Author's Note

I did think to quickly about the whole ending it and making a sequel. Thank you PyraFlare for helping me understand this. This chapter is when things start to kick off. Please enjoy and after this chapter, I am taking a long break to work on another project.

PART 2: NOVEMBER 10th 2015

Chapter 15: Silver, would you...

The train started to come to a halt as we approached the Canterlot station. Silver was bouncing up and down in excitement while Flash was shaking in fear, imagining what Shining Armor would do to him after he stepped off the train and into the city. I honestly thought it would have taken longer to get to Canterlot, but then again I DID have a good long nap while conversing with the princesses so that took off a good chunk of the time spent wondering the soul question 'Are we there yet?'.

As we got off the train, I noticed that around the train car was a group of royal guards, no doubt waiting for our arrival. I salute them with respect and they return the gesture with a small thanking smile. As me and Silver stood to the side, Flash stepped off the train. The guards were swarming him. I thought that they were about the pound him to oblivion but it turns out, he was being praised. It seems that him sneaking out for this long was a accomplishment. Who would of guessed doing the bad thing would be so rewarding!

Flash started to walk over to us, gesturing with his head that he was going to hang out with the guards for a while and I just nodded and gave him a small smile, giving him permission. He returned a nod and went off with the rest of the guards. I looked down at Silver. She seemed to be thinking about something because she wasn't making an attempt to move or even blink. A couple of seconds later, her head looked down and she started shaking a bit. I poked her to get her attention and she returned to normal, looking at me with a sheepish smile. I gave a little giggle at this and gestured her to look in the distance.

I could basically hear her jaw drop at the sight of Canterlot. She has been here before but that was when she was really young so she could never really see it the way she does now. It really was an astonishing city. I mean, the princesses put their castle in the side of a cliff! Can that get anymore awesome? Oh wait, it can because their is an ENTIRE CITY ATTACHED TO IT!

"So Sil..." I try to break the ice, "We have a bit of time to kill before we can head to the castle. What do you want to do?"

"Can we get something to eat? I'm starving!" She says, rubbing her belly.

I chuckle slightly at that remark, "Yea, we can get a bite to eat. What are you in the mood for?"

She looks down blushing, "I know this sounds weird but... Doughnuts?"

"Sure, why not?" I laugh a bit harder.

She perks up and points a tiny hoof over in the distance. Is that... is that a doughnut shop? I look down at her then back at the store she was gesturing at. I shrug it off and start walking. The sound of tiny hoofs beside me assures me that Silver is following me.

As we walk into the store, I look around to see what the place looks like. It looks like a restaurant. Not a fancy one but a nice one all the same. It seems to be popular, because its pretty packed. Actually, I think I know most of these ponies. There's Berry Punch and her daughter, Doctor Whooves, That DJ with her 'Best Friend' Octavia (MAREFRIENDS!!!), Some of the weather team, the CMC, Looks like that's Fancy Pants over there. Haven't seen him... in... forever... Why are the CMC here?

I thought I was imagining thing but there they were. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. This just raises more questions. Why are they here, what are they doing, are they here alone, how did they get there and WHY ARE THEY CHARGING AT ME AT FULL SPEED OH MY SWEET CELES-

OOMPH

Before I could finish my thoughts, I was tackled to the ground by the three smiling fillies. The only sound I could hear was Silver laughing harder than ever. I try to get up but when being pinned down by 3 ponies the size of a small boulder with almost the same weight between them, it makes doing any task impossible to accomplish... unless your goal in life is to prove how weak you are, and if it is, you're doing great, keep up the good work!

I try my hardest to get up but it was no use. I just sigh and give in. As I wrap them all in a hug, they all coo in delight. I released them and they hopped off me one by one. I started to get up, brushing off my clothes. As I looked around, I saw that no one else was disturbed from this but me. I guess they were all to busy eating to care that I was just pinned down by 3 fillies. As I looked back at the CMC, they are all grinning in delight to see me here.

"ANON!" Sweetie Belle squeaks.

"What are ya doin' here?" Apple Bloom asks.

"I'm here on official business with Princess Sun-Butt herself. But Silver and I have some time to spare and she was hungry so I brought her here for a bit to eat." I said, trying to sound as heroic as possible.

"Cool!" Scootaloo says in delight.

"Yea, but I gotta get Silver something to eat before she gets mad at me." I say, rubbing the back of my head.

"Alright" The say in unison, "Bye Anon!"

They all trot off back to where they were seated before and start munching on their doughnuts. I look down to see Silver making circles with her hoof, not noticing me beside her. I clear my throat and that causes her to jump a little. When I gesture to the counter, she shakily nods her head and walks over. She seems to be very nervous about something, but what? I shake the question off and follow her. As we take our orders, I start to pull out my bit purse, only to have the cashier say it was free of charge due to the 'Occasion". I asked what this was all about and he simply gasped and told me that I of all people should know. I just shrug and he nods his head. As he went to get our orders, I looked back at Silver to make sure she was ok. She was looking at me the whole time with a worried expression. Was something going on here that I was not aware of? I once again shake the thought off after I see the cashier returning with 2 boxes of doughnuts. This seems to confuse Silver but it only took me mouthing the words 'Sun-Butt' and nodding my head towards the top box for her to understand why I had so many doughnuts. We exited the store and headed off to the castle.

As we walk towards the castle, all the ponies we pass seem to look at us with weird expressions and keep whispering to each other at the sight of me. All these ponies knew who I was so why were they acting so strange around me today? Something is defiantly going on. What could it be? I'm not forgetting anything important am I? Maybe I will ask the princesses about this. I'm just to confused.

As we arrived at the gate, the two guards standing outside slowly approached me with something in each of their mouths. As I bent over to see what they were carrying, I noticed that in each of their mouths was an envelope with the name 'Anon' on it. I tilted my head and they nodded, signalling me to take them. One of them told me to only open it when I was meeting with the princesses. I shrugged and headed into the castle courtyard. As I walked around, I heard the birds singing for the rest of the animals outside today. It seemed that everything was in a state of peace today. Nonetheless I have two princesses that need my presence currently so I have no time to waste with the animals. As I slowly reach the main doors, I hear something running on the other side, heading towards the throne room. I open the doors and notice a shadowy figure bolting through the halls. I call out to it and start giving it a chase. It could be after the princesses!

As I chase it through the halls, It seems to make small adjustments to its running patterns, almost like it knows this castle inside out. I finally manage to catch up to it, but not for long as it breaks into the throne room and shuts the door behind it. As I approach the doors, I can't help but imagine what horrors await me behind this do- hey wheres Silver?

I look to the right and see a panting Silver Spoon trying to walk over to me. She must have chased me through the castle when I started running and ran out of breath about halfway through the chase. I wait for her to slowly reach my side and let her catch her breath a little before turning back to the doors. I slowly push them open, being careful not to make to much noise. The room is pitch black and it sounds like no one is in here. I slowly step through the door frame as Silver follows beside me. As I take step after step, I start hearing the doors close behind me. No going back now.

"Hello? Who's there?" I call out

"SURPRISE!"

"WHAT THE HE-" I try to scream but end up getting pinned to the ground by none other than...

"OhmygoshwereyousurprisedAnon?" Pinkie blurts out as fast as she can.

"Let me check. Fast heart rate, no sign of knowing this would happen... Yep!" I say, smirking, "But whats this all for?"

"Didn't you tell me when you first arrived that today was your birthday?" Celestia starts to walk up to me.

Yo brain, thanks for reminding me about this. How did I forget my own birthday? I am so mad with myself for forgetting today of all days. Wait... Is that why those guards said to wait before I opened the envelopes? And why so many ponies were acting strange around me today? That literally explains everything!

"I forgot... Whoopsie!" I say, playfully.

"Well lets open your gifts first" Celestia giggles, "We have been waiting for you to claim them after all."

"Ok!" I say, happily.

One by one, I slowly unwrap each gift to preserve what I can of the wrapping paper. Each gift was so thoughtful and even though they didn't have the tags saying who they were from, I could tell who got me what. Luna got me a telescope and Celestia got me some lenses for it. Applejack got me a bottle of Cider from last season which was so thoughtful, knowing the price for a bottle like that. Rarity gave me a beautiful necklace and Flutters got me a nice stuffed bunny. Each gift seemed unique to the pony who gave it. I looked at everyone with my eyes starting to water in joy. But then I see Silver, looking down, crying. I run over to her and hold her tight.

"What's wrong Sil?" I ask, concerned.

"I d-didn't get you anything..." She says, breaking down.

"It doesn't matter. You being here is enough!" I try to smile.

"But you have done so much for me and I didn't even bother to find out that your birthday was today so I was able to get you a gift!" She is getting worse.

"Well maybe you can give me the most special gift of all..." I say, nervously.

"What is that?" Silver says, looking up at me with confusion.

This is it. It's now or never. I am not going to screw this one up. Back on my old world, no one really liked me, and I was usually a loner but in this world... Equestria... I have found so many peo- erm... ponies who like me and one pony in particular who likes me more than that. Maybe for once in my life, I can make a good decision and let it be a lifelong decision of happiness. But as they say on earth, everything starts with a question.

"Silver..." I say, starting to lose it.

"Yea?"

"Will you go out with me?"

It has been 3 days since the party and I loved every minute of it. I never wanted it to end. The games, the cake, the dancing... It was all so amazing. They really did put alot of work into it. Now as I was sayin-

"Anon, dear" Rarity calls, "Come on, we need to get you prepared!"

"Coming!" I call out.

Looks like I will have to finish this another time. Right now, I have to prepare for tonight, because tonight, I have got a date with an elegant Silver Spoon.
