Double Jinx was your average pegasus, nothing special about him whatsoever. He coat was a darker blue color, with a white-gray splotch on his right eye, he wore a dark brown leather jacket, and some blue jeans. Pretty regular, only thing slightly remarkable is that he works for the Royal Guard. And the fact he seems to be pretty regular. Which is odd considering that his name is 'Double Jinx', wouldn't you say so as well? Well, Double Jinx had an interesting way to earn his name. When he was a young colt, Double always would say something exactly at the same time as another pony, and then jinxing them for soda or candy, so his parents affectionately named him Double Jinx.
But that's not really Double Jinx. He is not a pony that would save Equestria. He wouldn't decide the fate of the universe, he just was your average guard. His tale begins in, of course, a bar, in Ponyville.

"Hey Double, how's the Royal Guards these days?" Asked Jonson, the bartender, nopony really knew why he was called that, but hey, no one knew Tireq would vaporize Twilight's house either. You've just got to roll with it sometimes.
"Nothing much, Celestia being a bitch, still demanding 14 hours a shift. How am I supposed to sleep?" Sighed Double. He order a light beer. "Easy tonight, I've still got to get my birthday cake. And my nonexistent presents." Double sighed, rather saddened none of his buds would be able to join up with him. Double downed the light beer, feeling the slight burn go down his throat, "Bah! Talk to you later Jonson!" And with that, Double left to his little rented room near Twilight's castle. Nice view back then, but now... Twilight's castle blocked the view.
One thing that really interested Double were cars. While useful for all sorts of things, they could be really dangerous. He smiled. It was a beautiful evening, regardless of what anypony said. Double Jinx found the crosswalk. "Ah! It's great to be alive in 2077!" He exclaimed. He saw the crosswalk symbol show for go, and looked both ways to make sure he was clear. He walked across.
Double crossed two more times before walking into Sugar Cube corner, and saw a familiar pink unicorn, with a crazy pink mane with a sky blue streak in it. "Hey Pinks, how's the store today?" Asked Double, he wondered how Pinkie Pie all those years ago could be as happy as the pink ball before him.
"Howdy Jinxie! How am I? I'm okie dokie Loki! Do you want your bestest birthday-est birthday cake ever!?" Asked Pinkie Cake, who was like the third child down from Pinkie Pie.
"How many times do I have to ask for you not to call me that?" Asked Double Jinx playfully.
"Never enough!" Replied the very happy, very pink unicorn. She beamed at him as she gift wrapped his birthday cake.
"Hey, you want to share my cake with me? I've got nopony else to share it with." Asked Double, "I've got nopony else to eat this came with."
"No party? No friends to come over!?" Pinkie said very quickly then she gasped loudly and appeared to pass out.
"Pinks!? Pinks you okay?" Double jumped on the counter, to see nopony on the other side of the counter. "What the buck..." Muttered Double. Only to be tackled from behind.
"Of course I'll spend your birthday with you, just let me get my things!" Pinks nearly shouted like a rapid fire machine gun. She bounced out of the room, she returned levitating a purse, and had a loose shirt and a skirt that was a little on the shorter side.
"You ready?" Asked Double. He grabbed a saddle bag and slipped the cake into the bad. He looked at the stitching on the saddle bag, and smiled at the pink unicorn. "Thanks." He mouthed.
"Did you think that I would forget your birthday silly?" Asked Pinks. She smiled, and he nuzzled her.
"Your the best marefriend ever, you know that?" Double smiled, already knowing the answer.
"You bet it, and now, let's get out of here." Pinks opened the door, and flipped the open sign to closed. Double walked out the door with Pinkie Cake.
"So, Pinks where do ya want to go?" Ask Double. He watched about three ideas pass over Pinkie's face. "What are you thinkin' Pinks..." Double trailed off as the unicorn kissed him, completely catching him off guard, but then she pulled away.
"Have your parents sent that money for your birthday present yet?" She asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"Yeah, why?" Asked Double, wondering what Pinks had in mind.
"Let's go replace that old car I know you've kept in the apartment garage. That thing is what, over ten years old?" Asked Pinks, who smiled warmly.
"First, it won't start, and it's vintage." Defended Double. He loved that car.
"Let's go buy something else, something fast, huh?" Pinks said, adding extra sway to her hips. She smiled back at him. Smiling.
"Really? Come on, I think that we can do better than fast." Double retorted, keeping one or two ideas out of his mind.
The couple strolled down the sidewalk, to a local car dealer, who's salespony was a decent but gruff earth pony.
"Double, you finally gonna sell me that wreck in your garage? It's about time I've claimed 'er." Asked the hopeful salespony.
"Yup Slick Shift, it's your now, and to better your day, I'm getting a new one." Replied Double Jinx. He smiled and then said "You're really gonna sell me it? Really? Wow, what happened that your selling?" at exactly the same time as Slick Shift, and then to answer the surprised earth pony, "It didn't take much convincing, but Pinks here decided that I need a new ride. Oh, and you owe me a soda."
