Weeks turned into months as the heat of the badlands took its toll on the workers, I was on my bed relaxing with Trixie when my advisors unexpectedly walked in.I looked at them for a moment.
"Princess Star Shine I am your agricultural advisor Sunny Smiles" the mare standing next to the mayor said.
"What crop problems do we have?" I asked now sitting up.
"Not enough water," Sunny said with a sigh.
"I'm Sapphire your ecological advisor," the blue mare next to Sunny said.
"What do you suggest?" I asked looking at Sapphire.
"There's a water source near town," she said pulling out a map, Sapphire set the map on the table near the window and we gathered around it.Sapphire pointed to where the water source was located on the map.
"That's not far," I said surprised, the mayor shook her.
"It's a trek through the desert though" the mayor said looking down.
"Mayor we have no choice taxes on food are too high for the town we need to grow our own food," Sunny said looking at the mayor.
"That one source of water can provide the town with irrigation water and fresh water for amenities," Sapphire said trying to convince the mayor.
"Alright I'm on board if Princess Star Shine is on board," the mayor said looking at me, I thought for a moment before replying.
"The town needs water let's do it," I said looking at my advisors.
Trixie elected to stay back at the hotel as my guards prepared for the short trip to the water source.
"Those are some pretty good tools," I said watching my guards pack picks and shovels.
"We will be digging once at the water source Princess," Captain Starbound said looking at me, I stayed quiet after that as Sapphire walked up with her map and a backpack.
"Well I see your ready princess," Sapphire said looking at me.
"It's a short trip no use in packing," I said with a shrug.
"You sure you want to wear that scarf it's like a hundred degrees out here," Sapphire said pointing to my scarf.
"I rarely take it off only to go swimming, showering, or washing it" I replied crossing my arms.
"We're ready ma'am," Captain Starbound said as she turned and looked at me, we headed out shortly after it had cooled down a bit.
"So captain have any plans when head back to town," one of the male guards asked Captain Starbound.
"You're not getting any from me so shut the fuck up" Captain Starbound replied sternly, the guards laughed at him as he looked away ashamed for asking.Sapphire focused on her map before saying.
"We're here" I looked around seeing nothing but heat waves as far as the eye could see, the guards began digging as the heat of the day soon arrived.After an hour of digging Captain Starbound removed she breastplate, tanktop sweat quickly drenches her tank top showing the outline of her breasts.Sapphire began watching Captain Starbound with a look of arousal.
"You okay?" I asked looking at Sapphire.
"Yes yes just enjoying the view," Sapphire said smiling.
"So you study ecosystems?" I asked trying to start small talk.
"Yes," Sapphire replied still watching Captain Starbound.
"That's cool," I said feeling awkward.
"I would love to study Captain Starbound in private," Sapphire said licking her lips, my eyes widened upon hearing that and seeing her lick her lips.
Luckily the guards finished pretty quickly and we headed back to town, I looked to see Sapphire walking close to Captain Starbound almost touching her.Once we got back to town the first thing I noticed was some ponies cleaning dirt and sand from a fountain.
"Water will be flowing in a few days" sapphire said looking at me.
"Really wow," I said surprised.
"Everything was set up but the source wasn't dug out till now" Sapphire explained, I looked intrigued.
"Really what happened?" I asked tilting my head.
"Not enough money till now" Sapphire replied.
"If the town's economy was ruff before who knows if I can improve it once I form my kingdom," I said looking down, the walked over seeing me in distress.
"What's wrong princess?" she asked setting her hand on my shoulder.
"I don't know if I can rule my own kingdom," I said with a sigh.
"That's why you have advisors we're here to help you," she said smiling, the fountain quickly filled as water rushed out of its spouts.I smiled watching the beautiful sight.
"Thank you, mayor," I said still smiling "You're" welcome princess" she replied with a smile.
The guards that went with me including Captain Starbound showered before heading to the bar as ponies in town enjoyed fresh pure water from the aquifer.I showered then laid down as Trixie laid next to me and cuddled me.
"I love you, Trixie," I said before kissing her.
"I love you too Star Shine" Trixie replied then kissed back.
