The Sociable

Thud

"Block, and protect your damn head!" Liberation was beating the shit out of Ashley. "Pick your hooves up Ash or your going to die!" Prancer was yelling irritated that Ashley didn't protect her face and if it was that it was her chest. 'Come on Ashley you can do this keep pushing yourself to the limit'.

"Come on, Ashley you can do this stop thinking and start doing go with the motions go with the momentum. Timing is key thas all." She added with slang. Ashley huffed. "Whimp you got nothing on me not even a punch on the hoof." Liberation tossed Ashley at the fall with a sickening "Smack!" She muzzle first, hit the wall and was there for at least three seconds that flopped on her back.

"Why do I need to know how to fight," Ashley grumbled. Her eyes were shut.

"You are a good fighter... It's just you know, you are fighting one of the best! Fighters in all of Equestria." Liberation nodded and strode out the room shaking her head. "Liberation you did well."

I walked over to Ashley poking her with a hoof. "Ummm are you dead yet." Her eyes shot open.

"What?!" She nearly shouted. Prancer slapped Ashley across the muzzle. "Ow! What was that for Prancer?!" Ashley scrunched up her nose.

"You just startled me," I said with an amused smile. 'Shit smile betrayed me'.

"You hardly get startled. Like when those scholars from that gifted unicorn school. Some of the children blow stuff up, especially that "TWILIGHT SPARKLE" she almost burned me alive... Besides the point she is very powerful those explosions don't even make you flinch!" My smile grew.

'This is so much fun'. "Well I'm sorry but you deserved the slap for being slow." I lend her a hoof which she accepted gratefully. I began to pat her head. Her eye twitched 'yup this is very fun'.

"I'm not a little filly!" She huffed. Then she started ranting about it which I just tuned her out. :p

I began to stalk my way towards the door until she noticed me near the door "Hey where do you think you're going?!" She shouted. I dove through the open doorway. I hauled ass out of there. Running towards to the oversized doors the guards opened the door with their magic I zoomed through. But their expressions were priceless.
I cared my smug smile through the castle's halls. Until I made it to the gardens I bumped into the discord statue mom told me about. I started seeing stars. 'Wow is this how brain trauma is like Nah I'm ok... Wait no, no my forehead hurts always these headaches for some odd reason it feels likes something wants to pierce out from my skull'.

I turn around and walk back into the castle rubbing my forehead. 'I need to get my medicine but only Celestia has it so... Primary Objective finds the Celestia.
(Optional ) Secondary objective gets drunk and a problem for future Prancer'.

Walking through the halls is calming yet boring if you get me. Walking towards the doors beside the throne room I poke my head in, and of course, Celestia is at court with nobles. 'I can wait yes right... Buck no! My health is way more important than court right.' I walk in the throne room silently closing the door behind me. 'No one noticed the pony in black armor cool'. I walk up to Celesta's side and whisper "Boo." She nearly fell out of the throne. It would have been even funnier if my head wasn't threatening to rip apart.

Celestia was quick to recover "Oh hello, Prancer what brings you here?" I pointed to my head and tilted it and stuck my tongue on the side of my mouth and closed my eyes. "Oh ok, I see." Her horn began to glow and with a flash, a glass bottle appeared with gold liquid inside it. She levitated towards me and I gulped it down eagerly. When I was done she teleported it who knows were. Laid against her and snuggled while she draped a wing over me. 'Who doesn't love their mom'.

*****

"What?! I don't want to go I went like eight times already why?!" I was pacing angrily as shit.

Celestia was sipping from her tea cup which was gone in every sip lol. "Because I just thought, Grand Prancer can go play with her friends... Oh, wait." She said with a shocked expression. Then changed to a Nah shit face "You don't have aaannnyyy..."

'Wow just leave it out that long I get the point.' "I don't need friends mom when I got family." She seemed to smile at that, but a sinister grin took form on her muzzle.

"You know... I know an awesome guard who is dedicated to her job and maybe she might want to let's say... Protect Princess Mi Amore Cadenza..." Celestia let that name float in the air for a while until Prancer finally broke the ice.

"No, I can do that she is my cousin and it would be honorable but... I like my job." She pouted. "I have troops to train and morale to keep up with my guards an-." She was cut off from Celestia.

"Why don't you have Liberation do it? Or Crimson, Night Howl, what about little Dusky she can 'probably' do it if you gave her a chance." I huffed.

"you can't make me, im an 'ADULT'," I emphasized by standing on my two hind legs to get eye level with her but not enough.

"And I'm the ruler of Equestria." She said flatly. Prancer just started sputtering.

"You can't do that!" I shouted across the table making the guards jump at my outburst. She Celestia just giggled behind a hoof at my reaction.

"Sorry I already signed you up for school." My jaw dropped. Celestia stood to her full height and glared at me leaning on the table with her forehooves. "Now stop your bickering 'Princess Grand Prancer' you will listen to your mother!" Prancer started crying and pressed her body pressing against the floor. Celestia's face softened when she saw the state her daughter was in. "Give me your armor Prancer." Prancers eyes shrank to pinpricks.

"But... But my armor is my shtick that's my everything." I got on my knees and pleaded. "I feel naked without my armor please don't."

"I already cleared your closet." I started whining like a puppy. "Now I don't want to repeat myself." She held out her hooves. I hesitated before giving her my helmet. My hair was flowing like hers. With an invisible breeze making my hair flow. "Now the armor." She said with a neutral face. I sighed in defeat and complied. No one knows what my cutie mark is because I make potions that will make it move and swirl. I gave her my armor. "Thank you Prancer, school will begin on July first at my school."

"But I don't have a horn mom." My voice cracked my eyes watery with tears.

"We will see Prancer... We'll see..."

"Good Night." I turned around and walked weakly towards the doors the guards opened the doors with their horns. I saw the look in their eyes they had pity in them. Walking to my room crying. I kept my gaze on the floor. Too ashamed to look someone in the eyes. I heard guards looking at me with concern on their face and voice. I just ignored them I felt like a complete wreck. When I reached my room I slammed my door.

I walked towards my closet and sure enough, all my clothes were gone well... my three favorite armors. I internally groaned she was not lying. I got on my bed and cried myself to sleep.

*****

I was having a very pleasant dream until a knock came at my door.

*Knock, knock, knock

I rubbed my nose and wobbled my way to the door. I hesitated before opening it, revealing Liberation with a concerned expression. "Hya Prancer are you feeling alright I heard... You were kind of cryi-." I quickly slammed the door in her face.

'Take that Bitttccchhh... Well if Celestia cleared my closet did she clear my...' I headed towards my private armory opening the door and sure enough cleared out. I huffed agitated at Celesta's antics. 'but... maybe she didn't get to my secret stash under my bed... Just maybe...' I crawled under my bed moving boxes of weapons out of the way. Sneezing from the dust and moving the cobwebs out of the way with my hooves. Until I laid my eyes on my prize. It was a trap door. I slid my room key in the lock and turned it with the satisfying click. I lifted the trap door to its limit until it scraped against my bed thankfully me bed has tall legs. I quickly dove inside. The trap door closed above me. I bucked the wall lightly and the lights burst on illuminating the room. There were armor stands in the entire room it practically looked like a warehouse. Looking at the verity of armor I hummed to myself lightly. 'What to pick, what to pick.' I stopped in front of the Royal Guard armor mom gave me. She would ask for me to return it when they were updating the armor... My first armor. We had a good run. 'It would be like a happy family reunion. 'Yup this is the armor I want.'

Putting on was easy because this was routine to me. Looking at the reflection in the mirror seemed awesome... I looked awesome my hair flowing 'but sorry had to put you away.' I put the helmet over my head. My armor had five stars on each shoulder, and my helmet I had a matching gold sword hanging beside me. All the medals all over my chest and the Celestial Cross. I whistled to myself in the mirror. "No one can stop me now." I stuck my tongue out and walked to a wall with a piano I played a few notes from a song I remember someone singing it to me but I don't remember who. The wall opened and I strolled through the hallway of darkness until reaching my destination I pushed on the wall and it flipped me on the other side and it closed behind me. I looked around no one spotted me. Well because the guards on my left were asleep on duty. While the ones on the right were talking oblivious to my appearance good... I walked over to the guards standing but surely asleep. I pulled out two blankets out of my armor. Place one on each of them. Pulled out a quill, and paper. Writing an excuse so if they got caught asleep they could get off the hook. I left the excuse papers in their armor exposed poking out under their muzzles.

I walked towards the doors and walked out. The sun hit my face and I had to squint to see where I was going until my eyesight adjusted. Wow in the Royal Gardens, it was a beautiful sight. But none of that time to go shopping in the city. I took flight and zoomed towards the city as a blur of gold.

*****

Walking through the city. I was scanning for a decent store come across. I was getting looks from the nobles and city guards. It felt like an eternity shopping but it was only about three hours. I went to bookstores and the hospital. I picked out a few supplies if I was heading to school I was going prepared right. I had books, check, quills, check, rations from the hospital, check. Now it was time to eat I'm starving.

Getting into a restaurant before rush hour was the plan. I got their fifteen minutes early before twelve. The waiter sat me at a table for two. She was saying how she was saying how honored she was for being my server. I really didn't really care I just wanted the stallion to get me my foooddd. When twelve struck I saw the doors fly open with ponies flooding in for lunch by that time the waiter brought me my food.

'Yay!'

I ordered the double chocolate fudge pancakes because well I love chocolate, so much I would probably marry it. I began to eat all posh but I decided for public appearance I should eat all fancy. As I was enjoying my food I could hear a small group of city guard talking about me. "ME!" out of all things. There was a mare and two stallions guards.

Well, I didn't know what but I heard them talking about my appearance. When I was done I flagged down the waiter that served me. I gave her a pretty generous tip of about two hundred bits. She squealed and hugged me thanking me for about a thousand times. She was making quite a show and I was regretting my decision of my good nature.

I walked out and started walking towards the park. When right there and then I noticed the trio of city guards following me. 'Celestia probably told them to follow me, buck no! She just can never leave me alone in peace. For buck sake!' I sit on a bench in the park and in the corner of my eye I only see one guard approaching me. 'Where are the other guards they are probably flanking me. Let us see what he wants...'

The tree's branches were gently swaying from the gentle breeze. I just wanted some peace and quiet besides the birds singing in the trees. When I heard the clopping moving on the stone my heart started to speed up.

"Um hello... miss..." He started to motion me with a hoof.

He was a small stallion for a guard. He had a royal blue coat just like mine. He even had Egyptian colored hair just like mine! He was wearing the city guard armor of course and no weapon... wait no weapon. 'Dammit, Celestia you were always soft when it came to your ponies.

"Grand Prancer, you." I patted the bench next to me. He hesitated before sitting next to me. 'Yes working for Celestia, He knows I'm dangerous.' I smile internally.

"The names Night Blade pleasure to meet you, Grand Prancer." He started fidgeting with his hooves.

'Getting ready for a fight I see.'

"Would... you um... you know sort of..." He started rubbing the back of his neck with a hoof.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Celesta sent you here to get me, didn't she. Look me in the eye's and tell me you the truth." I said calmly reaching for my sword slightly. 'Hopefully, he didn't notice the sword.'

"What no! I never even met Celestia in my life. I just wanted to ask you, if you wanted to go on a date with me. There I said it."

I moved my hand away from my sword. He was telling the truth I looked him straight in the eyes and he was being honest. "Yes of course!" I said joyfully, without hesitation.

That was one of the best moments of my life. No one in my long life has ever asked to go on a date with little me! I Squee in joy.
