The Sociable

I was jumping in my bedroom holding Princess Cadance in a tight hug. "Oh my gosh, I got a date Cadance!" Cadance was smiling shaking her head.

"I told you, you would find your special some pony, Prancer." She said struggling for breath. Cadance hugged me back with a smile.

"So would do I wear for tomorrow, do I wear a dress, armor, nothing... what?" I released cadence from my tight hug.

"Why don't you just be yourself?" Cadance questioned.

That struck me dumb. "Ok, I'll just wear armor ok." Cadance nodded in agreement. I took off my armor and wore my tiara while Cadance didn't like to wear hers. 'Lucky people still know you're a Princess even without a crown.'

"Remember just be yourself, Prancer promise me you won't be a pony your not."

I shook my head, but smiled nonetheless "I promise Cadence." Cadance looked skeptical about it. "Cadance since when have I ever lied? Hmm."

Cadance wore an innocent appearance on her face. "Well, I guess you haven't... Yet!" Then she switched her look to an accusative playful look. Then she dashed out of the room. I chased after her. Before I knew it I was in pace with her running along side her.

"So where you headed Cadance?"

"Dinner of course!" We ran through the corridors. The guards would quickly opened the doors for us. Cadance almost ran into a door, but the guard's instincts kicked in in the last second moving the door away from Cadence merely centimeters.

Cadance hopped onto one of the chair's on the end of the table, and I sat next to her on the long side of the rectangular table. While we sat we chatted idly until the royal server came from the kitchen and bowed, then professionally asked us what we wanted.

"Cadance I can't wait for tomorrow."

Getting my gold royal guard armor polished, so it can shine for this special occasion. I was examining myself from the reflection in the mirror. I was posing, fluttering my eyelashes, puckering my lips. I wanted this to be perfect. My cousin told me lots of stories about dates... But she had never been on a date. Anyway, her advice is the best... I can't say the same for Cadance, one second she is helping you the next she, pranks You!

'You got this Prancer, all you have to do is be cute.' I grabbed a big bright red bow and put it on the back of my golden helmet. Cadance was jumping on my bed excitedly, observing me. She was grinning ear to ear it was threatening the split her face in half. "I think I'm ready to go Cadance!" I said happily.

Cadance nodded hastily "You look very cute Prancer. You got that stallion for sure." She winked at me. My cheeks flushed while Cadance bellowed with laughter. Then I made my stealthy getaway out of the window, and I gunned it.

Making it to the restaurant I got inside waiting for my cute date I was all smiles. I couldn't stop thinking about things we could as a couple I was, so excited. I waited for twenty minutes he still didn't arrive. I was checking the menu and looking around the restaurant, but could not spot him anywhere. My heart started to race a tad faster. I finally ordered ten minutes later. Sometime later I got my food, and ate now I was, all frowning, and sad. When leaving I only left a tip of two bits. My tail was all droopy just like my confidence. 'Was it because I was too happy. Did he not recognize me all polished up. Was it something I did wrong.' My eye's started to tear up when I got outside the restaurant I flew faster than a lightning flash home. I opened my window hopped on my bed, and stuffed my face in a pillow, and cried my heart out.

Three Days Later

I stayed in my room for a couple of days to regain my composure. 'Was it because I'm ugly, is it because I'm not a proper lady.' I looked myself in the mirror. Sad eye's stared back at me, my mane, and tail was droopy. "Well, he is probably right, about some of that." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened my eyes I put on a determined face. "I don't need love!" I growled at the mirror. "I don't need any pony!" I huffed. I started to get my guard armor. When I was done with that I put on a black tiara that Celestia gave me for my eleventh birthday. She said it belonged to someone very important to her, but that pony wouldn't be around to use it, so she gave it to me so I could use it. I smiled it was a beautiful gift it looks nice on me. Celestia says's I look like that pony too. "I don't need the rank for sure, I'm a princess." I took all my medals and star pins out of my armor and put them in a drawer inside my bed stand. I stood in front of the mirror again. I had my gold royal guard armor with the Celestial crest, my tiara. My mane flowing from a nonexistent breeze "I look dashing!" I said cheerfully, just when I was about to turn around the door's swung right open. Making me jump at the sudden invasion of Princess Cadance.

"So Prancer how did it go? You know your date!" She was jumping hoof to hoof. "So how did it go?!" She was moving her eyebrows up and down. "Was it amazing, romantic! What was it!" She nearly shouted in my face. I fell on my haunches sitting while Cadance towered over me standing on both of her back legs. I giant smile on her face.

"Well, he sort of didn't show up Cadance," I said flatly.

"Well that's alright you can just get some other stallion right?" I quickly shook my head. She gave me a confused look. "But surely there is another stallion that you can lo-." I put a hoof to her mouth, shutting her up.

"Cadance I just don't think love is for me alright." I cooed, with a sad expression. She backed away from me with the look of horror on her face.

"How could you say such a thing! Every pony needs love!" I stayed quiet for a moment.

"I do have love Cadance. I love my family, and they love me." I said as I walked past her. leaving the room with Cadance at a loss of words. I walked through the halls with a bored expression. I should probably get a bite to eat then check on how business is going. I nodded to myself in agreement.

Getting a salad from the kitchen I flew above the castle and sat on a cloud. Eating my lunch while admiring the scenery. I like salads you just get lettuce tomato, and some other plants throw it on a plate, and BAM! food. Watching the ponies in go through the afternoon Canterlot was my entertainment. It was just exciting watching the "snobs" react to things. But it was not, as funny as my favorite cousin he comes out of the blue. He knows how to make everyone's day. 'I wish he was here right now I need a little cheering up.' As I was finishing up my meal, I spotted a squad of guards royal guards... 'nooo... city??? you know what fuck it!' They were flying towards me.

I just sat there on the fluffy white cloud waiting patiently for them to make a fuss about my business above the castle. Most of the guards don't even know who I am all my tales are in old books. I'm known as other things besides's "princess". I'm known for my music, dancer, fighter, my appearance's, and other things but most ponies don't know much about me.

*Wing flaps

"HEY, YOU! This airspace is off limits..." He looked me up and down. All I simply did was raise an eyebrow. "Ma'am, what are you doing up here? Do you want to be areas tend?" I just laughed in his face.

'Of bucking course there is a dam royal guard flying to tell me this airspace is off limits. You know what buck him/her whatever don't care doesn't matter.' I had a sly smirk on my muzzle.

"I'm going to take you into custody... He tilted his head were is your rank pin soldier... And why the buck are you out of uniform, and how did you get your hair to do that."

"It's a secret now get out of my face before I tell your wife about your affairs with other mares Sargent." His eyes went wide. 'Oh ya, I just did that. I'm a dream walker my mom says it's a special gift. It's pretty neat, and not to mention handy.(*WINK)'

The Sargent just gawked at me threats. The two guards behind him were making discussed face's at their Sargent. "How do you that!"

I started examining my forehoof nonchalantly, and I simply said: "Equestria always finds out." His eye started twitching, and he started shouting at me some more threats. I just rolled my eyes. I just back hoofed him. Well, that just stunned him. "Quit wasting my time mortal! Do you really want to die do you have a death wish!"I said sternly. Making him wince and back down. "That is what I thought peasant." I spat more venom than necessary. This is a bad pony he is shut out from my good side.

Then I bolted to the city of Canterlot I zoomed through the stores I owned from ice cream parlors to night club's, toy store's, and others stores that I really didn't care about but made extra bits from. They were food, and drink related. I just appeared right in front of my employ's dropped a bag of bits in front of them and zoomed to the next building. They already got paid from the people that are in charge of the establishment. I just gave a seven-bid bonus. But if I was in a good mood the bonus would be higher. It was a just chance of luck for them.

Landing back in my room through the balcony panting heavily. "I need to rest." I walked over to my bed. I was ready to embrace the softness of my bed but them my door shot open making me jump again. I turned around gowning. "What now?"

"What now? What now?! WHAT NOW?! Prancer are you even hearing yourself this is like a big day for me, and you." Celestia had a gentle smile on her face. She trotted over to me and gave me a tight hug. "My little girl growing up..." She cooed.

"But I'm tired mom I was working today... So if you would be kind and let me sleep in peace. You know it's late, so '*Yawn' I'm going to crash." I said smacking my lips.

"You can sleep but I'm going to get you ready for the celebration." I gave her crossed looked. That only seemed to make her smile grow into a giant grin. Her horn began to glow and she blasted me with a spell, and then I was in the dream plains...

"I think I'm going to sleep this one out..." I muttered to myself.
