(PoV: Twilight Sparkle)

One thing being a princess has taught me is that I'll get a bad case of writer's cramp. I been writing for the past week with issues that been happening in and around Ponyville. Luckily the demon attacks have slowed down a bit, but as Celestia said 'There's going to be some that will find an issue that they will complain about’ I sighed a bit.

“And with the nobles that came here, more issues have be popping up,” I said to myself as I looked at a piece of paper and frowned, “To take out a bush because it looked at me funny…’ there nobles do love to complain about everything.”

I put the paper down and reach for another one. I stopped as a pair of cyan hands covered my eyes.

“Guess who.” I smiled and turned my head and removed the hands.

“Hey Rainbow, how are you?” I asked. She smiled and give me a peck on the cheek.

“I'm awesome, but when am I not,” she told me. She sat across from me and picked up one of the pages and read it. She frowned.

“Gees, nobles complain about anything huh.” I groaned at her. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the pile of paper.

“If this keeps up I'm going started wishing for demon attacks, with those it's simple.” I said to her. Rainbow put the paper and stared at me. She had her worried look on her. I sighed.

“I know Rainbow, I'm working myself to the bone but I can't help it. I'm a princess and I have a responsibility to everypony.” I looked at the pile of paper and scowled. “I just wish that some of them didn't complain a lot.”

“I think you need a break,” she said. I was about to say something but she stood up. She walked around me and started to massage my shoulders. I moan a bit.

“Tell you want, Nyx and Scootaloo are still in school and they are hanging out with their friends for the day, how about we head out to grab something to eat, just the two of us.” she leaned in near my ear. “And tonight we will have some… ‘Alone time’ and get you more relaxed.”

I looked at her and saw that she had a seductive smiled.

“Sometimes Rainbow, your head is stuck in the gutter.” I stood up and stretched a bit. “But a little break would be nice, do you have a place in mind?”

“Well there's the new place that I been hearing about from the others on the weather team, so maybe there.” She told me.

“Alright, do you know where it is?” I asked. She nodded and I turned to head out.

“Umm Twi, what about the other part?” I turned and looked at her.

“Like I said, your head is always in the gutter.” She frowned and shifted a bit. I walked up to her and kissed her. I pulled away and leaned into her ear.

“But I didn't say no.” I pulled back and saw that she wide-eyed. I winked at her and turned to walk out, swaying my hips as I walked.

“Bwah…” Was all I heard from her.

We walked around for a bit as we headed to the place Dash has said about. We have been walking for twenty minutes.

“Are you sure you know where it is?” I asked her.

“Of course, I do, I was told that it's hard to miss,” she told me. She frowned a bit as she looked around.

“Maybe we should ask for directions,” I told her. She scowled at me.

“No, I'm your marefriend and I know where I'm going, it's just around… Oh” She stopped and looked ahead. I turned to see what she was seeing. Right between two colorful buildings was one dark one. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

“They weren't kidding about it's hard to miss.” She muttered. We got closer to the place. I saw the sign and raised an eyebrow.

“The Seven Sins Pub', interesting name for a place,” I said out loud. We walked down the steps and Dash opened the door for me. I smiled at her and walked in. The place had a cozy air about it. It had low lighting that made the place dim, dark wood floors and tables set up in different places and booths across the one side. One thing that stood out was how many there were. Thirteen. There was thirteen tables, thirteen booths, and thirteen pillars.

“Why does this place feel like we walked into a cave?” Rainbow asked. I glared at her and headed to the bar area since there’s no waiting place. I saw two old stallions playing a game of chess. Other than the few clinks of chest pieces it was quite.

After a minute, we heard the sound of footsteps coming up from the back.

Blake
Ten minutes before

Business has been slow but I knew this would happen since I opened about a month ago Ever since I open shop not a lot of ponies came by. I also went to talk to some of the other shop owners if they wouldn't mind spreading word about the pub. Some said that they would put a sign up in their shop. One had the balls to ask for a payment just to do it. Another did the same thing but had a better offer.

Berry punch as it seems owns a liquor store in town and would say stuff about the pub if I would use some of her drinks. I agreed and the next day I got a few big crates of alcohol from her. All I gotta say is that she has a good taste in drinks. Even the Apple family allow me to use some of their cider for the pub. All in all I’m not worried about the drinks.

With the coin I got I went and bought food supplies to make meals with. You can’t have a pub without food now can you. I got everything from heyburgers to stews. I knew that I would need to stock up on meats for any griffins that come and any others that eat meat but for now this was good.

I marked off the last item and headed to the wine cellar to pull out one of the new drinks I got from Bon-Bon. As it seems she trying to make some candy flavor drinks and asked if I can use them. The one I got was a bubble gum flavored liquor that was pink. As I pulled the bottle I felt a pull in the back of my head. I put a spell up that would tell me if anyone comes into the pub. As I could tell there was two of them.

I went over to a reflective object and looked at myself. I wore a black t-shirt with the words ‘Kiss me, I’m Irish!’ on it with some jeans. I had my hair in a ponytail. I nodded and headed up to the main floor. I pass the back room that had some items with ovens that would keep meals warm and fresh. How did they do that I have no clue? I walked out and saw both Twilight and Rainbow.

“Well, I was wondering when I would see you here,” I said to them. They looked at me and Twilight blinked at me.

“Blake? You work here?” She asked. I chuckled and smiled.

“I work and own this place,” I told them. Rainbow eyes widen.

“You own this place, how?” She asked. I shrugged.

“Oh you know I have ways, now what would you like?” I asked them. Twilight looked at me and frowned.

“Don’t you have any menus we can see? It’s not like we would know what we would like right off the bat.” I looked at her and slowly pointed towards the wall. There was a sign with all the dishes that I could make.

“Oh.” Was all she can say. I rolled my eyes.

“Menus are coming in a few days, so all I can do is make a sign,” I told them.

“Cool, so what are you going to get?” Rainbow asked her. Twilight looked through the menu.

“I would like, a hayburger with yam fries with water.” I looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

“Twilight, this is a pub you're supposed to get some alcohol,” I told her. She looked at me with a look.

“Well yeah but I don’t want to drink alcohol.” I saw Rainbow roll her eyes.

“Come on Twi, we’re here to relax so try to live a little.” She said to her. I was about to say something but Twilight cut in.

“I know that but I don’t want to repeat what happened the last time I got drunk.” This got my attention. I leaned forward a bit as Dash snickered.

“Alright, alright fair enough but get something other than water.” Dash said. Twilight frowned and looked back at the borde. I leaned in to get her attention.

“How about the Blood orange punch, it’s non-alcoholic and it taste great fresh,” I told her.

“Alright, I’ll get that.” I nodded and told her to go sit somewhere so I can get Rainbows order. As soon as she left I turned to Rainbow.

“So what happened last time?” I asked. She looked behind her and lean into a whisper.

“Well one night I got some drinks from some pals from the weather team and showed Twilight and we had a few, and boy she went from an egghead to a party animal.” I saw her blush a little. “That night was amazing.”

I shifted a bit and leaned back. I didn’t want to press for more.

“Right so what can I get for you?” I asked. She looked at the board.

“I’ll also get a hayburger with yam fries but with hard cider” I nodded to her.

“Right, they will be ready in a few.” I frowned at her. “But just to let you know that I’m not taking it to you.” She frowned at me. She was going to say something but I pointed to the wall with another sign. It had the rules on it and rule two said that if you want it you should come get it.

“Right…” She said as she headed to sit with Twilight. I went and grabbed everything I needed. I put the yam fries to cook for twenty minutes and grabbed the burgers. Strangely they cook the same way as meat burgers. I checked to see if the fire in the stove was up and put in some more wood and move them so I got a even heat. I place the burgers down and started to make the meal.

After twenty minutes I got the meals made and set them on the bar deak. I snapped my fingers and a light was lit on the table where Twilight and Rainbow sat. Rainbow looked at me and saw that their meals was done. She went up and took them. I watched them as they ate. I smiled as their faces lit up with how good the meal was. I chuckled and cleaned up a bit. Five minutes later the door was slammed open.

I looked back and saw two noble and two guards standing there. When I saw them I knew that I didn’t like them. They were all unicorn. The two guards looked the same other than the fur colour, one is white and the other gray. The two nobles looked snobby. One was a stallion with emerald fur and a blue mane and the other was,a mare with pink fur and a purple mane. They had their nose up to make it look like they were looking down on everyone. The stallion looked around and sneered. I frowned as they walked over. I heard a groan from where Twilight and Dash are sitting. It seems that the nobles didn't notice her.

“I'm guessing that you're the one who owns this place.” the stallion asked. I glared at him.

“Yes, I'm the one would you like something to eat and drink?” I asked them. The mare snorted at me.

“And what would you have to give to us, our taste are much superior to others. She said. I gave her a deadpan look.

“So… Salads?” I asked. They looked at me angrily.

“Do you understand what we are saying your lowly creature, we are higher up than you.” the mare said. I glared at her.

“If you're here to bullshit then I would like you to leave,” I told them. The mare was about to say something but the stallion stopped her and looked at me.

“I guess I should cut to the chase then, you see we have been thinking of buying this place for sometime now, but you went ahead and bought the place so…” He then brought out a checkbook and a pen. “ How much would you like for the place?”

I looked at him and at the checkbook. I eyed at him for a minute.

“The pub isn’t for sale,” I told him. I saw his eye twitch for a second.

“I don’t think you heard me right…” He started but I cut him off with a glare.

“I heard you, and I’m saying to bugger off.” I told him. The mare looked angry and was about to say something but the stallion leaned in close to me.

“Listen, if you knew who I was then you would know that I will make your life living a living hell, so much so that you would wish the demons killed you.” He threatens. I narrowed my eyes at him. I don’t like anyone who thinks that they could push people around just because they have money. Human or pony.

“Are you going to order something?” I asked. He tilted his head a bit which I took as a no. In a flash I pulled one of my knives out and slammed it on the bar counter, inches from his hand. He backed off and I glared at him.

“Then get the foc out of my pub.” I threaten him. I saw all four of them stare at me. I glared at the nobles as the guards didn’t know what to do.

“Fine, I guess we’ll leave but do know that in one way or another this place will be ours.” He said. They all turned and left the pub. I crossed my arms and scowled.

“Ná geall ar sé do thóin.” I muttered. I saw that the two older stallions were looking at me. I raised a brow and saw that they went back to their game. I saw Twilight looking at me worried. Odd that those nobles didn’t see a Princess here. Both Dash and Twilight came up and walked over to me.

“What was that about?” Twilight asked. I shrugged at her.

“Pain in the ass nobles want to buy the pub and I told them to shove off,” I said as I pulled a bottle of rum from behind me and a glass. I poured myself a glass.

“Why would they do that?” Rainbow asked. I again shrugged and took a sip from my drink.

“They said that they had their eye on it and I got it before them so they wanted to buy it off me and, again, I told them to shove off,” I told them. Twilight frowned at me.

“I don’t recognize them but if they are high nobles it could be bad for you.” She told me. Before I could say anything Dash started talking.

“Don’t they know that you’re the daughter to Princess Luna? It’s a bit ballsie to try to threaten you if they did.” She said. For a third time, I shrugged and shot the rest of my drink back.

“They would be if they did know, I didn’t want everypony to know I’m her daughter and started treating me like I’m royalty,” I told them.

“But aren’t you?” Dash replied. I tilted my head at her.

“Well yes but I don’t want to be treated like a princess, not my style. Oh by the way how was your meals” I asked them. They both smiled at me.
“It was amazing.” Twilight told me.

“Yeah, you’re one hell of a cook.” Dash also said. I chuckled.

“Well living in a orphanage for most of my life I didn’t have anything to do so I started to learn how to cook and play an instrument. When I grew up I started to do odd jobs here and there so I picked up a few things.” I told them. I looked over at Dash. “Oh and that would cost you twenty bits.”

“Wait what?!” She said in surprised. I put my hand out.

“I said that would cost you twenty bits, seven for the meal and three for the drink so that would be ten and that’s not counting Twilight’s meal which is also ten bits,” I raised an eyebrow at her. “You’re not going to make your marefriend pay for the meal are you?”

“Wha- No! No I’m not.” Dash started to dig around in her pockets and pulled out half what was needed. She bit her lip at the sight.

“Umm…” She began to sweat a bit. I giggled and grabbed the bits.

“Tell you want, I’ll give you a discount for today because your friends.” I told her. I looked down and saw that there’s was a half chewed piece of gum in my hand. Eww.

“I’m guessing that you want me to do something for you huh.” She deadpan. I smiled at her.

“Yup, not now but in the future.” I told her. I flicked the gum away and pocketed the bits.

“Well thank you for the meal Blake, we better head out since we have other stuff to do, oh and Dash,” Twilight began. I saw her stare at Rainbow with bedroom eyes. “Remember the other half of our date.”

Dash looked confused at her until I heard a smack and she jumped and blushed. I saw Twilight giggle and walked out. Both me and Dash watched her leave.

“Well, somepony is getting lucky tonight.” I said out loud.

“Who?” Dash asked. I just deadpan stare at her.

“Who do you think lover girl.” I told her. It took her a moment till her mouth made an ‘oh’ shape and looked at where her marefriend was.

“I thought I imagined that.” I heard her say. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a bottle of wine.

“Here, I think this would spice up your night.” I handed her the bottle. “On the house.”

She snorted at me, and quickly giving me a thanks and running out. I chuckled and looked at the dent on the bar table. I then shrugged and continued on my day.

The rest of the day went with nothing notable happening. Some more customers came in, I got some bits and all in all it was a good day, other than those two nobles but what can you do.

After cleaning up the place and dishes (thank god that there was dishwashers here,) I went upstairs to my room to change and go to sleep. After I closed my eyes I opened them to see that I was laying on a hill overlooking an ocean with a setting sun. I sat up to watched the sunset with a smile. I heard something behind me. I turned to see mom sitting behind me at a table drinking tea. She was in her human form since we agreed that if we talk in the dreamscape she would be in that form.

“Hi mom” I greeted her. She looked at me with a smile.

“Hello Blake, how have you been.” She asked me. I stood up and sat at the table. There was only a tea set so I grabbed a cup.

“Oh you know, same old stuff.” I took a sip of the tea. It tasted like the rum I had today which made me frowned. I still haven’t figure out the hole eating in the dreamscape yet.

“Really, well I guess nothing eventful happened.” She said to me. I looked at her and tilted my head.

“Well there was those two nobles that came in and were rude.” That got her attention. She looked at me and raised her eyebrow. “Two nobles came in and tried to buy my pub away and I told them no, they didn’t take it nicely.”

“And they are probably going to ask my sister to change that,” Mom said. She sighed and rubbed her eyes. “Honestly, I believe that most nobles are stupid sometimes.” I shrugged at her.

“Ehh what can you do.” I told her. She looked at me and chuckled. “So how’s the dream walking?”

“Oh you know, same old stuff.” She then shifted a bit. “Although I just came from a drunken dream and it was straight up weird.”

“Oh, who’s dream did it belong to?” I asked as I took another sip.

“It was Twilight Sparkle.” As soon as mom said that I did a spit take. I started laughing.

“Oh god really! Twilight was having a sexy drunk dream, oh that’s rich!” I continued laughing after that.

“How did you know that it was a secy drunk dream?” She asked. I slowly started giggling and looked at her. I had to wipe the tears away.

“I have my ways, so what was in the dream?” I asked her. She just stared at me.

“Why do you want to know, isn’t Twilight your friend.” Mom asked. I smiled at her.

“Yea, but I’m your kid remember.” I told her. I saw a smirk appear on her.

“Yes you are, before I continue I have to tell you that there will be a book arriving tomorrow in the main room of the pub from Celestia, can you please give it to Twilight for her.” She asked me.

“Sure no problem now what happened.” I put my elbows on the table and propped my head with my hands. I must of looked like a little kid since mom laughed.

“Well it started with Twilight and her girlfriend Rainbow are standing on a giant waffle with whipped cream…”

I woke up as the sun was rising in the sky. I got out of bed and stretched. I went to my bathroom to take a shower and check my wings if they were ok. Don't know why I do that but it became a habit of mine.

After that was done I went and put on a white camo shirt and faded jeans. I went downstairs to the main room and saw a book on the bar table. I went over and saw that it was a big book with a red and yellow sun on it. It looks familiar to me.

I put the book in my bag and headed out of the pub and went across the street to the coffee shop to buy some coffee and a muffin. After that I headed over to Twilight's castle. As I was walking there I saw something black and white move out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I frowned and continued on.

‘Maybe it was a cat.’ I thought to myself.

It took me a bit but I got to the castle. When I got to the front door I finished my muffin and felt something buzzing in my bag. I looked down and saw something glowing in there. I opened it and saw that it was the book was glowing and buzzing. I took it out and opened it. I saw that there was only blank pages but on one page words were being written.

I read the message and got what’s going on. I knew this book looked familiar to me, it was the book Sunset has in the other world to contact Twilight in this world. Like a cellphone. As I stared at the book an evil idea popped into my head. I smiled and pulled a pencil out of my beg and began to write.

‘Thank you Sunset, but our Princess is in another castle!’ I wrote down. I chuckled as I draw Toad underneath the message. I closed the book and walked into the castle. I took five steps and the book started to glow again. I opened it and saw that Sunset wrote back.

‘What? What are you talking about? And what’s that creature that was drawn there?” The message said. I frowned at it and pulled my pencil out.

‘Oh come on! Didn’t you play Super Mario Bros!?!’ I replied to her and I waited for a message from her. She wrote back a minute later.

‘What’s Super Mario Bros?’ I just stared at the message.

‘Your childhood must of been terrible then…’ I wrote back. I continued walking to what I guess is the map room. I felt the book buzz and I looked in it.

‘What??? Who are you?’ I rolled my eyes and closed the book and put it back into my bag. I grabbed my coffee and went on to the map room.

As I got there (Which was amazing since this place is like a maze) I opened the door and saw the mane six are there. I saw some were sitting and others were pushing a box around. Twilight and Rainbow on the other hand were sitting in their chairs looking hung over. I chuckled and walked in.

“Hey there Blake, didn’t know that ya was coming here.” Applejack said as she pushed a big box to a corner of the room. I smiled at her and looked at the two hungover ones.

“So, I’m guessing that last night was a fun time for you two huh.” I said to them. They glared at me.

“Shut up.” Rainbow replied. I chuckled and handed the cellbook to Twilight. She looked at it with a questionable look.

“What’s this?” She asked as she took it.

“This is from Princess Celestia,” I told her. Twilight opened it and got to the page with the message. She blinked and looked at me with a raised eyebrow. Her hangover was gone know, how did she do that you may ask well I have no idea. Magic?

I watched Twilight showing her friends a book about sirens as I handed Rainbow a glass of water. I blinked and looked around.

“Darling, are you alright?” Rarity asked me. I looked at her for a moment.

“How did we get here?” I asked her. She was about to answer but Pinkie jumped in.

“REASONS!” She yelled. I stared at her. What? How? Why? I have so many questions!

I stood there staring off in space as the other talked for a bit. I heard Pinkie suggest using the book to open the portal and we all watched as Twilight build the machine. All in all what was happening was the same as in the movie but in anthro form.

As the rest of them watched as this was going on I turned and went out of the library to explored the castle. I don’t want to get lost in this place in the future.

I’m now lost in Twilight’s castle. Damn you Murphy!

I walked around the place and found so many rooms. A lot of them are empty, like really why is this place so damn big for four ponies?!?

I returned to the library and saw that the mane six were gone. I looked up and saw that it was getting dark. I turned to leave but saw that there was a note on the table in the room. I went in to read the letter. As is seems that Twilight went to the EG world to help Sunset out. She also asked me to look after Nyx for her. I frowned at that.

“Wouldn’t Dash take care of her?” I said out loud. I continued reading and saw the reason. As it seems that Dash has to go to Cloudsdale for something and it would take a few days.

“Mom?” I heard someone behind me. I turned to see Nyx standing there with Pjs on with a moon and stars on them. I almost fell at how adorable she was. I also saw that she looked at me fearful. I went over the kneeled down.

“Hey there, remember me.” I asked her. She stared at me and nodded.

“Y-yes, you're that a-angel lady who’s Princess L-Luna's daughter.” She stuttered. I frowned a bit but replace it with a smile.

“Yes I’m her daughter, say what’s your name? I never asked.” I asked her. I had to lie about her name since I knew her name. But she didn’t know that I know so I’m pretending to not know the I know her name so that she knows the I don’t know. You follow?

“My name is Nyx Sparkle, and I know your name it’s…” She stops and bit her lip. “Ummm…”

I chuckled a bit. “My name is Blake Oíche, you can call my Blake.” I told her. She nodded to me.

“So Blake, why are you here?” She asked me.

“Well your mom is out for a few days and so is Dash so I’m here to watch you.” I told her. She frowned and started to pout.

“I don’t need a foalsitter, I’m old enough to take care of myself.” She pouted. I chuckled and stood up.

“I think so to but your mom told me to look after you so I am.” I told her. I open my hand to her. She hesitated but slowly she took my hand.

“Now then since it’s almost dark we should-” I stopped as we walked out to the hallway. I remembered that I still don’t know where the hell I was going.

“You know where your room is?” I asked her.

“Umm I think it’s-” I groaned as she said that and picked her up.

“Nope, not getting lost in this place again.” I said as I walked to the wall. As I stepped to the wall my shadow walk went up and we walked through it.

We reappeared in my living room. I put Nyx down as I saw her shiver. Ahh crap.

“Sorry Nyx, I wasn’t thinking.”, I told her. She looked at me.

“I-I-It’s fine, it’s just c-c-c-cold.” She told me. I went to my bathroom and started a bath for her.

After a couple minutes Nyx was clean and warm and I shown her to my room.

“You can sleep here for the night. I can take the couch.” I told her. She looked with wide eyes.

“I can’t do that! This is your place!” She said. I shrugged at her.

“And you’re my guest, what would I be if I let you take the couch.” I told her.

“Well, for one your family.” She said. I stared at her. That came out of left field.

“What?” I asked her. She bobbed her head side to side.

“Well since you’re Luna's daughter and I’m… her, kinda, that means that we’re family.” She explained. I thought about it. If she knew that she was part of mom then that means that she knows that she’s was Nightmare Moon.

“I see, well I guess we’re family but that doesn’t mean that you would take the couch.” I told her. She shifted at place.

“Well… I was wondering that you could sleep in the same bed with me, I don’t sleep well in different places.” She told me. I frowned at that.

“Didn’t you sleep at the Applebloom’s and Sweetiebell’s homes before?” I asked her.

“Yeah but Scootaloo was there, now I’m by myself.” She looked down and I put on my sad face. Oh god the sad cuteness is overpowering!

“Alright, for one night but if you're staying longer than a day then you have to sleep by yourself,” I told her. She nodded and jumped into bed and closed her eyes. I saw her horn glowed a bit. I was about to say something but say a flash and a small purple alicorn appeared. It was Princess Twilight stuffy. Awwwww!

I change to some shorts and a tank top and climbed in bed. I closed my eyes and a minute later I felt something snuggling up to me. I opened my eyes and saw Nyx sleeping next to me while hugging the stuffy. To. Much. CUTE!

“Night Nyx,” I said softly as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Author's Note

No one can hold on against the power of Nyx's cuteness!

See you all in the next chapter :)
