Dante
Never growing up
Previous ChapterThe doors swung open with tremendous force as the young alicorn stepped through, trailed by Celestia who seemed all but happy rushing in front of him in a hurry to cut off his escape.
“You and I are not finished Dante! Hey! Listen to me!” Celestia shouted with disappointment in her voice.
Dante lay down where he stood his hooves massaging his head. “N… Not so loud mom… Ugh my head
hurts…”
She huffed and glared continuing to shout making a scene, “Do you think I care about your poor head? Maybe if you had somewhat -tried- to use the organ placed in there you would not be in such a mess as this! Look at me when I am talking to you!”
“I would mom, oh believe me I would but I just don’t want to.” Dante said with annoyance as his skull throbbed.
“You can NOT be serious, you are a prince! I expect you to behave as so!” She picks him up forcing him to stand. “Not completely obliterating a bar because you and Crimson had something to prove to some navy recruits?!” Celestia gets him to walk beside her down the hall of the castle.
“Now In my defense, it wasn’t a few recruits… It was… One two… Four? No no, three! Three different ship crews.” Dante walks wobbly into a table crashing over and shattering a vase laughing. “Oh nooo I broke the broken thingy…”
“For the love of me, why did you.” Celestia lays her ears back her eyes shut half way not in any way happy.
“They… They said the kraken was fake! My head still hurts… Mooooom my head hurts!”
The sound of Celestia’s hoof meeting her face echoed through the. “You are never going to grow up are you…” She continued on walking past him as he lay spread out over the shattered ceramic. “Shower and brush your teeth, now, I catch you asleep at all today I will have you and Crimson running drills till dawn do I make myself clear”
“… Maybe…”
“Dante!”
“Alright alright…” He walked to his chambers to bathe getting his head on straight. Looking in the mirror he sighed casting a spell to rid the headache. Looking into his wardrobe he saw many fancy clothes to wear then caught himself looking back in the mirror he grinned at his bare self, winking “I already look good anyways”
Dante found himself at rest for once in his room staring at his trophy collection from his past, one in particular. The glass jar housed an eye labeled ‘kraken’ “The Kraken is real…” Grunted Dante like a pouty child. Dante figured it wouldn’t hurt to visit around Equestria now, Ponyville in particular. He headed to the door stopping abruptly making a turn to his wardrobe. He squinted his eyes and reached in pulling out a decorative saddle, he never bought any of this stuff, his mom always picking clothes for him to wear. He tilted his head scratching it looking at it confused.
“Why the hell do people wear these things…?” He shrugged and tossed it out of the window by his bed only wearing his dog tags walking to the throne room to speak with him of his departure.
Celestia cautiously decided it couldn’t hurt as long as he didn’t cause trouble. Dante was gone in an instant the word okay slipped his mother’s lips she watched as be became a black dot in the sky muttering to herself “What have I done… Somepony bring me a bottle of wine. No… Bring it to the hot tub… I need to relax before he breaks something” She walks off towards her personal spa.
Dante landed in the middle of the city looking around and the life going about. “Ah, it’s a nice cloudy day.” As if cursed it began to rain he smiled looking up at the sky eyes closed as the droplets pat the ground.
“My mane!!! Oh no!” A mare’s voice cries out Dante makes a magical umbrella over her and smiles, it was the mare from the party, her eyes sparkle with her mouth agape
“P-Prince! Oh thank you!” She trots over holding materials the umbrella keeping everything dry her sapphire blue eyes glimmering as she looks up at him “Thank you so so so much!”
“It’s no problem, Rarity yes? May I escort you to your home?”
“I uh… I YES! I mean, please it would be so kind of you!” Rarity spoke under her breath excitedly. “A prince! A prince!! Okay Rarity, okay be calm, be smoooooth.” With a bat of her eyes she smiles up at him. “My home is this way, if you would walk with me?”
