I yawn gently while reaching for the glass filled with orange juice sitting next to my chair.

She’s been gone for a while and I feel pretty tired. I wonder what time it is back on my world, or how my family might be reacting.

I look outside the window at the stars and smile at how good they look.

I wonder if Luna took over putting the stars up yet. They seem much more beautiful than on Earth… A lot more of them too weirdly enough. Maybe I’m just in a different part of the universe and Lauren Faust just happened to line up the thoughts right. Perhaps maybe every show that’s animated or fantasy actually exists and the creators just get visions or something… That’d be pretty awesome.

I stare at the white and golden door in front of me that matches the walls and floors perfectly and then look down at my cuffs which happen to also be golden in color.

I understand why she put these cuffs on me. It makes sense really; I’m some unknown creature from some unknown world that might do unknown things. It’s kind of funny how rich this place looks though. This room alone could probably set me up for life if it was all real gold. At least in my old world it would. I keep forgetting I’m sitting here waiting for the freaking goddess of the sun to come through that door… And question me; fuck I forgot about that. What am I going to say? She will know if I say the truth or not so I guess I’ll try and ask her to not share the information to anyone. I mean I doubt that she won’t share it with at least her sister and maybe another major pony in command… I’d hope not twilight. I would get bombarded with even MORE questions from her long, long list of them.

I hear the door move open and look up to a slightly taller and even darker Luna than before.

I guess she didn’t stick around for her sister’s announcement at Ponyville. At least I’ll have some company now, sitting here is oh so boring even in a world like this.

“Hello there Princess Luna” I say with a smile.

Luna gives me a strange look and looks at me sideways a bit.

Oh right, I guess the magic that was translating me and them wore off huh?

I lift my hands and cuffs up and point at my throat and then my ears, then back at her. She wrinkles her brow and then raises them in understanding, lighting her horn up. I feel my throat and ears warm up a bit again and cough gently.

“Like I was saying, hello there Princess Luna” I smile once again along with what I say while trying to do a small bow in the small chair I was sitting in.

I probably failed at it but whatever, at least I tried right?

She smiles back and replies quite loudly “HELLO THERE DEVAN WHITNEY! I THANK THOU FOR REASSURING MY EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS DURING THE TRIP BACK TO CANTERLOT.”

I try to cover my ears with my cuffed and fail cringing at the loud nature of her voice, remembering that she spoke in the Royal Canterlot Voice tone for a bit in the beginning of the show.

“No problem Princess” I say still cringing and gaining my hearing back after a point blank blast of her strong and loud voice. I continue with, “You know, as I recall you didn’t use that voice back at the old castle we were in… You know you don’t have to use it with me around. It kind of hurts my ears anyways. If you don’t mind that is. Oh yeah, you can just call me Devan. My full name is a mouthful and plus it’s probably easier to say”

She looks at me with worry and nods gently, apparently trying to force herself not to use it again as she spoke. “I am sorry Devan Whit… Devan. I didn’t mean to hurt your ears; It’s just how I used to spoke in the past. It’s the traditional Royal Canterlot Voice. Something I grew up with since I was a foal… So long ago that was though, I suppose things must change over time. You may call me Luna if you wish, since you have allowed me to call you Devan.”

I sigh and nod softly, replying just as softly “It’s alright Luna, my ears should be fine after a little bit. So, what brings you here before your sister? Is there something you wanted to ask me first?”

She gets closer and looks me in the eyes curiously “How did you know about the Tantabus?”

I freeze up and start sweating slightly.

Shit, I forgot… I shouldn’t know that at all… Heck she probably didn’t even think about it until I just mentioned it! Fuck I’m an idiot… Alright is her horn glowing?

I look up at her horn and notice a deep but light blue color around her horn.

Well damn, looks like I have to tell the truth… I wanted to only tell Celestia but… I suppose the other Princess has a right to know.

“Alright, well the here’s the deal. I told Princess Celestia I would tell her how I knew she was royalty. The way I knew that is also the way I knew about the Tantabus. Would you mind waiting until Princess Celestia questions me? I wish to just tell both of you at once?” I say hesitantly hoping she would allow that at least.

She appears to be thinking for a second and sighs after her horn stops glowing.

“That is acceptable Devan. I suppose you wouldn’t want to waste your breath explaining the same thing twice right? We shall wait for my sister together then. May I ask more questions before my sis…“she begins to say but gets interrupted as her sister walks into the room with a hurry lighting her horn and analyzing the situation.

“Sister are you alright?” Celestia blurts out quickly, still unsure about what’s happening in the room.

Luna nods and looks at Celestia questioningly. Celestia then looks at me and then back at Luna and sighs after realizing we were just talking and that I was still cuffed.

“Sorry sister. I just can’t trust this one yet, we know nothing about him and I was worried…” she murmurs quietly while going up to her sister nuzzling her cheek with her own gently.

While watching this I can’t help but smile warmly at such affection and squee on the inside. Celestia looks up at me quickly and realizes I was watching this and begins to blush. I chuckle a bit at her lack of self-control when it comes to her sister.

Oh that’s just too cute. Wait, is she pouting a little bit? Hahahaha, wow! This is amazing!

She gets closer while still pouting. “Okay Devan Whitney, you’ve had your laugh. Now tell me how you knew I was royalty and seem to know some of our world considering you weren’t horrible surprised to see our kind.”

It begins.
