The doors were large. Like bigger than normal sized doors. The magic of the guards told Cameron that most ponies couldn't open them with normal strength alone. The guards needed a special spell to open the door; it reminded him of those biometric locks back from his own world.

He walked though the massive halls that were at least 40 feet tall and hallways that were enough to have three people pass each other with relative ease, and most ponies were significantly smaller than that, as he learned from being in Rarity's room in which he had to crouch to get through the doors. He tried to keep her off his mind to avoid awkward moments between him and Celestia...if he could find her.

"Three doors down the left and then at the end of the hallway." He jumped as Celestia was walking next to him, "Oh, Sorry, you looked lost and in need of directions." She looked him over, "Certainly not in need for clothes at the moment."

"Oh, thanks...I got them from a shop in town."

"Rarity, I would take it. Twilight would be the one to set you up with a friend more than just and acquaintance."

He blushed, "She did do a good job at the whole thing. In an orderly time too."

"Is that why it took so long for you to leave?" She giggled at the red that seeped across his face.

"Well..."

"You don't need to explain. Your personal life is not for me to pry into." She opened the door to her personal study, "Here we go." She explained, "You will be working here."

Cameron looked around, "Here?"

"I was told that if I wanted to work off your debt, you were to work as a personal scribe for a few weeks."

He nodded, "Okay, what now?"

"Now-" she touches the stacks of paper that cluttered a small desk, "I finish this tonight for you to do tomorrow."

That made Cameron gulp.

--II--

"-And here's the Dinning Room." The guard said as he walked Cameron around the castle to get familiar with the layout.

"Cool."

A Pink mare in a crown noticed them walk in and walked towards them. She opened her wings a bit and replied, "Are you the human?"

Cameron nodded, "Cameron. Are you another princess?"

She tried to block the sight of the guard as she talked, "Yes. I am Princess Cadence, ruler of the Crystal Empire up north."

Cameron barely caught the sight of a stallion slowly crawl out from under the table to sneak out of the room, "What are you here for, then?"

"Well, since Celestia and her sister, Luna, are in control of Day and Night, respectively, each princess is keeper of a certain aspect. I am the Princess of Love."

"That sounds...vague..."

Cadence smiled, "I know, it's weird. But my most important job is maintaining order and civility during the upcoming festival...I'm sure you've noticed it."

He awkwardly replies, "A bit, yeah..."

The guard was then shooed off by Cadence, "I can show him around the rest of the castle..." She then walked him near the door the stallion ran out, "Every three years they do this whole festival for meeting a partner and having romantic connections. There's even this long list of weddings on the last day."

He nodded and then saw the stallion come out and join her, "Did he notice?"

"Not really."

He kissed her and ran off, his limp shaft bobbed between his legs. It didn't take a genius to infer what happened before the door opened, "I'll meet you back in the room!"

Cadence nodded, "See you, dear!" She looked back at him, "My husband, Shining Armor. I heard you met his sister at the hospital."

"Twilight?"

"Yeah, that's her Older Brother."

He nodded. "Neat."

She then leaned in, "He's also a pretty good lover~"

He interrupted by blushing and raising his voice slightly, "Neat! Thank you for telling me!"

She giggled, "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable..."

Cameron explained, "No...it's just that...sex is something super private where I'm from. It's so ingrained, I had to find clothes to wear to cover myself." He noted about the suit.

She nods, understanding, "Yeah...okay..." She then looked him over once more, "I'm going to guess that you lean more towards mares, right?"

Cameron is confused and blushing, "Um...I actually have a boyfriend back at home...but it doesn't mean I don't like girls, you know?"

She thought on the vernacular for a second and nodded, "Good. Most ponies here usually are bisexual until they finally shack up with another pony."

Cameron rubbed the back of his head, "About the tour-"

"You're good on that?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can navigate the palace already, and I can always ask a guard."

"Good." She responded, "I need to head off to a meeting about the festival. Dragon ambassador and even a few Sea ponies are coming by, and I have to monitor their stay...thankfully we don't have the gryphons coming this year. We had a bit of a scandal last festival when the dignitary was caught going balls-deep in a male stripper." She waved and headed off. She did that thing that Twilight did with her tail, showing bits of her vagina to him, he took it in and memorized the look of it for later, "See you at the festival?"

He nods and then looked around the dining area as she left the room. It was neatly set up. He thought back to a time in his life when he would playfully anger his boyfriend by messing with his OCD and the nights of cuddling together on the porch of his old house.

Cameron moved a single fork out of place with a sad smile on his face.

Still no art, and I'm starting to think that I'll never find the right one.
