Meeting The Princesses

Awhile after I set my stuff up in my room in Twilight's castle, I sat down and sighed "Man, I hope the Princesses don't think of me as a monster or something like that..." I said looking down with a scared/scared look.

She scoffs. "Nah! They don't really worry about that unless it's an imediate threat, or a forseen war or battle." she said matter-as-factly.

"Are you sure about this? I'm like...REALLY scared! I'm used to people taking one look at me and running, because of my more adult-like apearence..."
I say tears starting to well up.

"Oh, please, do you really think that Celestia or Luna would do that? Besides, they face FAR worse than an apearence." she chuckled whilst shaking her head slightly. I start to feel a little calmer, especially since she's the one trying to convince me.

"I don't know...probably! I mean I look like an overgrown hairless ape..." I say trying to calm down a little.

"Listen, If I told the Princesses that you are friendly then they'll believe me. Do you trust me?" She said with a adorable buldgey-eyed look.

"Of course I trust you! I'm just new to the whole meeting royalty thing, I guess." I say putting my FOX hat on and sighing.

"Well, don't worry about it, besides I've already sent the letter an hour ago, so get ready...the chariot is going to--" a knock at the door cutting her off. "Oh, that must be them, c'mon!" she says noding towards the door.

"Are sure about this, Twi?" I asked as she rolled her eyes and dragged me out to the chariot.

"Oh, come on you big baby, this is Celestia and Luna we're talking about! They're the nicest ponies you'll ever meet!" she says getting a little annoyed.

"Okay Okay, let's go." I said sighing whilst sitting on the cushioned wood seat next to Twilight.

As we took off, I looked at the passing clouds and pegasai, looking depressed as usual, then Twilight scooted a little closer to me.
My heart started to flitter about and feel weightless.

"Listen, T-twilight...I, uh...I need to tell you something." I said as I turned to her.

"What is it Ian?" She asked completly oblivious to my feelings towards her.

"Well, you see...when we first met...I, I fell in love wi--" I was cut off by her lips locking with mine.

"I love you, too..." she said whith a little giggle.

"L-Let's just go inside and meet the Princesses" I say with a bit of fluster in my voice.

[15 minutes later; in the trone room]

As we went into the throne room, the Princesses were waiting for us with smiles that were warm enough to melt ice.

"Uhhh...H-hello princesses...." I said quietly, staring at the floor, nervous.

"No need to be nervous, young Ian." Celestia said with a warm, motherly voice that can put a baby to sleep without hassle.

I started to shake and tremble, then I felt a hoof grab my hand, somehow firming it's grip. I look over to my side to see Twilight looking at me with her hoof in my hand,
giving me more stability, I stop shaking and speak up.

"I see you've made a new friend, Ian?" Celestia said with a little giggle.

"Yes I have, you highness." I said looking at Twilight with a smile. She smiles back and nuzzles my hand. "Well, maybe she's more than JUST a friend...she's my marefriend!" I said beaming with happiness, something I haven't felt in a LONG time.

"Well, Well Twilight, you really have your work cut out for you" Luna said. Celestia just gave a small chuckle.

After talking with the Princesses for about an hour or two, we decided to go home, and rest for a while.

Once we took off again Twilight was leaning on my arm and I saw something in her eyes that made her seem more alive than when I saw her the first time.

"That was actually pretty fun, now that I think about it! They didn't discriminate me or show any kind of resentment towards me...they're very nice and welcoming!" I said in a sort-of-shocked state. "Can we come again sometime, Twi?" I asked cheerfully, with a bit of gleam in my eyes.

"Of course we can, Ian! Just ask me and I'll send a letter asking them if we can visit, or we can invite them to dinner here." She said with a little smile. "So, I don't mean to bug you about it or anything...but, how was your life back on Earth?" she asked quizzically.

"It was awful! I didn't have that many friends, nor did I like it there...everyone had their own clique, I didn't. And to top it all off my parents died in a house fire!" I said tears streaming down my cheeks. "But they left this behind." I said showing off my amulet. It had a red gem that looked like, believe it or not a flame.

"Wow! It's so pretty!" She says in awe. "M-may I?" She asked, waiting for a response.

I looked at her and smiled. "Sure go ahead, I don't mind!" I say happily, as she touches the gem. "It was the last thing my mother gave to me...I miss her, so much!" I said crying. The feeling of warmth enveloped me. As I look down I see Twilight has me in a deep embrace. I hug her in return.

"I love you, my sweet prince." she said, saddened by my story.
