The Factions of Equestria

The next day...

Oh, man! Today's the day I might actually meet my waifu! Holy shit, SOMEBODY pinch me! I must be dreaming...

Luke suddenly gets pinched in the arm.

"Ouch!" Luke said, rubbing the spot.

"You looked like you were daydreaming, so I figured I should help snap you out of it." Michael said, grinning.

"Did you have to pinch me THAT hard?"

"No...but I chose to anyways."

They shared a laugh and fist bumped each other.

"You excited?" Michael asked.

"Yeah!" Luke responded.

"Jack seems to like you. He says that he sees potential in you."

"How so?"

"Don't tell him I told you this, but he says that he liked how you stopped conflict quickly and with no questions asked. Maybe he thinks you are obedient."

"I try."

"Well, Princess Twilight is coming in twenty minutes. I recommend you finish preparing yourself in ten minutes. Jack wants his constables to be in formation when Princess Twilight arrives. You know, to look professional."

"That's true. First impressions are important."

"Well, this isn't exactly the fi-"

"Michael! She's arriving early! She will be here in five minutes! Come outside and get in formation!" A fellow constable came in and alerted the two.

"Oh shit! Gotta go! Come quickly, Luke." Michael said before going out the door.

Luke tightened the straps on his metal plate vests, making it stay flat on his chest. He then rolled up the blue sleeves on his dress shirt so the sleeves wouldn't get in the way of his hands. Luke then tied the laces on his boots before looking at himself in the mirror. He aimed his pistol at the mirror, posing. "Do ya feel lucky, punk?" Luke said to his reflection. He then laughed and put the pistol in his holster before going outside and into the courtyard.

Outside, people seemed busy. The citizens were standing in front of their homes, the guards in the watch towers were scanning the sky, and the constables were grabbing shotguns from off a table. It was at this point when Luke noticed the main difference between the citizens, and the constables. The citizens wore casual clothing, while the constables wore jeans, a blue dress shirt, the metal vest, and boots.

"Luke!" Michael said as he ran to Luke, carrying two pump shotguns.

"Hey, Michael. What's with the guns?" Luke asked his friend.

"Jack ordered me to give this to you," Michael said as he handed Luke a Mossberg 500 pump shotgun, "Careful, it's already loaded."

"Woah, is this really necessary?"

"This is mainly to show professionalism, but we also want to be prepared for an invasion from the FTP clan."

"Oh, I get it."

"Yeah. Now, I doubt that there actually will be an attack...but just in case, here is a few extra shells." Michael said as he gave a handful of 12 gauge rounds to Luke.

"She's here! Open the gates!" One of the guards in the watch tower yelled to the rest of the compound.

Luke and the rest of the constables got in an organized formation. They stood in the middle of the courtyard in a 5x5 square, with Jack in the front. He was fifteen feet away from the formation, and waiting patiently. Luke and Michael were in the back of the formation, their shotguns on their shoulders.

Luke's heart was racing with excitement. He never thought that he would ever have the chance to meet his favorite pony. A smile formed over his face, and he couldn't be happier. Nothing could possibly ruin this! Luke thought to himself. Suddenly, the large wooden doors opened. Luke resisted the urge to let out a fangirl squeal. Stay professional, Luke. Stay professional. Two royal guards marched in, and stood near the doorway. Finally, the Princess of Friendship herself entered the compound. Luke's heart was beating like a piston now. He took a moment to admire the shine in her mane as it moved in the sun, her big majestic purple eyes, and the way her mane matches her tail. She really looked more beautiful in person than she did in the show.

The citizens bowed to her. The constables saluted, Luke included.

"Twilight!" Jack said happily.

"Jackie!" Twilight responded happily.

"Jackie?" Luke thought. Why did she call him-

His thoughts, and all his thinking stopped when Jack kneeled...and was sharing a passionate kiss with Twilight...
