The Fakeicorn

Chapter 5

Costume Expertise and Unwanted Feelings

-The Next Day-

My eyes open up to a single beam of sunlight that got through the blinds and immediately hits my eyes, great first thoughts to wake up too. I feel something warm rubbing against me, so I turn part of my body around and I'm met with the sleeping face of Lunar Star, oh right she actually slept with me in my bed. She's slightly snoring with her mouth open and her tongue was rolling out. But what was more scary was that she was sorta sleep grinding on me, ugh...these guards ain't doing shit for guarding me. What should I do? Should I move? Should I wake her up? Ugh why is this happening to me? I let out a very very small groan and float my phone over to me. Magic is kinda like a third hand for me, but I guess it would have its uses for me. It's about 8:45 in the morning and I'm pretty sure Angel will be coming by soon to switch out positions with Star. Wait...yep there's the knock! I called it!

The door opens and aww shit Twilight and Angel both walk in to, I guess wake me up but see me and Star in the same bed and Angel just looks...shocked and upset, and holy shit she's actually wearing a helmet."LUNAR STAR! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED THIS INSTANT!" Angel fucking manhandles Star, who wakes up slightly after getting yelled at, and thrown onto the floor rather hard.

"AGH! FUCK I'M UP, I'M UP!" She shrieks. Angel just throws Star's dark blue Lunar Guard armor at her.

"You stupid mare! Sleeping with your dignitary ON THE JOB! I should beat your ass before reporting you to our superiors!" Okay I better do something before someone loses some teeth. I jump up out of bed and get between Angel and Star, the latter struggling to put her armor on.

"She was tired as hell last night! Nothing but sweet blissful sleep happened!" I look at Twilight for any help but she just looks stunned, you're no help Twi! Angel still looks like she's gonna beat Star's ass but she's looking at me too, fuck."Look! I didn't sleep with her like that! Only sleep, like actual sleep. So stand down!" I actually shove Angel away from Star as she gets her armor on and then hauls ass out of my room. Fucking hell, good morning!

"What the fuck is your problem Angel? Look it won't happen again if its that's important to you." I let out a long sigh."But anyway, good morning. What's on the agenda for today?" I yawn and stretch a bit, and almost fall on my own hooves. Twilight clears her throat, finally her brain restarts.

"Well we were going to go to Rarity's Boutique in Ponyville. I hope you have a costume idea in mind that is appropriate for the party. We're leaving at 9:30." Well that's slightly convenient."I'll come back in a few to come get you two, so...uh be ready." With that Twilight leaves me with Angel, fucking hell. I look over at Angel who picked up the lamp,

which must have been knocked over by Star when she was thrown. I let out a sigh and start making the bed, my mamma taught me well.

"Look Angel, I'm sorry about letting Star sleep in my bed with me. But was fucking throwing her out of the bed the right thing to do?" I hear Angel walking up behind me, and then I hear the sound of armor being removed.

I turn around and Angel is literally only an inch from my face. Her deep blue eyes are staring me right into my soul. Her mustard yellow mane is slightly messy."Are...are you expecting a kiss darling?" I try to break the awkward silence. Angel starts to actually stroke my cheek with her hoof, help me?

"Maybe I am," She gets even closer to me, I can feel her own hot breath on my lips,"I still don't like you much, but I will not lie that I do like...what you have." She actually grabs my...my fucking junk.

"I'll hold off for now. But if I ever see you with Lunar Star again...I'm going to make it less enjoyable for you." She fucking squeezes my junk once more before letting go. Angel leans in real quick and steals a kiss from me before backing away and puts her helmet back on. I can only stand there dumbfounded and trying to process what the fuck just happened...

These guards ain't guarding shit for me...

-One Hour Later-

I haven't been on a train since I was a kid and damn do I feel I like a kid again. The train actually goes through the mountain! How cool is that!? I'm sitting next Angel, who actually is freaking me out on how calm she is after that...thing back in my room. She's just...just reading a book while the train is going down the mountain. Okay I'm going to be extremely honest, I was kind of into that...domination. I'm just a weird fucking person honestly. Twilight seems to just look..I dunno bored or tired. Why hasn't she gone back to Ponyville after I woke up? I'm bored honestly so I just pull out my phone from the hoodie I'm wearing, its a nice navy blue color like myself, and start watching some of my saved videos I have on the SD card. Most of them are just stupid people getting hurt.

Pretty soon the train pulls up at the Ponyville station and we get off. I still can't shake the feeling I am being watched, and I have good reason to as a crazy cult is after me. We start walking around the Ponyville market, looking for something I guess. I'm just glad that my hoodie covers up my wings so no one will start mobbing me for stuff. Hey there's Applejack!

"Well howdy there Twilight. And howdy to ya too Kyra. What brings ya three around Ponyville today?" She manning the apple stand here in the market. Juicy looking apples, and I'm not talking about Applejack's ass.

"We're just here to see Rarity today. How goes the apple business going today?" Twilight gives her a hug, wing hugs are great honestly.

"It's going pretty fine, Twi. Hope y'all have a good time with Rarity today. Ah gotta get back to work."

With that we leave the market and head to Rarity's shop. The Carousel Boutique, such an odd name. Angel walks extra close to me and that makes me more uncomfortable than being watched by the creepy cult thing, and Angel knows this! She's doing this to spite me for the whole 'Letting Star sleep in my bed with me'. We finally reach Rarity's place and Twilight knocks on the door. A few seconds later Rarity opens the door and gasps.

"Ahh Twilight its so good to see you again!" Rarity gives her a hug. She sees me and gives me a hug too. I'll give hugs if I'm given one first."And it's great to see you again Kyra." She looks at Angel and greets her."And who might you be Miss?"

"Angelic Shield. Kyra's personal bodyguard. You must be Rarity correct?" Angel gives Rarity a hoofshake and Rarity invites us inside. Its very fashionable and luxurious in here. Of course it is."Please have a seat everypony. I'll put some tea on. We have to catch up!" Rarity disappears into a different room as we take a seat on this large red futon. Angel of course, makes sure to sit right next to me, and very softly rubs one of her hooves on my leg. I'm the only one who's sitting like a human, the instinct still thrives in this one.

A few minutes later Rarity comes back with four cups of hot tea floating next to her. She gives each of us one and takes a seat in her own sofa."So how has things been going in Canterlot?"

"Its been mostly uneventful till yesterday." Twilight sighs."A group called the Society is spying on Kyra in order to convert him into their ranks." Rarity looks pretty shocked.

"That's awful! Why would they have any need for him? No offense Kyra." Rarity apologizes and I just shrug.

"Doesn't matter honestly. But I was invited to a costume party on Friday. Hosted by Sketchbook at the Canterlot Art Museum." Rarity springs up like a little kid.

"Sketchbook!? Famed new Artist Sketchbook!?" I nod and she gasps in excitement."AHH I'm jealous of you now! So I assume you're here for a costume then?"

"Yep we are. Angel is getting a costume too." I internally groan as I already know she's going to try to fuck with me during this time. Rarity immediately springs into action just like a light switch.

"We have to get started! Do you two have any ideas or are we planning from scratch?" Angel and I both pull out the folder of pictures and sketches, well by sketches I mean drawings that we attempted this morning. I can't draw much but I did get a lot of pictures from the game Prey itself. Rarity looks over the pictures for both of us and while Rarity is looking over them, Angel starts rubbing my fucking leg again. Would it be wrong to smack my bodyguard? Because I'm really close to out right smack her upside the head.

"Well Angelic Shield, you're design for this dress is very pretty. Its the easier one to make that's for sure. But Kyra, yours may be a challenge, and when it comes to fashion, I love a good challenge. Now do you want the helmet and...I'm not sure what that is, a backpack? But anyway do you want those too or just the suit?"

"Just the suit. Now I'm hoping you can it somewhat slimming and snug?"

"Of course darling of course. Now do you two want different colors?"

"No white is fine for me." Angel says.

"Keep the colors the same but change the nametag from M. Yu to Z. Kyra, if you can." Rarity nods vigorously.

"Of course! Now who wants to go first for measurements? Kyra? Yours will take longer, so I figured you could go first." I shrug and Rarity jumps up off her seat and leads me into a mirrored room with a few changing rakes. Are cloths in Equestria that demanding?"Okay can you take off your hoodie for me?" I nod and take it off. My wings pop out, finally free from being covered up.

"Also one more thing Rarity about the costume. I need it to hide my wings."

"I can do that! Now just stay still while I measure you." With that Rarity starts her work. I admire her determination on wanting to make costume."So how much is this gonna cost me?" I ask trying to break the silence.

"Oh nothing dear. Anything for a friend!"

"You sure? Because I can get the money if you need it."

"No darling its quite alright. Besides Nightmare Night is coming up so its no trouble at all. I'll be busy enough that everything will even out in the end. Okay can you turn around please?" I nod and turn around and Rarity takes the measurements of my back legs and thighs. My mind can't help but flashback to what Angel did earlier. Was she in heat or something? Maybe...maybe I should talk to someone about it. Doesn't Rarity delve into romance?

"Hey Rarity can I ask you something kinda private? More or less, can you keep a secret?"

"Ask away dear, I won't tell a soul."

"I...I honestly think Angelic Shield and my other bodyguard Lunar Star are coming onto me, like sexually. I've only known them for about 4 days now and already Star has slept in my bed with me, nothing happened mind you. Then Angel pretty much told me she wants to do it but not now. Star said the same thing." I groan a bit, the situation giving me a headache slightly.

"Oh my a steamy romance that isn't appropriate between guards and their protection! I promise not to tell a soul Kyra. Now when did this all start? Was it an accidental look? An accidental kiss?"

"Uhh not really. I'm not sure honestly. Star was kind of the one to start it off by being very very casual to me. But then last night she slept in my bed with me like I said, so its obvious that she wants me like that. Angel, that's a completely other story. She still says she hates me but then she grabs my junk and kisses me so I'm getting mixed signals from her. I don't know what to do." Rarity finishes her measuring thing and walks over to write stuff down on a notebook.

"Well I must say darling that first off, you're a lot slimmer than I expected you to be, which is good. Second off, you're not the first pony to come to me with relationship problems. But the advice I'd give you is to follow your heart. If you think its okay to have a relationship with them, then go for it."

"Alright, thanks Rarity."

"Think nothing of it darling. Just part of my job."

-4 Hours Later-

Jesus Christ we've been here for almost four hours! After I got done with my measurements, Rarity brought Angel back to measure her. After that Rarity set to work making the actual costumes. Mine would obviously take the longest but I expected us to be able to leave and walk around some. Shit this is my first trip to Ponyville and I wanted to go over to Sugarcube Corner and have something to eat. But nope, Angel doesn't want to leave and Twilight is worried that I my be attacked, so no Sugarcube Corner and no Ice Cream! I'm still pissed about that honestly. I can only sit her and pout while playing on my phone while Rarity works. Angel is of course sitting next to me, but surprisingly she's watch the videos with me rather than try to tease me. I'm still kind of nervous around her, okay first off she's really fit and could hold her
own against me, and second off if that did happen, I honestly wouldn't fight back.

"Why are humans always doing stupid shit?" Angel chuckles after seeing that one video where the dude rides a bike into a highway sign.

"Because we have nothing better to do. That or they REALLY like getting hurt." I chuckle then my phone dies, forgot to charge it."Aww dammit. Phone's dead and I didn't think of bringing a charger." Angel grabs my phone from my hooves and looks at it. She then proceeds to pull out a bound up charger from one of her armor pockets, things I'm still learning.

"Here. I always carry around a spare charger, and luckily your phone is the same as mine." She gives me the charger and I look for an outlet to plug it in at. Thankfully thee's one near by so I go over and plug my phone in. Sitting back down I realize Twilight is gone and its just Angel and I, great. But honestly I'm going to just set the record straight now.

"Why do you hate me? For accidentally dropping half a house on you? Actually on second thought, that would be a valid reason to hate someone." I just realized that if someone tried that on me I would be pissed too. I look over at Angel who lets out a sigh.

"Its not that I actually hate, HATE you, just more or less I'm trying to use you to get a promotion." Eh I'm honestly not surprised someone would take advantage of me like that.

"Alright point taken. So I guess Lunar Star is the Good Cop and you're the Bad Cop then?"

"Sorta. Look I've been trying to get promoted for a while now. Long before you even showed up. I want to become Captain of my Barracks and I've been stressed to shit about it for a while too. When you showed up and nearly killed me and Ice Cutter that night, I kind of realized how stressed I actually was. And it reached a boiling point when we first met. But after that outburst Celestia wanted me to de-stress by taking a simple guarding duty, guarding you."

"So its more about worry and stress rather than actually wanting to strangle me?"

"Yeah pretty much." Angel lets out a dry chuckle. So stress is really the cause of this blind hatred but that still doesn't explain something."Then what about all of the...sex stuff? You grabbing my dingdong and kissing me? And throwing Star out of bed this morning? Which was pretty funny honestly."

"Oh that stuff? That was more or less acting. After Rainbow Dash blabbed about your weird collection I was trying to figure out a way to subtly get back at you, without hurting you. Then seeing Lunar Star, who is usually like that anyway with almost anypony, I decided to play the act of a jealous mare fighting over a stallion. Plus you're really easy to embarrass." Wow, not words could describe my relief.

"That was all acting?"

"Yeah, pretty convincing huh?"

"You ain't kidding. I'm either just really gullible or you've really got some talent with it." I chuckle.

"Actually its a bit of both. You can thank method acting classes in High School. But you can be pretty gullible at times. But all jokes aside, to be honest, you're not that bad of a guy. Maybe a bit fucked in the head but you do genuinely care which is a very good trait for any stallion to have. Especially considering how unforgiving most of the nobles are these days." Both of us chuckle.

"But what about Star? Was she on this too or was that just icing on the cake?"

"Icing mostly. But she should know better than to sleep on the job, nor with the dignitary. But it was funny to see her freak out this morning." Heheh she is right that it was funny to see Star freak out this morning. I'm at least glad that Angel isn't trying to kill me, or hate me. Twilight along with Rarity walk into the waiting area that we were sitting at.

"Well that was fun! I'm finally done with your costumes. Would you like to come and see them?" We both nod vigorously and Rarity leads us back to a room where two ponyquins stand tall in and wearing our costumes. Damn she's fucking quick! The TranStar costume looks genuine like Morgan's from the game! Down to every detail. And looking at Angel's costume, its white with frills. Honestly I don't know what a flapper dress looks like all that well.

"Wow, you have no clue how cool this looks!" I gush, hey I love video games okay.

"Yes it looks amazing!" Angel gasps. Rarity seems to be gleam with pride.

"Why thank you! I'm glad when ponies love my work. Now I'd like you two to try them on to make sure the seams will hold and that they will fit." Both Angel and I look at each other and shrug. Dress up sounds better than nothing! Rarity leads us to some changing rooms and we both enter one. Okay so how the hell do I put this on? Lets see there's a zipper. I unzip the very back of the suit and stick my head through the metal neck loop and start putting my hooves in each leg hole. I fold my wings as tight as I can and use the little magic I can to zip the suit up tight and I look myself in the mirror. Damn this thing is snug and my wings don't show at all! Everything is kind of tight, especially around my hindlegs, thighs, and my genital area, sadlly. I walk back out to show off my new costume, I feel good.

"Well? What do you think?" I show off my body in a slightly suggestive way. Twilight seems kind of flustered, as does Rarity.

"Well it seems that it fits you well," Rarity starts."Maybe a bit...'too' well." That last part is as soft as a mutter.

"You look Kyra. And good thing that your wings don't show, even through the suit." Twilight comments. Just then Angel walks out and...and Jesus she looks, gorgeous. Even for an outfit from the 20s, she made it work very well.

"How do I look?" She strikes a pose.

"If I answered that, I think I'd break the seams of this suit." Honestly part of this is truthful. Angel actually blushes a bit and Rarity steps up.

"I think you look gorgeous darling! A bit of makeup and you'll drop every stallion near you!"

She's already dropping me, fuck am I that corny and basic?

-That Night-

I've taken it upon myself to look out of one of the balconies at the Castle. I've always slightly enjoyed starlight gazing. Something that's actually peaceful and doesn't require much energy to watch the stars twinkle in the night sky. I'm usually a night time person anyway."Enjoying our night are we?" I look behind me to see Princess Luna approaching me. I've actually been alone as Lunar Star didn't show up tonight, she may be in trouble.

"I am. Greetings Luna. Its been a while since we've spoken." I greet her with a slight bow, I can be polite when I need too.

"Greetings to you too Kyra. We are pleased that you enjoy our night. We put much work into it despite most ponies take it for granted nowadays." Luna sits down next to me and we look up together."We were hoping to speak to you tonight." Kind of figured that considering you're here.

"I'm sorry to hear that Luna. What was it you needed to talk about?" I do yawn a bit.

"It would be about your assigned guard, Lunar Star. We received word that she has been acting rather...provocative towards
you and we would like to apologize for her unappropriate behavior. She will be relived of her duties guarding you." Fuck, honestly I didn't mind her behavior but she's getting demoted.

"Princess Luna, with all due respect, I don't think that's necessary. I honestly don't mind her behavior. Its nice to talk to a guard that isn't all stuck up."

"We understand this but attempted sexual relations on the job between anypony is prohibited! She is luck she is not being fired from the Royal Guard." I let out a sigh.

"Once again I object to this. I enjoyed her company, plus she is still accompanying me to the party Friday. I need everyone I can get." Luna is silent and I think she is contemplating on what I said. Truth be told this wouldn't be the first time I've had to fight for someone's job. Working a few jobs of my own I've had to be Judge, Jury, and Executioner in some places.

"This is a difficult decision to make Kyra. These kind of situations are not taken lightly. Despite what some parts of Equestria seem, here in Canterlot, its quite a taboo topic among nobles. Might we ask why you feel so strongly about defending her?"

"Eh I like having her around. She's smart and shares some of my hobbies such as gaming and drinking." I shrug. Luna actually giggles a bit at that, why?

"Your friendship with her is great. And speaking of video games, we were hoping to get your gamertag for some multiplayer gaming sometime." Shit Luna, Princess Luna wants to play video games with me? I guess that headcannon is true at least.

"Sure let me right that down for you. But please give Lunar Star another chance. She's not that bad and trust me, I've been around worst people, err ponies." I write down my gamertag and give it to Luna.

"We will consider it. Thank you for leading your ear to us."

"Think nothing of it, Luna. Think nothing of it."

-2 Days Later-

Things have gone surprisingly good in the past two days. Magic practice is still underway and I'm getting slightly better, but I'm still only good for light levitation. I've actually started flight training with Rainbow Dash, which is about as good as it sounds. I can barely keep my wings flapping fast enough to keep myself upright. Preening is something new that I never thought I would ever have to learn but I guess wing health is very important. Plus Dash wouldn't stop fucking joking with me so I'd tend to ignore her during some of it.

My relationship with Angelic Shield has gotten better. I'm still being guarded, although now I'm allowed to wander the halls without a guard during certain times. But we're actually talking rather than glaring at each other. Its nice actually, not thinking that I've pissed off the wrong pony. Lunar Star came back and she was ever so grateful that I convinced Luna to keep Star as my guard. We celebrated my victory by playing video games and drinking the night away. This seem nice. I've actually started talking to Ice Cutter some more. He's an interesting guy, pretty laid back, yet still passionate about his job as a scribe. We've even shared lunch together. We've got some good stories to share and all is well so far. But my mind has begun to wander.

I fear that I'm losing it. I haven't been here a full month and I'm already adjusting very well, but I'm worried I'm losing my humanity. My body is new but my mind should be human still. Yes I may have a slight attraction to ponies, stemming from just my own weird and unusual kinks and fetishes, but in reality I should just accept my fate so suddenly. Ugh my mind is just a jumbled mess. But my concern is my two..well three friends. Something about each of them seems to match my personality, perhaps some signs of narcissism?

Then there is the whole cult thing. I don't know where to start with it. My main concern is that I could be killed by them if I don't play to their toon. Paranoia may be my new friend too, ugh this is gonna give me a headache. There's a knock on the door."Come in." The door opens and Angel walks in. She's still dressed in her armor but she did, towards the end of her shifts, dress up in her costume for me, and Star. She likes to show off, which is fine. But she looks happy today, like really happy. A big nice smile and a sort of aura of good vibes around her.

"Hey you missed breakfast." She sits down at one of the chairs near the bed.

"Yeah I know. I've just...got a lot on my mind right now." I say and glance at the clock, which reads 9:45 am.

"I know that tone. You've caught my stress it seems." That causes me to chuckle.

"No its more like I've been stressed and it just so happened to strike today. But you look happy."

"Yeah. After we talked a few days ago I finally talked to Princess Celestia, who listened to my slightly stupid issue. But she said it was important for everypony working as a guard to be healthy both mentally and physically." I nod my head and she continues."So she told me to take today off."

"Well lucky you. So who's gonna guard me today then? Cuz Star is asleep right now and I don't think Ice Cutter is guard material." I scratch the back of my head.

"Heh I figured this would come up. So aside from being told to take the day off, Celestia asked me about how our relationship as guard and dignitary, is going. After Star's fuck up a few days ago, Celestia wanted to know if there was anything...going on between us. I told her some things and asked if it was possible to get you out of the castle for a while, because you're pretty cooped up in here. Celestia thought it was a good idea for you to mingle with the public to dispute any, rumors about you." Okay I have a bad feeling about this.

"So what does this mean?"

"Pack your bags for the day, because you and I are going on a date!"

A DATE!?!?

Author's Note

I hope this isn't too rushed with character development and the romance.
