Arianna

It's been about three months since my daughter and I reconciled and things have been good I'd say. We both see a physiologist to help with our underlying problems and Midge has come to love Ari as her mother. She told me the other day that she actually feels loved again. At the moment Midge was helping Ari with court while I'm running for my life from a certain alabaster mare. I'm still trying to figure out how she found out I took the last piece of chocolate cake though.

"VATORE GET BACK HERE YOU CAKE THIEF!!" Uh oh! I better find a place to hide. Without thinking, I made for the throne room in the hope that Ari would get Tia to calm down. I hope anyways.

Running up to the doors, I had to wait for the guards to open said doors and I knew Celestia was catching up to me.

"VATORE! WHEN I FIND YOU. I WILL BANISH YOU TO MY SUN FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!" Looking at the guards, I got a smirk from the unicorn of the pair.

"You got the last piece of cake didn't you?"

"Yes. I didn't think she would get so worked up over it though." Both started giggling when I admitted it.

"After a year, you still haven't learned yet? Don't mess with PC's cake. What kind was it anyway?"

"Chocolate." Both gained a look of horror.

"Your dead. That's her favorite and will not share it with anypony."

"I guess it'll be a fight between us since that's the only kind of cake I like. Now, if you would excuse me, Ima gonna go and use my daughter and future bride as shields" I explained walking as fast as I could towards the thrones. Ignoring the stares and looks I was getting, I climbed the dias and plopped down onto Tia's throne. Ari was giving me that 'I know what you did' smirk.

"What" I innocently asked.

"You think that I'm going to allow you to waltz in here and use us a shields?"

"Hmmmm, yes because you love me" I said smirking.

"I'm not crazy enough to get between Tia and cake Tor and I'm not protecting you either."

"I was kinda hoping you could calm her down" I asked sheepishly while looking towards the doors.

"What's the worst she'll do to daddy, mom?"

"Banish him to the sun." Ari answered nonchalantly.

"Ouch" my daughter squeaked. "Sorry daddy, but I'm not getting in the middle of this" Midge said grinning.

"Ingrates, this is the thanks I get for being a good father and mate?"

"Nooo. This is what you get for taking the last piece of chocolate cake, my love" Ari said snickering. Of course right about that time the throne room doors was, well I should say ripped off of their hinges by a irate alicorn.

"FOUND YOU!" I paled instantly and scrambled to get out through one of the back doors, but I found myself caught in the golden glow of Celestia's magic. When I was pulled in front of her, I could see flickers of fire dancing in her mane. I gave Tia my best smile of innocence and did a little finger wave.

"H..hi Tia! Nice weather we're having....right?" She snorted and her rose tinted eyes went to blazing red while she narrowed them. "I feel the need to remind you that I'm human and don't possess magic like the rest of you." She smirked before looking at Ari then back to me.

"The bond you share with sister Ari is strong enough to keep you alive" she said, her grin growing wider. Now, I wasn't just floating there waiting on my doom. I had been wiggling around seeing what my limits where and trying to come up with a escape plan. Right before she finished speaking, I came up with something so fucking stupid that it just had to work. So, before she could send me to the sun, I shot my hands towards her face, each hand on a cheek and pulled myself towards her and did the last thing anyone expected. I gave her the biggest, most slobbered out kiss I could manage and I'll be damned if it didn't work. Celestia instantly froze while her magical hold on me broke. I dropped landing on my feet and took off before she could come to her senses.

Arianna's pov

I knew he was going to pull something stupid and low and behold he did. He kissed Tia like a fifteen year old colt would in his first try....AND IT WORKED. How in the nine circles of Tartarus can he pull stunts like that and still be alive. I watched Tia freeze stiff and drop Tor. When he landed he took off like he had a timberwolf pack on him. Of course, he just had to stop at the throne room doors turn to me and throw a wink my way before running off. When I looked at Tia, the expression on her muzzle was perfect. Her eyes was wide open, a absolute look of astonishment on her muzzle, with her head tilted to the side a little. Upon seeing that, I did the only sensible thing I could. I fell off my throne laughing my flank off.

Vatore's pov

As I hoofed it, he he hoofed it, away from the throne room. I could hear Ari's laughter echoing through the halls. I'm glad she's enjoying it. Now I just have to worry about her being pissed at me for kissing Celestia I though to myself. I was trying to thi k of a good place to hide so I wouldn't suffer the wrath of two alicorns. I thought about asking Luna, but she was still asleep and there is no way in hell that I'm going to tempt fate on that. She's still mad at me for nabbing a couple of her moon pies a month ago.

I had just looked behind me to make sure I was clear, when I heard a shriek in front of me and was thrown into the wall next to me. As I was trying to clear my head, the most pompous sounding mare I've ever heard started yelling.

"WHAT MANNER OF DISGUSTING CREATURE TRIED TO RUN INTO ME. GUARDS, SEIZE IT!" When I was pulled to my feet, my eyes stopped rolling enough to see a white unicorn mare with a blond mane and tail staring daggers at me. Still somewhat groggy, I said the first thing that came to mind as I'm want to.

"Who the fuck are you?" The mare went from looking at me like some kind of lower lifeform to absolutely sneering at me.

"I am Princess Bluebelle. Niece to Princesses Celestia, Luna and Arianna and you just assaulted my royal self. For that you shall be punished and since you appear to be male, the punishment is to be gelded."

"WHAT?!?!"
