That moment you realize you're awake.

6- That moment when a photo of you makes front page.

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I woke up while it was still dark. I found I was beneath Celestia's wing. Her tail was wrapped around me too. I gently scooted out from under her and stood by the bed. I was amazed she could have slept in that position. Laying on her belly, with her head laying on one of the pillow at the head of the bed. I lit my horn up and navigated my way out of the room. Gently opening the door and quietly closing it.

I carefully walked down the steps of the carpeted stairs. I opened the front door and peaked my head out to see if the local paper had been delivered. I was pleasantly surprised to find two news papers waiting. One was the Canterlot Times and another was the Ponyvile Express. I took in both. I went into the living room and hopped up on the couch and unwrapped the Canterlot Times first. I saw the large picture on the front page.

It was the picture Celestia and I had posed for two days ago. The one the photographer on the bench had taken. I began reading the article.

PRINCESS AND MASTER COMEDIAN,COUPLE?

Princess Celestia was spotted making out with Master Comedian: Seethe Master. Neither one appeared intoxicated, as Seethe Master is known to be when performing activities such as this.

Wait. Was that an insult on my part? Saying I'm only romantic when I'm drunk?!

I ignored it and continued onward.

After taking the photo displayed above, we asked around and got opinions from members of the Canterlot community.

One gentercolt said: "I think it's rather nice that someone as important as Princess Celestia can couple with someone as silly as Seethe Master."

One member of Seethe Master's fan club had this to say: "I think its SUPER DUPER AWESOME that Seethy got himself some action from a Princess, he really does deserve it since he spends all his time entertaining others at his own expense."

A castle guard also had an opinion on the matter:  "I saw them on my shift in the caste and later me and some of my friends tried to imagine what the foals would look like. I mean imagine this: A bunch of magically gifted, comedic, Alicorns!"

I set aside the Canterlot Times and picked up the Ponyvile Express. Their front cover was.............different.

It wasn't the photo the Canterlot Times used.

It was appeared to have been taken as soon as Celestia and I had fallen asleep just last night! Celestia had her wing over me and her tail around me. I appeared to be drooling on the bed.

I heard the stairs creak as somepony walked down them. Within a few seconds I saw my father at the base of the stairs.

"Dad!" I exclaimed a little bit upset somepony had gotten a picture of Celestia and myself in the privacy of my parents home.

"Wha!!" He nearly screamed shocked because I sounded angry.

I burst up from the couch. The Ponyvile Express followed in mid air.

"Wha-what are you doing up Seethe?"

"Reading the morning paper! And guess what's on the front page!" I scolded just about shoving the paper up his nose.

"Whoa, whoa, calm down......hey wait.....thats the picture your mom took before she took a bit of the left over chowder to our neighbors." Dad explained.

"Did she take the photo with her?" I asked calming down now that I understood it wasn't some stange pony that had just waltzed in to the home and begun snapping photos of the Princess and I.

"She took the camera to one of her friends who had the equipment to develop the photos on the film." Dad explained. "I think she's a reporter....or........oh my....."

"Okay.....that explains how the Ponyvile express got a photo from inside this house: Mom took it."  I said calm again.

"I wonder if anypony else has had a chance to see it." Dad said. "It's still pretty early." .

A light shown in through the window as the dawn sun pierced the horizon like a distant fire ball soaring into the sky.

"I guess Celestia is awake." I said to Dad.

Moments later Celestia came down the stairs. "Seethe?" She asked poking her head into the kitchen.

"Living room." I called to her. She turned around.

"How long have you been up?" She asked

" 'few minutes. Look what got to the paper." I said levitating the Ponyvile Express to her.

She made a face "Who took this photo?" she asked.

"My mom." I said.

"Does she work for the news paper?" Celestia asked.

"No, but her friend does." I said.

"What is that headline? 'Comedian meets cuddling Princess' " she read aloud.

"Well that's the second front page picture we've had." I said.

"Yes and this one isn't posed."  She said.


The Ponyvile Express was founded the year before I was born. The founder had one dream. To make an honest news paper that only told the facts and told everypony what they wanted to hear. A few years ago they added a scientific knowledge section, ever since then Twilight Sparkle has had a copy delivered to her every day.

Today would be a shocking addition for her. Before going to the science section, she's always check the headlines. And with 'The cuddling Princess' on the front cover, her morning would most likely end in extreme shock. She had just woken up when the sun swept over the horizon. She had gotten out of bed and made coffee. Coffee floating as it followed her, she went down the library stairs and to the front door.  When she opened the front door she saw the Ponyvile Express laying and waiting, rolled up.

She lifted it with magic and carried it inside. She closed the door behind her and then took a seat in between two book cases. She unrolled the news paper and after a few seconds of dazed brain processing, she realized she was holding the paper upside-down. She flipped it over and saw the head line.

Comedian meets cuddling Princess!

She was caught off guard by the headline. At first she thought she was looking at a comic in the comic section. Then.....she realized it was real. She looked at the picture and her still awaking brain processed it slowly.  She soon realized, it was a picture of her mentor, Princess Celestia, and some stallion (me) in bed. Celestia's wing was covering the stallion and her tail was wrapped around what her wing couldn't cover.

Her eyes widened upon reading a foot note, beneath the photo.

Seethe Master and his new lover (Princess Celestia) in bed together.

She let out an ear piercing scream "WHAAAAAAAAT?!"

There was a knock on her front door and voice came through. "Twilight? Are you okay? Do you need help?" Princess Celestia's voice said through the door. Twilight took the paper with her as she walked to the door. She opened it and stood face to face with the princess and I.

"Pri-princess..." she nearly whispered.

"From the scream and the absence of a news paper on your door step, may I assume you read the paper?" I asked.

"Yes, I-I.....read it." Twilight said she looked to the Princess "What is going on here? I mean....with you and...." She nodded towards me.

"You don't know my name, do you?" I asked.

"Seethe Master?" She said with a tone of questioning.

"Twilight," Celestia began "As hard as it to believe, even somepony of my Royal authority has those natural needs. Seethe is my answer to my needs."

Twilight seemed to get red when Celestia spoke of her 'needs'.

"Princess....maybe you and.......Seethe......should come in before we continue this conversation." Twilight suggested stepping aside so we could enter. We entered and took two seats on a rather comfortable sofa. "Now, Princess, Seethe...can I please have a full explanation?" she requested.

"Yes, Twilight. Let me begin: Seethe is a professional comedian. A few days ago, I went to one of his performances and he modified his performance and improvised a good portion of his act just so he could have me on stage. After the show, I bought him a few drinks and we blacked out in my bedroom at the castle the same night. Ever since the morning waking up together, we decided to be together." Celestia explained. "And before that, I attended some of his other performances under a fake alias and disguise. So he is also one of my favorite comedians."

"Wait. You never told me I was one of your favorites?"  I stated.

"Awe...I'm sorry, darling." Celestia said sweetly, then she leaned in and engaged me in a passionate kiss.

"Oh my.." Twilight said blushing and looking away as her mentor kissed me.

"Twilight." Celestia  said "Are we making you uncomfortable?"

"Oh, no, no ,no. Please uhh continue.....if-if you want to." Twilight said almost panicky.

"I think we will." Celestia said trying to test her student. Celestia took me in a deeper kiss. She put her right fore hoof behind my head and pressed us tightly together. She moaned out of pleasure into my mouth. I saw Twilight out of the corner of my eye, she seemed redder than when during the first part of the kiss. She rubbed the back of her head.

Celestia let me go and we broke the kiss, she took a deep breath and pushed us back together and lashed her tongue inside my mouth like a whip.

I swear I think she enjoys making everypony a little uncomfortable. I think everypony gets a bit uncomfortable when they see Princess Celestia making out with me.

Celestia finally let me go. "Wonderful." She whispered. She looked to Twilight "You see, Twilight, he just helped one of my long overdue, long neglected, needs."

"Umm....yes Princess. Forgive me for sounding rude but is the only reason you came over? To put your relationship in context for me?"

"That and to just check in, make sure your alright, you seem to receive more problems,than you receive mail." Celestia said.

I gave a light laugh.  "oh, umm...Twilight, do you have any more of that coffee?" I asked.

"Oh uh, yes sir. I'll get you a glass."  Twilight said almost acting as if I had the same authority as Princess Celestia.

She went into the kitchen area of the library. There was a knock on the door. Twilight came rushing out of the kitchen. She gave me a mug of coffee and rushed to the door. She opened the door.

"Oh, Hi Pinkie Pie." Twilight greeted. The open door didn't give Pinkie a view of me or the Princess.

Pinkie Pie was one of my fans. She is one of the group of fans that, up until a few days ago, were growing in number. That group of fans were the ones who have been intimate with me.

Pinkie Pie had met me in about the same way Celestia had.


It was at one of the only two comedy clubs in Ponyvile. I had just finished my show there that night and received a few complementary bottles of scotch for it. I was already on my way to my hotel. Apparetnyl Pinkie Pie had beaten me there and was waiting at the hotel's entrance. I was approaching the door, bottle of half empty scotch pressed against my lips. Pinkie greeted me at the door.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Your Seethe Master!" She greeted. At the time I was about 1 bottle of scotch into the night.

"O-oh h-hi, who are you?" I asked almost unable to stand.

"I'm Pinkie pie, I'm like your SUPER DUPER BIGGEST FAN!" Pinkie screamed.

"G-good to know." I hiccuped.

"Oooooooh! Can I have your autograph?!" She asked.

"Tell you what, sweet flank, if you c-come with me to my room, I'll give you something better than an autograph..."

Pinkie blushed. "Oh yesyesyesyes!" She screamed when she realized what I was offering.
