“So, Twilight says you’re practically her uncle.”

“Yup, suppose I am. I’se around her since she was a filly.”

I’m sitting on some rubble left over from the Sister’s Castle. The blue and orange ponies both pulled up their own improvised stone seats and had started interrogating me. Twilight and the other three were talking with Celestia and what was Nightmare Moon.

I looked over to them, Rarity and Fluttershy were looking my way, almost glaring. When they saw I was looking at them too, they quickly looked away. Trying to pretend like they weren’t looking at all.

After the Applejack’s question, Rainbow Dash pips in and says, “I betcha got a lot of stories to tell about ‘ol Purple Smart over there, dontcha?”

Looking down at the blue pegasus with a scrutinizing eye. I linger there for a second, before replying with, “Eeyup.”

The orange one face hoof, muttering something about ‘all stallions being the same’ before speaking up again. “Well, care to tell some of them?”

I rub my chin, running my fingers through my heavily grown facial hair. “Welp, I’ve got a couple stories, but I doubt ‘Lil Twi over there would like me talking about the time she got soap confused for ice cream.”

The blue one guffaws, “She actually did that? How?!”

“Ask her yourself, I keep storytime for when there's a bonfire and I’ve got smores.”

Rainbow looks into the distance, licks her lips, and rubs her tummy while mumbling ‘mmmnnnn smores…’

“Well could you atleast tell us one story? Since we’re friends?”

“Who said we were friends? Twilight told me your names and that's about it.”

“Well, we did save Equestria together!” Rainbow says says, smirking.

“Yeah, and I’ve done that on my own before too. Doesn’t make a difference.”

Her smirk instantly breaks. “YOU?! How can you save equestria on your own?”

“You kiddin? Did you even see what I did to Nightmare Moon? Anyway, that would be another story for an even longer day. I’m tired as hell anyway.”

Applejack takes her hat off and wipes her forehead with a hoof, “Yeah, me too, sure wish someone could tell a story to help us fall asleep for a quick nap.” She slyly says.

“Now, now country girl. I may have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night.”

I adjust myself on my stony throne and pull out another smoke.

“Well, I suppose I could tell you one story… You see, it all started at the beginning. When two people love each other very much, they-”

The blue one blushes and goes “Woah, woah, woah! We don’t need THAT story! Tell us about how you met Twilight!!”

“I’m just fucking with ya little Rain. I actually met Twilight the same day she got her cutie mark. Celestia saw promise in the little unicorn and took her under her wing. Taught her magic and stuff. I was just a humble janitor, working under that swan lookin’ Princess.”

That remark gets a giggle out of both of them, and the yellow pegasus, white unicorn, pink earth pony, and Twilight herself take notice.

Pinkie immediately skips over to us, while Twilight stops and looks between the Princess, her friends, and I. Celestia says something to her, Twilight bows, then makes her way over to us.

“So, I see you’ve made buddies with Mr.Clean!” Twilight says, smiling proudly.

“Yeah, he was just tellin’ us about how he knows you!” Applejack says.

Twilight’s ears flop back at her last words and she lets out a sheepish ‘oh’.

I lean over and give her a pat on the head, avoiding her horn. “There, there, Twilight. It wasn’t that bad!”

I stop the love pats and lift my left leg onto my right knee, getting into a more comfortable position. “Anyway, as I was saying; I was just a humble janitor, cleaning shit and being an overall nuisance to the Princess and staff. You know, things janitors are supposed to do.”

That gets a giggle out of all of them, even Twilight who looks around apprehensively.

“Alright, well when she got her cutie mark, she turned that little guy,” I say, pointing towards the baby dragon who was over by Rarity and the others, almost latched onto her foreleg. “Into a pretty big bastard, let me tell you. Pretty sure she aged him to an adult, but hell if I know. Anyway, when she did that she practically destroyed the entire room. There was rubble everywhere, burn marks all over the floor, the place was trashed to say the least.”

Now it was Twilight’s turn to blush. She covered her face with her hoofs and looked away from everyone in embarrassment.

“I run into the room, scared shitless that something happened to the Princess, just to find an absolutely demolished room. I mean it was trashed. I saw the Princess holding a little purple filly and looking around the room.”

“Ooh, ooh! What happened next? What happened next?!” The pink one ecstatically asks.

“Not much really, Celestia over there explained what happened and magiced the room in order. Saved me a helluva time too. Do you know how hard it is to put a roof back together? Or get burn marks out of stuff? It's hell, absolute hell.”

Applejack nods her head sagely and agrees.

“Wait, that's it? No monsters slayed? No falling through the sky with amnesia and wondering where you are? No waking up in an infirmary, escaping, and then finding Twilight being kidnapped, only to save her by taking care of her kidnappers in the most brutal way possible?!” Pinkie Pie asks, hopping in place.

We all just stared at her, confusion apparent on everyone else’s face.

“No. Nothing that cool.”

“Oh well!” She says, shrugging her shoulders and sitting back down.

“Uhh… Anyway… Nothing that edgy. Any other questions?”

“Sorry to abruptly end this fun little get together, but I have an announcement to make!” Princess Celestia interjects.

She stands proudly, next to her sister, who is barely holding it together. Her legs are rigid and her wings are shaking slightly.

“Mares and Janitor, I proudly announce my sister, Luna, my fellow Princess of Equestria.” Celestia says, puffing out her chest.

Luna slowly moves forward and greets herself. “H-hello, tis a pleasure to meet thee.”

“Oh god this again.” I grumble to myself, rubbing my temples.

“Thou art kind and generous for freeing me from myself. I thank thee greatly.”

All the ponies greet themselves, bow and start conversing with the new Princess. With them distracted, I distance myself from them and take a place against a wall a bit away.

I twirl the ring around in my fingers. Celestia took it off earlier and gave it back to me. Apparently it lost most of its magic and it will take a while to charge back up to be able to take on a full Alicorn.

I slip it on my left ring finger and look down at it.

“Heh, would make for a not half bad wedding brand.” I mumble to myself.

“You should keep it, Sir Knight. It mayeth come in handy one such time.”

I look up a little bit to see Luna herself standing in front of me.

“Well if it isn’t the mare of the night herself. Hows it goin shady?”

She bachs and my words and bows deeply with her ears pressed against her head again.

“Again, I must apologize for thy transgressions. I shant make them again, and I prithee thou to pardon I.”

I crouch down and cup my hand under her chip, forcing her to look up at me.

“Now look here little one, I hold nothing against you. You are Luna, not Nightmare Moon. You have nothing to apologize for.”

“B-but twas I who did all those things!”

I wrap my hand around her muzzle, silencing her. “Stop that. I refuse to hear you say these things. You were weak and and Nightmare Moon took advantage of that. From what Celestia has told me you were a great sister and the best friend she ever had. I refuse to let someone as precious as you degrade yourself.”

I let go of her and stand back up. “Got it?”

The small blue mare looks up to me. Her eyes begin to water and she lets out a sniffle. Suddenly, she jumps up and wraps her hoofs around my neck, burying her face into the crook of my neck.

“T-thank you Sir Knight! Your words pierce my heart! Thee may have a need for thine ring yet!” She says, hopping down and rushing over to her sister.

“The fuck did she just say?”

Author's Note

I feel as though the quality in these are slowly, or rapidly in some cases, degrading. Ironic, really. Next chapter, whenever I post it, will be better. I had to rewrite this chapter twice. Once for forgetting how I ended the last chapter, and the second becuase I forgot to save. Kids, this is why you use GoogleDocs.

Next chapter, Clean goes back to the Castle with a new princess in tow. With her coronation, Clean is going to be dealing with old friends. - Moon Princess Path Unlocked?

Either way, this story is going two different ways, so if I make some mistakes here or there, blame me. The first story was better anyway.
