A necessary evil

Twilight found herself sitting in the grass alongside her friends, who where sharing a laugh and enjoying a sunny afternoon eating flower sandwiches. It had been two days since Frieza arrived and they already grew accustomed to him.

Early that day, the frost demon had decided to leave the castle and explore Ponyville. Had it been another guest, she may have given it a second thought, but considering his amicable nature, she simply couldn't stand on his way. Like that, what was shaping up to be a terrifying experience, suddenly turned into quite a peaceful resolution of the events. Even her friends felt happy after the last days that had passed.

"I still kinda don't trust him." The rainbow maned pegasus cut the young princess' thoughts short, causing her to stare back at her friend with a slightly annoyed expression. Rainbow continued. "I mean, sure he saved us and all! But that face of his doesn't look like the kind type!"

Rarity scoffed at this. "Whatever do you mean with 'that face of his'?" She replied. "He has the most handsome and slick face I've seen in quite sometime and it certainly doesn't look evil!"

Applejack snorted at this, letting out a chuckle. "Ah' think that's your crush talking."

The unicorn blushed furiously, but held a frown in place. "So what? It's not always you come across a powerful alien with a good sense of fashion and actual manners!"

The cowpony rolled her eyes. "Rares, that's not fashion sense, those are his normal colors."

"Then that means he was born beautiful." She answered, getting a collective grunt in response.

Placing a hoof on her templates, Rainbow stomped the ground with the other. "We're getting off topic here!" She said, getting the attention of the group again. "Good looks or not, some ponies can be, you know... Evil!"

"I think he's actually quite gentle." Said the shy pegasus, a small grin on her face.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Fluttershy, you think everypony is nice."

"But he is!" Entered Pinkie, hopping over the blanket they had settled on the ground. "If he wasn't, then why did he accept the party I gave him?"

The blue pegasus grunted at this. "You do know he could be faking, right? I mean, did you see his reaction after the princesses hugged him?"

"Come on, Rainbow." Said Twilight. "You're giving this too much thought! He may simply feel uncomfortable to that kind of affection."

Exasperated, the rainbow manned pegasus grunted, crossing both hooves over her chest while being unable to understand just why the hay her friends were acting all friendly towards a being that had brutally killed a living being.

On her part and with a roll of her eyes, Twilight sighed deeply. In truth she did understand her friend, especially after what she saw in the frost demon, something that still sent chills down her spine, but considering how kind Frieza had been so far, she just figured Rainbow was just taking it all out of context.

"Look, Rainbow, I know you may have your doubts about him, but you will see in time that he is one of the good guys." She said, looking as the rainbow manned pegasus released a sigh of her own. "Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen?"

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground shook, a fire ablaze in the distance and its origin a place Twilight knew all too well. It had happened so fast and without notice that neither of the group had the time to even react at the scene. They were just standing, mouth agape at what had happened with no warning.

Canterlot was gone.

The castle, the houses around it and even the mountain that held them, vaporized in an instant. Like a sudden morbid surprise party, with its main attraction being an explosion of death and misery and the songs heard being the screams of agony and the fires ablaze. Nothing remained and only a cloud of thick smoke arose from the former foundation of her former teacher. Twilight felt her heart stop, a drop of sweat dropping down her forehead as her breathing increased. This was a state shared by her friends, who stood motionless staring at the blazing inferno. Then they heard it.

"Oh, Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho!"

Turning around, the group witnessed as Frieza came down floating, his golden body covered in blood that anypony with a brain would know it wasn't his.

"I have to say, dear Twilight, I was expecting the princesses to put more of a fight." He said, lifting his finger over his head, a maniacal grin plastered on his face. "Sadly, they were nothing more than weak morons..." His sadistic grin grew wider.

"... As the Elements themselves."

"Wait!" Twilight screamed, but it was of no use as Frieza put his finger in front of him and fired a blast against Fluttershy. Her eyes going white as the beam stinged against her, leaving a charred hole on her chest.

The next seconds went the same, as the frost demon's hand moved blindingly fast, killing everyone around her with ease. "Noooo!" Screamed the young alicorn, tears streaming down her face as she tried to wrap her mind around what just happened, all the while hearing the frost demon's maniacal laughter.

"And now, the last great and 'powerful' princess." He said, his finger pointing up towards Twilight, who used whatever strength she had left to stare at the frost demon.

"Frieza, why?" She asked, looking from teary eyes towards the figure of the emperor of evil.

The frost demon stared at her in silence, lowering his finger for a moment as he gave the answer some thought. Then a sadistic grin appeared on his features, something that sent chills down Twilight's spine.

"Why not?"

As the words left the frost demon's mouth, he lifted his finger once more, a glowing, red beam appearing from the tip and with it, Twilight prepared herself for the end.

Suddenly everything behind the frost demon exploded. Both Twilight and Frieza turned around in surprise as the ground was literally blown to the air. The forest, and Ponyville were gone in an instant and as she looked above, Twilight saw something in the frost demon's face.

Fear.

"Not now!" Exclaimed the frost demon, turning around to face the sudden wall of raging fire tat had raised from the ground, cracking the floor and boiling it to the point it literally steamed. Then something happened that caught Twilight by surprise, something that would haunt her dreams for years to come and with it, a sensation of dread and fear she had never felt in her life.

As the enormous wall of ire raged in front of a terrorized frost demon, a single silhouette rested on the other side. Twilight's eyes wide opened when the sickening feeling of familiarity assaulted her, not believing what she was seeing. A shadow in the shape of Frieza, watched amongst the flames, taller, scarier and behind him, a huge equine-looking shadow smiled at her. After that, the hot wall intensified and soon, everything was covered in glowing orange.

"As always, you are a disappointment, little brother.

"AAAAH!"

Twilight awoke with a scream, sitting on her bed and looking around her room like a madmare, while doing her best to stop her heart from jumping out of her chest. Her heavy breathing went in compass to her fast-moving chest and uneasy stare. What just happened?

"Twilight are you alright!?" The door opened abruptly, giving way to a startled Starlight. "Twilight!" She called to the young princess again, finally getting a reaction from her friend, who looked at her with a scared expression on her face.

"Frieza, where is he!?"

Starlight raised an eyebrow at this, taking interest in the rather afraid tone of her voice upon the mention of the name. Cocking her head to the side in confusion, the unicorn spoke. "He's inside the room you gave him." She answered, noticing how Twilight began to calm herself. "Why? Twilight what happened?"

The alicorn remained in place, giving herself time to still her breathing. Finally after a minute, she looked back at Starlight. "I- I had a nightmare." She said.

Starlight closed her eyes momentarily, letting out a a sigh at the young princess' clarification. She figured it was only natural after what had happened, especially since it marked the coming of their alien guest, which she wondered how much he was to blame for the unpleasant dream. "About Frieza?"

Twilight noded, her eyes wide open. "It was so horrible, Starlight!" She said, her voice trembling and her eyes about to release a new set of tears. "Canterlot had been blown up and my friends...." Placing both hooves over her eyes, she began sobbing. "Oh Faust, my friends."

She had a quick problem wording Faust, considering the whole thing about...

"Zeno..."

"Zeno?" Starlight asked. "You mean, that god Celestia was talking about?"

Panic seemed to take hold of the young princess' expression. "He isn't just 'a god'" Twilight exclaimed, fear creeping up on her face. "According to the princesses, he is THE god." Feeling her heart pounding hard, the alicorn placed a hoof atop her chest to try and ease her breathing.

While she remained silent, Starlight gave her friend a sympathetic look, gently placing her hoof on top of Twilight's shoulder. The unicorn just found it funny how the sole mention of the supposedly divine name made Twilight suddenly forget about the nightmare and Starlight couldn't really blame her. She herself had a hard time trying to wrap her head around the whole Zeno thing and was about to simply let it slip as nothing important until she recalled Frieza's reaction. Starlight was actually surprised to see someone as powerful as him trembling upon the name.

Twilight was in the same state.

"I just can't believe there's somepony out there powerful enough to erase everything with just a flick of his arm." She said, looking at Starlight with eyes wide open. "Somepony powerful enough that could destroy even somepony like Discord with little mind placed into it!"

As taken aback as Starlight was about the whole Zeno thing, she was rather curious about the nightmare Twilight had seemingly forgotten about and decided to get the topic back on track. Clearly it was too much information for everypony to handle. However, before she could say anything, the young princess jerked her head up, a confused and yet terrified look appearing on her features.

"There was some pony else..." She said, remembering the silhouette in her dream. "He looked like him, but..." Suddenly, Twilight grunted in pain, a stinging sensation hunting her forehead which was forcing the mare to rub it furiously with a hoof.

Starlight gave one step up front, placing her own arm around Twilight's neck, then pulled her friend close in a hug. "Just let it go for tonight, Twilight." She said, noticing her friend's shaking body. "It was just a dream."

It wasn't long before the slight pain faded, letting the young alicorn think clearly once more at the words of her friend. Was it really a dream?

The Frieza she dreamt off was more accurate to the one she initially met, but then again, so far he had been nothing but gentle and kind, especially after the hug both Luna and Celestia gave him, which she noticed he wasn't fond of. Maybe her mind had twisted genuine premonitions with her own fears, considering how afraid she was of Frieza's power, which made him look like a tyrant in her dreams and the other Frieza-type entity was just a way to separate the two personalities.

Yeah, that was probably it.

She still couldn't fathom beings beyond the power of even the princesses to exist, less one living amongst them. Suddenly unwrapping herself from Starlight's hooves, Twilight gave her friend a smile. "I'm better now, thanks!"

The unicorn nodded in return.

"Then you better get some rest, Twilight." Starlight said. "Remember Pinkie has the party prepared for tomorrow and you really don't want to be sleepy in it." Suddenly, the mare shuddered. "Remember how Pinkie gets when somepony isn't enjoying her parties."

Twilight gave her a healthy laugh, feeling enormous relief after the painful dream. With that Starlight turned around and was about to leave the room. As she did so, the young alicorn's thoughts came back to the frost demon and the air of uncertainty he expelled, causing Twilight to grunt in the unknown.

"Starlight wait!" She called, getting the attention of her friend. "Frieza is inside his room, right?"

Her friend nodded. "You want to talk to him? I could wake him up."

Twilight let out a chuckle. "No it's okay, thank you."

Starlight nodded once more. "Sleep well, Twilight!"

The alicorn smiled in return and it wasn't long before she was left alone in her room, her mind drifting to try and avoid thinking about her dream. She was having an internal debate between deciding on sleeping or get out of her place and into the library.

Falling to her side, Twilight saw the gentle drops of rain that fell outside her window. The young princess was still worried about their guest, but she was sure that once she saw his gentle treatment again, everything would be better. Still there was something at the back of her mind that told her Frieza being there was beyond the danger they normally faced and if he suddenly decided to go on a rampage, there would be nothing in Equestria that could stop him; not the princesses, not themselves, not Shining or any of their foes and not even the Rainbow power. Even thinking about Discord gave her a bit of doubt, but then again Discord was a god and Frieza wasn't.

Shaking her head, Twilight wondered if she was simply being silly about the matter. Again, Frieza had done nothing wrong with them and even put up a friendly face against situations that would have made anypony else a little bit angry. Her eyes slowly closing, she decided to let part of the dream go.

Then she fell asleep.

Outside the castle, a figure laid atop the star adorning the head of the palace, thinking as the gentle drops collided against his body.

Frieza had heard everything.

He wasn't worried in the least, especially considering any kind of trouble and he would just have to murder every single one of them, so hiding his other title as Emperor of evil wasn't exactly something that was a priority on his vacation plans in Equis.

The only good thing... For them, is that he didn't exactly feel like destroying Equestria... At the moment at least. Frieza was truly enjoying his stay for what it was worth, especially after the tense moments during the tournament, which while they were... Half fun, had satisfied his need for combat and torture.

No, right then, he was more interested in the certain shadow Twilight dreamt off, probably someone residing on Equis that her mind had symbolized in her dream.

With a smile on his face, Frieza felt glad about his race having excellent hearing and even more glad to confirm the authenticity of Twilight's dreams. They had not only uncovered his true nature, but they also provided him with possible fun.

Letting out a chuckle, Frieza floated down and watched through Twilight's window, noticing her fast asleep. "Rest well, dear Twilight." He said. "Things may get a lot more interesting, sooner than you think." Letting out another cackle, the frost demon went back to his room.

The storm outside continued.

With a loud, adorable yawn, Twilight stretched her limbs, hearing a few pleasant cracks as she sat up on her bed, getting ready for the day ahead... only to lazily lay down once more with no care in the world. While the young princess was the kind of pony obsessive enough to get up before even the sun was up, when she considered the last few days and her recent nightmare, Twilight just couldn't say no to a few more minutes of rest, besides, looking at the clock, she knew there were just a few hours left before the party Pinkie promised to Frieza.

And speaking of the frost demon, she actually felt a little better after the night she passed, mentally thanking Starlight, but also snickering at Spike who she just remembered was sleeping like a brick.

"Spike be Spike." She said with a sigh.

After half an hour, the young alicorn decided she had enough rest and soon stood up. After this, Twilight used her magic to get her bed ready, then walked over to her mirror to fix her tangled mane. Normally she would take a shower before doing so, but considering how wild Pinkie's parties were, Twilight figured the chances of sweating were higher. She would take a bath as soon as she returned.

Her mane ready, Twilight walked towards her door and went through the long hallways of the castle going to the main hall and the place where they had dining room. She was only half way when she heard a familiar voice.

"Holly molly, dude! That is awesome!" The voice said. "I've seen Twilight level a mountain, but you can actually blow up planets!"

Twilight smiled warmly.

She figured everypony was already up and waited for her and Spike had taken interest in Frieza. She could only shake her head imagining the face on the frost demon upon being assaulted by questions. Getting closer, she heard Spike again.

"Heck! Luna can move the moon and Celestia the sun, but you could blow up those two!"

Just in that moment, Twilight pushed the doors and walked inside the room, gaining the attention of everypony present. "Don't get any ideas, Spike, there will be no planetary blow ups."

In her mind, she had actually found the conversation rather disturbing, considering it was basically genocide, but decided let it slip, taking it as nothing more than a joke in spite of his abilities. Not that she had any doubts that Frieza could indeed blow up a planet, but for the short time she knew him, it was enough to recognize his dark sense of humor.

"Morning dear Twilight, I was starting to worry you wouldn't make it to miss Pie's party."

Before she could answer, Starlight walked into the room, grabbing a bunch of plates with her magic. Considering the little facts shared by the frost demon a day before, she made sure to prepare something edible for him, which ended up with something simple. Pancakes. "If she knows what she's getting into, I'm sure Twilight wouldn't risk missing Pinkie's parties."

The frost demon chuckled at this. "I'll be sure to remember that." Extending his arm to grab his own plate. "Much appreciated, miss Glimmer."

"Don't worry about it, Frieza." Answered Starlight.

Twilight smiled at the scene, everypony sitting around the table, just waiting for her, peaceful. Suddenly a voice cut her thoughts short.

"I take it you slept well, dear Twilight." Frieza said.

Twilight let out a chuckle, sitting on her chair in front of Frieza, who had curiously sat at the opposing head. "I wish that was the cases Frieza, but I had a bit of a bad nightmare."

"If it is not an inconvenience, would you like to share it with us, Twilight?"

She gave his request a thought for a couple moments, before looking back at the frost demon. She saw in that moment something in his expression, behind his friendly smile. Something dark, twisted, almost as if he knew about her dream before-hoof and was only enjoying her torture. Shaking her head slightly, Twilight figured her dream was getting the better of her.

With a sigh, she looked once more at the frost demon. "Actually, I would like to forget about it." She said, her face falling for a few moments before her smile appeared again. "How about you, Frieza? How was your night?"

Frieza's knowing look faded away, as he sat back, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "I have to say, dear Twilight, it has been a while since I had a bed that comfortable."

"That's good to know." Answered Twilight. "You're gonna need a lot of energy for the party."

Placing a hand under his chin, Frieza cocked his head to the side. "There's been much talk about miss Pie's party," he said, "should I be nervous about it?"

Twilight giggled at this. While true, Pinkie could get a little... Weird, the talk of her parties being dangerous became a common misconception. "Not at all Frieza and if you don't mind the advice, just... You know, enjoy it."

With a cackle, Frieza cut a piece of the pancake, then eat the small chunk with as much class as any royalty, which considering his previews status, it was to be expected. A couple seconds passed until he finished chewing, cutting another piece of the pancake while looking at it in deep thought.

"To be honest with you, dear Twilight," he began, "I've never exactly been the soul of the party." He was right, especially considering the last couple of celebrations he could remember, ended up with floors and walls painted in blood and him laughing at the middle of the carnage.

With a chuckle of her own, Twilight shook her head. "You know? I actually can't imagine you as the type to go wild."

In that moment, his eyes met hers, his expression making everypony present suddenly stare at him with worried faces. "Oh, but I do get wild." He giggled, his mouth forming a gentle yet wicked grin. Starlight noticed something extremely familiar about Frieza, something that screamed at her in the back of her mind, almost forcing her to look at him as a mirror. Without noticing, her breathing fastened.

On her part, Twilight silently wondered how he could be so friendly and unsettling at the same time. This fact had caused her to loose her voice, staring at Frieza's sadistic smile as the moment turned more and more uncomfortable. Noticing this, Starlight took a few breaths and decided to give her friend a little hoof.

Clearing her throat, she caught the attention of the frost demon and prepared to talk, but panicked the moment no words managed to come out of her mouth.

The scene was a delight to Frieza. He would keep his silent word of not destroying them at the moment, but that didn't mean he couldn't have a little bit of fun watching them squirm and stare at him in uncertainty and fear. Moving his gaze to land on the small drake, Frieza saw him looking between Twilight and Starlight, refusing to have eye contact with the frost demon.

Regardless of how excited Spike was with Frieza, he still feared him for some reason.

A few moments of torment passed until Frieza decided he had enough fun. With a chuckle, he began to speak. "Of course, I wouldn't ruin a gift such as this, especially since miss Pie took the time to actually prepare it for someone she had never met in her life."

Silence continued for a couple more seconds, making Frieza consider he might have overstepped his fun. Suddenly, Twilight gave a genuine hearty laugh. "Wow, Frieza! I just find it surprising how you literally send chills down my spine, while being so nice to us!"

Starlight gave her friend a silent nod, which was also shared by Spike.

Letting out a chuckle of his own, Frieza let put the warmest of smiles he could make to appease the situation. "So I've been told before, dear Twilight." He said. "I apologise for whatever sense of uncertainty I might have caused you."

"Don't worry about that, Frieza." Answered Starlight. Wanting to change the conversation, she brought up another topic.

"How are the pancakes, by the way?" She asked. "This was actually the first time I make them with apple slices! I just hope they are at least passable."

Taking another bite, Frieza grinned. For what was worth, they really were good. "Then maybe I should congratulate the chef, miss Starlight." The unicorn blushed at that and like that, the atmosphere returned to normal.

Thinking back at the party, Frieza, being a tyrant and all, still had manners. Something his father had always told him, is that it was better to be five minutes earlier than five minutes later and while he wasn't exactly looking forward to waste his time, the frost demon had to admit he was kind of curious about what the pink monstrosity could do. And like that, the breakfast continued, only the occasional question and small talk following.

A couple hours passed and the group were already on their way. Frieza was floating in front of the two mares and the young drake, who found themselves talking. On his part, the frost demon was deep in thought, surprised that the pink beast's party was occupying his thoughts that much.

In reality, he didn't know what to expect and that disgruntled him. Annoying or not, Pinkie seemed like an enigma... A disgustingly pink enigma. Would the party be child-like? Was it going to be more peaceful and easy going? Or maybe out of control and chaotic? And most importantly Why do I keep wasting my time thinking about such a moronic waste of time? He thought.

In truth, Frieza did enjoy a festivity like that, especially when everyone knew their place, but in this case there were a lot of unknowns. He hated to admit it, but he thanked his defeats at the hands of Goku, which have given him a few lessons. Thanks to him, the frost demon went out of his comfort zone easier than before and since that's how he achieved his golden form, Frieza knew it worked.

Looking at the place where he was already sensing Pinkie, the frost demon figured he would simply go blindly. If Frieza didn't like it, he very much doubted anyone would even dare stopping him. That was certainly going to put all that time spent learning patience in hell, to test.

A couple minutes more, the group was already at the door, Frieza noticing the lights off.

Placing a hand over his eyes while letting out a sigh, he silently wondered if the pink beast seriously planned a surprise party after fully knowing she had told him about it before hand. Leaving the fact that he could sense several ki signatures, to the side, the very decision of pretending the festivity to be a surprise was outright moronic.

"Frieza?"

Twilight's voice called the attention of the frost demon, who turned to look at her. "Forgive my bluntness, but I see no reason in miss Pie's decision to pretend this is a surprise."

Twilight shook her head, grinning a bit at her friend's antics. "Sometimes the best course of action is not to take it too seriously." Frieza deadpanned, causing Twilight to shrug. "Pinkie will be Pinkie."

With a long deep sigh, he turned around and placed a hand over the door. "I never thought I would willingly open the gates of hell."

Hearing multiple chuckles behind him, Frieza opened the door. As much as he suspected, there were several ponies "hidden" amongst the darkness, most of which were relatively weak and others who...

How interesting... The frost demon thought.

There, hiding alongside the citizens, were Celestia and Luna themselves. Curious, considering their position of power in comparison to the rest of the equines, but then again, Equestria had shown a rather defective way of ruling. Maybe the party wasn't going to be such a waste after all, unless the hugging came...

"Surprise!"

The lights suddenly turned on, farcing Frieza to cover his eyes for a few seconds, then took a good look at everypony present. He was once again surprised to actually notice most of the townsfolk in there. How the hell do they fit? He asked himself, breaking his mind while trying to warp reality to the situation, but ultimately decided to take Twilight's advice and not question it.

"... rprised!? Are you surprised!? Are you surprised!? Are you surprises!? Are you surprised!?"

Letting himself get carried away once more, caused Frieza to completely ignore the first words of the beast's sentence and only heard what could be considered the general idea. Looking ahead, he saw her, bouncing like a maniac while asking the same damn question over and over again. Deciding to ignore her, he gazed at the rest of the ponies, who stood in silence, an imbecilic smile plastered on their faces as they waited in silence for him to say something.

He sighed What a way to start...

Letting out a forced grin, Frieza walked towards Pinkie. "You are one big box of surprises, miss Pie." Said, making sure to let the next words sound as sarcastic as they could. "I could have never suspected this joyful party to await me behind the door."

If she would feel bad or good, he really didn't care. Surprisingly, though, her smile grew wider. "Aww! I'm glad you liked it!" Before he could say anything else, she took him by surprise and placed a cone hat over his head. He was on a loss for words as she dematerialized on thin air.

I'm just going to ignore that...

With that, the party started. The group that came with him, went towards one of the tables inside and talked to the other ponies he had met a day before, including the Rainbow manned one who casted quick wary side glances at him. He decided to ignore her.

Alone on his thoughts, Frieza noticed the enormous banner that read "Welcome to Ponyville Mr. Frost demon!" Amusing... He thought.

"So good to see that you came to Pinkie's party, Frieza." The frost demon's words were cut short, feeling something creeping up on his spine as his body shuddered. It became worse when he felt a hoof over his back. "I've been dying to talk to you."

A sweat ran down his forehead as he heard the seductive tone of the luscious pony. "M-miss Rarity." He said, trying to remain calm but utterly failing. The princesses' hugs were one thing. Rarity's approaches were another.

"I figured you would like good company." She said, standing in front of the frost demon whose eyes twitched. Hastily moving back to stay away from the unicorn, the frost demon gave her an amicable grin. "I-its always a pleasure, miss Rarity."

She just stared at him and smiled, simply... Smiled. Frieza silently wondered if that's how some beings felt when he stared at them. Suddenly, his panicked expression disappeared as he felt two particular ki signatures. About damn time!

"Princesses, I did not expect to see you here." He said, turning around to greet the two royalties alongside Rarity.

"We were considering whether to come or not, but in the end we figured it wasn't every day you get to be in a party for an alien." The sun princess said.

The frost demon chuckled, giving Celestia a playful frown. "I believe that alien has a name, your highness."

Luna snorted at this, a grin appearing on her face. "And which of the two names would that be?"

"As amusing as I find the title miss Pie gave me, I still enjoy the name my father thought was best." He answered, placing a hand a top his chest.

Celestia and Luna noticed something rather endearing about the frost demon, something they identified with. They saw the respectful mention towards his parent, a hint of love and admiration on the frost demon's features, which made the royal sisters wonder what kind of alien he is or was.

Cocking her head to the side, Celestia looked with interest at the emperor of evil. "Say, what is your father's name?"

Frieza's smile went wider, taking enormous pride to let know those two low-level equines about his parent. "Cold, your highness and our empire knew him as King."

"King Cold, uh?" Repeated Luna, rubbing her chin with interest.

Silence endured for a couple seconds until the sun princess decided to change the topic."So how are you enjoying the party, Frieza?" Celestia asked.

Cocking his head to the side in confusion, Frieza spoke. "It's a little too early to say, don't you think princess?"

She chuckled in return. "Indeed it is." She said, her gaze falling on Rarity, who had remained silent the entire time.
A devious smile appeared on her face which Frieza caught instantly. "Maybe we should leave you two then, there will be plenty of time for talking later."

She could almost chuckle at the almost panicked state of Frieza's look, who subconsciously shook his head. "Nonsense, your highness, there is plenty of time for..."

"Ta-ta, Frieza!" Celestia answered, waving a goodbye with her hoof as she went away, followed by Luna who was chuckling at his expense.

Did she just leave me here!?

"So, how was your first night at Twilight's?" Rarity asked, her voice bringing Frieza back to his reality. Although, thankfully, she didn't sound as... Needy as she did before.

Looking back at her and knowing he wouldn't be able to escape his horrid fate, Frieza figured he could put in good action the teachings on manners his father gave him. Letting out a breath, he gave Rarity a grin and motioned with his hand towards the enormous table at the other side of the room. "How about we go for a drink first, miss Rarity."

She smiled in return. "Not a bad idea."

Turning around, the frost demon mentally prepared himself for the incoming hours until suddenly, he felt her hoof wrapping itself around his arm. He almost chocked on his own saliva, if it wasn't for his last minute reaction.

Frieza had to admit, Rarity was unsettling.

Without any of the two knowing, a certain drake watched the scene, an angry look plastered on his face.
