Dreams Do Come True Part 2: Dreams Really Do Come True
Chapter 10: Keeping Secrets
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen the train arrived in Canterlot, Star and Sweetie Belle exited quickly. A few ponies bowed to Star but he just signaled for them to rise as he continued walking. Suddenly, Sweetie Belle saw a few shops she wanted to stop in, giving Star an idea.
Beginning his plan, Star said, “Hey Sweetie I need to make a stop. Could we can meet back at the castle in about an hour?” Sweetie Belle gave him an adorable smile. “Sure thing Star!” With that, they separated.

Star walked into Fine Cut’s jewelers sighing as a few ponies bowed to him. Once more, Star signaled for them to rise, and when he walked up to the counter, he saw a smiling older unicorn stallion.
With a smile, Star said, “Fine Cut, I can’t believe it! You got your dream, and you now have businesses almost everywhere.”
Fine Cut smiled. “Thank you, Star. What might I help you with? Is it something for that filly you have been dating for years now?”
“Yes it is. I was wanting an engagement ring and I came here because you have nothing but the best.” Star said. Fine Cut laughed, and proceeded to show Star a ring with pure diamonds emeralds and rubies embedded in it.
“This is my best work yet. I made it a while ago so I want you to give it to that little filly you have been seeing for years now.” Fine Cut said. Astonished, Star merely gazed at the ring with a smile, knowing what he was going to buy for his true love.
With that, Star stated, “Fine Cut, I will take that ring and I will pay in full right now,” and proceeded to levitate a large bag of bits to Fine Cut. His jaw dropped.
“Th-thank you. Star, let me get this ready for you to take back to the castle.” Subsequently, he put the ring in a velvet cloth, and then put the ring in a box. Finally, he levitated it to Star who teleported it back to his room in Ponyville.

The hour had passed rather fast, and Star and Sweetie Belle meet up at the castle as planned. However, when they started walking to the Royal Gardens they saw Diamond Tiara and Ripe Orange walking with a guard standing at their side. This infuriated Star as he rushed up to confront the guard.
“Private Aegis...what in the name of Equestria has gotten into you letting those two in the royal gardens?”
“Prince Shooting Star...I’m sorry, but they asked me if they could go in so I let them in.” Aegis said while his wings lowered to his side while Star was standing their not believing a word of it
“I will have your captain deal with you later but for now we have two trespassing ponies to deal with.” With that, Star walked into the royal gardens grabbing Diamond Tiara and Ripe Orange in his magic saying, with a malicious grin, “Diamond Tiara and Ripe Orange, first you harass me in Ponyville and now you trespass in my home? I don’t think so.”
At this point, Ripe blew his fuse. “Put us down, you moronic shithead! Can’t you just leave us alone for once in our lives?! Because if you did, you would understand the difference between harassment, and abusing power! Our harassment was not nearly as bad, and much more understandable than you abusing your power like that. I bet you think we’re peasants, the way you step on us! I’m not going to tolerate your insubordination anymore! You need somepony to put you in your place, because the world is not your oyster! You suck! You’ve done nothing but inflict pain and misery on our lives, and Diamond and I will destroy you soon!”
“I do not think such a thing, but you are in the royal gardens after scaring one of our guards. Sweetie Belle, please go and get Captain Armor.” Star said while still holding them both while Sweetie Belle ran off to go and get Shining Armor
“Heh, do you honestly think he’s going to harm ponies like us who did nothing wrong? Someone needs to get a claw, because your head is so far up your flank!” Diamond laughed.
“I never said he would harm you but you did make a threat to royalty and that is a crime so who knows what he will do” Star said while sitting down on a bench “Maybe if you are both good enough i can get you off with banishment” Star laughed remembering the story the Fluttershy had to him.
Ripe sighed and whispered to Diamond, “In one ear and out the other, huh? The royal line is absolute mule shit.”
Diamond chuckled softly, and whispered, “Yeah. This dick doesn’t have a right to treat ponies like us, or any ponies for that matter, like insignificant peasants. The only pony who has been treated nicely by him is Sweetie Belle. He must love marshmallows...”
Ripe laughed. “Yeah, I’m not worried. I’m sure my words will sink in; nopony is that dumb.”
Diamond sighed. “I wish, Ripe...”
After that was said Shining Armor came walking up.
With that, Star said, “Here you go Shining, they’re all yours.” passing the two intruders to the captain of the royal guard. “I was able to apprehend them after a while, though Ripe Orange made a threat to the royal family so do with them as you will.” With that, he gave Diamond Tiara and Ripe Orange to Shining Armor through levitation.
“Let’s see, Diamond Tiara and Ripe Orange. Now where is your third member Silver Spoon?” Shining Armor asked in a matter-of-fact tone.
Ripe replied by saying, “Oh, Spoon is at home. It’s the weekend, so Diamond and I thought we should visit someplace beautiful. And what place is more beautiful than these gardens? Diamond, Spoon, and I have been to the wedding, but we were never able to get a good look here. Now, may I make my case as to why I insulted Star, sir?”
“Well, you were both trespassing, and making a threat against royalty is a major crime but let me hear your side.” Shining Armor said while keeping his eyes on the two.
Ripe smiled. “Thank you, sir. Well, not to offend, but I personally feel like Star has been majorly abusing his power. Since the first day he entered our grade, he has done nothing but increase the amount of homework we have had, and made the rest of the class miserable with his constant fighting with our teacher. Granted, the teacher wasn’t very kind, but Star should have kept his cool, like the rest of us did. One day, he even tried to attack Diamond Tiara, and fought with me when I defended her, even though I did punch him in the stomach. The fight broken up quickly, but Star continued to be a thorn in our side. When Diamond and I were having a peaceful date in Manehattan, Star thought it would be a wonderful idea to eat at Manehattan’s finest restaurant, the Grape Vine, without a reservation or even being a citizen of Manehattan to begin with. Diamond and I confronted him, and told him of his wrongdoings, but he remained ignorant. To add, during a court case, Star was able to weave his way out of it, merely because he is “royalty” and was unable to be punished for his own actions. Finally, this whole encounter at the Royal Gardens. First off, there is nothing that suggests this is private around here, and second, Star instantly picked us up, taunted, and insulted us, when we were merely praising the beauty around here. I firmly believe Diamond and I cannot develop our relationship or have any fun with Star around for these very reasons, and he should have his power checked in some way. That’s all I have to say, sir.”
“Yes, but need I tell you about the fake charge you had them give me. There are so many wrong things you have both have done, so I think it’s best if you both shut both of your mouths.” Star said with annoyance in his tone, to which Ripe and Diamond sighed and shook their heads.
“Now, a few of those things have been dealt with. The part about royalty not being able to get in trouble is not true.” Shining Armor said.
Ripe looked at Shining Armor with a perplexed look. “Really? It didn’t seem like that. Also, we charged Star for something that was not fake. If it was, our legal papers would have never been accepted, sir.”
“I understand your side, and I will not punish you harshly, but I am still giving both of you a fine of 5,000 bits, seeing as it is fair thing to do. I want that fine payed with in the month and I don’t want to hear of either of you in these gardens without their being a good reason, such as hosting a gathering of sorts. I am going to kindly ask that you both go back to Ponyville right now.And we will have guards watching both of you from what i understand you have been harassing Star and calling Princess Luna,Nightmare Moon the next time i hear of anything wrong you two do or make anymore threats to royalty i will see to it that you both are thrown into the dungeons”
Ripe and Diamond grumbled something as they began to walk away about hating Star

Star and Sweetie Belle had found a good place in the gardens to have a picnic while eating some of the finest cuisines Star had poured Sweetie Belle and himself another glass of wine
“Hey Sweetie Belle” Star said while taking a bit of his salade
“Yes Star what is it?” Asked Sweetie Belle while looking into his green eyes
“You remember when me and you first met” Star asked her
“I would never forget that day it was at Pinkie Pie’s welcoming party for you” Sweetie Belle said
“Yup that was the day the same one i fell in love with you” Star said to her while covering her with his wing “Its getting late we should head back to PonyVille now” he added as his horn began to glow effectively teleporting them back to the library landing in the living room making ShadowBreeze jump in the air screaming
“Wow Breeze you scream like a little filly you know that” Star said laughing at him while Shadow Breeze was shaking still startled
“I-i know but only when i get really scared” Shadow Breeze said while ShadowFoot was trying not to laugh at the pegasus
“Well either way Breeze i need you to come with me right now” Star said taking Shadow Breeze to his room closing the door and locking it
“Star what are you doing” ShadowBreeze asked while sitting on one of the pillows on the floor
“Ok Breeze i am going to show you something but you can not tell Sweetie Belle about it” Star said Shadow Breeze just nodded while Star pulled the ring out Shadow Breeze’s eyes got wide
“Star that is amazing she will love it i am sure” Shadow Breeze said looking at the ring the was Star did “I could not afford anything like that for Scoots” He added
“Well i might be able to help you out their buddy” Star said poking the sensitive part of the pegasus wing making Shadow laugh
“Star you better treat that little filly right do you hear me” ShadowFoot said stepping in the room making both Star and Shadow Breeze jump in the air
“I will Shadow don’t worry i love her with all my heart” Star said smiling looking at a picture of his beloved when Star hid the ring again everypony else left the room but him when Sweetie Belle walked in they shared a passionate kiss
“Hey Star i need to know something its about the band what if we got famous would you leave royal duties and stay in the band” Sweetie Belle asked worriedly Star laughed and smiled
“I would do anything and everything for you Sweetie Belle” Star said kissing Sweetie Belle while smiling the whole time

The next day Star and Sweetie Belle woke up heading down stairs seeing a very shocked Twilight
“Star you're awake and on time” Twilight said shocked while Star rolled his eyes at her
“I know right stop the presses” Sweetie Belle said with a slight giggle making Star glare at them both
“Very funny i am right here” Star said glaring at them both
“I’m just as shocked as both of you” Spike said laughing
“Ya well at least i am not a baby dragon” Star replied while Spike took his apron off throwing it on the floor
“Spike pick that up right now!” Twilight scolded the dragon who picked the apron up grumbling while there was a huge puff of smoke when it cleared everypony was shocked to say the least as what they saw
“No” Sweetie Belle said
“Bucking” Star said
“Way” Shadow said finishing what Star and Sweetie Belle were too shocked to say
“Spike oh my goodness are you ok” Twilight said rushing to him but when she pulled the apron off her jaw dropped
“Uggg Twilight what happened, Hey where is my foot at” Spike said shocked at what he saw in the mirror
