Chapters As usual, into the morning, Blueblood was looking for a beautiful mare to put in her bed. Insulting in passing the servants he said incompetent. Yet a beautiful mare dressed as a servant passed in front of her snout.
She was an earth pony but Blueblood found her extremely pretty with her blue coat, gray mane, and eyes with several shades of roses. Of course, she was just a servant and without horns with that but Blueblood was attractive.
He came to her who was pushing a heavy cart and as usual, he ordered him to come to his room right away without even helping her with the cart. The mare, really naive at least to the taste of Blueblood, followed him without understanding what the prince wanted.
Arriving in her room, she asked how to serve her prince in a tone that could not be more formal. Blueblood approached her who blushing and asked with an arrogant tone whether she wanted to make love. The face of the mare turned red and went out of the door without a word. Blueblood watched her walk away, staring at her rump, swaying.
Then, a few hours later, he went to town in one of the chic cafes of Canterlot. Ruminating his rejection on the part of this stupid mare. He believed himself from his irresistible point of view. This mare must have problems of vision to deny Blueblood so it ruminates it.
Then he noticed while he was drinking his coffee, the same mare who had refused him the diaper drinking tea in one of those bars cruelly lacking luxury and distinction for a stallion like him. He thought about it and decided to invite her, giving the mare a second chance to be with him. He asked the waiters to give a letter that he hurriedly wrote on the coffee counter to this future conquest. He also paid an extra to the servers to keep quiet about the nobility. The waiter politely refused the supplement and went, taking a bouquet of roses in front of a florist that he placed in front of the mare and whispered in his ear.
This one looked at Blueblood in the distance then looked at the flowers and decided to approach in the company of the friendly waiter in a tuxedo. She thanked the waiter with a tip, walked to the square in front of Blueblood. He was sweating in front of the mare staring at him shyly smiling.
" Forgive me a little earlier for my manners somewhat ... rushed but when I saw you, I felt my brain turn a quarter turn. "
" I apologize for behaving badly towards you, my prince, but I was somewhat surprised at your rush to get me into your bed. See, I am a mare who is not there only to be an object. " She replied, still a little angry.
" How could I be forgiven, my lady? But what do you call yourself? "
" My name is Shoeshine. Could we start eating? This morning at the castle exhausted me. All these trolleys are so heavy to push! "
" Of course, a waiter brings the usual for me and this charming person I beg you! Forgive my indiscretion but you seem new to the castle? "
" Yes, I just moved to Canterlot to find work, unfortunately, the people here hires mostly unicorns to do the work but I'm happy to have still managed to find this work as a servant although a little painful for me. "
" I could help you find a better job if you want it. "
The waiter arrived at their tables and set down two large, succulent plates of salads accompanied by a fruit dessert.
" Prince, forgive my impertinence, but do you eat those delights every day? "
" Of course. why? "
" I'm never eaten. "
" So take advantage in this case. "
"Can I? "
"Certainly, I take the bill. "
" Thank you Prince Blueblood. "
As these charms began to work, Blueblood, who was a very good charmer, listened with a deaf ear, the mare told her story, her family and her other things all but what interested her in the mare she was talking about.
Then Shoeshine slipped away after realizing she was late for the afternoon work. Blueblood found himself stupidly alone on the terrace, not angry but humiliated that Shoeshine had left him alone for such a silly pretext as working.
Nopony of good condition would have to work. It was like the nobility for the... poor. This word was disgusting Blueblood at its only pronunciation.
Shoeshine ran out of all these forces to have a chance to still arrive on time. When she arrived, the Head of Service scolded her for her irregularity. She apologized and went straight to put on her white and black maid costume.
The other unicorns watched her amused by her discussion with the stern Head Service Clear Now. This one gave her the most thankless tasks reminding him that she was only a "vulgar lowland pony floor".
She took the broom and a sponge then began to clean the floor rubbing with these hooves and a broom.
In the evening, Blueblood, who still had not given up on Shoeshine, invited her to dinner in his a divine presence in one of Canterlot's most sophisticated restaurants, remembering the mare's weakness for good food.
Her dear aunt Celestia had by some means learned the gallant date with Shoeshine and encouraged her to act, which she believed to be sincere. Blueblood did not dare to tell her that he wanted only a few nights with her, not wishing to engage with a person of so low a condition as a servant.
Nevertheless, Celestia anonymously offered a lovely dress at Shoeshine for the occasion tonight. Blueblood did not believe these eyes at the sight of it with this beautiful black sequined dress. Shoeshine thought it was a good idea to leave a message of thanks to the person who sent her the dress Celestia found where she had left the dress.
Shoeshine and Blueblood went to the restaurant although unusual to the noble attendance not wanting to be seen with it. They ate and drank copiously and then went to Blueblood's room where I would decide by intimacy not to go into details.
The next morning after a few nights, Blueblood, who had had what he wanted and did not want her, spoke to him more than by "maids" and with a haughty air. Shoeshine, who said it was naive, thought it was just a subterfuge to avoid a moment of discomfort if someone heard them in the corridors.
Then came the evening when she thought it was good to go and see Blueblood in secret to propose a picnic in love with the moonlight. He laughed at her and then explained to her that she was for him only the stroke of a night to which there would be nothing more.
Shoeshine started crying wandering through the corridors of the now-dark castle, curled into a corner and cried all the tears from her body as she thought she had found the stallion of those dreams. Voices rang out in the hallway and she heard surprise that the princesses passing by and saw her crying cowering on her own in a dark corner of the hallway.
Luna looked at her astonishing sister who explained to her in a whisper what she knew about the situation. Luna assembled the pieces of the puzzle and got upset about Blueblood's arrogance and heartbreak attitude :
" It's no longer possible for my sister, that idiot of nephew to break the heart of the mare too much! He must be punished! "
" Calm down, there is no point in getting upset and maybe, at least I hope so, we are cheating on what's going on. "
" I hope for him because otherwise ... "
" Calm down! I will take care of Shoeshine. Can you start the council of war meeting without me? "
" Uh ... Okay, I'll be sure to tell you what's going on. I'm going there, goodnight! "
" Goodnight sister! "
" Let's calm down Shoeshine! What's wrong? "
" Blue ... Bluebloo ... Blueblood threw me like a rotten apple. " *in tears*
" Are you sure? There may be a misunderstanding. "
" For a week he's ignoring me, and when ... when I ask him to picnic with me, he said I was nothing to him. "
" How? This dirty little pretentious told you that? It does not surprise me and me who thought he had finally found love beyond the appearances he so desires. "
Shoeshine in the wrath of Celestia curls up, even more, crying in hot tears.
" Excuse me, Excuse me Shoeshine, I did not want to scare you but when I think of all this, a horrible bitter taste in my mouth comes to me. I think this one deserves a little lesson. "
" A lesson? "
" What would you say to this if you agree ..."
Then Celestia whispered his plan to Shoeshine's ear.
" It would be a fantastic princess although it must be a bit strange at first. "
" Do not worry, everything will be fine. "
As every morning Blueblood wakes up but seems not to be in his room but in a corner of a corridor where several amused servants watched him. He got up grunting, realizing he had a blue fur-like... No, that could not be. He discreetly slipped to his room and looked at the mirror. He was ... Shoeshine but how and especially why. He tried to speak so that once a female came out of his mouth. He looked where the old part was, but there was something else.
Suddenly, he noticed something in his bed. He lifted the quilt and saw ... himself sleeping like an infant. He was furiously angry and shook his sleeping body, waking up surprised and then smiling at the sight of his agitator.
" Hello Blueblood, the good day you can not find? "
" Shut up, I do not know how you did that, but you'll immediately surrender my body if not ... "
" Otherwise what? "
" I'll tell Celestia and you'll be sent to Tartarus! "
" She knows. "
" What??? "
" Now move your rump and go get me some food! "
" Out of the question and we do not talk like that to Blueblood. "
" Blueblood is me and if you do not bring me back breakfast, I'll ask Celestia to stay that way. "
" But ... well, but where is the kitchen. "
" Ask the other servants! "
" But I am... "
" You were. Now you're Shoeshine, a pony of earth maid who will do what you ask her because the real thing is tired of being abused! "
Blueblood in the wrath of the mare now in his body and he in his own decision to run away then knowing Celestia busy all day. She went to ask for help from Princess Luna, her diabolical aunt. His only help. The guards at the entrance to her room let her into the darkroom. Blueblood took his courage with two hooves and shook Luna to wake her up.
" What is going on? Shoeshine? What are you doing here? It's about last night? "
" I'm not Shoeshine, it's me, Blueblood your favorite nephew. "
" My only nephew too. What? Hold on! But then you say you are ... "
Then Luna laughed at such a volume that the palace would not hold fast at this rate.
" It's been a long time since I had laughed so much. But then it means that I can avenge any time you tried to persuade the inhabitants of Equestria that I was going to become Nightmare Moon again! "
"Aunt, I am very sorry about that. Help me, please! "
" Petal Harmony, can you watch Shoeshine as she cleans the Lunar Guard locker room without helping her of course? Do not forget your outfit for you my little Shoeshine. "
" I hate you so much. " Blueblood mumbled softly.
" And without forgetting your other tasks with my dear nephew, the real Blueblood. "
" Good, Princess Luna. "
A lovely white unicorn with green eyes, a blue mane and a cutie mark with a moon with red glasses came out of the surprise front door.
Then Blueblood and Petal Harmony went to this disgusting place. Both entered the dirty cloakroom, where there were lots of clothes on the floor and nauseating smell. He tried to do some magic so he did not have to touch anything with these hooves, but he remembered he had no horn.
" I advise you to quickly Shoeshine, your know-how can be the lunar stallions after around. "
" Why? "
" Do you want to know how he treats mares like us? "
" Maybe not finally. You could help me? "
" No, sorry, the princess has clearly said that I should not under any circumstances help you. But why does the princess make you do this punishment? "
" I woke her up without any motive. "
" That's all? She seemed so happy when I saw her and when she laughed. You really should start. "
" But it's dirty. "
" Since when has a maid been afraid of dirt? Come on. "
Blueblood, therefore, took his business but could not move with so he did not know what to do. He turned to the mare.
" Use your mouth if you can not do it, put it on your back. "
Fortunately, it was not the body of Blueblood but it remained abject so far. The proud unicorn that he was was a simple and vulgar pony on the ground with the unicorn mare who made fun of him.
he guards finally arrived at his great terror. They gave him many compliments on his rump up to him spank friendly making him flinch. The unicorn was doing better with nice compliments on her pretty face. After finishing quickly, Blueblood wanted to leave but the magic of Petal Harmony held him back.
" Prince Blueblood's breakfast! "
" But ... "
" We do not disobey orders. "
This maid's outfit humbled Blueblood. He tried to remove it only so that it tightens a little more. A stroke of Luna is on.
He and Petal Harmony went to the kitchen where they had Blueblood's breakfast and delivered it while he was quietly reading a book still in bed.
" Thank you both. Petal Harpony could I have a little private time with Shoeshine? "
" Of course, your royal highness. "
The real Blueblood waited for Petal Harmony to close the door before embarking on an accusing dialogue.
" Shoeshine, we do not talk like that to royalty! "
" I'm not you, stupid mare. I'm a girl, an earth pony, some guards patted me on the buttocks and you pretend you're me. "
" Be careful, you give me ideas about my condition. Further, what you are telling me is happening since I live in Canterlot. Every day unicorns make fun of me, dark morons look and touch my rump without even asking my opinion by what I am I quote a servant. " Becoming more and angrier.
" Forgive my frankness, but that's not my problem. I am sincerely sorry for you but could you transform me now. I understood the lesson. " Eyes of pure hate went against him.
Then in a voice containing strong anger she called :"Petal Harmony, can you give Shoeshine the chore of today's laundry! "
"... Well, your highness. "
A few hours later in the town of Canterlot, Blueblood was carrying a giant stack of laundry still in maid's clothing accompanied by Petal Harmony.
" Please, you who on a horn, could not you help me with this stack of clothes. My back hurts. "
" Stop doing your fragile, the fountain is only a few steps. I do not want to dirty my mane to take care of these disgusting things that you carry. "
The two mares stopped at the fountain when Blueblood saw Jet Set and Upper Crust wander. He could help him in his condition by making a date for him with Princess Celestia. He pushed the entire basket of laundry into the water so that Petal Harmony would be busy for a few moments and then slipped away gently. He approached them and began to talk to them :
" Hello, excuse me for disturbing you madam and sir but could you make an appointment for me with Princess Celestia, please? "
" Do you want us, good people, to introduce us to Princess Celestia for you? A shabby earth pony maid who does not even know what good manners and places are. " Arrogant Upper Crust says.
" I have good manners. Please have a good heart for a poor mare in need. "
" Sorry, we'd rather be mixed up with people in our ranks ... you guys, the non-noble ponies who cultivate the land. " This time Jet Set looks at you in all his stature.
" Pity. "
" Are you going to the rascally? "
Suddenly, Petal Harmony arrived in the back of Blueblood and closed his muzzle with his magic.
" Excuse her, she had a difficult start to the day. We go there, have a good day! "
" Good day madam, thank you for taking this mare out of our way. "
Then after they left, Petal Harmony gave Blueblood a murderous look. The laundry was now fully soaked but back in the trash. Petal Harmony with Blueblood went into a magical business to heat or cool various items for whatever reasons ranging from a dish to heating or creating blocks of ice cubes.
Then still angry but back at the castle, Petal Harmony left because of the lunch break. Blueblood was able to escape new chores so that another unicorn by the name of Clear Now came to him very angry.
" Pity. " Blueblood said curling up.
" It's been three hours since I wait for you! Where the hell were you? "
" Princess Luna and Prince Blueblood have given me a lot of chores. Could I have a minute break? "
" Two even if you want but you are very late on your schedule so I advise you to stir your rump quickly if you do not want to finish too late. "
" I would not work on that. "
" You will work where you will sleep outside. He announces rain tonight. "
" Pity. "
Blueblood was humiliated by this day, being a maid, being a mare, not having a horn, not being noble, being Shoeshine was terrible for him. If we forgot that he was going to have to live in the district of the vulgar servants. Blueblood after all the exhausting chore of Clear Now entered the servants' quarters, found her bed and fell asleep like a mass.
" And this is how Chapter 1 on the story of Prince Blueblood exchanging body happens, it falls asleep and ... do you have any ideas for the following my dear games and your readers? By the way, before you leave, you do not find it a thousand long years on the moon you? "
Author's Note
I do not know how to do next, if you have any suggestions go for it.
When Blueblood opened his eyes believing or rather hoping it was only a dream, the cruel truth hit him. He was not in bed but a kind of empty dormitory. So tired by the usual chores of the maids, Blueblood had skipped the meals of the day yesterday.
His stomach was shouting famine making loud noises that could wake up a deaf person. Dejected but still hungry, Blueblood went to the royal kitchens.
No sooner did he get his muzzle out of the dormitory, than the imposing Clear Now stood before him with a severe look on his face preventing him from passing.
" Excuse me, could you be so kind as to move so that I can go to my breakfast? "
" Of course, your royal highness! Shoeshine stop your idiocy. You know that there are at least three hours you should be up. I was just going to get you. Now hurry up! "
" Wait, I did not eat anything at all yesterday! "
" Your business does not interest me, you only had to eat with the other maids at the usual time. The clock is ticking, I do not want anyone to blame me for being late. "
" Late for what? "
" You forgot? "
Clear Now's already angry voice became even more threatening.
" ...Yes. "
" The fabrics you have to go to Lord Velvet Glove and Silver Glove. You know, the famous stylist of whom all Canterlot speaks. You are an idiot. "
" I did not remember it anymore. "
" You tell them that when you go to see them two hours late and again if you leave the castle at once. Idiot of an earth pony, unable to operate their neurons. Come follow me! "
Blueblood, forced by the imposing unicorn Clear Now, found herself following her to the entrance to the various goods where a cart was. Inside, there was a multitude of pieces of fabric of all colors coming from Saddle Arabia by the strange textures that they produced there.
Before Blueblood could react, Clear Now lifted a harness attached to the cart in question which she placed on Blueblood's back and then sat on the passenger seat of the cart.
" Advance before I use the whip. "
" What? "
" I laugh but hurry because if this cart is not there before noon, you'll have a bad time after delivery believes me. "
" Take off that ridiculous harness or I ..."
" I have a whip! "
" I advance. Do not use it, please. "
Blueblood forced by Clear Now, moved forward despite the heavy cart he was pulling. Together, they crossed almost all of Canterlot. Then they finally arrived at their destination. Blueblood collapsed on the floor, panting with fatigue.
" Stand idle, stand straight and say nothing else ..."
" Well, Mrs. Clear Now. "
The Glove family home was a grand mansion with a beautiful courtyard at the entrance where two large guavas grow to the left and right of the main entrance. A handsome pony maid with a blue coat and a pink mane were waiting for them watching a watch hanging on one of these hooves.
" You are late. "
" Forgive us, but that stupid idiot did not wake up on time. Do not worry, she will be punished. "
" I hope. " She said looking up and down with that little upper air.
" Now follow me! " Pursue the unicorn mare of the mansion.
The mare led them through a multitude of rooms, each of which was more beautiful and grand, to the place where Mister and Madam Glove were. The maid Blueblood could not leave her eyes told them to stay in front of the door to see if the Gloves could receive them.
Moments of silence later, the door opened where the mare of a moment ago told them to enter. Clear Now was anxious enough to meet nobility with the problem of fabric delay.
In the Versailles-style room, there was a stallion with a brown coat and a yellow mane wearing a top hat and an eyeglass, and a green and pink tuxedo painting in front of him a light gray mare with a violet mane sitting on a pile of cushion taking the pose.
The two stopped and looked at the two arrivals with deep rancor but the stallion looked at Blueblood, the more it turned his angry face into a smug smile. The mare looked at Blueblood with disgust at the fact that he was an earth pony, he supposed. Finally, the silence lingering, Clear Now decided to break it :
" Please excuse Ms. Velvet Glove and you, Mr. Silver Glove for the delay, but this maid did not realize it was time to make the delivery and ..."
" No matter, the tissues are there. That's all that matters, is not it? "
" Darling! "
" Yes, would there be a problem, darling? "
" Come! I would like to talk to you about depriving it. You two discharges the fabrics and bring them back where our house pony deems it fit to put them. "
" Well, Mrs. Velvet Glove! Come help me Shoeshine! "
" Shoeshine ..."
The stallion daydreamed lazily watching Blueblood who felt more and more uncomfortable under the intense gaze of this jerk.
" Right now, Mrs. Clear Now. "
After discharging the entire fabric of the cart. Blueblood and Clear Now were about to leave when Silver Glove at the extreme limit of running came screaming for attention.
" Excuse me for disturbing ladies, can I borrow your lovely Shoeshine for a moment? "
" Of course Mr. Silver Glove. "
Clear Now warned Blueblood if he dared to say anything to Silver Glove.
" I intend to make you my new Shoeshine muse, do you agree? "
" What ?? " Blueblood and Clear Now launched in unison.
" I know that the offer seems a bit special and will require your entire home. So you will have to stop working there to get settled here. Of course, you will be paying, staying and fed! "
Blueblood hesitated, he looked at Clear Now, who looked at him annoyed at having been Silver Glove's choice and not her, and then looked at the stallion she barely knew.
They would avoid the work of servants but on the other side, she did not know him. Knowing Clear Now's vengeance if she were alone with her, Blueblood accepted the offer without really thinking too much about it.
" Fantastic darling, really fantastic. I feel we are going to get along well together. "
Then Clear Now thrust Blueblood on the floor bluntly and then started pulling the cart, glaring at him. Silver Glove pretended not to have seen it and took it to a space dedicated to his new host. In the mini apartment were all the rooms you would expect in a luxury apartment.
Silver Glove showed him a wide series of dresses and asked Blueblood to wear a yellow with green polka dots and asked him to show up in the big living room.
Once alone in the luxury room, Blueblood sighed relieved to no longer work as a common servant. However, the idea of wearing a dress made him very uncomfortable. Suddenly, the door slammed shut and Velvet Glove entered looking at him visibly upset not to say enraged.
" You think that by stirring your rump you will steal my dirty maid! I'm Velvet Glove, the greatest fashion designer of all Equestria and I tell you right now, I would not allow a pony as low as you seduce my husband who is so ... Whatever, I'm his muse and it's not you who will replace me a bastard. "
Irritated Velvet Glove turned red with Blueblood hitting anger in the face so loudly for a unicorn.
" Listen to me, you're going to tell my husband that you do not want to be his muse anymore, or I'll hurt you. Including? "
" Including. "
Blueblood whine is about to cry under the effect of the slap. He was really afraid of what a mare like he could do to him.
Blueblood, once again humiliated, found herself leaving the house to return to the castle. Clear Now, who seemed to be waiting for her to come in, told her in a tone all the happiest as if she was going to get married today that she could be considered dismissed and that she was going to have to find another place to sleep tonight.
Blueblood who had no money on him and who logically could not afford the hotel for the night should sleep outside. He began to cry cowering over himself crying over his sad fate. He cried and made his sleeve on the entrance to the Canterlot bridge. The night came and Blueblood began to feel hungry. He got up and fell tired falling asleep on the pavement alone in the falling night where it was raining.
He dreamed of being lifted and then put in a nice warm blanket where he heard a continuous sound of the trotting hoof. He finally wakes up to discover a teal blanket surrounding him from all sides. He discreetly removed the blanket from his eyes and faced him, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor chatting quietly not having seen him.
The place where they stood was very much like a carriage. He decided on the presentations to say nothing about the fact that he was Blueblood having seen the reaction of his aunt Luna. Looking outside through one of the windows, he noticed that it was still dark. Fatigue finally took over and he fell asleep in a soft and deep sleep warm at the bottom of his soft blanket. Her loud snoring silenced Cadence and Shining Armor who laughed at hearing a mare snoring so loudly.
When Blueblood woke up again, it was carried by a guard in the castle. He was comfortably seated on the back of the guard who was still following his way despite his heavy load in addition to the armor.
He looked discreetly at the guard's field of vision and saw Shining Armor and Cadence accompanied by other guards discussing all sorts of things. Then the guard on which he was turned in his direction but Blueblood had time to close his eyes. Cadence was his best chance to meet Celestia. Rumors that he had heard, Cadence and Shining Armor were visiting Canterlot for their holidays.
They arrived in the wing of the castle reserved for the guests. There, the guard put it gently on a soft bed and left. The minutes passed without a sound. Blueblood opened his eyes certainly now that there was no one left in the room, he noticed a room all that was banaler in the castle with a window overlooking a moonless night where it was still raining.
He decided he did not want to sleep, but tired of waiting for dawn to see what the future was all about. He thought of Shoeshine in his body, which must have slept well now. Three o'clock in the morning was posted on the clock above the door leading to the hallway.
" The night will belong. " He thought, staring at the clock.
In the morning, finally, and with the rays of the sun on his face, Blueblood woke up not realizing he had gone back to sleep last night.
He made his toilet brushing his mane and coat all mismatched and went out. A guard who was waiting for him at the entrance to the door told him with an amiable smile that the Princess Cadence wished to speak to him and briefly told him how he had ended up here.
Blueblood followed the cheerful guard about the foal he had just had with his mare - he kept talking to smothering Blueblood. They ended up arriving in a small room where Shining Armor and Cadence were quietly taking their breakfast on a small crystal table. The guard said goodbye to Blueblood and left, the couple greeted him with a friendly invitation to join them to eat.
Blueblood felt uncomfortable between these two so powerful characters, who was now nothing more than a mere pony earth mare. Shining Armor began the discussion despite the bread and jam that he still chewed.
" Hello, my name is Shining Armor and here is my mare, Princess Cadence, we came from the Crystal Kingdom to Canterlot for a bit of rest when Princess Celestia asked us to take you to our service, we would pick you up when we have completely fallen asleep at the entrance of the city. Forgive my rudeness, but what's your name? "
" Shoeshine." Hesitated slightly.
" Excuse my husband if he is slightly too direct. When I saw you out wet in the middle of the night in the rain, I decided to take you back here so that nothing happens to you. " Cadence said bouncy.
" Thanks, Princess. "
" Do not call me so pompously, Cadence will suffice. What would you say to work for us? We do not commit to anything concrete and you can keep this room as long as you like while waiting to find a job. "
" Thanks, Cadence, but why all this generosity to someone like me? "
"Someone like you? But it's only natural, everypony would do it. With your consent, we could go do some shopping to change your mind today? "
" I don't have money. " Blueblood said, praying internally that she would not offer him any.
" Don't worry, everything is on my account for purchases and do not worry about the prices, it does not matter. "
" Really? " Blueblood said with a hint of greed in his voice.
" Yes. Looks like it does not make you happy? "
" Of course if Prince ... Cadence but I could buy everything I want? "
" Of course, Cadence is nicknamed the shopping princess after the princess of love. You can buy everything your heart desires. " Intervene Shining engulfed yet another sandwich since the beginning of the conversation.
" Shining, stop! You should eat something before leaving Shoeshine. We must prevent this glutton from eating everything. " " Leave immediately? "
" Yes, after breakfast, I want to spend a nice day with my new friend. "
" In that case. " Blueblood began to swallow even faster than Shining Armor, the toast on the table which made the young couple laugh.
Shortly after, Cadence and Shoeshine roamed the city under the glittering scarlet reflections of the Sun illuminating Canterlot's houses with its fine, gilding glow. The pavers, as well as the ambient air, were still wet and cool but not enough to prevent going out.
" Where do you want to begin Shoeshine? "
" I don't know. " Replied Blueblood pondering a way out of too feminine shopping.
" Shopping in this case. I am sure that with a beautiful dress you will make an impression of stallions. " "Exactly, I do not want ..."
"Or at the spa? You would need a good makeover after that night out. "
Despite the many protests of Blueblood on this place much too feminine to his taste despite his current position. The pink alicorn took him to the spa, where Blueblood felt badly right in front of all those lovely mares in front of him now.
A pink mare with brown mane took care of their payment and chose a menu. Blueblood had hoped to stay with Cadence the time of this ordeal but he found himself in a massage room where an orange stallion with a green mane who was undoubtedly the masseur given his brand of a cutie. The blueblood mare lay down on the massage table where a relaxing massage suite ensued.
Then he found himself again with Cadence all relaxed like chewing gum. They settled in a mud bath where Cadence was waiting for Shoeshine to relax a little before announcing the rest of the program.
" Shoeshine, I know you do not like to be pompously but I think you have to be beautiful! So I took the extra for you. "
" You mean ... the whole body of the makeup and hairstyle? "
"Among other things. "
" Cannot we just cancel? "
" I'm afraid not, but I'm sure that after trying it, you will not go away. "
Cadence giggled inwardly, forcing a mare like Shoeshine to make herself beautiful for the stallions is the least the princess of love can do, she thought. A special pony in Shoeshine's life would do her the greatest good after the hardships she had to go through. Cadence's plot was marching because although it was annoying, Shoeshine could not refuse the princess's love to take care of her.
After all sorts of horrible creams and essential oils on all the body, Blueblood finally thought he could get away with it when Cadence told him they were going to a chic Canterlot clothing store.
After brief teleportation that Blueblood was used to after Luna randomly sent her to a Canterlot garbage truck after her speech against her. The two mares arrived at the entrance of the shop where a mare holding the entrance offered to show them the whole range of clothing. Cadence agreed with joy as Blueblood sighed deeply.
Seeing all the dresses sometimes it is necessary to say it daring of the store, Blueblood prayed internally so that Cadence passes the radius of the dresses without trying. One of these ancient conquests had once succeeded in pushing him into a mare's clothing store. And they had spent all afternoon without finally taking one.
Unfortunately, Cadence seemed fascinated by all that dress show watching him furtively whispering things about Shoeshine's rump.
All this made Blueblood uncomfortable. The host's mare, who was making a quick introduction to the shop, seemed to be looking at him carefully, seeming to glance at him. Then at the end of the visit before Cadence drag Blueblood in a fitting room, the mare of the visit although she seemed nervous.
" Madam, excuse me for disturbing you and your royal highness, but it turns out that we are looking for mares to model. Would you like it? "
" Model? " Among all the crazy thoughts Blueblood had on Shoeshine, the model would never have come to mind.
" It's wonderful Shoeshine, I'm sure Celestia will be delighted to hear that you already have a job! " Cadence said delighted.
" Wait, I did not say yes! "
" It's like it's done, who would not dream of posing for celebrities like Photo Finish or whatever. "
" It's not my thing! "
" Please, miss, think of the opportunity that could be for you. I know you have put under stress but think about it. Here, I give you my address if you want to contact me otherwise leave me a message if I'm not there. "
" Okay. "
" Shoeshine, now it's time to try the dresses! "
" No, pity. "
"And however yes. "
And so began the very embarrassing dress fitting of Blueblood. The mare of the reception remained there, looking with them at the different dresses advising colors and patterns that looked pretty with Shoeshine's coat. Again one eternity later in the store, they found nothing.
Then for lunch, the two mares stopped in a small restaurant where they served delicious hay pasta. Blueblood was very attracted to Cadence and could not look away from the lovely mare. Cadence did not seem to notice, and both were eating spaghetti when a distant stallion's voice came.
" Mrs. Shoeshine, finally I find you when I learned what my mare did to you. I went looking for you but you were no longer in the castle and ... "
" Calm down. " Cadence said softly
" Don't worry, my apologies, princess for this brutal interruption, but it is very important for me to talk to Mrs. Shoeshine. Mrs. Shoeshine, I know we do not know each other but how about living with me? I filed for divorce with Velvet Glove and I know that I love you like I never liked nopony. "
"..." Blueblood had turned red at this statement and at the same time embarrassed that Cadence was here to wait.
" It's great Shoeshine. " Cried Cadence excitedly." Great. " Ironically Blueblood said that the two took others as truth.
" My heart is celebrating Mrs. Shoeshine, would you allow me to call you only Shoeshine? "
" Of course but ..."
" I seem to become a pegasus waiting for those sweet words to my souls. "
" Tell me Shoeshine, did not you tell me you had a special pony? "
" But it's not... "
" When you appeared before me... "
"Are you going to sing? " Asked Blueblood redder than a tomato looking around to see if they were being watched.
The song of Velvet Glove
" Celestia, it's going to be a long week. " Said Blueblood burying his head under the hooves on the table while the song continued with strange ponies also starting to sing the idiotic song of that idiot Silver Glove.
Finally, after the end of the song, Silver Glove left, humming a little festive tune. Cadence, who had mingled with the song, joined Blueblood, angry, still seated on the terrace.
" Something is wrong Shoeshine? "
" It's nothing! May we go to see Princess Celestia? It's important enough. "
" Of course, what is it? "
" It's pretty private. "
" We are friends, you can tell me everything. "
" I do not feel like it! "
" Please? "
" No, now stop. "
" Calm, no need to get upset. If it bothers you, I will not ask you anymore. "
" Thank you. "
Cadence called a taxi, and she and Blueblood both left for the castle in complete silence. Then when they arrived in the courtyard of the castle, they went down, Blueblood felt quickly observed by a whole band of stallions fixing it continuously.
How could a mare endure all those looks all day long? He returned to reality where Cadence continued to advance without him. Not wishing to be alone in the yard with all those peer eyes focused on him, Blueblood hastened.
They arrived at last before the gilded doors of the great hall of the throne. Every second that passed, Blueblood felt his heart resonate throughout his being. Cadence would explain to the guards posted there who opened the door leaving only Blueblood to enter.
In front of him, sitting on his throne raised by a multitude of steps stands from an inspiring posture to trust, Princess Celestia and also Blueblood's aunt.
This one did not seem in the least surprised by the arrival of this one. She motioned him to come forward with the same gentle smile he always knew.
" Hello, I'm sorry for your part of the night in the rain. I see that now with my care you are in the good hoof. But I go astray, what do you want? "
" Aunt Celestia, you who have always been good to me. Could you help me become Blueblood again and punish the one who pretends to be me? "
" I'm disappointed Blueblood, I was expecting you to understand the lesson but I have the impression but it seems to me that you have difficulty in perceiving it through your pride. "
" Disappointed with what? I know I'm not very nice to this mare but it's not a reason, she will find another stallion who wants her rump. "
" Blueblood. " Celestia said gritting her teeth at Blueblood's speech." Sorry if I annoy you aunt Celestia, but that kind of mare is used to having multiple stallions in her bed. "
" Blueblood enough, I thought I was dealing with a stallion with a brain other than helium, but as Luna often says about you, you're just an interested person who always wants more. I was thinking of transforming you today but you are not worthy of being my nephew. I put you at Shoeshine's disposal from now on. "
" Aunt ..."
" Enough, guards drive Shoeshine into Blueblood's apartments and tell her that she is now at her disposal day and night. "
" What, are you going to let me get stuck in that ridiculous maid's body? I demand that you retransform me right away! "
" I do not think you're in a negotiated position! "
Before Blueblood could add anything, two guards grabbed him and lead away from him away despite his multiple protests in those apartments.
The guards pushed him into the room and hastened to explain to Shoeshine the reasons and left. Always on the floor like a common doormat, Blueblood found himself in front of his body watching him standing in a tuxedo.
" I feel that your discussion with Princess Celestia did not go well. "
" Yes, as you could understand, I'm stuck with you! "
" I do not think so, Princess Luna wants you tonight at your service for a subject that is important. She knew that you would come back here after your conversation with Princess Celestia. And she told me about the interview. "
" Right now? "
" She said as soon as possible. "
" Please, do not leave me with this fury! "
" The princess would be angry at me, she told me to put that to you before you go to meet him. "
" No, everything but not that. "
And so thanks to Shoeshine's new magic, Blueblood was forced to put on a white dress with a red knot that squeezed it terribly and highlighted these attributes. Then Shoeshine asked a Blueblood escort guard at Princess Luna's apartment and then gave Cadance a letter saying that this one is now taken over by Blueblood.
After a silent journey with the guard to Luna's room, he went back to deposit the letter he had been given. The ponies beat him open and closed him immediately after his entry.
He discerned light from the balcony to which he was heading. Luna sat in front of a beautiful wooden table reading a Canterlot fashion magazine.
When she saw her host, a smile lit and before he could add anything, she said in a voice still strong enough:
" Shoeshine is here! "
Immediately a silhouette emerged from the shadow that was none other than that idiot Silver Glove all smug in front of him. Then Luna lit two candles in front of the table and she put two cards to choose the menu.
" What is all this? "
" After Cadence told me about your fledgling relationship with Silver Glove, I managed to celebrate with a great meal, a great view of Canterlot Illuminate and your special pony. "
" I can not thank you enough for doing what you do for me and Shoeshine when we are hardly at home. I promise to paint you if your heart tells you one of these days. "
" I am delighted that you like my initiatives, I hope that my surprise delight you so much Shoeshine? "
" I am pleased. "
Blueblood dreamed of strangling this Luna for him to simmer such a twisted blow but he knew it would be better for him not to do it because :
After everyone had ordered their orders and Luna went to prepare them not wanting to disturb the cooks in the middle of the night, Silver Glove chatted quietly without any awareness of the current situation.
Blueblood was desperately searching for a way to escape. Luna returned with the requested dishes although a little charred on the top.
" Excuse me for the dishes, I did it as soon as possible. "
" Don't need to apologize, princess, you already do so much for us. "
" I would not eat this thing. " Blueblood said hoping to take Luna off his eyes.
" I'm going to remove the side burning miss shoeshine, if you allow. "
" I want another plate. "
" Very well. " Replied Luna annoyed.
Then Luna left where she had come from.
" Don't you think you're going a little hard? She is doing her best to make this evening perfect, you know. "
" I don't care. "
Blueblood was hoping to be mean enough that Silver Glove would no longer be attracted by him.
" You know, when I look at you, I see an ocean of pink. "
" I ... Thank you. "
And here is Silver Glove who suddenly embraces Blueblood passionately with a crazy love. Blueblood stepped away quickly, turned red as he kissed him.
" But where are you crazy? "
" I'm sorry, I thought ..."
" What do you think? I'm going to fall in love with a guy like you! Are you missing neurons or what? "
" I... "
Luna reappeared at that moment with a big salad well saucΓ©e on a plate with gilding.
" A problem? "
" This stallion trying to kiss me. "
" It's normal if you're in love. " " I'm not in love with this poor guy. "
" Shoeshine, I am very sorry if I went too fast and burned the steps. Please, give me a second chance. "
" No. "
Then running as fast as he could, he fled to his room to be buried under an avalanche of clothing once the door of his room closed. In her room, a multitude of feminine clothes of all kinds was found. Shoeshine, reading a book on his bed, spoke to him without even bothering to look in his direction.
" I am registered for the fashion show. I always dreamed of having pictures of me in these gossips. "
" No, I will not participate! "
" Make me happy. "
" No, take back your stupid body if you care so much and do it. I would not go put on those outfits. "
" I would have tried. "
Blueblood found herself up in the air and was forced to put on a very attractive two-piece yellow and blue cheerleader outfit.
" Now? "
"Take off that !!! "
" No. "
Then Blueblood was released from the embrace of his old horn. He tried to remove the suit by any means trying to tear it with force.
" So? "
" No, I'll spend my night like that if I have to, but I will not go to the parade. "
" The stallions you visited will be delighted. "
" What? "
Blueblood found himself instantly in the game of a basketball team with a crowd staring at his mysterious appearance and also his rump.
" Hello. " He said shyly.
Everyone was waiting for a fantastic spin followed by words of encouragement to the team that played the match.
" Come on guys. " A general hoot ensued under these simple words without even an attempt to make a pirouette.
Then he teleported himself back to a tavern where a lot of heads turned to him. Several stallions accosted him for late nights whose Blueblood never wanted to know the issue.
Then under the effect of fear, he cowered and began long sobs to find himself back in his room.
" So, did the stay please you? "
" Whatever you want, never make me experience such a nightmare! "
" What you call a nightmare is simply the life of a mare when she finds herself in very high stallions! Now that you say yes, could you try that dress? "
Blueblood began to breathe a long sigh. All these dresses to try would take time ie all night. Shoeshine was taking pictures of him from every angle asking for poses that went with the fitting.
Then around three in the morning, half of the dresses had been trying. Blueblood collapsed on the mattress snuggling unconsciously against Shoeshine who was not sleeping yet.
" Goodnight My darling. "
Says Shoeshine kissing Blueblood on the forehead putting under the covers and turning off the bed.
Luna was talking late at the night about what to do about Blueblood with her sister without reaching a common agreement. Celestia reproached him for having broken the heart of Silver Glove by this meeting with the heartless Blueblood.
For her part, she could not bear to part with this affair and not to have learned it from Celestia herself. These divisions had already caused many misfortunes, but the ponies forget too quickly the fatal error that leads to this misfortune.
In his mansion without light, Silver Glove cried as only love is so good. Alone, without the least servant who had all finished their days.
He had hoped that this meal by candlelight would happen at best but his rush to his fiery love was his lost his bride.
It would give Shoeshine time to forgive her mistake. He would wait until ... tomorrow because the night brings advice as Luna often says. I would not say that.
Author's Note
To give you an idea of the parade outfits.
In the morning, Blueblood woke up with a hoof shaking him violently. As soon as he opened his eyes, Shoeshine looked at him and stopped shaking him.
" Are you coming for breakfast? "
" I come. "
" You're not the type to get up early? "
" Indeed. "
" For our outing in town, I would like us to play the role of a young married couple! "
" Why? "
" So that I can attend the parade. You have not found another pony to deceive since our break is not it? "
" No. " He sighed. Then he and she got dressed properly and then went out into town.
They first went to a chic cafe frequented by many nobles despite the vain protests of Blueblood not wanting to be seen in the company of Shoeshine. They quietly took their breakfast under the indignant eyes of the nobles seeing a pony on the ground the same table as Blueblood.
He already saw his reputation skyrocketed with the nobles. Upper Crust and Velvet Glove, who was in the restaurant at the same table, were talking badly at the false Shoeshine.
The husband of Upper Crust seemed to be there what was foreign to the couple that was usually inseparable. Shoeshine in one day had already learned all the rules of decency at the table which was remarkable given all the rules to follow.
Blueblood had more difficulty knowing only the rules of the noble stallions. He had to let Shoeshine pull him off the chair and sit down. It annoyed him terribly.
This situation made him angry in a way he had never known before. He was a polite stallion and well educated sadly surrounded by a fool band which had earned him this shameful situation.
Blueblood stared at his boiling plate of anger but refrained from sending it to Shoeshine's face. He was not very kind to her, hoping to know true love with him.
Deep within him, a flame in the emptiness of his heart shone for Shoeshine. Yet he was afraid of it, he did not want his image to be dirty!
Shoeshine who, even though she had all authority over him, was chatting cheerfully with him in the restaurant. Even if he would not want to be seen with a pony. He was happy although angry just a few seconds ago.
Happy to be with Shoeshine, to eat and ...
" You are fine? It's been a few minutes since you set your plate without eating anything! We can postpone the fitting for the parade until tomorrow if that worries you so much. "
" It's nothing, excuse me for having worried you, I was thinking! "
" What? No trap, I hope. "
" I wanted to apologize for my behavior ... you know? "
" Naughty? I confirm. "
" Could we start all over again, please? "
" I do not know. "
" Please! " Blueblood said with his eyes as cute as possible when he was a child.
" Okay, but more of a circle and stop doing that by being in my body! "
" Promise. "
" Pinkie promise? "
" Yes. "
Then still under the eyes of the two mares, they took the end of their breakfast and went to the store where Blueblood and Cadence had gone.
" How did you know? " Blueblood asked curiously at Shoeshine.
" Know what? "
" For the parade. "
" Cadence told me about you while you were talking to Princess Celestia. "
" Okay, thank you for answering my question. "
" You're welcome, my dear. "
Then they passed by the back of the building where was a small amphitheater with a scene. Cadence and the last-time shop mare were waiting for them sitting on chairs in front of the stage.
Upon arrival, Blueblood was greeted by a hug from the store's mare named Moonshadow Sprint written in big letters about her workwear that Blueblood had not paid attention to last time. He rarely looked at anything but himself.
Finally, after she released him, she thanked him how many times she explained that she had only managed to invite her because of her great timidity. Her boss was at risk of sending her away if she had not managed to find at least one supernumerary.
All happy, she kissed Blueblood on the cheek then realizing her gesture flinched like a tomato. Then he went off looking for the outfits of the parade.
Not knowing where to sit, Blueblood and Shoeshine sat next to Cadence in the empty chair-filled room.
Moonshadow Sprint came back with three huge, colorful chests all filled with clothing. All looked at him smiling until the tooth.
" All? "
" Yes, with the clothes that the guards went to get in your room. " Cadence replied, levitating a cup of tea that she was slowly drinking taking the time between sips.
" But it will take hours! "
" Please Mrs. Shoeshine, please. If you do not do it, I'll end up on the street and ... " Moonshadow Sprint started crying.
" Okay, but I can not do a parade alone! "
" The parade is canceled, we do not have enough candidates. We will only take pictures and videos of you in a ... hundreds of dresses. Please, said yes. " Moonshadow Sprint said looking at him with a face imploring pity!
" It's good but does not count on me for the dresses a little too much ... Do you understand me? "
" Promise."
" Can we start now? "The authoritarian voice of Moonshadow Sprint replied now disguised as a filmmaker with a beret and a green uniform with a speaker.
" How did you change in so little ..."
" Oh that, something that some pink mare taught me. Now dressed you then parade on the stage, we will quickly chain. Questions? " She said answering with the speaker. Cadence raises his hoof.
" Yes princess? "
" Can you stop screaming in this speaker? " Cadence shouted even louder than the speaker.
" Sorry Princess, ready Shoeshine? " Moonshadow Sprint said shamefully removing his speaker, who had become shy again.
Thus began the parade, which was no longer one. Moonshadow Sprint quickly made up Blueblood and finally started. At the top of the stage on a platform, Silver Glove watched hate the stallion who had stolen his promise.
At the end of the performance after hours of parade late in the afternoon, all the dresses had been tested. Blueblood was happy to have finally finished trying everything and was about to leave Cadence and Shoeshine outside when suddenly he heard a voice echoing behind him.
" Hold on! "
When he turned around, Moonshadow Sprint, who had finished arranging the costumes, was moving again timidly towards him.
" Yes? "
" I wanted to thank you for having wanted to do the fitting for me. "
" You're welcome it was a pleasure. " He lied.
" You do not know what that means to me! Moonshadow Sprint squeezed Blueblood once more in a hug expressing gratitude for him.
" I assure you it did not bother me, could you let me go now? "
" Sorry, sorry, I did not want to hurt you! I wanted to ask you before leaving if ... "
" If what? "
" If you... "
" What? "
" ... Would you like to become my friend? "
Moonshadow Sprint looked at him with such pity that Blueblood could not resist.
" Okay, it's a pleasure! "
" Thank you a thousand times, see, I'm a little shy and I have a little trouble talking to others. You're my first friend, I'm sure we'll have a good time together. I invite you to drink in a cafΓ© if you agree unless you have planned something with your special pony and Princess Cadence? " She said with grief.
" It's okay, I'm coming with you. I'm sure Shoes ... Blueblood and Princess Cadence will understand. "
" Thanks again Shoeshine, I can call you only Shoeshine not true? I am so happy. "
Blueblood and his new friend Moonshadow Sprint came out of the store where at the entrance, Cadence and Shoeshine were waiting for them. Blueblood quickly explained that Moonshadow Sprint would spend some time together in a cafe.
Shoeshine whispered in his ear that if he drank a single drop of cider while in his body, she would punish him accordingly. Blueblood did not want to see the sanction she insinuated quite heavily.
" Let's go? " Said the purple mare with the silvery mane jumping with joy. Blueblood said yes, they bid farewell and then they both wandered through the streets of Canterlot looking for a nice cafe.
It was just getting dark while Moonshadow Sprint was talking about everything and nothing without stopping once.
Blueblood thought she was really cute with her carelessness when she spoke like a filly discovering every little insignificant thing for Blueblood. It was a very pretty unicorn that did not leave Blueblood indifferent again.
Blueblood then thought of his Aunt Celestia who was angry at him for Shoeshine who did not abuse the situation and his kindness despite having rejected him as Aunt Luna.
After a while in the city, the two mares arrived in front of a cafe with a purple and blue-green window. A mare who looked like Twinkleshine was holding the crate and a gray mare Pegasus with eyes that looked at each other in opposite directions asked them what he wanted to eat.
" A cream coffee for me! "
" The same. "
" Noted. " The waitress said Blueblood stared curiously.
" I specify that I pay the bill! " Moonshadow Sprint said swelling his chest with pride.
" Thanks, that's nice. "
" You're welcome, that's what friends are for! " Blueblood was touching the generosity of Moonshadow Sprint he barely knew he shed a little tear. Cadence had also offered him a whole lot of things, but Cadence was Cadence.
" Why are you crying? Did I say something bad? I am sorry! "
" No, that's not it, it's just that you're so nice. Do you see people around me these days have not all been very nice? "
" Yet Cadence and this other stallion are nice to you. "
" Yes, but it's not about them I'm talking about. "
" From whom? "
" I'm not too eager to talk about it. What if you told me about you? "
Finally, Blueblood and Moonshadow Sprint talked for almost two hours when an opaque cart whose interior could not be seen stopped in front of the terrace on which they stood. Two unicorns, a stallion, and a mare caught them in their magic, took them to the cart and tied them up.
Moonshadow Sprint is anti-magic on his horn before he can attempt anything. The truck started quickly before anyone could intervene. It ends up disappearing in the continuous darkness that was now the city at this time.
The waitress by the name of Derpy noticed the kidnapping with the rest of the amazed ponies present on the spot. She slipped into a dark alley and came out as the legendary Detective Mare. The investigation was now launched for her.

For see the game!
As Cadence and Shoeshine returned to the castle gaily chatting about Blueblood's performance.
Shoeshine sighed with relief silently. Cadence did not seem to notice the body swap which seemed almost strange to her who knew Blueblood better than anyone else.
Suddenly, a guard who was obviously running towards them and who seemed really out of breath crashed to the ground because of the paved street. Shoeshine and Cadence came running to help him.
" Princess, I apologize for this unworthy fall of a guard, but I come here to warn you both that Shoeshine and some Moonshadow Sprint have been kidnapping a short time ago! "
" What ?? " They exclaimed." I'm telling you the truth, go get yourself safe while we're looking for the kidnappers your Highness! " " No, I want to help you! " " But Princess, if anything happened to you. Imagine ... "
" I will not stay here doing anything, Blueblood you come? " " Sure. "
On the other side, Derpy, who was carefully examining the scene of the kidnapping and had gone to interview several ponies saw the scene, remembered seeing a brown unicorn stallion with a gray mane and scars with a mare in a blue coat. and a pink mane earth pony.
Which led Derpy who had what she heard from the discussion between Shoeshine and Moonshadow Sprint about the Glove family with whom she disagreed, which made her a suspect potential.
Derpy was leaving the scene of the kidnapping when Shoeshine and Cadence arrived following the guard's instructions that he had gone back to see him because he had not told them where this mysterious kidnapping had taken place.
Finding nothing, they went looking for enemies on Shoeshine's side by asking Clear Now if she knew anything about it.
Derpy, meanwhile, arrived in front of the Gloves mansion where she was introduced to Silver Glove, who sorted things out of his office now that his wife had gone away and the divorce proceedings had begun.
Derpy noticed the presence of a broken pot sign of the rather violent argument in the heart of the couple. He asked her what she wanted in the least kind way possible without even bothering to greet her after noticing those strange eyes which he quickly looked away.
" Hello Mr. Silver Glove, I was going to ask you if you could give me your agenda for today, please? " " No, I will not give it to someone I do not know who is not from the police. Besides, why do you want it? "
" I'm from the police, it's one of my many jobs. Now can I know where you were today because of the Shoeshine kidnapping? "
" What? She was kidnapped? My wonderful Shoeshine, I might never see her again ... " He started crying.
Derpy did not know how to react so she did like when her daughter, Dinky had nightmares at night, she began to hum a song gently caressing.
At that moment, a police team led by Velvet Glove burst into the office.
" What are you doing, miss? "
" I see that my husband is a good comedian! "
" Why do you say that Velvet? " Silver Glove said, still getting tears in his eyes with an ounce of anger in his voice.
" I'm sure you kidnapped her! " " How, I could never hurt her! "
" I do not know if you wanted to hurt him but you're the one here who would kidnap him. I made that assumption to the police and right now they were searching our home now. "
" How could you do that to me! " " You have nothing to hide, do you? So that will not be a problem for you. " " Yes, but you know very well that I hate being searched in my things. "
" I had to learn this during my ten years of living with you before you dropped me for a poor stranger who does not come from Equestria knows where. "
" But I love her, she. " " Stupid stallion. "
" Could you stop arguing, please? Mrs. Glove, I'm glad Shoeshine's kidnapping is close to your heart but ... " She was interrupted.
" I found her, she was unconscious dressed in rags in an old prison cellar. " One of the policemen shouted, pulling Shoeshine's insensitive body out of the cellar.
" Mr. Glove, I'm disappointed! " " How did she get there? I swear to you all that I am not aware of anything. "
" And the other is with her? " Asked the brigade chief.
Blueblood woke up in the company of a doctor, turning it around and heading back and forth in a cart that kept ongoing. He was in a kind of removable bed in hospital patient's clothes.
He tried to think about what was happening to him but these thoughts drifted from nothing to anything. A headache prevented him for the moment from concentrating on anything. One of the doctors who had seen him woke up was talking to him but he could not understand. Finally, exhausted as he was, he went to sleep a few minutes after waking up in the ambulance.
Shoeshine and Cadence, who thought she was a princess, had been repacked by Clear Now who seemed to hate Shoeshine for some reason.
They later learned of the discovery of Shoeshine in the basement of the Gloves and went straight to the hospital.
Derpy, who was drawing on his notepad of smiling ponies besides the house with a sun interrupted by the inspector who asked for his attention, explained to him his hypothesis on this strange affair.
" With what we know, Mr. Glove is sponsoring the kidnapping, he said he went to watch her at the parade and then went home.
They put a bag that we found in the basement on the head of Shoeshine so that she does not see his face and then knocked him out as a preventive measure.
According to his wife, he planned to leave for a while outside Canterlot. " Concluded the inspector.
" Excuse me inspector but it's not logical! If Shoeshine is his special pony, why would he hurt him by knocking him out? " " To not be seen. "
" But how important if he wanted to live with her anyway. " " You are right. "
" Besides, he would never have put rags on him if he loved him. This would be a gesture of humiliation on the part of someone who hates her. " " Do not forget that she has to refuse to be her special pony. " " In that case, why would it be giving so much harm? "
" I don't know Mrs. Derpy, you're pretty good at seeing you practicing this job for two weeks. "
" I looked a lot at Canterlot's expert investigations. But I have one last question. " " Which? "
" How could Mrs. Glove suspect that Mr. Glove would hide it at home? " " Strange coincidence, is not it? " " Indeed. "
Shortly afterward at the police station, Derpy with the commissioner wanted to confront Ms. Glove with the evidence that implicated her :
" I don't see what I'm doing in this interrogation inspector! A mare of my rank should not be in such a sordid place. " " Sordid? " Derpy was confused." You understood me perfectly. I demand to get out of here. "
" Mrs. Glove, I'm afraid you're not going anywhere until you've answered some of my questions. " The inspector said, taking a serious tone.
" How did you know that your husband had removed Shoeshine? " " Ex-husband, he was in love to the point of being able to, so I assumed it. "
" And how did you suppose she was hidden at home? " " Where would he hide it? "
" And on intuition, you send a whole police squad home? " " I ... I wanted to do it quickly to avoid any risk of flight from him. "
" How do you explain the rags on Shoeshine. " " Revenge of their breaks, perhaps? " " A question, Mrs. Glove, can I find out what's your favorite food? "
" I do not see the link! " " Answer, please. " " The pancakes. " " Another question then, Mrs. Glove, can I know how you make your pancakes? "
" With a stove. " " You mean like the one that served to knock out Shoeshine and we found to hide in your kitchen. " " What? This maid must be in the same way with my husband. "
" Still, she seems to say that you asked him. " " No, not at all. Why would I do that? "
" To indict your husband of attempted kidnapping and thus send him to prison. Still not getting a divorce, you would have his fortune and as a bonus, you put him away from Shoeshine as revenge. The crime was perfect! "
" What you say is absurd. " " Mrs. Glove, please. Tell us where is the other mare who was kidnapped. "
" If you don't tell us anything, your maid will be happy to tell you everything and ease her detention sentence. " Said Derpy eating a muffin." Very well. She's locked in the garden shed of my house. "
" Do you think we should tell her that her maid was never stopped and that she had time to run away? " Derpy whispered to the inspector." Let's wait first to find this poor mare. "
The police eventually find Moonshadow Sprint attached to a chair. She was examined and no doctor found any injuries outside the stove.
Blueblood who sometimes, after all, this adventure had ended up getting back was visited by Moonshadow Sprint, Derpy, Detective Only Shards, Cadence and Shining Armor with Shoeshine.
The day of his leaving the hospital had finally sounded. With a little courtesy to his aunt, he would succeed after all he has to endure to find his body.
The sun was shining and blinding Blueblood as he left the building. Shoeshine was standing next to him helping him walk properly after those few days in a bed without physical activity. A warm summer breeze stroked his face as the blue sky stood in front of him. Summer was coming.
All the little company decided to enjoy the weather by going to a park for a picnic. During their meals, Shoeshine, who was enjoying a beautiful butterfly diverts the general attention whispered in a whisper:
" I cannot wait to see you in a dress for the Grand Galloping Gala. " " Not even in a dream. " Blueblood muttered eating his sandwich." We'll see. If luna wants it "
Even before Blueblood could react, Shoeshine kissed Blueblood passionately. Everyone sees the action and applauds accordingly. Cadence, who had tears in her eyes, said in a voice full of emotion :
" I wish you eternal happiness and that you will get married and live happily with lovely foals! " " Me too. We would like to get married in your blessing Cadence. " Shoeshine retorted with a smirk to Blueblood.
" With pleasure. All with me. Long live the bride and groom. " And they all drank." I hate you so much when you do that! " Blueblood murmured." I know. " Shoeshine said nicely pulling her tongue.

Lunar aunt
At the end of the day, when everyone wished each other goodnight and went to join their respective home, Blueblood followed Shoeshine who seemed dreamy.
The night was already omnipresent and already the streets were filled with darkness. Ponies lit lanterns on the main street leading to the castle where Shoeshine and Blueblood were.
" Blueblood, I have a question! " Shoeshine intervenes
" If it's on this wedding idea, I'll tell you no to the ceremony. "
" Too bad but no, I have a question about your relationship. Have you ever wanted to found a family? "
" Stable relationships are not my thing as you could see it. "
" Indeed, I have seen that. But why? Do not want to live with the person you love passionately. "
" Who is it? "
" Me? "
" You? Look Shoeshine, I know it was not very clever of me to have you rocked illusion but I'm not in love with you to spend the rest of my life with you! "
" You know what Blueblood is, you're just a boor and me..." She sat down and started to cry.
" Don't Cry! I did not want to hurt you. I'm sorry, I'll help you find someone else and ... "
" Shut up! I do not want to find anyone else. Now come! " She said, standing up and drying her tears.
" But ..."
" Right away, do not forget that Celestia gave me all power over you so if you do not want to find yourself in the bed of a guard, shut up and come! "
On a threatening silence, Prince Blueblood found himself once again humiliated. However, despite the anger that was boiling inside him, Blueblood was restrained seeing the fury on Shoeshine's face.
They decided to take the taxi and arrived at Blueblood's room without a stack of clothes with a bed next to hers with a small letter.
" It was for you, I leave it to you. Do not take this letter too much because what is written in it is no longer relevant. Bad night! " Said Shoeshine pouting hiding under her covers.
Blueblood,
When you read this letter, know that I love you with all my being! Being in my body must be difficult for you and I are sorry! Also, know that I ask Celestia the return of your body once the Grand Galloping Gala past because I would like to spend this evening your company. I must confess that he spends a day without me thinking of you, of us. Also, ask what you wanted and I would do my best to realize it while waiting for this date.
PS: Don't eat anything in my body! I want my figure.
:) Kisses, Shoeshine
When he thought he opened his eyes, he was in front of the door of the throne room of Luna's night council.
Despite his misunderstanding to find himself here, he did not look any further and left by the door. But this one as he walked towards her, went away.
Annoyed by the strange magic that resided here, Blueblood sat down and waited. The room suddenly changed to the office of his demonic aunt who was so scary.
Luna sat on a padded leather chair standing there staring at him with a serious face that he knew only too well to have been the cause of it quite often.
" Blueblood, I wish to apologize for the last time! I behaved like a stupid teenage mare so I would not have to laugh at you. Although the situation is funny. " Luna said apologetically.
" And? "
" And what? "
" That's all? "
" Yes, what else were you waiting for as a discussion with me? "
" Nothing. "
Blueblood to avoid angering his aunt, whom he suspected of hiding a dirty trick, avoided mentioning that it scared him.
" In this case I have a question. What about your relationship with you and Shoeshine? Cadence told me about marriage and foal between you two. "
" Well, Shoeshine a little grow the situation in the hoping I would accept. "
" But you did not want? "I like Shoeshine a lot, she's nice and everything but it's not my special pony! "
" You tell her? "
" Yes, and she took it very badly. "
" I'm sorry for you, can I do something to help you, my nephew? "
Blueblood saw stars light up in those eyes. Her horrible demonic aunt wanted to help him. It would be enough to ask Aunt Luna to retransform it and the trick would be played. There is no need to go to Shoeshine on the knees and avoid further humiliation.
" Could you get me back in my body please aunt Luna, please? "
" Blueblood, I can not do that without consulting my sister. She alone will decide when she thinks you will have understood the lesson. "
" But you are a princess too. You can decide alone without Aunt Celestia necessarily giving her opinion! "
" Blueblood, I'm not going to risk getting angry with Celestia for stories that don't even concern me! "
" Please! "
" No!! Look, I'm not going against my sister's decision, but maybe you want something else? "
Blueblood thinks seriously. What would he want above all else to take back his body? The money would be good but it does not lack as much as all the rest. After a few minutes of reflection, taking into account everything Luna would say no, he found nothing.
" What would you say better to get to know us both? We could give ourselves a better chance to know each other and have a real relationship aunt and nephew? " Proposed Luna.
Blueblood dared not say no but was looking for an excuse or a polite way of saying no. This monster from the moon, even though she offered him help, was scary.
" I conclude this silence as a yes my dear nephew, I will organize an interesting day where we can have fun. Now it's time to leave this dream! "
" That dream? But we are in your office and ... "
" You think? "
Blueblood suddenly woke up sweating in bed. Outside, it was still dark with the same pale light coming from the window on the bed of it.
Beside, Shoeshine slept quietly in Blueblood's bed in a calm manner. What should he think of what he had lived? It was a dream but a random dream or did he talk to his second aunt.
This one, unlike Celestia, although he preferred her in every respect, had been kind to him. With a little persuasion, he could convince her to return his body.
The tiredness of the day before leaving the hospital had made him so tired that barely a minute or two after he woke up, he had fallen asleep again.
In the morning, a sharp shock awoke the latter who had since had no other dream about his aunt whom he can remember.
Shoeshine, who seemed to be in the way she always shook him angrily, spoke to him anxiously. Blueblood still awakes awake did not understand what she said so much the flow of words seemed fast for him.
Finally irritated, she lifted him with magic dressed in maid dress that was too sexy for his taste and ordered him to clean everything in the room.
" Why? " Blueblood said, putting down the bucket of water she had stuffed into her mouth.
" If you do not want to be my special pony then can you at least be a good maid? "
" But I don't want to! "
" There is no question of want! "
" And why is there such a sexy outfit here? "
" Simple revenge. "
A guard entered at that moment, quickly averting the look of the scene unfolding in front of him not wanting to be involved.
" Blueblood, excuse me for upsetting you and Shoeshine but Princess Luna would like to spend a day with her! "
" No problem, you can tell the princess that Shoeshine will come right after finishing the housework. "
" Funny sexy for a maid outfit. "
The two glared at the guard who had allowed himself this very inappropriate reflection. Realizing the two angry looks on him, he quickly detaches pretending to report the arrival of Shoeshine to the princess.
After this humiliating chore in this outfit where Blueblood at the insistence of Shoeshine had to bend a feather duster to the mouth removing the dust from under the furniture, was finally free to go to find Princess Luna.
He went straight to his office where she seemed to be waiting patiently for her reading Canterlot's diary.
Two trays on the desk containing everything you need for a nice breakfast with a cup of tea with a still steaming teapot, honey cakes and a novelty from Cloudsdale based on the principle of a little floating cloud rich in cocoa that had been invented by Discord.
When he arrived, Luna put down his newspaper and looked at him silently as he walked. She was ready on Twilight's advice to forgive Blueblood despite all that he could say about her.
She hoped that her little punishment would make her aware of her natural wickedness towards others.
Blueblood, on this site, was hoping to rub her other aunt with at least royal favors if she could not at least help Celestia change her mind.
As support on some of these great ideas like punishing this mare who had humiliated her at the gala a few years ago.
As he came to the seat in the face of politeness, he waited until Luna allowed him to sit down knowing that she was a follower of the old manners. She smiled and with a friendly nod, invited her to sit down.
" Hello Blueblood, have you slept well? "
" Hello and yes, but I have a question! We are seen in a dream? "
" Indeed. " Luna said raising the cup of tea in her drinking magic with a remarkable distinction.
" I can? " Blueblood asked, pointing at the food on the other tray.
" That's why my dear nephew! I wish as you have no doubt understood in your dream, to spend time with you as a real aunt with her nephew. "
" Yes, I remember, but what are we going to do exactly? "
" What you'll like to do as long as you do not get mean with other ponies! "
" Yes, Aunt Luna. "
" So you do not mind being seen with simple pony earth? "
" I was expecting this question but no, it does not bother me at all. Ponies earth are subjected to my eyes like unicorns or pegasus. "
" That's really what you think without wanting to offend you in the least? " Blueblood asked, catching a slice of jam-laden bread with this hooves.
" Yes, if I had stopped like you at a hierarchy of races between ponies, I would not be worthy of their trusts. If you do not mind, we could talk about something else. This subject makes me feel uncomfortable! "
" As you wish! "
" Do you want help to feed you? Without wanting to hurt your self-esteem, you seem to have problems with this slice of bread! "
" No, I'm not a foal! "
" I said that to help you! So what would you like to do with me? "
This almost naughty question aroused in Blueblood the attraction he had always had on Luna's rump, which he always watched with great attention.
However, she was from her family although more distant than one could ever imagine and in addition to royalty. He just could not afford to kind of thing in his presence.
He regained awareness of the situation when he noticed that she was watching him reflect, continuing to drink his cup of tea. He had to answer but what?
Usually, he would seduce a mare in downtown Canterlot and spend all day with it until the evening. He did not see himself just flirting with mares in this body and even less with Luna. Suddenly, he was cut off in these thoughts :
" We could go to the amusement park that has settled outside Canterlot. The best part of all this is that this one is about the stars!? " Luna said happily.
Finding nothing better and desirous that her aunt is satisfied so that nothing happened to her and although reluctantly, he accepted the proposal.
" I knew you would think it would be a good idea! " She gave him a wink and waited for him to finish eating, which we say was not a success at the end of cleanliness.
In the end, covered with jam as he was. He took a shower with the help of his aunt hairstyle using a brushing mane. Still and as always humiliated for some time. He let slip as the expression says.
Then after the end of the Blueblood bath, the two left in the direction of the amusement park. Blueblood was caught in Luna's magic as she flew away. The trip was of short duration but allowed Blueblood to observe for the first time, Canterlot from the clouds. However, when he arrived, a question came to him:
" Why did we fly from here when we can just teleport? "
" I needed to stretch my wings and I confess that I also wanted to make you enjoy the view that few ponies outside pegasus can admire! "
" Thank you. "
" You're welcome my nephew, now what are we starting with? There are so many attractions here that I'll lose my head! "
Blueblood was amazed to see her lunar aunt usually so dignified behaving like a little filly suddenly exciting. Everyone in the park seemed to examine them. When a pony in the distance says :
" Nice costume! "
Everyone who was watching Luna carefully nodded and returned to their activities.
Luna had not paid much attention to it by taking a map of the amusement park carefully studying each of the attractions on offer. She opted for a nickname 'The Lunar Ascension' while Blueblood looked at cotton candy with envy.
Luna noticed that he bought one, and then both went to the chosen attraction, which outside the mini-map was scary. It was a roller coaster with a final climb rising very high to fall so to speak very low.
As Blueblood recoiled cautiously, Luna pulled her hoof and took her to one of the machine's seats. No one daring to risk the attraction, there was no waiting.
Even before Blueblood could settle right next to Luna that had placed it next to her for the attraction, it began with several looping and tight turns to enter a fake mountain where he There were bats in paper animated by magic.
Blueblood had closed its eyes from the first thrills. His face had turned green and put a hoof in front of his mouth. Eating cotton candy before the attraction was not a good idea.
Luna on her side was having fun like never before. She was laughing loudly in the cave, screaming as she descended to the exit of the fictional cave where the terrible descent was taking place.
Blueblood felt he was coming down quickly and decided to open his eyes to find himself at the top of the roller coaster that scared him so much. And, he faints at the same time.
After the extreme fall, the attraction returned to its point of departure. Luna inhaled, exhaled calmly waiting for the heartbeat to return to normal. Blueblood in its condition seemed bad.
" Maybe we should have started softer for the first attraction! "
She decided to let Blueblood still unconscious recover from her emotional shock and carried it on her back.
With him, she went to a small shop that sold princess stuffed toys and bought one of her own. Blueblood woke up on Luna's back and tried to get down. Luna let him do it.
" It's okay? "
" Yes, but you are completely crazy for luring me in there!!! " Blueblood yelled angrily.
" Sorry, I did not know it was so rough. Can I do something to make me forgive? " She said, looking at the beaten dog.
" Yes, let me choose the next attraction we are going to do! "
" Heard. "
Blueblood took the plan and looked carefully at the list of attractions.
" How about the crystal cave? "
" Whatever you want my nephew. "
" So let's go! "
Both walked through the park, seeing many ponies disguised as Luna in the attractions. They finally arrived at the attraction where a king Sombra's head laughing loudly stood beside the title of the attraction.
The set was composed of a vast crystal cave where it was extremely dark outside.
No wicket seemed to handle the attraction. Another group of ponies entered the attraction when others came out frightened running in all haste. A sign on a wall at the entrance of the cave caught Luna's attention.
To people facing the multiple dangers (no real danger) of the cave and finding the exit through 3 rooms full of terror will win a trophy and will be elected king/queen of the carnival giving them direct and free access to all attractions.
Try your luck!
Luna was interested in this challenge, which seemed quite surmountable, but she wanted Blueblood's support before making any decision.
" What do you think? "
" Easy. "
" So are you okay to try with me? "
" Sure. We will show this bastard band that we are not afraid! "
They entered the cave which was not at all lit up where they heard ponies laughing maliciously. A red light suddenly lit up the cave. King Sombra suddenly appeared before them.
" Come to me, my little foals! Say hello to uncle Sombra! "
Blueblood was paralyzed to face this character. Luna gently pushed him back to his senses.
" Blueblood calm, it's just a hologram, it's not true! "
" What if he had freed himself and tried to kill us? "
" No scared, huh? "
" Your fear is delicious, let me taste it even more! "
" No thanks! " Luna said quietly passing his way.
" Are you coming to Blueblood or I leave you here? " She said, turning to face Blueblood.
" I come! " Blueblood said running towards her as she walked past King Sombra, who was still repeating a text at their old location.
They entered another room where a sign stood in front of them.
Congratulations, you have passed this terrible challenge in surviving the terrible King Sombra but you will survive Chrysalis and its ruthless army! Run, survive or ... die! (no risk of real death)
The goal is to run to the other end of the room before being caught otherwise you will be captured and brought to the entrance of the cave.
Good luck! You will need it.
Blueblood and Luna stared down the wide, empty hallway, whose background this time it was difficult to see illuminated by green crystals.
A family consisting of a stallion, a mare and foals passed before them without even bothering about the sign. They were walking quietly down the hallway when dozens of Chrysalis kids were coming out of the wall and ceiling holes quickly rushing over them taking them into one of the holes as they screamed and struggled with their assailants.
Blueblood was once again to the chagrin of Luna paralyzed by what he had seen. She pushed him harder and explained that it was enough to run hard without ever turning around. Blueblood did not care, alive he would never go there.
Luna took him on these wings and fell asleep with a spell while he struggled vainly. She took a deep breath and ran with all her strength. She arrived after a few minutes of racing on the other side of the hallway, breathless, and placed Blueblood heavily on the floor. The changelings who had pursued her went back to their holes.
She woke Blueblood slightly irritated at having been so treated and went to the next room. Another sign stood in the center of the room as a dome where the walls were made of mirrored crystals. Curious and now cautious, they went to the sign.
Great! You have survived (so to speak) in all events so far, the final event where you will have to face your worst fears If you are ready to recite the spell below:
ββπ ββ ββββΌπͺ π§ββπ π£β βββ π§ββββΌ βββΌβΌββΌ ββ ββΉβΉ βββπ§β ββΉβπ§ββπ§ π±βΌβπ§ββ β πβββ π£ββ
Feel if you are too scared to leave! Not recommended for young foals and people who have experienced high trauma!
" It would not be any black magic formula like the one used by King Sombra? "
" I think. Ready my brave nephew? "
" No. "
" Good, we'll be two like this! "
And even before Blueblood had time to replicate anything, Luna activated the magic that dispersed in the crystals on the walls of the dome. They suddenly became black ink and very distinct images appeared to replace their darkness.
Shoeshine's image in Blueblood's room and in the body of it standing in front of him looking mocking:
" Blueblood or I would say Shoeshine now, I decided to keep your body! "
"What? But ... "
" Domestic silence, what would you say to your family? "
" What are you talking about? "
The room reflected by the crystals changed to a small house that was quite damaged in appearance, where a brown unicorn stallion with yellow eyes and a small purple-eyed green unicorn came to him calling him "darling" and "mother".
The little filly squeezed hard against him taking him by surprise when the stallion snuggled up against him, kissing him on the cheek making him blush.
Then female voices burst out laughing and the room went black. A new apparition where Luna stood facing Celestia on her throne discussing their new formidable nephew.
Blueblood where at least his body came on the scene, in the background, he saw Shoeshine in maid dress crying. But Shoeshine was him, she was going to steal everything from him, and all that remained for him was to serve as a maid in the castle.
But even though Shoeshine was pissed off, she would never do that. It was her friend despite last night's fight.
She had almost always treated him well although she could have taken advantage of him at levels of wickedness far superior to what she had done.
Although he had trouble recognizing it, he had fun during the fashion show. He knew she was not as cruel as the picture suggested.
Suddenly, a white light engulfed the scene and the crystals returned to normal. He then saw his aunt on the ground crying and apologizing for being so weak and having failed at his task.
Blueblood came against her and hugged her with all the love he could to help his aunt. He had never seen it so devastated. She crying apologetically to who knows who has become Nightmare Moon.
His aunt was not as mean as he thought. Although quite abrupt sometimes or very stoic, in a day, he had learned to appreciate and see outside the appearances and beliefs of Nightmare Moon.
This sadness, expressing regret at having become mean, had prevented him from blaming him for past actions.
Luna ended by ceasing these tears and with great sincerity thanked him. The entrance to the hall closed to reveal a door opposite where the daylight was fired. Hesitant but together they crossed the doorway and found themselves in the light of day.
A crowd standing in front of them applauded them. A pony gave them a cup and gave them access to all the attractions of the park.
Then they had fun together all the rest of the day enjoying the attractions. In the evening, they landed on a hill next to the amusement park and waited for a magnificent fireworks display, as the park was related to the stars and the moon and thus to Princess Luna.
" I enjoyed this day with you Blueblood, you are a great-nephew. I hope we can continue to have fun together. " " Would be happy aunt Luna! "
The fireworks stopped and Luna teleported them directly into the corridors of the castle. Luna advised him to apologize and said goodbye by a gentle hug.
Upon arrival, Shoeshine who was sitting on a chair on the balcony reading a book turned around looking at him with great anger and scorn.
Blueblood was going to have a big discussion with her.
The day of the Grand Galopping Gala
Shoeshine, who was still staring at him sitting on the chair facing the window, quickly made Blueblood uncomfortable with a force that he must have looked away.
" So what have you been doing all day long following the convocation of Princess Luna? "
" She wanted to spend some time with me and ..." Blueblood was cut.
" A princess of her status willingly spend time with you? And I thought you hated her !! "
" It was true until I got to know her, she's nice, you know. "
" More than me! " She said, looking away.
" You know that I consider you a friend. "
" You lie! I know that in the depths of you you hate me and that you are ashamed of me for what I am! "
" Of course not! You were very kind to me despite what I did. You just have to understand that I'm not in love with you and that my aunt wanted to spend time with me. "
" Just have to understand? You also just want to say that I should just leave your life because you're not in love with me, do you ?! "
" Yes. Kind of. " He replied shamefully.
" But we can still stay shoeshine friend. " He said.
" You are a Blueblood liar. As soon as you find your body, you will forget me like all the other mares you have to meet! "
" I can swear to you that this is the truth and that you count for me but as a friend with whom I wish to keep in touch. Please, Shoeshine can we stay friend? "
" I don't know if I could see you otherwise Blueblood, you are for me superior in every respect to a friend. I hate you for what you did to me, but yet I still love you, idiot. "
" I ... " Blueblood didn't know what to think about it. Never had any pony been so in love with him. He did not know what to say to make Shoeshine change his mind.
" I'm going to bed! " Shoeshine, who had straightened up and stopped crying, made her way to the Blueblood bed.
The scramble took Blueblood out of those thoughts that crumbled to the floor like a rag doll. Feeling his old body touching him reminded him of his magic and stallion strength that he lacked. He felt desperate and deeply lonely as a sudden nostalgia that prevailed.
" One last Blueblood thing, tomorrow we are going to buy something for tomorrow night! " Shoeshine said now on her bed.
" We? Tomorrow evening? "
" We'll both go tomorrow night at the Grand Galloping Gala whether you like it or not! Is that clearer? "
" Yes but ... "
He was once again cut off by a white flash and then very suddenly, he felt tired as if he had spent the most exhausting day of his life. He fell to the ground while asleep.
Shoeshine who was the author of this fatigue by a spell she had learned during the day, took it in its magic and put it in the other bed. But she hesitated, she gently brought the sleeping body of Blueblood.
And gave him a quick kiss on the mouth before resting him in the bed where he was. The temptation was too strong for her. Ashamed of everything, she hid under her blankets and fell asleep too.
Blueblood woke for a time before Shoeshine by a cold breeze coming from a window that was left open. Outside, it was fall time. It was raining, there was wind and there was a multitude of leaves that was carried by the wind.
The Pegasus is still hurting their work and also to the day of the Grand Galloping Gala, if I were still in my body, I would go see Celestia directly thought Blueblood.
Then he prepared his breakfast, hardly spilling three times his glass of apple juice on the table. Eating with ordinary hooves was a challenge for Blueblood, who was used to his magic. All the noise he was making wake up a grumpy Shoeshine when he woke up.
When she saw Blueblood sprinkled with a dozen foods all over him, she sighed, screaming at him to avoid starting a fight.
Shameful as he was, he gave her a shy little hello. She went to the kitchen and had food in the kitchen that had not finished on Blueblood's body. She made quick applesauce by grinding the apples of the kitchen and making two separate plates.
They ate in absolute silence where Blueblood dared not look at Shoeshine for fear of annoying him. He stared at his plate for a long time and ended up eating the compote without a spoon.
Shoeshine, who had not talked about the day, was staring at Blueblood with strong anger at him, that he was not paying more attention to his body when she had taken the utmost care with his.
Once the breakfast was over, Shoeshine was hanging out at Blueblood who was clinging to the floor absolutely against what was going to happen in the bathroom.
She slipped him under the shower and washed his mane and coat with great care, removing all traces of apple juice and a piece of banana stuck on him.
He struggled futilely at Shoehine's magic grip on him. She washed it like a little foal who would be afraid of the humbling Blueblood bath in passing. She applied shampoo to him and dried it, then made him a hairstyle and put on a pink dress with a blue heart.
Blueblood red split between anger and shame biting the tongue not to insult Shoeshine which would make the situation worse.
Shoeshine braced herself and her over their yellow fuchsia rain jacket outfits. Then they went out to the shop where Moonshadow Sprint was working.
They greeted their friends with a hug and then looked for an outfit for the evening. Shoeshine decided for them both. A pretty yellow glitter dress with a simple standard tuxedo.
" I warn you, it is out of the question that I wear it tonight! "
" We bet? "
" You don't have the right to force me! "
" Celestia gives me all the rights over you and I think you'll be delighted with this dress bringing out all the feminine side of your person. "
" Very funny. "
" Now go to the spa! "
" What did Celestia do to me? " Blueblood sighed.
" A lot of things, come on! We do not have all day! "
" I come. "
Blueblood who felt almost like a dog held by a leash called "Celestia told me to do what I want!" To go to all the activities where he was massaged by a masseur rather indiscreet on what was of the order of the privacy of the kind:
" Are you celibate? Do you have children? You would like to have some? "
This irritated Blueblood, who was desperately trying to think of something else as a happy past when he would not have noticed Shoeshine and still had a good relationship with Celestia.
Finally, after several hours writing whole novels that why I will not go into details.
Shoeshine seemed less angry, almost happy with this relaxation session, which Blueblood took advantage of to ask shyly, almost like Fluttershy's voice:
" I'm hungry, could we go to eat somewhere, please? "
" I admit I'm a bit hungry, we'll go to the Delicate Hay! "
" But he only gives dry food in small quantities! We could go try the royal Canterlot pizza together? "
" No, this kind of dish is bad for your health and makes you fat! I assure you that you will love the restaurant where we go. " " No, I wouldn't like it! "
" Blueblood! "
" I'm really hungry and it's not with dry hay that I'm going to fill my stomach! "
" I'll buy you a double serving, are you ok? "
" But it's disgusting and prices are expensive! "
" You behave like a child and like an old miser. Now stop your whining! We will eat there a point that's all! "
" No, I'm tired of being treated like a stupid filly since last night. I'm an adult and I have rights. I will not go to eat at this restaurant's endpoint. "
" Do you want to play that? I knew you thought you were above all but surpassing the princess's orders to do your circus act on the street. I'm going to ... No, less it, go eat where you want. I will not get upset for you. "
"..."
" That's what you wanted, right? So leave and don't look back. "
-*-*-*-*-*-
At the same moment, Princess Twilight's friendship map was activated. Spike whistling a melody sweeping the room saw the map start to glitter. He dropped his broom and ran for Twilight, who was studying a book.
-*-*-*-*-*-
Blueblood felt happy and guilty of hurting Shoeshine. However, he did not hesitate to take advantage of his little moment of freedom to move away while jumping from the guilt of making Shoeshine sad.
He decided to go find her after going to eat at the pizzeria for noble Canterlot. On the way, this one did not stop to rehearse the scene of the dispute not being able to think of some other things.
Blueblood arrived at his destination where he found a unicorn pony with a strange color caramel mustache to give a pizza to a young unicorn couple.
" Hello. "
" Hello ma'am, what can I do for you? "
Blueblood gritted her teeth but silenced all comments.
" I would like an extra-noble pizza with rich sauce supplement. "
" For you? "
" Yes, please. "
" Sorry, only for the nobles. "
" What? But I'm a noble. "
" No. "
" How could you know it? "
" Easy, only unicorns in Canterlot are noble. "
" But why don't you let me buy one? "
" No noble. "
" Yes, but why only noble ponies have the right to eat in this shop? "
" Decree imposed by the prince Blueblood. "
Blueblood suddenly remembered that he had not tolerated the last time a simple pony could eat the same thing as him. He had discreetly made a false decree on the restaurant that none of these aunts had ever known.
Ashamed and always hungry, he left the establishment. He had also realized that he did not even have enough to pay. He sat on a wet bench in a park and pondered.
He did not want to go back to Shoeshine in his stupid restaurant for anorexia, just as hunger was tickling him. Defeated by his hungry stomach, he decided to return to see Shoeshine, who would be proud of his predictions with an arrogant lip smile.
Blueblood after a few minutes of walking went into 'the delicate hay' and found Shoeshine watching for the window. When he arrived at his table, she, who until then had not noticed his presence, took him in an affectionate hug.
In shock, he almost flopped on contact but was good. He returned his embrace and both took their places at the table.
-*-*-*-*-*-
Spike came back with Twilight annoyed to have come out of his reading, he explained what he had seen. Twilight looked at the card, but it did not emit any light that showed any kind of friendship problem.
She turned to Spike who stammered incomprehensible words and then without another word returned to reading his book leaving the poor baby dragon to his utter misunderstanding.
-*-*-*-*-*
" I don't want us to argue Blueblood. I apologize if I was stubborn and annoying to you. "
" I also wish to apologize for ..." Blueblood did not recognize his wrongs, for him, Shoeshine was the only one responsible for the dispute.
" No matter, let's not talk about it anymore. I thought about it and I fully understand your decision about our relationship and I agree to be your only friend. It will be difficult for me at first but I will get there for us. "
" Thank you Shoeshine, I'm glad you accepted my friendship. But excuse me to disturb you like that but could we eat? "
" No problem, to be honest, I was waiting for you. "
After a quiet late afternoon, both returned to the castle to prepare for the evening festivities. They spent most of their time talking like old friends on a lot of different subjects, preparing themselves with some pretty make-up, jewelry, and dress.
The sky had become purple as a sign of the setting sun, by the window, one already saw a multitude of ponies in a long queue to appear at the ball in front of the castle.
Everyone had to show the tickets to the guard then be announced to finally go to greet Princess Celestia. Blueblood used to spend these evenings dredging mares felt anxious with a ball of stress squeezing in her belly.
And if other stallions watched him as he looked at the other mares of the evening himself. Some might even invite him to dance and ...
" Are you ready Blueblood? Don't forget, I'll call you Shoeshine and you'll call me Blueblood for the time of this evening. "
" Yes, I understood. "
" All the better, we can go there. "
" Wait, I do not know if it's a good idea. "
" Come on Blueblood, we'll have a good time together. "
" I don't know. "
" For me, please. "
Blueblood after a deep sigh accepted the joy of Shoeshine who had always wanted to see the Grand Galloping Gala with her own eyes since she was a filly.
So both of them took the queue where they passed the guards without a problem and Celestia with a mischievous smile thanked them for coming.
Shoeshine was amazed at the immensity of the room where already hundreds of guests were present. Two rows of succulent dishes will be stood to the left of the entrance.
Music reverberated throughout the room where a group of musicians composed their last pieces in the eyes of the public who did not seem to be paying attention.
Soon, Shoeshine fascinated as she was by all these discoveries did not realize that Blueblood who had lost sight of it did not follow. Blueblood anxious to be alone tried unsuccessfully to find Shoeshine. A group of three ponies came to him:
" Look what we have here my friends. A lovely servant at our disposal. "
" Wait, I'm not a servant. " Said Blueblood shyly back frightened by these gentlemen.
" Of course, doll, listen, I've already seen you dressed maid rode in the castle. "
" Yes, but... "
" But? "
" Uh. "
" You see, I think you have a pretty rump for a maid and I would love to meet you more intimately. "
" What? "
" Are not you serious Wallet? You know this thing is vulgar pony earth. "
Answered the other pretty orange pony that was to the left of his companion.
" Yes, she doesn't have a class that is even suitable for her to be in the castle. If it depended only on me, I would drive it away. " Naughtily replied the skinny gray pony who raised his head as high as his body would allow.
" I ..." Blueblood tried to defend herself.
" And to say that our illustrious prince happens to be with a pony of the same kind is a shame. This should be banned. "
" Don't listen to this lovely creature, let's enjoy this beautiful night to have a little fun! " The unicorn took him in his aura and tirelessly pulled him away from the party.
" Let me go, please. "
" When we are in the bedroom my beautiful. "
" I said, LET ME GO NOW !!! "
Everyone in the room turned to the unicorn looking at her badly. Those friends who were staying in the same place throughout the scene quietly slipped away.
Silver Glove, who had been looking for Shoeshine all night, became red with fury at the scene and headed for the pony who was lifting Blueblood to put on one of the best and most deserved punch Blueblood had ever seen.
Guards caught Blueblood and asked if all was well while the ugly unicorn and Silver Glove was brought to Celestia and Blueblood to accompany them to tell his version.
Shoeshine, who had been embarrassed by the crowd, could not join them in time before they left the hall and disappeared into the corridors.
Blueblood and the entire guard troop encircling the Unicorn and Silver Glove made their way to the throne room where Celestia had just entered through one of the other doors. She looked stern.
The unicorn was the first to speak telling a story that Blueblood would have made the bitch and offered him a date in bed if he agreed to take her with his magic outside the room.
Celestia gave a short laugh to this seemingly lame story. All the elements almost matched but Blueblood unless drunk would never flirt a stallion of his life. He barely knew how to be as beautiful as a mare, so he could flirt with his charms on a stallion. That was all there was nonsense.
Blueblood, in turn, told in detail how the unicorn and his other friends had treated him by mentioning the heroic action of Silver Glove. Celestia took a much harder face towards the unicorn having tried to rape Blueblood.
It was one of the things she saw at almost the same level as torture. She asked the guards to drive him to prison and look for these racist charming friends.
Silver Glove stuck to Blueblood rubbing affectionately to him and kissed him on the cheek as a sign of affection.
Celestia laughed at this proof of affection for this person's overflowing love. Blueblood blushed in the reddest hue that could be seen.
" Thank you for your brilliant intervention, Mr. Silver Glove, but I do not like people being hit at Equestria! "
" I am sincerely sorry Princess Celestia but seeing this stallion blame my love apple made me almost crazy. "
" Apple of love? Are you planning to get married? " Celestia asked, which earned her a deadly look from Blueblood.
" I wish I did, but I know that Shoeshine does not feel the same way I feel about her. If you will excuse me, I'm going back to the Gala. " He said suddenly depressing catch up with reality.
Again alone Celestia, Blueblood still ashamed of the situation where this stallion to try to abuse him and lowered his eyes.
" You do not have to feel humiliated Blueblood. This stallion will be punished because he is the culprit. "
" Thank you, Aunt Celestia. "
" I know we're still angry but before we go back to business, know that I still love you. "
" Me to aunt Celestia. "
Celestia took in a gentle embrace her nephew, who was surprised at the gesture and her rapidity. He returned his embrace. Then Celestia broke the embrace after a few minutes.
" Excuse me Blueblood, I have to watch to see if Twilight is looking after the guests. We will meet after or during the festivities if you wish. I would like us to resume the discussion, although unfortunate the last time. Okay? "
" Okay. "
Blueblood came back to where he had come to see his second aunt in a beautiful outfit made of dozens of sparkling pearls discreetly watching the ball through the crack of the front door. He slipped next to her and
" Boo. "
" ... you scared me Blueblood. I heard what happened to you, how are you? "
" Yes, all in all. And what are you doing here? "
" I ... you know I have to check the evacuation of doors in case of a monster? "
" No, but it's true this lie? "
" Ok, I do not dare go to the ball. I'm afraid that seeing me the ponies get scared and flee. "
" But not Aunt Luna, they will not be afraid of you. It's rather you who seems to be afraid of them, right? "
" Do you think I'm the princess of the moon and dreams, I'm afraid of a small crowd of ponies? " Luna looked upset.
" A small crowd of at least a thousand guests. "
" A thousand, what, no, they are only eight hundred and eighty-six! "
" Do you have to count? But you know that everyone is not there yet. "
" What ??? "
" I thought the numbers did not scare you! "
" Yes, but that's a bit much anyway. "
" Come on come. You can stay with me if you're afraid to stay alone. "
" Blueblood, I do not know if it's a good idea for me to go because ... But you know, you're right, stop thinking and let's go! "
Luna pushed hard the doors which awakened the attention of everyone.
" Goodnight. " Luna said shyly.
" Good evening Princess Luna! "
All the ponies in the room responded in a chorus before resuming their activities.
" You should not smile so much. It's a little scary! "
" You find? " This statement completely broke the assurance she was trying to get.
" Try to smile a little less but in a more natural way. "
" I guess I'll try. "
Then Blueblood, accompanied by his aunt, looked for Shoeshine, whom they found sitting on a chair staring at the floor as if deep in thought.
Blueblood patted his shoulder. She came out of her thoughts and smiled at the sight of Blueblood she enslaves in a hug.
Outside Blueblood saw Mondingus talking with Celestia about the importance of being the first to discover guns and the atomic bomb. The strange scene he said to himself.
Luna smiled as she saw the two friends in new sets. Then the rest of the evening was spent talking to each other or guests such as Discord and a gelatinous creature accompanying him.
Blueblood after the festivities went to see Celestia as she had herself suggested to quietly discuss the current situation.
He knocked on the half-open door where his aunt Celestia's voice told him to enter.
This one seemed visibly very tired with the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. She gave him a brief smile before sitting down in bed preparing for a serious discussion with Blueblood.
Blueblood began to speak with that feminine voice of which he was still accustomed.
" Aunt Celestia, I know it's not a good time to have a serious conversation with you, but I think I understand. "
" What did you learn my dear nephew? "
" Throughout my week as Shoeshine, I understood that ponies should not be treated according to their breeds. I was afraid of Aunt Luna despite everything you told me about her and I got to know her apart from stories about Nightmare Moon. I also understood that she was suffering from it and that we had to be there for her. "
" I'm truly impressed, my dear nephew! " Celestia did not believe his ears that Blueblood could learn so quickly the knowing.
Blueblood was happy. He knew that imitating Twilight Sparkle on the importance of friendship would work but talking about Luna in the end. He was finally going to be able to be in his body again.
Celestia who credulous as she was, agreed to return her body to Blueblood tomorrow morning.
Blueblood pretended to be tired and withdrew from the room and Celestia wished him a pleasant night.
Celestia later eclipsed her room discreetly not wanting to wake up the two guards supposed to keep her room sleeping soundly.
She visited Shoeshine, who was nibbling some treats before going to bed, and suggested that she stop the exchange of bodies. After a few moments of reflection, she agreed that it was time to return to her old life.
The night passed calmly without the slightest noise disturbing Blueblood. In the morning, full of hope and glad to have slept well, he got up to see that Shoeshine had made him breakfast.
She smiled at him and finished arranging two silver trays filled with sweet food to start the day. Blueblood salivated in advance. She gently placed the two trays on the table and waited for Blueblood to sit down before starting the meal.
" Blueblood, I have good news for you. Princess Celestia offered to surrender your body and I accepted. This is not wonderful news for you? "
Blueblood did not know if it was good to tell him that he was the author of this sudden change. If Shoeshine would learn from Celestia that would make her lose all those credits to her again and she would refuse the exchange of bodies.
After a frustrated sigh, he told him everything. Shoeshine seemed to be blazing about what he had just revealed to her.
" My poor Blueblood, I doubt that this is another of your tricks to recover your body and I agree. I will take my life where you left it and you too. "
" Thank you very much Shoeshine, I would not be what I will become without you! "
" Pray Celestia for falling on me. Other mares would benefit more if you know what I mean. "
" I do not want to understand what you're insinuating, but you're right, I was lucky to know you. " " Too bad it's not working between us. " Shoeshine sighs.
" I'm sure you'll find a special pony much better than me. " Articulated hardly Blueblood.
" Without offense, many ponies have been better than you, but I hope you too will find love. "
A guard knocked on the door before announcing by opening it that Princess Celestia was waiting for them.
They finished their breakfast and went together to the room where Celestia was waiting with Luna. It was a modest room where Celestia enjoyed spending time with her student Twilight when she was small.
" Ready nephew and you Shoeshine? " Celestia asks.
" Ready! " They say in unison.
Celestia cast the spell where a powerful white flash of light burst from her horn. When Blueblood opened his eyes, he was slumped on the soft carpet of the room. He got up to see a long blue mane night blocking his view.
He looked taller and felt a long horn on his head and two extra limbs on the sides. It did not look like his body. Raising his right hoof to remove the mane from his sight, he noticed that it was midnight blue. He was Luna?
The person who was in his body seemed delighted and looked at every detail of his being with sudden attention he or she spoke:
" Thank you, my sister. "
" Sister? Are you Luna? " Blueblood asked.
" Yes, awesome, don't you think? "
Confused Blueblood turned her head to Shoeshine who was hugging herself with a soft smile.
" My body, I missed you so much. "
Then in the same optics towards Celestia laughing under a hoof.
" What did you do aunt Celestia? "
" Shoeshine told me that you still did not understand the lesson and Luna wanted to know the effect of being a stallion so I put the pieces together and there you go. "
" But I don't want to be Aunt Luna !! "
" It's very kind. " Luna said spite.
Blueblood was concentrating intellectually to resist the temptation to touch the flank of his dear aunt who made him so fantasize.
" Sorry, that's not what I wanted to say but why not let me find my body? "
" Blueblood, I do not want to call you lazy, although it's a bit like that, I'd like some rest and other mares. "
" What? Wait, you offer my body to mares that I do not even know? "
" No, these mares are your former lovers and only those who have accepted. "
" Luna, they have everything to accept. "
" Oops, but it's only for a month, it'll be fine. "
" You know that I chose these mares for physical reasons. They are not just as friendly as Shoeshine morally. "
" What a shame, you had to think about it before but know that it's nothing personal my nephew. "
Blueblood imagined in the bodies of these hot mares stuck to each of their whims, some of which will enjoy.
" Pity, in the name of all that is good, I beg you not to do it. "
" AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH ... !!!!! "
Celestia and Luna burst out laughing, Shoeshine upset by the situation got closer to Blueblood.
" Stop, Blueblood is perhaps not the best but it is not the worst and does not deserve that! "
" We laugh at Shoeshine, I didn't think that Blueblood would react in such a way and I'm ... AH AH AH AH AH ..."
" And what? "
" I'm sorry, the real punishment is just letting Luna dispose of your body for two, three days without her doing anything you would not do, right? "
"You are my nephew and Blueblood friend, I would never let such a thing happen. "
" Here I am reassuring, what should I do in the meantime? "
" Relax after what you went through. "
Life resumed and Blueblood resumed his body soon after. Shoeshine married Silver Glove who organized a sumptuous wedding to which everyone was invited with Blueblood as a witness of honor. The couple donated two twin foals named Sweet Glove and Iron Glove.
Blueblood became friends with Moonshadow Sprint and later, years later, met his special pony who was a lovely pony named Carrot Top in Ponyville but had no children. So they adopted a little furry green fur and black mane called Anon who had strange problems with personality disorders.
