Howl at the Moon
I like a Laid Back Ball Every Once in a While
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe princesses took me to the castle in an armored chariot. It was posh AF. After we got to the castle, Luna took my hand and teleported me to their private office. I knew this because it wasn't the throne room. Then the interrogation began.
"Why are you here? And tell the truth, or we will be forced to get it out of you. Please, don't make us do that." Celestia started off. I was guessing she was going to be good cop.
"I am sorry. Your mom said to not reveal that information. I can tell you that I am here to hunt some demons though. I mean no harm to you or your ponies, as your mom wouldn't have sent me here, right? The Shaman, that's how I know her so that's what I will call her, never sent anybody who wasn't qualified, morally set, or couldn't perform what she needed done to perform her task. I have lived here for two weeks. Two demons, both in defense of your ponies. I think that proves my statement."
Luna spoke up to that. "I know that you fought those two demons, and I am curious as to how you defeated them. I could tell you got that sword today from the forge behind the castle. What did you use to fight them?"
I then pulled out the god-eater. Both of them stepped back when I did so, and looked at it in fear. I understood why. This thing isn't good, and is only kept in check by my connection to it. They could most likely feel the creature that lived inside it, and how it hungered.
"I used this. And before you ask, I got this from the Shaman. Your mom gave it to me, when she sent me here. She must know what she is doing, sending me here with this. I have only used it on enemies of the town, and never on anypony. You have my word, and Twilight's, if she was here. I promise to never use it on anypony, on pain of death by this blade. I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want to do my new job, and live a nice new life."
"Very well, we trust you. We have been monitoring your heart, and so far you have not lied to us. Tell me, how come you don't want to go back home? Why do you want to stay here? What is keeping you from calling up 'The Shaman' as you call her, back and having her take you home?" Celestia backed me into a corner. I didn't know how to answer. "One moment, I need to think about this."
"Go ahead."
And so I thought. Why am I so willing to stay, and start a new life? Why? What was keeping me from asking to go back home? I stopped. I have no friends. Wait, yes I do. Hunter and Ross. But still, we barely talked for days at a time before the con. The only reason they invited me, is because I had wanted to go, and mom. And that's another thing, mom had Alzheimer's. She barely remembered me last time I had went to see her. She called a nurse to escort me out. Hunter and Ross had only felt bad for me, but they had wanted to help me. What are they thinking happened to me I wonder? Did they even realize that I haven't come back, or that I am missing at all? They did have the booth to run. I had no life back there. I had a mom who didn't even know me. I had friends that I hardly talked to. I had nothing. Nothing to go back to. That is why I am here. It makes sense to bring someone who wouldn't want to go back. To give them some thing to go TO. To take that person with nothing left, and take them somewhere they can have a life they wanted. I had my answer.
"I don't want to go back. That is why. I had nothing there. My mom, she didn't even know me. She has Alzheimer's, a condition that after you reach a certain age, it almost rots away your brain in a way. It doesn't rot, so much as your brain stops firing neurons to certain parts of the brain, namely memory, motor in some instances, and other parts of the body. They loose their memories. The last time I had visited her in her care home, she didn't even recognize me as anyone. She had a nurse come take me away. My friends, I barely kept in contact with them. The reason they had brought me to the convention that I was dragged from was they wanted to help cheer me up. But I hardly knew anything about their new lives, as we hadn't talked in a long time. I had become more of a hermit. I have nothing to go back to. And I have every reason to stay."
They sat there looking at me as the minutes ticked bye. Finally, Luna spoke up.
"I see no lie in her words, sister. Do you?"
"No. I see it fit to let her live in Equestria. Do you concur, sister?"
"I do."
"Then by my royal decree, I proclaim you are hereby a citizen of Equestria. Know, with that settled, let's go see what Rarity has for you. I know she must have made something for you to where to the ball tonight." And with that, they teleported us out of the office, into the throne room. Luna called over a guard, and told them to help me find the guest rooms. I thanked them, and said I would see them later.
We go to the guest rooms with no disturbances. When I entered the room, I was wacked in the face by a floating dress. I noticed the dress was held in Rarity's magic, and she was floating it over to Rainbow Dash. She looked up when I opened the door. She was wearing red glasses, with a jewel chain to keep them around her neck.
"Ah, darling, there you are. Quickly, the ball starts in three hours, and we need to get your clothes designed and made. Actually, we need to get your three-size, and then design and make." She then measured my bust, waist, and hips. I was 48-32-50, so I was doing good.
"Alright dear, I have a design for you, but tell me now if you have anything you prefer." I shook my head no.
"Good. Alright here is what I have in mind." I could tell she went with the whole knight theme. The dress she had designed was knee length, with a blue top with no straps, and a white frill skirt, again, coming to the knees. The shoes were to be turquoise and white colored half-armor boots, coming up to mid thigh. And to finish off the look, a turquoise and white colored metal shoulder guard, arm guard, and hand guard on the back of hand. It was to only cover the right arm, my dominate.
"Rarity, this is beautiful. But is it going to be ready by the ball? Three hours is a short amount of time to forge armor pieces."
"Don't you worry darling. I will have it ready by the ball. I need to go to the forge, get started. Do you have any bits i can use to pay for material?"
"Of course." I hand her my coin pouch. She rushed off and I finally got to take a look at the other girls.
Rainbow Dash was wearing a floor length river blue dress with spaghetti straps. The frills on the dress where light colored and thin, see through, and flowed around the dress in a spiral from the left shoulder to the ground behind her right leg, spiraling fully around her body twice, and looked as if to give off the appearance of a rainbow reflected in a river.
Fluttershy wore a forest green hunter skirt that came to her knees, and had a black with white trim corset top. Her boots were leather, and had the designs of small vines creeping up her legs coming from on the boot, and going up to under the skirt. with a little lean in from me, I saw that she actually had vines on her legs.
"Doesn't that itch Fluttershy?"
"No, it doesn't. I had my animal friends go and find these for Rarity when she asked. They went and got the softest vines. Do you want to feel them?" I nod my head and reach out to stroke a leaf. It's the softest vine you can get. It has little fuzzes that make it softer.
I look at Applejack. She has on a simple dress, floor length with brown, red, orange, and green in different swaths going from the floor to her shoulders. The style usually not work, but somehow Rarity made it look beautiful on Applejack. It also went with her Cowboy hat, though I didn't get that either.
Pinkie Pie had a dress that looked like the one Katniss wore in the hunger games movie, when she went to see that weird TV host person, only in a pink to match her. She saw me looking, and said.
"It is exactly what it looks like readers. It even catches fire too. Watch!" She then twirls around and around and the hem of the dress started to flicker with the flames that had been on Katniss's, only made of magic.
"What, did you like what you saw? I can give you a better look tonight." and she kissed me.
I like Pinkie Pie, she good marefriend.
Rarity came back in with soot and sweat pouring down her face. "Here darling, your boots and arm-guard. That took more magic than I expected, but it had to be done in order to finish the dress in time."
"Relax Rarity. We still got another hour and a half before the ball. You go finish Cameron's dress, and we'll set your out, okay." Rarity only nodded and went to start my dress. I could here whirring and buzzing and cutting scissors coming from the other room.
Twilight went over to the wardrobe in our room, and did as she had told Rarity. The dress she had set out on the bed was an ivory colored strapless dress that came down to the floor. Like Rainbows, it had frill's that went down in a spiral from the left shoulder to the back of the right leg. but hers was a single stripe of royal purple, and had two stripes of diamond clear blue as the other two frills.
Twilight put on her dress, a floor length lavender dress that had a lightly poofed out bottom, and had an explosion on the bottom of the dress that turned into her cutie mark. The explosion moved as if it was real, and radiated with small swirls and flares. I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was like a cat, drawn towards the movement of the dress. I resisted finally, after Twilight tapped my face.
"Eyes up here girl." I blushed and said I was sorry. Rarity came back into the room before she could reply, and walked over to me to grab my hand. She pulled me to the center of the room and said, "Strip."
"What. In front of all of you? There is a princes present. I am not going to strip."
"Wrong answer." she said in a sing song voice. "Twilight, if you would be a dear." And Twilight betrayed me. Her lavender magic grabbed a hold of my clothes and they came off with a pop, leaving me in my bra and panties.
Rarity walked around me, looking at me as I covered myself. I don't like being naked in front of others, not unless I say.
"Fluttershy, could you help me? You are the only other pony here that know about armor like me."
Fluttershy walked over and helped Rarity put on my dress. The body part was strapless, and hugged me firmly, so as not to fall off.
"Rarity, did you put fake animal fur in this? It feels like you did?"
"Yes dear. It is leather after all, and that doesn't feel good without a buffer zone, so to say."
Okay, so it is a light blue leather top with a white battle skirt that comes to my knees. I like it. After they got the dress on, Fluttershy grabbed the arm and shoulder guard. They took a moment to put it on, the strap going across my chest and hooking under my left pit. I felt faux fur in the entire shoulder piece as well. They put on the arm guard next, with fur, and finally the guard for the hand, which went on like a glove with no fingers, and strapped onto the arm section of armor.
The boots where leather with metal plating, and went on nicely, filled with a soft fabric to not let my feet slide. The only problem we had with them was going past my knees, but it was easy to fix. Rarity got her dress on, and then we where ready.
Leaving the room, Twilight guided us to the main ballroom, where most parties were held. When we arrived, we saw delegates from other nations. It was my first glimpse of the other species of Equestria. I saw griffons, they wore armor for the most part, though if you looked hard enough it was just dress armor, and wouldn't actually protect well. The Minotaur's wore clothes that looked to be roman toga's, but I couldn't be sure. The Zebras were the coolest, as they wore African style dresses, and had tribal tattoos in between their stripes. I even saw some Dragons, which I just like dragons overall. They wore nothing, but they didn't need to. Their bodies seemed to be smooth, and devoid of most genitalia that would be indecent in this setting. I turned to Twilight, who saw me and explained.
"They don't were anything because their bodies shift to match who they might come to mate. It happens very quickly, and they only have genitalia during mating season."
Ah, so that was covered. Well, I might as well say hello to the princesses. I spot them and head over, the girls drifting off to do whatever leaving Twilight and Pinkie to follow. Pinkie hooking her arm though mine. We walked up, and waited for the princesses to finish addressing their guest. When they where finished, I started forward, but was pushed aside by a rude stallion with blonde hair and a horn on his head. He was wearing a diamond pinstriped suit, and it immediately pissed me off. Who wears something that shows off how rich you are. He was asking to be mugged.
"Pinkie, who and how much money?"
"Blueblood, nephew of Celestia, prince, 400 thousand bits, back left pocket. I will distract. Twilight, I need your help with this."
"Okay, sounds fun."
Plan set, we went into action. Pinkie stepped ahead of him, jumping at Celestia, giving her a big hug. Twilight took her cue,and rushed forward to get her off. I stepped behind the Blueballs and slipped my hand in his back left pocket. The spacial distortion took a moment to get what I had wanted, but when I pulled my hand out of his pocket, I had 400,000 more bits than before. I then winked to Pinkie, who immediately stopped her charade, and bounced over to my side, taking my arm. The stallion turned around to see where his interrupter went, and saw me. I saw Luna behind him, and she noticed my hand. Then she laughed, and he was befuddled.
"Auntie, who is this ape? Why is it holding this repugnant ponies hand? Who let it in, and that bitch of a party mare?"
The sound around us ceased. It was only for those who heard it, but silence reigned. I smiled. It was a good smile. A wide smile. A mad smile. The type you see on an insane patient in an asylum. I tilted my head, and stuck my hand out.
"Hello Prince Fuckballs. I mean dick waffle. I mean shit eater. Sorry, I don't know what is happening Prince Dick Sucker. I am terribly sorry for our interruption of YOU, when you came in front of US, when we where here first. Please, take your candy bitch ass back to your hole, and shove your head back inside. Hello Celestia, it feels like it's been four hours since we last talked. How are you?"
Prince Blueblood looked at me with such venom that he was about to start dripping it. Celestia and Luna where both holding back their laughter and disgust at my words, and I just kept smiling. Pinkie was smiling brighter than before as well.
"GUARDS! GUARDS! COME AND SEIZE THIS CREATURE, AND ITS BITCH!"
The guards came over and saw us, and made no move to capture us. Celestia and Luna where looking at Blueblood with disgust. I could understand. They usually saw him and forgot how he acts most of the time. Or they avoided him, which seemed more likely.
"Yes, I would like to see them capture me. Better yet, I would like to see you touch me. If you can, I will go with the guards and you can go back to being a giant male phallic member that has graced society with its desire to be a sphincter."
By this point, the room had learned of this little get together. They started to clear to the sides of the room when I issued my challenge. My six friends came up to us. Celestia and Luna looked pleased. I could see that they had been waiting for this moment for a long time. They spoke up.
"Cameron, don't kill him. But do maim him." Rarity shook her head in agreement. The girls pulled out their weapons. and we walked to one side of the hall. Blueblood looked confused.
"I issued a challenge, and you accepted. Get whatever you need to fight with, and we shall dual."
Blueblood harrumphed, and walked to his servant. The servant ran to get something, and was back in moments, carrying a rapier.
I stood by the wall, talking to the girls. Fancy Pants and Fleur came up to us, along with the princesses.
"I must say Cameron, you look beautiful tonight. Who made your wardrobe? Oh, wait, their she is, Rarity. I like what you have done. I have a few words of warning for you Cameron. He is second in line to be Captain of the Royal Guard. Be careful."
"It is true, though not so after tonight. Be warned that he is a TRICKY stallion to fight." Celestia said.
"I can't believe that I had wanted to merry him. I am glad I came to my senses on that." Rarity putting her two cents in.
"Girls, I will be fine. Celestia, the guests will have a good show. Fancy, thank you for the warning, but I think I will be fine. And Pinkie, i fight to defend your name. They can call me whatever, but I don't take insults to those I love. That includes you all. Well, not you Fancy, but you know what I mean. No offense."
"None taken."
"Now, I have to go fight. And I will win. After all, not even a dragon could take on a howler."
And with that I turn and start laughing.
