You awaken abruptly, after a very angry Princess Luna blasted you from the dream realm.
You couldn't deny that you had feelings for the spunky blue alicorn, too bad she clearly didn't feel the same way about you.

Looking around the room you remember why you where here in the first place. You must have fallen asleep waiting for Princess Celestia to wake up. Checking a clock on Celestias bed side table you breath a sigh of relief, Despite the fact that you and Princess Luna sat and talked for what you thought must have been an hour, only a few minutes had actually passed. The sun should have risen five or six minutes ago, but looking around Princess Celestia was nowhere to be found.

She must be about to raise the sun, you thought to yourself as you rushed towards the balcony.
Princess Luna's letter said that you had till sunrise, so as long as you got to Princess Celestia first there was still time to complete the contract.

You skid to a halt as you hear the sound of a toilet flushing. Princess Celestia emerges from a door that you hadn't noticed before,
And Architecturaly speaking shouldn't even exist.... If the tower is round... Which it is... Then technically the door should lead nowhere. Shaking your head you decide not to think to hard about it. It was probably magic anyway. Yeah.... Magic.

Princess Celestia does a cute little dance as she heads out onto the balcony to raise the sun. She must not have noticed you standing behind her. To get her attention you gently tap on her croup, and she lashes out with both hind hooves catching you square in the chest, the force of the impact lifting you from your feet and knocking the wind from your lungs.

As you soared though the air you find yourself asking, Where did it all go wrong? then it hit you as your body impacted with the cold marble floor below, somewhere along the course of the night you must have convinced yourself that you were a white knight storming a dark tower to rescue a princess, Instead of the cold blooded assassin you were trained to be.

As you lay on the hard floor clutching your chest and gasping for breath, Princess Celestia stood over your defenseless body with a cold fire burning in her eyes.
She wrapped her hooves around your neck to strangle the remaining life from your body.

Who knew Princess Celestia could be so cold hearted?

Wrapping your hands around her fetlocks you try to pry her hooves from around your throat but she was just to strong.
In response to your resistance Celestia used her magic to pick up a fork to stab you in the throat, but luck was on your side as said four pronged projectile became lodged harmlessly in your cloak string. Princess Celestia struggled to retrieve her makeshift dagger so that she could end your life.

You visibly wince as the princess smirks having just thought of a clever way to finish you off.

Your enveloped in a golden glow as Princess Celestia lifts you from the ground with her magic. You try in vain to escape Celestias magical grasp before she can throw you over the balcony rail and watch you explode across the ground like a human water balloon.

You shudder at that terrifying thought and redouble your efforts to escape.

You sway uncontrolably in Celestia's magical grip knocking over a vase. Princess Celestia nearly dropped you before slamming you into the wall, your vision flashed white before everything went black.

Guess she must have realy liked that vase you broke.

Several hours later you wake up in a cool dark room with your aching head wrapped tightly in a bandage and two hoof shaped bruises on your chest. Every breath you take causes a sharp pain in your chest. The Princess must have cracked a few ribs with that kick of her's, no big, deal you've lived through worse.

"Looks like your finally awake" said a masculine voice.

Looking around you notice two guards standing outside of your cell, not the lunar guards you tangled with last night, These ponies wore the gleaming golden armour of Princess Celestias day guards.
"Water?" you try asking for a drink of water but your mouth is so dry it came out as a wisper.

One of the guards holds out an empty glass and a pitcher full of cold water.

"Thanks" you reply dryly as you take the pitcher of water and ignore the glass. Cold refreshing water splashes onto your sore chest as you drink greedily from the pitcher, wetting your cracked lips and quenching your thirst.

"So I hear you gave the lunar guard quite a hard time last night" said one of your guards, grining ear to ear.

"Yeah well I'm in the dungeon now" You coldly reply.
You've never been in a dungeon before but you always imagined it would stink of death and sewage. As dungeons go this one seemed rather nice. But the discomfort of your full blader soon became impossible to ignore. There was a wooden bucket in the corner, And it didn't take a genius to figure out why.

You gave a sigh of relief as you pee into the bucket. How often do they empty the bucket? Once a day? Could you request a bigger bucket? When is meal time? How the hell am i going to escape? you wondered to yourself.

When you turn around both guards are staring at you in shock and disgust.

"What?" You ask.

"The toilet is just down the hall" Said one of your guards, swinging open your unlocked cell door.

"What are we gonna tell the poor maid that forgot her mop bucket?" The other guard asked.

Now you felt realy bad. You deserve to be in the dungeon for crimes against buckets.
"Maybe we could just get rid of the bucket and she never has to find out?" You suggest.

Both guards agree that would probably be for the best.

Hours passed as you talked with your guards, Iron Head and Razors Edge.
Turns out Iron Head is a fourth generation guard his sire, grandsire and greatgrandsire were all guards. And Razors Edge was a first genaration guard his parents were both Pegasai You couldn't imagine their surprise when he was born an earth pony.
You found out that they were under orders from Princess Celestia to protect you. And it was Celestia herself that bandaged your head.

They seemed like nice ponies, so for entertainment purposes you dramatically reenacted your duel with Silver Flourish.

The three of you jumped in surprise as Princess Celestia enthusiastically clapped her hooves together when you story came to an end.

"Sorry Princess we didn't see you come in" Said both guards snapping to attention.

"If I might have a moment alone with our guest" Said Princess Celestia insinuating that they should wait outside.

"Of course your majesty" they both said in unison as they hurried towards the door.

"Oh and guards" Celestia says stopping them and whispering in there ears "we are to be undisturbed let no one in until I leave. No matter what you might hear, no matter how indecent it might sound DONT! OPEN! THIS! DOOR! Do I make myself perfectly clear?"

"Yes your majesty" they reply snapping her a salute and hurrying out the door.

Once the guards were outside Princess Celestia turned to you and bowed low to the ground her regal face almost touching the floor.
"I extend my humblest apology. It seems I've caused you no small amount of pain and discomfort in our brief interactions. I am the one to blame for the injurys you sustained both last night and during "The Day Court Incident". If there is anything at all that I can do to make things right between us please don't hesitate to ask."

"Well now that you mention it...there is one thing, You say to the Princess. If it's not too much to ask. And I apologize if this seems a bit rude but...could you tell me more about luna?"

"I hope you realise just what it is your asking for, To use a Princesses body to sate your carnal desires-Wait... what did you say?" Princess Celestia asked in surprise, having assumed (and secretly hoped) that you were about to request something lewd.

"I asked if you could tell me about Princess Luna. Why what did you think-" you began to ask.

"Nothing" Celestia interrupted, winking suggestivly. "Why the sudden interest in Princess Luna? Princess Celestia asked. "Wait a minute... you didn't say princess..."

You just stand there, blushing and idly rubbing the back of your head, suddenly feeling rather foolish for making such a request.

"Oh so you and Lulu... wait a minute..." Ceslestia paused for a moment, carefully considering exactly what it was that you were implying. "You and Lulu! SQUEEEEEEE!!!" Celestia trotted in place no longer able to contain her excitement. "My little sister has a special somepony! ohmygosh!ohmygosh!ohmygosh! Tell me every thing!" Celestia exclaimed smooshing your cheeks together with her hooves.

"SQUEEEEEEE!!! Ohmygosh!ohmygosh!ohmygosh!"

"Hey Iron, did you just not hear what I just didn't hear?"

"No Razor, I most certainly did not hear what it was that you also didn't hear."

"Good, because I was hoping you didn't hear what it was that I didn't hear."

"Hey Razor, think it would be okay to guard this door from a little farther down the hall?"

"Yeah lets do that."
