The Pony Protection Agency

{Alex}

The next day after the engagement party, I went to Equestria with Twilight to talk about wedding arrangements with Twilight's friend Rarity.

"As I said before Twilight," Rarity gushed, "you have picked one hunk of a human to be your mate."

Twilight giggled, "It's more like we picked each other. See my necklace that Alex's father Hugo gave me?"

Twilight pointed to the necklace around her neck that had the other half of the amulet of true love on it. I didn't realize that her half of the amulet had turned into a red rose.

Rarity gasped when she saw it, "My, my, darling! That has to be… I have no idea how many carats that rose is but it's magnificent!"

Twilight shook her head. "No Rarity, I'm not giving it to you like Spike gave you his ruby crystal."

"I wasn't going to ask for it darling," said Rarity, "I swear I wasn't, I was just admiring it."

Twilight raised an eyebrow, "Uh-huh."

Rarity cleared her throat and gave me a look, the same one that made me uncomfortable when I first met her. Twilight did a facehoof and groaned when she saw that. "Honestly Rarity, I hope I don't have another Lucky Bee situation on my hooves. You know what the law says about that."

"Sorry Twilight I can't help it!" Rarity whined, "He is one hunk of a human." Then she pouted, "I'm the one who should be able to get the hunky men every time I go to Earth to do business there."

I looked over and snorted when I saw Twilight's friend Rainbow Dash, with an unhappy look on her face as she stood there wearing her bridesmaids dress for the wedding.

"This is so not funny Mr. Shipman," Rainbow Dash growled, "Rarity, do I really have to wear this? It doesn't feel like it fits right! Remember the last bridesmaids dress you designed for me? It was so tight, I had to take it off just so I could do my sonic rainboom."

Rarity stopped staring at me and turned her attention to Rainbow Dash's grumbling about her dress. "Hmm, let me see Rainbow."

She lit up her horn and pulled a measuring tape out of thin air. She also picked up in her magic a notepad and jotted some things down on it. “I see darling, well I’ll have to make some adjustments for it. Or maybe I could add a break away skirt so you can do your sonic rainboom.”

“It’s interesting, a sonic rainboom sounds like something out of a fictional story,” I said.

Rainbow Dash agreed with me. “It was considered an old ponies tale until I discovered I could do it.”

“That’s right, Rainbow Dash is the only pony that can do it,” Twilight said. Then she sighed, “It’s too bad Pinkie won’t be there to see it.”

Applejack groaned, “Yeah her stoning ceremony is tomorrow. I just can’t believe somepony like her would do something like that! Not to mention using a silly playful song as a way to bait her victims!”

“I know unfortunately with the evidence we’ve been able to gather, Pinkie is guilty of a crime,” I heard Princess Luna say. When we saw her we bowed to her.

“So you’re saying you actually did find evidence against her?” Twilight asked.

“Well yes,” said Princess Luna, “You know just as well as I do we need more evidence than witness testimony. Of course even if there was no evidence of that crime she would still be sitting in a dungeon for the rest of her life. But we were able to follow up on Pinkie’s workshops and we found exactly what we were looking for. I guess Pinkie was counting on the fact that humans don’t realize ponies are living on Earth now.”

"But she forgot another thing about humans. They have law enforcement also. Honestly unless you’re on a desert island you can’t get away from rules and regulations. No pony is above the law; it doesn’t matter if they’re of royalty."

Twilight sighed, "I know, I just wish Pinkie would've come back willingly instead of taking things this far."

Princess Luna had a sad look on her face. "Although this is a very heartbreaking event, what else is coming up is a happy one. I would call Mr. Shipman, Mr. Shipman still but seeing as we're getting ready to be in-laws, I think I'll just call him Alex."

She turned to me and smiled. "Is that okay with you Alex?"

I nodded. "Sure, that's fine."

"You'll also be the first human ever to be put into the royal family!" Princess Luna said.

"Huh?" I asked, "I'm the first one?"

Princess Luna nodded. "Yup, the first one! Although there have been humans that have married ponies here and the same arrangement applies to them as they live in Equestria like ponies that chose to live on Earth. Humans wear magic necklaces so they can live in Equestria in peace. You might want to think about getting a magic necklace so you can do the same.”

"Your coronation ceremony will be a very private event. Your father Hugo has agreed to be there as your family member. Are you going to invite Agent Client and the rest of your friends to be there?"

Amidst all of the chaos that's been happening with meeting Hugo, catching Pinkie and bringing her back to Equestria, and wedding planning I hadn't thought about who I was going to invite to my coronation ceremony or the wedding.

"Well I hadn't thought about who to invite yet with all of the chaos going on," I said.

"I see," Princess Luna said, "Okay then, well give it some thought and let me know by tomorrow because the wedding is in two weeks from now."

"I can do that," I said.

After I got done getting measured for my coronation, I went back to the PPA HQ to register for a magic necklace to live in Equestria in peace when I'm there. Twilight and I had decided to live at the PPA HQ in my apartment. We also decided that Twilight would go back and forth through the portal so she could do her job and I would do the same when I got called out on assignments.

As I suspected, I would have royal duties to attend to. But since I was also an agent for the PPA, my royal duties would be on hold when I got called out on an assignment.

So when I got back to the PPA HQ, I talked to Violet, Abigail and Simon about inviting them to the wedding and coronation ceremony.

"Well, I'm going there's no way I'm going to miss my best friend's wedding and coronation ceremony!" Violet said.

Abigail nodded. "Mhm, that goes for me too."

Simon agreed, "Yup same here."

"And since you're still considered new and not getting ready to go on assignments yet," said Agent Lawrence, "Agent Ryker and Agent Carter you two will still have some free time on your hands."

"Well then," I said, "that settles it. Unfortunately there's another ceremony we're going to have to attend tomorrow."

I could tell no one wanted to talk about it much because it was a painful thing to talk about. Pinkie's stoning ceremony was about the same as the death penalty on Earth. From what Princess Luna told me about it, before the stoning spell was placed on the one being punished, an amulet was placed around the neck of the one being punished. This amulet keeps the pony being punished alive while they're in stone the whole entire they're being punished. Once that pony is turned to stone their statue is buried in the ground.

Sometimes, the pony being punished in this fashion is only turned to stone for a few years, and that depends on the crime or for all eternity. Sometimes when a new ruler takes the throne, the punishment for those ponies turned to stone is overturned and they are released from stone and put in a dungeon to be reformed before being released back into society.

I had no idea if somewhere in the future Pinkie would be turned back from stone and reformed so she could be released back into society or not.

"Well," said Simon, "Pinkie Pie was a serial killer and most of the time serial killers can't be reformed. If those types of people are released back into society there's a high chance that they'll kill again. So it's better for Equestria and Earth for this to happen."

I sighed, "I know."

Even still, I didn't want to go to the stoning ceremony.

{Pinkie Pie}

I sat down on my thin mattress in the dungeon that I was in before I was to face being turned to stone that next day. I thought about taking my own life but I decided against it. I had hope that Princess Luna might just come in and change her mind about this punishment. But I guess being turned to stone for a long time wouldn't be so bad. I wouldn't have to eat anything or go to the bathroom.

There wasn't much light in the dungeon except for the torches that lined the walls outside of it. I saw a shadow walking down the hallway. I recognized the shadow as Princess Luna.

When she entered the dungeon I bowed to her.

"Princess Luna!" I said. "Please tell me you've come here to tell me you've changed your mind about my stoning ceremony and want to keep me in a dungeon instead."

Princess Luna shook her head. "No I'm sorry Pinkie it's out of my hooves. You saw the evidence provided against you in your trail at the Royal Court. Given what you did and how many lives you took, how can you expect me in good conscience to use my power of authority to overturn your punishment? What about the punishment you gave your victims huh? Tell me Pinkie, what do you think about that?"

I sighed, "Yeah I know, Twilight and everyone else has been telling the same thing you told me. The truth is, I don't think about it. It… It… It was fun! What I did was fun! If I could do it all over again, I would."

Princess Luna gave me a look of disgust and contempt. I don't blame her because killing someone or somepony is a serious crime. I don't see why that is though because if you ask me, I'm just helping out natural selection for both Equestria and Earth.

Princess Luna snarled. "I don't know what gives you the right to say who can live and who can't! You killed people and ponies in the name of fun? How dare you! It's ponies like you that are threats to society and need to be kept out of it! Agent Carter was right, once a serial killer, always a serial killer! To think if you had not done this, you would be at the wedding for your friend Twilight and her soon to be husband Alex. But no," she shook her head in sadness. "I don't understand. I don't want to understand. To protect Equestria and Earth you will be turned to stone. And when I finally hand over the throne to Princess Twilight and go into retirement like I was originally planning with Celestia, I doubt she'll overturn your punishment either."

"That's what I was wondering," I said. "Why did you decide to keep the throne and not hand it over to Twilight?"

"Because I felt that she needed more time to learn and grow," Princess Luna said. "From what I can see now, she has grown quite a bit. From where I stand she's ready to start ruling over Equestria and I can finally step down knowing that the right pony has been picked for the job."

"Oh, I see," I said. "Well, I guess there's nothing much I can do at this point then."

"You can say that again!" Princess Luna said, "I'm only here to say my final goodbye to you as it is my custom to do for those that are being turned to stone. I wouldn't bother trying to take your life beforehand if I were you, although it would save us the trouble. But as you can see, we took everything out of your cell and you're chained down your bed. So yeah, good luck trying to figure that out. I hope I never see you again!"

With that last remark, I flinched at how hard Princess Luna slammed the door to the dungeon with her magic in anger. Well, there's nothing else I can do. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted…

When Twilight and I along with Violet, Abigail, and Simon stood watching as Pinkie was turned to stone and then her statue was buried in the ground, there wasn't a dry eye in the area. I found myself crying along with everyone else. But more importantly, I wasn't just crying for Pinkie, I was crying for those people and ponies that she killed.

Thanks to my abilities I was able to find every single pony and person that Pinkie killed and I gave their names to the PPA. Hugo was able to confirm the dead by looking through the records that his royal advisors keep in the Underground.

Weeks later was the wedding, the coronation ceremony and soon after was the honeymoon.

The first day of the honeymoon Twilight and I were sitting in the hotel room where we decided to stay.

"You know what Alex?" Twilight said.

"What?" I said.

"I can understand why Pinkie was so anxious to come to Earth now," Twilight said. "There is so much to explore and learn here. Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we play a game to keep ourselves from thinking about Pinkie."

"Okay, what is it?" I said.

"I think I'll call it 'Capture the Spouse!" Twilight said. "Kind of like capture the flag but we have to capture each other first."

I tried to keep myself from laughing at Twilight's adorable idea of foreplay because I know how she is by now. She's always coming up with stuff like this to get me interested in sex. Sometimes she wants to try things just to see what happens.

Yup, the pet name Innocent definitely fits her alright. I thought.

Twilight stuck out her tongue playfully. "Yeah, yeah I know, so I was thinking, you hide on one end of the room and I'll hide on the other."

I snorted, "Okay then, sure I'll play your little game. You know what it's going to end up in right?"

"Yeah whatever," said Twilight, "1, 2, 3, go!"

There was a flash of light and Twilight disappeared. I had a feeling where she might be but I didn't check in the most obvious places first. I went to the least obvious instead.

"Oh Twilight," I called out, "come out, come out wherever you are!"

I smiled when I found myself unable to move because I knew this was Twilight's magic being cast on me. Twilight tackled me and rolled me over on my back, she took my pants off and thrust into me.

It seemed like every time we had sex she was becoming a little bit aggressive about it. She would always stop if she thought she was hurting me. If that happened she would cast a healing spell and be very apologetic about it. The thing is she didn't really hurt me and I kept telling her if that was the case, I would've been begging for her to stop.

I think one of Twilight's favorite things to do was to make me climax as many times as possible. She always drove me nuts doing that and that was probably the whole point of it.

After sex, Twilight and I just laid on the floor next to each other. Twilight lit up her horn and floated in her magic a blanket to us and covered us up with it.

I smiled as I rolled over and cuddled with Twilight. I put my head on her shoulder and she just seemed so content and happy to be held by me. When I reached up and bit her ear, she laughed, "I don't know why that always makes me laugh. I bet that's why you do it all the time, huh?"

I laughed, "That's part of the reason why, but most of the time I just do it because I want to."

Twilight sighed a happy and contented sigh, "Yup, Princess Luna was right I have found my Husband."

I chuckled. "And I've found my wife."

At this moment, I felt very happy and content for once in my life. Against all odds I found my wife that just so happens to be an Alicorn princess named Princess Twilight. Although I do have a feeling every single event that led up to now, was already foretold in my future.
