The Night Shift

My name is Mason. I'm a night guard that sits at a desk and watches the cameras. I’m in charge of a warehouse in Area 51. Naturally I got out of the FBI. I thought I would go on vacation. “But no!” Mason thought to himself. “I'm forced to take a job as a night guard to insure nothing happens. HOW FUN!” Mason continued. “I knew I shouldn't have trusted Jones. He always finds a way to fuck me over.”

Mason remembered he was forced to work with Jones because his partner Henry was on maternity leave. Jones was new and took this opportunity to take an easy job to get a break from the crazy FBI work. The warehouse holds a lot of information and unusual finds. They have certain rules for the night guard shift but, not the day shift. When Jones had me apply for day shift. He switched our applications that same day so he got the day shift while I got screwed over with night shift.

"Jones gets to screw, and you get screwed," Mason said sarcastically in a pissed tone. The worse part is those warehouses owners took my phone at the beginning of the night. "You need to leave it in your locker and use the main lan-line. Because your phone can get hacked.”

Jones took the day shift where he gets to have fun at night. Mason sits in his chair, rocking back and forth thinking how is he going to torture Jones. He starts to hear the same noise for the 13th time tonight. Mason goes to the whiteboard and puts another tally for spooky noises. Almost on time, He hears the girly laughter noise. Then Mason goes to the whiteboard down in the second column written is “girly noises”

The number tally was 68 until Mason heard a voice next to his ear and hears a girly voice say, "What's wrong with exploring the unknown Mason? Why not choose adventure and fun over sadness and boringness and watch life pass you by?” Mason rolling backwards the chair made a lot bang which rang out like a flash-bang. Mason remembering his time in Cuba as an undercover agent stopping a drug crime syndicate with his partner Henry, a buff-looking bald Samoan man with lady problems.

Mason was in a kneeling prone position with his pistol out looking around. As he looked around scanning the area, and that’s when Mason noticed how quiet it had gotten. The vents usually made a humming noise, due to the creaking of the warehouse and because the wind hitting the building just right made it seem like the warehouse was rocking back and forth. The desk chair was broken beyond repair due to Mason rocking backwards. Mason frowning said, “Well this is probably going to come out of my pay check.” because of Mason's training. Mason wondered, “Why does so much happened at night and why not during the day?” Mason was pretty capable and pissed he had to put up with Jones and his bull shit. The only reason Mason put up with him is because Henry recommended him to be Mason’s temporary partner.

"If Jones was in day shift getting to see lots of action and fun, why can't I have some of that fun," Mason said with a curious yet greedy tone.

Mason stood up, holstered his pistol on his chest holster, walked to the office door, and opened it to check the warehouse out. He heard the noise coming from the left, so Mason went left a couple rows down, and as the emanating noise rang out again, it seemed to come from a create just barely opened with sounds of laughter and other sounds. Mason slowly opened the lid looking inside to see many techno-colored anthro humanoid horses and almost as if fate. Mason got yanked into this weird alternate reality. Has Mason had fallen into this world? An exact clone copy of Mason took his place like Mason never disappeared.

The new Mason closed the lid giggling to himself said, "that stupid human fell for it, and now I'm free." This new Mason looked up, and the whites of his eyes were yellow, and his pupils were red. Has the new Mason went back to the office. His eyes were reshaping to look like the original Masons' eyes. Then as if the new Mason saw something, he giggled a little more and then fixed the destroyed chair with magic and sat down and propped his feet up and then started whistling. Meanwhile, Mason fell into this new world, which was a split second. Then, it was dark. Mason opened his eyes with a grunt looked up and saw these blurry figures only to pass out.

Mason opened his eyes and saw two magenta eyes in the darkness looking back. When Mason thought, "Why do I smell vanilla?” That’s when the purple eye figure said, “I must ask who are you?”
Mason said, "You first as much as I know dimensional travel this is different from the briefing I was given." Mason saw the woman's eyes dart over his figure She seemed to be interested in who he was. The purple eyed figure came out of the shadows and said, “Well my name is Celestia and I’m the ruler of equestria.”
Mason shocked a little replied, “Why do you look
like a horse?”

Celestia giggled, and asked, “I don’t know what you were expecting?”
Mason striking conversation said, “Well I was expecting maybe a face hugger or two but I’m glad the briefing I was told about inter-dimensional travel is real but I guess they don’t prepare you for a Queen of a country, Huh.”
Celestia said, “I take that as a compliment. But now I need to know if you’re a threat?”

Mason confused replied, “I don’t have any reason to be a threat unless people give me a reason of course.”
Celestia retorted, “I don’t think you are since we scanned you with magic and the scans on you told us that your body hasn’t figured out how to use any magic.”

Mason asked, “Wait I can use magic?”
Celestia replied, “That depends because I had a few of our castles magic professors scanned your body for an accurate reading. I tried to scan you with mine but it wasn’t very accurate. But for the most part I feel like I’ve seen you before. Have you ever traveled to this dimension before?”
Mason replied, “Wait, What’s the plan here? Because I don’t know what’s happening and no I’ve never done an off world mission before.”

Celestia said, “Let’s get you a room and we can talk a little more about your life.” Celestia brought Mason out and was talking to him about his world and what’s it like. Mason and Celestia seemed to get along like a house on fire.

Several Months Later

Mason laughing with Luna and Celestia said, “and he said these hands are rated E for Everyone.” Luna and Celestia laughed harder and Mason sitting at the table and looking at the sisters saw their smiles fade just a bit.

Mason noticed and asked, “What’s wrong? You guys seem sad about something.”
Celestia replied, “The day court and night court have come to an Agreement to send you to Ponyville due to your circumstances.”
Mason said, ”Well, I would say fuck them but you guys are my friends. So if you want me to head to Ponyville then I will.”
Celestia and Luna looked back at each other and before Lune could speak.
Celestia replied, “It’s not that we don’t want you to stay but we are forced to be impartial and the majority voted you out of the castle.”
Mason stood up and held his hands up and said, “I get it, say no more. When do you guys need me out by?”
Luna in a sad mood said, “By tomorrow afternoon is when they agreed so you could move out by.”

Mason stood up and said, “No problem then I’ll head out tomorrow morning.” Mason walking to his room sighed and opened his door. Then sat on the bed with a frown looked out the window. Mason heard a knock at the door and perked up and said, “It’s open you can come in.”

Luna opened the door and asked, “I thought you were going to ask my sister if she wanted to date you? Like you told me when you were interested in her. When I got drunk with you at that party 3 weeks ago.”
Mason, slumped his shoulders more in a sad mood, and said, “I was but I noticed your sister’s expression changed she seemed to hate the idea of me leaving but you guys must stay impartial so arguing with the court would make this worse.”
Luna replied, “Well, Celestia was able to play her power to go with you to insure nothing happens to you on the trip to Ponyville.”

Mason thought out loud asked, “Do you think she seems brighter Just hanging out with me?”
Luna in a serious mood replied, “I positively believe you are the one for her.”
Mason, sarcastically, retorted, “Sure, but how would equestrians look at her and me you know? As much as I’d love to spit in the courts faces. I know I’d never win in this battle.”
Luna walking up to Mason and grabbed his shirt and said, “If I spend a thousand more years on the moon and you past away without getting married or even dating my sister. I will personally make torturing your soul priority number one for all demons to do.”

Mason shivered a little in fear but knew Luna was pulling his leg to some extent.
Luna instantly interrupted Mason’s thoughts and said, “I’m friends with demons and they owe me a lot of favors so don’t think I’m joking around here!”
Mason nodded his head in fear and replied, “I’ll tell her my feelings on the train ok.”

Luna said, “You bucking better or I’ll make sure you have nightmares every night.”
Luna left the room and Mason finished up his packing which was a total of seven different pairs of clothing.

Mason heard another knock on the door and said, “You can come in it’s unlocked.”
Celestia opened the door and walked over to the desk in the corner of the room and sat at the chair.

Celestia asked, “Is there anything you need from me like a place to stay for a while perhaps? In Ponyville of course.”
Mason replied, “Maybe, but my guess is you already have a place for me to go for a while.”
Celestia replied, “You know me so well. I have my student Twilight who is preparing a room for you in her home in Ponyville.”
Mason working up the courage to ask Celestia finally said, “Would you possibly be interested in dating or be interested in a relationship between us?”

Celestia quiet started giggling and said, “That’s the most flustered you’ve ever been and I wouldn’t mind dating you. It’ll have to wait though because I don’t want the two courts knowing or else they will start sending people for me to date or even marry.”

Mason curious asked, “Do you feel a spark when I’m around you or hanging out with you. Luna has told me that you are brighter when we hang out.”
Celestia thought deeply and replied, “I think there’s something there but we should not jump to conclusions about it yet ok. I do enjoy being with you so yeah I’d say I get brighter being around you.”
Mason agreed with that and said, “I’m going to bed so you should head back to your room too. It’s getting pretty late you know.”
Celestia standing up and moving to the door in a teasing tone replied, “What to scared to ask me to sleep with you, uh.”

Mason in an exasperated voice said, “Goodnight Celestia and if the court didn’t care I’d of asked a long time ago!”
Celestia closed the door and walked back to her room like nothing happened and then she closed the door to her room and ran and jumped on her bed and grabbed her pillow and blushing thinking about what Mason said about a spark.

Celestia thought out loud said, “I obviously feel the spark between us.”
Celestia used a spell to see Mason in his room writing in his journal. Mason writing his thoughts and feelings. Celestia not interested in the journal just watched Mason writing and saw Mason look out the window and see the moon rise.

Mason walked back to his bed and laid down and thought about Celestia and drifted off to sleep.
