Esmeralda's P.O.V: After Sombra's proclamation to the heavens of him being the King of Pizza, something strange had happened. He had been encased by a huge white light... And disappeared. I panicked. "Sombra?! Where are you?" I run around and shout. My heart races. "Sombra?! Sombra!" We may have not been on the best of terms...but we had this connection between us. Human and pony, we were inseparable. Even if we did fight most of the time. My worry turned out to be for nothing as Sombra reappeared. But he was..changed. Upon his head was a tiara, he had golden horseshoes on his hooves, and he had wings. I blinked as my brain processed this slowly. "Hey Esmeralda," he said, as if nothing had occurred. "I've got wings now." I finally came to my senses and burst out laughing. "Hahaha," I laughed like a maniac. "What's wrong Esmeralda? What do you find so funny about Harmony recognizing me as the King of Pizza?" "Sure, you're the King of Pizza....or should I say, Princess?" That led to me having another laughing fit. Sombra rolled his eyes and used his magic to pin me against the wall. "Esmeralda. Stop laughing." I didn't and he sighed. "Doesn't my crown look nice?" he said, levitating it off his head, only to choke in shock. "I- M-my crown! It's- it's a- a-" "A tiara." I finish for him. "Harmony, I hate you!" After realizing that he had stuff that a Princess would wear, he tore off the golden horseshoes in anger and managed to throw them out of the window. Luckily the tiara didn't fly out as well. After calming,Sombra put the tiara back on and said the words I would never forget. "Hahaha, I'm the Princess of Pizza now!" I felt a desire to smack his fluffy ass but held back. "Sombra..."

"I'm gonna dance, dance, dance..."View OnlineThe King Of Pizza 2"I'm gonna dance, dance, dance..."The King of Pizza 2 Chapter One "I'm gonna dance, dance, dance..." It was a cold night, and as everyone shivered beneath their blankets, desperately trying to keep warm, in one house, in the town of Seven Kings, music was blaring while a familiar grey unicorn danced to it with hula-hoops around his hips. "I'm gonna dance, dance, dance, with my hands, hands, han-" "Sombra!" yelled a voice from upstairs. The former King of the Crystal Empire groaned as he paused the video for what he swore had to be the hundredth time. "What the hell is it this time, Esmeralda?!" he all but yelled in exasperation. Honestly, he couldn't be blamed for getting irritated as for the whole day, the human had seemingly been unwell, and thus, required Sombra to make lunch, wash the dishes, put the dishes away, and so on. "Put the volume down!" "No way!" He could hear footsteps coming from the stairs. "Either you turn it down, or I will," said Esmeralda, the ungrateful human with whom he had been living. Honestly, she should be thankful that he was staying with her rather than going back to his own world. Though, he must admit that he had no way back, and anyways, the pizza here was one he'd give his whole kingdom for. As he made no move to do as she requested, Esmeralda walked into the room, picked the remote off the table, and pressed the down button. Her mouth fell open in shock as she gazed at the numbers. "Sombra… How the- How did you manage to put the volume up to one thousand?!" "To be honest, I wanted it to go up to one million, but spells only go so far, I guess." "You know, just because you have magic, it doesn't mean that you have to use it at every possible opportunity. Do you realise how loud that was? I'm surprised our neighbours haven't filed any noise complaints yet." "Well, that's because I made our house soundproof. No noise will ever leak out again! Hahaha! " "Show-off. Anyway, you can dance when I go to work. Right now, I need to sleep. " "Sleep later… I want to dance now. " She sighed, turned to the stairs and ran up, returning a few seconds later with a pair of headphones, which she plugged into the TV and put on the unicorn's head. She then unpaused it. I'M GONNA DANCE, DA- "Ah! Why is it so loud?!" yelled the former King, pulling the headphones off. "Now do you understand how loud it is for me? Be a good ruler and turn it off so I can rest and go to work tomorrow." "Ugh… Do you really need to do your job?" "Sombra, if I don't do my job, we'll run out of money." "Who needs money?! All I need is to dance, dance, dan-" "No money means no pizza," states Esmeralda bluntly. "So what? I don't need pi- Wait, did you just say we'd have no pizza?! " She nods. "We need money to buy pizza, remember?" The unicorn's eyes widen, and he throws himself onto his knees. "Then, Esmeralda, I implore you, do as much work as possible, and have all the rest you need! " He begins pushing her towards the stairs, and tries to pull her up. At this sudden change of behaviour, the human can't help but laugh. "Sombra, I can walk by mysel-" "Shh; don't talk. Don't use more energy than necessary," he urges, holding a hoof to his lips. He then goes back down, having failed to pull her up, and looks at her, as if conveying an order with his eyes. "What? Do I have something on my face?" "Esme… Come," he says, turning his back towards her. This action of his only serves to confuse her further. "What do you want me to do?" He facehooves and points to a framed picture on the wall, which depicts a much younger and smaller Esmeralda sitting on a horse. "Oh, you want to know what that picture is about? Well, when I was a child, I alway-" "Esmeralda, isn't it obvious? I want you to ride me." She blushes and turns her face away as it becomes red. "R-r-ride you?!" " Yes, so you don't lose energy by walking up the stairs. " "Oh, you meant that type of riding." " What, you thought I'd offer myself to you just like that? Honestly… " After that embarrassing misunderstanding, Esmeralda had literally jumped into bed because: She was very tired, and She didn't want to face Sombra. But sleep did not come to her as easily as she wished, as every time she closed her eyes, she would sneeze. Sombra watched her with a blank expression, while leaning against the doorframe with his hooves crossed. Eventually, he sighed, and lay a hoof on her forehead. "I guess you're actually unwell... Seriously… How could you have gotten ill? Who will earn money now…?" " I'm sure it's just a small cold, and it'll probably be gone by the morning. " "..." "And because I only deliver the pizzas, it should be fine for me to work as long as I wear a mask." " … " "Goodnight Sombra." "Goodnight Esmeralda," he replied automatically , but rather than leaving, he went to the bed and after taking his royal ornaments off, laid beside the girl and enveloped her in a hug. "S-" "Shh… I want to sleep with you tonight. And you need the warmth that only my fur can provide." When morning arrived, Esmeralda's reassurance from last night was now meaningless to Sombra, as rather than becoming better, her cold had only worsened to the point where it could now be called a fever. He passed a tissue box to her as he became tired of giving her a tissue every second, and then said, "Esmeralda! You said you'd be better in the morning!" "I said-" she coughed " probably. " "Now how can we get any pizza?" "That's the only thing you're worried about?" "Well," he scoffed " of course. " "Here I am, so unwell that I can't even get out of bed, and you're just worried about whether you'll eat pizza or not?!" " Well, duh. I love pizza! It's the only reason why I stayed on this earth, in this world of ungrateful and greedy humans who only want money for everything. " "So… if there wasn't any pizza, you'd just leave?" He shrugged. "I suppose so." An expression of agony and sadness overtook Esmeralda's features, and she put her head under the blanket. "But Esme," said he upon noticing this change, "of course I'd take you with me. I'm sure that even without the pizza, your delightfully innocent personality would have won me over. Though, I must say, your mind has decidedly become less innocent over the years. When I first met you, you were sexually ignorant, an-" "Do you really mean it?" Her voice was quiet as she asked this, with the smallest bit of hope leaking in. "Or are you just saying it because you think that'll make me feel better and you'll get rewarded by pizza?" "I swear upon my honour as the former Crystal king, now the King of Pizza, and always the Lord of Shadows, that those words came straight from my heart." She took the blanket off and looked at him with her arms stretched out. Taking the hint, he hugged her. Author's Note In my opinion , this looks way better than the original chapter one. ...I worked very hard on the coverart. Sure, I used Ponytown to help me, but I had to still do a lot of editing as unless you've got two different accounts, you can't do two ponies at the same time. I had to do Sombra and Esmeralda separately, crop the pictures, remove a bit of the background, and finally put it together. The fact that no one commented about it is sort of painful. Anyways, comments are appreciated, the readers are more than welcome to give me ideas, and getting some likes/favourites couldn't hurt.
"Isn't It Obvious?"View OnlineThe King Of Pizza 2"Isn't It Obvious?"The King of Pizza 2 Chapter Two "Isn't it obvious?" Sombra smiled as he looked in the mirror, combing his mane and spraying a variety of hair products onto it. Once he had finished his hair care, he hops off the tool in front of the bathroom sink, and slams the door behind him. However, what he least expected was to run into Esmeralda. "Sombra?" asks the human in surprise, for the grey unicorn would usually wake up after 12 PM. "What are you doing?" " Esmeralda. What are you doing? You're supposed to be in bed. " He stares at her and gestures to the bed to emphasise his point. "Well, I was trying to sleep, but a certain someone was making such a racket in the bathroom that I couldn't. So, what are you doing so early in the morning?" " Isn't it obvious? " he asks, levitating a flyer over and showing it to her. "I'm getting a job." Esmeralda blinks. "You're...getting a job," she repeats, unable to believe what she's just heard. "Yes, I am. Is there any problem with that?" "Sombra. You're a unicorn. In this world, unicorns are a mythical creature, and seeing a talking one that can do pretty much anything is going to get the government after you so they can lock you up and do experiments on you." Sombra frowns. "You're right...but nothing says I can't disguise myself and then get a job!" " What are you-" Esmeralda stops her question midway as a flash of light envelops the pony, and when it fades away, in Sombra's place is a six -foot tall man with a pale complexion and shiny black hair that ends just above his shoulders. "And that, my darling Esmeralda, is how it's done," Sombra says, winking, and without giving the human any time to process his transformation, slides down the rstairs and slams the door shut. It's late in the evening when Sombra returns, and Esmeralda pauses the episode of Hidden Love that she's watching. "Esmeralda! I'm back!" The transformed unicorn joyfully sings and hops into the living room after he's turned back into a pony. "I guess it went well? " "It was fantastic! The second I walked into that pizza restaurant to claim my job as a pizza delivery guy- because I didn't think I could handle making the pizzas because I'd get hungry- they gave me the job immediately! Like, all I had to do was to let them take a few pictures of me, and it was mine! And when I delivered the pizzas, the girls were all kind enough to let me have a slice!" " Let me guess, you told them you loved pizza and-" "You've got it all wrong! They begged me for a picture and offered pizza in return, and even said they'd order pizza from this restaurant more often!" Esmeralda felt a small pang of jealousy upon hearing that, but ignored it. Sombra's mine! He came to my house, he landed here! So why should- "Esme? I forgot to tell you, but since I managed to get the restaurant to have so many orders, the manager gave me a whole pizza for free. Let's share it? Since you're ill, it'd be rude if I didn't give you any. " She merely nods, with a smile at his sudden kindness, and unpauses the episode. A few days later… "Sombra? You don't need to go to work anymore. I'm completely well now," says Esmeralda as she walks out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. The grey unicorn takes a seat at the table and levitates the human's coffee out of her hands and in front of him. "Actually, you should stay home and get some more rest. I'll work for as long as possible!" As Sombra sips the coffee, Esmeralda sighs. My coffee...I made it and he stole it… "So...do you like working?" " Yes, is it that surprising? " "Well, you did enslave an entire Empire just to do your work. " "That was different. I was a King. Now I'm not." He stands up and turns in the direction of the door. "I'm going to go to work now; bye." Esmeralda shrugs as he transforms into a human. I guess I could relax a little… Her eyes widen as she realises something. If I don't get back to work today, I won't have a job any longer. One month later… Esmeralda and Sombra return home from the pizzeria, and the former kicks her shoes off and drops onto the sofa. "I'm exhausted…" the former groans. "That's why you should've rested like I told you to. " "I would've lost my job if I just stayed at home!" "So? I could work." " If we both work, we'll be able to save up a lot of money together. " "Save? But I'm going to spend my money. Isn't that the point of earning it?" " Spend it on what? " she quizzes. The former King grins. "Pizza! Well, not pizza since I get more than enough from my fans, so I guess I'll get pizza-themed accessories. " He pulls his phone out of his pocket and then transforms into himself. "Since when did you have a phone?" " Since I started my job. I have to fit in, after all," he replies in a tone that sounds like it's obvious. Esmeralda shakes her head and says, "But you shouldn't spend all of it. Now that you've got a job, you can pay half of the rent. And pay for your own pizzas." " Esmeralda… Paying rent is boring! It's my money, so I can do whatever I want with it! " he exclaims in exasperation. Why is she trying to be so lazy and make me pay? She sighs. And he said that he could've worked instead of me. If I let him, we'd be on the road. "Fine. I'm going to have a shower." Sombra doesn't reply as his eyes are glued to the screen, with a smile forming on his lips as he sees all the pizza-themed things he can buy.

"What's an obby?"View OnlineThe King Of Pizza 2"What's an obby?"The King of Pizza 2 Chapter Three “What's an obby?” “Happy New Year, Sombra!” says Esmeralda cheerfully as soon as the clock strikes twelve. “Happy New Year!” he responds, smiling. “I can't believe that I've actually managed to survive another year with you.” “Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!” she asks in mock offence. “It's New Year, and you didn't get pizza to celebrate? I'm sure that if I decide to work tomorrow, my fans will give me enough pizza boxes to build a tower with!” “How would you even eat the pizza?” “Duh…I'll have them feed me it. They'll be more than happy to.” “What would you do to celebrate New Year in Equestria?” “I'd tell my slaves that they had to work until midnight and as a treat, one hour before the New Year began, they would have to run through a maze that had spikes that would shoot out of the ground without any warning. It was good exercise, and I'm sure they loved it, but I cancelled it after too many perished.” Esmeralda grimaces. “I do believe that I asked what you did, not what your slaves did.” “Oh, isn't it obvious? I'd watch them suffer,” he states. Esmeralda sighs. “...I wonder how such a tyrant became a cute adorable pony.” “Because you reformed me. But I do miss the old days sometimes.” “So,” she says, changing the topic, “what do you want to do?” “Don't think that you can change the topic on me so easily! I want you to listen to me.” “You're not going to regale me with tales of how you treated your slaves, are you?” “Of course not,” snaps Sombra. “Now, listen carefully. I still remember the blackened streets of the Crystal Empire, corrupted forever by the ponies who lived in it.” “What, were they evil?” “Don't interrupt me! And no, they weren't evil, it was just their punishment. Well,” he said at Esmeralda's look, “they were evil…in a way. Anyways… My Empire was the most advanced land at that time, in terms of technology and the like…” A few hours later… “And now that tyrant Sunbutt has won! I can't let her win! I need to go home… I want my Empire back!” Sombra burst into tears, repeating the same thing over and over again, while Esmeralda watched with a mixture of amusement and shock. “Stop crying, that won't get you anywhere.” The former unicorn laid his head in her lap and looked at her with wet crimson irises. She stroked his mane, enjoying how soft it felt, and saw how it calmed him. The room was silent, save for the sound of their breathing. “I never thought that you, of all people…ponies…whatever, would get homesick,” remarked Esmeralda. “So what if I'm homesick?” Sombra asked. “Does it matter…?” “What are you talking about? Of course it matters. In fact, I'll take the job of making you stop feeling homesick.” “But how?” His tone was one of genuine curiosity. “Do I have to take some sort of medicine? Ugh, I hate pills…” “No,” Esmeralda assured him, struggling not to laugh. “You don't have to take any medicine at all. I don't think there's one for homesickness anyways.” “Then what are you going to do?” She smiled and showed him two Samsung Tablets. “It's been a while since we've relaxed together. So, we'll both play Roblox. There's this game I've been playing, but it's so hard to win… I also chose to get tablets because it's much more fun playing on them. These tablets are even branded as gaming tablets.” “I'm sure that I could win it. So, what are you waiting for? Let's play!” Half an hour later, they were both joining Break In, A Roblox Story Game. Esmeralda couldn't help but smirk as she took all the hidden snacks, while Sombra just followed her, trying to get the stuff before she could. This is fun, he thought as the Pizza Boss whirled around, causing the unfortunate players around him to lose three energy points for every time he hit them. “And finished! I told you that I could win it!” Sombra said smugly as Esmeralda danced in joy. “Yes! It's finally finished! Now I can finally play Break In 2!” “There's a Break in 2?” Sombra asked in amazement. “Mhm,” Esmeralda nodded as it loaded. “I'm sending you an invitation…” “I swear, you're like a lucky charm! You're so good at playing…” “Of course I'm good at playing.” Sombra merely smirked and asked, “Shall we play Break In 3?” “Are you seriously asking that? Of course!” Esmeralda enthusiastically replied, only for her smile to fall flat as she realised something. “There is no Break In 3… Well, not an official one…” Sombra frowned. “Hm… While it's not an official one, giving it a try couldn't hurt, right?” Ten minutes later… “I guess giving it a try did hurt,” remarked Esmeralda as she confirmed that she wanted to leave the experience. “This was so boring…” “Yeah,” agreed Sombra unhappily. “I hope an official one comes out soon.” “Let's play some obbys,” she suggested. “What's an obby?” “I love obbys,” declared Sombra as he finished the Climb 1000 Stairs To Admin Obby. “Let's play another one!” A few more hours passed like this, until they eventually ran out of charge, and thus, had to stop playing. The charge outage was more than welcome, or at least, to Esmeralda it was, for she was exhausted. Sombra on the other hand wished that it lasted a little longer… Noticing his glum expression, Esmeralda sighed and said, “I sort of wish that the charge didn't run out, but we need a break, right?” Sombra whined, “But it was so fun… I loved that waterpark obby… And Brookhaven…” “If you want, we can do this every weekend,” she offered, hoping to make her companion feel better. “Really?! Thanks so much!” he exclaimed, hugging her due to his joy. Esmeralda smiled and relaxed in his warm embrace. When you're happy, I'm happy.
