Medical Wing Red Site.

My eyes open slowly to adjust to the light in the hospital room a green curtain is around the bed, as I sit up I flinch from the lasting pain after my stupidity. I press the call bottom and wait for a response.

A few minutes later Nurse Green Side enters by pushing the curtains aside with a happy voice and a big smile she looks me over. "Morning sweetheart, are ye ready to start your day." Nodding I reply. "Yeah, I think I am, I feel like I can't sleep more, what time is it?"

Nurse Side start to check my chitin and with a smile she nods to her self. "Ye looking good the chitin is full heal ye can probably get discharge today if the doctor say it's okay. The time is 7.20 in the morning, did you sleep well ye look a bit tired."
Tec: "I do sleep well but I have these dreams that make me a bit confused. It's about my." 'Stopping myself.' "Just weird dreams it all."
Side: "Oh sweetie, if you are having weird dreams you will feel better if you speak about them. So tell me what are you dreaming about?"
I sigh. "Well, it's not something I can speak openly about, per Celestias orders as it's connected to my past. So I'm sorry I can't tell you anything."
"Don't worry your head over it sweetie, I know the princess and you have your secret talks about your past. I just wish to help you." she says as she combs my mane to the side.
Tec: "Yeah, I know but the less ponies knows about my past the better."

There's a knock at the door. As I look over I lock eyes with Celestia, she's wearing her warm smile as she looks me over.
"Rise Green Side." That's when I see Side rising from a bow I didn't see her go into.

"I heard you're ready to be discharge today." Celestia says with glimmer in her eyes. I feel a weird chill down my spine, I shake it off.
"Yes Celestia, Dr Ever Hoof is going to do a last check on me before I can leave, I'm ready to get back to the routine." At that Celestia's smile widen.
"Oh, Tec I have some good news for you, you're going be free to move around the castle and Canterlot." I blink a few times.
"What do you mean with that? I thought I was meant to be some type a secret."
"You're correct, but after your little dual there needed to be changes, so I and my aids have been holding meetings to see what we can do to with you. And we came to a decision."
"What is that Celestia?" I give her a glare, knowing full well she has gone something that will give me problems.
The smile she gives me grow wider still. "How is that possible, pony magic? whatever I need to focus."

"With how you have adapted to you're situation and have help us with many problems from my aids, even if they against this I made a point to point out all the advantage of this." I tilt my head feeling that weird chill again.
"I'm adopting you Tec into the royal family." The room falls into silence at the statement, I can feel my brain stop working and start rebooting. "What is she thinking, is she crazy? I need to know is she serious?" I focus my ability to feel emotions on her, solely on her. I feel pride, determination, happiness and a bit of worry. "F it she serious, how did it become like this?" I pull back my ability and take a few deep breath then lock onto Celestia's eyes, her eyes still glimmering.
"Celestia, why would you...." I was cut off by a female voice of a filly. "AUNT, YOU CAN'T BE REALLY THINKING OF ADOPTING THIS THING!" All eyes in the room fall onto this unicorn filly, she's about 6-8 years old with a white coat with no cutie mark yet, hay colored mane/tail and blue eyes. She stands at the door in a battle stands that only make her look more cute than threatening.
The feelings radiating form this filly is disgust and hate. But what's more worrying is Celestia's feelings the sadness and disappointment I feel she's overpowering my senses as she speaks.

"Niece, I told you not be prejudice against Tec. You did just that and not only that you insults her as is not bad enough I told you she's a ruler from foreign kingdom and have help Equestria with her knowledge and needs our help. Blueblood you have made me very disappointed." The filly's ears falls to the back of her head as she sits down looking at her hooves.
I tone out their voices as Celestia start to talk with the filly, my head starts to hurt with all of their emotions filling the room.

One thing I get form the storm of emotions is that the filly is really sorry, so I speak up.
"Celestia calm yourself your emotions are to strong and don't be to hard on her." Both Celestia and Blueblood looks at me and I feel the pressure to my mind lighten. "Sorry Tec, I lost my self there abit." I wave off her comment and look over to the filly. "Are you okay?" She looks at me and nods.

"Good." Looking back to Celestia I continue. "Celestia I know you care for Blueblood alot and try to spend time with her and guide her, but what she just said is not her own thoughts and you know it." Celestia nods at this. "And Blueblood you shouldn't listen to all what you're friends tell you. They might cloud your judgment on others, please meet a creature and make you're own decision on the creature you meet is good or bad." Blueblood is looking at me with wide eyes.
"And for you're information I have not made a decision to be adopted by you're aunt and even if I do I will not take away your time with her. I have my own life to live, do you understand?" Blueblood nods and meets Celestia's eyes as she is looking down at her.

"So tell me Celestia why did you go down this path? Is it because of my knowledge, pity or is it only to have me in your hooves?" Celestia looks abit sad a my statement, I feel an stab in my heart I sigh. "Sorry Celestia, I didn't mean to hurt you. You know I have problems with begin help, sorry."

Celestia comes over to me and hugs me. "I know Tec, that's one of the reasons I chose to adopt you, to give you a chance to accept help and make friends that you can rely on. The second is so you can be safe and not used by the other nobles even if I know you will not be so easily fooled by them." I nod slowly and smile. "But that's not all Celestia is it?" Celestia smiles big.
Celestia release me from the hug. "You're sharp as ever, I want you to help you live better with a chance to join ESS so you can explore the world."
"Aunt you want her to join Equestria Secret Service?" Celestia looks back at Blue and give her a nod. "Yes, Tec here wants to travel the world as an sell sword, but as we don't have don't have that anymore I thought this would be an great way for Tec to get her wish and to help Equestria until she will reinstate herself as a ruler." She looks back at me with that warm smile I have become accustomed to.

"Well that sounds like a plan." I say with a smile on my face. "So where do we go from here?"
"Well my plan was for you and Blueblood to meet so you can study together and help both of you to live in the castle, but as Blueblood didn't obey me on this you to can talk as me and Green Side meet with the Dr Ever Hoof."

With that they leave, leaving Blueblood with me. We're like frozen in time she standing by the door me laying in bed looking at her. With a sigh she starts speaking. "Why did you help me?"
I answer as I let my head flop down on the pillow. "Hmm, help you it's more I helped Celestia and my self, she cares for you but can't discipline you as she would a normal pony because the love she holds for you." Blues cheeks turn a bit pinkish.
Blue: "But why?"
Tec: "I could feel it, the love and sadness all." I let my eyes meet hers as she walks closer to the bed. "I can feel all the emotions you two spilled out and it hurt me. So the best thing I could do is to help you both. I know you don't fully understand it, but those ponies you spend time with are trying to control you to get to Celestia."
Blue: "Why would they do something like that?"
Tec: "They want to gain something from you that Celestia will not agree too, but that because you are highest ranking noble except for Celestia. You may not think about it you have power that can change thing around you for better or worse."
Blue tilts her head to the side giving me a thoughtful look it's cute.
Blue: "So you mean I can change thing around Canterlot with my words and actions?"
I nod. "Yes you can and that's dangerous, because you can make problems for others and even hurt them."
Blue looks shocked at my words.
Tec: "I guess that's why Celestia wants us to be friends, so I can help you see what's right and wrong with what other ponies wish of you."
Blue: "Why would she do that for me."
I give her a smile. "Because she loves you and wants you to be a strong and rightful pony."
Blue looks surprise at my words but smile happy, but it falls as she looks almost sad.
Blue: "You're not like what the other said you are, I'm sorry for being angry at you."
I reach and pets her head. "You are forgiven, you where blinded by the others word and your own worry about me being adopted. But keep in mind what happened today, so you don't make the same mistake again."
She nods and gives me a light smile as I continue to pet her head.

We continue to talk about want she like and dislikes and tell her bits about my self until Celestia returns with the doctor and nurse I get my check up and get discharge with orders not to much stress on my body and rest often.

We all return to my old room, their I get adoption paper to read and sign. I see that I will have two sub guardian that will take care of my daily needs, their names are Night Wind (Theastrals) and Candy Warp (Unicorn) they're moving to Canterlot to meet and live with me so that I don't put to much work on Celestia.
It seems I will live in the castle with guards around me until they arrive.

Few hours later Centerlot Castle.

We enter the castle with some royal guards, there are not a lot of ponies in the halls as I'm lead to my new room, Blueblood is talking with me as we been friends for life it's a bit irritating but it's better that she sees me as friend than a threat. "It will take time to get over that in this world he is a she. Celestia and me will have to talk about it later if needed."

As we get closer to the room I can hear a voice I haven't heard for some time and last time is insulted me and Rosaria. It's Ice Pike she's screaming at a guard that is standing in front of a door I guess is my new room.
Ice: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T ENTER THE ROOM!"
Guard: "Sorry miss Pike I been given strict orders not to let no one to enter until Princess Tec'ondra see it fit to have visitors."
Ice Pike snarls at the guard and is about to say something but was interrupted by Celestia.
"My little pony what can I do for you." Ice falls quiet then with a look of horror turn to Celestia and bows. "Sorry your highness Celestia I just wanted to enter Tec'ondras room so I can pay back my debt and this guard wouldn't let me in to the room."

Tia: "I know miss Pike, I was the one that gave the orders to the guards for Princess Tec'ondras room to be safe. The guard is only following orders."
Ice: "Sorry your Highness."
Tia: "You're forgiven Ice Pike, but how did you get the information that this room was going to become Princess Tec'ondras and how did you know that today is the day she enter the castle?" I lean over to Blue and whisper in her ear. "That's one way they can use you and get information on others." Blue nods with the understanding.
Ice: "Sorry your Highness I got the information from one off my friends."
Tia: "It seems that you have used your family contacts again, Princess Tec'ondra what will you do with her."
Ice looks up at me with anger and fear in her eyes. With a heavy sigh walk up to Ice Pike. "Rise miss Pike, so I can see your eyes more clearly." She dose as commanded glaring at me as she does. I let my ability read her emotions to make the appropriate reaction to her as we speak.

Tec: "So miss Pike I know you're eager get rid of your debt to me and we both know you have you're pride to think of, am I right."
(emotions = angry, hopeful, disappointed)
Ice: "Yes, that's why I came looking for you so we can get this over with."
Tec: "Okay give me a minute so I can prepare a bit for us, if we're going to speak about this matter it's better we do it in side my room." I turn to look at Princess Celestia and Blueblood give a slight bow. "Sorry your Highness Celestia and your Highness Blueblood it seems I have something to take care of, so allow me to leave first and can we speak more at tea or dinner later?"
Tia: "Very well Princess Tec'ondra we will take our leave as well I will send somepony to get you for our meal later."
Tec: "Thank you your Highness see you later you to Blueblood." Whom gives a nods and join Celestia as they walks away down the corridor.

Looking at Ice we enter the room that have been assigned to me, it's a big room made out off white marble with big windows looking out on the mountain of Canterlot and the city, there's a door to the left that stands slightly open where I see a bathroom. On the right there is a big bed, big enough for four adult size ponies. The sound of the door slamming behind me stops me from looking around the room, as I get grab by an magical aura and is pushed against a wall.

Ice: "Okay you little shit I will have answers and you will give them, understand?"
Giving her a evil gin. "Can you a least let me sit down at the table so we can be a bit civil?"
She levitates me to the small table by the window and puts me down on a cushion, Ice sits down opposite to me and glare with such intensive I could combust on the spot.
Tec: "So want your questions."
Ice: "Want the buck was that shit you said to me after the dual. What do you mean "I'am going to have fun next time we meet."."
Tec: "What do you think I meant with that." Ice becomes a bit red on her cheek and her emotion becomes a wild mix of arousal and anger with a bit of shame.
Ice: "I..... I was thought you where going to" She becomes silent and her anger flare up with force as she rise and point a hoof against.
Ice: "You did this to me, you made me think of all the things you could do to me, it's your fault I can't stop thinking about you." Ice sits down quiet with tomato red face.
Holding back my snicker. "So you have been thinking about me." I say with a playful tone. Ice lock her eyes onto mine.
Ice: "And I hate you for it."
Letting out a sigh. "Ice Pike, I know you don't hate me, but I can understand how you feel. Well I can taste it."
Ice looks at me confused. "What do you mean you can taste it."
Tec: "I'm a changeling I eat emotions, I can feel them from all around me. But I block most of them out or I might go crazy with all I would feel." I shake my head slowly and give her a sad smile.
Tec: "I know what you really feel. I'm sorry I said that to you that day, a bad habit got the better of me."
Ice: "So why did you say it?"
Tec: "It's a way for me to scare other to control them, to believe I will do something worse to them the next time we meet. It's bad and I'm sorry." I bow my head to her.

As the silence hanged in the air, the only sound in the room is our breathing slow deep breaths. I was all cut by one sentence form Ice.
"What buck is wrong with you! Do you believe you can just say sorry and all will be right in the world."
My head shoots up and looking at her, shes crying.
"No, you're right nothing I do will make things right and I'm ready to pay for it, the world is not a thing of sunshine and rainbows." I rise from my seat and walk over to her, her eyes not leaving me. As I get close she leans away from me but I grab her and hugs her.
She tried to struggle in the beginning but stopped and just cried as hugs me back. We sat there what felt like hours holding onto each other.

After Ice have calmed down, I hear her whisper.
"Are you really just a filly?"
I laugh at that and push my self away so I can see her eyes. "Nah, not really, but that's a long story for another time. Are you feeling better?"
She nods giving a weak smile. "Yeah I'm better but you still need to pay for what you did too me and I will make it a double."
"Yeah, you have all the right to do that."
"So why did you make a deal with me in the dual?"
"Oh that, I was thinking to have you do some dumb thing for me or something like that, but after the dual as I lay in the hospital bed I thought I was just letting emotion get the better off me. So I actually don't have a plan for you. Sorry."

Ice blinks a few times then out off nowhere she kisses me on my lips, my brain goes into overdrive as I get directly feed love, arousal and more into me. My body starts to shake with the new energy given to me, the taste is intoxication sweet like vanilla ice cream with a hint of cookie dough, it's not like the filler crystals I been feed up until this point and their bland taste. As my mind goes blank I feel something shift inside me.

After the kiss has ended my mind reconnect and I let out a gasp of air I didn't know I was holding, as my eyes adjust I see Ice looking concerned as she holds me, her voice comes slowly into focus. "Tec are you okay, what have I done. I know it's was wrong to" I put my hoof on her mouth and says in what I think is a normal way but is actually slurring my word as a drunk. "Shh, I'm ok-okay, that waaas some strong stuuuuff, but yoooulu should do thaaaat with other wa-wa-watching, that erm, be not good as I look like a silly filly and mommy Tia might do something to us." I burst out into laughter at my statement.

Ice looks more shocked and worry then before, she helps me onto the bed as I start singing a drunkards song she don't understand as she lay me to bed I'm filled with a calm that takes me into the heavy sleep.

After I left Tec with Ice Pike and say goodbye to Blueblood, I entered my office and sit down. I activate a spell so I can see and hear what Tec and Ice are doing. As I hear their conversation and how ever thing seems to be fine between them. Then I see something shocking Ice kisses Tec on the lips and it seem like Tec is first shocked then an weird look crosses her face and as the kiss ends Tec gets this goofy smile on her face as Ice's face gets more worry.

I rises from my seat and starts running down the hall towards Tec's room spell still active so I can see what's happening in the room Tec's slurring word filling my ears as gets closer to the door I stop before it and as I'm about to throw the door open I hear Tec call me mommy Tia I freeze in shock as the words echoes in my mind. "Is this what she thinks off me, in her drunken state is she more open about what she feels."

I get broken out of my thinking as I hear several hooves coming down the hall as the guards most have raised the alarm when they saw me running down the hall. Letting out a sigh I turn towards the 20 or so guards running down the hall. I dispel my magic, raise my hoof. "Guards you can return to your posts. There's no threat." The guard look at each other then give a salute as they return to their posts.

As I turn back to the door it opens and Ice Pike exit, she gives me a shocked and afraid. I use my magic to teleport us to my office and I placed her on a seat. "So Ice Pike tell me what happened between you and Tec." Ice is squirming as I glare down at her. "No, I'm letting my emotions flare, I need to calm myself." "Calm yourself Ice Pike your not in danger." Ice looks up at me. "I'm so sorry your Highness I didn't know how Princess Tec'ondra would react like that from a kiss."
Tia: "It was not the kiss that made her react like that, it was the emotions behind the kiss that overloaded her. What do you know about changeling?"
"Not much your highness."
"That's right there is not much known about them, but with the help of my aids and Tec'ondra with have learned a bit about them. Changeling feed on emotion and love is one of the strongest and most nutrition for them."

"So that's why Tec'ondra reacted like that."
"Yes, but I guess her body was shocked by the love you gave her, as the crystal we have feed her was filled with weaker form of love. They only gave her enough nutrition to keep her going as we didn't know if she was threat to us."

"Oh, so she was in a weaken state and I filled her with a stronger version."
"That's correct and you will keep this for yourself and I will not throw you in dungeon for kissing a six years old filly."
Ice loses all color in her face. "But she said not a filly, she said so."

I let out a heavy sigh. "Yes, her mind is that of a adult if that is because of her mothers memories or some else, but her body is that of a six years old."
"Oh" is all I hear from Ice. "We will speak about this more in the future, you will be allowed to meet my daughter under supervision until she's of age." "When that will ever be as she's a changeling."
Ice looks about ready to be bolt out of her skin. "Yo yo, you mean shes your her mother."
I smile at that. "Yes I have adopted Tec'ondra she is my legal filly, but all that will be cleared up in a few days. You can leave now Ice Pike "

As Ice Pike leaves I let out a sigh and with a flash I'm back in Tec's room shes laying on the bed. As I walk over to her looking at her she looks like a normal filly well a bug pony filly. I climb up and lay down beside her as I lay my head down beside her I can feel Tec roll over and push her self against me, my heart flutter and it make me happy to see her like this. "Why do I feel like this, I know I'm not her real mother but this feel so right."

I shut my eyes and rest beside Tec.
