My Little Pony: Equestrian Life In another World
Chapter 4: Meet the Sparkles
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLater, the next morning, the sun began to rise as the light begins to shine on Ponyville. From a room of a certain Princess, the sun shined through it, revealing both Beau and Twilight, both of them asleep in the same bed…without any clothes on. Ever since Twilight confessed to Beau, he felt the same way about her. Afterwards, the two of them had a very crazy experience, something that neither of them had ever done before.
Before long, Beau stirred awake when the sun was shining on his face. He then looked down and saw a certain Princess resting her head on his chest. He couldn’t help but smile and ended up scratching behind her ear, making her hum like a kitten, which caused him to chuckle a bit as he realized that she sounded very cute. He couldn’t help but kiss her forehead, making her smile and slowly open her eyes. She looked up and saw Beau, looking down on her whilst smiling.
“Morning Beau.” Said Twilight.
Beau kept his smile and said “Morning to you too, Twilight.”
The scootched over until the two of them were face to face, rubbing the side of her face against his, whilst at the same time, Beau couldn’t help but slowly grasp onto her right breast, making her moan in delight.
“You tease.” Said Twilight as she looked at him.
“Can I help it when you’re adorkable?” asked Beau, which made Twilight blush whilst she kept her smile. “So…our first night just happened.”
“That’s right.” Said Twilight before she giggled.
“Now there’s another thing that needs to be addressed.” Said Beau.
“Like what?” asked Twilight.
“Like how are we going to tell our friends about us?” said Beau, “Especially your parents.”
Twilight suddenly shot up and held her face and shouted “Oh my gosh, I completely forgot about that!! I may have told my parents about me meeting somepony, but I wasn’t specific on who it was!!”
Beau suddenly grabbed Twilight’s cheeks and made him look at her.
“Twilight, calm down.” Said Beau. “I’m sure we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. Until then, let’s take it one step at a time. Besides, I’m not going anywhere. Okay?”
Beau planted a quick kiss to Twilight, making her slightly moan from his touch. He slowly departed from the kiss before she smiled.
“You’re right,” said Twilight, “We’ll take it one step at a time.”
“Good,” said Beau, “Now then first thing’s first, let’s arrange Spike and Starlight to make breakfast, so that way, we can invite our friends over and we can tell them the truth.”
Twilight was a little puzzled at first, with Beau saying “You told me they always come every week for breakfast in the castle, correct?”
“That’s right.” Said Twilight, “And Pinkie’s the one who always makes the pancakes.”
“Really?” said Beau, then wondered, “So that’s why the breakfast I had a week ago tasted fluffier than usual.”
Twilight giggled at that, with her soon standing out of bed and walked over to her closet and was able to pick out her clothes.
“Well, I might as well get to my room.” Said Beau, until he blinked and said “But wait…what if…”
When all of a sudden, his clothes suddenly appeared, surprising Beau and realized this was the exact clothing he was going to wear on that specific day. He looked at Twilight surprised, with the latter smiling.
“I noticed you arranged how you would place your clothes and laundry.” Said Twilight, “Glad I’m not the only one who organizes my own clothing. And Spike says that it was a waste of time.”
“I know, right.” Said Beau as he put his clothes on too, “People would think we were crazy, but the reason I do this, is because I didn’t want to wear the same thing, otherwise it would make me…”
“A total slob.” Said both of them at the same time, causing the two of them to smile.
Once they got fully dressed, the two of them stood close to one another and hugged one another.
“Now then, we’d better get going.” Said Twilight once they broke the hug. “We don’t wanna be late for our breakfast.”
“My thoughts exactly.” Said Beau, before the two of them exited the room.
************************************************************************************************
Later today, breakfast was being served, thanks to a certain pink friend of theirs, and everyone was enjoying the breakfast that Pinkie made.
“Thanks again for the breakfast Pinkie Pie.” Said Twilight before she ate one.
Beau ate his pancake, but then noticed something was very off. He looked around and could see the looks on their faces.
Rarity had somewhat an uncomfortable look on her face whilst sipping her tea, Fluttershy was hiding behind her hair as she looked embarrassed, Spike and Starlight had the same reactions, Pinkie giggled uncontrollably, whilst Rainbow looked like she wanted to laugh and Applejack had smirks on their faces whilst looking at…him and Twilight?
“Uh, Twilight.” Whispered Beau, “I don’t know why, but our friends are staring at us for some reason.”
Twilight stopped eating her breakfast and saw the reactions on their faces, with the latter looking very confused and asked, “What?”
Rainbow struggled to keep it in, with Applejack asking, “So…how was yer night last night?”
Twilight suddenly spat out her food in shock, with Beau choking a bit before spitting a bit of pancake out. The two of them looked at the others in shock, with Rainbow finally losing it as she laughed.
“Wha…how did you know that?!” exclaimed Twilight as she blushed in embarrassment, with Beau doing the same.
“Uh…” said Spike as he and Starlight raised their hands, and looking sheepish. “Whoops.”
“Spike!!” said Twilight as she was now greatly embarrassed.
“We’re sorry!!” said Starlight, “It’s just, it was early, Spike and I were busy talking and we heard the both of you going on in there!!”
Now both of them groaned in embarrassment, with Beau burying his face, whilst Twilight buried her face in pancakes.
Suddenly Beau looked at Spike sternly and said “Be glad you’re still not a dog now.”
“Oh, great, what,” said Spike, “You’d have to take me for a walk.”
“No,” said Beau with a glare, “I’d take you to a vet and get you neutered.”
Spike yelped and covered his privates with his hands in shock. But then Beau sighed and leaned backwards. “But, seeing that you lot know…yeah, we did.”
Suddenly, Fluttershy asked out of the blue, “So…how was it?”
Everyone looked at her shocked by what she said, that Fluttershy, the shyest pony in the group, had asked out in the open, of how it was. Suddenly, Twilight slowly giggled uncontrollably and said “It was amazing. Once he took charge, there was no stopping.”
“This, coming from a Princess who pounced on me like a cougar and said she’d give me some sugar?” said Beau with a smirk.
The girls were once again flabbergasted by this.
“Although…there is one question though.” Asked Rarity.
“How are we gonna explain it to Twilight’s family and Celestia?” Asked Beau.
“Y-yes, exactly.” Said Rarity as she agreed.
“That’s what we’re also worried about,” said Twilight as she leaned backwards, “I mentioned that I was seeing somepony, but I didn’t tell them exactly who it was. Plus, I’m not sure they would accept Beau, considering he’s…”
“A human from another world who died back on his world and was brought here?” said Applejack.
“Exactly.” Said Twilight. She then groaned and said “I just don’t know if they’ll ever accept him.”
“Although…” said Rainbow, “I’d be more concerned about your brother than your parents.”
Twilight looked at Rainbow with a flexed eyebrow and asked “Why?”
“The uh…” said Rainbow as she tried to explain a certain topic. But then made wedding noises, causing Twilight and the others to blink in surprise, with Twilight dreading something.
“Uh, what’s going on?” said Beau.
“Long story.” Said everyone in the room.
Twilight sighed and said “I guess I’ll have to…
“Ah’m sure they will Twilight.” Said Applejack.
Pinkie gasped and said “Oh no, I completely forgot!!”
“What?!” said the others in the room.
“Don’t you know Rarity!!” said Pinkie as she grabbed Rarity’s face, “We gotta take the train to Manehattan tomorrow!!”
Suddenly Rarity gasped and said “Oh my gosh, I completely forgot!!”
“Uh, what now?” said Rainbow.
“Oh,” said Fluttershy as she reminded Rainbow, “Don’t you remember, Rainbow? Rarity and Pinkie have to take the train to Manehattan because Rarity wanted to explore a new location for her next boutique.”
“Exactly, we mustn’t be late.” Said Rarity before she stood up, “Come Pinkie Pie, we must get ready.”
Rarity soon left the room, with Pinkie whispering “I’m excited to go because my sister Maud will meet us there for something special.”
Pinkie darted out of the room like a speeding rocket as if she was now on a mission of her life.
“Thanks again for the breakfast.” Said Rainbow before she wiped her mouth and said “I gotta check up on the weather teams.”
“And ah gotta get back to the farm to harvest this month’s crops.” Said Applejack.
“I’ll head back to my home to check up on the animals.” Said Fluttershy before the three of them left.
Soon it was just Spike, Starlight, Twilight, and Beau left. Twilight moaned whilst holding her head. “What am I going to do?” she said in worry.
“Don’t worry Twilight.” Said Spike, “If you really like Thomas…”
“Beau.” Said Beau, which Spike and Starlight looked at him, “Twilight gave me a nickname. I’d like it to stick.”
“Huh, I like it.” Said Starlight as she also liked the nickname.
“Anyway,” said Spike, “If you really like, er, Beau, then I’m sure they’ll like him. I mean he’s been here for a month and he seems okay. And if Princess Celestia approves him, then I’m sure the others too.”
“Yeah, but it’s not like they haven’t seen a human before.” Said Beau, “I mean how often do you see a 5’11 human with Caucasian skin, thin build with black hair and light brown eyes walking around Equestria with a bunch of ponies around them?”
“True,” said Starlight, “Not to mention Twilight, Spike and I are the only ones who knows what a human look like. The others were a little skeptical too, same with Ponyville. I’m not sure how Canterlot would feel about him though.”
“It’s not like Twilight can just use a cloaking spell whilst we move through Canterlot and remove them once we get to Twilight’s place.” Said Beau.
Twilight clicked, then looked at Beau and said “That’s a great idea, Beau.”
“It is?” said a confused Beau.
“Yes, we’ll use a cloaking spell to mask your presence once we arrive in Canterlot.” Said Princess Twilight, “We’ll also teleport there whilst we’re at it.”
“But let’s finish first before we go.” Said Beau, which Twilight nodded in agreement. However, as they continued to eat their breakfast, Beau then thought ‘I just hope that they’ll accept me.’
*********************************************************************************************
After they were done, Twilight was able to cast a concealment spell on Beau, allowing the two of them to travel to Canterlot. The two of them were teleported near the city entrance and began to walk through its large streets.
“Now remember Beau,” whispered Twilight just to make sure no one was listening, “We sneak towards my parents’ house so that we can introduce you to them. Thankfully my brother’s not here yet, so I don’t want to further complicate things.”
“What do you mean?” whispered Beau.
“Well, he can be a bit…too overprotective.” Said Twilight.
“Don’t you mean a big jerk after the way he yelled at you back at the wedding?” said Beau, making Twilight widen her eyes in shock, with Beau adding “Again, Spike.”
Twilight then growled and was angry, “I am so going to get him for that.”
“Let’s just focus on the task at hand.” Said Beau, then ended up flirting by saying “And maybe I’ll give you some happy ending time.”
“Happy ending?” said Twilight, until she gasped lightly and blushed red, for Beau was holding and massaging the side of her flank. “B-Beau…not in public.” Whispered Twilight again.
“But you see where I’m going with this.” Said Beau.
Twilight couldn’t help but moan, but smiled whilst rolling his eyes at the same time, for she couldn’t argue with that logic. And strangely she’s looking forward to it. Beau continued to look around the city. To say this place is beautiful is an understatement. However, when he looked at the citizens, he could see how stuck up they really are. He didn’t know how he could tell, but he could most definitely tell that they have the makings of a complete spoilt people.
Soon enough, they arrived at a large house, with Beau looking up. He whistled as he was impressed by what he saw at the same time.
“Wow, I have to admit, this is a very nice house.” Said Beau, “What kind of job did you say they did again?”
“Both of them were young writers.” Said Twilight, “They at first wrote a few novels, but in time, they also wrote about a few things about the world that they explored.”
“Nice.” Said Beau. He then looked down and said “Heh, funny, I always wanted to be a writer too.”
“Really?” said Twilight surprised when she looked at him.
“Yeah,” said Beau, “But my folks told me that it was never going to happen. I ended up believing it and stopped having that dream. Maybe one day I’ll find that passion again.”
Twilight held his hand, gaining Beau’s attention and smiled at him, trying to encourage him to stay positive, which in turn he couldn’t help but smile too, even if Beau was still invisible. Twilight moved towards the door and knocked on it. Within moments, a unicorn opened the door, which was a female.
“Twilight!!” said the woman as she hugged her. “It’s so good to see you!!”
“Good to see you too, mom.” Said Twilight, before they broke their hug.
“Come on in, your father was just about to have some tea ready.” Said the woman as she walked in, with Twilight following suit and Beau snuck in, allowing Twilight to close the door.
“So…how are you Twilight?” said the mare, “What was so important that you’d want to come over.”
“Well…” said Twilight nervously whilst she was blushing, “It may come as a surprise to you but…I met someone.”
The mare gasped and held onto Twilight and said “Really, that’s amazing!! Who’s the lucky stallion?”
“Well…” said Twilight as she used her magic to make Beau visible, which shocked the mare, along with a stallion who was peaking his head through the door. “Mom, dad. This is Thomas Rohan, or as folks would call him, Beau. Beau, these are my parents, Night Light, and Twilight Velvet.”
“Uh,” said Beau as he nervously waved to them, “Hello there.”
***************************************************************************************************
At the living room, everyone was at the living room. Though…one wouldn’t say it was comfortable. For it was awkward for them. For when Twilight said she met someone, they didn’t know it was…not a pony. Beau was also nervous, for he didn’t know how they would respond to it.
“So uh, we’re all having fun here?” said Twilight. However, when there was no response, which made her more nervous. “Okay then.” Said Twilight before she continued.
“Um, Twilight.” Said Twilight Velvet. “When you said you met somepony, we didn’t think it would be, uh…”
“A hairless ape who happens to be as bald as a baboon’s butt without the funny colors?” said Beau, which caused the two parents to look at him surprised by that comment. “Yeah, I get that a lot.”
“So, um…” said Night Light, wanting to break the conversation. “How did you two exactly meet?”
“Oh, whilst I was strolling down the lake to get some exercise because of Spike,” said Twilight, before she growled and said “That Spike said I needed exercise because he made a comment on how I’m chubby.”
Night Light chuckled, for that was something Spike would say, causing Velvet to elbow him.
“I met him at the lake out there.” Said Twilight, “Though…he wasn’t there by choice.”
“By choice?” asked Twilight Velvet, “What do you mean?”
“I uh…” said Beau as he didn’t know how to respond. “Died.”
The two parents were surprised by this, with Beau explaining to them.
“See, I wasn’t exactly born in a loving family like your daughter here.” Said Beau, “Growing up, all I did was study. Neither of my parents wanted to spend time with me. My father was a reckless and irresponsible gambler, whilst my mother was always working. They never had any time for me. Nor was I a popular guy at school. I was…treated like an outcast. Shunned by society you might say. So, after I graduated, I went to my grandparents’ Lake House. When they died, they left the will of the place to me. I loved them a lot, and they did to me to. So, I chose to live there, thinking what else I could do with my life. But one day whilst I was swimming, a whirlpool appeared in the middle of nowhere, and I ended up being pulled into it. I slowly blacked out, which indicated that I was drowning. Before I knew it, I wounded up at a lake in Equestria. That’s when Twilight found me.”
“Oh, you poor dear.” Said Twilight Velvet, with awkward feelings pushed aside.
“At first I was freaked out of my mind.” Said Beau, but then couldn’t help but chuckle and said “Then I accidentally blurted out that horses couldn’t talk. Twilight felt offended by that and threatened me with her magic. I panicked at first, but grumbled that she didn’t freak out when she was in a different world.”
Both Twilight Velvet and Night Light chuckled at that too. “Oh, we can assure you, she did freak out the first time she was in another world.”
Beau looked at Twilight surprised. Twilight giggled nervously and said “I might’ve told them of my adventure through the other side of the mirror.”
“Anyway,” said Beau, “She took me in when I had nowhere else to go. Then during that time, we found out we have a few things in common. Twilight even wrote a letter to Princess Celestia, which turned out, she knew the existence of my kind the whole time.”
Both of them had their jaws dropped, that Celestia would know something like this.
“I wanted to go back,” said Beau, “But then I felt like I belonged here. At first, Ponyville seemed nervous around me, until they later warmed up to me. Same with her friends.”
“How long have you been in this world?” asked Night Light.
“About a month.” Said Beau, “I was thinking of applying for a job at Ponyville, maybe as Twilight’s librarian archivist. I’ve got a knack for these things.”
“So, we can tell.” Said Twilight Velvet.
“Oh, that reminds me.” Said Twilight as she stood up, with Twilight saying “Could you two keep him company, I need to do something really quick.”
Twilight teleported away, with Beau smiling. He then thought of something and looked at both Velvet and Night Light.
“Can I ask you two something.”
“Oh, of course.” Said Twilight Velvet.
“Are you two always worried about her?”
It caught them off-guard at first, with Night Light saying “Of course we do. Why do you ask?”
“I mean, how did you know she’d be okay.” Asked Beau, “Facing dangers every day of her life. Thinking that…”
“It might be too much for her?” asked Night Light, to which Beau nodded.
Twilight Velvet sighed, and said “Truth be told, we always worry about her. When she was growing up, she didn’t want to make friends. But ever since she went to Ponyville, she seems to socialize more and made more wonderful friends there. Makes me wish that we moved to Ponyville before she was born. But as a mother, I always worry about her safety every day. When she wanted to be Celestia’s pupil, I had to give her my permission.”
“Permission?”
“Of course,” said Night Light, “She may be a fully grown mare, but she’ll always be our baby girl.”
“And when Celestia told us what Twilight was doing, even during her adventures, we didn’t make a peep. And we worry about her safety every day, cause it’s our job. But’s also our job to believe in our daughter, to follow her dreams, for her to really fly.”
Beau couldn’t help but snicker at that last part, which confused the parents, but then remembered what Velvet just said, causing the two of them to snicker too, for she just made an unintended pun.
Beau sighed and said “She’s really lucky. I wish I had something like that. But being here, I finally have my second chance. I really love your daughter. She was the only one who opened up to me and believed in me when no one else did. That’s why I wanted to do the same for her. To support her like you two did. And I know, I may be different. But…I’d really like to have this chance to date her. If…you’ll let me that is.”
The two of them couldn’t help but smile, with Velvet saying “Of course you can date our daughter. You seem like a very nice young man.”
“And you’re too honest and good to break anyone’s heart.” Said Night Light.
Beau couldn’t help but smile, with him saying “So other than being writers…what else can you two do?”
“Well,” said Night Light, “I do have a great knack for bingo.”
“Really?” said Beau surprised.
“Oh of course,” said Night Light, “It’s like a game of chance. I really like a challenge.”
“And I also have a knack for extreme sports.” Said Twilight Velvet, causing Beau’s jaw to drop. She laughed and said “My daughter and son had that same reaction when I told them.”
“What kind of sports?” asked Beau.
“Oh, we could go on for hours.” Said Velvet.
*************************************************************************************************
“Excuse me?” said Princess Celestia.
Twilight had gone to see Princess Celestia, with Princess Luna by her side. Twilight arrived and wanted to talk to them about something important, and it couldn’t be something open, like in front of her parents.
“That’s right, Princess Celestia.” Said Twilight as she was now being open about it. “I’m…in love with Beau.”
Needless to say, the two of them didn’t expect this from Twilight.
“I see.” Said Princess Celestia.
“Look, I know he’s a different creature from another world, and I know it might seem strange for one creature to fall head over heels with another.” Said Twilight. “But Beau’s different. He’s not like anything or anyone I’ve ever met. He’s one of the few people who really understands me. We also have a lot in common when it comes to books, studying and managing items and libraries. We enjoy each other’s company; he even became good friends with mine. And…well…”
“You’re worried how your family is going to react.” Concluded Princess Luna.
“Y-yes.” Said Twilight. “I’m really nervous if Beau and my parents will get along. Though I’m more worried about my brother.”
“Understandable,” said Princess Luna, “Considering what Chrysalis had done to Shining Armor, as well as Princess Cadance.”
“Er, yes.” Said Princess Celestia uneasily as she walked to the window.
“Look, I know it might seem strange to you, but I really like Beau.” Said Twilight. “And I know it’s been crazy, considering we’ve known each other for a month. But…I can’t explain it. I felt like…that he really is the one for me.”
Princess Celestia walked back to Princess Luna, the two of them looking at one another, before the two of them smirked and looked at Twilight.
“We know Twilight.” Said Princess Celestia.
“Huh?” wondered Princess Twilight out loud.
“We know of your, ahem, relationship with Thomas Rohan.” Said Princess Luna, “Or er, Beau, in this case.”
Twilight was surprised by this, with her exclaiming “How?!”
“Well, you two had an interesting dream of, ahem,” said Princess Luna with a smirk and Celestia tried her best to keep her giggles quiet. “Wild night with him.”
Twilight’s jaw dropped and blushed heavily in embarrassment, causing her to cover her face with both her hands and both her wings, with her groaning loudly, for she couldn’t believe they found out…this way.
“Twilight,” said Princess Celestia as she went over and held onto Twilight’s shoulder, gaining her attention. “For as long as I can remember during your time as my student, you didn’t want to make friends because you thought they weren’t interesting. And during that time, you never considered romance too. We remembered how you thought you had feelings for another when you were with Sunset Shimmer, but you passed his feelings and left. And yet, there he is, a young man from another world, who suddenly won your heart in just over a month. And if you wish, we too would like to know him.”
“I’m just worried how my brother would react.” Said Twilight in worry. “What if he thinks that Beau is a Changeling like I did?”
“We will try our best to explain things to him.” Said Princess Celestia. “Though when the time comes when you two want to truly be together, and when he wishes to arrange a marriage, then we would like to meet him. And we will ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
“I hope so.” Said Princess Twilight as she rubbed her shoulder, “I really want to spend the rest of my like with him. And…”
She then blushed madly and said “Want to raise our first child together.”
The two of them flexed their eyebrows, but couldn’t help but smirk at that, knowing full well what it meant.
“Well then,” said Princess Celestia, “If somehow you two did the deed…”
Twilight groaned again in embarrassment as she really didn’t like the idea of them bringing that up, causing the sisters to giggle again before Celestia continued.
“Then we would recommend that you go to the hospital first. If it is possible, then it would be the first in pony history that the Princess of Friendship would gain a child from a non-pony.”
“Um…” said Twilight as she was now suddenly afraid, “I’ll do that after I get back to Ponyville.”
“We understand Twilight.” Said Princess Celestia, “If you truly wish to bond with Beau through Matrimony, then we will fully support of your decision and your newlywed husband.”
Twilight hugged Princess Celestia whilst saying “Thank you. I really…”
Suddenly, her eyes went wide open, as if a realization had hit her like a two-ton bricks.
“Wait a second,” said Twilight as she broke the hug and looked around, “I know this feeling.”
“Twilight?” asked Princess Celestia in concern.
“I haven’t felt this before.” Said Twilight, “Not since…”
She suddenly gasped out loudly and realized something horrifying, then she turned to Celestia and said “I gotta go!! Thanks for the advice!! Gotta go!!”
She teleported away with the speed of light, then Princess Luna asked, “What was the matter with her?”
Suddenly Celestia smirked, and said “Probably her parents showing Twilight’s…”
***********************************************************************************************
Twilight suddenly teleported back to her parents’ place, and was shocked to see what was going on. Beau and Twilight Velvet, even Night Light were laughing, whilst they were looking through…
“My photo album!!” exclaimed Twilight.
You guessed it, the family is showing Beau Twilight’s baby pictures.
“Oh, Twilight, you are so freaking adorable!!” said Beau when they saw her baby pictures.
Twilight suddenly screeched in shock, grabbed the photo album, and held it close to her. “Mom!! What did we talk about showing my baby pictures to other strangers!!” said Twilight.
“Oh, Beau is no stranger.” Said Night Light.
“In fact,” said Twilight Velvet, “He’s your special somepony. You really claimed a winner there, Twilight.”
“Wait,” said Twilight as she was surprised by this, “You two are okay with him?”
“Of course, Twilight.” Said Night Light.
“Though we’ve spent a short amount of time with him, we could tell that he’s a very nice young man, who would love nothing more than to spend the rest of his life with you. And I think you truly found a special soulmate.”
Twilight looked at Beau for a moment, and noticed the blush he had on his face whilst he was partially looking away, but also noticed his smile too. She couldn’t help but smile back and had the same blush on her face too. She used her magic to place her book away and walked over to him. Beau looked up and saw Twilight looking at him and extended her hands to him. Beau slowly held them and stood up. The two of them looking at each other lovingly in their eyes and smiled, before slowly hugging one another.
Twilight Velvet sniffed and wiped her eyes, “So beautiful.” Said Velvet whilst Night Light comforted his wife.
However, Twilight broke the hug and had a sad frown whilst looking down.
“What’s wrong Twilight?” asked Beau, which Twilight’s parents also noticed.
“I’m just worried…about how my brother’s going to react.” Said Twilight.
“What do you mean, honey?” asked Velvet.
“Chrysalis.” Said Twilight.
Both her parents widened their eyes in shock and looked at one another. For that’s right, Chrysalis posed as Cadance and nearly had her way with Shining Armor.
“Who’s Chrysalis?” asked Beau.
“Er…you might want to sit down for this.” Said Velvet.
Beau and Twilight sat down together, but Twilight held him close as she rested her head on his shoulder, with Beau holding her close.
“See, years ago,” said Twilight Velvet, “Before Twilight was a Princess and was still Princess Celestia’s student, her brother was going to get married to Cadance, who is also a Princess. So, she and her friends were going to help prepare for the wedding. However, Twilight noticed that there was something really off about her. She tried to tell them, but her friends, not even Princess Celestia didn’t believe her. And when Twilight confronted her, she didn’t have any proof or evidence or didn’t do a proper job of making the case stick. So Shining Armor ended up banning her from coming to the wedding and her friends turned their backs on her, even Princess Celestia.”
Beau was appalled by this with shock, whilst also noticing how Twilight was tightly holding his hand, to which he kept holding her close.
“Twilight was then captured and it turned out the Cadance she encountered was a fake, whilst the real one was imprisoned underground. It turned out the fake was a Changeling Queen named Chrysalis.”
“Changelings?” said Beau in confusion, which allowed Night Light to use his magic to show them a magical hologram of them, which surprised Beau.
“A race of creatures with the ability to shapeshift into any other creature, who have the ability to feed on love.” Said Night Light, “Chrysalis had fooled everyone, but her friends were so blinded by the wedding, they didn’t care about her feelings at all. And Celestia, her own student. Cause this was exactly the reason why Sunset ran away years ago.”
“Thankfully they did stop her,” said Velvet, “But she still felt disheartened over it. Hence…”
They noticed how she bit her lip, and said “Why she didn’t trust her friends from there.”
Beau was surprised by this. That even though they’re friends, she didn’t trust them.
“But didn’t they try to earn her trust, again?” asked Beau.
“They did.” Said Night Light, “We told them to try and earn her trust.”
“But our daughter can be quite stubborn,” said Velvet, which caused Twilight to grumble and blush in embarrassment, “Before she moved to Ponyville, we tried to convince her to make friends or try to befriend her classmates, but she refused and was one tough nut to crack. And after the wedding, we convinced them to try and apologize and to earn Twilight’s trust back.”
Twilight grumbled a bit, with Velvet saying “Honey, I know they left you when they didn’t believe you about what happened with Chrysalis when…”
“I made a poor case, I know,” said Twilight, “But I knew Cadance for years, and I knew something was off, and they still didn’t believe me.”
Beau looked at her with a flexed eyebrow and said “Didn’t you think of needing proof or evidence for something like that?”
Twilight looked at him and wanted to say something, but Beau beat her to it and said “Yes, you may have known her a lot longer than anyone else, but that’s just it. Everyone else only saw her as a title. But you needed proof to show them that she wasn’t who she said she was. I mean, seriously, you pointing out that she was evil and acted like a crazy person at the same time made it harder for everyone to trust you.”
Twilight glared at him, until she heard a throat clearing. She looked and saw her parents looking at her with flexed eyebrows, with Night Light saying “He does have a point, Twilight.”
“Or did you forget the incident with the quesadillas?” said Twilight Velvet.
Twilight blinked in shock and suddenly felt afraid, which Beau noticed and asked “Wait…you’re afraid of a measly sandwich?”
“It’s a long story, honey.” Said Twilight Velvet.
“Anyway,” said Beau, wanting to continue with the story, “I knew how much a few things in life meant to you, same with wanting to protect your family. But you also have to know when to keep a straight face and talk in a calm manner, otherwise you might crack a lot faster than a nut. Otherwise, you might make a mistake that you’d regret for the rest of your life.”
Twilight thought about it, and lowered her eyes whilst her ears drooped, for he was right. She could’ve handled the situation better on some occasions, but because of her obsessions is what caused the whole thing to fall apart in the first place.
“And you talking about the Changelings, kind of reminds me of the lore I head back home.” Said Beau.
“There’s a lore about Changelings?” asked Velvet with she and her husband, even Twilight being surprised.
“Yeah, but they’re nothing like that.” Said Beau as he began to explain more about the Changelings from his world. “According to the lore in my world, they're Irish fairies that wanted beautiful human children for their own by swapping one of their own with theirs. Beauty in human children and young women, particularly blond hair, was said to attract the fairies who kidnap human children and occasionally young adults to marry them instead and newly mothers were often taken to nurse fairy babies. The child that was taken by Changelings have three reasons: to act as a servant, for the fairies to receive the love of a human child, or for malice/revenge.”
The three of them were shocked to hear this kind of lore, with Beau saying “Like I said, it’s a lot different than the ones you know.”
***************************************************************************************************
Later that day, Twilight, and Beau bid Twilight’s parents goodbye, before she teleported them at the train station and were able to board without anyone seeing them. When they were in a private cart, Beau continued to hold onto Twilight, as the latter was still worried.
“Now I see why you were reluctant into telling them.” Said Beau, “You were afraid the same situation would happen again, but only worse.”
“Y-yeah.” Said Twilight as she partially looked away. Until she felt Beau’s hand, which gained her attention as she looked at him.
“Twilight, I know you’re worried.” Said Beau, “But we’ll find a way. I know we will.”
“I hope so.” Said Twilight, “The last thing I need is my brother giving us grief. I know I did the same way, but…”
“I know.” Said Beau. “And about your friends. The wedding thing was some time ago, why didn’t you trust them since then?”
Twilight sighed and said “I really wanted to Beau, but how can I trust someone who didn’t believe me?”
“I think that goes the same as, how they can trust you, if you didn’t trust them.” Said Beau. He sighed and said “Twilight, I may not know anything about friendship, but I do know about individuals. Sometimes when we work together for the good of others, you have to remember that you also need to learn to trust one another. And given how you tend to act, it’s hard for them to believe you. Especially Pinkie Pie, and she’s the crazy one.”
Twilight couldn’t help but snort at that.
“Look, Twilight, I know how much certain things mean to you,” said Beau, “But you have to learn to push those doubts aside. All you really need is each other. And from what I’ve seen, friendships can be hard, and it takes work to maintain them. And without friends, it would make life a lot harder.”
Twilight couldn’t help but smile and look at him whilst saying “Since when did you become my teacher?”
“Well, as your new lover,” said Beau, “It’s my job to help make sure that you’re happy. And that’s exactly what I’m trying to do.”
Twilight couldn’t help but giggle at that statement. They soon arrived at Ponyville, however, Twilight suddenly felt like she was going to throw up, with Beau quickly grabbing her and took her at the edge of the station near a trash can. He helped her bend over and held her hair back, causing her to throw up in the trash can.
“Are you okay?” said Beau worried.
“Wow…that was weird.” Said Twilight after she stood up straight and wiped her mouth, "That’s never happened to me before."
Beau then remembered something, something that he read from a medical journal. He then widened his eyes in shock. No…it couldn’t be.
***********************************************************************************************
Soon enough, though Twilight protested, Beau took her to the hospital to get her checked up. She said it was unnecessary, but Beau insisted, considering that he wanted to make sure. Beau sat on a chair and reading his magazine, with Twilight sitting on a checkup bed, reading a book that she had thankfully brought with her for just in case. Within moments, Ponyville’s doctor, whose name is Doctor Horse (Beau nearly wanted to laugh, but he kept quiet as best as he can), walked in with a clipboard.
“So how is she doing, doctor?” asked Beau.
“Well, I have some good news and bad news.” Said the Doctor, “Well, more like good news, bad news, shocking news and really crazy news at the same time.”
Beau looked at him with a flexed eyebrow, but chose not to comment on that.
“You sure you want to hear this, Princess Twilight?” Asked Doctor Horse.
“Of course, I do, doctor.” Said Twilight.
“Well, from what I’ve seen, what you have isn’t a sickness or disease,” said Doctor Horse before looking at the two of them. “What you’re actually feeling is the early stages of pregnancy.”
Twilight felt like her brain shattered as she dropped the book, with Beau dropping his jaw and dropped his magazine too.
“Say what now?” said Beau.
“And it’s surprising,” said the doctor, “Because usually a mare has the early stages of pregnancy after two weeks. Yours happened about early this morning. Though then again, given that you are an alicorn, your metabolisms and other structures tend to be different than most normal ponies.”
Twilight was extremely speechless, for she had no idea how to process any of this, until she shed tears uncontrollably and muttered “I’m going to be a mom.”
She then grabbed Beau in a tightening embrace as his head was between her breasts whilst she shouted “I’m going to be a mom!!”
“G-good for you, honey.” Muttered Beau whilst muffling between her breasts.
Doctor Horse looked at Twilight, then to Beau. Then it clicked as he instantly put it together.
“Wait…are you two…?” said Doctor Horse surprised.
“You’re having a baby?!”
They were startled by the voice as Twilight released Beau. Then, right at the door, a unicorn appeared. This was one of Twilight’s old friends, Lyra Heartstrings. And from the looks of it, she had an excited look.
“Lyra?!” said Twilight, “What are you doing here?!”
“I came as quick as I could when I heard there was a human here!!” said Lyra.
“Wait,” said Twilight as she realized something, “Beau was here for over a month, how did you find out about it just now?”
“Wait, who is this?” said Beau in confusion.
Lyra instantly darted towards him with a squee and a smile whilst saying “Hey there, I’m Lyra Heartstrings. I live in Ponyville with my special pony friend Bonbon, but I also used to study in Canterlot and was one of Twilight’s classmates. I even studied in anthropology.”
“Wait, as in the study of humans?” said Beau in confusion.
“That’s right!!” said Lyra, “But everypony always dismisses this, thinking that I’m crazy and that humans aren’t real.”
She then grabbed him and exclaimed “But here you are!! Living proof that humans are real!!”
“And I assume the way you’re acting, you’re a huge fan of sorts?” asked Beau.
“That I am!!” said Lyra, then released him and squealed whilst saying “And to top it off, you’re going to have a baby!! With my former classmate!!”
She then grabbed Twilight and said “This is going to be amazing!! And when the time is right, I can finally start my hypothesis of how a child of two different species came along!!”
Hearing that, Twilight instantly grabbed her with her magic, whilst saying through gritted teeth, “You are not going to use my baby as a science experiment!! Nor are you going to do that to my hubby either!!”
Beau then looked at the doctor and said “In case you wonder, doctor? Yeah, she and I are the parents.”
Doctor Horse was surprised by this, and asked “How long did you two known each other?”
“A month.”
That surprised him again, with the Doctor clearing his throat and blushed from embarrassment, whilst saying “Okay then. But this is truly remarkable.”
“How so?” asked Beau.
“Well, it’s like this,” said Doctor Hooves, “When ponies gain children, sometimes they’re specific species. And on rare occasions…”
“An Earth pony family gaining a Unicorn and Pegasus baby?” guess Beau, “Like the Cake family?”
“Exactly.” Said Doctor Hooves, “But if a pony and a human would create a child, then we don’t know if the child would gain human features or pony features. It would most likely gain both those attributes.”
“Wow, that would be interesting.’ Said Beau. However, he also had a deep thought. If Twilight was truly going to gain a child, then…
He slightly looked at her whilst she was talking to Lyra as she was begging over and over to ask Beau questions, as well as the baby should it arrive. The more he thought about it…the more he couldn’t live without her. And seeing that the baby needs both its parents….
He knew what he had to do.
“Uh, Twilight?” asked Beau.
“Yes?” asked Twilight.
“How are we going to tell our friends when we meet up with them?” asked Beau.
Twilight blinked at that, for that was a good question. She thought about it, with Beau beating her to the punch.
“How about you go back to the castle and ask Spike to gather them?” asked Beau.
“Alright,” asked Twilight, “But what are you going to do?”
“I…need to take care of something.” Said Beau as he knew where he was going to go whilst he left. However, …
“Can I come with you?!”
He was startled as he saw Lyra, staring at him with stars in her eyes and a creepy grin. Clearly she wanted to ask him some questions. Beau knew what this was going to mean. Then again, he could use the distraction when not thinking of a certain topic.
“Uh, sure.” Said Beau, which made her squee as the two of them walked. “So, take a breather, and ask one question at a time, okay?”
Lyra nodded eagerly.
“Now then, what do you want to know, first?” asked Beau.
“We’ll start with where you came from?” asked Lyra.
“Hmm,” thought Beau as the two of them exited the hospital, “I was born on a planet called Earth. E-A-R-T-H, Earth. The birthplace of humanity, you might say.”
***********************************************************************************************
After a long trip, Beau had gotten what he was looking for and walked back to the castle, whilst at the same time, asking whatever question Lyra wanted to know from him.
“And what about their way of travel?” asked Lyra whilst approaching the castle.
“On the ground, we have metallic machines called cars, busses, and trucks. We use them to travel from one location to the next. The Trucks on the other hand are used to carry heavy loads of supplies to their stores to sell their goods and to make sure they don’t get spoilt too quickly. As for overseas trips, sometimes we take cruise ships, but most times we take airplanes. Machines that can fly like a bird from one location to the next. But sometimes they’re really boring to travel.”
“They are?” asked Lyra.
“Oh, sure,” said Beau, “I mean flying for fifteen hours with nothing to do? Then again, thankfully, we were able to place entertainment inside like reading and hearing stories. At the same time, they also have food onboard to feed them. And thankfully, the people are provided with things to help them sleep. Though with those who have insomnia and back problems, they have medication to help them sleep better during the time zone travels.”
“Oh, that makes sense.” Said Lyra, until the two of them have stopped at the castle doors.
“Alright then,” said Beau, “This is our stop. I’ll answer more of your questions once I have some free time.”
“Aw, but I wanted to know…” said Lyra in disappointment, until…
“Lyra!!”
Lyra yelped and saw Bonbon walking toward her, and she was not happy.
“Where have you been?!” exclaimed Bonbon as she stood in front of her, “You were supposed to come help me at my store, hours ago!!”
“But Bonbon…!!” said Lyra, “I’m talking to a human, an actual human!! The one I’ve been telling you had existed for years!!”
“I know who he is!!” said Bonbon.
“You already know him?!” exclaimed Lyra.
“Sure do.” Said Beau, “I sometimes pop over at her store to fetch a few things. She really makes good candy.”
“And you didn’t tell me?!” said Lyra.
“I’ve been trying to tell you for almost a month!!” said Bonbon, “But you’ve been frantically going around making a fool of yourself, that you barely noticed anything at all!!”
“What…but…but?!”
“Now, come on!!”
Bonbon instantly grabbed Lyra’s ear and began to pull her away, making the Unicorn yelp as she was being pulled away.
“Uh, is that necessary Bonbon?” asked Beau in concern.
“Trust me, she gets like this all the time.” Said Bonbon.
“I’ll see you later, human!!” said Lyra as she was still being pulled away.
Beau shook his head as he said to himself, “I don’t know what’s true or not, that Ponyville is the friendliest place in Equestria, or that Ponyville is the village filled with nuts.”
He then walked in the castle, thinking about how he and Twilight was going to tell the others. As well as something he wants to tell her.
Beau soon arrived at the cutie map room, where Twilight, the rest of the Mane 6, Starlight and Spike were waiting for him. The others, minus Twilight, wondered what was going on.
“So, Twilight,” said Rainbow, “What was so important that we had to come back?”
“Indeed,” said Rarity, “I was in the middle of an ensemble.”
“I don’t know everypony,” said Pinkie Pie, “My entire body was shaking, and it turns out, a real doozy is going to happen.”
Twilight and Beau then stood together, with both of them feeling very nervous. “There’s…something we have to tell you.”
“Well, whatever it is,” said Rainbow, “It can’t be more important than the sport drink delivery I was waiting on.”
Rainbow drank some from a selection of cans she brought with her just in case. Some were puzzled by where she got it, but they decided not to question it, with everyone looking at Twilight.
“Well, spit it out Twi, what is it?” asked Applejack.
“Well…” said Beau as Twilight held his hand and placed it against her belly as Twilight spoke at the same time.
“I’m pregnant.”
Rainbow instantly chocked on her drink and fell over, with everyone else’s jaws dropped as they couldn’t believe what they were hearing.
“Yer, what now?!” exclaimed Applejack.
“Oh my gosh.” Responded Fluttershy.
“Yay!!” shouted Pinkie as she instantly wrapped her arms around Twilight.
“How is it possible?!” said Spike.
“Weren’t babies supposed to form in a few weeks after the whole intercourse thing?!” said Starlight.
“Apparently the doctor says that because of her Alicorn metabolism and body structures, her body tends to be more different than anyone else.” Said Beau.
“That would make sense,” said Starlight, “Considering how Alicorns are much different than us ponies in general.”
“But other than that,” said Rarity as she walked over to Twilight, “Congratulations, Twilight. We are so proud of you. You’re going to be a mother. That is the most. Precious. Thing!! That could ever happen to you!!”
“Well done there Sugarcube.” Said Applejack as she, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy hugged Twilight, even Starlight and Spike hugged her. Except for Rainbow Dash, who suddenly walks over to Beau. And given the look she was giving, made Beau very uncomfortable.
“Uh, Rainbow, what are you…?” said Beau before Rainbow cut him off.
“I just wanna talk to you.” Said Rainbow before she walked over him.
“Why are you…?” said Beau, until Rainbow suddenly tackled him and strangled him.
“I JUST WANNA STRANGLE YOU!!” shouted Rainbow as she was strangling Beau, which in turn shocked the girls.
“Twilight!!” shouted Beau whilst he was being strangled, “She’s…choking, me!!”
“Rainbow!!”
Everyone then pulled Rainbow away as Applejack tied her up, with Rarity and Starlight trying to contain her with their magic.
“What in tarnation is wrong with ya?!” said Applejack.
“He got her pregnant!!” said Rainbow.
“That’s no excuse, darling!!” said Rarity.
“And besides, what I do in bed is none of your business!!” said Twilight, causing her to clasp her mouth shut.
“But…but I…” responded Rainbow as she tried to think of an excuse.
“You sure you’re not jealous because one of your friends got laid before you did?” said Beau out of the blue, which surprised him too.
The girls gave him deadpanned looks with slight glares at the same time.
“Beau, not the time.” Responded Twilight.
“Right, sorry.” Said Beau.
Rainbow sighed and said “I’m sorry, Twilight. I don’t know what came over me.”
“It’s alright, Rainbow.” Said Applejack, “Just…don’t do that again.”
“Got it.” Said Rainbow.
“Also…”
Beau began to slowly take something from his back pocket and pulled something out. It was a small little box, which confused Twilight when she looked at it.
“Seeing that I’m on my knees anyway, and seeing that I’m not good with words.”
Beau handed Twilight the small box, with Twilight using her magic to bring it to her. She was curious of what was inside. She opened it with her own hands, and was shocked to see what was inside. For inside, was none other than a ring with a diamond shaped like her Cutie Mark. However, none were more shocked than her friends. She slowly looked at a smiling Beau.
“I can’t live without you, Twilight. Literally.” Said Beau, “Because you’re the only one whoever gave me purpose after a month of getting to know you.”
Twilight didn’t have the words to respond as she looked at the ring. Her mouth whimpered whilst she slowly shed tears. Within a split second, she tackled Beau over and gave him a strong kiss, surprising him as the two of them fell over, with Twilight being on top of him whilst she hugged him tightly. The two of them slowly broke the kiss as Beau had that goofy smile on him.
“You know, your actions said yes, but I didn’t hear any words.” Said Beau.
Twilight giggled and said “Yes. Of course, I will.”
Twilight used her magic to put the ring on her, whilst the two of them kissed again, with her friends cheering for her as they helped them up and hugged them. The others slowly looked at Rainbow, who had her arms crossed, but eventually smiled and hugged them too. Today was a good day despite the circumstances.
But the future, a new beginning.
