Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"Please, my majesty can you please let me go now-" I was pleading until i was suddenly cut off with Princess Luna saying,

"That is highness for you," she retorted "and no, stop with the pleading from thou."

"Okay, okay!" I responded with a rather impolite tone,

"Aren't you kinda over reacting though? It's only a light bump on my head..."

I then heard an tired sigh from behind my flank, coming from none other than my overworked captain.

"Glimmer," He said with an tired sigh,

"While yes, its only a ""light bump"", it is still worthy for a check up with the Canterlot hospital. It might be something more concerning than not,"

"But can't you just heal me and get this over with?" I said.

He then looked at me, and touched his face, and back at me with a look of tiredness mixed in with a look that says "Im not paid enough for this." He then sighed and looked me dead in the eye and said,

"Glimmer look at me and tell me that again," his gaze unwavering and he continued, "I've already expended most of my mana pool just from one, trying to catch you, two from trying to heal you AND princess Luna the first time around, and lastly from trying to catch you AGAIN."

I just looked at him with a look of pity and looked at the ceiling a few moments after. I felt like such a burden at this point and just closed my eyes until we got to the hospital. While walking to the hospital, I heard chatting from all around me and laughter. Seems like a crowd gathered up at this point, no doubt from the spectacle of Princess Luna, THE Princess of the night, dragging around a guard stallion to the hospital. Thankfully it seems my colleagues from the night guard warned the crowd from getting to close to the princess, and that seemed to calm the crowd down, even for just a little bit.

Now at the hospital, I decided now was the best time to open my eyes and breath a sigh of relief mixed with a groan. Much to my dismay, it seems Princess Luna has tied me to a hospital bed while talking to a doctor right besides me, at least it was the comfortable kind unlike last time. I managed to ward away the drowsiness and listened to their conversation.

"Is thou alright?" Princess Luna said, with worry in her voice.

"Yes, he is alright my majesty. It seems like the head bump was only light and thankfully, it didn't crack the skull or worse damage the brain," The stallion with a doctor's coat said with a monotone way. This side of Princess Luna she was showing was not widely known to the public, especially since they were still afraid of her because of what happened in the couple of months.

After the nightmare moon incident not many ponies has shown her compassion, the first couple of weeks was especially brutal to her since the incident was still fresh in ponies mind. At that time I was still only guarding for Princess Celestia, but one day I stumbled opon her in the gardens where I used to sleep when breaks still existed for me.

While eating a biscuit I nabbed from the cafeteria, I so happened to see Princess Luna crying in the gardens. I was slightly peeved about somepony else at my usual resting spot, even if the pony was one of the princesses. I walked slowly to sit next to her, she didn't seam to notice as she continued to cry while laying prone on the grass, I was calm on the outside but in the inside, I was both concerned for her and annoyed to her as she was making the mood around her into one that i found undesirable. Once i finally sat next to her, they were a couple of moments that both of us were silent, waiting for the other to say something. Finally, she opened her mouth to say something and I decided that, in that moment, I would do something I wanted to do to her sister for a long time.

"Who are thou to sit next to m- HMPH!" She tried to say but I quickly grabbed my extra biscuit that I was stashing in my bandaged area and stuffed it inside of her mouth.

She stared at me with visible confusion while I looked at her, munching on a biscuit of my own. She looked at me, looked at the biscuit in her mouth, and back up to me.

"WHY DID THOU DO SUCH A T-" She again was trying to say, but got interrupted with another biscuit shoved into her mouth.

"WHY THOU-" She tried to say with her eyes now glowing a white, blinfing glow.

"I thought you needed the biscuits," I said, while looking her dead in the blinding eyes of hers, "You looked down, and when I'm down I shove biscuits in my mouth."

She went from a look of anger to a look of confusion, she looked back to the two biscuits in her mouth and silently chewed on them both, clearly thinking of something. While she was thinking i grabbed another biscuit and showed it to her.

"Want another one?" I said with a slight smile.

"...Yes" She said, while she grabbed the biscuit and ate it silently.

I recounted the memory with a smirk on my face, Princess Luna must've known what I was thinking about and put a hoof on my mouth and tied my muzzle shut with a rope while no one was looking. She then looked at me with the most shit-eating grin I've seen from anypony in my life and put a hoof on her mouth to signal me to be silent. I just rolled my eyes as she did what ever mischievous thing she could think of in the moment, the thing she came up was to make a mustache with a white marker on my face and a "stomp on me" message on my chest with a royal stamp. She then read her own message and muttered under her breath,

"Oh! if you say so," and promptly stomped on my chest with one of her hoof. She then laughed at my pain and whispered in my ear,

"That was for all the worry you caused us this day," whilst giggled under her breath and yelled "SHINING ARMOUR, GLIMMER HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO THOU!" and promptly teleported away with a black flash.

I could only sigh as Shining armour opened the door, took one look at me, read the message left by Luna, and promtly sighed and stomped on my chest.

"It's royal orders I cant argue againts that, sorry Glimmer." I only looked at him with a pained look in my eyes, almost crying.

"I'll see you tomorrow, get some rest. Will you?" He then left, not even untying the rope on my muzzle. Shining armour while leaving, put on ear muffs and walked away as his friend's muffled cries for help was put on deaf ears.
