Golden was a pony like any other pony… well except the fact she was part of a royal family first in line in fact but she never wanted to be in line at all but this is where our story begins…

It was a normal sunny day in shinopilis named after the fact that that the castle always shined in the middle of the of the empire yes don’t worry it wasn’t too shiny or nopony would live there. Golden was looking in the mirror brushing her blonde and blue mane.

“So this is the day huh this is the day I meet the colt im going to be arranged to when we get to legal age huh I wish I had a choice in this” golden said to herself

It was then when the maid golden had the most connection with came in to her room.

“Hello mz golden do you need any help with your dress later” the maid asked

“…I don’t need it but I would like it especially since the colt im being married of to I don’t even know and im expected to have his kids when we`re older and im gonna have to move from my home to a long way away and im stressed about it” golden said

“I know if I could change it would but its not up to me unfortunately but hey at least it isn’t for another 8 years” the maid said

“I know but that’s 8 years of dates and having to be pretty for a guy I don’t even think ill like, having to prepare to marry him, have his kids and last but not least preparing having to goodbye to shinopilis my siblings and-and you” golden replied tearing up

“Its okay its okay im going t spend every second I can with you for the next 8 years after tonight because your parents know that if I come youll just stay with me instead of meeting that prince im sorry I cant though” she said as golden put her muzzle onto her chest fur to calm he self down

That night

Golden walked into the ballroom in her purple and magenta dress the floor feeling weird with the silver shoes she has on her whole world darkening and crumbling more and more as she gets closer to the boy whos name is lapis crown

“Hello golden is it?” lapis said excitedly

“Yeah and im guessing you’re the one whos parents struck a deal with mine to get me to marry you” golden said frustrated

“Uhm yes but I need to tell you something and I really hope you don’t get mad” lapis said both slightly scared and confused

“What is it” golden said as bluntly as she possibly could without losing her calm demeanour (at least on the outside and with her voice)

“I’m kinda sorta the pony who convinced my parents I have a uhm crush on you and I have ever since I first saw you when you and you parents came to my castle so they could make a peace treaty in case I didn’t like you but now we will have a peace treaty permanently because of our marriage when we get married” lapis revealed

“I see at least you don’t seem like a jerk so far” golden said keeping her demeanour.

30 minutes of silence went past.

“Would you care for this dance?” lapis said innocently

“…silently growls fine” golden says as lapis takes goldens hooves.

They started to dance.

The night went past and golden was given his phone number (not by choice of course) and literally less than 5 minutes after he left golden finally relaxed in her bed and she heard a ring come from her phone and sure enough it was Lapis.

Golden answered

“Hello why are you calling me already?” Golden asked.

“Oh, I was just hoping we could talk while I’m on my way home.” Lapis said nervously.

“Okay, fine so what do you like to do in your free time?” golden asks

“Oh uhm it’s a little embarrassing but I like to play tabletop roleplaying games like ogres and oubliettes and warhammer”
lapis said blushing out of embarrassment

“I like OnO too maybe we could play one day I know at one point we’re going to have to go out soon so it would be nice to get to know the pony Im arranged to at the very least” golden said

“Really you do?” lapis said excitedly

“Chuckle yeah I also play video games but I mainly play games like minecraft and animal crossing” golden said
“I’m not allowed to play video games, yet I have to wait until I’m 13” lapis said.

“Jeez that’s boring” golden said jokingly

“Not really I’m used to it at this point” lapis replied

“Okay. Well I’m getting bored ill see you when I’m forced to see you” golden said

“Oh… ok, I guess. Goodbye” lapis said sadly.

“Your not gonna make me feel bad. Goodbye” golden replied and she hung up.
