I stared as she slowly landed on ponyville, it was a bit shocking to the civilians as many people normally see her with her guards, Once we landed, I quickly got out of her hold and readjusted my clothing. Princess Celestia raised an eyebrow, at me,

I smiled after I straightened my tie, "In my land, we men prefer to be not to be carried by the women love that."

"The men I assume to be the males of your land?" Princess Celestia asked tilting her head slightly in amusement, "The woman I presume to be the same for the females?"

I nodded. as we slowly, as we walked, there horses er...ponies stared, ponies whispered, ponies gossiped, Stallions stared at me with wide eyes, while Mares were blushing. Some outright drooling at the sight of me, and some of them both of us.
Some were jealous of Celestia, while others were giving me a predatory look.

As we walked to through the streets, A pink pony suddenly blurred in front of us, "Hiya princess, oooh your dating James you lucky mare you! Oh, Oh. Oh, I am not jealous not at all, maybe a little bit, ok maybe a lot but. but hey, now I have to plan a welcome to pony Ville James and congrats on the relationship with the princess thing, or maybe I should do it the other way around huh, huh, huh?"

Princess Celestia giggled slightly at my flat look. Pinkie was talking way too fast; I heard her but come on man.

"She isn't my mare." I crossed my are- I mean my forelegs, standing on my hindlegs, "I am just-"

"We are working things out." Princess Celestia replied interrupting me with a nervous look, she flinched slightly at the look I gave her, it was not a nice one. I don't like it when people interrupt me, it's so disrespectful Ponies included

Pinkie glanced at us confused, before she shrugged her shoulders, "Well if you aren't in a relationship. She practical bounced behind me before she raised her hoof and smacked my ass, electing a lot of gasps, and a slight couple of whistles from the crowd, a grin on her face

"Pinkie like" she said with a tinge of desire in her cheerful tone before vanishing.

"R-right..." Princes Celestia took a deep breath clearing her throat, trying to ignore the anger growing within her from Pinkies actions, "Shall we be off then?" She raised her foreleg at me, she was slightly nervous. I had a frown on my face, even though I liked the feel slightly, I was a bit pissed off at the moment. Princess Celestia could sense I was unwell, and it only made her anger at pinkie grow slightly.

I stared at her flatly, my pride getting slightly in the way of being a man, but I swallowed it down. I shook my head, patted my hoof on her shoulder, before we continued to trot to the cakes, I went through the door, "Mr. Harvey!" Mr. Cake said with an excited grin as he rushed to greet me, before faltering at the sight of the princess, "I er... he bowed slightly at the princess your majesty."

"It's good to see you too." I said my mood slowly being better

"Greetings..." Princess Celestia spoke softly, "Where is your mare we would like to-"

"No." I interrupted her, smiling at him, causing her to raise an eyebrow at me, ha! not so fun to interrupt people, is it? now is it.

"We are in your care today Mr. Cake, show us what you got."

Mr. cake eyes widened, "But but..."

"Remember what I said?" I asked with a stern look, Princess Celestia looked between us slightly confused,

he nodded slowly a small smile slowly formed upon his face, "I should at least tell my wife..."

"How many events occurred here, that your wife did not tell you about?" I asked bluntly, causing Mr. Cake to flinch slightly, "Er..."

"Show us what you got." I repeated, he gave a quick bow, "Er yes, yes your majesty..."

"Just James." I said with a slight grin, "I told you that."

"A-and I told you to call me carrot." Mr. Cake said with a small grin forming on his face as well. As he walked to the counter to make things. Princess Celestia looked at me, then to Mr. Cake, then back to me. She had never actually seen me communicate with anyone before, and seeing me taking control, inspiring others to be better.

Seeing me actually giving strength to other stallions and inspiring them to be better actually made her like me even more. Perhaps even a touch of admiration. The fact that I was actually not afraid to stand up to her, or any other mare, or make my feelings none was actually kind of hot as well.

I noticed her look and shrugged slightly...before gesturing a hoof to her, "After you?"

"You know we need a lot to learn from each other." Princess Celestia said with a chuckle, "I as a princess cannot possibly go first, it is against my core as a gentle mare."

I stared at her flatly, but you could see small traces of amusement in my eyes, "Alright, fair enough," I shamelessly went first without care and took a seat on the stool. Not like my own, it was actually kind of refreshing in a way. Princess Celestia walked to sit down beside me, and the two of us sat down for a long moment looking at the menu, for a long moment, more colorful than what I am used too...

Cupcake walked into the front desk her eyes frozen slight at the sight of me, but more so the slight of Princess Celestia, 'Y-your majesty I didn't expect you to be here?" She stammered, giving Carrot a quick why the hell did you not tell me look, " Are you with James?"

"I..." Before I could say anything Princess Celestia wrapped a foreleg around my waist, I gave her a look slightly uncomfortable with the position, I pushed her slightly off of me, and giving her a clear look, not on the first date, ignoring how nice it felt.

Princess Celestia chuckled, "It's complicated."

"No it's not." I said placing my hooves under my chin, looking at the menu. Ignoring the shocked look from all three ponies at my audacity. What I didn't really see was the small ghost of a grin forming under Princess Celestia's muzzle.
