"I...can't I'm sorry." I said with a shrug of my shoulders, her heart sank at my rejection. "I...I see..." she muttered, turning to leave, but I placed my hoof on her shoulder stopping her.

"You seem like a good per-er...Pony..." I caught myself slightly, "It's not that you're not attractive, It...is a big step for me...and in my nation, we look down living with a person we just met, for obvious reasons."

She looked at me curiously.

"What kingdom do you hail from?"

"America." I said, looking at her. Princess Celestia frowned, "It may seem I never heard of such a kingdom."

"It's very far away." I said with a nod, "But, maybe we can start small, maybe like a date...show me around at least the local area."

Her eyes widened as her heart skipped a couple of beats, "Truly?"

I looked down trying to hide my nervousness; with me, I was never used to being the center of attention. I was attractive, or was I not, the couple of girls throughout my life, I managed to finally get the confidence to get a number. They never called me back, so I kind of gave up.

"Sure...but make no promises, I ain't being by your side yet, I still got a bar to run after all."

"YE-" she cleared her throat, "I-I mean of course...I would never stop you from such activities," There was a hint of admiration in her tone, I guess being the only stallion she has known to be so independent and owning stuff, "Very well what time shall I be here to pick you up?"

"Let's do tomorrow." I said, "As for the time, I am not r sure what your kingdom has for a.."

"8:00am." Princess Celestia informed, causing me to nod, "the time on your clock is correct."

I nodded, "Right, thanks." I looked down this time in thought before looking at her, "You can pick me up at 8:00pm, but be mindfull that in our nation the men normally pick the woman up?"

"Men?" Princess Celestia tilted her head, "I am afraid I am unfamiliar with such a notion, is that what you call the stallions of your land?"

"Something like that." I smiled mysteriously, "Now take care of yourself right?"

"Right...you as well."

I turned to trot behind the bar, Celestia caught herself staring right at his rear, she shook herself out of her funk, to turn and trot gracefully out the door. Using her magic, her horn glowed, as she closed the door and locked it .

As I got on my stool I placed my chin back on the table. I didn't know what to expect in the future, but the ruler seemed kind enough. I can't be by her side, I had just met her. I can't abandon my bar just like that, it is the only thing I got here.

I raised my eyebrow at what the princess just did, closing the door and locking it with the magic thing I had been trying to get down.

I saw the only perso-pony ever managing to do such a thing was Twilight,

Was it a thing only exclusive to ponies with wings and a horn?

Or was it something anyone was capable of learning?

It doesn't matter, as I was the one with the wings and horn thing too.

Regardless.

"I... got to learn how to do that."

It could be so useful to me.
