Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Dr Jekyll awoke sharply from his sleep, he lifted his head quickly, trying to get a basic idea of where he was, it was dark but he could get the basic outline of the room, it was small with a small table scattered with what seemed to be papers, he felt something warm next to his body and he almost yelped, he looked next to him quickly and lying next to him was the beautiful Octavia, cuddling against him. He smiled kindly and slowly gave her a lick on her forehead. At this her eyes slowly opening unveiling her beautiful purple eyes, she smiled and yawned at him.

“Hello my love.” Said Jekyll giving her a nuzzle, she nuzzled back slowly.

“Hello honey, you are a lovely pillow.” Jekyll let out a little chuckle.

“Yes...I am….Octavia...what time is it.” Octavia raised her eye brow.

“I don’t know…” She put her hoof on the table next to her feeling for her lamp, she just managed to find it and pressed the button, as the room was flooded with light Octavia looked at the top of her bedroom door where a clock hung stating it was 11 o clock. Jekyll almost jumped out of bed.

“11 O clock! I’m going to be late for my meeting at the castle! Oh crap it’s the meeting about Education, the princess will be there!”

Octavia let out a chuckle as she licked her lover on his muzzle.

“Well you better get going….I shall try and make you a quick breakfast…though it won’t be anything to the standard Poole makes I’m sure.” Jekyll quickly got out of the bed descending down the stairs to go to the small bathroom.

“Try and flatter yourself Octavia….and put down that cello for once.” Octavia chuckled as she went downstairs as well and giggled as she saw Jekyll’s still red ass from last night’s role-play.

“I think the evidence I do put down that cello is pretty clear,” She remarked as they split paths, Jekyll going right to the bathroom and Octavia going left to the living room/kitchen. Jekyll quickly washed himself, not bothering to use shampoo and quickly dried himself, not bothering to take care with his coat; he then quickly threw his clothes on himself, donning his hat as if to disguise his mangled hair. Octavia quickly came out of the kitchen bearing a toasted daffodil sandwich which she placed carefully in Jekyll’s mouth as he left the house.

“Have fun Jekyll!” She called as she watched him gallop for the castle.

In the ball room of the castle, where once Twilight Sparkle had held a party was a large group of aristocratic ponies gathered around a large long table, on the table were large numbers of papers, occasionally being levitated by posh unicorns to take a look at the data, everyone was there, however there was a space between two ponies where Jekyll was supposed to be, one of the ponies who Jekyll was supposed to next to was tapping his hoof impatiently, clearly flustered, he muttered under his breath.

“What is this…Jekyll is never late….The only other time he was late was when he was with that bloody riff raff lady….If he doesn’t come in in a minute I am going to have serious words with that boy.”

Almost on cue Jekyll ran in, as everpony in the all immediately turned to look at him he blushed and began to walk slowly to his spot, everyone looked at his ragged appearance, the daffodil petals on his suit and most of all his glowing red ass. As he took his place slowly the pony next to him hissed.

“What the hell was that? I have heard of casually late but this is ridiculous!”

Jekyll hissed back at him. “Be quiet Grima I was busy alright…very busy with work!”

“Work my arse!” Suddenly a loud coughing was heard, it was coming from a very important looking unicorn in the middle.

“Are you quite finished?”

The two stopped talking. However the unicorn continued.

“It appears Dr Jekyll, according to his account was busy, it appears that he may have been busy causing trouble with his mother, it would explain his red arse.”

The rest of the ponies laughed at Jekyll while he blushed bright red eventually the pony in the middle stamped his hoof demanding silence.

“On a more serious note Celestia is unable to attend this meeting, trouble in Manhehatten has distracted her from her original purpose, and she has sent her most formal apologies and wishes us the best of luck as we shovel through this mound of paperwork. Shall we begin?” Everypony nodded.

Jekyll day dreamed as they discussed the education of Equestria, he started thinking about how he had landed himself in such a boring plot in life, he remembered getting his first PHD at about a teenage age due to his high marks in all of his exams, he remembered how proud his parents had been, he felt at the top of the world. Then he got his second PHD in law and he felt as high as a kite. With these PhDs and his superior intellect he became a well-established member of the inner circles of Canterlotian life, medicine, politics, education he had a hoof in every pie. However that’s where it got boring, after he had finally reached the top rank he could climb to life eventually a grind, almost like a play that had gone on too long, with Jekyll playing a pompous aristocrat who yearned something more. He was awoken from his day dreams by Grima who prodded him violently.

“Your normally on form Jekyll….You have been asked a question!” Jekyll shook his head quickly to get himself back into the real world.

“Sorry I was briefly out of it, please repeat it.” Sadly the question had come from the very important unicorn in the middle.

“I was asking what you think about the imbalance of school grades In Manhehatten compared to Ponyville but now I feel like asking why you are even here Dr Jekyll, you have contributed nothing to this meeting except prove that your so called attention to detail was washed away you distracted yourself with petty things like romancing with peasants!”

With this there was another round of laughter but Jekyll had had enough he quickly slammed his hoof on the table and stormed off sadly showing his spanked arse in the process as he stormed off. Grima quickly bowed, giving his excuses as he ran after the angry doctor. Jekyll paused in the main hall of the castle, he remembered shaking hoofs with Celestia and her prize student on these stairs at the grand galloping Gala, now he stood there growling to himself, thoroughly annoyed with the barbarity of his colleagues. Soon the grey earth pony trotted up to Jekyll, almost as if he actively seeked to make the Doctors life a misery.

“That is quite a stunt you pulled there Jekyll.”

“Grima…I am going to tell you this once and once only…piss off.”

Grima gasped taken back by his foul language and he then growled.

“So…it is true isn’t it? You had another trip to that pleb Octavia!”

Jekyll quickly turned to him; his eyes were almost glowing red from anger.

“She is not a pleb, she is the most beautiful and intelligent mare I have ever know and if weren’t for the utter snobbery of people like you I would of married her the moment I met her.”

Grima put on a very disgusted face, totally shocked by the idea that his tutee was planning to marry with a common musician but suddenly he grinned.

“But we all know what you do with her...don’t we Dr Jekyll….You play your little games with her…..and you leave with a bottom of a naughty foal…I am going to tell you now…If you are ever late for a meeting again, If I hear even a whisper of a rumour that you have met up with that pleb again, I will personally announce your activities to every paper in Equestria, you will be an outcast and I will rightfully take you place in the council to save your family from the shame of your sordid affairs, then you can marry a pleb…as a pleb. Do I make myself clear?”

Dr Jekyll could not believe the treachery of his family friend, his blood boiled in his veins and he even desired to slay Grima then and now, he closed his eyes, almost roaring with rage at the utter arrogance and sinister nature of Grima’s threat, but he slowly gritted his teeth and muttered admitting defeat.

“I understand.” Grima grinned knowing that now Jekyll was under his hoof.

“And I had always thought it was only Octavia who could make you heel like a dog.” He chuckled evilly as he slowly departed. “See you later Dr Jekyll.”

Jekyll stood there, his mind now fully corrupted with rage and anger. How dare this pompous arrogant aristocratic oaf prevent the brilliant Doctor Jekyll from seeing the love of his life? Jekyll was determined to see his Octavia…by any means necessary.
