Once more upon the Day

You and the others step off the train. Once more Spike has been selected to carry all of your luggage. You do legitimately like Spike at least a little bit, but you can't help but laugh at the situation he finds himself in. You laugh as he struggled to hold up objects that any onlooker would be surprised even fit in Rarity's house. You all walk away from the train station. Apparantly there are several reserved carriages to take you all to the castle. Rarity has to sit with her belongings, so you decide to sit with Fluttershy.

You kind of expect the trip to be quiet, Fluttershy being Fluttershy and what-not.  But about halfway to the castle (from what your surroundings can tell you) she starts off a conversation with you.

"So umm...how do you...like living in Ponyville?" she asks, it looks like she'd curl into a ball if you so much as looked at her intently, so in a soft voice, you remark

"I love it very much."

Fluttershy actually perks up a little at this, with a smile. "So..umm..how do you like our friends?"

  to this, you try to flatter her with a reply of "You're all great friends Fluttershy, and I enjoy everyone's company, especially yours." At this remark, Fluttershy blushes vividly but lets out a smile, this is what you were looking for out of her, some sign of happiness.

You finally arrive, the ponies there to assist you don't really need to help, neither you nor Fluttershy packed much of anything. When you both notice that you have no luggage, you giggle a little to yourself. You see the other carriages arrive shorty thereafter, fhe other ponies step out one-by-one. You see a stallion who approaches you.

"Hello, I'm the captain of the guard, Shining Armor, you might know me more by my sister though" he says.

When Twilight sees him she runs over and gives him a hug. With  Twilight in one hoof he looks at you and says "So you're the guest of honor, congratulations. I've been sent to escort you to Princess Celestia's room, she said she wanted to talk to you more privately."

  At the mouthing of those words, Twilights eyes widen, she was probably proud that her friend who had just moved to Ponyville was already going to speak to the princess. Although this is no normal pony. That's for sure.

Shining Armor starts to walk inside of  Castle Canterlot, you decide to follow. The Mane six follow closely behind, with the servants carrying their luggage. You all walk into the main hall.

"Alright, for you six, your rooms are right down that way" he says, pointing his hoof in a direction that really doesn't interest you enough for you to turn around and look.

"And now follow me, Adept" he says in his serious business tone. Since their was a special event, there were extra guards in the hallways. They all immediately seemed to recognize both Shining Armor and you. They step aside and salute to shining, and they merely smirk at you. I wonder why.

After a short while, you both approach a set of large doors with two guards stationed at it. "So you are the one that the Princess sent for?" they ask. I and Shining Armor both nod simultaneously, and then the guards open the doors. Inside is the alicorn herself, Celestia. standing looking out of her window.

"I have brought him, ma'am" Shining armor says in an 'all-business' voice that is usually reserved only for talking to roalty, just like right now.

"You may leave, good work" she tells him, without her eyes even slightly shifting.

"So I see you've adjusted to your new life well?" Celestia questions, slightly shifting her line of view towards your person.

"Yes, Princess Celestia, I have been having a most enjoyable experience." you reply with what you try to make sound like your formal voice.

"Please, just call me Celestia" she says with a slight smirk.  "Now, down to the business of why I had you come up here..." she says with a kind of ever-so-slight-shift to the left. "I have recieved an anonymous letter, from someone who says he'll be attending, but he also says he knows you." she says with a look of expectance, she probably expects you to explain.

"Well I've made quite a few friends" you say, but Celestia stops you, and adds,

"It says it's from someone with the initials S.M., does the sound familiar?" she asks, genuinely interested in whether it's genuine or a prank.

"Oh yeah, I know that guy." you reply with a thoughtful grin.

"Care to tell me from where? I'm slightly curious." Celestia says. You believe that's odd considering that she usually knows most of everything, she is practically an omnipotent being herself

"Well, I could never lie to you. I know SM, because he brought me here in the first place. You see, he contacted me with an E-Mail (A letter we send through a network) claiming he could send me to Equestria, and that he is some kind of omnipotent being. Anyways, I went through with it, and now I'm here." you explain, a little out of breath from the explanation (it was quite a mouthful).

"Interesting, and now he's coming to the castle? Looks like you have friends in powerful places" Celestia says, with a look of intrigue and the look of her pondering what kind of being Supreme is, possibly.

But there are just so many possibilities, they are quite literally endless. And it's really hard to see the viewpoint of a being that's been a live a few thousand years.

"You may go now, I will see you at the ceremony, you should get some rest" she says. You are relieved to be dismissed, you'll need a bit of time to ponder exactly what just happened.

"Well that was a hassle" you say to yourself. Truly explaining your predicament can in itself be a little taxing to say the least. You did not expect to ever see SM in person, or even get contacted by him after going to Equestria, then again, a lot of unexpected things happen. You think the best thing to do for now is to go to the room in the castle you'll be using. You walk down the hall, and see a guard waiting.

He looks at you, you know from his look he was waiting for you. "Your room is this one, sir" he says, pointing his hoof at a large set of metal doors. You'll have to memorize this layout, you think to yourself. Especially since these doors for the most part all look the same. At least you have the guards to assist you as far as directions go.

You trot over to your door, and push it open. The room itself is quite impressive, with a huge bed in the center, colored with the same color-scheme as the rest of the decor here. It has a large table as well, with some parchments and an inkwell. You just decide you need some sleep, and you get onto the bed, laying underneath the covers, you realize just how soft it is, and you slowly drift off to sleep.

  You awake to see that some Royal guards have been sent down to get you. This was expected of course, you are the guest of honor and it wouldn't make very much sense if you weren't the first person there.

"The ceremony will be starting soon sir, her highness sent us to retrieve you" the guards say in unison.

"Alright, let's go" you say.

Upon you saying that, the guards turn around and walk out, presumably with the intent of you following, so that is exactly what you do. You trot along behind then, until they lead you into a large room. You recognize this as the throne room, from your memory.

"He's here milady." the guards say, as they bow down to Celestia. Their face unchanging from it's neutral but serious expression.

"You may take your leave then" Princess Celestia says. As she says this the guards trot out of the room, the doors closing behind them.

At this opportunity, you observe your surroundings, it's the throne room, just like you remember, upon further examination, you note that both princesses are here. Luna is on Celestia's left, and Celestia is on the right. Each with two of their own respective guards, there are also two guards by the door.

"It's a great honor with which you've been bestowed" Celestia says in her business type voice.

"I understand, your highness, and I am pleased to be bestowed with it" you say, bowing to her.

"Please, we're not in public, you don't need to keep up your formal gestures." she says, letting out a slightly amused looking grin. Luna remains silent, standing still, like a statue. "But I do have to ask you, do you know what this SM looks like?" she asks.

"No, I've only ever heard of him through E-mail."you say, trying your best not to show you're nervous about his arrival.

"I've seen him" Luna finally speaks. Her voice is soft, almost like she doesn't want anyone to hear her.

"What was that? I didn't hear you?" Celestia says, looking at her sister with a neutral and straight face.

"Oh, nothing..." Luna says. This time giggling a little and letting out a smile. You sense a small amount of...mischief in the smile, perhaps. It's really hard to tell.

"Alright then, well, from what I've heard, this SM invidisual will be arriving before the ceremony even begins." Celestia says, looking at the letter and cocking her head to the side ever so slightly. "Interesting..." she says under-her-breathe.

"Is something the matter?" you ask, confused by her change in gesture.

"It's nothing" she says.

In an almost amusing kind of irony, as soon as the says that, a shaking occurs in the castle, and the sky outside quickly flashes purple. Luna starts to chucke a little, for whatever reason. And suddenly a portal shoots up in the middle of the throne room.  A blinding flash occurs, and then the portal is gone. In it's place is a humanoid of some sort. Concealed in a set of deep blue armor. His visor is a cyan color, and he has black glowing details. He is holding a sword with purple flame on it, but he quickly sheaths it.

"I'm here." a voice bellows. You simply assume that it's talking, you can't see it's face so really who is to say what it's communication method is? The creature, or person, or whatever you'd consider it, looks directly at you.

"So we meet at last" the creature says. "I am the one who first contacted you about the potential to bring you here."

Your jaw practically hits the floor, what is that thing? "Umm...hello...sir?" you say, hoping not to anger him, his appearance is quite imposing, to say the least. For some unfathomable reason, Luna looks like she is about to die of laughter. She cannot stop laughing.

"Foolish mortal, you know not what you beckon with" he says while still looking at you.

You practically roll into a ball on the floor, to which he responds with....laughter!?

"Haha, got you" he says, and his helmet slides down. Revealing that he is, human...ish? He is shaped like a human, but his skin is gray with glowing runes on it.

"Oh man, don't do that, I almost died there from being scared" you say. Hoping at the very least that he's in a good mood. He just walks over to Luna. At which the guards raise their weapons.

"Halt, no one approached Princess Luna uninvited" one of the guards says, with his spear pointed at SM.

"It's quite alright, you can sheath your weapons." Luna says to the guards in a gentle voice.

"But..but..." the guards are starting to say, but then in defeat they just say "As you wish." and they put their weapons down.

Luna and this...thing...embrace in a hug. Which even makes Celestia step back, she was unaware of this. Celestia and you look at each other in disbelief.  What was happening? The guards even look a little surprised, which is uncharacteristic of them.

Luna just looks up, and says, "You look surprised to see I'm hugging my husband."

As those words are spoken Celestia turns pale, and you fall on the ground, fainted.
