Chapter 19: First lessons

Well, today was the day I promised Lilly I'd begin her teaching. But, I had to get a few things out of the way first, mainly getting Applejack to apologize to Luna for bucking her in the face. When I went to get Applejack, she was knocked out cold, snoring like a wildebeest. When I woke her up, she didn't remember a thing that happened. I explained the whole situation, and she instantly began to panic, ranting about how sorry she was and how she'd loose the farm from the fines she'd have to pay, or worse, jail time.

Applejack apologized profusely to Luna, saying that she was way too drunk and it would never, ever happen again. Luna was hesitant about forgiving Applejack, but I assured her it would make this sticky mess go away sooner. I made sure the two of them were on good terms before I sent Applejack home. Though, the amount of paperwork I had to do now to waver her fines and keep her out of jail was going to eat up my entire morning. Applejack was lucky I cared for her so much.

Once all that was finally finished, it was time to get Lilly for her first day of tutelage. I really didn't know exactly what to teach her, but a quick stop at my home for some books on the evolution of human kind and ancient history would do the trick. Lilly would soak it all up like a sponge.

I made my way down the halls, my arms precariously cradling the books I had brought over. It was times like this that I wish I could use magic... Well, there would be time to dwell on that later. I knocked on Lilly's door a few times and waited for an answer.

"It's open!" Came the tiny voice from within. I entered and she instantly cheered in joy. "Yay! Finally! What are we going to learn first, huh? What?" She asked excitedly.

I put the books down on the table in the living room, scanning them over. One of my favorite subject was medieval times, so maybe I should teach Lilly that.

"Alright, silly filly. We're going to learn about knights today." Lilly stared up at me in confusion.

"Nights? You mean what Woona makes?" She asked. I chuckled and sat at the base of the couch with the book in my hands. Lilly came over and leaned against my leg as she looked at the pictures of armor clad soldiers locked in epic battles.

"No, Lilly. Knights were once great warriors who would defend their kingdoms from the Kings enemies. There was great honor in being a member of the Knights." I told her. Lilly's eyes were locked on the picture before her of swords clanging, shields bashing, and Knights about to make death blows.

"Whoa... That's cool!" She exclaimed. She pressed her hoof to the page and looked up at me. "Who's this guy riding a pony? Wouldn't the pony complain?" She asked. I chuckled a bit at her naive innocence.

"No it wouldn't. Back in my world, ponies and horses can't talk. They're... farm animals really. I'm glad I'm in a world where they have thoughts and feelings." I sighed happily. Lilly nudged into me and giggled.

"I bet Woona's happy too! After all, you married her." She said happily. I nodded and let my mind wander a bit. What would have happened if Cory and I never showed up here? The Gryphons probably wouldn't be on the brink of war with Equestria, Luna would still be depressed and alone, Applejack would be her normal self, and Lilly... Lilly would probably be in foster care, going from home to home... I caused so many things, but I made so many great things happen as well... Do the pros outweigh the cons? Does everything I do have a consequence on a world I never belonged in in the first place?

"Prince Nathan? Are you okay?" Lilly asked, waving a hoof in front of my face. I snapped out of my train of thought and looked down on Lilly, who was giving me a worried look.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Just got a bit lost in thought... Now, back to your question." I smiled, pointing at the king. "That is the king. It was considered his duty to ride out into battle with his soldiers to face the threats to his kingdom. It made him look noble, brave and powerful in front of all his subjects."

Lilly looked at the king, then back to me. "So... If there's ever a war or something, does that mean you'll lead our knights?" She asked.

That question shocked me a bit. What if there was a war? Would I be asked to lead our troops to victory? Just because I'm a Prince, doesn't mean I instantly know how to fight a war. Am I even brave enough to go to war? Whenever I was in a fight or flight situation, I've always chosen fight. It's been that was since I was young. I always felt this sense of honor when I stayed and stood up for what I thought was right. I even got into a fight in freshman year because some punk was picking on my friend, who really couldn't do much against him. Does that make me noble? Does that mean I'm an admirable leader who everyone will look up to in times of crisis?

I took a deep breath, cooling down my overworked brain. "Lilly, that is a good question. If the time ever comes, I..." I clicked my tongue as I thought again. "... I think I would." I confirmed.

"Why?" Lilly asked simply. Why indeed? I could just assign somepony to lead the armies of Equestria for me, but where's the honor in that? Where's the bravery and chivalry in that? What if the pony I assign to lead Equestria's armies fails and we end up loosing our land to a bunch of thugs? No, I'd want to be the one out there, to be sure that it was me who would either be the one to praise, or the one to blame. Equestria was my home now. It was where my friends lived, it was where my family would grow, and it is where I will someday be buried. It was my duty to defend this land.

But the question still remains... Would I be brave enough if it really happened?

"Well... For one, I'd like to feel like I'm doing my part to protect Equestria and her citizens, and two? Well, I never really belonged in this world in the first place..." I just let that sink in more for myself. It was probably a quadtrillion to point zero zero one percent chance of that happening in the first place. "I guess I would do it also to protect the world that brought me happiness." I finished, giving Lilly a smile.

The filly, I guess, understood. She closed the book on knights and grabbed another one with her magic off the stack. It was about modern America. "What's this one about?" She asked curiously, placing it down in front of me. I opened it up and smiled a bit. Just thinking of home is a funny feeling now. It's a dimension away, but all I have to do is step through a mirror to get there.

"This is about my home country called America. So, besides learning about my worlds history and culture, how would you like to learn how to read and write in our language, too?" I asked. Lilly didn't even have to think for a nano second.

"YES! That'd be awesome!" She exclaimed, bouncing up and down. "Can we learn it now?" She asked. Of course I was going to say yes. The ABC's would be the easiest thing to teach right now. I hated history lessons anyways...

"Sure. Now, Lilly? It's time to learn Earths alphabet, or as I used to call it when I was just a squirt like you, the 'ABC's'."

I spent almost all afternoon working on my written language with Lilly. That filly was damn smart and picked up on it in a little under an hour, which really surprised me. As practice, and her first homework assignment, I set up a few sentences in Equestrian for her to write back in english. So, with our first lesson of the day done, I walked around the castle aimlessly, thinking about what Celestia had said to me last night.

"Well, it can't happen again... So, what am I going to tell Fancy Pants?" I asked myself, leaving the castle grounds and heading into Canterlot. I guess I should probably go and find him to sort this out. Problem is, where could he be right now?

"Um, excusez-moi, Prince Nathaniel?"

Well, maybe I wouldn't have to search far. I turned around to see Fleur De Lis standing behind me, smiling sweetly. I returned it and held out my hand to shake. She placed her delicate hoof in my hand, and of course, I gave the gentlemanly kiss on her hoof.

"Why, if it isn't Fleur. You look lovely this evening." I complimented, making her blush slightly. "Um, it's a good thing we ran into each other. You see, I have to talk to Fancy Pants about the... calender shoot."

Fleur smiled and turned around. "Oh, I know where he is." She said, flashing a grin my way. "He eez back at my place getting ready for a party later tonight. I can take you too heem if you wish."

I took her up on the offer. If I hadn't then I'd just have to put off meeting with him for tomorrow, or until I knew how to get a hold of him... Probably should have sorted that out when I agreed to do this for him... Damn hindsight and your... hindsightyness...

"Thank you very much! You just saved me from an awkward situation next week." I chuckled as I walked along side Fleur.

"Oh? And vhy would it be awkward? is eet because it is illegal?" She asked. Well, it seems I didn't have to really explain a lot to this mare.

"You hit the nail right on the head. Yeah, Celestia... wasn't to thrilled about finding out about the sex changing spell, and when she found out about when we did it again... Yeah, she was pretty pissed. Let's just say Celestia can put the fear of God into you with just a glare."

"Oh mon! Cela semble effrayant." Fleur said in full French... Or, Prance, as it's called here. Heh, it's funny really that the language is exactly the same. You know, I haven't given my French a run for its money since freshman year in high school... Time to give it a whirl.

"Oui, Celestia peut être plus effrayant qu'un dragon quand elle veut être." I said, chuckling when Fleur gave me a surprised look. Basically, I said Celestia could be scarier than a dragon when she wants to be.

"Vous parlez Prançais?" She asked astonished, her mouth agape a bit. I placed my hands smugly behind my back as we rounded the next street. Ponies were bowing before me, which added nicely to my shit eating smugness. Heh, I was such a bad ass here.

"Oui je fais, Fleur. Je devrais vous avoir dit que plus tôt, mais l'occasion n'a été jamais soulevée." I said. (Yes I do, Fleur. I should have told you sooner, but the opportunity never came up). Just for those of you who don't speak French.

Fleur giggled and swatted a hoof playfully in my direction. "Y a-t-il quelque chose que vous ne pouvez pas faire?" (Is there anything you cannot do?)

"Je ne peux pas jongler." (I can't juggle) I replied jokingly, making her laugh as we walked up to the biggest house on the street. The stone wall surrounding the property was covered in a generous helping of vines, which had beautiful, white flowers blooming from some buds on it. They complimented Fleur perfectly with their softness and beauty. "Well, you certainly have a nice place." I said, whistling. "Wow."

Fleur giggled. "Why thank you, Prince Nathaniel. Your compliments mean everything to me." She said that a little bit too... wanting for my taste. I was starting to get that nagging feeling in the back of my mind that she wasn't just being this friendly to me for no reason.

Being raped gives you these secret powers. It's like being bit by a radioactive spider. Except, instead of gaining awesome powers and shooting webs out your wrists, you end up scrubbing your dick down with hot water, crying in the shower and repeating 'that didn't happen' over and over again. Changelings are scary... and I got touched in my no-no square by one... Am I the only guy who has ever complained about a three way? Probably, but I had my reasons...

Fleur led me into her extravagant mansion. The foyer was probably more beautiful than the Castles even! I could barely contain my awe behind my slightly practiced royal face. Okay, so I practiced it for five minutes in a mirror, but I think I did a good job!

"I take it, by your face, that you like zee house?" She asked, giggling.

Fuck... I guess it needed some work.

I picked up my jaw and nodded. "Y-Yeah. This place is amazing! Oh, do you think you can get Fancy Pants so I can discuss the... ultimatum the Princess gave me?" I asked. Fleur smiled and nodded.

"Of course. I vill be back in just a few. While you wait, you can sit in zee living area. I won't be long." And with that, she trotted up the stairs. Now, I know, from watching Luna, when a mare shows certain signs of interest. One being the flank swaying.

And Fleur was swaying. Oh, was she swaying those hips! If I was a man of weaker will, I'd have watched her entire show she put on for me. But, I was a married man and already dodged the bullet with one infidelity. Best not tempt my goddess. I guess it was just Fleur trying to... get on my good side for more publicity? I hope?

I wandered about slowly for a bit in the living room, looking at all the artwork on the wall. There was a couch next to a roaring hearth, which I reclined on, letting the warmth of the fire envelope me. It was really relaxing.

And very, very hot. I took off my over jacket and laid it on the back of the couch, hoping to get comfortable while I waited for Fancy Pants to come down so I could speak to him.

The warmth from the fire and the plush couch was making me a bit tired. A few moments of rest would be a good way to kill some time. I let my eyes close for a few moments as I let out a content sigh of satisfaction.

"Ah, I see you are nice and cozy, no?"

I looked up to see- HOLY SHIT SNACKS! I NEED AN ADULT!

There, standing in the doorway was Fleur, her hair done in pigtails, her legs in fishnet stockings and a choker around her neck, connecting to her tail to lift it high in the air. I really, really shouldn't be here!

"F-Fleur?! What the hell are you doing?!" I asked quickly, getting to my feet so she didn't have a chance to pounce me. She smiled and cutely and made her way to the couch I just occupied, laying across it seductively. Her tail lifted even higher as she stretched out her hind legs, giving me an unobstructed view of her glistening area. I looked away quickly, blushing like mad.

"Oh, I just wanted to slip eento somezing more cozy." She said nonchalantly, giggling as she turned to me again. Oh, yeah, you just look as fucking snug as a bug in a rug! "Does it not please you?" She asked, wiggling a bit on the couch. Okay, I had to admit she was a drop dead gorgeous mare. If I wasn't married, I'd tap that three ways to kingdom come. Hands down.

"F-Fleur, I thought you were getting Fancy Pants?" I said with a squeak in my voice. Fleur picked up on it quick and let out a happy little moan as she rolled onto her side, exposing more of herself to me.

"Mmm. Fancy is out of Canterlot on business and I... well, I guess I have heet my estrus cycle..." She giggled innocently, flicking a pigtail with her hoof.

Goddamn it...

I backed away, chuckling nervously. Fleur noticed and got back up, moving for me slowly, licking her lips. "H-Heh, l-let's not get too hasty here!" I pleaded, hitting the corner of the wall. I sucked in my breath as Fleur pressed her hooves on my chest, pushing me into the wall.

"Oh, don't be so scared of a cute filly like moi..." She cooed, rubbing her hooves along my chest. I was at that point where the libido was starting to get more blood than my brain. I could barely think straight as I stared at Fleur, who licked my cheek with a satisfied moan. "Happy place? It's me! I'm back!"

"I want you to take me... Take me to zee places of bliss for which I know you are so accustomed to. Show me what zee prince of Equestria is like with hees love." She planted her kisses along my neck as I let out a grunt to try and stifle my undesired arousal.

"Fleur, please, stop?" I begged, hoping not to be raped twice in one week. She bit me in the neck in response, making me yelp in surprise. I pushed her away, only to have my arms snapped back by magic. "FLEUR, I SWEAR I'LL CHARGE YOU WITH ASSAULT FOR THIS!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

She paused for a moment, gazing into my eyes. Hers were full of fear, uncertainty, second thoughts and regret. She slowly let me go and backed away, rubbing her forelegs together in embarrassment.

"I-I am sorry, Prince..." She said meekly, looking away. "It eez just... Fancy always ends up leaving during my cycle and... and I haven't had the real thing in such a long time... Please, do not charge me with anyzing? Please?" She begged, her eyes practically glistening as she pleaded with them.

I sighed and nodded. "Don't worry. I don't think I could ever charge a friend with a crime. Heck, look at my friend Applejack. She bucked Luna in the face and I ended up letting her off the hook with it. She could have been in jail for life for that." I pointed out.

"So... You would never charge moi?" She asked hopefully. I chuckled and shook my head.

"You? How could I charge you, Fleur? You're a friend!" And, it was at that moment I made the dumbest mistake of my life. It was like I was playing poker and I had a hand of all aces and I was showing them to the other players.

Fleur pounced me again, pinning me to the couch as she pressed her nose to mine. "Aw, well in that case..." She trailed off, wiggling her hips against me. Before I could protest again, her soft lips pressed to mine. They were so soft and plump and tasted of flowers. It would be nice if I WASN'T FUCKING FORCED! Jesus! It's shit like this that makes me want to just stay in mine and Luna's room forever!

I shut my eyes and focused on Luna, hoping to any deity above that she could hear my plea.

"LUNA? IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, FUCKING SAVE ME! I'M BEING VIOLATED BY FLEUR!!"

Luna hummed to herself happily as she prepared herself for night court, which would commence in just a few hours. While she was still a bit sore from Applejack's buck to the face, she wouldn't let it dampen her spirits none. After all, she was extremely sorry for it, and Nathan had assured her that she meant her apology, seeing as how she was the element of honesty.

Luna let her mind wander to what her husband was up to right now. She had heard from the guards that he was out to find Fancy Pants, no doubt to talk to him about the calender shoot and how it would most likely have to be canceled. It was a shame that Celestia really didn't like the gender changing spell. Just because she thought it was wrong, doesn't mean she had to make it illegal...

Luna's ears suddenly perked up. "LUNA? IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, FUCKING SAVE ME! I'M BEING VIOLATED BY FLEUR!"

She heard his voice, just barely in the back of her mind, calling out for help. This was the first time that ability had been used by her husband. She was surprised he knew how to use it!

But, there was no time for that. He had said he was being violated, and she'd be damned if another mare touched her stallion again unless she said so! Luna ran for the balcony and made for the largest house in Canterlot.

"Hold on, my love! I shall rescue thee this time!" She said triumphantly, bursting off in a flash.
