Chapter 17
Encounter in Canterlot
You woke up the next day to the sound of somepony coughing. Followed by that same somepony vomiting. You quickly got up and went to the bathroom to comfort Rarity. It pained you to see her like this… Such a strong mare with a few tears clinging to the corners of her eyes. ‘It will all be worth it in the long run. A happy life with the three of us. Who knows, maybe there will be more?’
After the morning sickness started to fade, you went downstairs and grabbed a glass of water for her. On the way back up you had to offer some comforting words to a worried Sweetie Belle. It was understandable. It’s not every day your elder sister is reducing to a crying, puking mess.
With this unpleasant business over, you elected to pack for Rarity and yourself for the trip to Canterlot. While you weren’t sure how long you will be able to stay there after you take care of Blueblood, you were hoping for the best and packed for a weeklong trip. Normally you shouldn’t have to pack at all, since you didn’t have to wear clothes, but Rarity insisted.
Instead of putting up a fight about it, you simply caved in and packed a few suitcases (Why does she want so many clothes?!) with her dresses, and a few of your suits, some make up. While you could understand why she wanted it, you couldn’t help but worry. You didn’t want it leaking and ruining a bunch of dresses. When she asked why, you explained how that kind of thing always happened to your shampoo bottles when you went on vacations. She assured you that those kinds of things didn’t happen. Lucky ponies….
After getting everything packed up while Rarity rested on the bed for a while, you both head out the door. Rarity is worried about Sweetie Belle, but you’ve assured her she’s a big mare and can handle herself for a few days. That and you may have also promised Sweetie Belle to take her out to lunch with her friends if she didn’t destroy the Carousel Boutique while you were gone. Though Rarity didn’t know that, you had promised another horn job should you both come back to a disaster zone.
The trip down to Canterlot was as boring as you figured it would be. Though the view was quite nice. Considering Rarity hardly stopped standing to stare out the window when Caterlot came into view. So your view was quite nice indeed…
Regardless of what was happening now, or what has happened to get here. Well, the packing of suitcases anyway. You were almost to Canterlot. Capital of Equestria, and home of the Royal Pony Sisters, Celestia and Luna. More importantly to you own agenda, Blueblood.
Blueblood may not have been behind the first attack on Rarity, but he was on the second. His attempt on her life will be the last mistake he ever makes. You’ll make sure it is. You just couldn’t believe the gall of the pompous son of a bitch! Just thinking about it got you all sorts of pissed off! To think he had the nerve to attack you and your fiancé, who was apparently carrying your child! Oh yeah, there was going to be hell to pay, of that you had no doubt.
When the train pulled into Canterlot, you got off your seat and gratefully stretched out your legs. Wings would have to wait till you were outside. Quickly disembarking, you stretch some more, this time including your wings, flapping them a few times to get the sleepiness, and stiffness out of them. Then you noticed something. Or the lack of something. Sound in this case.
Canterlot being a city, like a real city as you understood it, it wasn’t really full of birds, so that wasn’t to unusual. But ponies chattering, walking, and doing other things was. You became dreadfully aware of lack of sound, and the fact that every ponies eyes were on you. This was one of the more awkward moments you’ve ever experienced. Now that you are thinking about it, Equestria is full of awkward moments. You new top ten list of awkward moments is comprised solely of shit that’s gone down since you got to Equestria.
You slowly fold your wings back in, as if any sudden movements would cause them all to leap and attack you like Predators. Not like lions, oh no, Predators with plasma cannons, stealth systems, and all around general badasses. Those Predators. You slowly backed into the car to get your suitcases from the over head compartment. With Rarity in tow you levitated the suitcases above your head walking off towards the palace. Still proceeding slowly, and with caution.
The crowd of the train station slowly slipped from your field of vision as you made way towards Canterlot Castle. Silence followed everywhere you went. Ponies stopped what they were doing and stared. As if to heighten the creepiness, a gust of wind blew through.
You steadily picked up the pace at which you walked to the castle, and started a brisk trot. Clearly they were shocked at seeing another alicorn walking the streets. You couldn’t help but smirk at how the ponies, mares in particular, were looking at you. ‘That’s right, look at me and my awesomeness. All eyes on me ladies, I’m the only REAL stallion you’ve ever seen.’
While Rarity (thankfully) couldn’t read your thoughts, your expressions were a different story. “Jason, dearest, what are you thinking about hmm?”
That caught you off guard a little. You should’ve seen this coming. Damn you and your big ego. “Uhh…” ‘Think brain! Think! Need an excuse!’ After a few seconds you gave up thinking of an excuse. ‘Fuck this…’ “I was drinking in the attention like an attention horse. I’ll be honest, having all eyes on me feels pretty damn good.” You drape one of your wings around Rarity while walking. “Now, all eyes are on the both of us. Look around Rarity, all your dreams are coming true. You will be the pony every pony must know, and your dresses will be the dresses everypony must have.” ‘Nice save brain!’
Rarity leaned in to give you a quick peck on the lips. Quite hard to do while walking mind you, but you didn’t give a flying fuck which, thanks to magic, was quite possible, and was a whole lot of goddamn fun. Or Celestia, you weren’t sure on that yet. You were getting kisses and you were happy. “I couldn’t have done it without you darling. I love you, so very much. There isn’t enough time in the day to tell you, and not enough time in the night to show you either. Not for lack of trying anyway.” She finished with a light tint of pink to your cheeks, and a little giggle.
“Oh ho ho! Such a naughty little filly! Talking about such things in public!” You say in mock disgust. You could only hold the poker face for a second before laughing. This however, is where Rarity’s time with a vulgar human personality really shows through. Catching you sooooo very off guard.
“A naughty filly am I? What are you going to do to punish me hmm?” If the tone of her voice, and the look she was giving you could get ponies off, everypony who could’ve heard would’ve hit the floor in orgasmic bliss. In reality all it did was freeze you stock still, and your wings, cheeky bastards they were, giving the signature sky salute. Or, a wing boner. Much to the amusement of Rarity, and the shock of everypony else.
Thankfully though, you didn’t drop the suit cases. Though they did falter in midair for a moment before you caught them again. You decide to play along and to see if you can’t get her back. After quicking your pace for a minute to catch back up to the still giggling Rarity you start talking again. “So you wanna know what I’m going to do hmm? I was thinking something with ropes and whips. Give ya a good spanking for this little our burst of yours.” You smirked at her silence drinking in your victory.
It was short lived as she soon spoke. “Oh really? Guess I have QUITE the night to look forward to, though I didn’t know you were into that kind of thing. Anything else I should know?” She is such a freaking troll! She doesn’t even know what that is but she knows every damn button to push to rustle your jimmies! It’s mostly in a good way too! Though, not so good in public.
“You little minx you! God damn I couldn’t get any luckier with my choice of mare!”
Rarity smirked having won the battle. “And don’t you forget it!”
You place your wing back over her and pull her in with it. As it turned out, this was one hell of a romantic gesture for pegasai. Since you have wings, you don’t think it’s any different for you. “Wouldn’t dream of it. You and our growing foal give my life meaning again. These last few months have been some of the happiest of my life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
A quick rupture of the fourth wall later, you both were walking into the front doors of the Palace. The guards were momentarily confused as to whether or not they should let you in, but decided to let you in. Snapping off crisp salutes as you passed. Giving one of your own out of reflex shocked them. It was clear on their faces, which donned an expression for a moment.
“Well here we are! I’ll drop out stuff in the room we will be staying at, then I’ll visit Celestia, who will in turn summon Blueblood as per my request and to either confirm or deny my accusations. If you want you can come with, but it will be safer if you stay here.”
“I’m not letting you go alone darling. For better or worse, together forever. Don’t forget the vows you will be swearing in a month.”
“You got me there.” The rest of the walk to your room was uneventful save for asking some guards where to go. While you weren’t really pleased at Rarity decision to join you, you couldn’t very well say no. Happy wife, happy life. Unhappy wife, stone cold misery of a life.
You set off to the throne room, which Rarity thankfully knew the way to so the travel time wasn’t too long. Of course, it would've been quicker, but one of the suitcases you packed, had a few pieces of your old gear in it was floating alongside you. Blueblood was going to pay, one way or another.
The whole walk to the Throne room was in silence. You had a look on determination on your face, and no pony wanted to fuck with that. Doors were opened without question and servants scrambled to get out of your way. You were a stallion on a mission.
You walk into the throne room where Celestia was seemingly waiting for you. “Princess Celestia, it’s good to see you.” You nod in greeting.
She nodded back to you. “It’s good to see you as well Prince Jason. You are here a day earlier than I expected.”
“I found out who sent the guards. Can you have Prince Blueblood summoned?” She raised an eyebrow at you. “All will be explained in due time.”
“Very well. Guards, go fetch my nephew for me please.” The guards in the room nodded once and left. “So Jason, how is your day going thus far?”
“Can’t complain. The start of it was weird as hell though, figured those stuck up ponies of Canterlot would have a little more care for basic manners. Train ride was boring, but I suppose that’s not a bad thing. So yeah, all in all I’m having a fine day all things considered. How about yourself?”
“I also can’t complain. Though I did have to deal with a fair amount of paperwork, and talk with the odd noble or to.”
“Yeah, royal jackasses with sticks shoved so far up their ass they can’t even bow down right huh? Bet that was LOADS of fun.” That last few words were dripping with sarcasm.
Celestia giggled a bit. “Yes, well-“ Before Celestia could continue, Blueblood walked in. Without much hesitation, you pushed the guards out, closed and lowered the door bar into place. “Jason, what is the meaning of this?”
“I say! What a rude peasant!”
You stare daggers in Bluebloods direction. “I’ll have you know,” You flare your wings aggressively. “I’m no such thing. Blueblood, during my investigation, I’ve confirmed that you sent a hit squad after Rarity. Twice.”
Blueblood looked agast. “I did no such thing! You awefull creature! Accusing me of such a thing! Besides, I don’t see this ‘Rare Bitty’ mare of which you speak.”
Rarity, who was hiding behind you stepped out and said, “Then how do you explain your cutiemark being on the armor of the guards that nearly raped and killed me? And it is ‘Rarity’ you stuck up mule.” Her voice was even. Which, somehow was unsettling to you.
“You!” Blueblood shouted, pointing at Rarity. “You are that awful harlot who ruined the Gala! Be gone with you, you little tail lifting whore!” Had both of Celestia’s eyebrows been visible, you would’ve seen them skyrocket. If looks could kill, even Chuck Norris would’ve felt the one you are giving Blueblood.
You walk over to Celestia who’s eyeing you carefully. Your wings ruffling the whole way over. “I apologize for this Celestia.” You reach your hoof out while you spoke, and touched it to Celestia’s chest. (Not like that! Freaking perverts. A ponies tits are on their belly. Learn some freaking anatomy!) The static electricity you had built up in your body passed into Celestia’s body and acted like a tazer. She jolted once, and collapsed onto the ground twitching as she watched you walk over to a horror struck Blueblood.
“Blueblood. You done goofed.” You say slowly walking over to him. Rarity, was standing over by Celestia now, probably trying to apologize on your behalf.
“That’s Prince Blueblood to you! I don’t care if you have wings!”
“You really want to die don’t you? You arrogant selfish god damned horses ass! You have made some mistakes. Let’s list them off shall we?” You pick Blueblood up with your magic and fling him against the wall. You smile at the yelp he gave. It was short lived as you started speaking again. “First, you tried to kill Rarity. Then, you made a bigger mistake by trying again, only that time, you tried to kill me too!”
You fling him against the floor violently. And this time, Blueblood screams. You could’ve sworn you heard a bone break. “Then you made your biggest mistake. You made the mistake of insulting the honor of my future wife of a ex spec ops soldier whose job it was to kill jackasses like you!”You flung him across the room he bounced off the wall before coming to a stop.
“I was going to make your death quick, and painless. A quick shot to the head. But then you fucked up. Your death, will neither be swift, nor painless. Your suffering, will be legendary.” He looked at you with horror on his face.
Rarity walked up to you, and smacked you upside the head. “The fuck are you thinking?!”
‘She swore. She never swears. Aww fuck’ “I’m thinking about giving this piece of shit his just desserts! Nopony says that to you and gets away with it!”
“Think about what you’re doing! You can’t afford to go to jail for the rest of your life!”
“Oh come on! Do you really think that there is a jail cell that can keep me locked up? This little prick has tried to ruin our life! Are you really going to stand there and stand up for him?!” While you were arguing, Celestia was starting to recover from her shocking encounter with your tazer hoof and was trying to get to her hooves.
“Yes I am! Unless you want to sleep on the couch for the next few years you better think real hard on your next action!”
Your temper was getting the better of you, and a storm was brewing overhead. Thunder started rumbling across the city as the storm clouds that were appearing out of nowhere started darkening. The Weather Pegasai of Canterlot tried to disperse the sudden storm, but were unable to. “You think those guards he sent had families Rarity?”
Rarity took a step back. Before you lost momentum on your counter argument, you kept going. “Do you think some mares out there will have to explain to their little fillies and colts why their daddy isn’t coming home? How will they support themselves now that their husbands are dead? If this horse's ass over there minded his own god damned business those stallions wouldn't have gotten killed. Those mares wouldn’t have to worry about where dinner is going to be coming from! Who know’s what else he’s done!
If he’s willing to have you killed over something as retarded as a bad party, then what else has he done?! Yet you stand there defending him! Where is the logic in defending this-“ You were cut off as Celestia managed to wobble to her hooves and cast a powerful knock out spell on you. She then proceeded to unsteadily lift the dead bolt up from the door.
As soon as it was up, a dozen guards ran in to assess the situation. “Guards, have Blueblood taken to have his wounds treated, and then take him to the dungeon. Take Jason to my quarters. I will be having words with him when he wakes up.”
They nodded, and the unicorn guards levitated you to Celestia’s quarters, and Blueblood to the infirmary.
Yeah, he's still alive. I'll see what I can do to fix that. But when I really thought about it, things would get really freaking complicated if I did that. I'll see what I can't do to have him 'fall' down the stairs. Or 'choke' on his food. Something less comlicated then flat out murder. Bad enough 'you' assaulted the princess amirite? (ProTip: never edit story's on iPods, it's a bloody nightmare!)
