"Alright, Guard White, enjoy your new posts as a fresh Royal Guard in Canterlot."

"I will, Sir." You salute the Royal Captain as he promoted you to an official Royal Canterlot Guard. You've waited for this day for years, nearly since the first day you've 'been' with Rarity.

"Meeting dismissed. You're clear for today." He moved closer over to your left ear. "My opinion, take the weekend off. You've earned it." His comment makes you smile and shrug your shoulders, relaxing. Captain Shining Armor was generally a forgiving, generous type, and you were grateful for that.

"All I need now is a sign of some sort that says that I've officially become royalty. I'll surprise my marefriend with it tonight, more than likely. She always loves it when I return back after duty like this, so I'd figure this is a good return surprise. Plus, I might get a little.. bonus." You wink as you finish.

"Lucky girl." He hands you a piece of paper, and you turn it up to look at it. It's a certificate of proof, showing that you've become royalty. More precise, a Royal Canterlot Guard.

"Indeed. Well, I'm off for a weekend then." You salute to the stallion, he solutes back. You turn away, open the door and walk down the hallway to the exit. You open the double-doors, both at the same time, and you strut forward, pride flowing through you.

You look around the leaf-covered ground, the people around you anticipating your next move. Generally, anyone that walks through those doors like this are people of importance, heading to somewhere secret or something. Not you. You spread your wings wide, look down and prepare.

You shoot into the sky with one powerful thrust, using your jump and your wing-power in combination to give the most upward thrust, and as you rise into the sky you look down at the leaves spreading across the ground. You can't quite see the faces from up this high, but you imagine shock or surprise.

Your wings work seemingly automatically as you carry yourself across the clouds, making your way to Ponyville. More specifically, Rarity's Boutique. Your mind works quickly, sifting through memories as fast as it can, some lasting longer than others. One sticking out from the rest...

You sit opposite from Rarity at the restaurant table, taking in all the details of her dress all over again. Her white fur, covered by the smooth, thin fabric, hued a gentle purple with a bold black. It didn’t fit with her coat at all, to you, but you’ve never had any sense of style, and she’s pointed that out several times. Still, black on white did look pretty good, even to you. In fact, you remember wearing that very set-up a few times yourself.

“So, want to talk about anything in particular?” She asks you, looking into your eyes as she shifts her position in her seat.

“Just thinking about how beautiful you are today.” You say with a genuine smirk.

“Oh, really, you flatter too much.” She says with a giggle. “You know what my favorite flower is?”

“Oh, giving me something I don’t know again, huh?” Her response for a few moments was but a giggle.

“Dandelion. It’s much simpler than a rose, and the color combination makes it simply shine, wouldn’t you agree?”

That reminds you. You quickly head downwards before you reach the Boutique, and you find the specific flower you’re looking for.

Now you’re ready. It only took a few more moments of flying before you arrived.

You hold the dandelion in your hand in-front of your chest, taking deep breaths before you knock on the door three times. "Be there in a moment!" The lovely voice of Rarity called from inside. You looked around to gain information of your surroundings.

No one else seems to be around. Well, it is a weekend after all, business probably doesn't run on days like this, even though it is quite the beautiful day. "Hello, I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting any business, the door will be open in a moment, please be patient."

"Not here for business." You simply call out. You hear the shuffling stop on the other side of the door. It slowly opens to a white Unicorn woman that you've known and loved for just over a year now.

"Oh, well White, I-I didn't expect you to come over until tomorrow! I-I'm still cleaning up."

"Taking the entire weekend off for a special occasion. If you want, I'll help finish your cleaning work."

"Oh, no, I..." She shook her head. "I couldn't possibly make you do tha-"

"Please, I insist.”

She sighs in defeat. “Alright, fine, but you’re only doing this because you know you get a reward at the end of a day where you help me like this. Admit it.”

“That’s not really the only reason, you know me well enough to know that, I would hope.” You offer her the near-perfect dandelion as you walk inside.

“Oh, thank you.”

“Not a problem, you mentioned that you liked them not too long ago, so on my way here, I figured, why not.” She delightfully took a bite of the flower, savoring the taste for a moment before delicately eating the rest of it.

“I suppose I should mention that not only do I love the look of the dandelion above others, but the taste as well.” She stated, turning back to you. “Shall we get started?”

“Let’s do it.”

"Right," Rarity starts. "I say we start at this side of the house, then work our way across." She puts a hand on your shoulder. "Don't worry, only this floor requires cleaning, not upstairs as well."

You let out a slight chuckle. "Doesn't matter to me how much I have to clean, as long as I'm helping you."

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

“I truly appreciate you helping me out with the cleaning, you’re nearly freeing tomorrow’s entire schedule.”

“Did I really? Well then, it would seem that we can have a lot of time together.”

“A lot of time for.. something special..?” She spoke slowly in a deep, enchanting voice, slowly moving towards you.

“I knew you were looking forward to it, you dirty girl.” You smile and move your face closer to hers. She places her palms on your cheeks, keeping you away from kissing her.

“Not my fault I have a handsome, helpful man that loves me.” Then, she dives in for a quick kiss. “Unless you don’t love me?” She pouts over-dramatically.

“Of course I do, you know that. I probably wouldn’t be doing all of this for you if I didn’t.” You say matter-of-factly. She breaks away from your hold by teleporting away. You look around for a moment before you see her at the stairs, giving you a slight smile, leaning up against the wall.

“Do be a dear and follow me up here, I do have something to do tomorrow morning with Twilight.” You follow her up the stairs, and you walked quickly to catch up with her just so you could have the view of her gorgeous backside as you walked behind her. “So what are you going to do with Twilight tomorrow?”

“Why do you ask?” She stops before she reaches the top of the stairs, turns to you and puts her hands on her hips. You stop, as to not bump your face into her thighs, and sigh.

“Just curious is all.”

“If you must know...” She starts walking up the last few steps. “We’re going to have sweet lesbian sex.” Her admittance has you walking in a daze, not paying attention to anything else, causing you to plant your face right between Rarity’s buttcheeks.

“Whoa, what?” You say in confusion and embarrassment after you free yourself and back up a few steps.

“I’m only joking is all!” She starts laughing as she opens her door, ignoring what your face just did.

She waits for you to get into her room, and when you do, she closes the door behind the both of you, and she walks with you to the bed. You remove your shirt before she has a chance to, as you stuck the Royal Guard proof paper in it’s pocket previously. You felt to see if it was still there, and it was. You let out a sigh of relief as you tossed it to the side. Since you both have three days to be together, you figure you’ll wait until tomorrow to tell her you’re royalty. You’ll gladly go for another round of the usual.
