As I walked down the streets of Dayton oviding people and collapsing infrastructure. As I walked I saw a broken mirror laying next to a wall. I looked into it. Seeing my aryan body. Short yellow hair, light blue eyes and wight skin. My old body. I heard someone behind me moving.

“Hey Nazi!” Some asshole said.

“Leisen hare just because Some genocidal dictator that died from crack overdose determined my looks to be the serprime race doesn't make me part of his party.” I told him.

“Shut up privileged Na-!”

Sirens interrupted him. I looked up to the sky and before I knew it a bright flash blinded the area. I tried blocking the light with my hand but it was no use. Flesh burnt off the flesh. Revilighg not a skeletal hand but a hoove. I immediately woke up. I looked at myself. I looked normalish. Luna barged in the room.

“Is thou ok?!” she asked.

“Oh I just had a bad dream.” I told her.

“Well tell us about it.”

“Well I was walking in a city and some guy started to harass me for being. Well… my race. Then a nuke set off.”

“Do thee feel home sick?”

“No I don't think so.”

“Well let me tell you what. If your home uses those Blades of Tartarus. I’ll tell you.”

“Well, shore.”

Luna walked up to me and led her forehead on mine. “Good.”

She left the room with a smile. I looked at the clock on the wall and it was 11:59. I layed in bed wondering what's with Luna. But before I started to think I fell back asleep.

I felt Celestia lying next to me when I woke up. She was laying there with her body starched out. I sat up to see what other things snuck in. I looked over her and saw a tray with a variety of brushes and my catalyst. “Brush me.” She demanded. She handed me the tray. I put on my catalyst and grabbed the fur brush. She was laying on her belly so brushed her back. I shagged her wings and there was a loose feather. I plucked it and Celestia jumped a little but she immediately returned to her relaxed state. Soon her back was done and I signaled that she needed to roll over. I taped her shoulder and she rolled on to her back. I brushed her belly as well. While I brushed her I asked her a question.

“Hay Celestia. I have a question.”

“Yes my Little Human?”

“Well, it's about your sister.”

“Yes.”

“Well for the past few days she’s been more… affectionate. Why?”

“Well she loves you.”

“What kind of love?”

“She sees you like her son.”

I stopped brushing her in shock. “What.”

“Well I had this conversation with Luna yesterday while you were helping Vera with the chimney.”

“Ya she got stuck.”

“Well she told me that she loves you but wasn't sure what kind and after narrowing it down. We found out. Motherly.”

"Why?"

“because she teched you and nurtured you. The same way I love my student and kingdom.”

“How would that work?”

“The kingdom or student?”

“Yes.”

“Well the ladder is that I help Twilight and her predecessors grow as a pony and fill that gap that I had for a long time. The former is that I created a kingdom in my image. At first it was a little…”

“Traical?”

“No. Let's just say it was more aggressive at the time. But over time I made mistakes and learned and there were times that I screwed up so bad that the whole country imploded. But I'm proud of the ponies that keep it together as the whole.”

“Wow. That's a lot to think about.”

“Well as you think about it. You could brush me.”

After an hour of brushing Celestia’s body. We got done. We walked out of the bedroom and we went to the main hall where everyone was setting up the galla for tomorrow night. As we walked in the main hall I saw that the pegasi was setting up the ceiling decorations, the unicorns made sure that stuff was in order like setting up the carpets and putting tape on the floor say what goes where and the earth ponies set up the heavy stuff like tabules. I saw Vera flying around helping the others. Lya the manager of the place is supervising everyone. I walked around observing the decorations while Cilestia looked at a list bright by one of the guards.

“Hay Sam.” Celestia called.

“Yes?”

“Do you want to see the list?”

“Ya shore.”

Walked over and she handed me a list of things we spent for the past month from the royal treasury. We looked over it together. Food, utilities, but there were other things like milisha. Celectia said that the Cadence probably hired some for the Sombra’s cult problem they have. But at the bottom of the list there was something. I forgot my uniform I bought for the galla that I need to pick up.

“Hey Celestia, I need to go pick up a uniform I ordered yesterday.” I told her. Before Celestia could say anything Vera fell on top of Celesia.

“Are you two ok?!” I asked Them.

“I'm fine but I'm not sure about your friend here.” Celestia told me.

“I'm fine Sam, it's just my belly hurts.” Vera ground.

I helped Vera off of Celestia and helped Celestia up. Celesia got up and put her crown back on, then she sat down on the ground. She looked over to Vera. Vera started to get scared and a little shaky. Celesia lifted her hoove. “Boop” Celesia said after booping Vera. All of the tenchen in Vera just disappeared.

“Ok. You could go pick up your suite Sam. In fact Vera you could go with him if you like.” Celestia told us.

“What? I'm getting the rest of the day off?” Vera asked.

“If you spend the day together.”

“Yes!” Vera said excitingly before she ran off.

I was going to ask why, but I decided to stop myself. Soon Vera ran back. We got ready to go. As we exited the front door Celestia waved goodbye. As we walked past Blueblood’s manchen Vera decided to start a conversation.

“So Sam once you get done with Luna tudering you what will you do later on?” she asked.

“Oh I only got done yesterday.”

“Relly. What is the biggest city in Equestria?”

“Manehattan.”

“Ok. Where is Canterlot and why?”

“In the medal of Equestria and to govern the country more effectively.”

“Good. What rights does the citizens of Equestria have?”

I took a deep breath. “First right is freedom of life, liberty and expression. Second, the right to health and education. Third, the right to fair trial. Finally, the fourth is the right for fair opportunity.”

“Good! So what are your plans later on?”

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“Well I got a job.”

“Relly what is it?”

“I’ll be overseeing the construction of hating towers over at the Crystal Empire.”

“When will you start?”

“In a week or two. It really depends on how smoothly it goes.”

“It looks like you got everything settled then.”

After that conversation we walked through Canterlot and it was busy but luckily me and Vera didn't get separated. As we walked down the street we were continuously bumping into other ponies but nothing out of the ordinary. Eventually We made it to the clothing shop. It was filled with clothes and all kinds, the walls were red and the place had a brown rug floor. As we walked in there was a blue unicorn stallion that greeted us.

“How can I be at servist.” He asked.

“I'm here to pick up an order for Sam.” I told him

“Oh you were the guy from the other day. Yes?”

“Ya im a guy from the other day.”

“Just a few minutes I'll get you your uniform.”

As he walked to the back room. Vera looked at all the clothes. The one she was looking at was a nice red column dress. As she looked at all of the dresses and looked at their sizes to make sure they fit. Soon Vera desidend she was going to get a new dress for the galla because a few days ago she got tickets to the galla in the mail. But before she could even try on her first one in the changing area the stallion came and got me. He showed me the uniform I paid for. It was a blue military-like uniform with two chest pockets one on each side, golden colored caller and edges, with silver buttons. I thanked him and I got my uniform. I headed back to the changing room and Vera showed me a lot of choices. Everything from a bouffant and trapeze to peplum and sheath dress. Soon after she decided to go with the red column. She bought it and we headed back. As we walked I desired to ask her something.

“Hay Vera, how did you become a maid?” I asked.

“My job?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“Well a year ago I was trying to get money to save up for my sister to pay for surgery to remove her wings. And soon into my journey to find a job that paid decently I found one in a newspaper for a maid. I wasn't paying attention to the context and I signed up. I figured I would be working for the nobility but when I got started I was shocked. I never would've thought I'd be working for the Princess. THE Princess!”

“You got it just because you wanted to help your sister.”

“Yes.”

“Once you got the money for the surgery. Will you quit?”

“No, I actually like my job, outside of the nobules and I'll probably get my own home in canterlot. but.”

“But what?”

“But will we still be friends?”

“Ya of course unless you move away and never come back we'll be friends. In fact I don't think I have much of a choice if i’ll be getting my own home.”

“Why?”

“Oh because the princess like me and Celestia told me this morning that Luna sees me like her child.”

“Seriously?!”

“Yep. While I brushed her.”

“Well I'm gonna go home now goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

After Vera told me all that we split. Vera headed home and I walked back to the castle. It was around brunch time. I opened the front doors to get in. The place was quiet. A little two quiet. I looked around then I was tackled by a blue blur. “Gat ya!” it shouted. I quickly picked it up and body slammed it. I got back up and my heart started to slow back down. I realized that it was Luna. She wasn't harmed.

“I'm so sorry!” I apologized.

“Oh we just wanted to spook thou.” She told me as she laid on the floor.

“Are you ok?”

“Yes, we're fine. Sister made tost.”

“Ya I'll be having some toast after I put my uniform up but do you need a helping hand?”

“Thanks.”

She rolled over and I grabbed her hoof and she got up and went to the dining hall. I went to my room and pulled my uniform out of the bag. When I pulled it out a thought came to my mind. I tried it on ,then looked at myself in the mirror. After I looked at myself I put the uniform up and went to get tost. When I got there, there was a plate with a lot of toast. Luna was walking in with a honey bottle. She grabbed some toast and put some honey on it. She offered it to me after she got her share. I thanked her and had some toast with honey as well.

As I ate my slice of toast I figured Why the hell not. I went to the kitchen, grabbed a tub of butter, a butterknife and grabbed the plate of toast. Then I started to offer toast to everyone. First ponies that got some toast were some of the guards and they liked it, then some of the maids joined in. Soon enough there was a line of ponies arose in the halls waiting for some toast. But eventually I ran out. Some were disappointed and others didn't really care. I had a guard tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around to see him. “Sary sir, I'm out of tost.” I told him. He shulked his head. “The princesses need you, there at Princess Celestia’s office.” he told me.

I nodded to him and went to Celestia’s office. I walked up to the door and opened it. There was Celestia and Luna was sitting by a table on couches with a cup of tea along with some books on the table.

“You two needed me?” I asked.

“Please sit down, we want to talk.” Celestia said to me.

“Ya sore.”

I sat down and got some tea from a spare cup thay had. I looked at what else was on the table, there was a big book, a card deck, and an open game of equestrian chess. Then Celestia said.

“Sam, the reason why we called you here is because of your well. Origins.”

“Didn't I tell you guys a lot already about my world.” I told them.

Luna pitched in. “Well yes but we are more about thou’s past life.”

“And we know that you don't like to talk about it but…” Celestia stopped to thank. Then she opened her mouth again. “We wish to help you.”

“I pervore not too.” I told her.

“Well then why?”

“Because I don't like to.”

“Sam, I know what you wear… an Aian.”

“Let me guess. Luna told you.”

“Yes. but please tell me. So I can help you get over them.”

“Agen I don't like too.”

I started to get to leave but I heard the door locked and the windows security bars fall. Cellestia said. “Well then” She stude up. “Is it true that you see yourself as a monster?” her tone was aggressive and she started to pace around the room. “Is it true you were discriminated against by your own species just because your looks are perfect for a tyrant’s standards? Is it true that your own mother hates you because you were a mistake?” Then she leaned over me. “And is it true that the only people that truly cared and loved you were your grandparents.”

I snapped. “ENOUGH!” I shouted.

I used my magic to grab her horn and forced her head below me. But before I could do anything else I quickly realized what I was doing. I let go of her and back away. “I'm sorry.” I told them in a fearful voice. I looked at Luna and she was shocked.

“I’m sar-” I said before Celestia interrupted.

“It's ok.” she told me.

“What?!”

“It’s ok that you shouted at me. In fact i-. Sam!”

I collapsed and hit my head on the corner of Celestia’s desk. The last thing I saw before passing out was Luna rushing up to help me. As Sam lay unconscious on the floor with blood bleeding from his forehead Luna held him in her hooves.

“Oh no, ho no. Sister, why did thou do that!” Luna yelled.

“Luna, I'm sorry. It's. It's. just tha-” Celestia said before Luna interrupted.

“You hurt him!” She said while her eyes became slit.

Celestia put her hoof on Luna’s chest. “He’s ok, it's just a bleed, no scars, no permanent damage.”

Luna calmed down and her eyes turned normal. She took a deep breath. “Thee is right sister. I’ll go get a healing potion, thou get a bandage.”

“Ok Luna.”

Luna and Celestia looked in the drawer of the desk for first aid. Luna grabbed a healing potion and a rag. Celestia grabbed the alcohol wipes and a patch bandage. Celestia cleaned Sam’s head and put the bandage over his scab. Luna put the healing potion in the rag and put it on top of the bandage. They used magic to put Sam on one of the couches. Celestia went over and rubbed Sam's head but she found something. A lump of boone at the middle of his forehead. But too small to poke out of the furr even. She figured it was just a deformity and left it.

“Luna. Do you want some Lunch?” Celestia asked.

“No Sister were good.” Luna replied.

“Ok I'm going to make hash browns.

“Ok.”

As I gradually woke up. I felt a soft fur on my face and I was covered in a blink of feathers. When I opened my eyes and it was Celestia. “Hay Sam.” she said. I proceeded to get up and lay on the other side of the couch. My meremery was fussy for a few minutes. Until they celery up. I quickly checked my head. It had a bandaid on it. Looked over at Celestia and she seemed to be depressed. She proceeded to take a deep breath.

“I'm sorry Sam.” she told me. “No you're not at fault. It's just that I wanted to help you but my approach was. Well not pleasant. Please forgive me.”

“What?! I should be the one apologizing for having laid a hand on you.” I told her.

“Oh no that's no big deal. I'm an alcorn. All that you did was nothing more than an insect bite.”

“Oh. ok.”

“Hashbrowens are on the table.”

I looked over and saw a sheet with some hash browns and some napkins. “Thank you. How long have I been out?”

“Just a couple of hours. Luna is dream walking right now.”

“Well is it ok to take this bandaid off?”

“Ya it should be we used a healing potion so it should be alright.”

I Proceeded to take the bandage off and throw it across the room into the small trash can. I took one of the hash browns and started eating. It was cold but hey it's alright. Celestia started eating hash browns as well. Bet after a while there was like one left. Celestia looked at me wondering if I would take it. “This one is for Luna.” I said before taking it. I grabbed a napkin and wrapped the hash brown. Before I left the room at the doorway, I looked at Celestia and said.

“I forgive you Celestia but please don't do that again.”

“Yes sir.” She told me.

“I understand the fact you wanted to help but I can tell you one thing.”

“Realy!” Celestia said like an excised kid.

“Well the reason why is why I don't like to talk about it. Is that I got a second chance in life and I don't want my old shackles of my past life hurting anyone. Ok.”

“Yes Sam, I understand.”

“Well good night.”

“Goodnight Sam.”

I walked over to the playroom of the casal. I opened the door and Luna was dream walking. I walked over to her. I put the hash brown on the mugufen table next to her and walked off. I walked to my bedroom and looked at the time. 10:47 the clock said. I fixed my bed, I took off my catalyst and face planted on the bed.
