/1 Year and 3 Months and 3 Weeks before Season 1\
It had been 5 days since the whole… "Kissing" event. Kurat was currently chatting with Adam, thinking about what to bring for the Sun Monarch.
"I'm just saying, we should give her some cakes, she seems to like those." Kurat suggested.
[And I believe something like flowers or something else would suffice. Just because in the show the Cutie Mark Crusaders somehow got information that Celestia likes eating cakes, and that most Fanfictions always write about her love of cakes, does not mean that she likes cakes in this world. Wake up Kurat! This is reality, not a dream]
"Yeah, I know. But what else can we base her likes off? I don't think flowers would do, and we need her cooperation for our plan?" Kurat mentioned, reminding both Adam and Himself about the plan.
What is the plan exactly? Well, Kurat would turn into Nightmare Moon, do the whole "evil" thing, use the dust clouds or the Rainbow beam from the Elements of Harmony to switch places with Luna and to reunite her with Celestia, and to make sure the timeline stays intact.
Get it? No? Well check back the previous chapters… ANYWAYS!
…
We transitioned to Kurat at Sugar Cube Corner, buying a box of Cupcakes.
Right now, Pinkie Pie is setting the box down on the counter, "alrighty!" She looked at Kurat with her usual smile, "that'll be 12 Bits!"
Kurat bought a dozen (12 Cupcakes). He left the money on the counter and levitated the cupcakes away, storing them inside his Pocket Dimension.
As he was about to leave, Pinkie Pie stopped him. "Hey Kurat? Why're you leaving? Aren't you gonna eat them here?" She asked, confused.
"Oh!" He turned to face her, "I am heading off to Canterlot to meet somepony. So I'm buying a train snack." He told her.
Pinkie's eye started to strain a bit before smiling, although forced this time.
"Okie Dokie! Safe trip! Have Fun!" Pinkie said to Kurat, still forcing a smile.
Kurat smiled and turned to leave, leaving Pinkie Pie….
'Who is he meeting? Why in Canterlot? Why today?!' Pinkie Pie was both angry and sad and confused…
Uh oh…. Seems like we got a Yandare over here!
…..
We now see Kurat walking to the train station, chatting with Adam via his mind.
[A Train Snack? Really?]
'What? It's sorta true.'
[But why cupcakes? Didn't you say Celestia likes Cakes?]
'Well… Cupcakes are kinda like Cakes, just smaller.'
[….Uh-huh…]
*Sighs*
Kurat continued his walk to the Train Station…
During his walk, he met a few ponies, said hi to some, and even met some familiar faces.
Right now, he was playing with Applebloom, who was having a blast!
"WOOOOHOOOOO!!!" Applebloom shouted in the air, doing tricks and such. Kurat watched with a smile on his face before asking himself, 'hmm, how long would I be in Canterlot for? Would I even know how to find the castle? Would Celestia even know it's me? Should I-' Adam cuts off his train of thought.
[First, we can just get a map of Canterlot when we arrive. Also, we're only going for a chat, nothing more, and yes, she will recognise you if you use key words like "Entity". And no, you will not use your Human form, we talking about this]
'Yeah yeah, I remember our talk.' Kurat slowly lifted Applebloom down until she touched the ground.
Applebloom groaned in annoyance. "Awww! 10 more minutes! Please Kurat, PLEEEAASSEEE!!!!" She begged.
Unfortunately, Kurat was stern, but gentle. "Sorry little one, but I gotta head out. How about… when I get back, we can play some more, sounds good?" Kurat proposed to Applebloom.
"Really?! Ok! See you soon Kurat!" Applebloom said with a large smile before running off. Kurat watched as she ran, the energy one child has… it's impressive.
…..
As Kurat was arriving at the Ponyville Train Station, he looked around, taking in the unfamiliar sight.
"Wow, I've never been here before since I arrived." He trotted to the ticket counter.
'Yup, just like in the show.' He saw the familiar ticket stand, the stallion who sold the tickets, he went up and asked for one ticket to Canterlot.
"Alright, that'll be 5 Bits please." The ticket seller said.
Kurat opened his pocket dimension, spooking the ticket seller before taking out the Bits. After purchasing the train ticket, he closed his Pocket Dimension and walked away, sitting on the nearby bench, waiting for his train to show up…
As he waited, he asked Adam how long it would take.
[Hmm, if a train from here to Canterlot… about an hour, granted there are no train-blocks along the way]
'I see, thanks.' Kurat sat patiently, waiting for his ride until…
"Wait a minute? Kurat? Is that you?" A mysterious Mare said.
Kurat turned his head and smiled, seeing the familiar face.
"Well, if it isn't Derpy Hooves. What can I do for you?" Kurat asked, happy to see her.
"Oh! I just came back from delivering mail to Canterlot." She said, sitting next to Kurat, still in her work uniform.
"I see! And- wait, you flew from here to Canterlot and flew back?" Kurat asked.
"Uhh, yeah? Is that a problem?" Derpy tilted her head slightly to the left, looking confused.
'Dear God, they can't keep getting away with these.' Kurat wanted to force a nose bleed from all the cuteness he experienced.
"No no!" He waved her worries away, "I was just amazed you flew that far. It would be quite the trip, flying from here to Canterlot, THEN BACK!" Safe to say, Kurat was more than impressed.
Derpy blushed at his compliment before stating, "oh please~ It's just my job! Plus," Derpy goes through her bag and pulls out two muffins, "Muffin?" She offers.
"Uh," Kurat immediately nods very quickly like a dog who found his favourite stick, "YEAH!!!!"
*Giggles*
Derpy giggles at Kurat's antics before giving the muffin to him. They both started to eat.
Kurat commented on how delicious the desserts were, which made Derpy blush a bit. They continued to until Derpy brought up "that" topic~
"Umm, Kurat?" Derpy looks to meet his gaze. Kurat turns and sees her adorable face and says, "yeah Derpy?"
"Umm…." She blushes red from the memory, "I-I'm sorry again for what I did a few days ago!" She says a bit quickly.
"Uhhhh, Oh!" Kurat suddenly remembers…. *AHEM!* Adam Reminds Him *AHEM!*
"Well, uhh!" Kurat scratches the back of his head, remembering the event. He blushes a bit of crimson-red, before saying, "I-It's no problem Derpy. Re-really!" Kurat reassuring Derpy, she quickly calms down a bit.
After calming down, Derpy asks, "Well… did you like it?" She said in a very soft voice that would match Fluttershy's.
But for Kurat? He heard what she said and blushed even more. At that moment, Kurat Melenia and Derpy Hooves were blushing so hard, some ponies nearby saw this and laughed a bit, seeing how red they were.
"Uh-well Derpy, I-uhh…. Maybe?" Kurat said that last part in a high pitch.
Derpy smiled a bit more, thinking, 'Should I do it?!?'
But before she could say anything…
*CHOO CHOO!!!*
"All aboard! Train leaving for Canterlot! All aboard!!" The Conductor said.
"Oh!" Kurat quickly changed the subject, "my ride is here." He got up, stuffing the muffin in his mouth and swallowing it, choking a bit before conjuring a small ball of water to drink.
After not choking, he turned to Derpy and said, "well, thanks for the muffins and the chat Derpy." He slowly walked towards the train, "See you later!" He waved goodbye to her.
"Oh! Bye Kurat! Safe travels!" She waved back, seeing him enter the train and watched as his figure left her eyesight as the door closed…
….
*Phew!*
Kurat leaned on the train doors, thanking some divine intervention for this moment. He got up and walked to an empty seat.
Once he sat down, he opened his Pocket Dimension and pulled out his ticket before closing it.
[So? You're not gonna eat those cupcakes?]
Kurat looked around, seeing many ponies, 'nah, I'm quite full from the muffin Derpy gave me.'
[Really? Just one muffin could satisfy your never-ending Stomache?]
Kurat looked offended, mentally. He could not show it as others would think he was weird for being angry at nothing.
'Why yes! I am full, thank you very much!' Kurat leaned back into his seat, before hearing a pony come by.
"Ticket Please?" Asked the Ticket Pony.
Kurat levitated his ticket to him, seeing him stamp his ticket, before leaving. Kurat levitated his ticket back into his Pocket Dimension before closing it.
Kurat got comfortable and asked Adam, 'hey dude? Could you play a song? I like sleeping while listening to music, it helps my imagination.'
(A/N: Yes! When I am on a train or in the car, I would play music to relax, using my imagination to create relaxing scenes or epic anime fights. The Human Brain-Imagination can do wonders with such little info! Plus, creating new voices or using other voices to make the imagination more… real. Basically a movie but for free and in Ultra-4K-HD and in your style. Get it?)
[Sure Kurat]
[Would (Stitches by Shawn Mendes) suffice?]
'Yeah, that'll do.' Kurat slowly closed his eyes, getting ready to listen to music.
[Activating [Unique Skill: Music]]
[Creating Playlist… Successful!]
[Playing first song: (Stitches by Shawn Mendes)]
'Hmm~' Kurat smiled when hearing the first lines of music.
🎶 I thought that I'd been hurt before~
But no one's ever left me quite this sore…
Your words cut deeper than a knife!
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life~ 🎶
'Ahh~ I love this song~' Kurat said to himself before slowly falling asleep…
