Lilia

Charming shook his head at Applejack's question, grateful for his dark pelt to hide the blush rising.

"No, I...I've never done something like this...and I've n...never k....kissed anypony...." He stammered, wishing he would stop soon.

When the princess addressed him, he nodded his head and bowed. He was grateful to be acknowledged, even if in a brief meeting. He couldn't speak as she left, the brief chance to speak with their noble ruler over.

Charming blinked in surprise when he made it to the front of the line. He had tried numerous times to talk himself out of this endeavor, but his mother's request hung over him in an almost perceptible black cloud. He didn't want to dissapoint her, and he certainly didn't like the idea of her going without her favorite snack. He hesitated at the stand, calculating how much he'd need.

"I....I'd like two bushels, please....an assortment will be fine...." he stammered, once again mentally muzzlehoofing in embarassment. Why didn't he just speak plainly around ponies? He highly doubted anypony would tease him as a serious attempt at his self-esteem with two princesses in line.

Charming swallowed nervously. He could see the front of the line now, his mind racing while the Princess spoke with the mare before her. Wait...Princess?!? The unicorn stallion gulped in nervous excitement. He had never been so close to one of Equestria's rulers before! He was about to approach when he noticed the little filly directly ahead of him. He smiled at her, kindness shining in his eyes. She had been brave to speak to Celestia in greeting. He steeled his nerves, forcing himself to not hide within his mane.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. It is an honor to finally meet the great Princess herself...I am Charming Masquerade....and...Thank you, for allowing all ponies to follow their passions..." He said, his courage wavering as his finished speaking. He muzzlehoofed in embarrassment. Why had he thanked her for allowing ponies to follow their hearts? He couldn't thank her for raising the sun which brought life to the herbs and berries he used in his potions or done something more...befitting his name? It was no small wonder that he had such trouble with being social when his brain so obviously switched off when his courage to speak fled. Some Potions Maker he was!

I can give you a ponified version of my Zodiac duo, Sagittarius and Archer. Sagittarius--Sage, for short,--was Human and Archer her Dragon companion/pact mate/best friend/etc. Usually they play off of each other well, so there's that...and watching Archer react to a dragon from this realm would make for some funny stuff...

You have to take the story around Luna to the Admins, see what they say.

Charming Masquerade only just arrived via train from Trottingham, his black and white mane trimmed shorter than he was quite comfortable with. He sighed, knowing why he had done such a drastic change...he kept getting his mane into his potions and he was tired of washing it clean of the various things after the latest growth potion caused a bunch of flowers to bloom from where it had gotten dipped. He saw a line outside of the Apple farm, only vaguely aware of the landmark in Ponyville. The sign above the entrance caught his eye and he groaned.

"What in the hay are Apple Kisses? Ah, well...I need apples for my next potion, might as well see what all this is about!" He muttered, checking his saddle bags for the bits that he would need.

Will we finally hear Big Mac sing? Ooh! And of course, the return of NMM! I'm just so giddy with excitement! I can't wait!

It would be interesting to see how Blueblood would interact with Sandy, especially since she's so mellow when not on the beach...

[PONY]

Sandy Shores // Earth Pony // Female // Young Mare // Sandy Shores

//All topics locked...

I've got Cherry and Lilia both living in Canterlot...It's time to dust off the wings of my dear Detective and use her! If you'll welcome Cherry, that is?

Ooh...can Charming Masquerade show? He'd be up for something like that!

Prince Big Mac makes me giggle, he could rule over the area of crops and harvest. He would, of course, have to either do some ridiculously difficult task for one of the Princesses or save one of the Mane Six and be seen by said Princesses. Not a pre-arranged setting, but completely coincidental.

9/10: GUITAR RIFF!

6/10: Great video, doesn't match the song well...love the costumes though.

You never said male or female, so I made both. Pony done with General Zoi's Pony maker v3, bow and feather done by me.

Dusk nodded, shaking off the idea that he could stay with her. It was a nice idea, but she didn't need rumors to spread that she was entertaining stallions. She felt a pang of nostalgia when he mentioned finding food, something she could relate to quite well.

"I was the same. As a filly, it was so much fun to be wandering Equestria, looking for the place where I felt I belonged. If it wasn't for my last friend getting really sick close to here, we never would have stopped. I'd have missed Ponyville, and probably the chance to show my skills as a writer off. But somedays...I do miss the sights and smells from the forests and lakes..." She said softly, not yet catching on that her trust might be misplaced.

Cherry smiled at Treble, nodding.

"So far, yeah...I'm sorry I'm late. Lilia said she wanted to come but had a really finicky client who kept changing how her wedding was gonna be and Mom said she'd send some fresh Apple Bread to make up for not being here today. Apparently, she has herself a stallion sniffing around...I'm not too sure how I feel about that. How are you, Treble?" She explained, placing her packages down before embracing the mare. She had missed Bass' sister and her friend Midsy, and felt awful about not coming to town more often.

Cherry cursed herself as she flew to Fillydelphia. She had overslept! Treble had gone to great lengths to invite her and Lilia to Bass' birthday party and she, for one, wasn't going to miss out on some fun. She sighed. While she loved her twin sister, it took a lot to pull her from her job. She knew she wasn't going to come and had asked Cherry to bring a gift from her on top of the gift she had already gotten for Bass. She spied the location to land and did her best not to crash as she braked hard in the air. The thud, however, she didn't anticipate.

"Well, that...hurt. Gifts...gifts...Ok, they're safe. I just hope I'm not too terribly late!" She muttered, making sure that her cargo was still secure before knocking on the door. Lilia's gift to Bass was something only Lilia would give...a free anytime pass to see her foalhood album with her mother. Cherry was a bit more practical and found an antique microphone that she was sure Bass would love. She sighed and switched the labels on the gifts one last time, making sure that Lilia got credit for being the thoughtful marefriend she was.

Dusk nodded, accepting Honey's explaination. She'd been there, travelling Equestria as a filly. She only found home when her friend fell ill.

"I guess it's a good thing to not remember. But it's not so good to not have a home now. Wandering...Honey, do you like to wander Equestria?" She asked, tipping her head slightly to the right in speculation. She couldn't fault him if he wanted to wander, not one bit.

Dusk beamed with delight, glad to have stayed over a little longer than usual to help. Honey's response about not being from Cloudsdale made her pause.

"Where are you from, Honey? You sound like you miss it a lot..." She asked, a pang of sadness touching her. Nopony should be away from their home for so long they got homesick.

Could you do a pic of my twins, Lilia and Cherry Bloom? Lilia's pic is my profile one, Cherry is a Pegasus with a braided mane and tail..her cutie mark is a hand lens (magnifying glass), Lilia's is three lillies.

Song: 10/10 Again, A7X.

Video: 10/10 They sound as good live as recorded...lucky!

I can't find any live of this band, but this is from their official VEVO.

Dusk took the package and turned away for a moment, wishing for the millionth time that she were a Unicorn instead of a humble Earth Pony. She placed the package on the step and unlocked the door, making sure to place the package in it's proper location so her boss would find it when he decided to come down from his art room. She quickly relocked the Shoppe, returning to Honey Smiles as fast as she could without seeming desperate.

"Oh, it's because you're a Pegasus. Most Pegasi are from Cloudsdale, so it's always good to have a guide when you need one. Is this your first time away from home? You can call me Dusk...every one else does." She explained, throwing her question in in an attempt to find out if the pegasus needed a new friend.

Music: 10/10 A7X, can't go wrong imo.

Video: 9/10 I wish it were in color...

Dusk smiled at the new pegasus before her, her eyes darting over the package in question to read the label.

"Well, seeing as it is the Greeting Card Shoppe address, I'd say it belongs...right behind us. I'm sure this is what Mister Marke has been waiting on for the last week...I'm Dusk Flower, apprentice to the great Hall Marke. I can take that off your hooves for you!" She said cheerfully, bowing her head slightly in greeting before lifting it up again. She tried to shake the uncertain feeling and got an idea.

"If you let me put that inside, I'll lock up the Shoppe and...well, maybe I could accompany you to wherever you need to go next? Ponyville can be pretty big." She offered, hoping he would take her up on it.

((It's ok. I apologize for my delay!))
