Chapter 30
More than Friendship
Ponyville
Onyx was being flown in a carriage by two royal guard pegasi. Normally, he didn’t like the guards or maids doing things for him, but the feeling of being carried through the sky made Onyx feel like he was flying. If he could been a pony, Onyx would’ve wanted to be a unicorn so he could practice magic, but that didn’t mean he didn’t enjoy or appreciate the sensation of freedom from everything that flight brought him. The wind in his mane and the crisp air of the countryside made him feel alive; it was far better than ruling a kingdom and the duties that came with it.
The guards arrived at the main road just outside of Ponyville; Onyx didn’t want a royal welcome. From where he was he could see Ponyville without being seen so he took the opportunity to take a look at how the things worked here. It was the first time that he visited the small village and the first thing he found interesting was how the ponies dressed much differently than ponies in Canterlot. Usually, when Onyx was outside of the castle in Canterlot, everypony wore clothes flaunting how rich they were. Onyx once thought that everypony in Canterlot was a long-lost relative of his cousin, Blueblood.
Twillight was in her room, trying on the new dress that Rarity made for her. She knew that Onyx loved Philomena, Celestia’s pet phoenix, and that his favorite color was black; she had her dress designed a full black with orange and red flames near the borders, When she was satisfied with how it looked, she laid the dress back on her bed and went down to the kitchen to prepare the meal she and Onyx would be having.
She bought some wine at the market yesterday; it wasn’t as expensive as the wine from Canterlot, but she was sure that Onyx would like it. Then she have prepared a salad, some daisy sandwiches, and for the dessert, well, she didn’t make anything. If all went well with her plan for the night, she would be the dessert. She lightly blushed at the thought of them in her bed, but she quickly tossed the dirty thoughts away. She had more important things to think about: how would her friends react in his presence, would Spike keep his promise to be friendly with Onyx, and most importantly, did he love her?
Before she could continue asking herself questions, somepony knocked at the library’s door.
“I’ve got it!” said Spike as he opened the door.
Onyx was waiting in front of the library; on his way, some of the ponies bowed to him, but he explained to them that he didn’t want any royal treatment. He met a few fillies and colts who were scared of him, but after talking to them, he gave them some bits for ice cream. Afterwards they weren’t scared by him; a lanky mare even tried to invite him into her house to taste a new dinner recipe, but he politely refused the invitation, even if she asked him more than once. It was kinda odd in a certain way because she had never met him before; why had she insisted that much...?
Fortunately for him, the library was really easy to find. After all, it’s not everyday that you see a whole library in a giant tree like that.
After knocking on the door, somepony … er dragon answered him. “Hi, welcome to the … oh, it’s just you; you can come in,” said the purple dragon.
“Yes, I’m so happy to see you again, Spike,” answered Onyx sarcastically; he knew that Spike hated him. If the drake wasn’t Twilight’s “little brother”, he would’ve found a way to send him back to dragon country and never return to Equestria.
“Twilight! Your friend is here!”
Onyx could hear the noise of somepony running down the stairs, and not long after, Twilight was in front of him, tears of joy forming in her eyes.
“ONYX!” she shouted, jumping on him and hugging him as if he were going to disappear. Spike who was behind the two, faked throwing up and returned upstairs to do whatever he wanted, free of diabetes.
“I’ve missed you so much Onyx,” said Twilight before beginning a little dance in front of Onyx.
“Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awa—”
“Haha Twi, I’m not Cadance, and I don’t think I could do that dance you two created for anything in the world,” laughed Onyx.
“Awww, but you’re her cousin; can’t we have a special welcome or something like that?” asked Twilight.
“Well, maybe later we could both create our own special hoofshake... So how’s life in Ponyville? Do you miss Canterlot or your brother?” asked Onyx, taking a seat next to a stack of books in the corner.
“Well, for now, everything’s going fine. My new friends are all kind and friendly; I’ll have to introduce you to them—” Twillight was interrupted by a blue pegasus who flew into the house as if they had a manticore on their tail.
“Twilight! Are you okay? I thought I saw a tall, black monster outside of your house!” yelled the blue pegasus to their purple friend. Onyx stayed calm and seated, deciding to ignore the insult.
“Well, I don’t think you and I have the same definition of the word “monster”,” deadpanned the Prince to Rainbow Dash, who was trying to carry Twilight out of her house.
“I’m not talking about you; I was watching you since you got here from my cloud.”
“YOU WERE SPYING ON HIM!” interrupted Twillight, using her magic to silence Rainbow Dash.
“Well, yeah ... kinda. I wanted to see who this new coltfriend of yours was. No wonder you wanted to keep it a secret; sharing a bed with the prince of Canterlot. Who would’ve known that our little Twilight would have the guts to be a player.” Both Onyx and Twilight blushed heavily.
“You told him?” Onyx asked Twilight.
“HEY! Who’re you calling a him; I’m a mare y’know! If you weren’t the prince of Equestria I swear I would’ve just beat the hell out of you in ten seconds flat!”
Chrysalis watched what was happening inside through a window; she was hiding in a bush, taking in all the information she could get on the creature. Unfortunately that blue pegasus saw her approach the house, but for now, it looked like she forgot about her. Chysalis’s plan to get the Prince to take that potion failed. Over the last two years, the prince had changed; she would never forget that night when she met him for the first time. Her daughter, Fillia, didn’t know about it, but Chrysalis heard the entire heartwarming conversation between her and Onyx in the Gryphon King’s dungeon; it would be a shame to destroy such a powerful potential-ally, but for her plan to work, she would need to get him alone.
A deserted island in the middle of the ocean
“Sister, doesn’t thou think we should go back home. We are certain that Onyx misses you,” said Luna to her sister.
“Don’t worry about it Lulu. It’s only been four days; Onyx is a big stallion now and he can take care of himself … now stop trying to distract me. We’re here to have fun.”
“I don’t know how a suicidal activity like this could be—”
Celestia and Luna were on the verge of a giant rock on the edge of the island, and before Luna could react, Celestia grabbed Luna and jumped into the water. Both of them screamed like little fillies before they hit the surface of the ocean.

I cant wait to see how Rarity reacts to Onyx. I beat she tries to get him to like her more then he does twilight.
2342875
I see two Lyras in that picture...
I'm not even going to say it, this image shall express my current feels.

2342886
Oh I really am hoping that happen, and that the thing Twilight has for him is just simple puppy loved, seriously Rarity will make a much better match to be his fillyfriend
2342963 what? no! Onyx needs to be with twilight. they are the perfect match. I just think it would be funny if for a little bit to have them both fight over him covertly of course and when there fighting they would stop chrysalis from getting to onyx but they wouldnt know that they were protecting him.
2342978
I don't see how there fighting will protect him from Chrysalis, as a matter of fact, it could make him more vulnerable.
But well, you want him to be with Twilight, I want him to be with Rarity, we will have to wait to see how it will play, perhaps Silver will use the herd idea and he will be with both or that royalty can have more than one mare, I don't know, we would had to wait and see what happen.

May the best follower win
2343010 well if you have seen lion king 1 1/2 you find out tamon and pumba caused all the stuff that happened when simba and NOLLA were together but also hurting themselves in the process so what I was thinking that maybe like when Onyx is with twilight or rarity doesnt matter which the other one could like through a rock at a bee hive but instead of the bees attacking them they would go after the thrower of the rock and maybe the bee hive cold of landed on chrysalis horn and she would run off, and other situations like that could happen.
Can't wait for the next chapter, seems like the pieces have begun to move.
2343088
I think it doesn't work that way, Timon and Pumba where OFF panel, Twilight and Rarity will be the scene itself, Onyx will see the rock hitting the hive, the hive attaching to something the screaming…he cares for his subject as much of Celestia, he would get worried
2343138 not in loin king 1 1/2 it shows how the romantic events happened. and simba is a lion he should of easily heard tamon and pumba screaming but he didnt so its completely possible that onyx wouldnt hear her either.
2343166
Again, Simba was pretty much distracted with love, here he is not googly any of them he is concern for what they are doing and the scene they are making, that kind of thing don't shut you from the world, it makes you more aware of it
(her dress designed a full black with orange and red flames near the borders) i would love to see that pic of twilight in that dress of someone can draw that i would be happy and i see babs seed to the right of bon bon
2342978
I actually have to agree with you on that. To me, it would make more sense for Twilight to be with Onyx. Primarily because of the significance of their previeus relationship and history. Not attempting to follow up on that would make everything before now pointless if he ended up with someone else. I also say, "Make things a little challenging," so that the two of them ending up together doesn't seem too easy. Sorta like making Onyx truly want what the heart wants.
23427 if this is order of favorite character then
Nightmare
Discord
Chrysalis
Luna
DJ PON3
My all time favorite villain is Chrysalis. Discord just has cool powers that I wish I had, but Chrysalis is super cuddly while looking fierce at the same time. I would also want to have a conversation about random things with her if I had the chance.
Luna and Celestia diving?! Sweet Celestia, my sides, they are dying!
How is ir syicidal if they both have wing?
Annnnnnd, here we go.
