not to fly.

Excellent guy, the story is getting complex bit by bit, and it appears that he actually died, but he doesnt know it, well, just a word with celestia to tell luna, and he could prove his case, or sweety bell dreaming about him, luna checks on him by sweetys request, and bam, an alicorn impresed,mor shit scared.

Ensign may or may not be correct. In the story's description, you said he was about to make Lieutenant. In the Navy, the ranking system goes Ensign, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Lieutenant, etc... So he's either Ensign or Lieutenant, JG.

I hope Dia just does nothing or just starts making overt passes at Rainbow Dash to get out of flying lessons. I would love to see how they both respond when he lets filthy thoughts out, like a threesome. I do feel sorry for Dia but Twilight is descending into insanity with her stubborn persistence that Dia is lieing.

He tries to take a nap, but Rainbow ain't havin it tries to grab him only to find out that the thumb claw on those bat wings can cut a bitch.

7572501

Sweet indeed! Thanks for reading!

7572517
Maybe If Rainbow doesn't throw him out a window first, hehe.

7572525
Why thank you good sir, I am hoping to make it just a little complex. Thanks!
And indeed, one word, boom... its all out there.

7572549
Huh... perhaps I should change that, thank you for your help
I was having trouble with that all day.

7572556
Its Dai, not Dia, but thanks man! For the delicious idea He just might, hahahaa.

7572618
So true man... so true.

7572644
Ohhohoo, that sounds funny as hell.

Not fly.

Nice story, and I like this chapter. I just have one real problem, but I may be completely wrong, so feel free to correct me if I am.

I'm pretty sure that soldiers learn that if they can use something to their advantage, they should. Dai's a soldier (or was), and I feel like if he'd gotten wings, he would want to figure out how to use them in case of some emergency.

But maybe I'm wrong; maybe they don't learn that (I know next to nothing about the military), and if it's like that and not wanting to learn to fly is just part of Dai's character, then it's fine.

Just my two cents; I like this story anyway.

7572741 Maybe he has a fear of flying?

Also, he's not a soldier, he's a Navy SEAL. Soldiers are Army infantry. Sorry, I'm a military fanatic, little details like that mess with me.

7572722
Perhaps

7572741
Why thank you kindly MotM for your words.

Well, that is true actually, at least... as far as I know. I don't know much about the military except what I've learned from Wikipedia and various military games (Yeah, I use CoD logic half the time so sue me) But rhey do take advantage of some things. I have a reason for Dai's displeasure at learning how to fly, and it'll come in the next chapter.

When that is, I have no idea.

But thank you for your comment!

Why doesn't this story have a human tag?

7572795
Huh... mmm... probably because it focuses more on ponies then humans? Yes there are a few scenes with humans in them, and the story focuses on a human turned pony... but they'll be few and far apart. So I guess... that's the reason?

Still think he should learn how to fly, better to know something and not need it then need it and not know it. Theirs a lots of advantages, in knowing how to fly.

7572856
That's very true, very true indeed.

Sir 7572789 a-boy might have the right idea

You know, it just seems really racist of Twi to not accept that Dai's name really isn't a traditional Pony name. I mean, if he really wasn't a human turned pony, maybe he was adopted and his parents were Griffons or something? In that context, it'd be really insulting to his missing parents to depreciate his name simply because it's different. Not to mention, after FOUR YEARS of him insisting on what his name is, you'd think even Twilight could TAKE A HINT!

7573206
Well you know how some ponies are, remember Zecora? Granted, Twilight and them are trying not to be so...racist about some things, but it still slips by them. And on the subject of taing a hint, Twilight is as stubborn as a mule and refuses to give in, and seeing how he is a pony she's going to assume otherwise. That, and she's not even considering the posssibility his parents might be adoptive ones.

7573263
Maybe Dai needs to get her almost eaten by a hydra again. That's what made her stop trying to figure out Pinkie...

7572677

Stupid auto correct.

7573389

Oh geesus, lee would have a fit if he saw one of those... again, I think... eheh.

7573449
It gets us all friend, it gets us all

Is gliding accountable

7572677

If Rainbow doesn't throw him out a window first, hehe.

Nah, you just gotta fall gracelessly to the ground. And then, guilt trip the fuck outta the both of them for like the next two years.

Huh so is anyone going to find or rather walk in on Dai's and Sweetie's fun special time in the near future? Or is Sweetie going to a nightmare about Dai dumping her that gets Luna's attention? Come to think of it why hasn't Luna showed up in Dai's dreams yet or is she keeping quiet for now?

Okay so any name that isn't a ponies name is silly and stupid to ponies right then. Also I hate how these ponies won't take 'no' for an answer. I like the chapter but seriously can these ponies stop acting like freshly lobotomized people and actually think for a second before doing something stupid? Please?
Keep up the good work for these chapters and not the headache inducing stupidity of the ponies.

7574114 Allot of people don't take children seriously the ponies appear to be in that group, did you forget that possibility?

7574358 I thought of that yes, but this has gone from a ponies thinking he's a child and wanting to help him, to literally forcing themselves on him even if he's a child.

I like the story so far, but Twilight being OCD again with searching his parents, forcing him to change a name, now fly and ect is getting really unnerving.
I mean i will keep reading this as long as you update but if Dai doesn't do something soon and atleast try to get an audience with Celestia or Luna since once again ''Twilight knows best'' (which irks me so badly) I will probably stop reading this as this right now shows that shes a control freak and he has no rights whatsoever since hes a foal.

I will atleast settle with a rough tongue lashing and some hurt to get the message across if she goes against his wishes which she eventually will.
Maybe even try and settle for going to an orphanage (extreme case) if she does something really bad or search for other options to leave and live somewhere else.

Heck i could easily see Dai being ''mare''handled by rainbow or even twilight and to spite them he purposely wouldn't open his wings, cuz after all what he has to lose? He died already once and he was reincarnated into a colorful horse thing.

That could be the shock and eye opener for Twilight and Rainbow to see hes not fooling around anymore

The name of chapter make me thought he will meet Scootaloo. My guess is wrong....

ehh teach him to fly but make it at his terms. I cant see a soldier that prides himself in being a navy seal one of the most elite fighting forces saying no to a possibly edge to have in combat.

Well, this is gonna be good. I say take some of the other commenters' advice and have him fuck with her.

7572789 Actually, soldiers are any ground based fighting force, so he is a soldier.

7575013 Really? I remember reading in a military handbook that soldiers - in the U.S. military anyway - mostly refer to the Army troops. You don't call a Marine a soldier, you call him a Marine. You don't call a SEAL a soldier, he's a SEAL (or a Squid, if you want to wake up in the hospital).

7575017 That's only true within the armed forces. If you were in the Army, Navy, Marines, etc, you would call Marines Marines, SEALs, SEALs, and Army soldiers, but By definition, and as far as the common civilian is concerned, they are all soldiers.

Also, Squid is just something they call Navy, like Marines are Jar Heads, Army are Pack Rats, Coast Guard are Puddle Pirates and Air Force are Golfers.

7575047 Well, it appears I've been out-knowledged. Hats off to you, sir!

But wait, airmen are called Golfers? Seriously? They fly planes and helicopters and blow shit up for a living and they're called Golfers? Who came up with that one? Unless it's a Camp Golf thing, then I can understand.

7575071 It's an in joke. We like to tease them, as they don't do as much as they use to. We joke about how they spend more time on the golf course than the air.

7575114 This is why I need to enlist, so I actually know shit like that and not look like an idiot.

7575119 That's an... interesting reason to enlist

7575142 More like just one more to add on to my ever-growing list of reasons. Hell, I almost did back in July. Then I got hired at a factory. Army was my final straw, fallback plan. I'm still considering it now, though.

7575152 I was Navy, myself, Machinist's Mate 1st class, Nuclear field. I loved it, and got to see the world (at least the world around the Pacific ocean). I would still be in it if I didn't bust my knee.

7575182 That sucks, man. But either way, thank you for your service.

7575189 Nah, I was literally in the safest place in the US military, on a carrier surrounded by the most advanced war ships in the world. If you want to thank someone, thank the guys neck deep in the shit, getting shot at every day. They're the ones that really deserve it.

Holy fuck at the comments Thank you guys lots!

7573813
Gilding accountable? I doth not understand.

7573827

Hehehe, that would be funny to see, hahahaa.

7573904
Rarity actually walked in on them in the second chapter, they just got extremely lucky.
As for Luna, I think I explained it to someone else in the comments why she hasn't shown up... that or it was a PM.
Luna hasn't shown up because, Dai's dreams, while being different from the norm, she hasn't run up on him as of yet as she's dealing with thousands, if not millions of other dreams across the Dreamscape. She'll run up on him eventually... I promise ya, but not yet though.

7574114
Well, like I said, they think he's just a runaway foal with a very active imagination, hence the name and his story of being a Navy Seal. That, and what 7574358 this chap said. hehe. I shall keep on.

7574435
I do apologize for the unnerving of this entire situation, and I'll understand if you stop reading because of it. But Twilight honestly thinks, like I said above, that he's a runaway with an active imagination. And as stupid as it may sound, (Even I think its dumb because I'm pretty sure this is something Twilight would do) Twilight is taking care of him and trying to find his parents, so she can prove herself further to Princess Celestia.

Dai will do something alright, but it won't be for a little bit...

Also, on a side note, I think i fucked up the Canon timeline, did the CMC have their marks after Starlight became friends with everyone?

7574676
Wow, didn't expect to see you reading one of my stories! But sorry, hahah. He already knows Scoots, but I'm sure I can come up with something with her and Dai hohoho.

7574775
He has his reasons for not wanting to fly, and I shall make it evident next chapter

7575189
7575219
Read ya'lls comments, and huh... didn't know you were in the Navy, Shirotora, I approve. Regardless of you being in the safe place, thanks for your service. I actually met a soldier from Desert Storm at my local store, he's actually my neighbor, hehe.

Anyway, thank you all for the comments and concerns and whatnot! I shall try to update as soon as I can.

7574398 How are the ponies (I assume you mean all of them) forcing themselves on Dai?

7575343 Every time he asks them to stop they ignore him, every time that he says 'no' to doing something that they want him to do get's immediately turned into a 'oh come on Dai, it'll be fun' and then he'll keep saying no but they'll keep telling him to do whatever the hell they wanted and a bunch of other stuff.
7575286 Yeah I know...sorry for the gripes that will be repeated.

7575749
Its fine, I get that way to with stories I read, hehee.

7575286 like he runs not exactly fly away but letting his wings cache some air

7575834 Yeah a lot of people will point it out but just...keep doing what your doing cause your good at it

7575869
OOooo, GLIDING... I read your comment wrong

7575885
Yeah I know, some people will find this entire thing unnerving, but I shall carry on!

Thank you all for reading this, and I hope you stay tuned!

7575903 I will stay tuned, and keep on trucking my friend.

7575286

Well, I thought it going to be a chapter that Dai meet Scootaloo who some how get sad because she believe she can't fly and Dai do something to cheer her up. Something that make her feel like she fly in the heaven. XP

7576413

OOooooooh... I getcha~ haha, I totally get what ya mean...
You just gave me a fluffy chappie idea
