It was a normal morning at the royal castle. The guards were standing politely beneath me on either side, more guards were stationed outside on both sides of the door, and even more were positioned all throughout the structure.
I was going through some royal paperwork when a flame came through the open window. The flame fluttered down right in front of me and magically turned into a piece of parchment with a seal on the front that pictured a starburst surrounded by five other smaller starbursts, my faithful student, Twilights, cutie mark.
When I saw the mark I thought ‘oh, Twilight must have learned something about friendship.’ when I opened the letter the first thing I noticed was the rushed handwriting, Twilight would never write like this unless she was in a huge hurry.
I then proceeded to read the letter. I read it once, then twice, then a third time. I made sure that what I was reading the right words, it wasn’t exactly neat. After the third read I made sense of them. To my understanding, she wants to know if I had met Dillon the human yet and if she can come and see him in Canterlot. I considered this.
Then I wrote her back saying that she could come and visit, I would even send chariots for her and her friends, and that I was looking forward to seeing her. After I sent this letter I sent for the guard to send six chariots to six different houses. When that was done I continued going through my paperwork.

“Twilight, what did that letter say?” spike asked me after he burnt it.
“It’s none of your concern.” I responded and walked away, Fixinit was now at the door “I'm not done with you yet.” He rushed back downstairs.
When I got back down there he was sitting on the couch with his hooves on his lap. I started pacing in front of him.
“So you knew nothing about this.” He shook his head vigorously “I'm really sorry I dragged you into this.” I sat down next to him.
“It’s fine, this means that Dillon never left you, he just got caught up in out-of-state activities and you lost the note telling you what was going on. It’s not your fault.”
“Thank you for understanding, Fixinit.” We heard a burping noise come from upstairs and a minute later Spike came down holding a letter with a sun stamp emblazoned on it.
I opened the letter, read it, and then handed it to Fixinit to read. He looked a little confused at the letter and looked to me for an explanation. I read the letter to him and explained what was going on.
There was a minute of awkward silence “so… I'm going to see my old boyfriend…”
“I don’t suppose that we could both have you.” he seemed to already know the answer.
“No, I'm sorry, but I guess this means that this is over. Me and you, I mean.”
“Yeah, I guess. At least it didn’t end the way I always thought it would.” I looked at him.
“And what was that?” he looked back at me.
“You dump me because you learned every little detail about me.” He smiled.
“Like that would happen.” We both started laughing.
“Well… we should start getting packed.”
“Yes we should.” Then we went upstairs and started packing things for the upcoming trip.
We never got around to going to Fluttershy’s house. We packed and got ready all day. When we finally finished getting everything set up for the trip we made lunch and ate. After lunch it was 2:30, Fixinit had to leave for work and wouldn’t be back until 8:00. He left and I started back on my most recent studies.
-----
Today Fixinit was waiting at my door with his head down in thought.
“Hello, what’s got your mind so occupied?” I asked.
“Hey Turner, I'm just thinking about tomorrow. Hey, do you mind if I have tomorrow off?”
“Is it to go on a date Twilight?” he looked up at me.
“Not really, I'm going to Canterlot with her.”
“I ask because the last guy that went on a date with her disappeared.”
“You mean Dillon?” I nodded.
“He asked just like you and the next few days he didn’t show up. He hasn’t shown up yet. In fact, I don’t think anypony's seen him since.” I unlocked the door.
“Well Twilight is going to see him in Canterlot.”
“You mean they found him? That’s great! Tell him he’s almost three weeks late for work.” We entered my small shop.
“I’ll be sure to do that.” He assured me.
We worked several hours on different clocks, he even worked over his break just to get tomorrows work done. when 8 rolled around I told him it was closing time, he told me to go, that he would lock up for the night.
“That’s a mistake I won’t make again. Dillon did the same thing the day he disappeared. I feared it might have something to do with it, the shop closes now.” I proceeded to drag him out of the store and lock the door behind me “plus I had to get a new key when he didn’t return the original.”
“Fair enough.” He stated and started to walk away.
“Hey, Fixinit.” I called after him.
“Yeah?” he calls back.
“Promise me you’ll come back.” He starts laughing.
“I promise.” And with that he walked away.
-----
I stayed up until Fixinit came back, last time I fell asleep before Dillon could get home and then he disappeared. Luckily Fixinit didn’t stay for some extra hours and came home on time.
“Honey, I'm home!” he called into the house.
“Fixinit-” I started, he cut me off.
“Sorry, you’re not my honey anymore. I forgot there for a minute.”
“Yeah, it’s ok; we should get ready for dinner.”
“yeah.” then we walked into the kitchen.
Laid out on the table was each of our favorite dishes. Spike had made it just for us.
“Thanks, Spike, we really appreciate this.” I told him.
“You're welcome.” he bowed.
“Give my complements to the chef.” Fixinit said in a sort of fancy way.
“Thank you, kind sir.” He responded in a Prench accent.
“You’re very welcome.” And we all sat down and started to dig in.
I feel bad for not liking this story, but now that has changed. I had a feeling that the 6 stallions could have been Dillon but I wasn't sure. Now it seems like that may be true.
Of course the special occasion isn't that important.
All shall be revealed.
2452509
im writing the chapter where the trueth is revealed, answers awate the patient ones.
2452568

2452632
2452641
i loled so hard at this.
2452632
Like me
2452910
sure, all im gonna do is this:
2420007
i think i already know the answers, but ive been wrong before. so patient i will be.
2452918
I'm just saying that I've been here for a while. You should also notice the change in the comment you just replied to me with.
2453009
how dare you make me look like an idiot?!?! im jsut kidding, good one!
2453002
i think everypony else seems to know what's going to happen too, i told my prereader and he said that he didnt see it comming, he got more right than you guys btw.
2453047
Thank you.
You're prereader magy be more right than me but I have a few more guesses. I refuse to share them though.
2453122
darn i would love to hear each and every one of them so i can tell you that you're wrong, im sure that you wouldnt see this coming from a mile away.
2453205
sure, by the way, you put the wrong quote thing on your last post, spent the last five minutes trying to understand a conversation between two stallions that had realized something about avatar and mares and shit... it was awsome... anyway, im still sure you're wrong, prove me wrong by telling me what you predict. if you get it right i swear by celestias name that i will tell you, ill pinky promise, ill normal promise, ill royal promise, and if i break that last one ill have to solve math. if you get the reference WOO HOOO!! if not oh well, but still share with me and ill tell you the trueth. pwees?
2453245
Fine then, here's a shot out of a cannon.
1.Some type of predicament happened to Dillon and the 6 new ponies are actually not part of him at all and are actually real. I refuse to play the fucking 'guessing game' on said predicament.
2. Some type of crossover reference has occured that has something to do with his disappearance. I have yet to see any form of crossover yet. Or I might have but not recognized.
3. (Worst. Possible. Thing.) Dillon for some god-awful reason talked with Celestian, somehow got into a conversation that primarily involves himself and his love life, and for whatever reason, his personality splitting was thought to be a better solution.
4. It was Dillon's decision to make, regarding his actions that lead towards the current events.
I'll list some more in a bit. I refuse to go into direct detail again.
2453161
We shall see about that. I've developed a great sense of interpretation over the years from watching more cinematics than most Hollywood actors.
P.S.
FIXED
2453326
nope, sorry. i swear on my good name, none of these guesses are even remotely correct.
2453441
No offence, but I'm not putting any effort in these guesses. I'm sorta just pulling them out of my ass. I mean, why try to guess for a twist that you proclaim is so out of reach, that I can't guess it? It would ruin the story if I did get it correct. I'll still keep a few to myself though.
2453655
your choice, btw i just finished the last chapter, i checked it over with my prereader and we ironed a few things out. if i wanted/needed to i could post it right now. if you want i can post two chapters tomorrow and the las chapter the next day.
2453441
Please tell me its not some sort of cliche twist or anything from a television show or movie.
2453667
i have never seen this happen before, i swear, to the best of my memory, this is compleatly and utterly original.
2453673
As original as much as a 14 year old can actually call original? Have you ever watched the original Dr. Who from the 80s?
2453707
... no...
2453720
Well it was not only original but classic. It continues constantly from the beginning to what it is now.
But anyways, how can you honestly say that whatever you have planned is original?
2453760
im sure something similar has been done before, but i can assure you, it was fresh out of my mind, i did not copy off of some cleche movie or TV show.
2453768
Please tell me it doesn't have anything to do with natural universal laws or some type of alternating reality laws. Hate those.
Or anything close to Inception.
You know, you could've typed up a letter referring to what both Twilight and Celestia wrote about. Effectiveness and all.
2453801
no wibly wobly timey wimey or alternat reality or universes... in otherwords the TARDIS is not involved.
2453808
Anything involving dreams?
I can imagine Dillon being able to observe the minds of the other ponies that are believed to be his other personalities.
2453831
no dreams.
2453849
So no Luna or Dinky then? That's 2 down.
2453855
nether is involved.
2453859
Celestia did it, didn't she?
2453884
nope.
2453886
He didn't make it to Canterlot, did he?
Or did he even meet with the princess?
2453893
he made it to canterlot, never met the princess though.
2453899
If that's the case, he either met someone there or someone met him while he was there.
2453917
you could say that.
2453920
This "person/pony" did something to him, I assume. Please no Discord.
2453989
what?
2454073
how so? i have seen some pretty good ones, and who ever said this was a self insert?
