Birds were twitting around them, people were talking in the woods, and the sound of Rarity talking about the Fashion Show. Inside the aquamarine tent, however, was different. Charming Thunder was unpacking his things, making sure to hide his armor and helmet from sight. Not only that but he made sure to hide his lightsaber. That is when he heard the entrance move and looked, seeing Danny walking into the tent. When he came in, Danny began to put his bag down and began to unpack. Charming Thunder began to watch and stare as Danny pulled out pictures. The first picture shows a man, a woman, and a teenage boy who was Danny but wasn't a cyborg. The man wore a grey business suit, green eyes, black hair with some grey streaks in them, black pants with fancy black shoes. The man had a smile on his face as he held the full flesh Danny with one of his arms. The woman looked like the man, but it was a female version who had a grey dress, black pants and shoes, as well as had a silver crown on her head that had some green gems. She had a smile and had a arm wrapped around Danny and had a smile on her face of joy. The second picture of Danny that was still flesh and he was with his entire doppelganger crew, but there were a few that Charming Thunder didn't recognized. Like the black and orange dog that with Brutalight and the gothic version of Brutalight. The dog looked like the Doppelganger of Spike. The Brutalight lookalike had grey skin, some purple makeup around her eyes, black hair, and had an electric guitar on her back. There was also doppelgangers of Lightning Dust and Doctor Whooves. The picture looked like they were a great group. "You know, my friends and family are like family to me," Danny said, not even turning to Charming Thunder. "You know how that feels like, don't you?" Charming Thunder turned to look away, blushed in embarrassment for being caught like that and Danny wasn't even looking.
"Well," Charming Thunder replied. "Yeah, I feel it. I love Twilight and I care for Sunset and the girls."
"Do they feel like people you want to protect? Like they were your family?"
"Yes."
"Then be there for them, supporting them." Danny finally finished unpacking and turned to face Charming Thunder. He noticed that Danny's cybernetic eye was not there and suddenly, it came down from the top of the eye and went to look at him. "Especially Twilight, she looks depressed for some reason."
"Was that normal for you? The cybernetic eye appearing from top of the eye?"
"Nope. My cybernetic eye can see everywhere, and with it, I saw you staring."
"Whoa..."
"I recommend being with Twilight more often, she looks like she needs you more than ever." Danny began to walk away and stopped at the entrance. "If you need me, I'll be at the docks. My eye spies a lot of heat signatures converging over there." Charming Thunder followed Danny out of the tent. He decided to look into Danny using the force. When he did, he saw nothing but a black wall in Danny's head. He frowned at this discovery. It was obvious that he was being blocked.
"Danny, what happened to your brain when...this happened to you?" Danny had a sad look and looked at his hands.
"When I became this... my father, Mephiles, funded the government to give me enhanced metal and made me become half cyborg. My entire brain is connected to all sorts of chips, making my brainwaves undetectable and sort of shielded from telepathic people. Why do you ask?"
"Its' nothing. I was wondering with the whole cybernetic eye and all of that."
"Alright, next time, I'll tell you how I got my scars." Danny began to walk ahead and Charming Thunder sighed out in relief.

At the docks, Charming Thunder sat next to Fluttershy as she fed the ducks. "Aren't they the cutest?" Fluttershy said. Charming Thunder nodded as Twilight passed by. The wood on the dock cracked and made Twilight trip, but was caught by Timber.
"I know I'm charming, but you don't have to fall for me," Timber said. Charming Thunder chuckled as he got the joke. He then got up and checked on Twilight.
"You alright?" Charming Thunder said.
"Yeah," Twilight said. "I'm fine thanks to Timber here."
Luna and Celestia checked where Twilight walked and Luna said, "This is a safety hazard. I suggest we close down the dock for the remainder of the camp." The students complained to the fact that the dock will not be used.
"Oh, I'm sure it won't have to be for the remainder of camp," Gloriosa said. "Just needs to be patched up a bit. I've got this!" This gave Applejack a brilliant idea.
"Or maybe we do!" Applejack said. "If you ask me, this whole dock needs to go. Building a new one could be our camp gift. Sure, it would benefit us, but a nice new dock would benefit future campers, too." The students cheered as Charming Thunder nodded.
"I don't know," Timber said. "It's an awful lot of work. I wouldn't want you guys to miss out on doing other fun camp stuff because you're so busy building a dock for future campers."
"Nonsense," Charming Thunder said.
"I hear what you're saying, Timber, but we're Canterlot Wondercolts," Rainbow reassured. "We've got a reputation to uphold! And there was no way we're gonna leave this place without contributing the most awesome camp gift ever! I'm with AJ. Building a new dock is definitely it! What do you guys think?" The students cheered again as an agreement. Charming Thunder then began to sense tension between Timber and Gloriosa just like during the introductions. This is going to be a long first day of camp.
