Alex’s Diary

Day xxx

I’m so relieved we were able to defeat Tirek. I have to admit that when he stole all of the Princesses and Twilight’s magic, I really doubted there was a way to save the day; but in the end everything turned out alright. It’s pretty interesting how the girls were able to summon their element magic without their jewels. So many questions to be answered, but I’m pretty sure Twilight won't waste any time trying to figure that out.

After the victory celebration, Fluttershy and I took a moment to go to her cottage. We started kissing as soon as we sat on her couch, it was really wonderful, we talked all night long about the things we did while we were apart. It was painful to know about all the times she spent next to the EverFree Forest waiting for my return. I have no problems admitting I felt like a piece of crap. Sometimes I wonder if I deserve having someone as good as her by my side. She always seems to notice when I’m thinking about this and tells me to not feel bad; that I am the only one for her. . . I am a man, but she made me cry like a child when I heard her say this.

Even though Rarity looked sad, she agreed to let me move into Fluttershy’s cottage. It was something we talked about for days and we finally decided it was time to take our relation to a new level, we decided to live together. It was a little harder to convince Sweetie Belle, but after promising to be her babysitter when she had a sleepover with her friends, she agreed with no problems.

Today was a tough day, I was summoned to Canterlot with my friends. The Princesses wanted to reveal my return there; of course I had my doubts, everypony knows the kind of assholes many nobles in Canterlot can be. I visited Proud Hammer’s grave and paid my respects, I thanked him for what he did and promised to honor the change he gave me to continue living. After that, we visited the castle where Luna had a little surprise for me, when we reached the throne room, Luna and her sister revealed a stained glass with images of me and Proud Hammer defeating Bright Courage. When it was time for the conference to take place, just like the first time, a big scenario was built and after a nice and motivating speech from Celestia about friendship and forgiveness, my dear friend Luna introduced me to the ponies. Of course a lot of ponies were booing at me, but many others were also supporting me, like Fancy Pants and his wife, PixelBerry, Joe and many others.

Of course there were nobles telling the princesses that I had to be exiled, to be put in a dungeon, that I was a huge threat, a murderer, etc. It was very difficult to stop Rainbow Dash and Applejack from beating them to a pulp, even my marefriend looked ready to fight but I managed to calm her. Celestia and Luna; using their Canterlot Royal voice, made sure to silence them all, stating that if they or anypony dared to say something like that again, they would end up being exiled instead. After that, Luna gave me a document that released me from any charges pressed against me for the things that happened in the Tournament. I must admit watching those nobles get what they deserved was amazing but this document was beyond incredible.

Today was a really fun day, after many requests from Luna, we finally set all the equipments and a video gaming console in her bedroom. After that, I showed her all the games I brought with me, she loved every one of them. We spent the whole day playing Call of Duty. When we were done playing, I saw her eyes, and I immediately knew it. . . a new gamer was born, probably it would not be a good idea to tell her about online gaming yet.

Ok, I will not get into many details but it was no secret she literally had no experience in it, same as me. So neither of us were willing to take the first step, but what happened tonight, well. It happened, Fluttershy and I were kissing passionately before going to bed like we always do, then I saw her face; those beautiful blue eyes staring at me and then giving me one of the most beautiful smiles ever. Right there, I knew we were both ready. I lost no time putting on my Meta Pendant and did what we wanted to do since a long time ago.

Fluttershy and I finally became one this night! BEST NIGHT EVER!

Day xxx

These past days were awesome, since the first time Fluttershy and I sealed our love, we have never felt so close to each other. We’ve been hanging around a lot, helping her taking care of her animals or having dates regularly. I finally realized that true happiness does exist. Only one thing caught my attention, during one of our dates in Canterlot, while we were walking, Fluttershy stopped regularly to take a look at stores selling baby things, it is almost like she wanted to. . . Nah! It can’t be.

Now I’m sure, I really hoped it was not the case though. I overheard Fluttershy talking with Rainbow Dash about what she would do if she was a mother, I couldn’t believe it,! Fluttershy wanted to start a family! I was angry at myself, I should have felt happy about that; my marefriend loved me and wanted to have foals with me. But I just wasn’t happy about that. Even though I said that the reactions from Canterlot’s inhabitants didn’t have any effect on me, the truth is that they do. I’m afraid, afraid for my marefriend and my friends. I was grateful about how all of them supported me through all of this, but I knew it would bring problems to them as it happened to my sister Rarity. Even though her fashion business is going smoothly, I noticed how her customers list from Canterlot decreased a lot. Pinkie Pie also stopped going there for party requests, I even received a couple of letters demanding from me to leave Equestria immediately. Thanks to Luna and her night guards, we found who the culprit was and we felt a lot safer.

Before talking to Fluttershy about having a family, I asked Twilight to run some tests on me just to know if it was possible for us to have foals. While in my pony form, we visited a doctor what happened to be a good friend of her. much to my surprise, he didn’t find anything wrong with me and according to him it was possible for us to have a family!

Keeping my promise, Fluttershy and I talked about starting a family. We also talked about the things I was scared of. Deep inside I knew I was being ridiculous but after what happened at the Tournament with Proud Hammer and Tirek, I became overprotective with her. What would happen If I’m not here for her or our foals? A lot of questions were  clouding my mind. But as always, she managed to calm me down and told me not to worry about this, she said we would be fine. She didn’t deny the fact that she wanted a foal in the near future but she was willing to wait until I was ready for this. I told her that I appreciated her patience and understanding by right now I feel I am just not ready yet.

It’s been three months already since I moved to Fluttershy’s cottage. Not many things have changed on my end, but Twilight and her friends have been very busy lately, using that map inside the castle is awesome! According to the Princess of Friendship, it shows the places where they are needed in order to solve a friendship problem, at first I wasn’t that worried about the girls and my babe to go to their first mission. I mean, really? How dangerous can a friendship problem really be? But when they told me about what Starlight Glimmer did, I regretted not going with them and was very close to tell Fluttershy not to go to any more missions. My marefriend knew what I was thinking and told me not to worry and to trust her and how it was her mission as an Element of Harmony to go where she was needed. I can’t deny I felt so proud of her but I still don’t like watching her go where danger is.

Discord returned from his punishment three days ago. It was true that in the end, he helped stop Tirek, but his actions could not be easily forgotten, of course the mane 6 and I asked Princess Celestia and Luna not to be too hard on him. She told us she was only doing it to set an example. But in the end, the Punishment was not too severe.

Traveling around Equestria, building or fixing homes for homeless ponies with his chaos magic, it was not too difficult for him, but the country is not exactly small. In any case, it is very impressive for him to finish this in less than 4 months. I can’t say we are exactly good friends now; but because Fluttershy is spending more and more time with me, he started to act like an older brother. But at least we tolerate each other, except for the times I try to incinerate him for turning my hair in cotton candy when I wake up in the morning!

Spike and I have been training every morning since the incident with Tirek. I believe he felt guilty for not being able to do anything at that time. I told him not to be that hard on himself, he calmed down and then he told me about his friendship with that unicorn filly and gryphin chick from the tournament; they had been in contact since the week after I left them, maybe he felt alone. I couldn’t help to feel like an idiot for that, but I must say I never thought I’d see my little bro being a ladies man or dragon. Not to mention the face Sweetie Belle’s makes anytime he mentions them, it’s just priceless!

Today I will travel back to Earth to get more supplies, and by supplies I mean candies, soda and the newest video games. I’m sure Luna and Pinkie Pie will be waiting for me to come back as soon as possible. As always, I need to be carefull with the portal, the last thing Equestria needs is to have to deal with unwanted humans. Considering the fact that Celestia and Luna are really thinking about letting me bring Steven and some other brony friends I have here to Equestria.

I just came back to Equestria, I was away for only 2 days but damn! I really missed here, I love Earth but I can say without a doubt that Equestria is my home now. My trip to Earth was very nice, I spent some time with Steven and my friends, telling them how I was travelling across the globe and how happy I was with my girlfriend. All of them congratulated me and said that they were dying to meet her in person. Of course I couldn’t show them a picture of Fluttershy so I lied again telling them she was afraid of cameras. Once I got everything I needed I waited until it was night and transported my cargo to the tree.

Fluttershy didn’t waste any time and hugged me as soon as she saw me. She was followed by Sweetie Belle, Rarity, Spike, Lyra and the rest. Then I proceeded to share all the candies I brought with them. Pinkie made a little party in my honor; Even though I told her it was not necessary. I believe it was as a way to show me how grateful she was for the three boxes of Snickers and Twists I gave her. Shining Armor and Cadence were there too, I was glad to see them after so long. It is a real shame their work as Rulers of the Crystal Empire don’t leave them with too much free time but I promised to visit them in the near future. Even though the party was nice and my friends were amazing, the best part was at the end of the day. When Fluttershy and I showed how much we missed each other.

Ok, I know that the fact that I am living in Equestria, a land that is not supposed to be real, I would never be impressed by anything else again; but Discord proved me wrong, I was looking for a birthday present for my cute marefriend when he appeared before me saying he wanted to make a deal. To make this story short:

I was transported to a different dimension where I was supposed to meet and fight a winged human named Daniel, and If I won, Discord would give me something amazing for Fluttershy. The Equestria Daniel lived on was full of anthropomorphic Ponies, Yes! Ponies that looked and stood up like humans! Can you believe it? Now I do! Well, all I can say is that we fought on an amazing match, the Shield Cloth spell Shining Armor helped me create came in handy. I lost in the end, but I must say that watching him use Ninja Jutsus brought back some interesting memories about an anime I used to watch when I was younger.

It would be fair to say I really liked Daniel, he is an amazing guy and I hope we will meet again some day. Once I was back in Equestria, even though I lost, Discord gave me something to give to my Birthday girl! I was immensely surprised when I saw a ring instead of the diamond Discord promised to give me; I would have been angry at him but in the end, I understood what he meant with this ring. It was time for Fluttershy and I to take our relationship to a whole new level. This was an engagement ring. Thank you Discord.

Today we are traveling to Cloudsdale to meet my fiance’s parents. I hope they are as kind as Fluttershy. After all, not every day a pegasus tells her parents she will be starting a family with a biped alien. . . I’m so screwed.
