Dillan sat on the windowsill of Twilight's castle, crossing his arms as he looked up in thought. "Well… the best way I can explain this is from my understanding. The smartest being in three arguably five galaxies made the Omnitrix to help bring the creatures of the universe closer together, it's hard to hate someone when you've been them. My watch is the evolution of the Omnitrix and a slight knock off, made by Azimuth's assistant with an evolution function that allows my transformations to evolve into what they'd be after a thousand years of non-stop fighting in a war."
“Fascinating.” Twilight said, writing all this down.
"Why would somepony make a device for an evolution of a thousand years of war?" Blueblood questioned, arching an eyebrow.
"No clue, but it does have its usefulness. Like if I was to be fighting something and I didn't have enough power I can evolve my transformations." Dillan stated. "And when the metaxies find a sample of DNA it doesn't have, they scan them and add it to the database."
“Like what it did when I shook your claw?” Celestia asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Hand, and yes." Dillan said. "Also, what happened when I picked up the cmc to get them out of the cold and when I met Spike."
“So you can turn into me?” Spike asked.
"Into a dragon, it doesn't copy the exact DNA, just the species." Dillan said, smiling softly.
“Oh.” Spike said, scratching his head.
“I have a question. What made this…television show about us…so interesting?” Rainbow asked before adding. “I mean I know I am awesome but..”
Dillan thinks for a moment. "Well… it made people happy, at least for me whenever I watched it I couldn't help but smile. Compared to my world, your world is a lot more vibrant and beautiful."
“That's nice.” Fluttershy whispered.
"But it's more than that, the show that I know brought people together. You made so many people's lives better and brought so much happiness." Dillan said smiling, pulling out his phone and playing a song he had downloaded.
By the end of the song most of the ponies were in tears. “What a beautiful song.” Fluttershy said.
Dillan smiles. "That's a song a fan of the show made, because the show changed so many people's lives and taught us so much."
“That sounds lovely.” Rarity said with a smile.
“It was too sappy for me, it needs to be twenty percent cooler.” Rainbow said, crossing her hooves.
"Like that dress you had Rarity make?" Dillan asked with a smirk.
Rainbow blushed and huffed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” All the girls giggle at her.
"Anyway, there is one thing I'd like to ask you all if you don't mind." Dillan said, looking at the group.
“What is that?” Celestia asked
Dillan takes a deep breath. "How is it that Twilight was the only one to notice Cadence wasn't acting like herself during her wedding? I mean the elements I can understand, but Celestia? She's your niece! How the heck didn't you notice she wasn't acting live herself!?" He asked, making Celestia flinch a bit "and you five!" He said to the elements. "I understand that you were excited for a wedding and that a princess asked you for help but… how did you not think your friend may have been right and why didn't you stick by her side or at the very least if you thought she was having personal problems… didn't help her?" He asked, throwing his hands in the air in exasperation.
Most of the ponies seemed to be ashamed of themselves however Blueblood and Luna look confused and embarrassed respectively. “What wedding? I was not informed.” Blue said.
"Princess mia mora credenza's wedding with shining armor." Dillan stated. "it was during that large changeling invasion with queen Chrysalis kidnapping and taking the place of Cadence."
“Oh I was out of the country on a diplomatic mission.” Blue said.
“And I am reluctant to say I slept through most of the invasion.” Luna said with a light blush.
"Understandable considering you're usually up all night." Dillan said, nodding before looking at everyone he yelled at. "And listen, sorry for snapping. You all learned from your mistake and I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I just had to get that off my chest." He chuckled. "Watching that made a lot of people at home go crazy with questions…. Not literally."
“I understand.” Twilight said. “Sometimes there will be a confusing or inconsistent plot point in one of my stories and I try to figure it out.” She said, chuckling a bit.
Dillan chuckles. "Alright, I obviously know a lot about you guys… creepily so now that I think about it." He said getting a few chuckles from the ponies around him. "So go ahead and ask me questions about me, and not my Ultimatrix…" he said, glancing at Twilight.
“What can you do?” Rainbow asked before adding. “I mean you without your ultiwhatever.”
"I was pretty good at singing… according to my…" Dillan paused, sighing softly. "To my family, and I was pretty good at basketball."
“Darling, I could be wrong but did something happen in your past?” Rarity asked.
"His family left to go somewhere on their version of hearths warming." Sweetie belle said, as Applebloom looked at Applejack sadly.
Applejack pulls her hat down over her eyes. “Sorry to hear that sugar cube.”
"How long ago did they leave?" Pinkie pie asked, tilting her head curiously not realizing what they actually meant.
"Three months ago…" Dillan said quietly after a moment of silence. "My fiancée… uh went with them along with our unborn child."
Applebloom and Applejack hug each other while Celestia and Luna lower their heads as they are the only ones to understand.
"So what? Your family leaves you and you just up and leave your world? Bit dramatic don't you think?" Blueblood asked, raising an eyebrow.
Dillan's eyes turned to him, rage filling his eyes. "The fillies and young dragon need to leave… I'm about to be saying stuff they shouldn't hear."
Applejack frowns and nods pushing the young ones out of the room. “Awww I want to hear what he is gonna say.” Applebloom said.
"Bloom… you already know, considering that pep talk you gave me last night." Dillan said, smiling softly at the young pony. "Don't go too far ok, you four can show me around ponyville later, how's that sound?"
Applebloom nods and the fillies and Spike leave the room, waiting until the door closes and Dillan turns to all the older ponies. "For those who didn't understand what I was saying… my family died."
The mares cover their mouths and Blueblood frowns. “Oh, I apologize for my harsh words.”
Dillan nods softly as Fluttershy tears up. "S-so your fiancé a-and child…?"
"Yeah... they died too..." Dillan mumbled looking down.
The mares got up and came over to Dillan and gave him a hug, with Blue and the guards looking around awkwardly as Dillan's face turns a bit red, coughing a little. "T-thanks, um… I'll be ok."
"Good to see we're not the only awkward ones here." A guard whispers to his companion who nodded.
“Perhaps we should change the subject.” Celestia said softly.
Dillan nods a bit. "So um, what else do you want to know about me?"
“What do human’s eat?” Fluttershy asked shyly. “If that's ok to say.”
"We're omnivores…" Dillan said, looking for their reactions
Most of the ponies tilt their heads but Celestia, Luna, Blueblood, and Fluttershy nod their heads in understanding.
"Humans um… need to eat vegetables and meat to stay healthy." Dillan said, chuckling nervously.
Some of the confused ponies turn green while others take a few steps back. “I see, well I am sure fish will be enough…right?” Twilight asked.
"We can eat fish but… I'm allergic." Dillan said, hanging his head.
“Oh dear.” Fluttershy said, covering her mouth.
"That complicates things…" Celestia said, tapping her chin with a hoof.
"Might you be able to eat as a pony?" Luna asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't really know, and um… I'm not sure how transforming so much just to eat will affect my natural DNA." Dillan said.
“You can give it a try, I mean what's the worst that can happen?” Rainbow said, crossing her hooves.
"I could die?" Dillan said, rubbing his neck. "Because it would mess up my immune system and such."
“Geez.” Rainbow said, looking away.
"Hmmm…" Dillan said thinking. "I may hunt constellation beasts then..."
“Constellation beasts?” Rainbow asked, with a raised eyebrow.
“Like when the ursa minor came to town due to Trixie.” Twilight said with a frown.
"That was more Snips and Snails' fault." Dillan said, crossing his arms. "Trixie didn't tell them to do that, she was just putting on a show."
“But she is the one that lied and put the idea in their head.” Rainbow said, looking at him with furrowed eyebrows
"No, she didn't, she was boasting she defeated an ursa major before, and they thought hey! Let's see something awesome and have her do it again!" Dillan said, sighing with a shake of his head. "The show gives a lot more detail on things you guys wouldn't have seen… It focuses on different ponies at different times. I saw Snips and Snails' coming up with that dumb idea."
The mane six look at each other a bit concerned they may be in the wrong. “Excuse us but does this …show ever reveal us?” Luna asks before remembering her speech lessons and corrects herself pointing at herself and her sister. “I mean me and my sister.”
"Well… not a lot but sometimes. It showed why you became nightmare moon and it showed Celestia's more playful side." He chuckles. Luna looks down and Celestia wraps a wing around her sister.
Dillan smiles softly. "People back home actually have favorite princesses, personally you're my favorite princess Luna."
Luna’s head lifts as do her ears. “I have fans?”
"Yeah, for the longest time before the shower revealed Celestia's… less than princessy side you were much more favorites and liked because you were more relatable. You had flaws and you showed emotion aside from Celestia who was shown to always have a royal stoic typeface." Dillan said smiling.
Celestia pouts a bit as Luna giggles. “So they didn’t like me before I started acting silly?”
"Oh no, many people like you. You're a wonderful princess and motherly figure to Twilight." Dillan said with a smile. "It's just in the show you weren't shown all that much."
Rainbow gets in Dillan’s face. “Do I become leader of the wonderbolts?!”
"I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise." Dillan said smirking as he backed up a little.
“Aw come on!” Rainbow yelled falling down to the ground.
"If I told you it might not happen." Dillan said, gently rubbing her head.
Rainbow sighs and nods her head. “Alright I get it.”
“Oooo! Do I get to throw a party for you!?” Pinkie asked with a bright smile.
Dillan smiles widely. "Are you joking? I've been dreaming of going to a Pinkie pie party, let's do it!"
“Yay!” Pimkie cheered.
Everyone chuckles softly as Blue blood stands up. "I shall inform the contractors you wish for their aid aunty lulu."
“Thank you Blueblood, that would be most helpful.” Luna said, smiling at her nephew.
Blueblood nods softly as he leaves, making Rarity stick her young out after he leaves. "What a brute!"
“He could be a lot worse.” Dillan said, shaking his head.
"How?" Rarity asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Well in one reality I know of he tricked Twilight when she just became an alicorn into marrying him and used her as a puppet to take over Equestria." Dillan said.
“What!” Twilight yelled in shock and embarrassment.
Dillan nods. "It's a fanfiction, but I mean multiverse."
“Whoa, so like is there an evil universe out there?” Rainbow asked, looking worried.
"Where you're evil?" Dillan asked, rubbing his neck. "I mean… Do you guys know someone named Starlight glimmer?"
“Yeah, she is somewhere in the castle, we just had a night where we told her the story of ‘A hearths warming tail’, why?” Twilight asked.
"Then you Twilight, have already been parallel universes." Dillan said with a small smile, doing a quick double take as he noticed Pinkie was gone. "Wow, that's weird seeing it in person… and um I'm referring to when Starlight used this map to go back in time."
“Oh…well at least those worlds are gone now.” She shuttered. “Some of them were horrible.”
"Oh no they still exist." Dillan said. "When Starlight went back in time it sprouted alternative timelines, they still exist just as this one…"
“What!?” Twilight stood up with worry in her eyes. “Can we help those timelines then?”
Dillan blinks a few times as he rubs the back of his neck more, as it starts turning red from the excessive rubbing. "Uh… I'm not sure… we could try…"
"Twilight, how would you possibly get to those timelines without spawning more?" Celestia asked her student.
Twilight lowers her head. “But…they need help.” She said sadly.
Dillan glanced at his Ultimatrix, a thoughtful look on his face as Luna noticed. "Something on thy mind sir Dillan?" She asked getting everyone's attention.
“You look deep in thought.” Celestia adds.
"Oh um." Dillan said, blushing a bit and looking at his ultimatrix. "I um.. have a transformation that can… time travel?"
“Time travel is very dangerous.” Celestia warns as she closes her eyes with a smile. “It would be irresponsible for me to not keep an eye on you to make sure you don't help my former student mess with the timeline.”
"Well… I wouldn't be messing with the timeline." Dillan said. "Theoretically I can travel through time to the point starlight opens the portals to other dimensions and… go through. That way I can help those other dimensions."
Celestia sings and lights her horn, putting on ear muffs. “I’m sorry I can’t hear what you just said.”
Luna getting the hint smiles and picks a random book to bury her face in. “We are sorry, we are too absorbed in this fascinating story to hear what you are doing.”
Dillan blinks a few times and chuckles, shaking his head. "I don't even know of I have the transformation unlocked."
Twilight smiles a bit and lightly hits his arm. “Then check, if we can help we should. It's what a friend would do.”
Dillan laughs a little. "I like how you all just accept a complete stranger as a friend." He said popping up his Ultimatrix and flipping through the holograms.
“Oooo! Shiny.” Pinkie said, jumping onto Dillan’s back and looked over his shoulder.
"Hi Pinkie, how's the decorating for the party going?" Dillan asked her, somehow not bothered by her sudden reappearance.
“Going just great, but I need to know your favorite color, cake flavor, cupcake flavor, and soft drink flavor.” Pinkie said before waving her hoof through the holograms of the aliens. “Oooo, neat.”
"Oh. In order it's Blue, chocolate and vanilla, confetti, and mountain dew." Dillan said, before he stopped looking through his holograms. "I don't have that form unlocked…"
Pinkies disappears in a pinkie shaped smoke cloud as Twilight lowers her head. “oh.”
"But once I do unlock it we can help the other universes." Dillan said with a small smile. She smiles a bit but then looks over at the princesses and giggles a bit as they are still pretending not to pay attention, making Dillan shake his head, pulling Celestia's one earmuff off. "I don't have that transformation unlocked."
“Oh, well it's probably for the best.” Celestia said, shaking her head. “So what shall we discuss now?”
"No clue, I'm pretty sure that covers everything…" Dillan said, rubbing his head. "And I'm sure Pinkie wouldn't be very happy if we don't show up to that party."
“Yeah, we do not want to miss one of her parties.” Rainbow said before shuttering.
Applejack nods with a shudder. "Seeing as ya promised the girls they could show ya around how about ya do that while we go see pinkie?"
Dillan nods. "Right, wouldn't be right if I broke my promise."
“Well I think we can stay for a little bit longer, perhaps to have a slice of cake…or two.” Celestia said, licking her lips, making Luna roll her eyes but smile.
Dillan chuckles before going to find the CMC and Spike. "Hey there!" Sweetie Belle said, running up to Dillan. "Ready for your tour?"
He smiles and nods. "Ma'am yes ma'am."
“Come on, we wanna get this tour started!” Scootaloo said pulling on Dillan’s pants leg to get him to move faster.
"Alright, alright!" Dillan laughs, following the four of them. "So where first?"
“Rainbow’s house!” Scootaloo said.
“Sweet Apple Acres!” Applebloom said.
“The Carousel Boutique!” Sweetie Belle said…all at the same time.
Spike shakes his head with a smirk, as Dillan laughs. "Ok ok, how about this? We go in order. Since sweet apple acres is on the outskirts of the city we go there first, then Rainbow's house, then the Carousel boutique."
“Ok!” All the fillies said at once and tried to get Dillan out the door faster, making all the mares laugh.
Dillan smiles simply as he follows the three leaving Spike with Twilight. "He certainly is good with children." Rarity said with a smile.
“Yes, but I suppose that's to be expected given…his past.” Celestia said, then she looked at Luna. “Luna, please ensure he has at least a month of peaceful sleep, so he can focus on settling in. He will have to face his demons someday, but the least we can do is give him some time to adjust to our world and make it home for himself here.”
Luna nods. "Of course, I'd like to ask you six to help him as well." She said to the main six. "I'm after something so horrible he'll need some friends and I have a feeling he isn't telling us something."
“Of course, princess.” Twilight said with a smile.
“I won’t let either of you or him down.” Rainbow said.
Rarity smiles and nods her head. “I shall do my best to make him and perhaps learn what he isn't telling us.”
“I…I’ll h-help too.” Fluttershy said shyly.
“Darn Tuten will help him your highness. If he wants it, he'll have a job on sweet apple acres.” Applejack said with a smile.
Celestia and Luna smile. "Thank you, girls." Celestia said
The mares all got up and started walking out of the castle. “Where do you think the party will be at?” Rarity asked.
“Where else? Sugarcube Corner duh.” Rainbow said as she flew next to her friends.
"Yeah." Applejack said with a smile. "Ah bet she asked the girls to distract him for a while."
“It would explain why they want to take him to three different places that are on three different corners of Ponyville.” Luna spoke up.
"Indeed." Celestia giggled.
“Shall we split up and help both Pinkie and the girls?” Rarity asked.
"Didn't Scootaloo say something about Rainbow's house?" Twilight asked as Rainbow dash blinks and quickly flies off with a red blush on her face.
The mares giggle at their friend before they agree to split up, the princesses and Rarity going to help Pinkie while Twilight, Applejack, and Fluttershy go to find Dillan and the fillies.
Dillan smiles as the three fillies lead him to Sweet apple acres, looking around at the vast amounts of apple trees. "This is amazing, the show never showed this much."
“It didn’t? How come?” Applebloom asked.
"It mostly focused on the house and barn… Oh and your clubhouse. Other than that, it was supposed to just be an apple orchard, but this is a lot more amazing than I ever thought." Dillan stated.
“If you think this is cool, just wait till you see Rainbow’s house.” Scootaloo said.
The others rolled their eyes, but Applebloom said. “You have seen our clubhouse? Do…does that mean we were on the show too?”
"Oh yeah." Dillan nods. "You guys even had a bunch of your own episodes."
“Cool! I bet we got to beat a lot of baddies up huh?” Scootaloo said, punching the air with her hooves.
Dillan smiles at her as the four continue to walk afterwards. "All I'll say is that you're all awesome."
The filly's giggles and smile as they keep leading him around the farm. They eventually run into Big Mac and Granny Smith. "Applebloom, who in tarnation is this?" Big Mac asked with furrowed eyebrows.
“This is a new friend!” Applebloom said with a smile, even though her ears fold backwards.
“Yeah, he saved us when we needed help.” Sweetie Belle added.
“And he is moving to ponyville.” Scootaloo finished.
"My name's Dillan." Dillan said with a smile as Granny walked up slowly.
"Yer saying he saved yall?" She asked looking Dillan over a bit.
The three fillies nod their heads and smile innocently. “Yes ma'am, he did.” Applebloom said.
"Well thank Ya fer saving my grand filly." Granny said with a smile. "Yer welcome on our farm anytime."
Dillan smiles softly and nods. "Thank you… oh hey big Mac do you and spike need another orcs and ooblets player?"
Big mac blushes lightly and looks around. “Ah don’t know what yer talkin bout.”
“Oh come off it Mac, the whole town knows you and that little dragon boy play together.” Granny smith said.
"Yeah, where I come from, we have Dungeons and dragons. It's amazing and trust me it's basically the same." Dillan said smiling.
Big Mac sighs and rubs his head. “Yeah we could use another player.”
"Sweet!" Dillan said happily. "I'm looking forward to it."
“Me too.” Big Mac said.
"I'm actually going to have a house built with Princess Luna's help… I wonder if I can add a gaming room?" Dillan muttered out loud.
“Hey girls, let's show him our clubhouse.” Applebloom said to the other two fillies.
"Yah!" The unicorn and Pegasus said, dragging- more like trying to drag- Dillan to their clubhouse.
“Come on Dillan, we want to show you so much stuff.” Scootaloo said.
"Ok ok." Dillan said with a smile, following the three again. "It was nice meeting you two!" He called to Big Mac and Granny Smith.
The two older ponies waved as Dillan was led away before going back to work, and sleeping in a rocking chair. “Maybe we can show him the everfree after this?” Scootaloo said to her friends.
"No." Dillan said sternly. "The everfree forest is dangerous, I am not letting you three go into those woods."
“Aww.” All three fillies said simultaneously as hell over their heads. “And I thought you would be fun.” Scootaloo said.
"I'm sure it would, but I'm responsible for you three while you're with me and I'm not going to put you in danger like that." Dillan said, as Fluttershy, Applejack, and Twilight overhear from where they were following them.
“Oh good, he is firm but not cruel with his rules.” Fluttershy whispered.
"Yeah, if he had let them go in there, I'd have tanned his hide." Applejack whispered with a chuckle as they continued following the three ponies and a human.
“It could just be because he knows the dangers of the forest.” Twilight whispered while writing down the conversation.
"Ok how about we go see cloudsdale!" Scootaloo said, hopping up and down excitedly.
"Scots…" Dillan said pointing at Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. "Not Pegusi, they can't walk on clouds."
She waves a hoof. “We can get that cloud walking spell.”
"And who would cast it? Last I checked -no offence Sweetie- Sweetie belle can't use magic that well. Besides, we don't have the time. Pinkie pie is throwing a party for me. It's rude if I was late for my own party." He chuckled.
“Awww, later?” Scootaloo asked.
"How about in two days? That way I can get my house built and everything then we can go sightseeing and I can also show you some of my new alien forms." Dillan said with a smile.
“Coool!” They all say with stars in their eyes.
Dillan sweat drops and chuckles nervously. "What have I gotten myself into?"
"He's going to regret that decision." Applejack muttered.
The fillies giggle and jump around him as they lead him to the clubhouse. “I am sure he will.” Twilight said with a giggle.
"How about we wait for the others to stop trying to follow us and just come out?" Dillan said, smirking as he glanced back at the hidden ponies seeing a little yellow flank with three butterflies and a pink tail sticking out of the bushes.
The mares slowly come out chuckling embarrassed that they got caught. “How did you know we were here?” Twilight asked.
"Two things." Dillan said, holding up two fingers. "The main one is I'm a human, and I could hear your hooves clippity clopping on the ground." He said as they looked at their hooves. "The second thing is that Fluttershy's flank wasn't in the bush all the way."
The other two look at Fluttershy who blushed and covered her flank with her tail. “O-oh my.”
"Not like that." Dillan said, rolling his eyes. "I just saw the top of your flank and tail."
Fluttershy still blushed. “Sorry girls, I guess I'm not good at sneaking.”
"It's alright sugar cube." Applejack said.
"Yeah… we should have just walked with them anyway." Twilight said rubbing her neck.
“Dillan! Come on!” Scootaloo said, pulling on Dillan.
"Ok ok, jeez you're impatient." Dillan said following them.
“Of course we are, we're fillies!” Applebloom said with a giggle.
Dillan rolled his eyes with a smile, looking up at the tree house as they approached the CMC clubhouse. "Wow, this is cooler in person."
“Hey I wonder if he will fit inside.” Sweetie said out loud.
"Oh yeah… he is pretty tall…" Scootaloo said, leaning her head back to look at Dillan.
"Anyone afraid of bugs?" Dillan asked the group. "I have a small transformation that could let me fit in there."
“Nope.” Applebloom said.
“No way would I be scared of a bug.” Scootaloo said.
Sweetie looked around nervous before saying. “I’m not…a-afraid of bugs.”
Dillan looked at Sweetie belle. "If you are Belle let me know ok? I won't use that form." He said kneeling down with a small smile.
She shakes her head. “I’ll be fine.”
"Are you sure? I do have a different small transformation." Dillan said, gently rubbing her head.
She blushes lightly and looks down. “I said I will be fine.”
Dillan nods softly, popping up his Ultimatrix and transforming into a small insect-like creature with a blue hue. "Ball weevil!"
Applebloom and Scootaloo lean down to look at him while Sweetie Belle keeps her distance. “What can this little guy do?” Scootaloo asked.
"I can make balls of mucus that explode." Dillan said, looking at Sweetie belle. "You don't look very comfortable."
“I’m ok, and ew.” Sweetie said.
“What's wrong?” Scootaloo asked.
“He used mucus that explodes.” Sweetie said, the other two fillies just shrug not knowing what that is.
"Snot." Dillan said. "That's what mucus is."
“Ew!” The fillies said backing up and Applejack laughed.
"Y'all are afraid of a little snot?" Applejack asked as Dillan climbed onto sweetie belle's back.
"Relax, I won't use my abilities." Dillan said, sitting on Sweetie Belle's head.
“You better not, especially not on top of my head.” Sweetie said, looking up at him.
"Gross." Scootaloo said, sticking out her tongue. "Anyway, let's go."
Twilight walks up to them and draws a sketch of Dillan’s form. “Fascinating.”
Dillan laughs. "Never imagined I'd be the focus of an infamous Twilight learning session."
“Infamous? Why would learning be bad?” Twilight asked as they all walked up the ramp.
"Twilight… you literally spend days in a dark room doing nothing but reading " Dillan said with a dead paned look.
Twilight blushes a bit. “I don’t do that…anymore.”
"Any more keywords there." Dillan said as they went inside the clubhouse. "wow, this is amazing…"
“Thanks! We each did something to decorate the inside of it.” Applebloom said, then added. “I made the furniture.”
“I got the lights.” Sweetie said.
“And I got all the cool stuff.” Scootaloo said.
Dillan nods looking around. "This is a lot different than the show, in the show all you had were some tables and natural sunlight." He said looking around more.
“Well, we did recently upgrade it a bit.” Sweetie said before Applejack picks up a lamp eyeing it.
“Is this Rarity’s reading lamp?” She asked.
Dillan chuckles. "They're children, where did you think they'd get all this stuff? They have no money… but stealing is wrong you three."
The fillies sit together and smile innocently. “We didn’t steal…just borrowed.”
All the adults stare at them before shaking their heads with smiles. "Well at least it's nothing too expensive." Dillan commented.
"True, Rarity already replaced that lamp." Twilight stated.
“Oh wait!” Scootaloo said before looking at her friends. “If Dillan has seen our world, then maybe he knows what our cutie marks are!”
"Not telling." Dillan interrupted. "You probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you." He said chuckling.
“Aww.” they all say before Sweetie’s ears perk up. “Wait so we do eventually get our marks?”
"Well duh, all ponies do." Dillan said, before his Ultimatrix symbol began beeping. "Oh crap!" He said before bouncing out the window and turning back to normal rolling along the ground a bit. "Ok… I'm ready for that party…"
The fillies and mares giggle at Dillan. “Alright, Pinkie should be done by now.” Twilight said.
"So do you have a limited time you can stay transformed?" Sweetie belle asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Yeah… usually it's roughly ten to fifteen minutes… but with my watch it lasts as long as it has energy." Dillan said, slowly standing up. "Ah my back…" he said before he stood up with a loud crack. "Oh, that feels good."
All the ponies flinch at the popping sounds and the fillies even cover their ears.
"You guys, ok?" Dillan asked, arching an eyebrow.
“That sound, how can you do that to yourself?” Twilight asked.
"I was just cracking my back. It feels really good." Dillan said as Scootaloo stretched herself and did the same thing as Dillan.
"Oh wow!" Scootaloo said with a dopy smile. "That does feel good."
The other ponies shiver. “It sounds painful.” Twilight said.
"Not at all, it's kind of like a self-massage. Just don't do it too much." Dillan said. "It can mess up your spine." He said picking up Scootaloo and looking at her with a smile as she tried to do it again.
“Well come on y’all, don’t want to miss Pinkie’s party.” Applejack said.
Dillan smiles and picks up the other crusaders, setting them all on his shoulders and head giving the three a higher point of view. The three giggled as the group walked, getting multiple looks form the towns ponies when Dillan walked through the town with his head held high
