New Beginnings 

Prologue 

Marcus woke up in The Library now back to his equine form, same as Twilight, who was trying on a dress "Hey Marcus, the Grand Galloping Gala is on tomorrow night, you want to come?" she asked  "I guess I'll come, first I'll need a something to wear" replied Marcus getting up, "Well then I have a friend who can do that for you" said Twilight. The two set off to see Rarity, but failed to notice a dark figure hooded observing them....

Chapter 1 

"Is this the right color?" asked Rarity looking at Marcus wearing a tuxedo underneath his leather jacket "I guess so" replied Marcus looking in the mirror, "Well then, I guess we'll be off, come on Marcus" said Twilight as the two walked out of the boutique. 

Marcus and Twilight walked through the town square, Marcus looked around, he saw a rainbow colored blur race through the air, messing up his mane "Marcus your hair!" laughed Twilight looking at his messed up mane "Oh great, who was that anyway?" asked Marcus, "That's Rainbow Dash, she's a friend of mine" said Twilight answering his question. 

"I think approximately we've been away for.... 4 days-" said Marcus being interrupted by Applejack greeting the him and Twilight, "Howdy Twi,  where've you been?" she asked "Oh just traveling" replied Twilight "There was a strange lighting storm last night, it was a  massive one, nopony in Cloudsdale had started it" said Applejack.  "Twilight, I need to go back to the Library" said Marcus, "Alright, I you see Spike, tell him I was at Rarity's" replied Twilight. 

As Marcus made his way towards the Library,  he barely noticed Rainbow Dash coming towards him,  Marcus barely enough time to react as the two crashed into each other. "Oohh my head. Hey I haven't seen you around before" said Rainbow Dash looking at Marcus who had recovered in an instant, eyeing the Pegasus from head to tail he said, "Geez this place gets weirder and weirder, aren't you Rainbow Dash" said Marcus looking at her "The one and the only" replied the Pegasus "I've been hearing that the Gala is tomorrow night" said Marcus  "Yeah it is,  the others and I are getting train tickets to Canterlot, I hope it'll be better than last year"  said RD "It was nice meeting you" said Marcus walking off towards the library. 

Chapter 2

"No, no, no, no, no!! Damn it!" yelled Marcus scanning his vortex manipulator with his sonic screwdriver, "What's wrong" said a worried Twilight "My Vortex Manipulator burnt out, it's repairable but it'll take some work, probably a week or two" said Marcus 

"You still ready for the Gala tomorrow night" said Twilight, "Yep, nothing's gonna stop stop me" said Marcus.  Twilight lent in for a kiss and the pair collapsed onto the bed,  just as Spike came through the door, "Twilight I'm hom-" announced Spike as his mouth gaped open seeing the two Unicorns kiss each other Twilight turned around seeing Spike looking at her with astonishment, "Oh god, Twilight what are you doing, kissing that colt, do you even know him!?" said Spike angrily at Twilight "He's just a friend, honestly" said a nervous Twilight "A "friend", who I see with you making out in front of me!" said an angry Spike, "SPIKE!! I love Marcus for who he is, now stop poking your nose into my business" said Twilight walking off angrily. 


"I can't believe that this is happening, If ANYONE finds out I'm not a unicorn, I will be probably dissected and tortured, with probably BOTH my hearts ripped out. It's so hard trying to fit in here" said Marcus."It'll be alright Marcus.  What way to end the day isn't it" said Twilight "Yeah, what a way" said Marcus looking at her as the two fell asleep for the night.....
