I spent the rest of the day with Sunset Shimmer doing things with her. But then the day eventually turned to evening and I had to say goodbye to her for the day. I was sad, but I knew that we could meet again soon, which made me smile, because I liked Sunset a lot.

I went back home, which is right next to the school and sat down to watch some TV. I have a huge TV and a surround sound system engineered by myself. Nearby is a set of drawers that holds extra controllers of my Samtendo Snitch.

I flipped on my Samtendo and then got to playing Super Smash Sisters. Vice Principal Luna always said I was great at this game and I have beaten her at it countless times. I'm even better than some of the pros! Yeah, that good.

I usually play Imelda, who is an elf princess character, but today I decided to pick Marsh, a swordsman who looks like a girl, so that I can train my weaker characters. I decided to fight three level nine computer players and I selected them all as Browser, who is a big turtle monster. One by one I launched them off the map with my sword combos, at the same time, avoiding all their slow attacks.

Then there was a knock on the door. I got up and opened it and I  was surprised to see it was Cream the Rabbit from Sonic the Hedgehog. I haven’t seen her in so long and last I knew, she was being abducted by Dr. Robotik, and I hadn't been able to rescue her. I thought she was gone forever, but here she was outside my door.

“Cream you're okay!” I said. “How did you get away!”

“It was awful, John.” Cream answered. “They brought me to this dark place and kept me there for so long. I lost track of the days I’ve spent in there. And then I managed to escape when the guard left the door open and I managed to find my way to you using your scent.”

"That's good." I said. "Do you want to live here with me?"

“I have no were else to go.” She said. "Sonic and the others are still busy fighting Robotnik's forces on their end."

“I have plenty of room.” I answered, then I brought her upstairs.

I live in a three story house on the side of Canterlot High School. My first floor is where all my entertainment is at. In the living room beside the front door, I have a sixty inch TV, which is where I normally chill and play on my Samtendo Snitch. The room is filled with beanbags and there is a small coffee table by the side where I put my drinks and snacks if I feel hungry.

Outside, I have my kitchen, which is sparkling clean, because I like to keep my food clean everyday. Don't want to catch any sicknesses, am I right? I cook from time to time, because I had been self taught by the greatest chefs in Canterlot and I know how to cook a killer spaghetti and mac and cheese.

Upstairs, I have my games room where I have all my bored games, like Dungeons and Dragons and Monopoly, which I usually win at. I also have a computer in there which is a Acer and it can watch youtube videos at high speeds with loading only taking one second or less. And then I have my bedroom upstairs also. I have Batman bed sheets on my brown wooden bed and I have a walk in closet where I keep all my coolest clothes. My DC Action figures sat on my gray and white table by the wall where I have mostly Batman figures, but I also have almost the entire Justice League there.

Next to it I have my second bedroom, where there is another bed. It's a bigger one, also with Batman bed sheets in case anyone would happen to come stay, like Sunset Shimmer, like I dreamed, but it can be used by Cream for now.

“You can sleep over there.” I said and I pointed to the bed. “This is your room now, Cream.”

“Thank you, John!” She gave me a hug and squeezed me. “I now have a place to stay after running for so long.”

I smile feeling good about myself and start going back down stairs, but I remember something. "Hey Cream, did you see any yaks today?" I asked. 

"No I don't think so." Cream replied.

"Oh ok." I said and go back down to play Samtendo Snitch.

Cream comes to join me and I hand her a controller. She picks Marino, who is a plumber and we start battling. Being new to the game, I give her a little breathing room, but in the end, I still beat her every round. It was nice to have someone to play with. I had hoped it would be Sunset here, but now that she was my girlfriend, she could come here any time. Perhaps I should call her over now. Yes that sounded like a good plan, I can ask her if she wanted to stay the night.

Taking out my Linguine’s Haunted Mansion phone from my left pocket, I realize I have a few texts from Twilight. I guess I was too into the Game to realize it.

Dear John,

I hope your date went well, but we have important things at hand. I have gotten no word from Celestia or Luna and I’m not sure what's happened at Equestria, but if the yaks could come from the portal, then things are worse than we thought.

Meet me at my place and we’ll discuss our plans to fight them, Your relative, Twilight Sparkle.

I look at Cream enjoying herself on my Samtendo, then I look outside at the moon. It's late, so I soon chase Cream to go to bed and when she's sound asleep, I make sure to go quietly back to my room and lie down. Taking out my phone I message Sunset to see if she can watch over Cream for me tomorrow when I go to visit Twilight. She replies yes and with a smile on my face, I go to sleep.





Sunset came over early the next day and I gladly welcomed her in, because she was my girlfriend now.

“You're up early.” She said as I let her in.

“Just my usual routine.” I kissed her. “You look very pretty today.” Today I had on a Zekrom t-shirt, which is also one of my favorite Pokerman.

Sunset today was wearing a loose pink shirt that said, I’m Sexy; it looked good on her and she also had a purple skirt which looked even better. She smiled at me and kissed me back. I was tempted to continue kissing her there, but I knew I had a Job to do and I had to go do it.

“Cream, Sunset will be watching you.” I said to her in the living room. “I will go out for a while, then I will come back.”

“Hi Cream, it’s nice to meet you.” Sunset says.

“Nice to meet you.” Cream answered.

“Yeah we’re going to get along well.” Sunset said. She patted me on the shoulder. “Go on, you need to find out what is going on.”

“I’ll be back soon.” I kissed Sunset again and say goodbye to both of them, then I’m on my way to Twilight’s place.

I wave my hands at an empty parking lot and a ducati appears. I had learned magic from Gandalf, who one of my teachers. He taught me how to make things appear with magic. I could create anything I wanted. I had gone to Middle Earth after my time with Solaire in Lordran. Lordran was more aesthetically pleasing, but Middle Earth, by far, was safer. I'll talk more about Gandalf another time.
As I got on my bike, I notice there are all kinds of marks along the ground from the portal that weren't there yesterday. I rode my bike there to have a better look. The mud was fresh, which means that they had happened recently.

My phone rang in my pocket. I take it out to see it's my relative calling me. I wonder what she could want.

“John, the yaks are back!” Twilight said when I picked up. “I have sightings of them at the Canterlot Stadium. There breaking the place. You must go quick!”

“I’ll be there very fast, Twilight.” I answered.

I put my phone in my pocket and I twisted the ignition of my motorbike. I spin it around and then sped off down the Canterlot Streets. Those yaks are going to regret coming back again.
