The next morning, Kyle started to awaken, as he slowly opened his eyes. He had no idea what the diamond did in a flash or how he was still alive, but he did know one thing besides feeling fresh oxygen in his lungs again. He felt something soft and warm pressed up against his cheek. He opened his eyes and looked around, “Wh-Where am I?” He saw that he was in someone’s cottage and sleeping on his or her bed tucked underneath bedsheets and a blanket, but also wrapped in a warm motherly hug. He was confused on how he ended up there or why he was being cuddled or who was doing it. He decided to carefully get up without waking up the purple creature who hugged him and have a look around, but he suddenly lost balance and fell over off the bed.

“OW!” Kyle shouted. “How did I...” He was surprised on how his voice didn’t sound raspy like how weak he was before, but he didn’t want to wake up the others. He was about to pull his hand to his mouth until he saw that his right hand was a pale light grayish purple hoof. “My hands!” He looked around, trying to find an explanation to where he was and what he was. But first, he looked down at his body and saw that he was some kind of oddly colored horse thing.

But, to make matters even more surprising, he saw that what lies in his crotch was of a male horse. He was not happy of what he was seeing. Not only did he find the stolen diamond, he got transported to some weird place somewhere completely different, but he ended up in the body of a horse thing. Then Kyle suddenly thought he forgotten about something important, before it hit him.

“The diamond! Where’s that diamond?!” Kyle nearly shouted, looking for the diamond. He then saw that the diamond that sent him there was now dull and broken right down the middle, along with a few smaller fragments or shards of it. “No! No no no no no no! I can’t be stuck here like this! I have to get out of here!”

Kyle tried moving around like a human would, trying to walk on only his hind legs, but he was really off balanced, trying to stand up like a human. But after the third step, he tripped and fell over down the stairs.

“Oof!” Kyle said as he landed on his stomach.

“Sheesh,” Spike said. “Talk about a good night’s sleep.” He went downstairs for a drink. As he got himself a cup of water, he heard something he did not expect to hear. The voice of a colt whimpering quietly.

That made Spike stop, and look around. He had no idea where that voice came from, but he then decided to run around the cottage, trying to find the colt. He followed the sound of the colt's voice, and stopped when he came across one room. He saw the colt, trying to leave the place.

“Wh-Whoa! Whoa!” Kyle said, trying to maintain his balance, but suddenly bumped into something or someone.

“Gah! Ow!” Spike said, rubbing his forehead. But then he looked over at the colt, and Kyle was surprised by the dragon’s appearance. Spike then screamed, making the colt scream as well. Then the two of them ran in separate directions, Spike hid behind the couch, but Kyle, who somehow got perfect balance ran outside the door and headed towards the Everfree Forest panicking.

Spike then went after him, “Hey! Wait! Come back!”

Kyle kept panting while running, before Spike lost sight of him, “Hey! Hey, wait!”

Spike was now in trouble, “Aw, shoot.” He went back inside to warn the others.

Meanwhile, at the ruins of an old castle, Kyle ran towards a bed inside an old bedroom, jumped on it, grabbed the blanket with his teeth, and covered his entire body up, trembling under the covers. He was mumbling towards himself, “This isn't real. It's just a bad dream. This isn't real. It's just a bad dream. This isn't real! It's just a bad dream!”





Spike was running back inside Fluttershy’s cottage and suddenly saw Twilight and her friends having some tea so that she can recover from her magical labor, before they could help her and Spike move in to the Golden Oaks Library later. The six of them looked towards the door to see Spike.

“Well, howdy, Spike,” Applejack said. “Did ya have a good night’s rest?”

“Twilight! It’s an emergency!” Spike exclaimed.

Twilight suddenly noticed that Spike panting, and asked, “Spike, what is it? Is something wrong?”

“Twilight, remember when you went into labor last night?” Spike asked.

“Yes, why?” Twilight asked.

“I saw the colt walking around but he was moving around a little bit wobbly, but he suddenly saw me, before he did one thing ponies usually do when encountering a dragon: scream and run,” Spike said. “And to make matters worse, he ran all the way in there!” He pointed at the view of the Everfree Forest at Fluttershy’s door.

“Wait, what?” Rainbow Dash asked. “The colt’s out there by himself?”

“Was he okay?” Fluttershy asked.

“I wanted to calm him down by chasing after him, but to bring him back so I can make him something to eat, but he was too fast before he teleported,” Spike said. “But I suddenly got a bad feeling of where he might’ve ended up. The Castle of the Two Sisters!”

“WHAT?!” the Mane 6 shouted.

“Oh, that poor dear!” Rarity said, with a hoof over her chest. “He might get himself hurt!”

Twilight placed Spike on her back and said, “C’mon, everypony! We got to get to the Castle of the Two Sisters!”

Then the Mane 6 and Spike headed out of Fluttershy’s cottage, and headed towards the forest. As they entered, Fluttershy wondered about the colt. She asked, “You don’t think something might scare that colt, do you?”

“I sure hope not,” Applejack said.

“Maybe he needs a friend!” Pinkie Pie said rushing ahead.

“What matters right now is search and rescue,” Twilight said. “We have to find that colt before something happens to him.” They continued running through the Everfree Forest, trying to save the colt and bring him to safety.





Back at the castle, Kyle was still covered up, hiding from that creature that caught his eyes, but was also crying and shaking because of the surroundings he was experiencing, realizing that the forest wasn’t a good place for children to live. He was scared, and lonely. He didn’t know how long he hid under those covers, but he didn’t want to come out for anything. But one thing came to Kyle: he had to use the bathroom, but he didn’t know if this castle had any toilets.

Kyle slowly and carefully got out of the bed, and headed towards the exit of the castle. He was embarrassed that he had to pee because he had no idea how to pee in the current form he had now, but he had no choice but to go with it. Kyle really had to go, so he walked over behind a bush in case someone came in and saw him.

Kyle then finished up quickly and headed back inside. But as he went into the doors, he heard some voices.

“There’s the castle!”

Kyle gasped, and then he rushed back inside the castle, and headed back towards the room where he hid before. He went under the covers again. He shivered in fear while whimpering and crying at the same time, hoping that he wouldn't be hurt. He waited for when the owners of the voices to go away. But then, he heard the sound of hoofsteps coming in.

“That must be the colt,” a voice that Kyle didn't recognize said. “Let’s get him out of here. It’s not safe here for him.”

Kyle then felt something wrap around the blanket, pulling him up as well.

“Should we at least see if he’s okay, first?” came a quiet and calming voice. “Look at the little guy. Even though we can’t see him, he must be scared to death.”

“I agree, darling,” Rarity said.

“You have a point, Fluttershy,” the first voice said again. “Let’s see if he’s okay.” Kyle was placed back down on the bed. He felt something go across her back, it was a hoof rubbing his back. Then, the end of the blanket was pulled out.

Kyle saw that the ones who was in the room with him. He saw six colorful horses that were bigger and older than him. Two unicorns, two pegasi, and two regular. And... all of them were shocked to see Kyle’s appearance.

“What the…?!” the six mares shouted.

Kyle was surprised and pulled the covers back over him, hiding from the mares underneath the bed. He was shaking even more than usual.

“I don’t believe it!” came the first voice.

“He looked just like you!” the dragon known as Spike said.

“It must’ve been a part of Nightmare Moon’s spell, but there must be something else we don’t know,” Twilight said.

“I don’t know too much ‘bout magic, but how do we even know that this colt is dangerous?” the orange country mare asked.

“Only one way to find out!” the rainbow maned pegasus said, clasping her hooves together.

“Oh no no no no! He’s already frightened too much!” the white unicorn said.

“Because we’ve frightened him. The only way for him to get him to talk to us if we don’t alarm him, but calm him down. He did look like me, but his coat and mane were also familiar,” the purple unicorn said.

Kyle was trembling and crying, but then he felt the covers being pulled off of him. Kyle looked at the six mares with fear in his eyes, backing up towards the wall behind him underneath the bed.

The six mares looked at each other in confusion, but concern. The pony known as Twilight walked up towards Kyle, as she was also getting a little worried for the colt. With a concerned tone, she asked, “Are you alright, sweetheart?”

Kyle then freaked out that the ponies could talk, before he crawled backwards still shaking, “Get back! Stay away from me!”

“Whoa, whoa,” Twilight said. “It’s okay. Everything’s going to be alright.” She then reached out her hoof for him while Kyle looking away from her, “Hey, you don’t have to be scared. I won’t hurt you.” The colt then tried crawling away from them all, but Twilight grabbed him and pulled him out from underneath the bed with her magic, and pulled him over for a hug, and gently rubbed his back. “Shhhhhh shhhhhh… Just relax.” Kyle then leaned against Twilight’s foreleg and nuzzled with her chest. Twilight then smiled motherly while seeing the poor colt cuddle with her fur.

“Do you remember what happened before waking up here?” Twilight asked.

Kyle nodded, and then replied while still shake, “I was a completely different species before waking up like this.”

“A completely different species?” the rainbow maned pegasus asked. “Like what? A griffon or dragon?”

“No,” Kyle replied.

“What species were you? And where did you come from?” Twilight asked, while hugging the colt.

"I... I was originally a human being. And... I’m from Baltimore, Maryland. It’s a country in the United States of America, on the planet Earth," Kyle said, trying to explain where he came from.

“A human?” Twilight asked in confusion.

“Ain’t that the species that Lyra Heartstrings was talkin’ ‘bout?” the orange mare with the southern accent and blonde mane asked.

“But, how did you end up here... like this?” Twilight asked.

“There’s this diamond that sent me here. It was some kind of light greenish blue gem, about... this big. The size of a baseball diamond, but it looked like an eyeball,” Kyle said, motioning his hooves to figure out the shape. “But the last time I saw it, it was broken in half, and it had shards with it.”

“I’m on it!” said the rainbow maned pegasus. She then zoomed out of the room and went to look for it. 30 seconds later, she came back with the broken diamond from Fluttershy’s cottage. She held out the diamond, which was the Crystal Eye of Nightmare, and Twilight took it in her unicorn magic.

“Is this it?” Pinkie Pie asked. Kyle nodded.

“What do you think of it, darling?” Rarity asked.

“Interesting,” Twilight said, inspecting the broken Crystal Eye. “I sense some lunar magic coming from it. But... I’m afraid that it can only be used once. The magic has already been depleted.”

“I’m... stuck like this?” Kyle asked, biting his lip.

“I’m... I’m afraid so,” Twilight said. She then sighed. “But I’m sure we’ll figure something out. Let’s get you out of this place. But first, introductions. My name is Twilight Sparkle.” She then motioned a hoof towards the others. “The baby dragon over there is my assistant, Spike, which you met earlier.” Kyle looked over at Spike, who replied with a nervous chuckle and a wave.

The orange earth pony said, “Ah’m Applejack.”

“I’m Rainbow Dash,” the rainbow maned pegasus said.

“I’m Pinkie Pie!” the pink pony with the cotton candy mane replied.

“I’m Rarity,” the white unicorn with the curly purple mane replied.

“I’m… Fluttershy,” the yellow timid pegasus with the long and silky light pink mane and tail said.

“Can you please tell me your name?” Twilight asked.

"I’m... I’m... I’m Kyle," he replied.

“Kyle?” Twilight asked, until she pondered. “Never heard a name like that, but it’s nice to meet you,” Twilight said sweetly, and then she hugged him again.

Twilight then lifted Kyle up and off the ground where the blanket was, then she took the blanket and put it back onto the bed, until Rarity neatly reset everything it was before Kyle laid on it. Twilight then said, “Let’s get you out of here. It’s not safe for you to be out in this part of the forest.”

“Okay,” Kyle said, but before they left the forest after leaving the castle, Rainbow Dash spoke up.

“But would you guys honestly believe that we would harm a filly or colt that looked like Nightmare Moon, if he or she did have her spirit or not?” Rainbow Dash said.

“Oh, I do concur, dear. That would be a disastrous thing to do so,” Rarity said.

“Do you also know how I’m still alive?” Kyle asked.

“Well, I encountered the same evil that we recently came across a bad pony that almost took over your current body, but much older,” Twilight said.

“Nightmare Moon,” the others said.

“When I first saw him walking downstairs, he looked at me and just ran off screaming and panicking, like I did something to offend, which I didn’t!” Spike explained.

Rarity then looked at the colt hugged by Twilight as she was standing up, “Are you feeling alright, sweetie?”

“I’m… I’m scared,” Kyle said.

“Don’t worry, sugarcube. We’re right here,” Applejack said.

“I’m just nervous how others might react to seeing a human inside this body,” Kyle said.

“You’ll get used to it, darling,” Rarity said. She then looked at Kyle’s flank. “Looks like it’s not just everything that Nightmare Moon almost took over, before Kyle’s spirit came along. Look at his flanks. It’s a good thing he didn’t have hers along.”

All of the ponies looked at Kyle’s flanks, including Kyle himself. Kyle then asked, “What about my... flanks? I’m sorry, I’m just used to hips or thighs.”

“That makes sense,” Spike said. “Let me guess, humans are bipedal like me, right?” Kyle nodded.

“Well, Kyle,” Twilight said. “Nightmare Moon had her cutie mark, a white crescent moon over a blotch of purple, but it looks like you’ve somehow bonded with my DNA when your spirit, including both your mind and soul entered your body, and gave you life again. It would seem that you are just going to have to find your mark on your own.”

“My mark?” Kyle asked.

“Your cutie mark, darling,” Rarity said. “Basically, it’s a mark that represents your special talent, which is the trait you’re professionally good at.” She then showed her cutie mark of three blue diamonds. “For example, my cutie mark represents my love and inspiring traits for fashion.”

“My cutie mark represents my talent for planning parties and making ponies happy!” Pinkie said, showing off her three balloons, as two were blue, and one was yellow.

“My cutie mark represents helpin’ out at my family’s Apple Farm,” Applejack said, showing off her cutie mark of three red apples.

“M-my cutie mark represents my love for animals, and how much care they need,” Fluttershy said, showing off her cutie mark of three pink butterflies.

“My cutie mark represents my love for speed and racing!” Rainbow Dash said, showing off her cutie mark of a cloud shooting out a rainbow colored lightning bolt underneath. “You saw how fast I zoomed out of here and back. I would’ve been here sooner, but I didn't know which room of Fluttershy’s cottage the diamond was in.”

“And my cutie mark represents how good at magic I’m good at,” Twilight said. “Ponies are normally able to get their cutie mark at their younger age, kinda like you or older, but it just takes time for them to be discovered. Now, how about if we get out of here?” Kyle nodded.

“We better keep a close eye on Kyle," Rarity said. “It’s so that he’ll have a comfortable journey back.”

“Although, since he’s not really just a copy of Twilight as a colt being controlled by Nightmare Moon, he seems okay by my book. I just hope other ponies might understand clearly,” Rainbow Dash said, gently rubbing his head with her hoof.

“He’s still young, Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said. “It may take time for that to happen. But now, we need to focus on getting Kyle through Ponyville, and out of sight from any other pony in Ponyville since he’s still new to this place, and possibly nervous.”

All of them, except for Kyle, thought of something. They couldn’t come up with anything at the moment, until Twilight thought of something, “Okay, we’ll just walk straight towards the library, and we won’t have to worry about the ponies seeing him, but except a few won’t mind. Of course, I’ll have to watch over him just as we’re about to leave the Everfree Forest.”

“That's a good idea,” Spike said. “Well, we should get going.”

“Good idea,” Applejack said. “There are a lot of dangerous critters here, and we don’t wanna disturb any of them. Let’s go.” Then the eight of them headed out of there. Kyle had a hard time trying to catch up with the others, until he kept tripping. Twilight then used her magic to pick him up, and placed him on her back. Then they all left.

Twilight then saw Kyle hiding underneath her mane, and smiled warmly as she kept walking.





It took Twilight and the group a while to get to the Golden Oaks Library without drawing attention, since Twilight kept Kyle out of sight from other ponies as they went through town by having him hide underneath her mane. As soon as they got in, Spike closed the door since he was the last one in and then walked back over to the group. “Okay, we’re clear,” he said.

“And just in time as well,” Twilight said.

Kyle looked around to see some boxes . He was confused on that and asked, “Twilight? Why are we in a library, and what’s with the boxes?”

“Spike and I are moving in, sweetie. We live here now,” Twilight said. “There’s a bedroom upstairs. It’s just gonna take us some time to get settled in. Now, we should continue unboxing some stuff.”

No sooner than did Kyle expect, his stomach growled loudly, making him blush nervously, then he sat on his haunches and put both his hooves on his stomach. He then said, “Sorry. I haven’t eaten anything since lunchtime yesterday.”

“Looks like you definitely need something to eat,” Twilight said. “Spike, why don’t you get started on preparing lunch for him, and maybe for us when we finish?”

“Well, since you’ve said so, I might as well get started on making it,” Spike said. “Don’t worry, Kyle. I’ll make you a nice big platter for you.” Spike then went into the kitchen.

Kyle looked around to see the others helping Twilight move in. Kyle somehow received his lunch which were two tomato, cucumber and lettuce sandwiches with white bread. “Thank you,” Kyle said, as he took his sandwiches and ate both of them. After 2 or 3 minutes, Kyle finished his sandwiches, and he was now full.

When they all finished unboxing and sorting everything, Twilight walked over towards Kyle, but she and the others saw him sitting on the couch sniffing. Worried about him, Twilight went over to him and saw small tears rolling down his cheeks.

“Kyle? What’s wrong, sweetie?” Twilight asked, sitting on the couch next to him, and pulling the poor colt towards her for a hug and rubbing his back.

“Y-You’ve been s-so n-nice to me,” Kyle sobbed. “N-Nobody’s ever b-been so n-nice to m-me.”

Twilight then thought of a question, and then looked down at him, “Sweetheart? Is something bothering you?”

“Like I said, I was from Baltimore, Maryland on Earth. Three months ago, my parents were in Europe for a business trip, until my Aunt Paulista, Uncle Vincent, and my mean cousin Brent took me in. But instead of caring for me, my aunt, uncle and cousin treated me more like a slave than a family member, and abused me with fear and carelessness. I was forced to cook and clean for them, but sometimes my cousin would bully me and beat me, and they would barely feed me. But one night, I was kidnapped by a crook lady and forced me to steal back the diamond I mentioned before. I miss my mommy and daddy since they came home from work, and I… I… I…” His eyes then started tearing up. He then said, “I’ll... never see them again.”

That made the girls and Spike gasp, Rarity and Fluttershy covering their mouths with their hooves. Twilight tightened her hug, and rubbed Kyle’s back as he softly began to cry. She said to him, “Shh... Shh... It’s okay.”

Rarity then said, “Those nasty creatures. What kind of mare, stallion and colt would treat their own family member like a useless piece of trash?!”

“I agree!” Fluttershy said angrily. “Nopony should ever treat a member of their family like that! Not ever!”

“I can’t believe they’d do something so offensively abusive like that!” Applejack said.

“So, what are we going to do with the colt, now?” Rainbow asked.

“Twi,” Applejack said after she got her plate of sandwiches. “Don’t ya think we should alert the princess about this?”

“I actually haven’t thought of that!” Twilight said.

“Now’s probably a good time,” Rainbow Dash said.

“Alright,” Twilight confirmed in reply. “It’s now time to write to the princess. Ready, Spike?”

Spike pulled out a quill and a piece of parchment, and prepared to write. He was about to write what Twilight was about to say.

“Dear Princess Celestia,

Last night, when I was gazing at the stars, I suddenly figured I dropped a book from my saddlebags, meaning I left it in the Everfree Forest by mistake, so I went to get it. But suddenly as I got it, I noticed a tunnel underneath the ground, and wondered where it led to. I found out quickly when I fell and slid down that tunnel.

I found myself somewhere deep in the Everfree Forest. I looked around and found a maze that looked like stone walls and bushes with vines covered with flowers that were blooming in the light of the full moon. As I inspected a small stone-hedge up ahead, I saw some mysterious diamond that looked like one of the eyes of the mare your sister became, Nightmare Moon. I suddenly encountered the mare’s ghost, but she suddenly casted a maternity spell on me, but I didn’t feel anything.

I then had to head on back home to help Spike finish unpacking everything in our new library. But as I was walking, I was starting to get really hungry for some reason. And the straps on my saddlebag started to feel a little too tight. But I was surprised on what I saw when I was about to loosen the straps. I became a pregnant mare. Nightmare Moon somehow wanted to possess the foal with her spirit so that she can retake Equestria.

I asked my friends to help me deliver the foal, after I explained what happened with me.

I know, you’re probably thinking that Nightmare Moon is back for revenge due to a cult of ponies that worship her magically, but from what we all heard, and that his story is too detailed to be a lie, he used to be a completely different species called a human, but he was 6 years old and his name is Kyle, but he’s really a unicorn colt with the boy’s spirit, including both his mind and soul. And according to him, he arrived here in the form I’ve given birth too, until he fully aged up into the age he originally was, and made some resemblance to me. Don’t engage in any violence. We don’t need to cause another panic, or give the colt anymore trouble. He’s had a hard time, so hopefully, you’ll know what to do and respond as soon as possible if you receive this message.

Signed, your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle”

Spike finished writing, rolled it up, and blew his emerald green flames on it. “There. Now all we can do now… is wait.”

“Um, Twilight?” Kyle asked. “Where’s the bathroom? I have to go like… really bad.”

“It should be somewhere upstairs,” Twilight said.

“I'll take him, darling,” Rarity said. She then used her magic to pick up Kyle and place him on her back since he couldn’t walk like a pony still, and then the two of them went upstairs to the bathroom. The sound of the door closing came from upstairs in the bathroom.

“So, how long will it take for the princess ta respond?” Applejack asked. But then, a flash of golden light appeared in the room, surprising the five mares and Spike. Standing in front of the entrance was Princess Celestia, but she had a glare on her face.

She had a light fuchsiash gray fur coat, a overflowing mane and tail colored of a rainbow with streaks of light cerulean, light turquoise, very light cobalt blue, and pale heliotrope, pale light grayish magenta eyes, and she had a gold necklace, a gold tiara, and gold hoof shoes on all four hooves.



“Where is he?!”

The Mane 6 were in really deep trouble now…
