Chapter 5: Home


"Ow, my entire body. What happened?" Lan had just woken up. "Well damn, that's right."

"I see your up. How was your sleep?" Twilight had just came through the door.

"Good, um where am I?"

"My room, you had been out for a day. Well under 24 hours but you know." With that sentence, Lan realized that the battle had taken on near nightfall. Twilight either sleep with him, or in another room.

"Want dinner?"

"Sure?"

Twilight smiled. "I almost forgot, Pinkie is going to throw you a party."

"Oh, ok. I don't really like parties but i'll go."

"That's the spirit! What do you want?"

"Surprise me." Lan didn't know what ponies eat, the show only said they eat apples and such. This should be interesting.

~~~~~~~

"So Nightwing failed? I knew that would happen."

"If you knew that would happen, why did you send him?"

"... I have my reasons."

"What next sire, do we send out a squad to take him out?"

"Maybe a little mayonnaise on the side."

"... What?"

"No, we have to kept spying on him, find his tacos."

"... What?"

"Sorry my mind is on tacos right now. His weaknesses, they must be found. Send Nightwing to find them."

"... What?"

"What do you mean what? Send Lum to find them, what do you want to do it?"

"... Wha... Nevermind... Yes my lord."

"Also bring me som..."

"Tacos. On it."

~~~~~~~

"That was amazing! What was that?" Lan was full, he had eaten way to much food than Twilight had expected.

"Hay and flower sandwiches. You never had one?"

"Most amazing food ever!"

"I can tell, you emptied my supplies!" Twilight smiled.

"Sorry, hadn't eaten in a while. So what now." Lan had said but then yawned. "I guess bedtime. Wheres my room?"

"Oh, your room? Um, you see." Twilight blushed, Lan knew where this was going. "There is no spare room. Hehe."

"Then where do I sleep... Oh, I can sleep on the couch. I lived like that." Lan had just avoided that.

"... Ya, I just didn't know! Let me get you some blankets."

"Sounds great!" Lan pondered, "When is the party?"

"Next night."

"Cool."

"Twilight, you got a letter!" Spike came rushing in the living room. "Its from Princess Celestia!"

Twilight instantly got the letter using her magic and stared at it. 6 words.

'I'll be taking Lan, don't worry.'

When she looked back up, Lan was gone.

~~~~~~~ 

Lan was now in a crystal room, by himself. He hadn't expected this, so he braced for the worse.

"Why hello there. You probably know who I am, as I know who you are, Lan Jenkins."

"Ah, yes! Your princ..." Lan froze, she had just called him by his real last name. "How did you...?"

"I had a little chat with someone. I might be asking you what your doing."

"I'm sorry, if you want me to leave, I can understand."

"Hehehe, why would I want you to leave?"

"I thought...?"

"You have a important job you know, a very important one indeed." Celestia was now smiling. "We'll stay in touch."

"Wait whats this job?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Celestia look like she had a idea. "Oh, and keep Twilight safe. You'll need her."

"Wha..." Lan felt stretched, for he had been teleported.

"You know you could have kept this place secured, it's way to easy to get in here."

"Shut it, you know your part in this. Lets keep it that way."

"Poor little Celestia, all I have to do is wait. Not that hard. But then again, what will be in it for me?"

"Freedom."

"And chaos."

~~~~~~~

Lan appeared above Twilight's bed, of course the coordinates had to be wrong.

"Wait wha..." Lan crashed right next to Twilight, good thing she was still awake.

"AAAHHH, LAN?!"

"The one and only." Lan said while rubbing his head.

"... So how was your talk with Celestia?"

"Good," Lan remembered that she knew his real identity. "So um..."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot."

"Why did your parents name you Lan? That just seems like a weird name."

"It is." Lan thought fast, too fast. He is getting too good at it. "My real name is Lightouch." Weird, but Lan could deal.

" Ligh-Touch? Hm, that's a interesting name. You want to go to bed?"

"Please."

Lan drifted off, he didn't care for the fact that he was sleeping with Twilight. With one final thought, the urges of sleep hit him.

"Curse you, you damn fanfic writer. Made me like Twilight." Lan enjoyed fanfics more than food, just a little fun fact.
