//------------------------------// // I just got here // Story: Father Night 2 // by EverlastingKnightmare //------------------------------// Ever since that day I had to help with the stars every night. It was one of those jobs that reminded me of Lulu and I loved it. Having magic in a non-magical world helps at point, I pull pranks on my brother and Austin, I sneak into movies, all that fun stuff. Heh, I haven't grown up a bit. I still wonder about the time difference between here and Equestria and if it is like it is in those stories where its a year here for a day there. I keep this in the back of my mind as I watch the night sky hopping she was alright. "You know," I jumped and turned to who was talking. It was a tall man wearing a dark robe. "There is a way there, I've done it before. World jumping." I raised a eyebrow at him. "So you know?" He nodded and smiled. "To be honest with the kind of life you lived you don't belong here." I was confused on what he was saying. "I know how you finish the stars and all that and its because your here. If you die here then the stars will never be finished. So I want to make a deal." I sat down getting ready to listen to the strange man. "I'll send you to Equestria if you promise never to come back." I stared at him and pulled out my cell-phone. "What are you doing?" I got on facebook. Hello everyone, Connor here saying that I'm.......I'm leaving. It's hard to leave you all behind like this but I have to do what I must to make sure this world stays normal. I must be honest with you, ever since that day they took Lulu from me I have been making sure the stars and the whole night are normal. I can't keep this up for if I die here the night will never be complete. Leaving is the hardest thing for me right now but it must happen, and besides I get to see Lulu again. This is Mr.Connor Cauchy signing off. Or as you all got to calling me "Father Night." I closed my phone and looked at him. "Give me a few more minutes to see what everyone says." He nodded and looked up at the sky. It wasint five seconds before my phone rang and I picked it up. "Hey Austin..." "Dude what the hell? Where are you going?" "Well you could say that im going home." "Home huh? Let me guess. You're going after Luna?" "You know me to well." We both laughed. "Well I'll tell everyone where you're going so you don't have to reply to two million things before you go." "You're too kind." "I hope I see you again. If not then I guess this is good-bye." "Let's not have any of that. I'll find a way to see you and everyone again. I promise." We said our good-byes and I hung up. "Alright....Let's go." The man looked at me and smiled. "I have to stay, you on the other hoof are going." I nodded slowly and got up. "Now close your eyes and open them after five seconds." I nodded and closed my eyes. I felt witless for those five seconds just because I staring into darkness. I opened them to find myself in a forest. It looked to be about the same time here as it did on earth because the moon shone brightly in the sky. "That's my girl." I smiled then suddenly realized something. I bought my arm up to my face and sighed. I moved it away from my face to see it covered in very dark fur and a watch with a strap as dark as my fur. "So I'm a pony..." I looked behind me to see a pair of large dark wings with some sorta decoration on the base of each. "Cool." I laughed and gave them a flap. "I could get use to this!" I started floating and then started flapping them some more and was soon about as high as the trees. I looked around to see where I was and to my surprise wasn't far from Ponyville. "Oh. Well that's helpful." I adjusted my wings and started moving forward slowly then started speeding up. I was soon speeding towards the small town, I tried to slow down but in doing so I crashed next to none other then Fluttershy's cottage. "Ow..." I mumbled getting up. I was again surprised to see I took no damage. "R-Rainbow Dash? Is that you? Did you crash again?" I flinched as Fluttershy walked around the corner behind me. "Um no, my name is....is...." Oh no. I forgot to name myself! Oh wait! "My name is Father Night! You can call me Night though." I turned to her and smiled warmly. "Oh well, are you alright?" I looked myself over, I was wearing a dark robe that covered my flank and my tail was a mix of black and red, but I saw no cuts. "It looks like I am. Wow." I laughed and looked at her. She stared at me for a few moments before gasping. "Y-you have wings and a horn." My eyes shot open as I moved a hoof up to check and like she said I had a horn as well as wings. "Holy moly!" I looked around then back at her to see her bowing. "Um....Can you not do that? Makes me feel bad." She slowly got up. "W-well when somepony has both wings and a horn it means they are royalty. D-do you know the princesses?" I thought a moment then nodded slowly. "Yes in fact I do! I know you to Fluttershy!" She yelped at my sudden outburst. "I don't think you would remember me though. I don't know how long its been here. She looked at me for a moment then gasped. "Your voice! Your that one human that-" I jumped up and nodded. "YES! You remember me!" She yelped again. "Oh, sorry. I just can't wait to see my little girl again!" She giggled a bit. "You're a true father. But it's late and I don't have room for you to sleep here." She turned. "Twilight should be up at this time. Come on." I nodded as she started walking. I stood there for a moment then decided to follow her. The walk was un-eventful except for talking with Shy and watching the stars. As we got closer to the library I could hear Twilight talking with that owl. I swear, I will never be able to remember that owl's name. Shy knocked on the door. "Sorry were closed!" 'Twilight it's Fluttershy!" I heard some moving around then the door opened. "Fluttershy? What are you doing here at this time? If you need a book I'll go get-" "No Twilight, I have a friend here who needs a place to sleep. He's too big for my guest room. Could you give him a place to stay until he can-" "Until I can get some transport to Canterlot?" Fluttershy and Twilight (who had just saw me.) looked at me with a bit of confusion. "Why do you need to get to Canterlot?" Twilight let us in and gasped when she looked at me. "Because I need to go and see my little girls." I smiled warmly at her. Remembering that gasp all too well. Editor's note:
