Cadence took her gaze from the trailer window. "Yes it would seem. I could sense that you and I are intertwined greatly." "So you can't remember very much?" Sirius says trying to pry more answers to his endless questions. "I remember my last day on Equestria and possibly why you have your wings." "Tell me why I have these wings!! Also if I can get rid of them." One of the wings twitches and hits Sirius in the face. "Well possibly a long time ago one of your um creatures." "We are called humans!" "Humans must have come in contact with one of us. There must have multiple interactions, because only one can't give you permanent wings." "Did you say permanent?!!!" "Yes your wings are permanent as far as I know and it seems you have much more transformations ahead of you." Sirius groaned. "I hate heritage." He shot back up. "Tell me about Equestria." "Equestria was a beautiful land that had green fields and forests and wonderful towns! It was paradise. Ponies were always happy and friendly, but my last day was anything except that." "What happened?" "Well these creatures known as changelings. They could shapeshift into almost anything and they fed off love. They were invading all of Equestria after a long hibernation. We couldn't stop them. I remember being put into that pod, but my sister in law Twilight Sparkle had created the entire idea and the design itself. She was the one who saved most of the ponies on Equestria." "Most?" "Some were dragged down the holes to hives screaming. She saved possibly 500 ponies out of millions. I still remember the clawing and scratching on the doors of my room. I don't even know if Twilight Survived it all." "You're the first one anyone has found." "That could mean I am the last pony in existence!" Cadence put her head down in sadness. Sirius walked over to the couch and awkwardly put his arms around her. "Well if I do transform into one of you then I guess you wont be the last!" "That's sweet, but I hope that some survived. I hope maybe I can find my husband." "Your husband?" "Yes his name is Shining Armor he was the Crystal Empires captain of the guard and the love of my life." "I'm sure everyone is fine! I mean its just hard to find everyone." "You mean everypony." "No I mean everyone." "You humans are weird." Everything that followed happened so quickly. Armed military officers came flying through the windows of the trailer and the door pointing guns at us shouting and screaming. "GET ON THE GROUND NOW! HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!" One goes over and grabs Cadence violently. "I SAID ON THE GROUND!" Sirius with all the courage he could muster tackled the soldier. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" He was about ready to punch the soldier square in the face, but he was stopped by someone. "I think violence is something we can avoid here." It was a woman about age 30 brown hair. "And who the hell are you?" Sirius says getting up and pushing a gun being pointed at him out of the way. This of course led to more guns being pointed at him. "I am the head research scientist of the P-Wing. My name is Sophie Rackles." "Your kidding me. Please time your not!" "The daughter of Mary Rackles yes. Or as you like to call her miss grumples." "he-hehe. So um what are you doing here?" "I'm here to make sure you don't get shot. We have put a lot of money in you and I'd rather not see it go to waste." "Money in me? What do you mean?" "Come with me and I will explain." Cadence goes to follow, but is held back. Sirius stops. "I go she goes. She like my new mom so she has to come!" Sophia rolls her eyes. "Fine." Cadence walks up to me. "Thank you. I guess this makes you my little foal now!" "Ehhh not so sure about that." "Well in human years your 18, BUT in pony years your not even a day old! Maybe I should get you into a big puffy pink diaper soon!" "Umm lets not and say we did?" "Ok for now." Cadence and Sirius head off and enter the black SUV that was waiting. Next Sirius hears Sophia shout. "If your worried about your car it will towed home." "Well that answer one of thousand question." "Where are we heading?" "The base we built to monitor you and your erm mother." "How long have you been doing this?!" Sirius Clambers "Since the procedure at age 3." "What procedure?" Cadence asks. "We recreate the pony DNA sequence and replace a humans with it. It's very painful if your sedated. Fortunately you had about 10 times the amount you should normally have. Fortunately the pony DNA protected you from the damage." "You know every time you open your mouth. I find myself hating you and this little organization more and more." Sirius says almost preparing to strangle Sophia. "We are here."
