The rest of that day Fixinit stayed on the couch until dinner, Spike stayed in the kitchen babbling over Rarity and Twilight stayed in her studies. Nopony talked during dinner and after that they all parted ways, Fixinit slept on the couch, Twilight slept in her room, and Spike slept in his basket. The next day Fixinit got up early to leave the house; he didn’t want to talk to Twilight before her date with Silver.
“Spike, you coming?” he said, the dragon was up and ready in a matter of seconds.
“Yep!” and with that they set off, the entire way there Spike noticed that Fixinit had a look of deep thought on his face, it never faltered.
-----
I was working on a new outfit that I thought would look stunning on a white mare with purple hair when I heard the doorbell ring.
“One moment, dearie!” I yelled to the front, I carefully set down my tools and fabric and trotted to the front “hello, Fixinit. What can I help you with?”
“I just need a gem, I owe Spike one and I didn’t have any on hand. I was just wondering if I could have one.”
“Sure, how big?” I walked over to one of my many chests of gems.
“Oh, just a normal sized one is fine.” I found a very generic jewel that I knew I could spare.
“How’s this?” I held it in front of him.
“That will do perfectly.” He took it in his magical grip and put it in Spikes hand, Spike had hearts in his eyes and his tongue was hanging from his mouth.
“I think he wants more crystals.” I said with a chuckle, Fixinit looked down at the baby dragon and saw the look on his face, Fixinit smirked.
“Or something else.” He said in a… funny tone.
“What dear?”
“Oh, nothing, but I noticed that this place is much quieter than it should be. Where’s Fed and Sweetie?” he looked around as if searching for them.
“Out on another adventure, something about teaching Scootaloo to fly.”
“Who’s Scootaloo?”
“One of Sweeties’ friends, a Pegasus that is too small to fly effectively at this point.”
“That’s too bad. Do you need any help with anything?” he must have been thinking of paying me back for the small gem.
“I should be able to manage. But you work with time turner, right?”
“Yes, but its Sunday so I don’t have work.”
“Oh, I know, but I have a malfunctioning sewing machine, could you take a look?”
“I would be more than happy to.” he followed me to my work room.
“This is the one, it won’t start up and I can't figure out why.”
“Let’s see.” He opened the machine and started playing with the gears, then he went and worked the pedal with his hoof, some gears spun and others did not “I see your problem, there is a piece of fabric caught in the mechanics, it should only take a second to fix, hold on.” His horn lit up and a piece of cloth floated out.
“Thank you, Fixinit. You’re a life saver; I would be down a fourth production if this one hadn’t gotten fixed. How can I repay you?”
“The gem was enough.” He assured me.
“The gem was a gift, I must pay you back.” I ran out of the room, got a small brown bag, filled it with bits, then ran back in “here.” I hoofed him the bag.
He opened it, looked inside then hoofed it back “I can't take this.”
“Why?”
“It’s just too much”
“Oh no, I insist, you really helped me out today, this is the least I can do for you.”
“Fine I’ll take… half of this.” Where have I heard that before?
“No, take it all. Please!”
“One third.”
“Two thirds.”
We were now practically touching muzzle to muzzle, staring intently into each other’s eyes. “One… fourth. Final offer!”
“Fine.” And with that I split the coins and put one fourth into the bag, he took the bag and thanked me on the way out.
After they were gone I got the strangest sense of déjà vu.
-----
I woke up this morning and both Fixinit and Spike were gone, I hoped that they hadn’t left like Dillon did, then I panicked a little, then I calmed down for my date with Silver. It was only a few minutes away and I wasn’t nearly ready. I quickly brushed my mane, polished my horn, and then set out for Olives Garden.
When I got there I was two minutes’ late, Olives Garden was an inside/outside restaurant so some of the tables were in front of the restaurant. When I walked closer I noticed Silver Rain sitting at one of the outside tables with his face on the table. I walked up behind him.
“Why is your head on the table?” it shot up and looked at me.
“y-you actually came?” he stuttered in disbelief.
“Of course, it wouldn’t be very nice of me to blow you off.”
“I just didn’t think you would actually come. I acted so weird back at the library.”
“Oh, no, it’s fine, trust me, it’s hard to express inner emotions.”
“I know.” I sat down across from him at the table.
There was a large period of time where neither of us said anything.
“So, how should we start this off?” I asked.
“Well… I guess we should talk about ourselves. What do you like to do?”
“I like to read, I like to go to the fairs, I like to meet new ponies. What do you like?”
“I like to know what to do next…” he looked down a little, then another awkward silence.
“Ok. Um, what do you want to eat?” I picked up my menu.
“I’ll have the dandelion sandwich.”
“Me too, waiter.” I called the nice looking server over to us.
“Yes, madam?”
“Two dandelion sandwiches, please.”
“Ok, I’ll be right out with them in a moment.” He left to place our orders.
Another silence occurred. It was starting to get on my nerves, actually.
“Silver, this isn’t working.” He got a scared look.
“What, what is it?”
“We aren’t learning anything about each other at all. Mostly, we’re just sitting here silently. Let’s take another approach to this.”
“And how would that be?” he calmed down a little.
“Just act like you would around anypony else, your family, your friends, roommates, anypony.”
“I don’t have anypony else.” He looked down a little.
“What? You must have acquaintances of some kind.”
“No, you’re actually the first pony I’d talked to in a long while.” He looked down further.
“Where’s your family?” I was starting to worry.
“I don’t know.” He looked down even more.
“That’s terrible.” I held his hoof.
“I can handle it though.” His voice didn’t show any signs of sadness, the fact that he was looking at his lap was the only giveaway “I’ve been traveling my whole life, whenever I stopped to rest in a town or city something bad would happen and I would be forced to leave. I have never known love, only loss. You are the longest mare friend I have ever been with.”
“But it hasn’t even been a day!”
“I know.”
I felt so sad for this stallion, he had been alone his entire life, never to know the joys of love or even friendship, the thing I was sent here to study. I now realized exactly how alone this guy had been, I started to cry. A tear fell, he saw it hit the table and looked up.
“Please, don’t cry.” He said kinda urgently.
“b-b-but you’ve been s-so lonely.” I cried some more, then he started to cry, too.
“d-don’t c-c-cry.” Then he started crying uncontrollably, not loud or a lot, he just couldn’t stop.
“Why are you crying?”
“What?” he blushed a little “I'm not crying!” he sobbed a little more.
“Yes you are. There’s a tear. Come here.” I moved around the table and hugged him, after a second of hesitation he hugged back; we sat there for the next few minutes just trying to calm down.
We calmed down and a minute later our food came. We ate and thought. I need to help this guy; he needs somepony to be with.
Another personality incarnate. Embodiment of sadness, sorrow, and lonliness.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
you make me laugh!!
2358257
It beats beating off in the bush. Or is it beating the bush?
2358338
wait, what?
2358451
You know, the saying, "No need to beat around the bush." Plus, I just read a chapter in a story that involved clop. Put 2 and 2 together...
2358549
nasty.
2358595
Oh, get your mind out of the gutter. I was having a bad day. So I read a new chapter from a story I've been reading it had minor clop in it, but the majority of it was decently funny. I don't clop to clopfics. That's what the rest of the internet is for
2358680
i dont usualy read clopfics either, but when i have a particularly bad day, like you must have, i do read something like that for the excitement. but never mind clopfics, what were we talking about? oh yeah, i was laughing my ass off.
LOLOLOL
2358706
Oh, the internet can be such a comforting place
2358811
yes it can... heheh
2358918
Random note/fact:
Did you know that when someone has mpd, there is a host personality, or the original personality that is most active, which, in this case, Dillon himself. It makes you wonder where 'Dillon's' personality is. So, just throwing that out there.
2359055
duh, why do you think that Dillon doesnt have his english accent on all the time?
2359057
That's something I'm entirely aware of. I'm just saying that since Dillon's personalities are "living" where "his" personality at? Because when it comes to mpd, there's always a plus one.
2359106
... good question... i could tell you what i know/think but that would give you info that you would then use to figure out whats going on... i do say, good show, sir!!
2359150
To be honest, I was simply asking just out of curiosity. I had no actaul intention on using said information at all until you said I would. It was also a simple observation crossed with actual fact, which got me wondering about the "host/original personality". FYI
2359229
well sorry if i came/come across as hostile, i was simply congradulating you on your effort, i was considering telling you and then i thought better of it. you almost had me.
2359254
You were the least bit hostile. And thanks for condoning me, but again I wasn't trying to trick you into anything. Just some simple obsevations. So, assuming Dillon's self or original personality comes to light, only a few questions remaim amiss. What happened to him? Where has he been? Unless the 4th has been breached, how the fuck are his other personalitie s even capable of being in the plain of existence with plausible backstories? Pardon my French by the way. These are just but the fe observations made that I only have a few possible answers for. *Sighs* I need some coffee.
2359341
then drink some, but remember, its technically a drug.
and on the point of our conversation, i am sorry that i seemed hostile, even in the slightest.
again, I WILL TELL NOTHING!! it will all be explaned eventually.
2359387
So are some herbal teas, but you don't see me drinking that. And its an enticing drug, one that comes in many delicious flavors, like marijuana (don't use).
Again, you were NOT hostile at all. A bit rash, but that's about it.
I was not trying to get anything out of you. This is just me letting you know that you have a reader who is actually paying attention. A lot of readers don't get that.
2359450
just want you to know, im can be kinda clueless sometimes, if i dont get it after the first few comments just right out tell me. please.
2359491
I was pretty much overexhagerating on how much I love coffee. You said its technically a drug, which it comes in different flavors(hazlenut, french vanilla, irish blend, hershey, etc.) So I decided to compare coffee to weed, which can be blended with different ingredients. Both are considered drugs and come in different flavors. Which makes coffee a drug that comes in diffrrent flavors that I love. An.y questions?
2359547
i understood that part, i was talking about the part where you said that i didnt seem harsh... sorry i can say the most random things at the most random times... now can we get away from this weird conversation about weed and coffee?
2359583
You didn't seem harsh at all. Anyways, I got another story idea.
2359627
if you wish, please tell me.
2359649
Again, this is just an idea. Details can come later.
A man who lives in the future of our world (a 100 or so years per say) creates a device that can allow travel between universes. He created this device to start over from the life he has had. When he uses it, he ends up in Equestria but in the time where Celestia and Luna are still fillies and their mother, Faust, is the ruler at the time. After some short explorations, the man is brought to Faust after making his presence known to the equines. When explanations and introductions were given, he is allowed to stay at Canterlot so that Faust can have someone help watch over Celestia and Luna as they grow up after she leaves, which he gladly accepts after meeting them. After years of proving his worth Faust finds the man worthy enough to have the power the man will need to continuously watch over the two as a friend they'll always have, the father they never had, and the protector that will do whatever possible to keep them safe.
Ask away any questions that you may or might have about this.
2359812
i feel this one is very solid on its story line, you might want to go more in depth on cellestia and luna, maybe tell why luna was punished, i wouldnt recomend making faust their parent figure, she was the writer, but there were many other factors that made mlp what it is. and finaly i think that this male figure should have some importantce in the end, make him some reference to a real person, someone of high stature that everyone knows.
if the no human thing was not a prank im so sorry, this sounds like a great fic, i would love to read it.
>>
IIve actually considered some of those factors. f the human thing is a joke, I'll consider that to be my first fic. I'll also consider the guy being some type of figure or stature. Did you have anything in mind?
2359942
my mind keeps going back to fausts husband/boyfriend/relative... disregard it though, just my mind being itself. if you have any better ideas, i encourage you to use them instead.
2360098
Thanks. And this still in the I'm-still-brainstormng-and jotting-ideas-down phase to make this better
2360211
well dont worry, it took me a month to come up with the fine details of kmn... so take your time!!
