Newcomers

A purple unicorn known as Twilight Sparkle was reading one of her books. Twilight lived in Ponyville’s library. She loved to read her books. She had books of every kind: magic, history, and for entertainment…she read each of them at least twice; sometimes she reads more than that. She had been called an egghead a lot by her friend Rainbow Dash. She does not care that her friend called her an egghead, because she loved to read. She had let Rainbow Dash borrow some of her books.

“Twilight, you’re going to be late meeting with your friends!” called out a voice of a young male dragon known as Spike. Spike was her bookkeeper and assistant. Spike was the only dragon that lived in Ponyville. Twilight didn't hear him for she was too involved with her book. The young dragon picked up an ink bottle and sat it down.

“Spike, put that back right where you found it! You know how I like thing in their right place.” said Twilight, still reading her book. Spike put the inkbottle back and walked over to Twilight.

“Twilight, you’ve read that book fourteen times now! What about your friends?” said Spike as he rolled his eyes. Twilight sat the book down and went upstairs to brush her mane. Spike went upstairs with her. Next to Twilight’s bed was her pet owl sleeping the day away.

“Spike, you had no reason to worry. I would never forget about my friends.” replied Twilight as she brushed her mane. Spike just rolled his eyes again. When Twilight was all done, she went back downstairs and made sure she was not forgetting anything. Twilight was ready to face the day.

It was a beautiful, afternoon day in Ponyville. There was not even a cloud in the sky, and the day was not too hot. Twilight and Spike walked down the road to hang out with their friends at Sugar Cube Corner. Twilight was very happy to see her friends after a long day reading a good book. Every pony in Ponyville knew each other very well. Twilight liked the small town feel, and it was easy for her to make friends. When they got to their meeting place, all of Twilight’s friends were there. There was the blue Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash, a yellow Pegasus named Flutter Shy, an orange earth pony named Apple Jack or AJ for short. Then there was the white unicorn named Rarity. The last one was the pink earth pony known as Pinkie Pie, who was in the store somewhere. Rainbow Dash loved danger, adventures, flying, and being awesome most of all. Flutter Shy was very quiet and liked to take care of woodland creatures. Rarity as her own fashion store where she made and sold dresses, Apple Jack was a hardworking pony because she lived on an apple orchard. Pinkie Pie loved sweets, parties, and pulling jokes on other ponies. Spike sat at the front of the store eating some cake while Twilight and her friends talked about life, work and other things. Sugar Cube Corner was where Pinkie worked.

“So Rainbow Dash, you got your work done today quicker than a group of young fillies who always gets themselves into trouble.” said AJ as she gave Rainbow a gentle punch.

“Yeah, it was nothing. Those clouds have no idea who they were dealing with.” replied Rainbow as she was just getting warmed up.

“Yes Rainbow, good job, but don’t let your ego get the better of you again.” said Twilight with a slight laugh in her voice, while Rarity was talking to Flutter Shy about her new line of dresses that she just made and sold. Flutter Shy does not wear dresses very often, but she does like to hear about what great things her friends are doing.
Twilight wanted to have the chance to talk to Flutter Shy, so she came up to her and asked, “So Flutter Shy, you got some new animals you’re taking care of?” Flutter Shy loved to talk about her little creatures.

“Oh yes, I’m taking care of the otters that got hurt a few days ago!” said Flutter Shy in her sweet kind voice. When Twilight first met Flutter Shy, she wouldn’t even talk to her; however, she would talk to Spike. Apple Jack was hoof-wrestling with Rainbow Dash for an unknown reason. Pinkie Pie came out of the back room, all ready to hang out with her friends and eat sweets with them.

“Hey every one, what’s up!!” said Pinkie with a loud voice. All her friends waved at her, while AJ and Rainbow Dash were still hoof wrestling. Once Applejack had beaten Rainbow Dash, she started to talk with Pinkie Pie while Rainbow Dash was brooding over the fact she lost to AJ.

“Did y’all hear that Vinyl was holding a rave party next week?” asked Applejack, knowing that Pinkie loved parties.

“Oh yes, I did AJ! I’m thinking about going myself.” repelled Pinkie, jumping up and down in excitement.

“AJ, do you even know what a rave is?” asked Rainbow Dash, surprised that Apple Jack would like that kind of thing.

“No idea! All I know is that Vinyl asked to buy some of my family’s apples.” said Applejack, feeling proud of the huge sell that her family had got. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

“Rainbow, what is a rave?” asked Flutter Shy, looking at Rainbow Dash and down at the ground shyly.

“Trust me Flutter, you would hate it.” replied Rainbow Dash, placing her hoof on Flutter Shy’s head and gave her mane a little rub. Suddenly, the doors to Sugar Cub Corner opened up and two ponies came in. One of them was a white unicorn and had a sparkling, blue mane, while the other one was a grayish earth pony. Earth ponies couldn’t us magic or fly, because they had no horn or wings. They were some of the best musicians in Ponyville. The beautiful unicorn was named Vinyl or DJ while the earth pony was named Octavia. They sat down at one of the tables and began to talk amongst themselves about music and upcoming performances. Vinyl was a lot like Rainbow Dash because she also loved doing awesome things. Vinyl was very well-known. She was the DJ at the wedding of Twilight’s older brother, Shining Armor. Octavia was one of the greatest cellists in Ponyville. She was lead cello at the Grand Galloping Gala last year. Apple Jack walked over to the table where Vinyl was sitting.

“Hey there Applejack! How is it going?” asked Vinyl as she used her magic to summon her sunglasses.

“Oh I’m doing well! Say, when are you going to stop by the farm to pick up your order?” asked Applejack as she patted Vinyl’s hoof.

“Sometime next week I need meet my glow stick dancer coming from Canterlot.” replied Vinyl as she pumped her hoof in the air.

“Oh Vinyl, I can’t believe you want some pony to take the train all the way from Canterlot to dance in your party.” said Octavia as she sipped her tea.

“Well Tavi, you do the same thing when some pony wants you to play cello for their party.” said Vinyl as she gave her roommate a little push. Spike walked over to Twilight and the rest of her friends, and Applejack walked back over to her table. The rest of them were having a great time, until Spike stopped talking as he shot a green emerald flame out of his mouth; a scroll came out of the flame. Twilight opened it with her magic; it was a letter from Princess Celestia. It read:

Dear Twilight and friends.
I have some great news for all of you. Ponyville will be getting three new citizens today! I want you to make them feel at home, and they also need jobs, I know that Applejack needs help at the farm, so one of them will be working at Sweet Apple Acres. One of them will be working at the party that Vinyl is hosting, while the last one will be helping out Twilight with her studies. They’re not from around here. Also, Twilight, I have a new book for you to read and hopefully your new friends will read it too.

From your Princess Celestia.

“So they’re not ponies?” asked Rarity as she read the letter again.

“It seems that way, Rarity.” said Applejack as she took the letter from Rarity to read it herself.

“Let’s throw them a welcome party!!” shouted Pinkie. Pinkie’s loud voice scared Flutter Shy, and Flutter Shy jumped in the air.

“Well, let’s go over to my place and read about those three coming on the train this afternoon.” Said Twilight as she loved meeting new friends just has much as she loved to read.

“Twilight, I can tell you about the one dancing at the rave.” Said Vinyl as she walked over to Twilight.

“Ok, what do you know?” asked Twilight has she put her hooves together.

“Well. Ok then. The one dancing at the rave is a grey wolf, named Alex.” Said Vinyl as put her shades back on. Twilight’s friends seemed shocked, since, the only wolves they knew of were timber wolves.

Back at Twilight’s place, Twilight and her friends saw the book that Princess Celestia gave Twilight. Rainbow Dash and Flutter Shy were flying over all the others when Twilight read her new book.

“This is the book about a group of creatures known as the Anthromals. They are basically cat and dog like creatures that walk on two paws not four. Anthromals no longer live in their home land.”

“So basically there are cats and dogs that can talk and walk on two legs.” said Twilight trying to see how this could be.

“How are some of these Antromals left in the world?” asked Applejack as she was trying to think of ways to reason that there are some Anthromals coming to Ponyville. Flutter Shy seemed to be happy about getting to see some Anthromals in real life. Pinkie Pie was already planning a welcome party for them. Rarity was thinking about getting them something to wear, Rainbow Dash cared more about they were and not what they wore. Twilight kept reading till she got to their diet.
“Say Everypony the book says that their diet is meat.” said Twilight has she was thinking where could they find meat in Ponyville.

“Sugar Cub, there’s a lot of meat in Ponyville,” Said Applejack has she walked over to the bookshelf.

“What do you mean? There is only fish in the river,” said Twilight has she walked over to Applejack.

“Twilight, Everypony in Ponyville is meat to them. So we could find ourselves in their belly. Everypony but Pinkie Pie froze with fear.

“So why would the Princess send them here? I’ll trust her on this one and you all should do the same thing. Look at Vinyl she is cool with this, so I’ll be cool with it too,” Said Twilight has she got ready to go to the train station to met them. Rainbow Dash knew she could trust the princess with her life, so she was cool with it to. Pinkie Pie loved meeting new ponies so Twilight was thinking that having them here would be fun. Only AJ and Rarity did not like idea, about having Anthromals in Ponyville, and Fluttershy was still scared about the whole idea of meat eaters coming to Ponyville.

Later that afternoon Twilight, Applejack, and Vinyl where waiting for the train to come. Applejack and Rarity did not like the idea but they did trust the princess. It was hour before the train got there.

“So are you ready to meet them?” asked Twilight as she got up from sitting down.

“Yes. I sure am. I’ve waiting for this for senses I last talked to Alex.” Said Vinyl as loud has she could. Applejack did not like the idea of one of them anthromals living at the farm with her and her family.
“Well I’m glad you’re happy about this Vinyl,” Said Applejack has she stomped her hoof down of the floor. The train doors opened and three hooded Anthromals came out of the train, so they could meet the ponies who came to the train station to meet them. The grey wolf Alex walked over Vinyl.

“You must be this Vinyl I have been hearing so much about. I have only been in Canterlot for a week and word says you’re the best DJ in the land,” Said Alex in a calm smooth voice as he shook Vinyl’s hoof.
“Wow Alex, I’m so glad to see you again. I’m very happy that you agreed to dance at my rave party,” said Vinyl has cool as possible. A female leopard walked over to Twilight and stretched her arms.

“Hello Twilight Sparkle, my name is Gia. Your Princess has told me you’re one of her best students. You must be proud,” said the female leopard has she removed her hood to show off her ears. She had big brown eyes and a beautiful smile.

“Thank you very much. I was told you could help me with magic?” asked Twilight as her eyes got bigger.

“After a long talk with your Princess, I think you’re the one going to be helping me, Twilight,” replied Gia as she reached down to pick up the back off from the ground. Twilight simply blush. The male leopard walked over to Applejack with a bag in his right paw.

“Why hello there-”

“It’s Neko. My name is Neko, Applejack,” replied the male Leopard in a soft, but deep voice.

“Well Neko I’m glad to meet you.” Said Applejack as she put out her hoof to shake is paw. Neko reached out with his left paw to shake her hoof.

Neko and Applejack walked down the streets of Ponyville, Everypony was uneasy about Neko being there. Neko was used to other ponies being scared of him. Applejack did not like how quiet the town was. Applejack saw Pinkie pie gathering some party thing from one of the nearby stores. Everypony was unsure if Neko would eat AJ, also they were talking about how Neko shouldn’t be here.

“Say Neko, what kind of things do you like to do for fun?” asked Applejack, because she wanted to break the silence. Neko gave some time to think about it.

“Well Applejack, it’s been a long time since I had fun. I do like martial arts,” replied Neko as he sat his bag down. Applejack heard her stomach growling, so she looked around for somewhere to eat.

“You want to stop and eat something before we get to the farm?” asked Applejack stomping her hoof on the ground.

“That would be nice in fact, Thank you,” said Neko has he reached down to grab his bag. They walked over to one of the nearby places that sold food. Applejack and Neko sat down at one of the tables, and a young blue earth pony mare came out to take their order.

“I’ll order a flower sandwich please,” said AJ, Neko just put his paw in the air. The young mare walked off. Neko opened his bag and pulled out something red with salt on it.

“What’s that you got there Neko?” asked Applejack as she looked very hard at the thing in Neko’s paw. Neko opened up his mouth and biting into the thing he had in his paw, AJ couldn’t help but look at Neko’s teeth.

“Well, I could tell you what it used to be Applejack,” replied Neko with the red thing in his mouth. Applejack shook her head and gave the thing in his mouth a closer look.

“That’s meat you’re eating?”

“Yep. Trust me, You do not want know what this used to be.”
The young mare came back with AJ’s order; the young pony gave Neko a weird look, then she went back to work. AJ was eating her sandwich. Well Neko finished his piece of meat. Applejack just looked at Neko eyes, she saw warmth in them; but she also knew that he had killed lots of little creatures.

“So Neko, what else is in your bag?” asked Applejack has she went to take a bite out of her flower sandwich. Neko licked the salt off his lips.

“I have meat apple seeds,” He said has he licked the salt off his paws. Applejack raised an eye brow.

“What on earth are meat apples?” asked AJ when she finished chewing up her food.

“Well they look like apples, but they taste like meat. So I don’t have to risk hunting in the forest near Ponyville, because I heard there are creatures in there that wouldn’t like being launch. I would very much like to plant them.” He picked up one of the flowers that had fallen out of AJ’s sandwich.

“Neko I would love it if you-d plant them apples,” said Applejack has she got up from the table. Neko just gave her a head nod.

When Neko and Applejack got to the farm there was a younger earth pony with a bow in her mane doing some farm work. When she saw AJ she ran up to her without seeing Neko. When the young pony saw Neko she was scared, but then she was happy to see and get to know AJ’s new friend, because she knew if her sister could trust him, she would trust him. The farm had an apple orchard, a barn, and the main house.

“Hey there, my name is Applebloom what’s yours?” asked the young filly.

“Applebloom this here is Neko, He and his sister will be staying here for awhile,” replied AJ has they walk down to the barn house. When they got inside Neko dropped his bag.

“By chance do you think I can take a nap?” he asked as he sat down on the floor.

“Well you will be staying in my sister’s club house, but for now you can sleep in the barn. Also can we go somewhere tonight, I’d like to get to know you better,” said AJ as she sat in one of the chairs in her house. Neko got up and went outside to sleep.

“AJ do you like that cat creature?” asked Applebloom as she walked over to her big sister.

“Well he is fun to talk to, and he’s kind of cute, if you like cats.” Said Applejack as she blushed; Applebloom just rolled her eyes and walked outside to the barn.

Twilight and Gia were on their way to Rarity’s so that Gia, her brother Neko, and Alex did not have to wear their old grey robes all the time. Twilight was very happy to have somepony else like Gia to talk to about magic and other things like books. When they got to Rarity’s shop Twilight knocked on the door with her hoof.

“Thank you for taking me to yours friend Rarity,” said Gia as she kicked the ground with her paw while she was waited for Rarity to open the door.

“You’re welcome Gia,” replied Twilight as she knocked again. Rarity opened the door and saw twilight first.

“Why hello Twilight, so did the train already come?” asked Rarity as she looked for at Gia.

“It’s nice meet you Rarity,” said Gia has she held out her paw.

“Please come in you two,” said Rarity has she walked in her store. Rarity’s store all of the things you would find in a clothing store, like cloth and mannequins. Gia felt really girly in this store. Gia put her bag down on the floor and stretched her arms and legs. Rarity used her magic to grab her tape measurer, so she could get Gia’s measurements.

“I’m really grateful for this Rarity,” said Gia as she stood still as much as possible.

“Oh anytime, I like making new kind of clothes,” replied Rarity. She grabbed a quill with her magic to write down Gia’s measurements. Then went to go eat up stairs, well Twilight and Rarity talked.

“So what do you think of Gia?” asked Twilight as she walked over to Rarity.

“ She seems to be fine, but I need to get to know her more before I can make whatever she wants to wear. So far I really like her.” Said Rarity as she was drawing some ideas on a piece of paper as to what would look good on Gia. Twilight walked up stairs to see how Gia was doing. When she got up stairs she saw Gia eating something red with salt on it. Twilight never saw that kind of food before, she figured out Gia was eating meat.

“So is that meat your eating there Gia?” asked Twilight as she gave the piece in Gia’s mouth hanging from her pearl white teeth a weird look.

“Yes it Twilight,” repelled Gia.

“So how do you like Ponyville?” asked Twilight as she walked closer to Gia.

“Well Canterlot was very nice, but Ponyville reminds me of where Neko and I grew up.” Replied Gia has she swallowed her meat. Two young fillies walked up to the room where Twilight and Gia were. One was a white Unicorn named Sweetie Belle and an orange Pegasus pony named Scootaloo.

“Say, Twi, what is that?” asked Scootaloo pointing her hoof at Gia. Gia gave the young filly a weird look.

“She’s an Anthromal Scootaloo,” said Twilight has she rubbed her hoof on Scootaloo’s head. Gia stood up, walked over to the young filly and lowered herself down to Scootaloo’s level.

“Hey you should not do such rude things in the future or someone else will not be very happy with you,” said Gia has she so rubbed her paw on Scootaloo’s head.

“So you’re like a giant cat?” asked Sweetie Belle has she wanted to know more things about the giant cat.

“Yes kind of,” replied Gia has she stood back up.

Vinyl and Alex walked over to town hall of Ponyville where the rave was going to be. Octavia was waiting in the town hall for them. Town hall was huge, it could hold almost all of Ponyville. It was a huge circle. Alex just dropped his back to the floor and walked around to see how he was going to make this rave the most awesome dance ever. Vinyl walked over to Octavia and sat next to her.

“Say can we have Alex over dinner sometime Tavi?” asked Vinyl.

“Vinyl what would he eat?” asked Octavia and sighed.

“Oh yeah, Alex doesn’t eat what we eat. What would he eat?” replied Vinyl. She was thinking out loud. Alex went over to his bag and pulled out anther bag. Alex pulled some glow sticks out of that bag. Alex started to swing them by the strings that where attached, he was flicking them every which way, Alex jumped up in the air flicking them as he did a back flip.

“Wow I did not waste my bits; this guy is a good dancer. The way he flings those glow sticks around is so beautiful,” said Octavia has she kept looking at his moves. Alex stopped and walked over to Vinyl.

“So is that what you where looking for?” asked Alex as he sat down on the ground.

“You’re so much better than what you told me,” said Vinyl has she put her hoof around Alex’s neck.

“Thanks Vinyl,” Said Alex has he got up and grabbed both of his bags,“so I need to check in to my room at the hotel so I must go. I’ll see you tomorrow so we can talk about what music we will be playing,” as he walked away.

The Welcome Party

Neko woke up the next Moring and stretched out his legs and arms. When, Applejack opened the barn door and her dog ran over to Neko, he jumped up and grabbed the wooden beam and pulled himself up. Applejack gave Neko a weird look as she looked up at him.

“Are you going to help collect apples today Neko?” asked Applejack.

“Yes, I’m still planning on helping you, but your dog scared me.” Neko said. He jumped off the beam. Neko followed AJ to the apple orchard. The sun was very nice and warm on Neko’s fur after a cold night. Applebloom and her friends were going to help them out, too. Applebloom looked at Neko’s paw prints, but Neko just rolled eyes.

“Ok Neko, I’m going to buck the apples off the tree into the baskets and you’re going to those baskets into the wagon,” Said Applejack as she stomped her hoof to the ground. Neko and walked forward. Applejack kicked the trees with her back hooves and Neko filled each of the baskets and put them in the wagon. Applebloom and her friends were in charge with sorting the bad apples out of the baskets. After a while a red earth pony stallion came down to the orchard to pull the wagons back to the farm. The red stallion’s name was Big Mac. When it was time to take a break Neko went over to the river nearby. The young fillies followed him.
Neko climbed a nearby tree and put his legs around a branch and huge upside down. Scootaloo gave him a weird look to why he was upside down in a tree, but he paid no mind to her. Neko dropped down grabbed something in his paw, and did a back flip onto his back paws. He had a fish in his paw flopping around. He put the fish’s head in his mouth and bit down and tearing its head off and spat into the river. Neko pulled out it’s spine with his other paw. The young fillies where shocked about what they saw. Neko started to eat the fish, till Scootaloo cleared her throat.
He turned to look at them “How can I help you girls?” He asked as he swallowed some fish. Applebloom was very sacred, so had no idea if he was safe to be around, but if her sister could trust him she would to. Sweetie Belle walked over to him and sat down on the ground.

“So… you only eat meat?” she asked as she tapped her front hoof on the dirt.

“Well, yes,” He answered. “I do, just like you three eat, apples, hay, oats, and things like that.” He took another bite of fish. Applebloom and Scootaloo walked over and sat next to Sweetie Belle. Applejack walked over to where every pony and cat was. AJ saw Neko finish off the fish he had just caught them licked blood off his paws. AJ all most lost her breakfast at the sight. Neko looked over, stopped, and washed his paws off in the river.

“Neko, I hope you don’t give those three, nightmares tonight,” Said Applejack as walked over to him.

“Is it time to get back to work?” Neko asked. He picked up a flower from the ground and gave it to AJ. AJ blushed while she let him put it in her mane.

“Thanks, Neko. Let’s get back to work.” Said Applejack as she blushed; well the young fillies rolled their eyes.

Alex was walking down to the market of Ponyville shopping for some food, like apples and carrots. All the other ponies gave him weird looks, but he did not care. The morning sun was very nice; it was not too hot, or to cold. Twilight and Rainbow Dash walked over to him, well Twilight walked, well Rainbow flew.

“Hey, there Alex what is up?” Twilight asked as she sat next to Alex.

“Oh not much.” Alex pointed to Twilight’s friend. “Say who is this pony?”

“The name is Rainbow Dash “replied the winged pony has she hovered over them. “Nice to meet you.”

“Pleasure’s is mine, say Twilight do you where Vinyl lives by chance, I need to talk with her,” said Alex.

“Yes Alex, I know where she lives,” replied Twilight.
The three of them did their shopping together having a great time. Rainbow left to go see Applejack; well Twilight showed Alex where Vinyl lived.

“Can I ask why you have all those carrots and apples, because I thought you guys eat meat,” Twilight said pointing to the bag on Alex’s back.

“There for Vinyl, but yes we do only eat meat.” Replied Alex knocked on the door. Octavia answered the door.

“Hello there Octavia is Vinyl home?” asked Alex. Octavia had a bath robe on her. Twilight said her good bye and left.

“Sure, you may come in Alex.” Said Octavia has she let Alex come in. The house was huge; the living room had a fire place and coaches, stairs that go to the upper rooms, and good sized kitchen. Vinyl was in the kitchen putting dish in the dishwasher, she closed the dish washer and turn on some kind of music device. Then wubs just shot out of the music device. Alex’s eyes got huge, well Octavia rolled her eyes at the fact that Vinyl would use her load music to clean dishes.

“Darn Vinyl! I hate it when you do the dishes with your music,” Said Octavia as she sat down at the kitchen table.

“Say Vinyl if you turn the base to 11, you can clean them on a microscopic level,” Said Alex as he walked over to Vinyl.

“Dude you’re so much cooler than I thought you would be, but I can’t, Tavi will not let me do it anymore, when I broke all the glass dishes last week.” Replied Vinyl as she bumped Alex’s paw with her hoof.

“I got these for you,” Said Alex as he put his bag of food on the table.

“That’s very cool of you Alex,” Said Vinyl as she sat at the table.

“Thanks, that’s very sweet of you,” Said Octavia as she grabbed an apple and bit into it. Alex just blushed and sat down at the table.

Back over at Twilight’s place Gia was reading one of Twilight’s books as she was eating one of her meat apples. Spike was eating some ice-cream has he walked up stairs.

“Did Twilight say you could have some ice-cream Spike?” asked Gia still reading Twilight’s book.

“Gia she is not my mom.” Replied Spike as he swallowed some ice-cream. Spike was about to take another bite of his snack when Gia grabbed the Ice cream out if Spike’s claws with her tail, still reading. Spike’s mouth just dropped, Gia was just sitting down at the table, now she was up the stairs and took his snack before he even knew it. Twilight walked in and saw Gia reading and Spike still in shock.

“Gia what happened here,” asked Twilight as she put her things away.

“Well, Spike was eating ice-cream, and you asked me to keep him out of trouble,” said Gia as she put the ice-cream back in the freezer and put the book down on the table. Spike was upset with his ice- cream being taken away, Twilight talked to him for a little bit, before he went up stairs to take a nap.

“Thanks so Gia, so what are we going to study?” asked Twilight as she walked over to Gia and sat down.

“Well I looked at what you all ready now and you pretty much know more magic then I do,” Replied Gia as sat down on the ground. Twilight looked puzzled as she looked into her eyes.

“What are you saying? The Princess told me you would teach me some magic in the letter she sent,” said Twilight as she stood up.

“Twilight I was told I would teach you something, but would you teach me some magic?” asked Gia as she lowered her head. Twilight just smiled and rubbed Gia’s head with her hoof.

“Well Gia I don’t know what I can teach you, but I will teach,” Said Twilight has she took her hoof off of Gia’s head. Gia stood up and smiled. A knock came at Twilight’s door. Twilight went to open the door and there stood Fluttershy.

“Wow Twilight I never knew Anthromals were so tall, I thought they would be just as big as normal cat.” Said Fluttershy as she flew over to Gia.

“Gia this is my friend Fluttershy, she is very good with animals.” Said Twilight has she put away the book Gia was reading.

“Nice to meet you Fluttershy,” said Gia as she bowed.

“Oh and you talk too, that is so cool. So what can you tell me about yourself?” said Fluttershy has she sat down on the ground. Gia was shocked as she did not know what to do.

“Well Fluttershy, 17 years ago I grew up in a land were the springs where nice, the summers hot, and winters where cold and lots of snow, where the seasons changed all on their own and not by Ponies like Rainbow Dash. Also in that land I learned may things there, I learned to hunt and fight from my older brother,” said Gia as she waged her tail over to a cup filled with water. Fluttershy was blown away, well Twilight wrote down everything about what Gia said.

“Why your life seems awesome Gia, so what is it like to be a talking cat?” asked Fluttershy as she smiled has she wanted to know more.

“Well Fluttershy, I’m not a normal cat, I am a Leopard. Also I know you love all animals, but I’m like you Fluttershy, but without the hooves.” Said Gia as she stood up and walked outside.

“Twilight what did I say?” asked Fluttershy as she barley talked over a wispier.

“Well Fluttershy I think you hurt her feelings, she seemed like she was about to…never mind, let us go find her.” Said Twilight as she and Fluttershy took off to find Gia. Gia ran and ran, climbing the roof tops. Fluttershy was able to get in front of Gia, Gia jumped over Fluttershy grabbed her tail. Gia stopped on the roof top and spun around with claws out.

“I’m sorry Gia.” Said Fluttershy in tears, Gia put her claws away and hugged Fluttershy and they cried together, after their tears ran out, they smiled at each other and went their ways.

Twilight and her friends were at the town hall planning a surprise party for the Anthromals.

“Ok every pony let’s talk about where we stand as of now. Applejack you first,” said Twilight as she pulled out a check list.

“Well Twilight, I took the meat apples to Mrs. Cake so she could make apple pie,” Replied AJ with a smile on her face. Rainbow Dash was trying not laughing hysterically.

“Rainbow Dash what is dang so funny?” asked Twilight and gave her a weird look.

“Oh just that Applejack likes that cat Neko.” Said Rainbow Dash trying not laugh at her friend and the rest of the girls stood around Applejack.

“Is that true AJ?” asked Rarity as she put her hoof around AJ.

“I only just meet the cat, just because he likes me, does not mean I like him,” said Applejack as she turned beat red in the face.

“Anyway, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, helped Pinkie with the decorations. Rarity do you have their new clothes?” asked Twilight after she cleared her throat.

“Oh, yes I do,” Replied Rarity without skipping a beat. Twilight let Rarity be in charge well Twilight talked to Applejack outside.

“So you like Neko?” asked Twilight as she sat down.

“Twilight I never felt like this before. I know it would never work out, but I need to get to know him better,” said Applejack has she dug at dirt with her hoof.

“Well just ask him sometime to go on a date with you.” Said Twilight has tried to help her friend.

“Say who is watching out for them?” said Applejack has looked at Twilight, Twilight gave the idea a thought and without missing beat they ran off to the Everfree forest.
A few hours later, Rarity was making sure everything was ready.

“Ok, girls let’s get ready for this party,” Rarity said. “Vinyl is getting her music together so we can have the best music. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy good job with the decorations, Pinkie Pie your doing a great job making the Invitations. Now we just need to get our special guests.” Said Rarity has she made sure everything was to be perfect. The city hall looked great; Rarity believed Alex and his friends would love it. Mrs. Cake walked into city hall with the apple pies with a label on them so no pony would try to eat them. Pinkie Pie went out to give all the invitations, while Rainbow Dash went to go get the guests of Ponyville. Vinyl and Octavia walked in, Octavia had electric cello, and well Vinyl had her DJ stuff, so they could play their music at the party.

Alex, Gia, and Neko walked out of the Everfree forest and saw Twilight and AJ. Neko had blood all over his mouth, and AJ all most lost he lunch. When Neko saw AJ’s face he spun around. Gia giggled a little bit while Neko blushed. Alex just rolled his eyes while AJ and Twilight walked over to face Neko. His face was beat red.

“Neko you are so cute when you blush,” said AJ as she nudged Neko’s arm with her hoof.

“Thanks AJ, so why did you two come over here so meet us?” asked Neko as he wiped the blood off his face.

“Well you three needed to come to city hall.” Said Twilight as she tried to push Alex and Neko, Gia just smiled as she pushed them all the way to city hall.

“Neko I’m sorry if I….”

“AJ don’t be sorry, for who you are I have a good idea about how you feel about me. A you know it would never work out right,” said Neko as he put his paw on AJ hat and took her hat off.

“I know. Give me my hat back please?”Asked AJ as she bumped Neko, the two just laughed, while Alex, Gia, and Twilight followed them to city hall.

“So what did you hunt out there?” asked Twilight, Gia just looked at her.

“Well be killed mostly rats and mice.” Replied Gia as she licked her face. Twilight was unsure about their killing to live, but once the new apple trees grew the meat apples, she knew they would stop killing. When they got to city hall the sun almost had set; it was very dark inside the hall,. When they went in, Pinky Pie and the others yelled “Surprise!” Vinyl and Octavia started to play some music.

“You ponies should know we smelt all of you so in your face, but I love the party, I never knew that Octavia played the electric cello,” said Alex howling, Neko put his paw to his face. Neko put AJ’s cowgirl hat back on her head. Gia just walked around enjoying every moment of this party.

Everfree Forest

The welcome to Ponyville party for Neko, his sister Gia and Alex was going on strong. The music was still going hard, and Everypony else was dancing or eating. Alex and Gia were eating their meat apple pie, but Neko was nowhere to be seen. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were sitting at the table with Alex and Gia. Spike was looking for Rarity, and Applejack was eating her grain at a table with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

“Say where did Neko and Rarity run off to?” asked Applejack as she swallowed a mouthful of grain. She looked at the food spread and Neko’s meat apple pie was still there.

“Rarity had to work so she left to pick up some orders, and well Neko has been missing for an hour now,” replied Fluttershy looking around.

“Well maybe Neko is looking for something?” proclaimed Pinkie.

“What would be looking for, he just ate something, and….I think I know where he is.” Said Applejack putting a puzzle together in her mind, she ran off to look for Neko. Pinkie and Fluttershy just looked at each other.

“So where did your brother run off to Gia?” Asked Twilight as she looked around for Neko only to fail in her search.

“Well he likes to be alone to think about whatever may be bugging him,” replied Gia as she took a bite out of pie.

“Yeah, Neko hates being around large gatherings, but he hates being alone,” replied Alex as waved his paw in the air.

“Sounds like he can’t make up his mind,” said Rainbow Dash as she waved her hoof around in the air. Alex and Gia just growled at Rainbow Dash. Twilight gave Gia and Alex a weird look. Gia and Alex stopped growling and calmed down.

“Why where you growling at Rainbow Dash?” asked Twilight, Alex and Gia just talked to themselves for a bit.

“Well, we were growling because what Rainbow Dash said was mean and not true. Neko likes to hang out with a few of his friends. He hates parties most of all, but on the other paw, he really likes to hang out with one or two of his friends at a time.” Explained Gia as she took another bite of pie.
Outside of city hall Neko was sitting on the roof just thinking about the day. The Moon’s light was very nice to look at, but he just looked at his ground paws as he sighed. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo where watching from the other side of the roof. Applebloom and her friends looked at Neko and, thinking he was sad they went to get Applejack. Neko jumped down to the ground, nearly jumping on somepony. Neko ran back to the farm. Applejack just missed him so she ran after him.

“Applebloom, why do you think he is so sad?” asked Sweetie Belle as she looked down at Neko’s paw prints.

“Well maybe because he feels like an odd ball, being one of the few no ponies here in ponyville.” Replied Scootaloo has tapped the ground with her hoof. Applebloom shock her head and sighed.

“Well we can’t help him out, plus I think my big sister can take care of it, because I have faith in her to help that cat out,” said Applebloom. Back at the party Applebloom walked over to where every pony was sitting, Alex and Gia where dancing together.

“Where is AJ?” asked Twilight.

“Well she went to talk to Neko,” Replied Applebloom as she sat at the table.

“Say ot’s getting late, Rainbow Dash why don’t you go and take Scootaloo home, well I’ll take Sweetie Belle and Applebloom home.” Said Twilight has she got up from the table.

“Whatever Twilight, come on kid.” Replied Rainbow Dash has she left with Scootaloo.

Applejack ran and ran after Neko, when she caught up with him, he was crying by the river near the farm. Applejack slowly walked up to Neko, but when she stepped on a branch, Neko looked over at her. When she saw that Neko was crying, she wanted to get closer to him.

“What’s the matter there Sugar cube? I’m here for you.” Said AJ has she sat next to him.

“I’m so sorry Applejack; I can’t seem to think right now. Everything I am and you are we could never be with each other, but yet we Anthromals hate being like one of those four paws, but yet we still have share one thing… imprinting on someone to be our mate.”

“Neko, we have only known each other for a day and half now. I like you as a friend, but I would like to know you better.” Said AJ has she looked at Neko.

“It’s not like that, Applejack if I was a pony or if you where a cat things would be different. Thank you for talking with me, and I would like to get to know you better.” Said Neko wiping a tear away, Applejack smiled and kissed Neko’s cheek. Neko put on put a paw on his cheek where Applejack had just kissed him.

“Maybe your right; you’re a cat and I’m a pony. I think we should hang out more, but stay friends. Neko don’t be sad, I’ll all ways be your friend.” Replied Applejack, Neko just looked at AJ and gave her a hug.

“So far Applejack you’re a true friend. In fact you’re one of the only true friends I have ever had.” Said Neko trying not to cry, Applejack smiled a little bit.

“Neko I will all ways be your friend. Also please never eat any fresh meat in front of me again, you hear.” Replied AJ, Neko gave a little smile.

“I promise Applejack.” Said Neko as he took AJ’s hat with his tail, the two of them talked for a while, till they felt sleepy and went back to the barn. When they got back to the barn AJ went inside to sleep in her bed while Neko went inside the barn. Neko just yawned and lay down in the hay. Neko closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The next day, Neko woke up by the sound of Applebloom and her friends playing inside the barn. The sun-beams coming through the wood barn doors were nice and warm. Neko yawned, while the young fillies where playing some kind of game that he had never seen before, but it did not matter to him. Neko’s stomach was growling. He’d heard some mice last night so he went hunting.

“Say Neko what in Ponyville are you doing?” asked Applebloom as she gave him a weird look.

“Well if you want to know I am looking for some mice.” Replied Neko as he pawed through some hay.

“So why are you looking for mice?” asked Sweetie Belle as she sat down.

“Sweetie Belle remember the fish from yesterday?” asked Scootaloo as she walked over to her friends.

“Oh you’re hungry,” said Sweetie Belle, Neko looked over at her, as he grabbed some mouse with his tail. Putting the mouse on his right paw, opened his mouth, Applebloom horrified turned around so she would not see him eating the mouse. Applejack came into the barn to see if Neko was up yet. Neko waved at her as he broke the mouse’s neck. Applejack saw Neko drop the mouse in his mouth. She spun around and heard the crunch of Neko breaking the bones.

“Neko do you think you could take my sister and her friends to go see Zecora?” asked Applejack.

“It’s ok, Applejack. I’m done eating that mouse, but sure, I can take them if that is what you want me to do.” Said Neko as he started to look for more mice.

“Thank you so much. Oh by the way your sister, Twilight, and I are going to the train station to get your apple trees and Appleblom’s cousin Babs Seed,” said Applejack has walked out of the barn.

“Yes! Babs is coming!” shouted Applebloom as she jumped in the air, meanwhile scaring off a mouse Neko was just about to grab.

“Say could you please go outside to play, so I can eat breakfast?” Said Neko as he pointed to the barn door. The fillies went outside to go play. When they left Neko went to hunt some mice. Applebloom ran over to Applejack, Twilight, and Gia.

“Hay guys so when does Babs get here from Manehattan Applejack?” asked Applebloom, AJ just smiled at her younger sister.

“About 11:30, why?” Replied Applejack as she rubbed her sister’s head. Applebloom whispered something in AJ’s ear. Applejack just laughed a little bit. After a little while AJ, Twilight, and Gia walked off

“Say Gia, Twilight can talk to you for a bit?” asked Applejack.

“What is it?” asked Gia.

“Well is there a spell that can transform me or Neko?” asked AJ. Twilight was shocked that her friend would ask this.

“Why, yes there are, but why would you want to do that, you only see your true self once a month.” Replied Twilight as she looked at Applejack with a weird look.

“Applejack, my brother is very kind, but he would hate being a pony. Besides if you were to become a cat, you would need to be able kill anther living creature. If you want to date him, he will date you, but you’ve only known him for two days now.” Said Gia as she was pondering an idea, Applejack looked down and sighed.

“Well I’m sorry I said anything to you.” Said Applejack as she put her head down.

“Applejack don’t be sorry, but that spell is permanent so one of you two would have to learn how to live like the other.” Replied Twilight as she nudged Applejack. Gia just laughed a little bit.

“What is so funny Gia?” asked Applejack and Twilight.

“Well my brother thinks if you were born a pony, then you were met to be a pony. So Applejack if you really like my brother, then just be yourself.” Replied Gia after she was done laughing, Applejack pondered what Gia said.

Neko came out of the barn licking his lips. Scootaloo just looked at Neko while the others were running around. Neko walked over to Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, Neko rubbed his head and started to walk away.

“Where you going Neko?” asked Sweetie Belle as she ran after him.

“To the Everfree forest, why?” replied Neko has he turned around.

“You’re going the wrong way.” Said Applebloom, Neko took a deep breath and breathed out. Neko hates it when he goes the wrong way.

“Thank you Applebloom, so anyway what do those markings on your sister’s and all of her friends’ hips are?” replied Neko as he was now walking to the Everfree forest. Applebloom and her friends followed him.

“Well Neko they are called cutie marks. Cutie marks are a symbol of that pony’s talents or a symbol of who they are.” Said Applebloom proudly. Neko cave the idea some thought.

“So Applejack’s cutie mark is three falling apples, and she is an apple bucker, so apple bucking is her main talent. Is that right?” said Neko with an unsure tone in his voice, Applebloom nodded her head.

“Now the main reason why we don’t have our cutie marks is because we have not found it yet.” Said Sweetie Belle knowing that Neko would ask that question.

Neko asked more questions about ponies and what they like to do. When they got to the Erverfree forest, Neko was unsure why the young fillies wanted to hang out with their friend that lives in the forest. When they got to Zecora’s Applebloom and her friends went inside her home. The forest was very dark, Neko did not care. Neko saw some blue flowers and knew that Applejack liked flowers. So Neko decided to pick them to give to Applejack. Neko jumped up into a tree and he waited for the young fillies to finish whatever they were doing. Applebloom and her friends were helping out the zebra Zecora out with her herbs. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle where looking at all the different masks on Zecora’s wall, Zecora lived inside a hollow tree.

“Say have you noticed that Neko and my sister like each other?” asked Applebloom looking through Zecora’s books.

“Well little Applebloom, your sister is lucky to have somepony to love.” Replied Zecora as she poured some herbs into her cauldron.

“But Zecora, Neko is an Anthromal cat,” Said Scootaloo as she walked over to Applebloom.

“Well I sure you don’t have all your facts then little Applebloom, if that were true you would lose a sister or gain a brother.” Replied Zecora as she walked over to her open book.

“What do you mean?” asked Applebloom as she looked at Zecora for a better answer.

“You see, Applejack could turn into a werepony or her friend could become a werecat.” Zecora replied as flipped through her book.

“What are those?” asked Scootaloo.

“Here it is where some pony turns into one thing for one night, or some say some creature will turn themselves into one thing, well once a month they turn back into their true forms. Think of them like a werewolf, but in reverse.” Replied Zecora, the young fillies where giving the words Zecora said some thought.

“So what you are saying Zecora is that if my sister and Neko would have to be like a werewolf to date each other? I don’t see why they would want to do that.” Said Applebloom has she put the pieces together.

“That’s so sweet.” Said Sweetie Belle as she put her hooves on her face. Applebloom gave Sweetie Belle a weird look. Scootaloo was unsure about the whole turning into anther creature.
After a little bit Neko came in to get Applebloom and her friends to take them home. As they walked thru the forest they could hear the howl of the timber wolves. Neko stopped and looked around, after a little bit three timbers wolves came out of the shadows. They looked like wolves, but made out sticks and leaves. Scootaloo was shaking in place too afraid to move. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle hugged each other and screamed. Neko took up a fighting stance. The timber wolves jumped at Neko, but he was too fast and kicked one of the wolves in the head, threw another one of the wolves, and broke the last ones back. The other timber wolves backed off a little bit.

“You fillies get the heck out of here.” Yelled Neko as he double checked to make sure they were all right. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle started to run away, but two timber wolves blocked their path, Suddenly Rainbow Dash came from out of nowhere and smashed into the two timber wolves. She took the young fillies out of the forest by air, Neko jumped up to the closest tree and jumped from tree to tree. When they got back to Ponyville the young fillies thanked Neko for protecting them. Rainbow Dash took the young fillies to the train station to see Babs seed.

A cat in the hoof

While when Neko, Applebloom, and her friends were in the Everfree forest, Applejack, Twilight, and Gia went to get the meat apple trees and Babs. The morning sun felt great as they walked through town they saw, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie hanging out with Alex at sugar cube corner. Alex and Rainbow Dash waved them over.

“What’s up, you guys?” asked Alex as he stood up to hug Gia after that he shook the hooves of Twilight and Applejack.

“Oh, not very much at all, but I do think AJ found a date to the rave next week,” Said Twilight shaking Alex’s paw, Applejack started to blush.

“Well, who’s the lucky pony, AJ?” asked Rainbow Dash has nudged Applejack’s side.

“It is not a pony, but a…” said Applejack not sure how Rainbow Dash would react to her wanting to be with Neko. Alex knew what Applejack meant, but he wanted to let her say it to be nice.

“Come on AJ, who are you going with?” asked Pinkie. She was standing on her chair waving her tail around. Twilight and Gia sat down at the table waiting for AJ to tell her two pony friends.

“If she doesn’t want to tell us, that’s fine by me,” said Rainbow Dash. She grabbed Pinkie’s hoof and put it her back into her seat. Turning back to AJ, she added,“ When you want to tell anyone, I’ll be here to listen to you.” Applejack just smiled warmly at Rainbow Dash.

“Thank you, Rainbow Dash. That’s very kind of you, but I know you are going to make fun of me when I tell you, “Replied Applejack has she sat down at the table. Rainbow was thinking of none pony creatures in Ponyville that would date her friend AJ. Rainbow Dash thought about Neko, but she was unsure.

“Is it Neko Applejack?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Yes,” Replied AJ.

“Neko! Wow Applejack do you have him dancing in your hoof yet?” asked Rainbow Dash trying not to laugh at Applejack.
“Wait, how could she have Neko dancing on her hoof if he’s taller than her? He would have to shrink somehow to dance on her hoof.” Said Pinkie, Applejack and Rainbow just started laughing.

“Pinkie having some pony dance on your hoof is just slang. It means they would do almost anything for you,” explained Alex laughing a little bit.

“I think I get it now,” said Pinkie.

“Would some pony put those flea bags on a collar and off that table where only ponies should eat,”
The voice came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to see who was talking, and, smelling something out only Gia and Alex could. When they saw who they started to growled.

“That‘s not a very nice to say,” said Twilight. She turned to a young yellow mare. “Who are you may, I ask?” Rainbow Dash didn’t like the way this pony made fun of her friends. Rainbow started to walk over to this new pony, so Pinkie stepped on Rainbow’s tail. Alex and Gia kept growling, well Applejack was thinking of a reason not to kick this pony’s butt.

“The name is Summer Song,” replied the yellow mare, stomping her hoof. “Those Anthromals have no feelings; they just kill and eat anything they want.”

“You shut up there you!” shouted Applejack. “I have one those so-called flea bags living in my barn, and I love him!” Twilight quickly stepped on Rainbow’s tail to stop her from luching at Summer. Rainbow Dash eyes got wide, Rainbow Dash knew that Applejack statement was serious, and abrupt.

“You must be brain washed; an Anthromal would eat you if they ever got hungry,” said Summer Song and walked closer to Applejack. Alex stood up, Twilight tried to stop him, but Alex snarled at her. Summer Song backed off a little bit because she was intimidated by Alex.

“You listen here Summer Song, if you dare come near Applejack or anyone of my friends; we are going to have some trouble. Also Applejack may not have known my friend Neko for very long, but I would never eat any of my friends,” Said Alex as he calmed down enough to talk. Summer Song back off a little bit more. Gia whispered something in Twilight’s ear.

“I’m so sorry Alex, but we need to leave and if you don’t leave Gia told me to pit a collar on you.” Said Twilight has she took her hoof off of Applejack’s tail. They all went their own ways to do what they all ready planned to do.

“Applejack thank you for standing up for us, you too Twilight,” Said Gia has she flicked her tail.

“No problem Gia we got your back,” said Twilight smiling at Gia well she just smiled back at her. Applejack was still mad about what happened back there.
Applejack stopped “Gia can I ask you something?”

“What is it?” replied Gia has turning around to see Applejack.

“If you guys don’t know us, would you eat us?” asked Applejack, Gia and Twilight gave her a weird look.

“No,” said Gia reassuringly. “For a few reasons. One Alex, Neko, and I would never eat anything that would talk to us. And two we are not mindless killers.” She put a paw on Applejack’s head.
Twilight was quiet for a moment, thinking. She turned around and said, “Gia I’d like to learn about anthromals and their ways.” Gia and Applejack just stared at Twilight.

“What do you mean?” asked Applejack as nicely as she could.

“Well the only book I own on them is not 100% correct,” Twilight said. “I think it’d be great to write a book about them.”

“I think that would be a great idea, I don’t know about by brother and Alex, but I like this idea of yours Twilight.” Said Gia, all three of started to walk to the train station again.

Alex, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie where walking to Octavia and Vinyl’s place. The morning was almost done. Everypony was up and about to do their daily business; there were ponies buying food for the day, as well as ponies hanging out with their friends. Alex took a deep breath to clear his head from Summer Song’s words. A lot of ponies where still of afraid of Alex and his friends because they eat meat. This really bugged Alex, because he wanted to be trusted by the other ponies in Ponyville other than Vinyl, Octavia, Twilight, and her friends. Rainbow Dash looked over at Alex, she could tell he was upset, about what had just happened. She tried to think of the right words to say.

“Alex are you still mad about what that pony said?” asked Rainbow Dash as flew in front of Alex.

“No,” Alex said forcefully. He pushed Rainbow Dash to the side, then added. “Well…yes, but I’m thinking about…about other things.”

“What kinds of things?” asked Rainbow Dash concerned.

“About what kinds of things we should do at Vinyl’s rave.”

“Well that is good to hear, because I don’t like it when any pony, or you and your other friends are upset. Just remember to smile Alex,” Said Pinkie Pie as she bounced up and down. Alex just smiled, because Pinkie was right.
Vinyl was sitting outside for them; Octavia could be heard playing her cello from outside.

“Hay there guys, it’s about time you guys get here.” Said Vinyl standing up, Alex just rolled his eyes.

“We were talking with Twilight and the others for a bit, sorry about making you wait,” replied Alex putting his paws in the air.

“It’s cool you guys, so let’s talk about my rave next weekend.” Said Vinyl taking her shads off, Pinkie Pie was bounced up
and down because she was happy to a part of such a big party.

“So what do you have in mind Vinyl?” asked Rainbow Dash as she landed next to Vinyl.

“Well Rainbow Dash, I have Alex hear to do a glow stick dance, Applejack is giving me some apples so we can have apple cider to drink, also I am having Pinkie Pie gather Everypony she knows to come. Then you Rainbow Dash I’ m going have you learn glow stick dancing from Alex,” Said Vinyl as she wrapped her hoof around Rainbow Dash.

“Okay, so when are we going to this party Vinyl?” asked Pinkie Pie as she stopped bouncing.

“Well Pinkie it’s going to be Friday night.” Said Vinyl waving her hoof in the air, Alex’s hears were pointing at Vinyl’s place listening to Octavia’s music.

“Alex did you hear me?” asked Vinyl has nudge Alex, Alex looked at Vinyl.

“Just because my ears are pointing to Octavia’s music does not mean I’m not listening to Vinyl.” Replied Alex as his ears twitched. Pinkie Pie never noticed that Alex’s ears twitched to every sound, so Pinkie Pie just stared at his ears.

“Pinkie Pie what are you looking at?” asked Rainbow Dash waving her hoof in front of Pinkie’s face.

“Well Alex’s ears of course silly, his ears move to every little sound,” Said Pinkie as she moved Rainbow’s hoof out of the way to keep looking at Alex’s ears.

“Pinkie my ears all ways move so I can hear my prey when I’m hunting or when I want to listen to music. So yes I would like you to stop looking at them.” Said Alex growling a little bit, at Pinkie Pie, Rainbow remembered she needed to leave to go get Scootaloo and the other so they could meet up with Applejack and Babs.

Meanwhile Applejack, Gia, and Twilight were waiting for the train that’s that would bring the meat apple trees as well as Babs. A young light blue earth pony came over and sat down next to Gia. Gia smiled at the young filly. The filly was like Applebloom: Kind, understanding, and full of life. She just kept smiling at Gia.

“My name is Gia, and what is your name little filly?” asked Gia flicking her tail.

“My name is Willow Harpnote. I saw what my sister did and I would to apologize for what my sister said to you and your friends today. Unlike her I really like anthromals, there really cool,” Said the young filly, as she looked at Gia. Gia just looked at Willow Harpnote, well Applejack walked over to sit next to Willow Harpnote.

“So your sister is Summer Song, little one. So how is that your sister hates anthromals and you don’t?” asked Applejack as she sat next to the young filly. Willow Harpnote just looked at Applejack.

“Well you see by big sister does not like anthromals because our family was living near the border were the anthromals lived, and one night the town we lived in was attacked and the anthromals killed a lot of ponies to they could eat, and some of those ponies was my mother, my father, and other that we knew. I was upset, but I know every creature needs to eat, but she could never forgive, that is why she hates them. Me on the other hoof, I like to think of them as my friends,” said Willow Harpnote as she turned to look at Applejack.

“Well you have kind heart to forgive like that.” Said Gia standing up to starch her legs and arms, Willow Harpnote just laughed a little bit. A train came by, but it was not the train they were waiting for. Some of the ponies getting off the train were scared of Gia, but she did not care. Applejack just rolled her eyes at those ponies. Twilight and Gia were still talking to Willow Harpnote.

“So little one, what are you and your sister doing in Ponyville?” asked Twilight, Gia moved her ears over to some pony voice that she knew, she sniffed the air and growled softly.

“Well you see, we moved here, but with my sister seeing Gia and her friends, I don’t think we will stay here very long.” Replied Willow Harpnote, Twilight looked to see what Gia was growling at. Walking thru the crowd was Summer Song. Summer Song saw Gia and Twilight hanging out with her little sister.

“Willow Harpnote you get over here right now! There is no need for you to talk to that over grown cat, and that cat lover!” shouted Summer Song as she stomped her one of her front hooves down. Willow stood where she was, while Gia just hissed.

“No. You have no right to call them names sis, just because you’re bitter about what happened two years ago, does not give you the right to make fun of Applejack and Gia.” Shouted Willow Harpnote stomping her hoof, Gia was trying to stay calm, Twilight had to think of something fast.

“Willow Harpnote, why don’t you go with your big sister, so I don’t have to put Gia on a collar and leash to stop this from turning into a fight,” said Twilight as sat next to Willow. She just nodded her head and left with Summer Song. After a little bit the train with the apple trees and Babs came, just has Rainbow Dash came walking up to AJ with Applebloom and her friends.

Later that night, Neko and Applejack were in the barn together because Neko made AJ dinner with the blue flowers he found. Applejack ate her sandwich; well Neko was eating a meat apple.

“I heard that you where attacked by timber wolves, so I hope you were not hurt.” Said Applejack swallowing a bit of her sandwich, Neko flicked his tail.

“I’m okay Applejack.”

“That is good to hear sugar cube.”

“Applejack I heard from my sister that defended her. I want to thank you for that. Applejack I…” said Neko drawing in the dirt. Applejack took a bite of her sandwich and kissed Neko as he opened his mouth to say something. Neko was shocked, but he kind of liked it. Neko kissed Applejack back.

“Applejack you do know that you just kissed a cat, so to others that would look very weird.” Said Neko grabbing Applejack’s hat and putting it on his head. Applejack just blushed a little bit.
“Sorry there that was a little fast. Would you date me Neko?” replied AJ lowering her head. Neko lifted her head up to his eye level.

“Applejack, I would to get to know you better. Also for us to be together one of us will have to become the other.” Said Neko taking his paw off of her chin, AJ just blushed even more.

“Neko why don’t we do this again durning the Grand Galloping Gala.” Said AJ taking anther bite of her dinner, Neko just smiled and nodded his head. Neko’s hears pointed to a part of the barn, Applejack turned to see what they were pointing at. Applebloom and Babs came out of the darkness.

“Applebloom, why did you come in here?” asked Neko flicking his tail. Applebloom gulped, Applejack walked over to her sister and Babs.

“Applebloom I hope you know you’re in trouble, and how long you have you two been here watching us?” asked AJ walking towards to two young fillies.

“We saw you two kiss and I know that I’m in trouble.” Replied Applebloom kinking some dirt around the barn, Applejack took a deep breath.

“Applebloom this dinner date and whatever we talked about was just for Neko and me, and you had to see what we were up two. You will not be able to have your friends come over for a week, and I’ll pick up from school every day this week, so I know you didn’t run off with your friends. As for you Babs, I know you are staying here for a while, so I’ll this easier one Applebloom I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to play with Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle this week.” Said AJ trying not to lose her temper, Babs and Applebloom just lowered their heads.

“AJ, I’ll be fine. You should let Babs hang out with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, because she does not get to see them as much as I do.” Replied Applebloom, Applejack rubbed Applebloom’s mane with her hoof.

“Applebloom that is very nice of you, so I’ll let Babs slide. However Babs you will now…I’ll think of something for you to do.” Said Applejack, Babs hugged Applebloom and the two young fillies ran off. Neko walked over to Applejack and smiled.

‘That was well done Applejack. I getting tried so I’ll see you tomorrow then” said Neko has he put a paw on her.

“Thanks,” said Applejack as she took a deep breath. They talked a little bit longer; they hugged and went to their beds for the night.

New prospective

Applejack walked up stairs to her room for the night, Applebloom was standing in her room waiting for her sister.

“Applebloom you need to go to bed like Babs,” said AJ walking to her bed, Applebloom just sighed.

“Sis do you really love him?” asked Applebloom crying a little bit. Applejack let her younger sister sit on her bed to talk.

“Yes, but Applebloom why are you crying?” asked AJ hugging her sister.

“Well I don’t want to lose you; I love you so much,” Replied Applebloom still crying, Applejack kissed Applebloom’s head.

“Applebloom what makes you think you’re going to lose me?” asked Applejack rubbing her sister’s mane.

“Well Zercora said for you two to be with each other you would to change into a cat, and I don’t want to lose you,” Applebloom trying not to start crying again. Applejack just smiled at her sister.

“Don’t worry little one, even if I do become a cat I’ll never leave the farm. Also Neko would have a choice to become a pony if he wants to become a pony,” Applejack reinsured her sister. Applebloom just smiled at her big sister.
So how did you like kissing him?” asked Applebloom nudging AJ’s side, Applejack blushed a little bit.

“It was weird after I kissed him, but I would not mine doing it again. Now go to bed,” said Applejack. She gave Applebloom a hug and then Applebloom went to her room well AJ got in her bed.
In the morning sun was nice and warm on Applejack’s face, she opened her eyes and saw that she was not in her room; in fact she was in the barn on the pill of hay were Neko slept.

“How did I get here? I know I was in my room last night. Hold on I sound weird, I think I may be sick,” Applejack told herself. She saw her hat which Neko took last night from her on their date. It was hanging on a nail on one of the pillars that helped up the barn. She looked around for Neko, but he was nowhere to be found. Applejack got up to grab her hat, but when she went to pick it up, instead of her hoof, it was Neko’s paw. Applejack looked be hide her and saw Neko’s tail moving around, she looked at the ground and saw his feet.

“This is really a bad dream or this is real and Neko and I just switched bodies, but how no pony cast a spell that I know of, and the only thing I ate last night was those flowers that Neko gave for dinner, if it was that why would he be in my body, that’s right I kissed him after I took a bite of that sandwich. I need to have a talk with that cat,” Applejack told herself stomping the ground with her paw for the time being. Applejack heard some mice running around, a part of her wanted to eat it, but Applejack did not want to put living creature in her gut, or kill some creature. Applejack heard a knock at the barn door.

“Applejack, I know you’re in there, so I’m coming in,” said Neko, but with Applejack voice. Neko walked inside with his mane all messed up.

“I’m sorry, but can I please fix my mane,” asked AJ, hoping he would not lose whatever cool he had left.

“Sure, but please tell what happened to us, and if you do, tell me so we may be able to get our bodies back,” said Neko as calmly as he could. Applejack started to get her body’s mane together so it would looked nice.

“Could you please tell me where you found those blue flowers?” asked Applejack combing Neko’s mane with her claws.

“Well I found them in the Everfree forest,” Replied Neko has looked at his bed of hay.

“Ok that was a plant called Poison joke, there is a cure, but if we are ever going to be together we need to choose if you’re going to become a pony or if I’m going to become some kind of cat. I have to say you’re taking this being a pony right now really well,” replied Applejack still combing Neko’s mane, Neko just rolled his eyes.

“Ok now that I know we can go back to being in our normal bodies, this could be fun. I’m going to say this now; I’ll have fun if you do. To be honest I hate this right now, not just being a pony but a girl,” Said Neko drawing in the dirt, Applejack just gave a half smile.

“Well thank you for telling me how you feel, but I do think it’s weird to be combing my own mane from be hide, also anther weird thing for me is that I want to eat, but the only thing I can eat is those mice that you have been eating,” replied Applejack. A knock on the barn door came, and Gia and Alex came in.

“Applejack shall we go hunting now?” asked Gia pointing to Neko’s body.

“Wait how do you know that I’m Applejack?” asked Applejack pointing at her leopard chest.

“You see AJ, we heard everything from when you wanted to do Neko’s mane,” said Alex with his paws in the air, Gia laughed a little bit seeing her brother in a female body.

“So why is that I could hear, but not smell you. I mean I thought you where Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo,” said Neko looking at Gia and Alex, Gia stopped laughing.

“Well I think it is because a pony’s nose it not as good as ours, also Neko I think you heard us kicking up the dirt with our paws while we walked over here,” explained Gia rubbing her paw threw Neko’s mane. Applejack looked outside of the barn and saw Rainbow Dash and Rarity walking towards them. Applejack finished fixing up Neko’s mane. Neko and AJ walked outside to go visit well Alex and Gia just followed be hide them.

“Well Applejack are you ready for the day?” asked Rarity, Neko just took a deep breath so he would not lose his cool.

“What did you have in mine?” sighed Neko looking at Rarity. Rarity was confused for some reason that AJ forgot what they have planned to do. Rainbow Dash looked over at Alex who was pointing at Applejack and Neko with his paws, and then he crisscrossed his arms still pointing at them. Rainbow Dash’s eyes got wide when she realizes what Alex meant, but before she could laugh out loud, Alex waved her over so he could talk to her.

“Rarity I’m Applejack and that is Neko, we ate some poison joke and then we switched bodies. So I’m going hunting with what seems like Gia, and you will be hang out with Neko, so sorry about that,” Explained Applejack to why Neko had no idea what Rarity was talking about.

“So Neko do you want to come and hang out with Twilight and me at the spa?” asked Rarity walking over to Neko. Applejack put her paw over mouth trying to hide a laugh; Neko just gave Applejack an evil stare. Applejack just busted out laughing.

“What in all of Ponyville is so funny there Applejack?” asked Neko putting his hoof down.

“I’m so sorry, but it’s you once you lost your sharp teeth, you’re really cute when you get mad,” Replied AJ between laughs, Gia smiled at her brother.

“Rarity I’ll go with you and Twilight to the spa, and for you Applejack you need to put some food in your gut so when I get back to my body it will full so, I can just go to sleep when I get it back,” Neko said walking to town, Rarity following him. Gia took Applejack to the Everfree forest, well Alex and Rainbow Dash stayed at the farm.

“Okay Rainbow Dash I’m going to need your help,” said Alex with a hint of mischief in his voice, Rainbow Dash just wanted to know what Alex had in mine.

“Alex, what do you want? This has to be good, because Vinyl wanted you to teach me how to glow stick dance for the rave this weekend,” asked Rainbow Dash putting her hoof on her face, Alex just laughed a little bit.

“Well I heard from Vinyl and Octavia that Pinkie Pie is the best at pulling jokes on other ponies, so I want to dethrone her from her own game,” Alex laughed evilly; Rainbow Dash just took her hoof off her face and busted out laughing at Alex.

“So, you don’t think I can do it?” asked Alex growling at Rainbow Dash.

“I just want to tell you Pinkie Pie is not a normal pony, you would not stand a chance,” Said Rainbow Dash laughing at Alex some more. Alex kept on growling, till he came up with something to say.

“Well Rainbow Dash, I’ll tell you three things I got on your friend Pinkie. Those are my paws, my nose, and my ears,” replied Alex laughing a little bit, Rainbow just kept laughing at Alex.

“You see Alex, Pinkie can tell if some pony is following her, and she can tell if something about to fall, as well as opening doors, and anything like that. However your nose and your ears could be what you need to pull this off,” explained Rainbow Dash when she was finished laughing, Alex flicked his tail as he was thinking of ideas to get off a joke on Pinkie.

“All right Rainbow Dash; I need you to get me bucket, a empty balloon, and one of those buzzers that go around your hoof that shocks any pony when you pressure is applied,” said Alex making a list of little joke for Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Alex went over to her house to get the items that Alex need.

“Neko and Rarity meet up with Twilight for their monthly spa. Neko did not like this whole spa idea, just because he was in a girl’s body, does not mean he liked girly things. When they walked into the spa, it smelled very good. It seemed like every pony who came in was very glad to be there.

“I’m sorry I can’t do this Rarity, I have no idea if Applejack likes this, but I will not go in the spa as a girl,” Said Neko putting his hoof down, Twilight gave him a weird look, well Rarity was unsure about why Neko just said that.

“Applejack are you all right?” asked Twilight putting her hoof to Neko’s head.

“Yes, Twilight I’m fine. I just don’t want any pony toughing me, well I’m like this,” replied Neko removing Twilight’s hoof away from his face. Rarity told Twilight about Applejack and Neko changing bodies do to poison joke. Twilight just blushed because she had no idea she was talking to Neko and not Applejack. So the three of them left the spa so they could go and eat something instead, when they got out of the spa they saw Summer Song heading into the spa. Twilight seemed very uneasy around Summer Song, but Neko and Rarity did not know who Summer Song was.

“Well if it’s the cat lover Applejack, so put that cat of your on a collar yet?” asked Summer Song brushing her tail against Neko’s face.

“No, but I see some pony needs one, and she is front of me,” said Neko trying to stay calm inside. Twilight was unsure about Neko and Summer Song fighting in the middle of town, but Summer Song just went inside the spa so she would not start a fight. When they got to a place to eat, Twilight and Rarity where eating some flowers and some carrots. Neko just looked down at his food and sniffed at it. Neko made sure Applejack feed his body, so he should do the same. Neko took a little bite out of the flowers, but to Neko the flowers were not very good for two reasons. One it had no taste to him and two he only had to eat plants when he was sick. Rarity and Twilight just watched Neko eating the flowers with displeasure on his face. Neko swallowed the flowers, trying not to be rude.

“So how do you like those flowers Neko?” asked Twilight as she pulled out a note book and quill with her magic.

“Well how do I put this, I rather eat some meat then these flowers, but they taste better then the herbs I eat when I’m sick,” said Neko pulling a leaf off his tongue and throwing it to the ground. Twilight wrote down what Neko just told her. Rarity just finished eating what was on her plant.

“So what does it feel like to be a pony?” asked Twilight ready to write some info down.

“It’s like having my claws, my sharp teeth, and my super awesome paws taken away. I will say this, if Applejack won’t become an Anthromal, I’ll become a pony, if that is where our lives lead us,” replied Neko putting more flowers in his mouth, Twilight glad to see that Neko was eating something and not waiting to go back to his body tonight.

Applejack and Gia were walking thru the Everfree forest looking for something to eat. Applejack just looked around and she could not find any animals anywhere, she was unsure why that was. Gia walked over to a pound with lots of fish. Gia walked into water that came up to her ankles. Gia walked slowly in the water looking for her prey. With a swipe of her paw, a fish landed by AJ’s lower paws. Applejack picked the fish up and just looked at it.

“Say Gia what do I do with this fish now?” asked AJ looking at the fish in her paws. Gia swiped out anther fish.

“Well you break its neck and bone the fish, if you don’t wish to kill it, you fish and I’ll kill and bone,” replied Gia as she got ready to grab anther fish. Applejack put the fish on the ground and walked over to Gia. AJ looked down at the water ready to pull out some fish, before she knew a fish hit her lower paw, so she flipped it out of the water with that paw but kicking backwards. The fish flew thru the air till Gia grabbed it and snapped its neck.

“Say Gia, how did I do that?” asked Applejack looking for at Gia, she just looked up at Applejack. Gia had fish bones in a big pile and all the meat in anther pile. Gia grabbed the fish heads and threw them into the water.

“I think I may know why you were able to kick that fish out with your paw, is because you may be tapping into Neko’s muscle reflexes,” replied Gia looking at Applejack, it was so weird to see Neko, but it’s really Applejack for Gia. Applejack sat down to eat the fish with Gia, AJ picked up some of the fish meat and smelled it. Applejack didn’t like how it smelled, but she had to eat it. Applejack just sighed and bit a small piece of fish in her mouth, to AJ that fish tasted very sickening to her. The fish blood got all over face, because the pressure of her biting into the fish sent blood flying all over her face. She tried not to gang when she saw the blood, Applejack threw the piece of fish to the ground.

“Are you all right Applejack?”asked Gia running to her side, Applejack grabbed a tree so she would not fall.
“I’m sorry Gia, but I can’t eat fresh meat, I could try dry meat, but I never want to eat it fresh,” replied AJ spitting out the blood that was in her mouth, Gia sat Applejack down so she could put the meat in some leaves and went to help Applejack up and they walked into town.

Rainbow Dash and Alex walked over to Sugar Cube Corner with the items that Alex had asked for. When they got there Alex and Rainbow Dash went up to the roof. Rainbow Dash used a cloud that she had grabbed to fill the bucket with water, and Alex got his bag from his place. Alex pulled out three blue berry muffins. Alex filled the balloon with water. Rainbow Dash took one of the muffins and sat it on the ground, and then she walked inside leaving the door open just enough so Pinkie Pie could see the muffin. Alex put the bucket on the opened door, so when Pinkie pie walked out to get the muffin, the bucket of water would fall on her. When Pinkie Pie saw the muffin her tail started to shake as she opened the door more so she can go outside to eat it, but when she felt her tail twitching she bolted inside as fast has she could go, before she could get hit by the water. When Alex saw that he failed at the falling bucket from the door trick did not work, he was ready for stage two of his plan, but before Pinkie or Alex could get the muffin a gray Pegasus pony named Derpy flew down and ate the muffin. Alex climbed down the roof so Pinkie would not be able to see him.

“Okay Pinkie Pie, you past the first test, but can you pass the next two,” Alex told himself smiling, that so far Pinkie Pie would be fun to dethrone. Alex just walked off laughing wile every pony just gave him a weird look.

Let the games begin

Alex and Rainbow Dash where sitting on a roof waiting for Pinkie Pie to come back to work. Alex had a water balloon with Pinkie’s name on it; Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes. Pinkie Pie was walking their way, so Alex got ready to throw the balloon at Pinkie Pie from across the street. Alex threw the balloon as hard as he could, but Pinkie hit the ground and the balloon hit the side of the building. Alex and Rainbow Dash got out of sight before Pinkie could see them. They saw Pinkie go into Sugar cube corner.

“How did that not work?” asked Alex slamming his paw on the roof.

“I told you, Pinkie is not a normal pony, you’re going to need something better than a water balloon Alex,” replied Rainbow Dash.

“Say do you want to go get something to eat at Sugar cube Corner? Asked Alex with a smile on his face, Rainbow just rolled her eyes again. They climbed down from the roof and went in to get a bite to eat. When they walked into Sugar cube Corner they took a seat at one of the tables and waited for Pinkie Pie to come take their orders. Sugar cube Corner was not very full when they walked in, Pinkie Pie walked up to them ready for their orders; Alex just reached out under the table and grabbed Pinkie’s leg. Pinkie got a little shock from the buzzer that Rainbow Dash gave him. Pinkie Pie was not very happy with Alex.

“What in the hay did you do that for Alex?” asked Pinkie Pie starring at Alex.

“Well I was told that you are the best at jokes, so I want to dethrone you from the master of jokes title,” replied Alex starring right back at Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash waved her hoof in front of them.

“Well let’s do this think then, and Alex I won’t lose,” replied Pinkie Pie still starring; Alex just smiled a little bit more. Pinkie Pie took their orders and went off to make them.

“Say Rainbow Dash do you want to help me with one last joke?” asked Alex getting up from the table.

“Want do you need help with finding a vent that leads to the kitchen?” asked Rainbow Dash in a very sarcastic tone in her voice. Alex jumped from his set, Rainbow was surprised that Alex took that idea has for a good joke. Alex and Rainbow Dash want outside to find that vent. When they got outside they saw Neko, Twilight, and Rarity walking by. Alex just waved at them, he did not want to waste any time talking, they walked into the store to talk to Pinkie Pie, Alex found the vent and climbed in, Rainbow Dash went inside to vent with him, and so she could find out what Alex was planning for Pinkie Pie. Alex crawled over to the vent, that was over the kitchen, Pinkie Pie was there making some cup cakes, pies and other things like that. Alex took off the steel frame so he could lower himself down to pull a joke on Pinkie. Rainbow Dash grabbed his legs and she lowered Alex down, there was a pie sitting be hide Pinkie and when Alex grabbed it, Pinkie turned around and threw a pie at Alex’s face.

“Nice try there Alex, but it did not work. Better luck next time,” said Pinkie Pie laughing to herself, Alex could not help, but think she was laughing at him. When she turned around Alex threw the pie that he just grabbed at the back of Pinkie Pie’s head. Rainbow Dash then pulled him up back into the vent.

Neko, Twilight, and Rarity where sitting down at a table waiting for Pinkie Pie to come out from the back. When Pinkie Pie came out her mane was wet, but she had a smile on her face. The cake family came down from there room upstairs and went to the kitchen so Pinkie Pie could go on brake. Pinkie sat next to Twilight and the rest of them.

“Pinkie why is your mane all wet?” asked Rarity starring at Pinkie Pie’s mane.

“You see Alex threw an apple pie at me,” replied Pinkie laughing a little bit inside, Neko put his hoof on his face. Twilight just gave Pinkie a weird look, but Pinkie didn't care about what her friends where doing, all she cared about is thinking of a way to get Alex back.

“So Pinkie what are you going to do about Alex?” asked Twilight waiting to see how Pinkie will react to what she asked her.

“You see Twilight I’m going to make him regret starting this war, anyway when does Neko and Gia get back from their hunting trip Applejack?” Pinkie asked Neko not knowing that she was talking to Neko and not Applejack.

“About now, Alex will be heading their pretty soon, but I think he going to talk to Vinyl before he heads over to Apple farm, I mean my place,” replied Neko pretending he was Applejack, but he all ready looked like and sound like Applejack. Pinkie Pie’s eyes grew big then she started to run over to Sweet Apple Acres. Neko realized he need to get Applebloom from school shortly so he left to go get Applebloom and Babs, well Twilight and Rarity ran after Pinkie Pie, wanting to know how she was going to get Alex back.

When Neko got to Applebloom’s school, Applebloom and the rest of her friends were talking to Willow Harpnote the young filly that Applejack told him about. When Applebloom saw Neko she ran over to him.

“Applejack you don’t have to get from school, I was planning to come home in little bit,” said Applebloom rolling her eyes, Neko just shook his head. Two young fillies came out of the school house, Applebloom and her friends stopped laughing and looked over at the fillies.

“What do you two want with us?” asked Scootaloo stomping her hoof down. Willow Harpnote was unsure why her new friends where so upset about seeing Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

“Hay there blank flanks,” said Silver Spoon flicking her tail in Applebloom face, Neko looked over at the two fillies bullying Applejack’s little sister.

“Hay stop picking on my friends, you know we all had blank flanks at one time,” said Willow putting her hoof down, Diamond Tiara just started laughing.

“Well I say your friends will always be blank flanks, like those anthromals living in Ponyville,” replied Diamond Tiara laughing, Neko walked over to the young group of fillies.

“Let’s go, Applebloom, Babs lets go home,” said Neko. Applebloom and Babs started home, Summer Song walked up to the school house to pick up her little sister.

“Oh, look at the cat love Applejack,” mocked Summer Song. Neko pushed Applebloom and Babs home before he or they did something they would react.

When Neko got back to the farm with Applebloom and Babs. Gia and Applejack where talking to Pinkie Pie, and there was Alex eating some fish. Big Mac was with granny Smith making apple cider with the apples that Big Mac had bucked this during the morning. Vinyl was swing by to check up on her order of apple cider for her rave on the weekend. Rainbow Dash walked out barn and headed over to Alex. Pinkie Pie shortly left after Rainbow Dash came out of the barn. Neko took Babs and Applebloom inside the house, Neko never been inside of Applejack’s house till this morning. Applebloom threw her school bag on the ground, she and Babs went upstairs to play, and well Neko went to AJ’s room to see her list of chores she had to do today. Applejack walked into her room.

“Hay there Applejack, I’m sorry that I made you go on that hunting trip with my sister,” said Neko, tapping his hoof on the ground, AJ just gave Neko a kiss.

“It’s okay Neko. I will say this Neko. I could not eat any meat, but I did eat some of those meat apples of yours. They tasted okay, but I never want to kill or eat any fresh meat again,” replied Applejack giving Neko anther kiss. Babs and Applebloom walked in with Twilight. Twilight gave the two of them a weird look. Applejack and Neko looked over at Twilight blushing. Applebloom and Babs laughed a little bit. Applejack looked over at Twilight flicking her tail; Neko walked passed Twilight so he could go outside, and so he could do AJ’s chores.

“What do you want Twilight?” asked Applejack as she grabbed her tail from flicking around.

“Applejack I’m happy for you, to find some pony who you enjoy hanging out with, but I hope you know what you’re doing?” asked Twilight unsure how AJ would react.

“Twilight, I have learned a lot about Neko, you should know I need to be honest with myself. I will say this Twilight, thanks for helping me and being a true friend,” said AJ blushing a little bit, Twilight sat next to AJ.

“Applejack, I’m all ways try to be there for you, I just want to make sure you and Neko will be happy together,” replied Twilight moving her hoof around on the floor. AJ went outside to help Neko with her chores. Twilight followed AJ back outside.

Alex and Rainbow Dash headed over to Alex’s house, Alex’s house was very modest place. Alex did own very much stuff. His house had a closest and a bed. Rainbow Dash just looked around the place.

“Say Alex where did you get the money to pay rent here?” asked Rainbow Dash flying around Alex’s house.

“Well you can say that Vinyl and Octavia are paying for it. I don’t really like dealing in money, I really like dealing in give and taking of things. For example Octavia and Vinyl are paying for the house in exchanged for me performing at Vinyl’s rave,” replied Alex flicking his tail around, Rainbow Dash landed next to Alex.

“Why would Octavia pay you? She has nothing to do with the rave?” Asked Rainbow Dash rubbing her head with her hoof, Alex laughed little bit.

“You see Rainbow Dash, she wants me to perform with her at the Gala this year, because some pony could not make it this year,” replied Alex about to open his closest door, but Alex stopped and sniffed the air. Rainbow just looked at Alex with a weird look on her face, Alex just pulled her be hide him. Alex opened the door from the side, when he opened the door the sound of a cannon went off and confetti shot out.

“Alex how did you know that the cannon was on the other side?” asked Rainbow Dash walking inside the long closet, Rainbow Dash grabbed Alex’s bag.

“You see Rainbow Dash; the reason why I knew the cannon was inside my closet was that I smelled Pinkie Pie’s sent in my closet. Also and Gia helped her get in, and it was Gia who put the cannon inside, the cannon still has her sent,” replied Alex has he took his bag from Rainbow Dash and pulled out some glow sticks, so he could teach Rainbow how to dance with glow sticks. After a few hours Alex and Rainbow Dash started to go outside, when Alex opened the door water fell over Alex, Pinkie Pie was on the roof with a bucket. Alex looked up and growled at Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash hit the floor laughing harder than she ever had laughed before.
Later that night when the sun went down, Applejack and Neko where in the barn together so they may cure the curse of the poison joke. A tub of water was in the barn for them to change back to their normal sleeves. Twilight entered the barn with Gia, Applejack and Neko got into the tub. The tub had special herbs in it that would cure poison joke. Applejack put some of the water in her mouth and then she kissed Neko. They each dove under the water, when they breached the water Neko looked down and he saw he had his paws back, and AJ looked down and saw her hooves. The two of them kissed again, Gia and Twilight just smiled at the two of them.

“So are you free tomorrow, I really want to see what kind of magic you do?” asked Twilight looking at Gia.

“Yea sure, Say I have a book for you back at the library, which I need to give you,” replied Gia as moved her ears towards Twilight. Applebloom and Babs ran over Applejack, Applejack stopped kissing Neko to talk to them.

“What do you two want?” asked AJ getting out of the tub.

“Are you two dating now?” asked Applebloom in reply, Neko just rolled his eyes. Applejack just smiled a little bit.

“Yes. Yes we are sager cube,” replied AJ rubbing her sister’s head. Applejack took Applebloom and Babs back inside. Gia and Twilight went back to the library, and Neko made sure to grab AJ’s hat. He put her hat next to his hay bed, and he went to sleep.
When AJ got inside she took a deep breath, she made sure that she was her old self. She sat at the table and made herself something to eat. Big Mac was enjoying his salad, AJ liked being a cat for a day, but she did want to be a cat for life. AJ could hear granny Smith snoring in her room. The night was still young, but AJ was very sleepy after her long and weird day. When she was done eating, she went to her room and fell asleep.

Alex was hanging out at Vinyl and Octavia’s place to eat dinner. Vinyl and Octavia where eating their salad well Alex was eating his fish. They were talking about music, and other things. When they were done eating, they went and sat in front of the fire place. Octavia brought out some tea, she gave Alex some tea. He sniffed at the tea, it seemed all right to him, and so he took sip of it. He really liked the taste of it, so he took another sip. Octavia just smiled at him, and gave Vinyl a cup. The three of them talked for little bit longer, then they heard a knock at the door. Alex sniffed the air and he knew that it was Pinkie Pie. Vinyl opened the door and Pinkie Pie was at the door. Pinkie Pie walked over to Alex and sat next to him.
“Pinkie Pie I don’t want to pull anymore jokes on you. Besides I can tell you are the best at jokes in Ponyville. So I give up” said Alex throwing his paws in the air. Pinkie just smiled and walked out.

“Okay,” replied Pinkie before she shut the door, Vinyl and Octavia just look over at Alex, he just put his face in his right paw.

The art of magic

It was early in the morning and still dark outside, Gia was reading more of Twilight’s books using the light of a small orb of light so that Gia could read, she could hear Spike snoring in the background. Twilight woke up to the sound of her pet owl flying thru the window. Twilight walked down stairs to investigate where the light was coming from down stairs. She saw Gia read one of her books, but she was still half asleep. Gia looked up, to see if Twilight needed anything. Gia’s tail flicked around the air, Twilight looked up and saw the small orb of light above Gia’s head.

“Say Gia, what is that small bit of light? Did you make it with your magic?” asked Twilight still looking at it. Gia looked up at the light above her, her ears shot towards Spike snoring.

“This is a mage light, or that’s what we magic users call it where I come from. Yes Twilight I made it.” Replied Gia reading her book, Twilight just kept looking at the light.

“So what are you reading there Gia?” asked Twilight trying not to fall asleep. Gia sat the book on the nearby table; she sighed deeply and looked for at Twilight.

“I was reading the third book of Daring Do; I have to say it is a very good read. About an hour ago I finished the second book, It just had me on the edge of my seat.” Replied Gia watching her voice so she did not wake Spike up, Twilight rubbed her eyes and she snapped awake. Somehow talking about books got Twilight out of her drowzeeness spell. The two of talked about Darning Do and the first two books. When Spike got out of bed, he walked down stairs like a zombie. The morning birds sung their songs, Gia stood up and stretched, the mage light went out and Twilight wanted to learn more about her friend and her kind. Gia’s ears pointed towards the door, and a knock was herd. Twilight opened the door with magic, and a pale pink unicorn named Sea Swirl, she was here to pick up a book about sea life. Twilight did not give out her books very often, but she let other ponies borrow them, if they really wanted to read a book like Rainbow Dash and Darning Do, also if they wanted to learn about a topic that they loved. Spike was eating some gem stones and Gia was eating some fish. Twilight talked to Sea Swirl for a little bit, when Sea Swirl left, Twilight joined her friends at the table to eat. After breakfast Gia went back to reading Darning Do, Twilight did some homework that Princess Celestia had given her, Spike started to do his chores around the library. When Gia and Twilight where done, they headed out to go hang out with Rarity.

“Gia, can you tell me about magic from your homeland?” asked Twilight shutting the door be hide them.

“You see Twilight, there are many Anthromals that know the art of magic, but they are mostly foxes. I only know the mage light spell, and some healing spells.” Replied Gia has she looked at her paw.

“What kind of magic do foxes know?” asked Twilight again; Gai just laughed a little bit inside.

“There are three types of foxes, one type of foxes can create their own fire called foxfire, and another type fox can transform themselves into all most anything, and can use random objects into weapons, this is known as fox magic. The last type can use both foxfire and magic. Other Anthromals like me can perform many different arts of magic.” Replied Gia, Twilight’s eyes grew bigger.

“Gia how can you tell if a fox transformed into something else?” asked Twilight looking at Gia, she just looked back and smiled.

“When a fox transforms into let’s say a pony, one of their features stays after they have transformed. Sometimes it’s their ears, or their tail, but something all ways gives it away. I know two foxes back home, maybe someday you will meet them.” Said Gia has she walked towards Rarity’s house. Twilight just smiled, and walked after Gia. The two of them stopped at the market place to get some things for Rarity. They walked over to that sold fabric and got some silk for Rarity, they turned around to see Zecora shopping to, and she did not see Twilight and Gia yet, so they went off to Rarity’s house. When they got to Rarity’s the door was opened so they let themselves in, Rarity was up stairs working on something. When Rarity was done she came down stairs, to see her friends waiting for her.

“So Rarity what were you making up stairs?” asked Twilight, Gia gave over the silk that Rarity asked for, and Rarity gave Twilight some money.

“I was working on something for Gia that she could wear to the Gala.” Replied Rarity looking at the silk, Gia just put a paw on the back of her head.

“I hope you know, you didn’t have to do this.” Said Gia not knowing how to react, Rarity and Twilight just looked at each other and laughing, they stopped when Gia growled at them.

“Gia, I making this outfit because, I want you to have something nice to wear at the Gala. So I hope you like it, when it’s done.” Said Rarity smiling at Gai, Twilight just looked at her two friends.

Vinyl, Octavia, and Alex sat down to eat a late breakfast, well talking about things that need to be done for the rave that weekend, as well as Alex performing at the Grand Gala. Vinyl and Octavia where eating their oats and Alex had his dried meat.

“So Alex what musical interments do you play?” asked Octavia as she sipped some tea, Alex smiled a little bit.

“I can play the electric villain.” Replied Alex swallowing some meat, Vinyl like that Alex plays the electric villain, and not just a normal villain. Octavia just took another sip of tea.

“So do you play anything else Alex?” asked Vinyl as she was thinking of some music ideas that Alex and her could do.

“I can play the cello and I can sing to, I know that is not a musical interment, but I’m learning how to piano.” Replied Alex as he took a bite of meat, Octavia was now very impressed with Alex music talent, and Vinyl came up with a great idea for all three of them to perform together in Canterlot.

“Say Alex, Tavi. I have great idea; we can put all our great talent together, and perform in Canterlot. Tavi if you would play electric cello, and Alex play the electric villain, and I could use my DJ table, to mix my style with both of yours and we make something really epic.” Said Vinyl has grabbed both Octavia and Alex with her hooves bringing them together.

“Vinyl that is a good idea, but I love my cello. I must say we should do this, maybe after your rave and before the Gala, if we are ready.” Replied Octavia as she took yet another sip of tea. Alex gave some idea, to the words that Vinyl have spoken and came up with his idea.

“I like this idea of yours Vinyl, but I must say this one thing about this great idea. We should use this great idea to raise money to give to others in need, as well to make all three of us, show all of Canterlot, what we can create with our talent.” Said Alex putting a paw to his chin.

Rarity, and Twilight were talking about what they were going to do at the Gala this year, Gia just looked at all of Rarity’s dresses that she had made, she looked over at the design for her Rarity had laying out on the table, Gia smiled at the design and walked over to Twilight and Rarity. Twilight was telling Rarity about her morning. Rarity looked over at Gia to see what she was up to.

“Gia what are you doing?” asked Rarity has she walked over to Gia, Twilight looked over at her two friends.

“Just looking at your work, I have to say, you are very good at what you do.” Replied Gia looking at one of the dresses, Rarity was glad to hear that Gia liked her work.

“I’m glad you like it, you will soon have one yourself. Now Twilight, Gia I must be off. I’m going to Canterlot for a few days.” Said Rarity taking a deep breath, so Gia and Twilight left to go to Ponyville’s magic library, Gia liked walking around town seeing every pony. Some of the ponies in town where still sacred of Gia, and others liked to see a new face. Gia could see Rainbow Dash doing her job with the weather, it seemed like it was going to rain this afternoon. Twilight was humming a song to herself, Gia looked over at Twilight.

“Say Twilight what are you humming there?” asked Gia flicking her ears and tail, Twilight looked over at Gia.

“Well it was a song that I sang when I came to Ponyville two years ago, it is called winter wrap up. Say Gia how does your home land clean up winter?” Asked Twilight looking at Gia, she was not sure that Gia has ever cleaned up winter.

“You see, in my home land we don’t raise a paw to end winter, it just stops being winter and spring just comes on its own.” Replied Gia as she walked on, Twilight was surprised about what Gia just said, then again Gia and her come from very different lands. Twilight and Gia ran into Applejack and Neko who were on their way to get Applebloom and Babs.

“Hay brother, how you doing?!” asked Gia running towards Neko, Applejack and Twilight smiled at the two siblings. Gia gave Neko a hug, but Neko just took a deep breath and hugged his sister.

“Hay there Applejack, are you two dating yet?” asked Twilight as she and Applejack looked at Neko. Applejack just blushed a little bit.

“Yes Twilight, we are dating. Also my big brother is not sure how to react, but he wants me to be happy, and Granny Smith thinks I’m pulling her leg. Applebloom does not know yet, but I think she has some kind of idea.” Replied Applejack still blushing, Neko kissed his sister’s forehead, and walked over to Twilight and Applejack. Gia and Twilight talked to AJ and Neko for a little bit, till they had to go.

“So my brother is dating your friend, this could be the thing my brother needs.” Said Gia flicking her tail, Twilight looked at her friend.

“So Gia, how do you feel about that your brother having a pony as his mate?” Asked Twilight kicking the ground with a hoof, unsure of Gia’s answer.

“Well, Twilight I must say it is a little weird, but then again it is what my brother wants. Also Twilight he is most likely to become a pony, if he wants them to be truly happy.” Replied Gia as looked at the direction that AJ and Neko walked way.

A friendly paw, a caring hoof

Twilight and Gia decided to go to Canterlot so they could read more about magic. So they caught the train to Canterlot. It took about three hours to get there. Once thet got there Rarity went to do what she had planned and Gia and Twilight walked to the Library of magic. Once they got inside the library of magic, the library was huge; Gia was surprised on how big the library was. Twilight just rolled her eyes; they went over to a table after they pulled some books about the history of magic of Equestria. Gia was in heaven, Twilight knew that Gia would love to come and read all about magic. The library was full of unicorns, and some of them did not like seeing Gia in the library of magic. Twilight paid them no mind, but on hoof Gia hated being stared at, she started to growl, well she was still reading her book. Twilight looked over at Gia, her ears were down and Twilight never seen her ears down before. Twilight was worried about her friend, so Twilight thought about what she should do.

“Gia are you ok?” asked Twilight as she bumped Gia’s arm, Gia just growled at Twilight.

“You would not understand Twilight, but I really wish that those ponies would stop staring at me,” replied Gia growling in between words. Twilight put her hoof on Gia’s paw, so she would put the book down. Gia just looked at Twilight confused, but Gia was glad that Twilight was descanting her from all the staring eyes. Twilight got closer to Gia’s ear.

“I want to help you, but I can only help if I know more about you,” said Twilight, Everypony started to wispier something among them sleeves, Gia glanced over at Twilight.

“Twilight trust me it’s a cat thing…” before Gia could finish what she was going say, Twilight kissed Gia on her cheek, Gia’s hears stood up, and her eyes grew big. One of the unicorns in the library started to laugh a little bit, Gia gently push Twilight to the side, and walked over to the unicorn who was laughing, Twilight walked over to Gia.

“What is wrong with you guys?” asked Twilight staring at one of the laughing unicorns. Gia slammed a paw on the table, Twilight herd some ponies stomach growl, then Twilight figured out that it was Gia’s stomach. Twilight started to push Gia out of the library with her magic. When they got out of the outside of the library, Gia ran to the train station has fast she could, so Twilight ran after her. When Twilight found Gia at the train station she was crying, her face had some blood on it and a dead rat was on the ground next to her paws.

“Twilight I want to just want to be liked by Everypony, but it seems like there are three kinds of ponies, ponies like you and your friends, ponies who are just scared of me, and then there are the ones like those unicorns who want to make fun of me because I’m not like them,” said Gia as she wiped a tear away from her eye with her clean paw. Twilight just looked at her friend, she loved her friend Gia, but she was sad about what happened in the library to Gia.

Back in Ponyville Applejack was talking to Fluttershy, well Applebloom and her friends were playing with Willow Harpnote and all of Fluttershy’s animals. Neko sat on top of Fluttershy’s cottage; Applejack and Fluttershy were talking about all kind of things.

“So Twilight and Gia went to Canterlot a few hours ago to do all kind of magic stuff. So Fluttershy how have you been?” asked AJ sitting down at the table. Fluttershy got some tea for them to drink.

“I have been doing all right AJ. So how are things for you?” replied Fluttershy pouring the tea into some cups.

“Things have been going great, in fact Neko and I are dating,” said Applejack blushing a little bit, Fluttershy shouted for joy with her little voice. Applejack took a sip of some tea, Fluttershy was shouting for joy.

“I’m glad you happy, so is family think about you two?” asked Fluttershy taking a sip of tea, AJ look at the window. Neko jumped down from off the roof and walked inside, he took a bite from his meat apple and sat down. Fluttershy just smiled at Neko, with her stare. Neko just flicked his ears towards the window, so he could make sure that Applebloom and her friends don’t get in trouble. Applejack took a deep breath and took another sip of tea.

“So Applejack when are we going to let your sister now about us?” asked Neko as he grabbed AJ’s hoof.

“Not yet sugar cube, but we need to do some time soon.” Replied Applejack looking at her sister playing, Fluttershy poured Neko some tea. Neko took a sniff at the tea, and took a sip of it.

“Does Applebloom know you two are dating?” asked Fluttershy petting her pet bunny that was sacred of Neko.
“Yes, I think she does, but we need to tell her how we are going to end up in the end.” Replied Applejack.

Applebloom and her friends were playing outside of Fluttershy’s cottage. The five of them were playing with Fluttershy’s animals.

“So Applebloom is your sister dating that cat for real?” asked Sweetie Belle as she picked up a baby rabbit. Scootaloo and Willow Harpnote came and sat next to Applebloom, Babs, and Sweetie Belle.

“Yes she is, I don’t want to lose her. I liked Neko, but I don’t him taking my sister from me,” replied Applebloom as she was pulling some grass out of the dirt.

“You know Applebloom; you should not jump to conclusions till you know, what is going to happen.” Willow Harpnote said as she was petting the rabbit in Sweetie Belle’s hooves.

The five of them kept talking about what Applebloom was so worried about, Neko came back from inside and looked at the young fillies. Babs and Scootaloo waved at him, and Neko just waved back. Willow Harpnote just looked at Neko and was thinking about how Applebloom’s sister and Gia’s brother could like each other, she just thought they looked cute together. Neko climbed back on top of the cottage, Applejack and Fluttershy came out shortly after wards. Applebloom gave her sister a hug; AJ just hugged her sister back. Rainbow Dash and Rarity came by to get Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle and take them home. Babs and Willow played around some more after Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle went home.

“Say AJ, I need to know…” started Applebloom, but she cut off.

“Applebloom, you will be getting a new sister and brother in the future, if Neko and I decide to get married some time,” said Applejack rubbing her sister’s mane, Applebloom’s mouth just dropped.

“You mean Neko and Gia will be a part of the Apple family?” asked Applebloom as she looked over at Neko. Neko just nodded his head.

“Willow do you mind telling me what you are doing here?” asked Summer Song as she walked up to the cottage, Neko just growled a little bit.

“I’m just playing with my friends’ sis,” replied Willow as she walked towards her sister.

“I hope you had fun, because you won’t be playing with these fillies again,” said Summer Song stomping her hoof down, Applebloom and Babs jaws just dropped to the ground. Willow was trying to hold back her tears so she could talk.

“Summer, you’re not mom or dad, so don’t tell me who I can be friends with. All the stories you tell me about when you where my age, I now know that filly died a long time ago by hate. I found that out when we moved here. All I ever see you do here is bully AJ, and her friends. You never had any friends, and that because, No pony want to be around you,” Willow said holding her tears back the best she could. When she could no longer be with her sister, she ran into the Everfree forest.

“You know Summer, we would all be your friends, if you did not act the way you do. Applebloom and her friends are Willow’s only friends here in Ponyville. So I can understand why your sister is so upset with you. Summer Song may be your name, but it does not match your actions. Summer is warm and bright, and songs are nice to hear. However all I see right now is some pony being bitter about what happened years ago. My boyfriend and the others had nothing to do with that.” Applejack said stomping her hoof down, Neko had never seen AJ act like this, but he was glad to hear Applejack say what she did. Applebloom and Babs were happy that Applejack what not chewing them out.

“Ha, you’re a fool Applejack….” Summer Song started, but before she said another word Neko had grabbed AJ, so she wouldn’t fight Summer. Fluttershy flew over to Summer Song.

“No pony calls my friend a fool; you should keep your mouth shut if you’re going to say anything like that again!” yelled Fluttershy, Neko had no idea that Fluttershy had that in her. Summer Song started walking into the forest to find her sister. Applebloom never seen this side of Fluttershy, she knew that Fluttershy is not a pony to mess with, but.

When Gia and Twilight got back to Ponyville, Gia ran off to the Everfree forest to hunt. Twilight went to Sweet Apple Acres to talk to Neko. When Gia got into the forest, she was no longer hungry after she ate a few more rats. Gia was picking her teeth, when she heard a scream for help. Gia jumped down from tree she was in and ran to help the pony who called for help. As Gai got closer she could smell Summer Song’s scent. She hang over a cliff, she had grabbed an old tree root. Gia just looked down at Summer Song growling. Gia laid down on the dirt holding her paw out, so Summer Song could grab it. All Summer Song could see was a leopard with glowing eyes.

“Grab my paw!” yelled Gia as she reached out her paw has far as she could.

“No way, you’re just going to kill me!” Summer Song yelled back, almost as she was done yelling the tree root started to give way.

“If you don’t take my paw you will die, but in your mind you think you’re going to die no matter which way you pick, so death by falling or a chance to proof that you are right about me and my kind.” Gia said trying to reach some more, Summer Song grabbed Gia’s paw and Gia pulled her back on top of the cliff.

“So why didn’t you kill me?” asked Summer Song looking back over the cliff.

“What are you doing here?” replied Gia looking over the place.

“I’m looking for my sister, she ran in here a few hours ago.” Summer Song replied looking around, but it was too dark for her to see anything let alone her sister or the ground.

“So you ponies can’t see in the dark I take it, well I will help you find you little sister.” Gia said as she took a deep breath in. In almost no time at all Gia had found Willow.
“Willow Harpnote I was so sacred I had lost you forever.” Summer Song said well hugging her little sister. Willow was shocked by what her sister said, but more shocked she was with Gia. After little talk the two sisters and Gia walked back to Ponyville. Willow was asleep on Summer’s back snoring away.

“Gia, I thank you very much about what you did for me, but I still won’t forget that your kind killed my family. Then again you did save my life, so I’ll remember that your kind can do nice things. I never knew this till my sister told me this, but I have grasping on my hate for years now and it’s going to be hard to let go of.” Summer Song replied as she put her head to the ground.

“You after what happened in Canterlot today and when I saw you a part of me didn’t want to save you, but I knew saving you would be the right thing to do.” Replied Gia with a smile, Summer Song rose her head up.

“Can you tell me what happened?” asked Summer Song.

“You see, there was a group of unicorns who were staring at me, and felt like they were judging me, but when Twilight tried to help me out, they started to laugh at us.” Said Gia as her ears laid down on her head. After a little bit they saw Fluttershy’s cottage and they went their own ways.

Meanwhile Twilight went to Sweet Apple Acres to talk to Neko. She saw him walking out the house, so she ran after him. Neko turned around to see what Twilight wanted.

“Can I help you out Twilight?” asked Neko, Twilight took a deep breath in and let it out slowly.

“I need to talk to you about what happened in Canterlot today.” Replied Twilight, after she was done explaining to Neko what happened to them, Neko was quit for a little while.

“Thank you for trying her best to help my sister not hurt any pony, even if you did kiss her. I will let you know this, Gia has a mate back home and he will be here in a few weeks, even if she does not know yet, so don’t try anything.” Neko said flicking his tail at a bug. Twilight and Neko talked for a little bit more, then Twilight went back home. When Twilight saw Gia waiting out front for her, Twilight ran over to Gia.

“I’m so sorry about kissing you Gia.” Twilight said blushing, Gia just smiled back at her.

“Twilight don’t be sorry about that, it was how you felt. It was very surprising to me, but I have a mate all ready Twilight. I don’t care why you kissed me, but I thank you for helping me out.” Gia said hugging Twilight, Twilight wisped something in Gia’s ear.

“So thanks for understanding Gia, and I wish you and your mate the best of luck.” Twilight said after stepping away from Gia.

“Anytime Twilight, and what about my paws?” replied Gia as she and Twilight walked inside the library.

Stamp on the ground

After a full week of planning with Vinyl and teaching Rainbow Dash some dance moves for the rave that Vinyl was planning, Alex was dead tried and yet he still had hours of work he must do before tonight. Alex was in town hall working on wiring up the lights and the sound broad. Vinyl was helping him by get some songs ready to play. Octavia was back at home playing her cello, and Rainbow Dash was busy doing her job as a weather pony. Alex was under the DJ table doing his thing well, Vinyl tried not to step or trip over Alex.

“So Alex what is your big plan for tonight?” asked Vinyl looking threw all her songs, Alex just took a deep breath.

“I’m working on the lights and the keyboard so whenever you hit a different key some of the lights above the dance floor will turn on and off. Also some of my friends are bringing me pressure lights and some screens to go over the lights.” Alex replied.

“Alex what are pressure lights?” asked Vinyl as she looked down at Alex.

“You see Vinyl, they are a kind of light when you step on them they turn on, and when take your hoof or paw off of them they turn off. I’m surprised you never heard of them.” Said Alex looking up at Vinyl, she just smiled at him. After a little bit Alex was done hooking up the table with the lights overhead. Vinyl started playing on the key board and the lights went crazy. Alex was very pleased with his work. Alex and Vinyl went outside to wait for Alex’s friends.

“So Alex what do your friends look like?” asked Vinyl as she watched other ponies walk by.

“It will be to young anthromal fox twins, no bigger than a filly unless they shape shifted.” Alex replied smelling the air. Twilight and Gia walked by to see how things were going for the Rave.

“Hay there Alex, Vinyl, so how are things going for the rave tonight?” asked Gia as she sat next to Alex.

“Things are doing fine, just waiting for the young trouble makers.” Alex said waving a paw in the air. The four of them talked for a while, till Alex and Gia stood and up and waved at to ponies pulling a chart. Twilight didn’t know why Alex and Gia wear waving, but Vinyl had a good idea.

Meanwhile at the Apple farm Applejack, Big Mac, and Neko wear picking and bucking apples for Vinyl’s order. Babs and Applebloom took the day off from school so they could help Granny Smith make the cider for tonight. Applejack and Big Mac wear working hard at their apple bucking, while Neko grabbed the buckets that wear full of apples and putting them in a wagon, so Big Mac could take it back the barn. Vinyl had ordered twenty barrels of cider, and they only had made nine barrels. After a while the wagon got full, so Big Mac pulled it back to the barn. Neko and AJ took a little breather before they want back to work. Applejack told Neko the story of when Flim and Flam where in Ponyville last winter. Neko liked hearing how the two sales ponies got ran out of town. Neko and Applejack gave each other a kiss, and went back to work, so they could be done time Big Mac came back. Applejack liked working with Neko, for Neko he just liked to help out where he is needed, but he still liked being close to AJ. Shortly after the two of them got back to work a young mare, about AJ’s age came trotting towards them. It was Carrot Top; she had a pale gold body and a carrot colored mane and tail. Neko paid her no mind and kept working. Carrot Top walked for to Applejack, so she could talk to her.

“Hay AJ, I see you’re hard at work like you all ways seem to be.” Carrot Top proclaimed.

“I sure am. I got to fill out this order for Vinyl’s party tonight.” AJ replied bucking the apples off from the tree.

“It seems to me that this party is making Everypony some money. Like Sugar cube corner just got some carrots from me, a little while ago.

“So what brings you here?” asked Applejack as she went over to anther tree so she could buck the apples.

“I just wanted to see how you were doing; beside I heard your dating that cat over there.” Carrot Top replied as she pointed to Neko with her hoof. Applejack just kicked the tree and the apples fell off.

“Yes I’m doing just fine and yes I’m dating that cat over there. Has you can see I don’t have time to sit and talk right know, but you are more than welcome to help me buck these apples.” Applejack replied taking a deep breath.

Alex and Gia walked up to the two earth ponies pulling the cart, so they may talk with them. Twilight and Vinyl just followed their friends to talk to these ponies.
“I’m so glad to see that you two made it here on time, but just turn back to normal for now.” Alex said rubbing a paw on one of their heads. The two ponies turned into two clouds of smoke after a booming sound and two young anthromal red foxes stood by the wagon. They were brother and sister. The sister name was Vulpine, and her brother was called Charan. The two were as tall as Applebloom and her friends, but they were about the same age has Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Twilight was shocked about how good they were on their transformation spell.

“Oh come on Alex just because were foxes, that does not mean we are late for everything.” Vulpine snapped, Alex just rolled his eyes at her.

“I don’t think he means you are late because your foxes, but you do get yourselves in trouble making you late.” Replied Gia laughing a little bit, Charan just tapped his paw on the dirt.

“We told the Princess of this land that we would not make any trouble to that scale, so here we are on time.” Said Charan trying to bigger then what he really was; Vulpine gave herself a face paw. Alex and Vinyl pulled the cart inside so they could set up the lights that the foxes had brought. In the meantime Twilight wanted to know more about the fox twins.

“I heard a lot about you two and your magic from Gia, and I would like to learn more about.” Said Twilight looking down at the two foxes, Vulpine snapped her fingers together and some emerald green flames shot out and spun around her, the funnel of flames grew bigger till Twilight was looking at herself. Twilight looked hard at Vulpine and saw that her sharp white teeth were still in her mouth.

“Say Vulpine that really cool, but I can see your sharp teeth when you smile.” Said Gia looking at the Twilight and Vulpine, Charan lifted up Vulpine’s back lag.

“Say sis, you’re going to be leaving some paw mark when you walk.” Replied Charan putting his sister’s back leg down, Gia and Twilight laughed a little bit. Vulpine went back to normal, and the four of them went out to go eat.

Twilight, Gai, and the fox twins walked over to a dinner to eat some lunch. Twilight got herself a salad; well the other had dried meat to eat. Twilight looked around and she saw a lot of ponies she didn’t know.

“So Vulpine, Charan, can you tell me what you can do with fox magic besides transformation spells?” asked Twilight turning her head over to the foxes.

“Fox magic is mostly used for transformation spells, but Charan use it to shrink, and I use it to for many other things, like teleporting short distances.” Replied Vulpine as Charan shrunk down on the table and Vulpine popped on a nearby roof and back. Charan was just as big as Twilight’s hoof. Twilight look in awe at Charan, after a little while he did a back flip and went to his normal size and landed in his chair.

“Those where some awesome tricks, I know how to teleport, but I no idea that foxes could do the same thing. Also Charan that was a nice trick you did by shrinking yourself, but why would you want to be that small?” replied Twilight still in awe.

“Twilight, my brother just likes to be that small for some reason, even if he runs the risk of being stepped on” Vulpine explained to Twilight.

“Twilight you will find out that the twins are good at what they do.” Said Gia swallowing some meat, Twilight wanted to learn more about fox magic.

“So Vulpine, what are you and your brother good at?” asked Twilight.

“Back when, before my brother and I met Gia and the other we did what we had to live.” Replied Vulpine after taking a bite of meat, Twilight just wanted to know everything about her two new friends.

“So Charan, how long are you staying here in Ponyville?” asked Gia looking over at him.

“We are just staying till Monday.” Charan replied flicking his ears.

“So where are you to going to live after you leave?” asked Twilight.

“We will be meeting up with a Unicorn named Trixie, and we will be traveling with her.” Replied Vulpine waving her paw in the air, Twilight was confused why they would they want to hang out with Trixie. They finshed eating their lunch and they went over to Twilight’s place to talk some more. Gia was unsure about having the twins in Ponyville, because to her Ponyville would make a great playground for them. Gia was glad to see that the twins acted their age for ounce.

Back on the farm Neko, AJ, and Carrot Top just got done with bucking apples. Big Mac came by to pick up the apples. When they got all the buckets of apples on to the wagon, they went back to the barn. AJ and Carrot Top talked all the way back to the barn, while Neko and Big Mac didn’t say a word. Neko and Big Mac didn’t hate each other, but rather they had nothing to talk about. When they got back Big Mac went to his room to take a nap, Neko ate some lunch, Applebloom and Babs went to the club house, and Applejack and Carrot Top talked some more while making a huge lunch for every pony who helped out.

“So how do you like dating Neko?” asked Carrot Top as she gave AJ a nudge.

“I have to say Carrot Top, it’s been great. Even if we met each other all most two weeks ago, I feel like I’m alive for the first time. I mean having you, Twilight, and the others as friends was fun and all, but it Neko is just I don’t know how to explain it.” Replied Applejack blushing, Carrot Top just laughed a little bit.

“So Applejack, I must say you really do love him don’t you? I must say having friends is a superb thing to have, but having a very special some pony is the best, or a cat for you.” Said Carrot Top washing some apples off, Applejack just turned to look at her friend.

“Thanks Carrot, that means a lot to me. Also thanks for helping out today.” Replied Applejack as she smiled over at Carrot Top. Neko came inside the house and gave Applejack a kiss on her for head and helped them out with cleaning all the fruit and vegetables for their lunch. Applejack just smiled at him, Carrot Top just laughed at AJ a little bit.

“So Neko how do you like dating a pony?” asked Carrot Top nudging Neko.

“I love dating Applejack, it is more fun then I first believed it would be. Sadly I can’t eat fresh meat in front of her.” Replied Neko as he washed some carrots, AJ just rolled her eyes.

“The main reason I don’t let him, is because it makes me sick to my stomach.” Said AJ looking over at Neko’s face, when they were done the whole family sat done to eat well, and then Neko played outside with Winona. Applejack and Applebloom watched Neko play with Winona, AJ thought it to be very cute, that the the two of them became friends.

After Everypony was done eating their launch, AJ and Neko took a nap in the barn, while Applebloom and Babs ran over to the school to see Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Willow. Big Mac took all the cider to Vinyl’s place. Carrot Top went home to take her nap, while Granny Smith was doing who knew what. Neko and Applejack just talked before they went to sleep. It was still six hours till the party even started. Applejack just looked over at Neko who had just had fallen asleep. She looked at Neko’s paws to his face, looking just to look. Neko yawned and AJ got a good look at his teeth. After a while Applebloom came home, the four young fillies ran into the barn, Neko and Applejack woke up to see them running around. Applejack walked inside the house so she could sleep in there. Neko got up and went to the upper level of the barn to hunt mice and rats. The young fillies just played their games. Neko looked down at the fillies and smelled the air, someone was about to walk inside. Alex opened the door as well as Octavia walked inside, Neko jumped down to see what Alex wanted.

“I see you’re done with Vinyl’s order. So Neko could have Applejack or Big Mac bring it to town hall.” Said Alex reaching out his paw, Neko grabbed Alex’s paw.

“Yeah sure Alex, so is everything ready for tonight?” asked Neko flicking one of his ears. Octavia just watched the young fillies played, she remembered the days when she was young. Alex looked over at Octavia and put a paw on back. Octavia looked up at Alex; the two of them walked out and head back to Octavia’s place. When they got back Vinyl was sound asleep up stairs. Octavia welcomed the peace and quiet, when she walked down stairs she saw Alex asleep on the couch. Octavia put a blanket over Alex and she went back upstairs to her room to play her cello. She had all day to herself, no Vinyl and her wubs, and she did not mind Alex sleeping on the couch, but she didn’t want to wake him up. She started to play her cello, so she could create a nice mood for the house.

Later that night Alex, Rainbow Dash, and Vinyl where getting everything ready to go for the rave. Alex made sure the pressure lights were working and pulled some glows sticks aside to sell to anypony who came to the rave. Vinyl was working on her sound broad, well Rainbow Dash got a head count of all the ponies waiting in line. Applejack and Neko came with the apple cider and Pinkie Pie came with the food. After a little while Rainbow Dash came back inside with her report.

“Okay Vinyl, I got what you asked for.” Said Rainbow Dash as she flew over to Vinyl, Vinyl looked up so she could talk to Rainbow Dash.

“All right Rainbow Dash, what do you have for me?” asked Vinyl looking up at Dash.

“There is about 1000 ponies waiting to come in line for the rave.” Replied Rainbow Dash still hovering over Vinyl, Alex mouth just dropped and Vinyl was glad there were so many ponies. Applejack and Neko got the apple cider ready to go, and Pinkie got the food all ready to go. Vinyl got the music ready and started to play some music playing. Neko and Rainbow Dash got ready for the dance. Vinyl turned off the lights and turned on the spotlights and the pressure lights. The music could be heard from outside, Everypony in line got super excited for the rave to start. Twilight was in line with Spike so they could go to their first rave. Gia, Summer Song, and the fox twins were right beside Twilight. Gia and Summer Song where talking with each other and Twilight and Spike were talking with the fox twins, a lot of the other ponies were talking about so many different things. Charan and Vulpine talked to Twilight about magic well Spike just took a little nap. Gia and Summer Song were talking about their pasts. When the doors opened to town hall the line of ponies walked up to pay for the rave. When Twilight and the others walked in, the sound of music was over welling. Different colored lights turning on and off, Alex and Rainbow Dash were dancing on the pressure lights. Alex had a glow stick around his neck and two of them on strings around his wrists as well as on his ankles. Rainbow Dash had glow sticks around her neck as well; she had them also around each hoof. The lights they were dancing on were a light show all on their own. Vinyl’s DJ table was all decked out; she put out wubs to match Rainbow and Alex’s dance. When Alex and Rainbow Dash finished their first dance, they took a break to talk to their friends. Alex sat down with Gia, and Summer and Rainbow Dash sat with Twilight, Spike, and the Twins. Vinyl played some more music.

“That was a great dance you did Rainbow Dash.” Said Twilight drinking some cider, Rainbow Dash just shook her mane.

“Well Twilight I all ways do great at everything I do, but I rather become a wonder bolt then a raver.” Replied Rainbow Dash looking over at the dance floor, the twins where busy eating some dry meat. Vulpine looked over at Alex talking with Gia, she just rolled her eyes, and laughed a little bit.

“What is so funny over there Vulpine?” asked Twilight looking over at Alex and the others.

“Oh it’s nothing Twilight, you wouldn't get it.” Replied Vulpine swallowing some meat, the night went on for hours, when the party had ended, every pony was almost gone. Applejack needed to Babs to the train station, in about four hours. Vinyl and Alex had a great hit, even if they had to clean up the mess in town square.

A new life for all

Applejack, Neko, Applebloom, Vinyl, Octavia, Alex, Twilight, and Gia were all at the train station waiting for the train to Canterlot. Octavia and Alex were going to get Alex a Villain to play at the Gala in a few months. Gia and Neko were going for very different reasons. It had been two days after the rave, and everything was going to be all right.

“So Neko I wish you luck on your luck on becoming a citizen of Equestria,” said Applejack kissing Neko on his cheek.

“Gia are you taking the test to Gia?” asked Twilight.

“I sure am Twilight, also both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna wanted to see me for some reason,” repelled Gia. Applebloom got used to Applejack and Neko dating each other. After a little while the train came to pick them up. Octavia and Alex got on the train, while Neko gave Applejack one more kiss, before he left.

“I’ll be back in two days AJ,” said Neko getting on the train. Gia just hugged Twilight before she got on. Then train was full of ponies waiting to go to Canterlot. The four of them talked about many different things on their way. Alex and Octavia talked about music, while Neko and Gia studied for their test. It was two hours till they would get to Canterlot; a young filly walked up to the group and just stared at them. Gia and Neko were too busy to look at the young earth filly. The young filly walked away after a little while. After two hours they got to Canterlot, Neko and Gia went to the castle to take their test, and Octavia and Alex went to the music store. When Neko and Gia got to the castle a black Alicorn with a blue tail and mane named Luna was at the front gate waiting for them to come.

“Welcome back to the castle you guys. I hope your trip was pleasant?” Luna said walking towards them. Neko and Gia bowed before Princess Luna as she stepped in front of him.

“Our trip was ok,” Replied Gia.

“Thanks for meeting us here Princess,” said Neko standing back up. The three of them talked for a little longer, before they went inside the castle. The castle was huge, there was a stair case leading to the dance room, and the throne room. The three of them walked into the throne room, sitting on the throne was a white Alicorn with a multi-colored mane and tail. Then mane colors were green and pink. Luna walked outside of the throne room, Neko and Gia walked over to the Alicorn. Her guards just stood still, waiting to help their Princess.

“Hello Princess Celestia thank you for this chance of becoming citizens of your kingdom,” said Neko bowing down.

“Yes thank you so much,” said Gia.

“I’m glad you want to become citizens of this great land. So let’s see if you’re ready to become citizens of Equestria?” said Princess Celestia.

Alex and Octavia walked into one of the best music store in all of Canterlot. Inside the store there were a few earth ponies and a few unicorns. They all looked at Alex for a little bit and went back to whatever they were doing. Octavia looked over at Alex to see how he liked the store. The store sold everything music, Alex walked over to the villains and picked one up to play. As he played sweet music filled the room, Everypony stopped so they could listen to the sweet sound. Octavia just looked at Alex with dreamy eyes. Alex played for a little bit longer till he put the interment down.

“Alex that was so beautiful the way you play that villain,” said Octavia. Alex just smiled at Octavia, Everypony else went back to what they were doing. A young filly walked over to one of the pianos to play, when he stared to play, Alex walked over to the piano. The young filly was playing a very simple song, Alex just sat next to him and played the same song, but with different keys. Like magic the simple song became something Vinyl would enjoy. Octavia was surprised at Alex’s talent of music. After a little while the two of them left to go eat launch together.

“Thank you for bringing me to that store. I had such a great time there, it’s too bad that Vinyl didn’t want to join us,” Alex said taking a deep breath.

“Well Vinyl did want to hang out with you tonight,” replied Octavia.

“I know. Vinyl is cool to hang out with; she is also something very special,”

“So Alex, I’m glad you are having a good time.” Alex took a deep breath; he looked over at a rose bush. He walked up to, so he could get one. Octavia just gave him a weird look, Alex took the rose he picked and put on Octavia’s ear. Octavia blushed a little bit, and then the two of them walked to one of the dinners nearby.

When they got to the dinner, they sat down waiting for their waiter. Octavia looked around at the other ponies around them, somewhere unsure what to think and others just judge them. She didn’t care what others thought about them, she was glad that she was hanging out with Alex. A brown unicorn came and took Octavia’s order, and Alex didn’t order anything.

“I hope you don’t find rude of me to eat in front of you?” asked Octavia looking down at the ground.

“It’s ok; I’m used to it by now. I hope the others are ok?” replied Alex.

“I’m sure they are doing just fine. It has been a while, I wonder if Neko and Gia have past their test.”

“Who knows, but I know they will pass their test.” Octavia and Alex talked for a while, till a white leopard walked up to them. He was armored from head to paw; Everypony was unsure what to do. He had a sun on his chest plate.

“Have you taken your citizenship test Alex?” asked the snow Leopard flicking his ears. Alex took a deep breath.

“Not yet Cloud. Give me some time,” replied Alex rolling his eyes. The Unicorn came back with Octavia’s order.

“I heard that Octavia wants you to play at the Grab Gala, you need to be a citizen,” said Cloud with his ears laid back on his head.

“I’ll take the darn test Cloud and chill out,” said Alex. Cloud just left and headed back to the castle.

“So Alex who was your friend?” asked Octavia taking a bite of her salad.

“Cloud is Gia’s mate, also Cloud, Neko, and I caused so much trouble in the border towns when we were younger,” replied Alex. After a little while they headed over to the castle.

After Neko and Gia’s test, they went back to the throne room. Princess Luna was sitting next to the throne. Princess Celestia came into the throne room with Cloud and two Unicorn guards. Gia smiled as wide as she could when she saw Cloud. Celestia sat down on her throne and Cloud took off his helm and ran over to hug Gia.

“I’m glad to call you citizens of Equestria. Gia, Cloud could you two step out into the hall way for a bit.” Gia and Cloud stepped outside hall way. “Neko I want to talk to you, so what is on your mind?” asked Celestia.

“Well I want to marry Applejack, but I needed the power of an Alicorn to turn me into a werecat,” said Neko lowering his head.

“I would be happy to help you with your wish to become an Earth pony, so you can marry Applejack,” replied Princess Luna. Neko just smiled at Princess Luna.

“You do know you can never go back to your cat form once my sisters turns you into an Earth pony, you will only have that one night to become a cat,” said Princess Celestia. Neko just nodded.

“Princess Luna let me ask Applejack to marry first,” pleaded Neko. Luna just smiled at Neko.

Mean while Gia and Cloud were looking at the stain glass windows. They were standing in front of the stain glass window with Twilight and her defeating an alicorn known as Nightmare Moon.

“So I’m glad you could find work here in Canterlot Cloud,” said Gia staring at the window. Cloud wrapped his tail around hers. Gia kissed Cloud on his cheek; Cloud just turned around and kissed her on mouth.

“Thanks, depending on what happens in the next day or two I could be resigned to anther post,” replied Cloud has he looked at the window. Alex and Octavia walked over to Gia and Cloud, Gia ran over to them, well Cloud took his time.

“Alex I’m glad that your rave job went well,” said Cloud.

“Thanks. You should have come,” replied Alex.

“Say Gia, when I first saw him, he was so cold hearted; but now he’s so calm and nice, why is that?” asked Octavia.

“That is how he is. When he’s not working he’s so nice to be around, but when he’s working; he put100% of his time into it,” replied Gia smiling at her mate. The four of them talked for awhile till Neko walked out of throne room with Princess Luna.

“So we will be staying here at the castle tonight,” said Neko with a huge smile on his face. Luna went to one of the stained windows and sat in front of it. After a little while she went outside so she could raise the moon in a few hours.

“Say what was on the window that Princess Luna was looking at?” asked Gia.

“That is a stain glass window of Princess Luna’s first friend,” Replied Cloud looking at the window. Alex showed every one the rooms they would be sleeping in for the next few nights. The next day Octavia showed Alex around more of Canterlot, Gia and Cloud talked to Princess Celestia about some things; and Neko went to a gem store so he could propose to Applejack.

Paw and Hoof

A few days later after Neko and the other went to Canterlot; they were back at the back at the train stain, not to go home, but to see Twilight and her friends. Neko, Gia, and Alex were shocked that Twilight had become an Alicorn. She was to become a Princess; Cloud was to be her caption of the guard. Princess Luna flew down to see if the train had come yet, Cloud and everyone else bowed down.

“I see that the train has not come yet, Cloud I’m glad to you on duty today,” said Luna smiling at the group.

“Thank you Princess Luna, your sister wanted me to work for Twilight as soon as she gets here,” replied Cloud not even smiling. Neko sniffed the air and looked down the tracks to see if the train was coming. Neko saw the smoke from the train, but he could not hear it.

“Applejack and the others should be here in about an hour,” said Neko has calmly as possible. Octavia and Alex were playing music together while they waited. Octavia played her Cello, while Alex played the Villon. Gia was told she too was going to work for Twilight as her librarian. She was glad to help Twilight out with her library; Gia was just sitting on a beach reading a book. The book she was reading was about pony culture, Gia seemed to like it. Neko and Luna talked for a little bit about something, and Cloud was talking to some Pegasus guards. A mare unicorn walked up to Octavia and Alex, the unicorn was about 21 years old, she had a green and white mane and tail, and her body was a blue-ish green. Octavia stopped playing and waved at her, Alex just looked at the unicorn, so she just trotted over to Octavia.

“Hay there, Octavia how’s it going? Also who is your friend?” asked the unicorn.

“Good morning Lyra,” said Octavia. After a little while the train pulled up, Neko, Gia, Cloud, and Princess Luna waited for Twilight and her friends to come out. When Twilight and her friends came out, Applejack ran over to hug and kiss Neko, while Twilight talked to Princess Luna, and Gia. Rainbow flew over to Alex to talk to him, mean while every pony else was talking amongst themselves. Twilight wore a crown and see had wings, while the rest of her friends wore gold necklaces.

“Oh Neko I missed you so much,” said Apple after she kissed him. Neko just smiled at her.

“I missed you too. Say can I talk to you alone some time?” Neko replied.

“Sure you can sugar cube,” said AJ.

“Welcome Twilight, I hope your trip went well?” asked Luna. Twilight took a deep breath.

“It was fine, but I can’t get used to these wings,” Twilight said moving her wings around. Cloud stood still till Twilight talked to him. Twilight looked at him trying to find out what he was like.

“Twilight this is my mate Cloud. Princess Luna told me that he will be your caption of the guard,” Gia said smiling at Twilight. Five ponies came up to Cloud and one of them walked up to Cloud’s right side. She was a sky-blue Pegasus pony with a white mane and tail, named Winter Storm. The group left to go their own ways. Alex and Octavia got on a train to Ponyville, Twilight, Gia, Cloud, Luna, and the five guards went to the place. Mean while Neko and Applejack went to the palace garden to talk, and the other four Ponies want to the Palace sweets.

At the Palace garden Neko and AJ sat down on a bench to talk, Applejack knew something had to be up. The garden flowers filled the air with a sweet scent, birds’ song their songs, and bees made their honey.

“Applejack you look great with your necklace on,” said Neko holding an orange gem that looked like an apple.

“Thanks, but I rarely wear this,” replied AJ knowing Neko was trying to find words to say something.

“Applejack you are…” Neko started to say till Applejack kissed him.

“I know you love me Neko and I love just as much, but please tell me what you want to talk about.”

“Fine, I’ll tell you,” sighed Neko. “Will you marry me?” asked Neko pulling out a box with a diamond Necklace. Applejack was shocked to the core, she had no idea that Neko wanted to marry her. AJ’s mouth just dropped, Neko could even see the back of her throat. When she got her words back, she gave the idea some thought.

“Neko, I love you very much, so I think my answer will be…yes,” said Applejack hugging Neko.

“I asked Princess Luna to turn me into a wear cat on the night before are wedding day, and do think we can have it at the next Apple family reunion,” said Neko smiling.

“That’s a great idea, also I’m glad the Princess agreed to do it,” said Applejack putting the necklace around her neck. The two of them talked for hours walking around the garden. When the sun went down, Applejack want to go talk to her friends, and Neko went to talk to Luna.

Applejack walked to the guest chambers and saw Winter Strom standing outside. Winter opened the door and AJ’s friends stopped what they were doing to talk to AJ. The chambers had five beds in it, with tables in between them. Rarity saw that AJ was wearing a diamond necklace.

“Were did you get that necklace?” asked Rarity pointing at it. Applejack looked down at her gift.

“You see, Neko gave it to me,” replied Applejack. Pinkie Pie looked at, because it was shinny. Rainbow Dash flew over to AJ to talk to her.

“So, Neko really does love you,” said Rainbow Dash patting AJ’s head.

“Well of course he does. He did ask me to marry him,” said Applejack as she walked over to her bed. Every pony mouths’ dropped.

“You’re getting married?” asked Rarity and Rainbow Dash together.

“I’m so happy for you,” said Fluttershy with her soft voice. Pinkie was still shocked that her friend was going to get married.

“Yes, I’m getting married at the next Apple family reunion. Also thank you kindly there Fluttershy,” said Applejack taking her hat off and sitting on the bed. A knock came at the door and Twilight’s and Cloud’s voice could be heard. Twilight and Winter Strom came inside, Twilight searched out her hooves and wings. Twilight saw that Applejack had a new necklace.

“Say AJ, where did you get that necklace?” asked Twilight walking over to her friend.

“Well Twilight, you see I’m….”

“Applejack is getting married Twilight!” shouted Pinkie before AJ could finish what she was saying.

“That’s so cool Applejack, I’m so happy for you,” Said Twilight hugging AJ. Rainbow Dash flew over to Applejack and Twilight, Winter watched her closely. When Twilight saw that Winter was a little uneasy, she walked over to Winter.

“You know you can relax right?” said Twilight putting a wing over Winter.

“Sorry Princess, but I can’t. Cloud would not like it very much if I did,” replied Winter Strom as she walked out of Twilight’s wing. Pinkie started to laugh about how serious Winter was being.

“Pinkie do not laugh at her,” said AJ as she put her hoof on Pinkie’s mouth. They all talked about AJ’s wedding till, Winter and Twilight left to go to bed. Cloud still stood outside guarding the door.

The next day was spent getting ready for Twilight’s coronation day. Every pony helped out in the matter of getting ready. Rarity made dresses for her and her friends, Twilight was with Princesses Celestia and Luna, so they could get her ready for her coronation. In the mean time the others hung out in Canterlot. Neko, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash hung out walking around the town.
“It sure is a great day,” said Rainbow Dash looking at the bright blue sky.

“Yes, it sure is,” replied Applejack looking up. Neko looked up, but he didn’t say anything.

“You ok there Neko?” asked Rainbow Dash waving her hoof in his face, Applejack pulled Rainbow’s hoof away.

“Neko is not in the best of moods today, he was up all night. So bug him please?” said Applejack as she pulled Rainbow Dash to the side. The two of them looked over at Neko and he was sleep where he stood. The two of them gilled a little bit, before Applejack woke Neko up.

“I’m sorry that I can’t give you better company right now AJ,” said Neko with a yawn.

“Why don’t you go back to plaice and sleep sugar cube,” replied Applejack. Neko turned around and went back to the place to sleep. When he walked away AJ kicked the ground a little bit, Rainbow Dash just looked over at her friend.

“So why do you think he’s so sleep?” asked Rainbow Dash as she watched Neko walk away.

“He was talking to Princess Luna for a little while; also he told me that he couldn’t fall asleep, even if he wanted to.” AJ replied taking a deep breath. The two of them kept walking trying to find something to do, till Rainbow Dash saw Spitfire walking towards them. Spitfire is a Pegasus pony, her mane and tail was the color of ambers and a brilliant orange color. Her body was a very nice shade of gold. Spitfire is the caption of an elite flying group called the wonderbolts, she is also Rainbow Dash’s hero and drill instructor. Rainbow Dash flew over to her to talk, while Applejack just walked over to see what Rainbow and Spitfire where going to talk about.

“Hay there Spitfire how goes it?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Just fine, so how is life treating you in Ponyville?” asked Spitfire tapping her hoof. Rainbow Dash told her what had happened in the two months they last saw each other at the wonderbolt academy. Applejack walked up to Rainbow Dash, Spitfire looked at Applejack studying her.

“You must be Rainbow’s friend Applejack; I heard from your friend here, that you are getting married. That’s way cool, I hope it works out,” said Spitfire.

“Thanks, so what are you doing in Canterlot?” asked Applejack.

“I’m here to put on an air show for Princess Twilight coronation. By the way Rainbow Dash, you will be going back to the academy in three weeks for the next step to become a wonder bolt. I must now go now, see you guys later,” Said Spitfire.

Back at the castle Gia and Twilight were talking outside of the throne room while they wanted for Princess Celestia and Luna to get out of a meeting. Winter and anther guard who was a young earth pony stallion looked after Twilight. Winter and the other guard didn’t say one word.

“So Twilight, it’s been awhile since we last talk to each other,” said Gia flicking her tail.

“Not really, but what’s on your mind Gia?” asked Twilight looking over at her friend.

“It just seems like so much as happened to you when I left to go become a citizen,” replied Gia as she looked at a stain glass window of Twilight and her friends defeating one of Equestria’s foes.

“Gia you read the book about the elements of harmony right?” asked Twilight. Gai flicked her tail while she was thinking.

“Yes I have,” replied Gia. “I also know that you and your friends are the elements of harmony.” Twilight was puzzled that Gia knew that, Winter and her partner still stood in the same place.

“I don’t think I told you that Gia, so how did you know that?” asked Twilight.

“The stain glass windows,” said Gia flicking her tail. “Anyway what do you think about my brother and Applejack getting married?” Twilight even more puzzled about why Gia asked her that.

“It is a little weird, but I’ll support Applejack in her marrying your brother Gia,” said Twilight looking at the window. The throne room doors opened so Twilight and her two guards walked inside. Gia went back to her room to talk to Cloud.

The following day, after Twilight become a Princess. The group of friends waited at the train station. Gai, Twilight, and Spike planned to stay in Canterlot, while Applejack, Neko, and the others were going back to Ponyville. Winter and two white unicorn stallions stood around Twilight.
“I wish you and neko the best of luck planning your wedding,” said Twilight hugging her friend Applejack.

“Thanks a lot Twilight that means a lot to me,” said Applejack. “So are you going to come to Ponyville for the wedding?” Twilight gave some time to think about.

“Yes, I’ll make some time to visit you,” she replied. Neko walked over to Twilight and Applejack.

“I want to wish you the best of luck in your new studies,” said Neko as he rubbed AJ’s head. The train to Ponyville entered the station to pick up every pony going there. Twilight, Spike, and Gia waved good bye to their friends as they got on the train. On the train as it left the station, Applejack fell asleep on Neko’s arm. Rainbow Dash just laughed to herself out laud, about the fact she never seen her friend sleep in front of other ponies. Neko growled softly at Rainbow Dash, so he would not wake up Applejack. The others just talked about how they will miss Twilight.

An Apple wedding

An Apple wedding

Three months later, Neko and Applejack were in the park lying down on the grass. The sun was nice and warm, and the tree leaves started to turn colors. They talked about Princess Luna coming to the farm that night as they watched Applebloom and her friends playing with AJ’s dog.

“So your family is coming tomorrow?” asked Neko rolling over to face Applejack.

“Well some of them are at least,” replied AJ with a smile.

“These past three months were super awesome for me. Spending that time planning for our wedding in two days,” said Neko with a big grin on his face. Applejack rolled over and kissed Neko. Meanwhile Applebloom and her friends watched the two them.

“There’re so cute together,” said Sweetie Belle looking over at Neko and AJ.

“If you say so,” replied Applebloom as she petted Winona. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked over at Applebloom.

“What’s the matter Applebloom?” asked Scootaloo.

“It’s just that Applejack as been spending more and more time with Neko lately. Now she never has anytime left for me,” replied Applebloom.

“Say Applejack, you may want to spend some time with your sister today,” said Neko looking over at the young filly.

“I was planning on the three of us hanging out,” Applejack replied. Neko smiled and kissed her forehead.

“I need to go hunting anyway, so you two should hang out,” said Neko. The two of them got up, while Neko went hunting, Applejack stayed to hang out with her sister.

In the dark woods of the Everfree forest Neko was hunting for the last time. The moon was full and it made the hunt that much better for him. After hunting for a large part of the day he went back to the barn, where he found Princess Luna and Applejack wait there for him. Luna was hanging out in Ponyvillie the other day.

“So is it time then, my Princess?” asked Neko whipping some blood of his face. Luna smiled and walked over to Neko.

“Yes it is,” said Luna still smiling. Applebloom ran outside to see what was going on.

“Applebloom you need to be in bed, we have a big day tomorrow,” said Applejack looking for at her sister. Applebloom yawned a little bit and sat next to AJ. Luna laughed a little bit to herself about Applebloom wakening up to see AJ, and just to fall back sleep, sitting by her sister.

“Are you ready to become an earth pony?” asked Luna. Neko nodded his head, Luna then shot Neko with one of her spells. Neko was lifted off the ground and was consumed by a dark blue sphere. When the sphere reached the ground and dissipated, an earth pony laid on the ground. Applejack’s jaw just dropped at the fact Neko was now a pony. Neko body was a brilliant shade of gold, his mane and tail was blond with leopard spots in them, his eyes where blue like the sea and just as deep to. When he got up Luna gave him a mirror.

“So this is what I look like as a pony then?” asked Neko. Applejack ran up to kiss him.

“I see that you still have your spots,” said Applejack after she kissed him.

“Why, yes I do. Also I still have my super awesome ears and nose,” Neko replied.

The next day it seemed like every pony came to Ponyville, Twilight, Gia, Spike, and Twilight’s guard. Neko spent some time with Alex and Cloud, while Twilight went to the spa house to hang out with Applejack. When Twilight got to the spa house, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy were all ready there waiting for Twilight. Twilight enjoyed seeing her friends again; Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were relaxing in a mud bath, while AJ got hooficure.

“Why hello there Twilight, how goes it?” asked Applejack with a smile on her face.

“Pretty good Applejack, so you getting ready for the wedding tomorrow?” replied Twilight as she walked over to Applejack.

“I sure am. Most of my family is coming over this afternoon to help out Big Mac and Granny get ready for tomorrow,” said AJ still smiling.

“What about Neko?” asked Twilight with a puzzled look on her face.

“Well Twilight, he wanted to catch up with Cloud,” replied Fluttershy before Applejack could say anything.

“Okay, I understand. Any way were is Pinkie Pie and Rarity?” asked Twilight looking around the spa.

“Pinkie Pie is at the farm getting things ready for the wedding tomorrow, and Rarity is making AJ’s dress and Neko’s suit,” said Rainbow Dash as she got out of the mud bath. Two spa ponies walked over to her, so they could clean the mud of her. The door to the spa opened and Summer Song and Gia walked in laughing about something. Twilight was glad to see the two of them being friends. Applejack waved the two of them over to see what they were laughing about.

“What are ya’ll laughing at?” asked Applejack trying to figure out what was so funny.

“It’s Gia’s brother. Gia and I are laughing at him,” Summer replied after she took a breather.

“I fail to see what is so funny about Neko,” said Twilight.

“My brother is a pony, that is what we are laughing at Twilight,” replied Gia after she took her breather. Applejack rolled her eyes, because it seemed like all her friends think it’s funny to make fun of Neko. Gia laid down on one of the laid back chairs and one of the spa ponies rubbed her paws. Twilight and Summer got in the hot tub to relax. The six of them talked about what Applejack was planning to do after the wedding. After a few hours of being at the spa, Twilight and Applejack went over to Rarity’s place to see AJ’s dress.

Later that day Neko went over to Sweet Apple Acres to help get ready for the wedding and the Apple family reunion. Applebloom and Granny Smith left to go to the train station, while Big Mac and Pinkie Pie got barn cleaned out for the wedding.

“I have to say the barn looks very nice you two,” said Neko as he walked in.

“Thanks Neko. Where is Cloud and Alex?” replied Pinkie.

“Cloud went hunting and Alex is have lunch with Octavia and Vinyl,” said Neko as he walked over to BigMac. “So is everything done then?”

“Yep, Neko at first I was unsure about you, but welcome to the family,” replied Big Mac. Neko was happy to get his improvement with him marrying his sister. The three of them sat down to have launch. They talked about what was going to happen at the wedding and other things. Carrot Top came over to the farm to see if Applejack was there or not.

“Hay there you guys is Applejack around?” asked Carrot.

“No, in fact I have no idea where she is,” replied Neko. Carrot looked at Neko studying him.

“Is that you Neko?” asked Carrot with a puzzled look on her face. Neko shook his head yes, and Carrot Top laughing. Once she was done laughing, they talked for a little bit and she went off to find Applejack.

“Say Neko how do you like your new body?” asked Pinkie. Neko looked at his hooves.

“Well Pinkie, I miss my old one, but I like this one okay. I miss my paws, but being with Applejack is better than having paws,” replied Neko as he put his hooves down. Neko looked up to the sky and saw that the Pegasus ponies were getting a storm ready. Applejack, Carrot Top, and the others came over the hill side trying to beat the storm. Every pony went into the barn so they could stay warm.

“I hope the storm doesn’t last too long,” said Pinkie Pie looking outside to see if it started yet.

“It’s not got be too long Pinkie,” replied Rainbow Dash as she sat down. After a few hours the storm stopped and when they all looked outside they saw Granny Smith with Applebloom and Babs. Every pony else went home, while Neko, and AJ’s family went inside the house. Neko and Applejack talked on AJ’s room for a little bit. Inside her room she had a picture of Neko as an Anthromal and her together at a camp out her family had a few weeks back.

The following day all of AJ’s family came over to Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack was at Rarity’s getting her dressed, while Neko was meeting with Applejack’s family for the first time. Neko was shocked to see how big the Apple family was. After a few hours it was time for the wedding at long last. The barn was full to over flowing. Neko, and Twilight, Cloud, and Alex stood at the front. Octavia played her cello as Applejack walked in with her white dress that Rarity made for her. Rainbow Dash and rest of her friends walked beside her. Neko had never seen Applejack look so nice in all the time he has known her. When she reached the front Twilight began to marry the two them.

“Neko do you take Applejack to be your wife for better or worse and in sickness and health?” asked Twilight.

“I do,” said Neko with a smile on his face.

“Applejack do you take Neko to be your loving husband for better or worse and in sickness and health?” asked Twilight.

“I do,” replied Applejack smiling at Neko.

“By the power which I hold I proclaim you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride,” said Twilight with a huge smile on her face. Neko took AJ’s vial off and kissed her.
After she was done Neko and Applejack kissed each other. Then a flash of light on Neko’s hip left a cutie mark. The cutie mark was a paw with an apple in the center. After the wedding lunch was being served, Neko and Applejack were as happy as can be. When every pony got their launch Neko stood up to say a few words.

“Thank you all for coming today. I want to say you seem to be great ponies and I can’t wait to get to know all of you better,” said Neko putting his cider cup in the air. Every pony lifted their glass, Neko was happy to be a part of the apple family. After the lunch Applejack introduced Neko to the Apple family. When the day was over Neko and Applejack went up to her room and passed out on the bed.

The sun was beating on Neko's face so he woke up from his afternoon nape that he took under the apple tree. He looked over at his wife Applejack who was still asleep. Applejack belly was huge; Neko put his head on her belly and heard a little heart beat. Neko smiled at the fact he was going to become a father. Applejack woke up from her nape and kissed Neko’s forehead.

“Did you sleep well?” asked Neko. Applejack smiled and got up carefully.

“It was all right, till this one started to kick,” replied AJ looking at her belly. Applebloom ran over to them to hang out. Applebloom was happy to become an Aunt in a few days.

“Hay there you two how is it going?” asked Applebloom. Neko and Applejack just smiled, till AJ had a sharp pain.

“Applejack, are you ok?” asked Neko.

“Yes, I’m ok for now. It just that this baby wants to be born all ready,” replied Applejack smiling threw the pain. The Three of them went over to the house so they could help out Granny Smith. When they got their Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were waiting for Applebloom. Neko started to recall his life with Applejack and her family. When he first got his cutie mark, he was confused about how marrying Applejack was his destiny in life. Now that Applejack was having a child, Neko started to think it must have been destiny that he and AJ meet. Neko missed eating meat, but he had gotten used to eating thinks other then meat like carrots, flowers, and hay. Neko still hated the taste of hay, when Applejack and Neko walked inside, to see Granny child proofing the house.

“Hay their Granny, need any help there?” asked Applejack.

“No, you look like you should go to bed,” replied Granny as she walked over to AJ. Applejack took a deep breath and walked up stairs to her room. Neko watched Applebloom and her friends play for a while till he heard…

“Neko, I think the baby is coming early!” shouted Applejack. Neko ran up stairs followed by Granny. Applebloom ran up the stairs to see her sister, but Neko shut the door on her.

“Stay calm AJ,” said Neko as he opened the door so he could go get some hot water and towels.

“I’m completely calm Neko!” shouted AJ as tears formed in eyes because of the pain. When Neko got down stairs Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were standing next to Applebloom.

“What in the hay is she screaming about?” asked Fluttershy.

“How do I put this, the baby is coming! Rainbow can you go get the doctor?” replied Neko, Rainbow Dash flew outside the house, while Fluttershy and Neko went into AJ’s room. After a few hours, a baby’s cries could be heard. Rainbow Dash, the town doctor, and Fluttershy left the room while Applebloom and Big Mac came in. Applejack was holding a bluish earth pony filly with blond tail and mane with leopard spots in them.

“She’s perfect like you,” said Neko kissing his child’s head.

“Also like you. I been taking with Gia about names, and I think we should call her Flora,” replied AJ kissing Neko.

“I agree, that’s a great name Applejack,” said Neko. Applebloom, Big Mac, and Granny Smith went down stairs, so they could give Appljack and Neko some peace and quiet.
