Celestia sat in her room alone another night. She had banished Luna to the moon a while ago, but she still felt every second of that day as if it were still happening. It was bordering on tortureous. This night, however, she was given a brief rest from those memories and haunted by new horrors. It was a image of a creature. It was tall, was standing on two legs and had something that looked like claws. But the worst thing of all was it sickening smile and the words he said.

“The world will burn.”

Celestia opened her eyes in shock.

“My princess, are you alright?” One of her guards asked.

“Yes I am alright.” She answered, shaking her head to make her thoughts disappear. “Is everything ready for the moving?”

“Yes.” Her guard replied.

“Good, let’s move then.” She commanded and stod up. Celestia had just had her new castle done and she was ready to move to it from her old one in Everfree Forest. Little did she know that something else was out there that just had arrived from another world.

*****************************

Somewhere else in Everfree Forest.

*****************************

“Ouch that hurt.” A male voice said. It was a human male and he just had been thrown into the Everfree Forest by a dark portal. The man looked behind him when the portal closed itself. “Well that was weird.” He stod up. “I wonder where I am.” He looked around and started to walk.

He walked for a bit until he heard voices. He took cover behind a tree and looked who it was. What he saw was weird. There was a white horse with a mane in three different colors that looked like it was blown by the wind. Also the tail was as the same as its mane. It also had one horn on its head and a pair of big wings. He also saw that it moved its mouth and talked. He thought he was crazy, but he didn’t really care and went to talk to the horse.

“Ehm...hello?””

Celestia looked at the man and when she did her eyes grew really big. It was the same creature in her vision.

“Who are you creature?”

“Well my name is Tyler and I’m-”

He could’t finish becuase Celestia interrupted him. “I know what you are. You are a demon, wanting to burn the whole world.”

“What!? No, I am just-”

He got interrupted again by Celestia. “I am going to banish you so you can’t do any damage to the world.” Her horn started to glow gold as did Tyler.

“What!? Let me explai-” He could’t finish because he got launged in the night sky by a powerful light beam.

“Where did you send the creature my princess?” One guard asked.

“To space.” She answered and started to walk again, happy that she got the demon away.

*****************************

In space.

*****************************

Tyler slowly opened his eyes. When he did he saw only darkness and that he could’t move. That horse had done something to him and he didn’t know what. The thing Celestia actully did was imprisoning him in a comet, in a orbit of the planet.

******************************

1000 years later.

******************************

It has been one month since Twilight came back from the mirrior world. Nothing had really happened since then, except a Ursa Major tried to attack Celestia when she was in the old castle. Luckly a rock from the sky hit the Ursa Major with so much force, it fainted. The ponies where thankful that somepony did that, but something was odd about the rock. It was letters on it and it was writen “YOUR WELCOME BITCH”. Twilight wonder who could have writen that and called the princess a dog. That somepony would taste a piece of her mind. But not tonight because she, the other main six, Spike, the two royal princesses, Cadence and Shining Armor where going to watch a special star shower. Because it was Twilight’s birthday.

“This was a good idea Twilight.” Rainbow Dash said as she laid down on the ground and looked up.

“Thanks. I wanted this night to be special so I asked Princess Luna to make the night sky even prettier with a star shower”

“I must say that you have really done a good job with the stars Luna.” Celestia said to her sister.

“Thank you sister.”

They all watched the stars glow brightly and fly through the night sky, but one star was brighter and bigger then the others.

“Is that star suppose to glow that bright and be that big?” Cadence asked.

“No, no its not.” Luna answered with some concerned in her voice.

The star got brighter and bigger. Eventfully it looked like it was going to crash.

“EVERYPONY TAKE COVER!” Twilight shouted. All of them ran over and took cover behind a big rock. While the star came contact to the earth, making a big explosion and a big crater. The group looked from the big rock at the crater. There was already a group of ponies around that was curious and was looking at what was in the crater. The group walked to the crater and saw it wasn’t a star, it was a meteor.

The meteor started to shake and break apart. What came out was breath taking. There in the crater was a creature on two legs and two arms with some odd looking claws. It had a flowing mane in the colors black, purple, pink and yellow with some stars. It’s iris looked like shooting stars and it had what looked like wings on its back, but it was hard to see. It also had some clothes on most of its body. The creature climbed out of the crater and walked to the main group. It looked at all of them, but it stopped as soon it saw Celestia. Then something more intresting was it talked.

“Long time Celestia.” It said with an angry look on its face.

“Who is this thing?” Twilight asked concerned.

“I don’t know.”

“Oh so you don’t remember that you called me a demon and banished me?” It asked, getting more and more angry.

Celestia’s eyes grew big as she remembers. “You are the demon that wanted to burn the world 1000 years ago.” Everypony gasped as Celestia said that.

“I NEVER WANTED SUCH THING!” It shouted. “I WAS LOST AND NEEDED HELP AND YOU JUST BANISHED ME!”

“BUT MY VISION SAID YOU WOULD!” Celestia shouted back at the creature.

“YOUR VISION WAS BULLSHIT!” Everypony gasped again as the creature used such language.

“How dare you saying that to Princess Celestia?” Twilight said as she step forward at the creature.

“Ah Twilight Sparkle, so we finally meet each other.”

“How do you know my name?” Twilight asked as she became concerned of what more this creature knows.

“I know everypony on this planet. Oh and before I forget I must do something.” It stretched out its right claw thing and a magic beam of sorts in the same colors as its mane came out and it hit Twilight.

“TWILIGHT!” Everypony shouted. Her wings started to disappear and out of her came a purple light ball. The creature stopped with the beam, grabbed the light ball and turned it into a necklace. Everypony gasped again.

“MY WINGS!” Twilight shouted as she saw that she didn’t have her wings anymore.

“Yes I turned you back into a unicorn.” The creature said as he tied the necklace around his neck.

“But why?” She asked.

“You are not ready yet.”

“What do you mean by ‘not ready’?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, she been ready since like forever. Now give her back her wings.” Rainbow Dash said, flying infront of the creatures face.

“No.”

“If you don’t , I will punch you so hard you will fly up to space.” Rainbow Dash threatened.

“You do that. I have already been there for 1000 years, so why not another?”

“What do you mean by ‘already been there’?” RD asked, starting to get interested by what the creature meant.

“When Celestia banished me for thinking I was a demon, she wanted me of the planet and that what she did.”

“She banished you into space?”

“Yes in that comet or now a meteor, I have been living in there for 1000 years.”

“What? Thats impossible.” Twilight said.

“Well that what I thought too, but when Celestia banished me to the comet, it where some of here magic still on me. I had to use it to gain some powers to survive, but I could’t choose the sun because thats Celestia’s and I could’t choose the moon because thats Luna’s.”

“Then what did you choose?”

The creature looks up at the night sky. “The stars.”

“The stars? You mean all the stars?”

“No actully just one. I wanted to pick a star that was big, had power and also closest. I found one and I called it Rigel.”

“Rigel? Why call it that?”

“Its a long story. So anyways I used Rigel’s power to survive, but it made me grew these wings and making my hair like this. It also gave me the power to use magic.”

Everypony just looked at the creature like it was crazy or something. It took sometime until Twilight finally asked the question everypony was thinking. “What are you?”

“Oh I’m a human.”

“A human? You mean those from the mirror?”

The human started to look angry again. “No those are fake.”

“Fake? What do you mean?”

“Again its a long story.”

“So this is a human you where talking about Twilight?” Cadence asked.

“Yeah, except it looks different.”

“I’m a he not an it.”

“Oh sorry. So whats your name then?” Twilight asked.

“Tyler.”

“Well Tyler it was nice to meet you, but I really want my wings back.”

“No.”

“Listen up!” Twilight said, looking angry. “Who do you think you are? Just coming here and take my wings?”

“I’m Tyler remember?”

“Oh you little-” But Twilight got interrupted by a voice. Tyler and Twilight looked and saw Spike running back to the group. When Tyler and Twilight had their talk, Celestia ordered Spike to run back to the castle and pick somethings for her.

“I got them Celestia.” He said. He was holding a little chest in his claws.

“Good.” She used her magic to open the chest and inside where the Elements of Harmony.

“Oh the Elements of Harmony.” Tyler said, not afraid what was going to happen to him.

Twilight used her magic to give the each of the girls their right element. “Girls ready?”

“YES!” The five of them shouted. The mane six started to glow and fly up into the air. Then they released a giant rainbow at Tyler. The rainbow started to swirl around him, like a tornado.

“I won’t go away that easy.” He opened his left hand and created a miniature black hole.

“That should finish him.” Celestia said, but her attitude started to change when she saw that he wasn’t getting affected. In fact it looked like he made the rainbow disappear and go into his hand where some black hole was.

“What in the hay? Nothing happened to him. How is that possible?” Applejack said.

The last of the rainbow got sucked into the black hole as Tyler started to talk. “Simple, I just created a black hole and sucked it.”

“Black hole?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah and the funny thing is when a black hole sucks something it comes out from another, like this.” He opened his right hand and made a new black hole. “Take it back.” The rainbow blast from before came out from the black hole and hit the ground near the group, making alot of dust clouds.

“*cough cough* How...is he...doing this?” Twilight asked.

“I would have said ‘Taste the rainbow’, but that meme is old.” Tyler said, just standing there.

“If the Elements of Harmony could’t defeat this demon, what can?” Celestia asked.

“For the last time I’m not a demon.” He said and looked up at the sky. “Its pretty late now. If you want to continue this fight, lets do it some other day. I’m kinda tired. Bye.” In a flash of light, he disappeard.

Twilight stomped her hoof in frustration. “He got away.”

A lot of ponies started to talk about what just happened, even the main group.

“What a meanie.” Pinkie Pie said.

“Such a brute.” Rarity said.

“I’m going to buck him so hard he won’t feel his body anymore.” Applejack said.

“Me too, I’m going to make him pay for what he did to Twilight.” RD said.

“Oooh I’m so mad I could just kick him.” Fluttershy said.

“Want me to get the guards searching for him princess?” Shining asked.

“Please do, I want to find him as fast as we can.” Shining nodded and went to tell the guards about this.

“I will go and tell my night guards as well.” Luna said and took flight. Celestia looked at Twilight who was starring at the sky. She walked up to her.

“Twilight I know that you are upset, but we will get him.”

“Its not only that Celestia.” She turned her head and looked at Celestia “It what he said I’m most wondering about. He said that I was not ready and that the humans from the mirror was fake. I just want to know what he means by that.”

“Maybe some sleep will help you.” Twilight nodded and the group walked back to the castle for some sleep. They didn’t know that a figure was watching the hole thing behind a forest.

“So he has arrived. Well then I hope he is ready.” Then the figure just disappeard.

It was a beautiful morning in Equestria and everypony was happy, well almost everypony.

“Argh I’m so angry.” Rainbow Dash said and slammed her hoof on the table. The others tried to eat their breakfast while Rainbow Dash just kept on ranting.

“We know Rainbow Dash. Both mine and Luna’s best guards are trying to find him.” Celestia said and used her magic to levitate some hay into her mouth.

“Its not enough. We have to find that guy NOW!” She yelled and slammed her hoof harder on the table.

“Sugarcube I know your angry, heck we all are.” Applejack said and lays a friendly hoof on her shoulder. “But we don’t know where he is. We can’t just go blind out there and try to find him.”

Raindbow Dash smacked AJ’s hoof away. “Well you guys can’t, but I can. I am the fastest pegasus in Equestria after all.”

“Rainbow Dash.” Twilight sighed. “I want my wings back too, but you are the one that want them back the most. Why?”

“Because I’m the Element of Loyalty and because of that it is my job to get your wings back so you can be a princess again.”

“What do you mean? I’m still a princess right Celestia?” Twilight said and looked at her. Celestia looked down at her breakfast, looking kind of sad. “Right?”

Celestia sighed. “I’m sorry Twilight, but the Law said to be royalty you have to be either an alicorn or related to the crown.”

“Oh.” Twilight looked down at the table and sniffed.

“Now you see why we need to find him.”

“Yes, but what are you going to do when we find him? The Elements of Harmony didn’t have any affect on him.” Celestia said.

“We bet him up and take the necklace of course.” RD said with confidence in her voice.

“We can’t just do that. We saw that he had some powerful magic.” Celestia said.

“What I don’t understand is how did he get such powerful magic?” Twilight pondered. “He said he got his power from a star, but that can’t only be that right? He had to train really hard for his magic to be that powerful.”

“Well while that makes sense dear, didn’t he said he was inprisoned in a comet for all these years? Would’t he need some space to practice his magic?” Rarity asked.

“Yes he would, but I have read that skilled unicorns can use magic in tight spaces.”

“Well I will get to bed.” Luna said and stood up. “Good morning everypony.”

“Good morning Luna.” All of them said as Luna walked out of the dinner room and went to her bedroom.

“Ok I can’t wait any longer, I’m out of here.” RD said and flew out of the dinner room as fast as she can.

“Shouldn’t we stop her Celestia?” Twilight asked.

“No let her be. You know how she can be.”

They all sat there in silence until Pinkie started to talk. “You know, if we get the necklace back and he turns into a good guy, I think we should throw him a ‘Welcome to Equestria’ party.”

“What!?” Everypony yelled.

**************************

Somewhere in the sky.

**************************

Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could, determined to find Tyler and take Twilight’s wings back. She had flown for 10 minutes and she was already in the mountain area. A lot of ponies was scared to go there because it was a rumor a monster was living there, but Rainbow Dash wasn’t scared of any monster. She flew a bit more and saw somepony sleeping on a cloud. She got a bit closer and saw that it wasn’t a pony.

“Ahhh that was a nice. I have forgoten how it felt to sleep on something soft.” He said and stretched a bit. He lay there until he heard a poff and he hade the feeling that he was falling. He turned around and looked at he was heading straight for the ground. “Oh shit.” Was he last words before he landed on the ground face first. He layed there on the ground and groaned. He lifted up his head and spit up some dirt. “Well that just happened.”

“Serves you right.” He looked and saw Rainbow Dash landing in front of him.

“Ah Rainbow Dash, so I guess you are still mad at me?” He said as he got up.

“Of course I am. Now give me the necklace.”

He sighed. “The answer is still no.”

“Well then I just have to take it from you.” She flew straight for him, her right hoof aimed for his face, but Tyler stopped her by grabbing her hoof with his left hand. Rainbow Dash got confused, but tried to punch him with her left hoof, but Tyler grab it with his right hand.

“Come on, we don’t need to fight each other.”

“I will fight you if thats what it takes to get Twilight’s wings back.” She flipped herself and used both of her hind legs to kick him in the chest. Tyler gasped and let go of her, that gave her the moment to uppercut him straight in the jaw. He landed on the ground, groaning in pain. Rainbow Dash flew up and dive bombed him right in his stomach. Tyler gasped again and was nearly beaten, but he used his magic to fling Rainbow Dash away from him. She landed nicely on the ground and was ready to ram into him. Tyler weakly stod up and tried to catch some air.

“Ok you win. I will give you the necklace.” He said.

Rainbow Dash looked at him like he was joking. “Really?”

“Yes really, but on one condition.”

“I’m listening.”

“If you teach me how to fly, you will get the necklace.”

“Wait you can’t fly?”

“Yeah. I didn’t have the room in the comet to train how to. The only thing I can is to fold them and unfold them.” As he said that, his wings unfold and Rainbow Dash got wide eyed. This where wings she never seen before. They looked like dragon wings, but the bone part was made of gold somehow and the skin part had the same color as his hair. If you looked really closely you could see that the colors moved a little.

“And you promise if I teach you how to fly you will get me Twilight’s wings?”

“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” He said while doing the motion.

Rainbow Dash was surprised that he knew about the Pinkie promise, but she shacked that thought away. “Ok then let’s begin.”

**************************

Few hours later.

*************************

“And thats how you fly.” Rainbow Dash said as she saw Tyler flying around her. “You learned fast for a newbie.”

“Well I’m like that. Thank you Rainbow Dash.” He said and landed in front of her.

“Your welcome. So give me the necklace please.”

He stood there and thought. “Hm, nope.” And then he took of into the sky.

“But you Pinkie promised.” He didn’t answer because he was too far away. She was going to try following him, but she got a better idea. Telling Pinkie.

************************

At Canterlot Castle.

************************

“And thats how the party will be.” Pinkie Pie said. All of the other ponies had been listening to Pinkie all this time when she was talking about Tylers welcome party. Rainbow Dash flew in and saw all of them, except Pinkie, having annoyed look on their faces. “Oh look, Dashie is back.”

The rest of the group looked and smiled. “So how did it go Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked.

“I found him.”

“You did!?” Twilight said, very happily and went up to Rainbow Dash face. “So where are they?”

“Well you see, I found him lying on a cloud in the mountain area. I kicked the cloud so he fell down to the ground. We had a little fight, until he said he would give me the necklace if I teahced him how to fly. First I was a bit skeptical, but he Pinkie promised so I teached him. After he had learned he just left without giving me the necklace.”

“So you don’t have the necklace?” Twilight looked down and was sad.

“I’m sorry.”

“Wait a minute.” Pinkie interrupted. “He broke a Pinkie promise.” RD nodded. Pinkie Pie started to shacke and look red all over her body. The other ponies thought that she would explode. “Oh he’s really not getting a welcome party now.” She said with anger in her voice and went out.

“Wait Pinkie where are you going?” Twilight asked.

“I’m going to find him. I can smell those that break a Pinke promise.” She said and started to walk again. The other mane six, Spike and Celestia followed her.

*********************************

On a field, outside Everfree.

*********************************

Tyler stood there, enjoying some fresh air. “Nothing can beat the smell of fresh air.”

“YOU!” He heard a dark voice say. He turns around and sees a pist off Pinkie Pie right in his face. She pins him down on the ground and put her face right in front of his. “YOU BROKE A PINKIE PROMISE!” Tyler used his magic to get her of him.

“So?”

“SO!? YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE BACK THE NECKLACE YOU PROMISED DASHIE OR I WILL MAKE A PUNISHMENT THAT WILL BREAK YOU DOWN! She yelled.

“I technically I didn’t really break my promise.”

“What do you mean?” Rainbow Dash said. “You said ‘Nope’ and just flew away.”

“What I meant by that I will get you guys the necklace, but not now.”

“Why?” Twilight asked.

“Because you are not ready yet.”

“You have said that multiple times, but I don’t get what you mean by that.” She said, getting angry.

Tyler sighed. “Ok do you really want to know?”

“Yes.”

“Ok what I meant by that is-” But he got interrupted by rustle from a bush near them. Out jumped a hideous creature. It had black skin all over its body and dripped some black goo. It had three eyes on its face, a big one on its chest, all over its arms and legs and it had ten tails with eyes on the top. It had a big jaw and a black long tongue sticking out.

The group was scared, except Celestia and Tyler. “So what kind of thing are you?” Celestia asked.

“I am NIGHTMARE FUEL.” It yelled out with a ear deafening screech.

“Well I can see why you are named that, you are ugly as fuck.” Tyler said with a smirk.

“At least I’m not a deformed monkey with girly hair and weird wings.” Nightmare Fuel said with a smirk of his own.

“I didn’t know this was an insult contest, so cut the crap and tell me what you want?”

“Well I am here to kill you of course. You are the only threat against me and my master. Thats why I made the princess banish you from the beginning.”

“What do you mean?” Celestia asked.

“I made that ‘vision’ of yours 1000 years ago, so you could banish him. In the beginning I thought he was dead, but now I have to kill him on my own.”

Celestia was stunned. All this years she thought she did the right thing, but now she know all of that was a lie. “So my vision was false after all.”

“Told you.” Tyler said.

“Less talking, more fighting.” Nightmare Fuel said.

Twilight looked at the other girls. “Ok girls lets do-” But she got cut off by Tyler.

“No this is my fight.”

“But Tyler-” She got cut off again.

“I may have been rusty when I fought Rainbow Dash, but I want give this ugly mother fucker a piece of my mind.” He cracked his knuckles. “Let’s do this.”

“It will be my pleasure to rip your heart out.” Nightmare Fuel said and ran towards Tyler. Tyler was ready to fight. Nightmare Fuel punched Tyler in the face, but after that Tyler grabbed his arm, lifted him and slammed his body againts the ground. He then spun him around and threw him against a tree. He quickly went up and shot a purple beam from his middle eye on his face and the purple beam hit Tyler. Tyler got pushed against a big rock and had some burn marks on him.

“Hahaha didn’t see that coming did you?” Nightmare Fuel said with a new smirk on his face.

“Well I guess you would’t guess this coming either.” Tyler said and took a stand. He bent his knees, twisted his arms to the right and it looked like he was holding a invisible ball in his hands.

“Oh what are you doing? Posing for the ladies?”

“You joke around while I will defeat you.” A little glowing ball appeared between his hands. “Magical.” The ball got a bit bigger. “Kame-” It got bigger. “-hame-” It got even bigger “-HA.” He yelled and thrust his arms forward, making the big glowing ball into a giant magical beam. Nightmare Fuel actually looked scared when he got hit by the beam. He got pushed into the Everfree forest, through a lot of trees and when it stopped, his body rolled on the ground. He stopped rolling and groaned. Tyler saw that his Kamehameha had just destroyed some of the forest and he sighed out happily. “One of humans dreams just came true.” He flew up and straight into the forest for Nightmare Fuel.

Meanwhile seven ponies and a baby dragon had their jaws on the ground. “What...just...happened?” A stunned Twilight asked.

*********************************

Inside the Everfree forest.

*********************************

Tyler landed in front of Nightmare Fuel and grabbed him by the throat. He lifted him up and looked him in the eyes, but when he did Nightmare Fuel shot a purple beam straight at Tylers face. Tyler let go off him and clutched his face. Nightmare Fuel used this opportunity to rapidly punched Tyler in the stomach. Tyler tried to withstand the punches, so he punches Nightmare Fuel right on top of his head so he fell down on the ground, but before he hit the ground, Tyler kicked him in the jaw making him fly up in the air. Tyler flew up over him and punched him really hard in the stomach, sending him straight for the ground very fast. Nightmare Fuel hit the ground and Tyler landed on him really hard on the stomach and the chest.

“Giving up yet?” Tyler said.

“Don’t count on it.” One of his tails shot a purple ball at Tyler and it hit him on the chest, making him fly up and land on the ground. Nightmare Fuel stood up and all of his ten tails rised and shot purple balls at Tyler. Tyler was quick enough to create a magic bubble shield around him. Nightmare Fuel kept on shooting purple balls from his tails at Tylers bubble shield. “You can’t keep up that shield forever.”

“I know.” He said and expanded the bubble shield so big it hit Nightmare Fuel. “Sometimes the best offence is the best defense.” Nightmare Fuel stood up and charged up the big eye on his chest. It fired a big purple beam, not as big as his Kamehameha, but big enough to do very much damage. Tyler avoided it by flying over and he flew straight for him. He kicked Nightmare Fuel in the face with both legs and made him land on the ground, knocking him out for a bit. Tyler landed beside him, a bright light came from his right hand and suddenly a green box looking thing appeared in his hand. He shoved it through Nightmare Fuel’s chest and his skin seemed to eat it. After his skin ate the green box, Tyler flew away and back to the group.

When he landed he saw that the group still was kind of shocked, but when they saw him all bruised and burned they got back to reality. “Oh my gosh, are you alright?” Fluttershy said and went to Tyler.

“Yeah I’m ok, just a little bit hurt.”

“So what happened to Nightmare Fuel?” Twilight asked.

Tyler smirked and the same light from before came from his right hand, but this time it was a golden rod with a red button on top. “C 4 yourself.” The group looked confused as why he said it like that, but they didn’t ask because Tyler already pushed the button.

***********************

Nightmare Fuel.

***********************

Nightmare Fuel groaned as he got up. He could’t understand that he just got beaten by Tyler. As he stood up he could here beeping.

*beep*

*beep*

*beep*

He looked down at his chest and he saw that a red light blinked everytime it beeped. After a few seconds of beeping a long beep sounded.

*beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

And when it did the red light glew. “That can’t be good.” Was his last words until he exploded.

******************

The group

*****************

The group saw the the explosion and then they all looked at Tyler. “Did you make him explode?” RD asked.

Tyler chuckled. “You can say that.”

“Tyler...I want to say...I’m sorry for banishing you to the space and thank you for saving us.” Celestia said.

Tyler just looked at her with a bit angry face. “Apology not accepted.”

“What!?” The group yelled.

“I said ‘Apology not accepted’.”

“But why?” Celestia asked.”

“First: A sorry won’t make me feel better after I was inprisoned in a comet for 1000 years. Second: He wanted to kill me, not you guys. I fought him so he would’t kill me.”

“Yes thats true, but he was the one that made me do it.”

“Still, you could have given me a chance to explain myself.”

“Yeah you are right.” Celestia said and looked down on the ground.

The group was quiet until Applejack spoke up. “So what do you think that guy meant with a master?”

“Yeah, that dude said something about ‘his master’.”

“D-do you g-guys think its N-nightmare Moon?” Fluttershy asked.

“Not likely. Just because they got almost similar names, doesn’t mean they work together.” Tyler said.

“You may have a point.” Twilight said and started to think, until she remembered something. “Tyler, weren’t you supposed to tell us why you stole my wings.”

“Oh yes I was.”

“Go on.”

Tyler sighed. “The reason I stole your wings was because I wanted to help you.”

“Help me?” Tyler nodded. “You don’t help somepony by stealing their wings!” She yelled.

“I know, but hear me out ok?” Twilight started to cool down. “Do you know what happens when you become an alicorn?”

“Well of course I do. You get to have wings so you can fly. You get to have very powerful magic. You get to be royalty. You get to-”

“-be immortal.” Tyler interrupted.

“Well of course.” Twilight said like he was stupid.

“And there we have the problem.”

“What? Me being immortal is a bad thing?”

“Well you see, when an alicorn reach adulthood they stop growing and ageing. But if somepony kills you, you will die.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“What I’m trying to say is that while you are immortal, your friends and family are still mortal and they will die right before your eyes.”

Twilight got a little tears in her eyes and looked at her friends. “So what your saying is that I will live while my family and friends will die and I can’t do anything about it?”

“Thats exactly what I’m saying. And there is something else.”

“And whats that?” Twilight said and sniffed.

“For all of the Elements of Harmony to work all the bearers have to be alive. If one of them are immortal and the rest of them are dead, no new bearers will be born and the Elements of Harmony will be useless.”

Twilight was now crying. She hadn’t thought of this before. She doesn’t want to watch her love ones just die while she will still live on for centuries to come.

“And also it takes more then knowing about friendship to become a princess, you have to know about life as well. And thats what I want you to do.”

“E-excuse me?” Twilight asked through her tears.

“As you wrote friendship reports to Celestia, I want you to write life reports to me, meaning that you should write life lesson and stuff like that. And when I think you have learned enough, I will get your wings back.”

“But didn’t you just say about me being immortal would be a bad thing?”

Tyler looked at the other bearers of the Elements of Harmony. “I will think of something ok?” Twilight nodded. “Good and Spike can you come to me for a moment?”

Spike walked up to Tyler. “What do you want?” Tyler didn’t answer, he just layed his hand on top of Spike’s head and made him glow. After the light show, Spike shock his head to clear his head a bit. “What did you do?”

“I made it so Twilight could send me her reports. Now remember, the yellow flame will send stuff to me and pink smoke means she got something from me ok?” He nodded. “Good.” Spike walked back to the group.

“So what are you going to do know Tyler?” Celestia asked.

“Please call me something else. Now that I'm here I can call myself something else like...Shooting Star.”

“So you want to change your name into Shooting Star?”

“Yes.”

“Very well, Shooting Star it is then, but back to my original question.”

“Well I will find a home to live in of course. I don’t want to live in the castle, it feels boring to me.”

“Ok then, good luck.”

“Good luck to you too.” Then he disappeard in a flash of light.

“So what now darling?” Rarity asked Twilight.

“I think I should move back into the library in Ponyville.”

“Yes, then we can have a ‘Welcome back to Ponyville’ party.” Pinkie said.

Twilight chuckled a bit. “That would be great Pinkie.”

“I better go back to Canterlot and get your stuff.” Celestia said.

“Ok princess.” Twilight said as she teleported back to the castle. “Come on, lets go back to Ponyville.” She said as all of them walked back to Ponyville.

Chapter 3: Old Homes and New Homes.

View Online

Twilight and the group had just gotten back to the old library. Seeing this place again makes Twilight all nostalgic, even though it was six months since she was here. They had gotten some questions about what the big lights and explosion was about in Everfree forest. Also why she didn’t have any wings. They just told that there was nothing to worry about and that they had taken care of it. Of course they where lying because it was Shooting Star that took care of it, but they couldn’t tell them about him. If they did it would probably cause a bit of panic that a powerful unknown creature was roaming around. Celestia had just brought back her stuff from the castle, but she couldn’t stay because she had things to do in Canterlot. They where packing up stuff until there was a knock on the door. Twilight opened it and saw Lyra standing there.

“Hello Lyra, what can I help you with?”

“Nothing, I just went here to see if you guys have heard the news.”

“News? What news?”

“You guys seriously haven’t heard?” They all shook their heads. “There was some weird creature at Mayor Mare’s office not to long ago and it just bought the old observatory on the hill outside of Ponyville.”

“Weird creature? How did it look like?”

“Well it said it was really tall, had the same kind of mane as the princesses and its eyes was like stars.”

The group looked surprised. Did just Shooting Star find his home already. “Do you know its name?”

“No, but when it signed the contract it only wrote ‘S.S’.”

Now the group clearly knew that this was Shooting Star. The group ran past Lyra and was heading to the observatory. “Hey wait for me.” Lyra said and followed the group. They arrived at the old observatory and saw that a group of ponies was there. They went to the ponies and was about to ask what the deal was, but a flash of light inside the observatory stopped them. Now they kind of understand why the ponies was here.

Twilight went in front of the ponies to try to talk to them. “Ok everypony please calm down.” The ponies stopped talking and started to listen. “I know who lives here.”

“You do? Then whats his or hers name?” A pony asked.

“His name is Shooting Star and yes it is the creature that bought the observatory.”

All the ponies started to talk now. One pony spoke up. “So do you know what he is doing inside the observatory?”

“Ehm...no I don’t, but I think I can ask him.” She went to the door and knocked.

“I told you ponies before, no you can’t come in.” The voice said behind the door.

“Shooting Star, its me Twilight.”

“Oh Twilight...the answer is still no.”

“Can you just tell me what the flashing lights are all about?”

“I’m renovating this place.”

“With flashes of light?”

“Kind of.”

“Can me and the girls come in.”

“I told you before, no.”

“Please?” She said and did the puppy dog eyes, even though he couldn’t see her.

“Your doing the puppy dog eyes right?”

“Maybe.”

It takes a moment until she hers a sigh. “Fine, but only you girls and Spike, no other ponies.”

“Thank you.” The door opened up and the girls and Spike went in.

“Please wait.” They here a voice say. They look back and saw Lyra running up to them. “Please let me in too. If I’m right you are an alien and I really want to see you.”

The girls waited for Shooting Star’s answer. “Urgh, ok.”

Lyra got excited and went in with the others. When they got in it looked like any normal observatory. A stair that leads up to a platform with a chair and the giant telescope. But thats what the similarities end. There was a kitchen area with a fridge, freezer, sink and cabinets. There was a bed across the room with a night table and a lamp. There was a door that said ‘Bathroom’. And there was some bookshelves, chairs, table and a couch where Shooting Star sat with a drink in his hand.

He looked at them with a smirk. “Sup?”

“How...how did you get all of this?” Twilight asked, all surprised.

“I made it.”

“How did you make all of this?”

“Magic of course.”

“You created this by magic?” He nodded. “But that takes years to learn.”

“Well I had 1000 years to learn.”

“Oh yeah I forgot about that.”

“So what do you guys want?”

“Well we where going to investigate the bright lights, but now that we are here I really want to ask you some questions.”

“Oh oh me too.” Lyra said.

“Ok, all of you have one question each, use it well. Twilight you start.”

“Ok.” Suddenly paper and a quill was there. “My question is, why did you bought the observatory and how did you get the money to do so?”

“Technically thats two questions, but whatever. To answer your second question I did the same thing as I did with the furnitures, I created them.”

“You created money?”

“Yes, but thats the only time I will do it. As to answer your first question I bought this place because I like space and I needed a place to stay until my real house is done.”

“Your real house?”

“Yeah, I’m building a castle in space.” All of them just looked at him weird. “What? If you don’t believe me look through the telescope.” Twilight walked the stairs, sat in the chair and looked through the telescope. She saw that he was telling the truth. Slowly bricks put each other together in space.

Twilight looked back at him. “I thought you didn’t want to live in a castle.”

“In Canterlot castle yes, but this castle will be a bit smaller and by my own design.”

“So why didn’t you just create it with magic like the furnitures?”

“Because a castle is to big, even for me. I just created a lots of bricks, put a spell on each of them so they could put a castle together by them self. Of course it will take a while, but thats why I live here for now.”

Twilight went back to the group and now Pinkie wanted to ask him something. “So what are you drinking.”

“Whiskey.”

“Whiskey? Never heard of that before. What does it taste like?”

He took a sip out of the drink. “Like cider, but stronger.”

“Ok, my turn.” Rainbow Dash said. “How did you get here?”

“Ah a very good question. You see I arrived after Nightmare Moon got banished to the moon. My theory is when Celestia used the Elements of Harmony on her, it created a space jump portal.”

“A space jump portal?”

“Yes. I am from another planet, not from another dimension. The space jump portal sucked me in and I traveled millions of light years away.”

“Wait a minute.” Twilight interrupted. “After we defeated Nightmare Moon and turned her back to Luna, wouldn’t that mean this portal would appear again?”

“Yes it would and it did.”

“So did somepony else get sucked into the portal.”

Shooting Star drack up his drink and chuckled. “Well first it has to be something on the other side to get sucked in.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Well you see, I too thought it was weird nothing came through, so I did some research and found out that my species killed it self in a war 500 years ago.” He practically laughed out.

“Why are you laughing, it sounds horrible.”

“Its funny that I’m the last of my specie and I have an immortal life.” He kept laughing a little bit more until he stopped and poured more whiskey into his glas.

“Ehm darling, are you alright?” Rarity asked.

“Yes of course I am. Why wouldn’t I?”

“Ehm nothing dear.”

“Just so you know that was your question.”

“Do you miss your family and friends?” Fluttershy asked.

“Sometimes. Its hard to not miss them. My dad was the fucking president of America.”

“Whats a president.” Twilight asked.

“Its like a king that rules a country.”

“So you where like a prince then?”

He laughed a little. “Yeah you can say that.”

Twilight had a hard time thinking this over. This ‘man’ was a prince of another planet and is now the only one of its species with one of the most powerful magic she has ever seen. This sounded like a story she would write on a rainy day.

“So what are you going to do know?” Applejack said.

“Live. I got nothing to do then just live.”

“Doesn’t sound so fun to me.”

“Hey thats the only thing I can think about now.

“When you fought Nightmare Fuel, how did you learn to fight like that.” Spike asked.

“Through stories I ‘read’ when I was a kid. Also I got a few skills.”

“Not when we fought.” RD said.

“Hey I was rusty. I hadn’t fought for 1000 years.”

“Yeah yeah, excuses excuses.”

“Ok last question.”

Now Lyra was jumping of happiness because she would ask this alien a question. “Alright, are you a human?”

“Well of course I am, have you forgotten that Lyra?”

“How do you know my name?”

“I know all the names on this planet.”

“Yes I recall you saying that when we first met, but how do you know that?” Twilight asked.

“Well when you are stuck in a comet like me you usually get bored, so I played with my magic one day and suddenly I was in somepony’s dream.”

“You went into somepony’s dream? Like princess Luna?”

“Exactly, but she more goes inside somepony’s dream if they got nightmares, I however went inside somepony’s dream to just know their names and stuff like that. Thats how I knew about all of you. I even helped someponies if they had trouble in real life, like you Lyra.”

“Me? But what kind of help did I needed?”

“When you where a little filly you believed in aliens, but all of your friends thought you where stupid to believe that, so one night I went in you dream and showed myself. I told anything about the humans and stuff like that. And what I know, you became happy knowing there was aliens in the world. I just didn’t know you would be so interrested in humans.”

Lyra just stared at him. It was this guy that made her so obsessed when it came to humans. She went and hugged. He hugged back, still holding his drink. “Please take it easy, I’m holding a drink here.” She stopped hugging and looked at him, then she slapped him in the face and went for the door. “OW, what was that for?”

She sniffed a little and you could see a little tears in her eyes. “For ruining my life.” And then she was out.

There was silence as all of them looked at each other like what just happened. “You guys should go, I want to be alone for a bit.” Shooting Star said and took a sip of his whiskey.

“Ok, see you some other time.” Twilight said. “Bye.”

“Bye.” He said goodbye to all of them until he was alone.

He sat there thinking for himself until he heard a dark voice. “Well aren’t you looking sad.” He looked up and saw a creature standing on top of the telescope. It had black fur and was standing on four legs. It had claws, bat wings and a tail. Its head was a black crocodile head. “Let me wipe that sad face and you from this planet.”

Chapter 4: Drunken Fight.

“Oh and who do you might be?”

The creature jumped off the telescope and landed on the table that was in front Shooting Star. “I am Night Watcher and I am here to kill you.”

“I thought so when you said you would wipe me of this planet.” He said and drank up the whiskey in his glas.

“Oh so you’re a smart ass are you?”

“Yeah.” He threw the glass behind him and he heard a shatter. He then took the whiskey bottle and drank from it. “So I guess you want to get revenge on me for killing Nightmare Fuel?”

“No. I never liked that guy. I want to kill you because of the reward.”

“Reward? Has somebody put money on my head or what?”

“No, my boss told me to kill you.”

“Of course it was.” He chugged down the whiskey from the bottle until it was empty. “Well then, lets begin.” And then he smashed the bottle over Night Watcher’s head. The he punched him in the face, making Night Watcher fly up in the air and land on the stairs. Night Watcher stood back up and shot purple lightning from his mouth and hit Shooting Star in the chest. Shooting Star got slammed into the wall and Night Watcher flew straight at him. He slammed into Shooting Star and started to claw him in the face. Shooting Star grabbed his tail and threw him at the table. He wobbly walked to him and grabbed the couch. He lifted it over his head and was about to smash Night Watcher with it, but the alcohol in his body made it so he dropped the couch over his own head. Shooting Star laid on the floor with the couch under him.

“Hahaha you’re to drunk to fight me.” Night Watcher said and walked to him, but Shooting Star threw the couch away and smashed another bottle on top of his head. “Where did you get that.”

“You want to know the truth?” He said a bit tipsy.

“Ehm...yes that why I asked.”

“You can’t…” He didn’t finish and just stared at nothing.

“I can’t what?”

“Ehm what? Who are you?”

“You really don’t know?”

“Are you an intruder? I bet you are.” He grabbed Night Watcher by the throat and threw him out through the roof. “And now to finish him.” He walked the stairs, almost falling, sat down on the chair and looked through the telescope. He saw that Night Watcher was heading this way. “Ok lets see if this work.” He put his hand on the telescope and made it glow. “Ready.” The telescope glowed brighter. “Set.” He aimed the telescope at Night Watcher. “FIRE!” A huge beam fired from the telescope and was heading for Night Watcher.

“Whats this?” Night Watcher asked as he saw the beam coming at him. “Whatever it is, I can take it.” Just as he said that he got hit by beam. “Aaaaahhhh.” He screamed until he was incinerated.

Shooting Star leaned on the chair with a smug. “Well that was fun. Whoever that was he sure won’t come back again.” He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

*******************

Hours later.

*******************

*bang* *bang*

“Urgh.” Shooting Star wakes up by knocking on the door. He stands up and holds his head. “Oh what a hangover.” He slowly walks down the stairs as the knocking on the door kept going. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” He opens the door and saw Twilight. “What?”

“Are you alright? You smell really bad and you got all those marks over your face.”

“Yes I’m alright, now what do you want?”

“I was going to ask what that big light beam coming from your house was.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“Really?”

“Yes really. Now if you excuse me I have to take a shower and see what I can do with this hangover.”

“How many of those whiskey drinks did you drink?”

“Well I drank five bottles before you and the gang visited me and two after you guys left.”

“Wow, must have been pretty strong stuff then.”

“Yeah.” He was about to close the door, but a purple hoof stopped it. He looked at Twilight with a little angry glare. “What more do you want.”

“I think you’re not alright. I want to help you.”

“Help me? I don’t need any help. I all need is to stay here until my castle is done.”

“And then what?”

He opened up his mouth, but closed it and started to think. A few seconds later he answered. “I don’t know.”

“Come to the library so we can talk ok?”

He sighed out loud a big sigh. “Alright.” And then he closed the door.

***********************

At the library.

***********************

“Hey Twilight are you in here?” Shooting Star asked as he walks inside the library. He closed the door behind him and saw that the library was all dark. He sighed. “Just come out already and say surprise.”

The library was lit up and saw that all of the six ponies stood there. “How did you know?” Pinkie asked.

“I’m not stupid. I have seen you do this before.” He then looks at Twilight. “I thought you wanted to talk?”

“Yes I do, but Pinkie thought it would be a good idea to give you a party as a thank you for saving us.”

“I told you, I fought him because he was going to kill me.”

“Suuuuuuure you did.” Pinkie joked.

“Urgh, so what did you want to talk to me about?”

“We are worried about you. Yesterday you acted really weird. After you fought Nightmare Fuel you where calm and mature. Now you’re a wreck.”

“Hey its only been one day. It takes atleast three days to become a wreck.”

“Shooting Star, please take this serious.”

He looks at all of them. “Alright I’ll talk.” He goes and sits in a chair. The others follows him and sits in front of to listen. “When I came back here I had just one goal, to help Twilight. And know that I have done it, in my way, I don’t know what else to do. I feel kind of useless, just like back home.”

“Your not useless, not here and I bet not on your planet.” Twilight said.

“Not in my dad’s eyes.”

“Didn’t you say your dad was a king or something?”

“I did? Oh yeah I did. Anyways, yes he was. He wanted me to be like him, but I just wanted to live like a normal guy. My dad got angry and thought I was betraying our country. He threw me out of the family and I never really saw him again.”

“Shooting Star thats-” He interrupted her.

“Thats nothing, so say nothing about it ok?”

“Ok, but what are you going to do?”

“I have already told you guys, I’m going to wait until my castle is ready so I can live there.”

“Yes we know, but we think you haven’t thought this through. You know that you can be usefull. You got your magic to help you.”

“So what your saying is that I should use my powers to become a superhero?”

“No not at all.”

“I’ll do it. I will become Equestrias version of Superman.” Then he ran out of the door and flied up to the sky.”

“This won’t end well.” Twilight said and shook her head.

Chapter 5: Shooting Star is a Superhero?

View Online

Shooting Star was flying through the sky, humming the Superman theme. He was looking for if someone was in danger and needed his help. He was flying for a while until he heard someone yell.

“Help.” He looks down and saw a unicorn mare in front of a tree.

Shooting Star lands. “Whats the problem miss?”

The unicorn looks at him. “My cat is stuck on top of that tree.” She points her hoof at the tree in front of her. Shooting Star looks up and saw a balck cat sitting on a branch on the tree.

Shooting Star looks back at the mare. “Ehm...why don’t you just use your magic?”

“Oh no I can’t. My cat doesn’t like it when I use magic on him.”

“Well then I have to do it the old fashion way.” He walkes to the tree and started to climb it. It wasn’t really that tall so he was on the top in a few seconds. There he saw the black cat just sitting. “Ok lets do this. Hello kitty.” The cat looked at him. “Are you stuck here? I’m here to help you.” The cat just sat there as Shooting Star slowly crawled towards the cat. “Nice kitty.” He finally was in front of the cat and picked it up. “Well this was easy.” Just as he said that, the cat jumped out from his grasp and start to claw him all over his face. “Ow ow ow my face.” Shooting Star started to try and get the cat off, but when he did he accidently broke a branch and he fell down to the ground on his back.

“Oh no, Smoke Cloud.” The unicorn mare ran to Shooting Star and the cat. She picked the cat up with her hooves. “Did the bad monkey hurt you? Don’t worry, mommy will take care of you.” She placed the cat on her back and walked away.

Shooting Star weakly sat up. “Is it bad that the cliche hurt me more then the cat and the fall combined?” He stooded up and touched his face to see of the damage was on his face. “Scrathed two times in a row and in the face nonetheless.” He opened his wings and went up to the air again. “Hope I can find someone with more kindness.”

As he said that, he heard a female scream. “AAAAAAHHHH!”

“It came that way.” He said as he was pointing at the direction he heard the scream. “I’m coming.” Then he flew at the direction the scream came from. Where he heard was in the dark part of Ponyville. When he had arrived at the place, he then looked down to see what was going down. What he saw was quite surprising to say at least. There was a mare in a dark alley with three ponies pushing her to the wall. He could hear clearly what they where saying.

“Come on sweetie, give us your saddle bag and we won’t hurt you that much.” An earth pony said to the mare.

The mare looked really scared and was shaking like it was an earthquake. “No its mine. Why do you want it anyways? Why can’t you just buy your own?”

“Because if we do, we will loose bits and we don’t want to lose bits.” A pegasus said.

“But I don’t want to lose bits too you know.”

“Yeah, but we don’t care.” A unicorn said. “Now if you want to live you better give us the saddle bag.”

The mare just looked at the three of them and then sighed. “Fine.” She took the saddle bag off and threw it at them. The unicorn then caught it with his magic. “There, happy?”

“Yes I am, but I promised my friends here to have some fun with you.” The earth pony and the pegasus then smirked.

The mare looked shocked. “What do you mean?”

“It means, get down or we will make you.” The eath pony was about to jump at the mare, but he stopped when he heard a voice.

“Ok, here is where I step in because rape is crossing the line.” The three bad ponies and the mare looked at the opening of the alley and saw Shooting Star standing there with his arms crossed.

“And what the buck are you suppose to be?” The unicorn said.

“I am Shooting Star, the new hero of Ponyville and the defender of the weak.”

“...Never heard of you.”

“Well I said I was new.”

“Well we will still kick your plot. Boys go and get him.” The earth pony ran straight for Shooting Star while the pegasus flew at him. Shooting Star just used his magic to levitate them. “W-what is this?”

“Magic. Don’t you know magic when you see it?”

“But thats impossible. How can a stupid monkey like you use magic?”

“Well I would have told you, but you called me a stupid monkey so I won’t. The only thing I will do is give you your friends back.” After he said that, he threw the two ponies at the unicorn straight at him. The mare got out of the way as the two ponies hit the unicorn, making all three of them fly straight to the wall. After they hit the wall, they passed out after the impact on the wall. “Well that was easy.”

The mare went and picked up her saddle bag as she was on her way to Shooting Star. “Thank you mister.”

“Please call me Shooting Star. It is my name.”

“Yes, sorry mis-I mean Shooting Star. I just have had it tuff lately.”

“Don’t worry now, miss. Hopefully these guys won’t bother you anymore. Well I’m off.” As he said that, he flew off. He could see the mare wave to him and walk back home safetly. What Shooting Star didn’t know was that some black smoke came out from the three unconscious ponies.

**************************
A few minutes later.
**************************

“Ok I have done two hero jobs today, but they where kind of easy. I want some kind of excitement.” He flew there for a moment until he heard a voice from behind.

“Hello there.” He turned around and saw Ditzy Doo or as some ponies usually calls her, Derpy Hooves.

“Can I help you or something?”

“Yes actually. Have you seen a muffin? I dropped a muffin and I can’t find it.”

“Then why are you looking up here?”

“Because it might have fallen on one of the clouds.”

Shooting Star just smirked and shook his head. He knew that Ditzy was a bit special. “Ok I will help you. You can look up here while I look down on the ground.” Ditzy nodded as Shooting Star flew down to the ground to look for the muffin. He landed near a cafe with some ponies sitting and eating. He looked and saw a blueberry muffin. He thought that maybe that was Ditzy’s so he looked up into the sky and yelled at her. “I found the muffin!”

Like lightning, Ditzy flew towards him and landed beside him. “You did?”

Shooting Star nods and points at the muffin. “I think its that one right there.”

“Oh yes it is.” She hugged him. “Thank you for helping me.”

“No problem, its what I do.”

Ditzy was about to get the muffin, but a big stallion took it. “Hey! Thats my muffin.”

“Sorry, but I don’t see your name on it. You can’t prove that this is your muffin.”

“Can’t you just give the mare the muffin? You can probably buy one yourself.” Shooting Star said, trying to help Ditzy.

“No way. I won’t let down free food that easily. If you want a muffin so bad, why don’t you go and buy one yourself.”

“But I don’t have any more bits on me.” Ditzy said.

“Well tuff luck, but I won’t let this baby go.” And then the stallion ate the muffin in one bite.

“B-b-b-ut that w-was mine.” Ditzy was now in tears. She tried to not cry and make a scene, but it was already a few ponies watching them argue.

“Well too bad. Hahaha.” The stallion started to laugh while Ditzy cried. He continued to laugh, but he stopped after a fist hit him in the face and he blacked out.

Ditzy looked up and saw that it was Shooting Star that punched the stallion. “I really hate selfish people.” He then looked at the sad Ditzy. “Let’s go to Sugercube Corner. I still got some bits left after I bought my house.”

“Y-you would do that?” Ditzy said, getting over the other muffin.

“Of course.” He started to walk to the direction where Sugercube Corner was. He looked back and saw Ditzy still standing near the cafe. “Are you coming?”

Ditzy was silent for a minute before smiling and walked beside Shooting Star. When they left some black smoke came out from the unconscious stallion.
