> Chapter 1: Moon of Avenged Sevenfold
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Princess Celestia sat in her room as the moon shone through her window, reading a leather bound book. Her mane and tail were a rainbow of pastel colors and flowed in a nonexistent wind. Behind her long horn, sat a slightly smaller gold tiara, complete with a purple diamond in the center. Her face, while normally the site of a serene, almost motherly smile, was set in a worried frown.
She saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return. Nobody could deny that. But there was something not sitting right with her. She knew her student would eventually send a letter asking for help in stopping Nightmare Moon. She already had a plan for that. And she knew in her heart that the Elements of Harmony would be reignited by her spark. But there was one piece she didn't understand. Something in her notes from Starswirl the Bearded never made sense to her.

        "The full potential of the Elements of Harmony is unknown. But conflict always arises, no matter the era. When one who knows the true power of harmony and peace comes, the greatest power in Equestria can be harnessed for good. Few can possess it, but only one can harness it to its full potential.”

        That was all he wrote on the subject. At first, she thought he was talking about another Alicorn, but after Cadence was crowned, her theory proved to be false. She thought it was a new element, but that was inconclusive, as it didn’t make itself known before or when she had sealed her sister into the moon. The only hint she was given was given was a picture of a white gem depicting something inside it, but it wasn't clear enough to make out. She didn't know who or what this "one who knows true harmony and peace" would be, but she knew it would be needed sooner than she'd like. 
        Her purple eyes continued to study the book from her mentor, trying to find something to help her figure out this mystery. She sighed before closing the book and setting it to the side, rubbing her eyes. Walking out to her balcony, she stared at the moon she had raised only a few hours before. I don’t want to be your enemy, my sister, she thought. But I don’t know how else to get through to you. I need to find the seventh element.
        A knock on the door brought her from her thoughts. “Your Highness?” the male guard called. “Are you still awake?”
“Yes I am,” she answered, walking back into the room. “You may come in.” 
A white stallion in gold bordered, purple armor walked into the room. His helmet had a mohawk of hair in varying shades of blue and his chest piece had an emblem in the center of a shield with a six pointed star spread out to the border. Enveloped in the pinkish-purple glow of his magic was a roll of parchment with a black seal ribbon. “You have a letter from Princess Mi Amore Cadenza,” the stallion said.
        This got her attention, as her niece has rarely sent a letter to her this late in the night. “Thank you, Shining Armor,” she replied, taking the letter in her own magic and unrolling it.
        
“Dear Princess Celestia,
        My apologies for sending this so late, but I have an idea as to how this mysterious seventh element you’re researching works. For the last few months I’ve been having what I now believe to be visions of some kind, all centering around a creature. In my visions, I noticed that it was different from others of its kind; more caring of others than most of its people. I think this creature will be the key to unlocking the element. I don’t know why, but this connection feels similar to when I first got my cutie mark.
I await your quick response.
Yours truly,
        Princess Mi Amore Cadenza
        Celestia knew then her niece was serious, as she only used formal titles in serious situations. She thought about this theory before looking back at the book, specifically the picture of the seventh element. As if reaching an epiphany, she quickly clear the books off her desk and levitated a quill and parchment in front of herself to write her reply.
        When she finished, she sealed it with the same black ribbon that the previous letter was sent in and gave the letter to her guard captain. “Deliver this to her quickly. You are dismissed.” Shining Armor saluted and made a quick exit. Celestia looked back out the window to her sister’s current prison.
Whoever you are, Celestia thought grimly, I feel your help will be will be our only chance to save Equestria from destruction.





        "Oooh, another Luna episode. So is this gonna introduce something that will make me liker her more?"
        One Episode Viewing Later...
        "Nope!"
        "Oh great, what did they do this time?" I asked the computer screen. I had long heard of the newest generation of “My Little Pony” but never really had the motivation to watch it. But after watching one of my favorite youtubers do a review on some of the episodes, I got curious.

        So, I guess I better introduce myself. My name is Jimmy. My brown hair was cut short in a buzz cut and my beard, while also short and clean cut, showed two vertical ginger stripes on the outer edges. I'm 21 years old, meaning, for those not in America, I'm allowed to drink and not get arrested for it. If someone were to ask me what I’m like, I’d just quote my grandfather, saying, “I’m a gentleman and a scholar, and there are damn few of us left.”
Crappy jokes aside, I'm a guy that likes to keep the peace. I always try to underside both sides of a situation before trying to solve it as quickly and easily as possible. And coming from me, that more than most people can say for themselves. 
“..and the ending...Oh man does that carry some unfortunate implications if you take it too seriously." The end of the video brought me out of my musings. I watched the end credits before closing the Youtube tab and hitting the play button on my Pandora. Once again, Firebrand had made me wonder about actually watching the show. I mean, I lived alone and it's not like anyone would walk in on me. Heck, even if I publicly announced I became a brony after watching the whole series for myself, I doubt many people would really care.
        But at the same time, there was my own problems with the show, main one being it's a kids' show and I have no need to watch a stupid kids' show, let alone one meant for little girls. There's also the fact that some of the problems in the show weren't handled very well, even for kids' shows standards.
        Three songs and fifteen minutes of surfing various fanfiction sites of nothing worth reading later, I made my decision. Screw it, I'll watch the show, I thought.
 After finding a website that hosted Seasons 1-5, I found the first episode of the first season and clicked play.
        Or at least I would have...if my phone hadn't decided to ring. I swiped my phone's touch screen to answer it. I didn't recognize the number though.
        "Hello?" I greeted.
"Hello," the voice at the other end replied. It somehow sounded familiar. "I'm calling about a survey for the next convention that will be coming to Washington soon. It will only take about ten minutes of your time, are you willing to participate?"
        I thought about it for a minute, before answering. "Sure, what the heck. I have some time to kill."
        "Excellent, now have you been to any kind of conventions before, and if so, what was it?"
        "I went to Sakura-Con back in March, which was an anime convention. I also went to Aki-Con last month, also an anime convention."
        "And what did you think of those events?"
        "They were pretty fun, super expensive though." I didn't mention that I had a limit of $40 at the time of both conventions. 
        "That's how most conventions are, sir," the attendant laughed. I swear, I knew where I had heard it, but just couldn't place the name or face to the voice. "Now, have you been to other conventions since then?"
        "My friend once dragged me to a Brony convention...I think it was called Everfree Northwest or something. I didn't like it as much, considering I wasn't interested in the franchise it celebrates very much." Then again, living in a small town in the middle-of-nowhere part of Washington leaves a lot to be desired too. Oh wait, I already live there.
        "What do you think the staff could do to interest people outside of the brony community into watching the show for themselves?"
        "I understand what the show's target audience is supposed to be, and I feel it's fine as it is. The only thing you can let people do is decide what they think of it for themselves. After being presented all the evidence, it's all up to the interpretation of the viewer. To put it simply, the best thing you can do to attract people from outside of the brony community is let them see how good the show is for themselves. Only then can they form their opinions of the show."
        There was a pause on the other end for a moment before the person spoke up again. "That's an interesting way to put it. Are you a brony yourself, then?" I think I heard him smirk...must have been my imagination.
        "No, I was just about to turn on the show for myself to see what I think of it myself. As of right now, I'd only been watching reviews of the episodes by a guy known to many bronies as Commander Firebrand." 
        "Ah I see. I've heard of him. Well, I'm pleased to inform you that for taking this survey, and answering one of our questions precisely as we're looking for, you have received a special reward from us, and a free VIP pass to the next convention of your choice, including free airfare and room and board. Which convention would you like your free pass to?"
        I was about to answer, then really thought about it. If I just pick a random convention, I will most likely screw myself over. I then went over my various options before deciding on a classic. "I think I'll take the free pass to Sakura-Con."
        "Alright then. Your free pass with free airfare and free room and board will be mailed to you. What is your mailing address?" I gave him my address. "Okay, and your special reward will be coming to you sometime in the next few minutes. Thank you for participating in our survey this evening."
        "Thank you for listening to my ramblings. Have yourself a good night."
        "You too, sir. Goodbye, and good luck."
        "Bye." I hung up my phone and put it back in my pocket. I then processed what he said and facepalmed. Now I remember where I know his voice. That sounded like Discord. That just begs the question. What was the good luck for? I eventually shrugged it off for later.
        Turning back to my computer, I saw the episode was still loading up, but it looked like something was preventing it from going further. I frowned and reloaded the page. Same result. I tried again. 

        And again.

        And again.

        Why isn't it loading properly? The internet isn't that bad if I can manage to play TF2 and Splatoon at normal speeds without problems. Plus, I've used this site before with other shows. 
        That was when a popup appeared with some kind of slender dragon-thing pointing to the words, “Want to go to Equestria? Click Here!” I groaned at the ad, trying to close it, but I couldn’t click any other buttons; my mouse was locked into the ad. I couldn’t even use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the task manager. Left with little choice, I clicked the Okay button. I can always debug it later. Then the screen went black. What's going on?
My poor computer started sparking at this point, causing me to back away out of fear. The screen had blacked out before text started typing itself in a blue and purple font.


USE YOUR TIME HERE WISELY, BOY.


        What the he- I barely got a chance to think as some kind of blue mist began pouring out of my computer tower and, as if it had a mind of its own, made its way into my nose, having the same effect as getting a good whiff of chloroform. The last thing I heard was a female voice as I lost consciousness.

        "You are the perfect candidate for me."





        I awoke slowly to the rustling wind in the trees. I didn't know what happened, but from what I could gather, someone kidnapped me and pretty much left me for dead in the middle of a spooky forest. Thankfully, it was dark enough that when I opened my eyes, it didn't blind me. Though, I'll admit something felt a little off. Like there were many things in this forest that could kill me without batting an eye. I slowly sat up and looked around, trying to get my bearings. The trees were covered in various vines and hanging moss, giving them claw like appendages for branches. 
        Yeesh, I thought, the only thing missing from this scenario is having to hunt down eight pages while avoiding the Slenderman.
        While not completely true, I wasn't totally wrong. Though the thing throwing me off most was how...cartoonish everything looked. Nevermind how dark it was. I slowly got up to a sitting position and looked around before trying to stand up. A small headrush forced me to lean against a nearby tree for support. When I could finally see again, I looked around some more, trying to get my bearings. 
Okay, what the hell happened? Who kidnapped me and dumped me in a forest? For that matter, what drug is this that makes everything look like it was animated by Flash? I figured I wasn’t going to get answers by just standing around, and I started walking in a random direction. 
I didn’t know how long I was walking for, but nearly jumped for joy when I could see a path leading out of the forest. That joy was short lived, however, when the sound of metal or glass landing on the ground behind me caught my attention. The chilling female voice made me rigid.
        "Well, well, well, what have we here?" I jumped in surprise, landing on my butt when the lady spoke. Slowly, I turned my body to a crawling position as I turned around, only to be met with two pairs of long, black legs ending in armored hooves. I followed the legs up to a blue chest piece with a crescent moon in the center. Further up, the black horse-like figure's head was covered by a blue helmet with holes for her ears and...long, sharp, twisted horn. Her mane and tail seemed to be made of the night sky itself, being completely blue with sparkling, white dots spread out in constellations. To complete the intimidating look, her large black wings were spread out impressively and her light blue eyes had a slit pupil accompanied by purple eye shadow. 
        One thought went through my head as I slowly stood to my full height, just barely above her with her horn. A thought which I vocalized as I turned around and walked in a random direction. "NOPE, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, ALL OF THE NOPE!!"
        This couldn't be happening. There is no possible way for me to have found a way into a forest with freaking Nightmare Moon, of all things, taking any kind of interest in me. 
        "And where do you think you're going, ape?" AND SHE'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
        I wound up falling on my ass (again) in surprise making a...less than manly squeak. Shut up, it's not that funny!
        In my fear driven state, my reply was slightly shaky, as my brain to mouth filter had shut off. "Okay, first off, I'm not an ape. If you're gonna insult someone, at least have the decency to know their species. Second, I'm trying to get away from the bad acid trip of knowing that I'm talking to a fictional villain that honestly belongs in the kids' show I know it from."
        The corrupted princess just chuckled a belly laugh. "It seems you have snark, little boy. I assure you, I'm very real. You have no idea who you are in the presence of, do you?" My fear ebbed away as I took out my phone and pulled up the notes app. The black mare didn't notice as she continued. "I am the one that will bring eternal night to Equestria, the Mare of the Moon, the Princess of the Night. I am Nightmare Moon!"
        I put a couple fingers to my chin in thought. "Do I check one of them or two for that bit?" I shrugged and checked two boxes. Her laugh made me check a third box as an afterthought. "So I've just come to a realization, Nightmare Moon."
        "And what is that? That you are powerless to stop me?"
        "No. It's that you're what people in my home consider an unoriginal villain." That seemed to throw her off.
        "W-What?"
        "Yeah, you've filled all of the cliches that make one."
        "And just what are these 'cliches', boy?" she spat with rising anger.
        "Boasting, Monologing, and an Evil Laugh." I decided to leave out the last requirement of yelling an elongated 'no' as they're defeated, but I remembered that she did it when she got beat by the Mane 6. "Congratulations, you are an Unoriginal Vil-GAH!" I was interrupted by a blast to the chest, knocking me into a nearby tree. "Jeez, learn to take a joke, lady," I wheezed. I looked down at where I was blasted, only for there to be a smoking hole in my shirt and a small burn on my chest.
        "How DARE you disrespect royalty like myself!" she yelled angrily. For a minute, I thought I saw a tint of purple across her face. "Even before I was banished, ponies gave proper respect to me and my sister! Why should I not punish you for your insolence?"
        I grunted as I tried to stand back up. "Because unlike most people, my respect has to be earned. I don't just give it to those who demand it, regardless of position or bloodline." 
        Nightmare Moon growled, "If you wish to continue living, then I suggest you treat your betters with the respect they deserve." Her tone sent chills down my spine, and I knew she would kill me.
        Despite my shaky tone, I continued digging myself an even deeper grave. "Ever heard of the phrase, 'treat others how you wish to be treated'? Then you'll know that in order to get respect, you have to give it."
        Her horn glowed intimidatingly as she rose to the air via her wings. In response, I settled into a loose fighting stance. I might be rusty in Taekwondo, but I remember enough to do some damage if I have to. A bolt of magic shot my way as I dove into a tuck and roll to dodge. She then started firing a barrage of magical bolts. I tried to dodge as many as I could, but she had hit me in the stomach and MAN DO THOSE ATTACKS BURN! The shirt I was wearing had been reduced to a pile of burned rags still clinging to my toned, yet bony, body. And I'm pretty sure I might have a couple of second degree burns. She kept up her assault of burning bolts of magic, though, and soon I began to pick up a pattern in her rate of fire. I weaved through most of them, though the ones I was hit by were grazes. They still burned like hell. I eventually got close enough to land an uppercut to her chin, thanks to a nicely timed jump catching her off guard. 
Unfortunately, she learned from that mistake, using her greater mobility to her advantage. Then she did something unexpected. Landing on the ground, she charged at me like a bull with her horn pointed down. Oh crap, she’s gonna skewer me! I jumped out of the way and just ran in a random direction. I didn’t know where I was going. Nor did I care, as long as I was away from her.
This chase through the forest lasted for all of two minutes with me getting cornered. She laughed again as she made her way toward me. “Any last words, ape?” she spat venomously.
Thinking quick, I did what, in hindsight, was probably my dumbest decision ever. “Just four,” I replied as she charged magic in her horn again. “Boot to the head.”
She narrowed her eyes in confusion, only to widen them in surprise as my shoe-clad foot made impact with her chin, knocking her back a few steps and dispelling the magical charge.
        She shook her head and spat out a wad of of blood and spit. She stared at me in a moment in surprise, then grinned. "Perhaps I have some use for you after all...boy." I didn't like the way she said that. "I'm surprised you were able to land a hit on me at all."
        "That's because you underestimated me, Moony. Though I will admit, your magic attacks burn like Tartarus."
        "I will offer you a proposal."
        I frowned at this. "What kind of proposal?"
        "What is it you want most in this world? I can give it to you." 
        She cannot be serious right now. "What's the catch?"
        "Serve as my guard and adviser. And in return, I will grant your desire, whatever it may be."
        I frowned in thought. If she knows how to get me home, then I could probably get her to send me home. But that's only if she follows through on her word, which in her current state wouldn't be very probable. "So if I asked you to, you would help me find a way home? If, and ONLY if, I choose to act as an adviser and guard to you?"
        "Indeed. What do you say, boy? Will you serve me? Help me rule Equestria?"
        I smirked. "My response to your question...is no." The look on her face was priceless. "Sorry, but your end of the deal would be impossible in your current state. So my answer is no."
        "How do you know I wouldn't be able to do it?"
        “Because I don’t even know how I got here or if this is even the same as my plane of existence. Unless you can work through dimensions." She cocked her head in confusion while her eyes narrowed. "I thought so."
        Her posture went rigid. "Though your words confuse me, if that truly is your answer, then you leave me no choice." She charged up her horn again and fired. I didn't have the time or energy to dodge. I was blasted into unconsciousness.

	“Who are you, and what do you want?”

I’m me, and I don’t know.

“How do you live your life?”

The way any decent person should.

“Is your belief that people follow you or get punished?”

What?

“Do your people not punish others who don’t act or look like them?”

My race might be hypocritical assholes every now and then, but not my people. My people are the most caring, kind, and charitable people you will ever come across.

“Is that what you truly believe?”

What’s that supposed to mean?

“Did your people not cause the deaths of millions in the past? All because of their beliefs conflicting with their victims’?”

That’s not-

“You are not ready for my power yet. You must be able to know how to see beneath deception, from all you know.”

What’s that even mean?! You’re not Kakashi, you can’t just give cryptic BS to decode!

“....ou...er..e?

Who? 

“..ve….om..oom…..rea..”

Who’s talking now?





Twilight and her ‘friends’ had been preparing to go to the ruins of the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters to find the Elements of Harmony. She wasn’t sure how to feel about this mission, mainly because she wanted to do this herself with Princess Celestia’s help. But she would take what she could get with these ponies. They certainly seemed able to handle themselves...most of them anyway.
“Are we ready to go, girls?” she asked them. Various affirmative confirmations made her nod and open the door via her magic. “Alright, then let’s go.” As they walked, Twilight couldn’t help but think about the passage from the reference guide, as it noted the possibility of a seventh element that only came in times of great distress, but there wasn’t much that could be gleaned from it other than it takes someone who ‘knows the true power of harmony and peace’ to wield it. It didn’t make much sense to her with so little information.
About ten minutes later they had stood on the border of…
“The Everfree Forest,” the girls uttered fearfully. A few more seconds of staring at the forest’s border passed before the silence was broken.
“Whee! Let’s go!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“Not so fast,” Twilight denied, causing the pink pony to freeze in her tracks. “Look, I appreciate the offer, but I’d really rather do this on my own.”
Applejack stepped up behind her. “No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain’t lettin’ any friend of our go into that creepy place alone.” Twilight winced at the word ‘friend’ as the others trotted up to the entrance. “We’re stickin’ to you like caramel on a candy apple.”
Pinkie started moving again. “Especially if there’s candy apples involved.” Twilight stared at her. “What? Those things are good!”
Before they got very far, however, a groan caught their attention. The other ponies had come back after seeing Twilight hadn’t moved, and heard the groan. 
“What was that?” Rainbow Dash asked fearfully.
“I dunno,” Applejack replied shakily, “but I think it sounded like somepony sayin’ ‘medic’.” 
That was when they found...it. A very tall, nearly hairless creature that bore a resemblance to a minotaur and an ape at the same time. It wore clothing on its legs, though not even Rarity was familiar with the material. On its top half were the remains of a shirt that seemed to have short sleeves going halfway down his upper arms. The main area of the shirt was covered in holes that seemed to be burned through, showing red, blistering skin. The creature’s face seemed to be one of pained unconsciousness, as its eyes kept twitching as if they were frantically looking around underneath its eyelids, and a pained breath escaped its mouth every few seconds.
“What is that thing?” Rainbow Dash had asked. 
“I’m not sure, Rainbow,” Twilight replied. “Fluttershy?”
Said pegasus looked at the creature hesitantly before noticing its twitching. “I don’t know, Twilight,” she responded surprisingly calmly. “But I think it’s having a nightmare.”
“And them injuries look mighty fresh for it to have been layin’ here very long,” Applejack stated.
Pinkie Pie popped up behind her, “Ooh! Ooh! I think I know what it is!” The other five looked at her curiously. “It’s a human!” They shared a look with each other before looking back at Pinkie.
“A what?” Applejack asked.
“A human!” Pinkie pulled out a book and turned to a page. 
“Where did you get that book, Pinkie?” Twilight asked.
“From the library.”
Twilight shook her head in exasperation before looking at the page Pinkie pointed out, reading it aloud. “A human is creature resembling a bipedal ape with little to no fur on their bodies except for on their head and sometimes their faces. Unlike ponies, they cannot utilize magic, and instead used their intellect to make their own solutions to problems. They are known to be violent, if provoked, and are omnivorous. They are said to have died off before the time of Equestria’s creation, and any remains of their civilizations are buried under the cities of Canterlot, Manehatten, Fillydelphia, Baltimare, Seaddle, San Franciscolt, Los Pegasus, Vanhoover, and other big cities.”
“If they died off before Equestria’s founding, where did this one come from?” Rarity wondered.
“I’m not sure,” Twilight replied. “But I think it was kicked out of the Everfree Forest.”
“How do you know that, Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked. 
Applejack answered instead. “See how the dirt’s all piled up here? It means that it skidded across the ground before finally stoppin’.”
“That can’t have been good for its back,” Rainbow Dash replied.
A groan caught their attention as the creature began stirring. 
“I think it’s waking up!” Pinkie said.
Fluttershy walked up to the human carefully. “Can you hear me?”
Everyone began to crowd around her to see the human wake up.
“Give it some room to breathe,” Twilight said, causing all the ponies to back up as the human rubbed its face.
“Ooooow, MAN that hurt! Who got the license plates on that truck?” The six glanced at each other in confusion as the human looked sat up slowly. “Well, at least I gave Moony the slip.” He looked down at his chest where a bubbling, angry, red section of skin stared back at him. “Or, more like, she shot me out of her grasp. Either way, at least I’m away from her.”
“Um, excuse me?” Fluttershy spoke for them, causing the human to freeze.
“I have a bad feeling about what I’m going to see when I turn around,” it stated. Slowly, it stood up to it’s full height before turning its head to look at them with its deep brown eyes.
Twilight spoke first, though hesitantly. “Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. What’s your name?”
The human turned to face them fully, making Rarity and Fluttershy gasp at the red patches covering his torso. “My name is Jimmy,” it replied emotionlessly, wincing slightly at the pain on his chest. “By the way, does anyone know where I can find a doctor? I believe I need some medical attention.” Twilight sprung into action, pulling some bandages out of her bag. 
“I can’t do much, but I can at least bandage up those burns.” She looked at him curiously as she levitated the bandage roll around his chest. “How did you get these burns anyway?”
He seemed to hesitate, waving off the bandages for a moment before answering. “Desperate dodging and getting hit by magical blasts.” He chuckled humorlessly. “I might also have a few cracked ribs. I guess if Moony’s packin’ that much heat, I need to stay as far away as possible. By the way, burns shouldn’t be wrapped. Irritates the raw skin, pops the blisters and cause major scarring.” He sat down to give her a better reach with her magic.
“Who’s Moony?” Rarity asked.
“Black pony, long wings, long horn, blue armor, creepy laugh. Why, she sound familiar to you?”
Twilight paused, dropping the bandages in shock. “That’s Nightmare Moon!”
“That’s right, that’s her name. As for my encounter with her, here’s what I remember. I wake up in the forest, how I got there from my house, I have no clue. Anyway, after spending a few minutes trying to get out of it, she comes up behind me and starts threatening me into serving her. I, of course, freaked out like most in my situation would and tried to run. Except she practically teleported tight in front of me and asked me where I was going while calling me an ape.” 
Some quiet snickering interrupted the story. Twilight sent a scathing look at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, effectively shutting them up. “Please continue, Jimmy.”
“Thank you. In response, I told her if she was gonna insult someone, she should at least have the decency to know their species. As for where I was going, I was trying to get away from the bad acid trip of knowing that I was talking to a fictional villain that looks like it belongs in the kids’ show I know her from. She doesn’t like my tone very much and starts blasting me with magic, landing a few good hits and grazes.” He grimaced at his torso again before continuing. “I soon pick up a pattern in her blasts, and start avoiding them to get close enough to land a good uppercut to her chin.” He emphasized the statement with an uppercut punch in the air in front of him. “She then decided to try and rush me on the ground with her horn pointed down at me, at which point we had a chase that felt like hours long but was probably only a couple minutes. She had then cornered me and asked me what most villains do when they think they’ve won.”
“What’d she ask?” Pinkie Pie asked excitedly.
“She said, ‘Any last words?’ to which I replied, ‘Boot to the Head’ and I kicked her head, knocking her back a few steps. She then offered me a position as her guard/advisor again in return for helping me find a way home. I still refused.”
Rainbow Dash looked at the human suspiciously. “Why would you refuse that chance to go home? Why would you consider an offer like that in the first place?”
He looked at her with an awkward look that seemed to be a cross between sorrow and deadpan. “Remember how I said I have no clue how I got in that forest from my house?” The six mares nodded as he continued. “It’s because I don’t know if I’m even in the same universe as my home.”
There were mixed reactions to this statement. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie gasped in shock. Applejack and Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow disbelievingly. Rarity tilted her head in confusion. Twilight, though, stared at him like he was insane.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” she exclaimed. “How are you here? Really! The humans died off years before Equestria was even founded! There’s no way you’re from a different universe because...because…”
“What?” Jimmy rose an eyebrow of his own. “I look too ordinary for you? Let me ask you something, Twilight. Have you ever heard of Multiverse Theory?”
Twilight thought for a moment before nodding. “That’s the theory of the existence of an infinite number of parallel universes, right?” He nodded as realization dawned on Twilight’s face. “No way…”
“What is it?” Rainbow Dash asked. 
“Remember what my first words to Nightmare Moon were, my multicolored friend,” Jimmy challenged.
Rainbow Dash looked unsure. “What?”
“‘I’m trying to get away from the bad acid trip of knowing that I’m talking to a fictional villain that belongs in the kids’ show I know it from.’ Think about it for a minute.” Realization lit up on all six ponies’ faces. “Do you get it now? In my reality, this universe is nothing more than a kids’ show...with a more grown up fanbase than should be possible.” The human muttered the last part to himself, though Twilight still heard it. “Anyways, after I refused, she blasted me with another magic attack which knocked me out, then I wake up to you six.”





It was hard for me to gauge their reactions to what had happened only hours before, but I could tell there was some disbelief in the crowd before me. I knew, though, that we couldn’t stay here for much longer if I was correct in my assumption, which I was really hoping I wasn’t.
“As much as I’m sure you have more questions for me, I get the feeling that you six are on a mission into this forest.”
Twilight seemed to snap out of her stupor. “He’s right. We’ll talk about this after we rescue Princess Celestia and stop Nightmare Moon. Let’s get going.” The other five nodded at this and turned back toward the forest entrance. The sound of my standing up got their attention again. “You should probably get yourself to a hospital in town. They should be able to-”
“See, I’m gonna have to stop you riiiiiight there,” I interrupted. “There is no way in Tartarus I’m letting a bunch of nice mares like you go into the supposedly dark, spooky forest by themselves. And besides…” I smirked maliciously. “I still owe old Moony a few hits for burning my chest and trying to stab me with her horn.”
“I still can’t believe you actually struck her,” Rarity muttered. “Twice, no less.”
I jogged up to the group and walked with them. “I’m surprised about it myself. From what I remember, she looks to be an alicorn that was corrupted by her jealousy, which in turn corrupted her powers and looks. The fact that I was able to hit her at all is most likely only due to me catching her off guard.” I frowned in thought. Even so, there isn’t really a reason for me being able to hit an alicorn like that. What happened that made me able to catch her off guard?





The trek through the Everfree Forest was kinda spooky. Nothing too terrifying, aside from the manticore attack and nearly falling to my death when the cliff collapsed, but it wasn’t exactly calm either. The scary tree faces? I shrugged and told the group I had seen worse before they found Pinkie Pie laughing at another tree. The sea serpent and his mustache? I just sat and waited.
Though, something didn’t feel right as we continued on. I could feel something was wrong in my gut. We had been walking for a good hour before I needed to stop for a break. I sat down on a fallen tree and groaned as pain flared up in my burns. 
“Hey, are you okay, Jimmy?” Rainbow Dash asked.
I nodded while catching my breath. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. I just need to rest a bit.”
Twilight looked at me in concern. “Do you want us to stay with you?”
“No,” I replied immediately. They didn’t need to worry about me. “You guys keep going. I’ll catch up once I’ve caught my breath.” Twilight gave an unsure look but nodded and continued down the path through the forest. I just sighed and brought a foot up to my knee, rotating my ankle to loosen up the joint. Why am I here? I thought. Why am I in this reality at all? If Celestia can help me get home, I won’t be here for very long. But still, what brought me here in the first place?
A twig snapping behind me brought me from my thoughts. I spun around into a defensive stance, mindful of my blisters. “Who’s there?” I demanded.
“H-Hello?” a meek voice came from the trees. “Is someone there?” I noticed the use of someone rather than somepony. 
“Come out where I can see you with your hands up!” I figured sounding like a cop would help me boost my confidence, but I was sadly mistaken as I realized I had no weapon to back it up.
A pale, dainty hand made its way out of the foliage, followed by a skinny arm, a head of black hair framing a heart-shaped face, and finally a boooooo- HOLY CRAP THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE! Her…*ahem* ‘assets’ were fairly sized (probably DD) and barely concealed by a dark blue, spaghetti strap tank top, and her legs were clad in a pair jeans that were torn in places on her thighs, showing how nearly flawless, toned, and pale they were.
“Are you okay?” she asked me.
I shook my head, reorganizing my thoughts. “I could ask you the same thing. Who are you? And how did you get here?”
She took a seat on the log I was sitting on moments before. “My name is Priscilla. I don’t know how I got here. I just woke up in a cave a few miles out and tried to find a way out of here.” She then looked at my chest again. “How did you get those burns? They look pretty bad.”
“Not as bad as they could have been,” I replied quickly. “I woke up in a different part of the forest and tried to get a fire going.” She winced and nodded sympathetically. “Oh, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t get the burns from trying to light the fire.”
“Then what did you get them from?”
Something about the way she asked that didn’t sit right with me. Therefore, I figured telling her about Nightmare Moon would be a dumb idea, and settled for the next best (and most plausible) option. “Believe it or not, a dragon. I’m still wondering how one of those is even existing, let alone in a forested area without damaging the environment around it, because the thing was freaking huge!” I winced again as pain flared up in my burns.
Priscilla just laughed lightly. “How did you get away from it?”
“I have no clue. I got hit with something that knocked me out of the forest and consciousness. I’m here trying to see if there’s a way for me to get home in an old ruin nearby.” 
Her eyes narrowed slightly, but her smile remained on her face. “Why would you look in an old ruin for a way home? Does your phone not get a signal out here?”
I paused, then pulled my phone out of my pocket. The screen was still in tact, I had a 45% battery, but I had no signal. I could’ve sworn the battery was lower than that before I got here. I know I didn’t put it on the charger. “Nope, no bars.”
A hand on my shoulder got my attention, only for me to lose myself in her big, purple eyes. “Those red spots don’t look too good,” she commented, concerned. 
“Which is why I’m planning on seeing a medic about them later,” I replied. “They still hurt like hell, though.” 
She frowned cutely before bending down a bit. “I have an idea,” she said. “I’ve got an ability that may help you until you get some help.”
“What’s tha-AAAAAAH, that’s nice!” The moment her lips touched a red spot near my right shoulder, the pain immediately stopped. She did this with the rest of my burns, taking care not to touch the blisters as they looked like they’d pop at the slightest touch. 
She backed off and looked me in the eye. “It’s no healing spell, but it should stop it from hurting.”
“That feels so much better,” I exclaimed thankfully. If I’m being honest with myself, this was probably where I should’ve suspected something. But at the time, I was preoccupied with my burns finally not being painful anymore. “Thanks for that, really. How am I gonna repay this?”
“Well,” she began, in a tone that sounded far too casual, “I have a few ideas.”
“Like what? Name it.” 
I saw her smirk before she wrapped my arm in her...collection...and kissed me on the cheek. “What is it that you want?”
My response was immediate. “Find a way out of here and back home.”
She interlocked her fingers with mine. “Are you sure? What if I let you have your way with me right now?”
My face froze in silent surprise. “Say what now?”
“Do you really want to go home?” she crooned as she wrapped her arms around my shoulder.
I blushed bright red. “Uuuuum...yeah, I have friends and family that will notice I’m gone.”
“Do you really think they care about you that much?” 
“Yeah...I do.”
She giggled. “They’ll forget you in time. Just as you will them.”
I felt her other hand start travelling down, avoiding the burns and going to my jeans. “Going a little fast, aren’t we, Priscilla? At least buy a guy dinner first.”
She chuckled a light, throaty laugh. “Not in this case. I think we can make each other very happy. I can take you to a world of pleasure that nobody else can give.”
The arm she had wrapped around my neck slid down my back, slowly, sensually, as she got down on her knees. She had unbuttoned my pants and reached in-

“STAND UP FOR THE NIGHT AND CALL THE FIGHT
LET YOUR MIND GO WILD BEFORE THE LIGHT…”

My phone singing Powerwolf caught both of us off guard, as I remember I didn’t have any bars. Looking at the caller ID, I rose an eyebrow at the words “Number Unavailable”. I never thought I’d be thankful to be cock-blocked by my phone.
“Gimme a sec,” I said, swiping my finger to answer. “Hello?”
“Have you caught your breath yet?” Twilight’s voice came through.
“Yeah, where are you guys?”
“We’re at a bridge waiting for Rainbow Dash to fix it.”
“I should be there in a few minutes.”
“Please hurry, I don’t know how long she’ll be!” 
The phone hung up right then. I stared at it before shrugging and putting it back in my pocket. “Well, I’d hate to cut this short, but I have somewhere to be.” I took a few steps back and began buttoning my pants back up.
“Are you serious right now?” Priscilla asked me, her tone unreadable.
“Hey, I hate blue-balling myself too, but there are things a lot more important than doing like they do on the discovery channel with some chick I literally just met five minutes ago.”
“Are you denying me? When I’ve done this much for you and you’ve done nothing for me in return?!” She was yelling by this point. As calmly as I could, I walked up to her and knelt down to her level.
“You can be better than this. Don’t jump someone's bones just because they’re like you or they impress you. That’s not how good relationships start.”
She gave a bitter laugh that turned into a full blown cackle. “Did you honestly think that’s what I was after?” A tearing sound filled the air as two large, dark red, bat-like wings appeared on her back and a spaded tail of the same color tore through her own pants. Two small horns grew out of the sides of her head and her nails grew a few inches, becoming razor sharp in the process. 
No way...is she really…?
“I only sought you out because you’re the only way I can get a free meal around here. But when I don’t get what I want, well…” She inspected her nails, before swiping her hand in front of a nearby tree. Two seconds later, a loud groaning sounded as the tree fell from where in was standing, taking out a few nearby branches from other trees with it. “Let’s just say I always get my way. That is how a succubus operates.”
“Oh this is amazing,” I said with a smile wider than the Doctor after seeing himself in a previous incarnation as I circled her a few times. “I didn’t think this world would have demons like you here. Then again, there is a version of Hell here that houses Tirek, of all beings. So I guess it’s not too much of a stretch to assume there aren’t other demons here too.”
“Now then, I believe it’s time for you to sit back and let me do my thing...or should I say, your thing.”
“See I would, but two problems. One, I’m a little preoccupied with my current companions waiting for me, and two, I’d die which, while an epic way to go, is not something I’m ready for. I’m sorry but, I gotta say no.” I lost my smile when she started laughing again. 
“You wanna play like that? Fine. Just so you know, this is far from over.” With that she flew off into the night sky, leaving me to calm my racing heart. I pushed the many questions to the back of my mind as I ran to the bridge where the mane six were waiting for me.





I made it there just as Rainbow Dash flew back from fixing the bridge. After a brief interrogation from Twilight, we were making our way across the bridge toward the ruins.
Though I could feel...something… as we got closer to the ruins of the old castle. It made my burns pulse with pain the closer we got. It wasn’t until we stepped up to the altar with elements that the pulsing pain finally subsided. 
“Come on, Twilight,” Applejack said. “Isn’t this what you’ve been waitin’ for?”
“The Elements of Harmony,” Twilight gasped. “We found them!” Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew up and picked up each stone ball, setting them in front of Twilight. “Careful...careful…”
Pinkie counted them out, “There’s only five.”
“Where’s the sixth?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“The book said that when the five are present, a spark will cause the sixth element to be revealed.”
“What in the hay is that supposed to mean?” Applejack asked, frowning.
“Probably exactly what it says,” I replied. “The question you should be asking is what the spark is supposed to be.”
“I’m not sure,” Twilight answered, “but I have an idea. Stand back. I don’t know what will happen.” Her horn lit up as I sat down against the altar. The pain was coming back and it was not letting up this time. 
“Come on now, y’all,” Applejack requested. “She needs to concentrate.” The five of them walked out, leaving me with Twilight and the stoned Elements of Harmony. I held in a groan as the pain worsened. Blue smoke wisped in and started swirling around the Elements, bringing my pain to even greater heights. I screamed, breaking Twilight’s concentration and causing her to notice the smoke swirling the elements in front of her. She screamed just as loud as me.
“The Elements!” She jumped into the tornado, warping out of the room, and the Elements with her, just as the others ran in. Various iterations of ‘where did she go?’ sounded from the five leftover mares as my pain started to fade again.
“Twilight,” Applejack called, “where are you?”
“Look,” Rarity pointed out the window at the nearby tower that had glowing windows.
“That’s where she is,” I gasped out. “Go get her.”
“But what about you?” Fluttershy asked.
“I’ll catch up, just go!” I snapped. “She needs you now more than I do. Now go!”
Applejack nodded. “Come on!” The five of them ran off to the tower as I began to stand up, gritting my teeth through every motion. 
I walked slowly in the same direction they did, leaning against the wall for support.
I could let them do this by themselves, I thought, since I remember how it ends. But at the same time, I can’t help but worry. I need to be there for them.





Twilight landed on the floor with a cough. Shaking her head, she got her bearings, only to see Nightmare Moon, surrounded by the Elements. She gasped before frowning in determination. Taking her stance, she readied herself to charge.
“You’re kidding,” Nightmare Moon deadpanned. “You’re kidding, right?” Her question was answered when Twilight began charging, lighting up her horn with magic.





Why do I care so much about them? They don’t even know me very well.





Nightmare Moon charged toward Twilight, intent on stopping her in her tracks. Twilight’s horn lit up brighter as they got closer.





I’ve done nothing for them except be dead weight. I have no real reason to be here. So why? Why am I pushing myself for them?





When they were about to meet in the middle, Twilight disappeared in a flash of purple. Nightmare Moon looked around in confusion before hearing a pop behind her. Twilight was now sitting in the middle of the Elements. 





What have I done other than elicit pity from them because of my burns? Throughout this adventure, I’ve done nothing but give little comments about the obstacles that were placed before us. As far as I know, this should still be a kids’ show that I shouldn’t be a part of.





“Just one little spark,” Twilight muttered. “Come on, come on.” The Elements lit up with her aura while she concentrated. Nightmare Moon seized her opportunity and wisped to the young unicorn’s position. A small blast of lightning threw Twilight back a few feet, landing her on her back. The Elements around Nightmare Moon’s hooves began sparking as she sat up, causing her to smirk.





What am I doing?
How do you live your life?
The way a decent person should, like my mother and community taught me.





They suddenly stopped sparking, and fell back to the ground. Twilight gasped.
“But where’s the sixth Element?” she asked in a panic.
Nightmare Moon laughed and reared back, smashing the elements to pieces. Twilight gaped in shock.
“You little foal!” Nightmare Moon exclaimed. “Thinking you could defeat me! Now you will never see your princess. Or your sun. The night will last FOREVER!” She began cackling again.





Why do you believe what you do is right?
Because I was taught that if you treat others like yourself, you’re more likely to get better results. 
How do others see your thinking?
They see my thinking as another viewpoint only offered to them if they’re willing to listen. What they do from then on is up to them.





Voices hit Twilight’s ears, causing her to look behind her. She recognized them, as well as the shadows on the wall she was looking at. Her friends had come to help her.
Her eyes widened when she realized what she just thought. Something clicked into place in her mind, and she smiled, turning to face Nightmare Moon again.
“You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that?” she challenged. “Well you’re wrong. Cause the spirits of the Elements of Harmony are right here!” The five mares had stood behind her, glaring at Nightmare Moon.





When do you think you’ve truly succeeded in passing on your ideals to another person?
When they willingly accept what I have told them, and have seen how happy I am living the way I was brought up. Only then am I truly successful in passing on my ideals.
And if they don’t accept it?
Then I tell them the door’s always open if they get curious about it. As long as it doesn’t devolve into an argument, it’s a win.
An Interesting way to look at it. You’ve answered your own questions then.





The shards began glowing around Nightmare Moon’s hooves. “What?” She glanced around in a slight panic.
“Applejack,” Twilight began, “who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of...Honesty!” A small group of orange shards surrounded Applejack with this declaration.
“Fluttershy, who tamed a manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of...Kindness!” Pink shards surrounded the shy pegasus, who looked at them fearfully.
“Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of...Laughter!” Blue shards surrounded the party pony, who jumped in the air in excitement.
“Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of...Generosity!” Rarity looked down modestly as the purple shards surrounded her.
“And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart’s desire, represents the spirit of...Loyalty!” Rainbow Dash glanced at the shards briefly before staring back at Nightmare Moon. “The spirit’s of these five ponies got us through every obstacle you threw at us.”
“But you still don’t have the sixth element!” Nightmare Moon rebuked desperately. “The spark didn’t work!”
“But it did work,” Twilight countered. “A different kind of spark.” She turned to face her friends. “I felt it the moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all,” she turned back to Nightmare Moon. “...are my friends!” A light shone above Twilight, revealing the sixth Element of Harmony as it gently lowered itself above her head. The corrupted alicorn was forced to shield her eyes with one of her wings. Eventually the light died down, letting her look back in anger and fear at the group. “You see, Nightmare Moon,” Twilight continued, “when those elements are ignited by the...the spark...that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element. The Element of…

“MAGIC!” 

The shards came together around neck of their respective ponies, turning into golden necklaces with gems in the shape of their holder’s respective cutie marks. The stone ball above Twilight, however turned into a golden tiara with a six pointed star gem in the middle, resting comfortably on Twilight’s head. Twilight opened her eyes as she completed the spell, shooting a bright beam of every color of the rainbow into the air before it aimed at the villain. 
Nightmare Mon’s eyes widened in terror, then closed in concentration as she charged a spell of her own to counter the beam. What she didn’t count on, however was the feeling of something grabbing her horn and a large weight pressing against her body.
“I don’t think so,” a male voice rang out behind her, breaking her own concentration. She looked behind her, seeing a familiar human glaring back at her. “Get ready to taste the rainbow, motherf**ker!” She looked back as the rainbow beam started to surround her and the human. 
“NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!” Everything went black.





The sound of groaning was heard throughout the ruined hall. The mane six began stirring as they recovered from their exhaustion. 
“Is everypony okay?” Applejack asked tentatively.
“Oh thank goodness!” Rarity exclaimed.
“Why, Rarity,” Fluttershy commented, “it’s so lovely.”
“I know! I’ll never part with it again!” Rarity began hugging her now regrown tail.
“No, your necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark.” 
Rarity stared down at said necklace, realizing her friend was right. She noticed Fluttershy’s. “So does yours.”
Fluttershy gasped happily as she looked at her own necklace.
As everyone noticed their respective elements was shaped like their marks, Applejack spoke up again.
“Gee, Twilight. I thought you were just spoutin’ a lotta hooey. But I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship.”
“Indeed you do,” a new voice spoke up as the sunlight shone through the window. The light soon transformed into Princess Celestia herself, making the conscious ponies bow in respect, except for Twilight.
“Princess Celestia!” She gasped as ran ran to hug her mentor.
“Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it.”
Twilight looked up in confusion. “But you told me it was all an old pony tale.”
“I told you that you needed to make some friends. Nothing more.” The other five stood up as she explained further. “I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon’s return, and I knew it was you that had the magic inside to defeat her. But you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart.” She lost her smile then. “Now if only another will as well. Princess Luna.” 
They all looked over to where Nightmare Moon was obliterated by the Elements, only to find a smaller Alicorn in the middle of the torn pieces of said villain’s armor. She was two different shades of blue, her mane and tail lighter than her body. On her flank was a crescent moon in a splotched dark blue background. The alicorn regained consciousness at the sound of her name, and gasped in fear as Celestia walked toward her.
“It has been a while since I have seen you like this. It’s time we put our differences behind us.” Celestia layed down next to her. “We were meant to rule together, little sister.”
“Sister?” Twilight asked, astonished.
“Will you accept my friendship?”
Everyone looked in anticipation at what her answer would be, leaning almost to the point of falling over. 
Luna looked down in shame before springing up to Celestia with tears in her eyes. “I’m so sorry! I missed you so much big sister!”
Celestia nuzzled her sister, misty eyed. “I’ve missed you too.”
“Hold it right there!” the only male in the room spoke up. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were half lidded. Some of the blisters on his chest had burst, painting his chest red. “I got some unfinished business with the blue alicorn.”
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked. “She’s not Nightmare Moon anymore!”
A wing in front of her had silenced her, bringing her to the reassuring gaze of Celestia. “It’s fine. Just watch, my pupil.” The human stumbled to Luna, who was frozen in fear. Seeing something so tall and bloody shambling toward her had freaked her out more than Celestia’s presence did, but she couldn’t will herself to move away. The human wrapped an arm around her neck and…
…
…
…
...started rubbing his knuckles into her mane. “What are you doing?” she asked, confused. “Stop it.” It started to get rougher as he continued. She began pushing against the ground, but he was too strong in her current state to let up.
“Say it.” 
“Please, stop!”
“Say it.”
“Stop this at once!”
“I’m not stopping till you say it.”
“Please. No more.”
“Say it…”
“Alright, I yield!” the grip around her neck loosened and a light pat on the head prompted her to look at the still half lidded, yet smiling face of the human. 
“We’re good now.” Celestia chuckled lightly at this before he turned to the rest of the group. “Now does anyone know where the medic is? I think I lost too much blo...” He trailed off and began falling again. Celestia caught him in her magic, gently laying him on the ground so he wouldn’t get injured further.
Pinkie Pie spoke up excitedly. “Hey, you know what this calls for?”





I couldn’t see. It was just a black void for miles. Looking down at my feet, I saw a white, fading circle that looked to be my shadow in reverse in comparison to the void. 
“Well, damn,” I muttered to myself. “This wasn’t how I expected to go out. I guess going down while thinking I did something good was an epic way to go.”
“Is that what you think?” a voice spoke up from behind. A light lit up the void, causing me to flinch back so my eyes could adjust. When they had adjusted, I saw someone in a white robe with an equally white belt tied around his waist, holding a sword. In his right hand was a tall, white, ornate staff. His straight hair went just passed his shoulders and was also totally white. His beard, while shorter than his hair, was of the same color. 
“Okay,” I began, “am I just tripping balls in my final moments, or am I looking at Gandalf the White?”
He chuckled. “I’m not him. I’m merely using this form to talk to you.” I sighed. “And you’re not dying either.” I perked up at this. 
“What do you mean?”
“The two alicorns got you to a nearby hospital that was able to give you a transfusion of blood before you died.” I started jumping for joy when I heard this. “But that’s the good news. The bad news…” I froze where I was. “Is that your body had taken too much damage.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“From the moment you entered this world, your body had been sustaining more damage from being unable to adapt to the magically saturated air of Equestria. It’s why your blisters burst after being hit with the Elements of Harmony.”
I stared at not-Gandalf in disbelief. “Then how the hell am I still alive?!”
“Celestia found a spell to make your body more accepting of the environment of Equestria, building its resistance to any harmful magic in the air, while still getting you accustomed to the locals. It was also the only way the transfusion would work.”
I thought for a moment before I realized what he said. “Please tell me she didn’t do what I think she did…”
He nodded grimly. “She did.”
She actually did the one thing that I didn’t want while I was here. She made me go local…
She turned me into a pony…
