Legend States that not but three years ago there lay a cavalcade of were-creatures in the Americas, but the most noble were the tribes of the ones known as Were-tigers. These ferocious felines were divided but not unfounded. The most ferocious were that of the Yellow Tribe once commonplace but they were almost overcome by a strange illness that came on seemingly overnight with the fog leaving very few and they soon went back into hiding, humans report seeing the remnants of this clan in Dallas, Texas.

The Blue Tribe were most confident in their abilities and their confidence was well founded, due to their willingness to blur the lines between the tribes and they value honor and friendship over all else, the proud members of this clan make their dens in Detroit. Michigan.

The Fleetfooted Black Tribe prized speed over power incorperating the teachings of the Cheetah and Jaguar into their repetoire. But their numbers were indeed a rare breed not only in Therianthropy but in nature as well. Unlike their brethren they are compact and and their rare genetic mutation allows them to remain undetected by any species that wishes them harm, their home is suspected to be Mesa, Arizona.

The White clan was the most honorable, out of all the tribes the were the most connected to their ancestors, and thus they were given a gift. A higher understanding of the world around them. Given the power to call upon the will of the world, and their own spiritual energy, they are well versed in the healing arts. But their gifts could not protect them from their predators. The Were-Wolves had feigned friendship with the newest generations, and one in particular was naive enough to fully trust the canines.

Tora Peacefang had always had a rather different outlook on life, his heart was open and his mind was weak. He was born in the time of migration, from Asia to the Americas, and his childish approach led the elders to a peace treaty with the Were-Wolves. All was well for the next fifteen years. Tora had grown into a fine warrior along with a Pup he had befriended five years prior. They shared information, about their customs, their heirarchy, everything.

The Were-Wolves saw their opportunity to move and proceeded with mass genocide, very few survived the attack, but the injuries the sustained either killed them over time or mutated them in unspeakable ways. The three years had passed in what seemed to Peacefang like thirty. He is the last surviving fullbreed, and is on his last legs.


Finally through all the shit I've been through, all the running, all the bloodshed, I'm looking at my way out, a pile of rocks. This so called Stonehenge a place where all elements commune is the strongest pool of mana, in Britain. Morgan said that in order to activate the relics. I must channel the elements and swim through the mana pool into a new life. Morgan and her riddles, next time I see her I gotta get her autograph. The tourists and local authorities might get the wrong idea if I deface this sacred monument, better wait out the storm. I leaned on a nearby tree and looked back on what transpired these past three years.

My mind flashed back to New York. I had been hunted, the last of the fullbreeds. My head would make a fine mantle piece, for the Wolf Queen. I shuddered at the sheer amount of times that almost happened, I'm pretty sure I've used up eight of my nine lives, and I don't want to lose this one any time soon. As the sun set the groups disapated and I was left alone. It was time to make my move, but I felt watched, something's here. No that's probably just me being paranoid. As I walked into the center and begin to meditate. "As the winds blow to the east, the fire warms your glorious feast, set your soul in the Earthen ring, and let the lovely water sing, as it's song fills your ear, begin again now starts your new year."

"Here Kitty, Kitty." No no no, not now I was so close. "There's a bad moon on the rise," Stay calm. "Playing cat and mouse for three years tends to get on a dog's nerves." Don't blow it.

"How did you find me?"

"Morgan is quite talkative, when her neck is under the guillotine."

"She just wanted to help me."

"I'll never understand what witches see in cats."

"Nine lives mothafucka."

"And you only got one left."

"That's all I need."

"Don't think I'm all bark and no bite, remember tonight's the full moon." Dammit he's right if this doesn't work it's game over. The moon came up over the horizon and the tall man's teeth sharpened as did his fingernails. His jaw and nose stretched into a dark muzzle. His bones snapped out of place and his skin became furred. "Kitty Kitty wanna play?" His voice grew dark and daunting. "How about some fetch?" He disappeared and grabbed my arm. In a split second I was thrown into the air.

"Son of a Bitch!"

"Don't bring my mother into this!" He laughed.

"Damn, he's gotten faster."

"Stronger too," He came from behind and slammed his fist into my face and my skull into the ground. "White tiger huh, more like rag-doll."

"TERRA MATRE PLACERE MIHI DET LAUS TUA ET VESTRA POTENTIAM, UT POSSIT RID MIHI AETRENA ESSE AB HAC VITA TIMORIS ET AUPERESSENDUM FAC ANIMA MEA PEREGRINATIONE AD TERRAM ET GENUS ANIMARUM!" The stones glowed as the loud female voice echoed throughout the countryside. "i HAVE HEARD YOUR CALL."

"You didn't,"

"I'd laugh but I'd hack up a hairball."

"Madam Alpha will have my head,"

"Not if I take it with me!"

In a flash of light I was out like one.


A white Allicorn finds something in her bed she didn't put there the night before. She could see the creature was in pain so she let it be. She saw that it was barely alive. Maybe she could find out what it was and how it got there using some psychological magic. Her horn sparked to life and her mind was flooded with pain and sadness unlike any other. She reluctantly delved deeper into his subconscious and his pain became her own she held back the tears as best she could, the terrible images of slaughtered creatures, and screams snapped her back to reality and threw her on her ass. The creature's eyes opened and it sprang up and over her. "Who are you, why am I here?" He shouted.

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

"Are you a horse woman?"

"Yes I think."

"It worked,"

"What worked?"

"I bridged the gap, I got through, I'm safe." Tora removed his hood and let out a sigh of relief.

"Who are you?"

"Tora Peacefang."

"Is that a wolf name?"

"No, cat name."

"How did you get here?"

"Don't know, I asked for a life in a land peace and Harmony, and here I am."

"Harmony,"

"Yeah," The Allicorn looked out the window to the setting moon and her rising sun. She thought maybe this creature could help her. Maybe he's just what she needs to help keep her kingdom alive.


Across the world, an angry dog howls as he returns human. "That Pussy ass mother fucker, I'll kill him."

"What do we have here?" Another man stood next to a tall woman. "A Were-Wolf," The man held out his hand to the Wolfman.

"What are you?"

"That is none of your concern, all you need to know is that we can help you, and you can help us." The man's dark tone and hunter green eyes, instilled fear and respect into the Canine.

A Dog Eat Dog World.

"At least someone is trying to be civil," I sighed as I sat back down on the bed.

"What do you mean?" The Horse woman's elegant voice soothed my savage soul, for a few moments I felt safe. Her beautiful voice matched an exquisite body, she sported the ever sought hourglass figure. Her dress hilighted her curves in just the right places, almost like a O_O Night gown! "Yes I am," Mind reading technique damn, must not imagine. "And that is." This reminds me of the time I ate that chicken leg in front of that phoenix. "My that would be awkward."

"Cut that out!"

"My apologies, I forgot to sever the link."

"Thank you,"

"I now feel the need to ask, how did you get in my bed,"


"I don't remember,"

"While I don't mind the company, I still reserve the right to refuse, I don't know where you've been, and due to
the sheer depravity of happiness, I'm not sure I want to."

"You can't tell me you never felt like that."


"I can't because I feel that way now, there can never be peace, do you know why?"


"There can never be peace, do you know why?" Across the world the Woman asked the Wolfman.

"Without War, none would know the meaning of peace."

"Very good," The man praised. "Here's a treat." The man threw a dog biscuit. "Now, let's start with a name."

"Kuro,"

"Japanese for black, dark and devious, like you."

"Who are you to judge?"

"Am I wrong?"


"Without conflict there would be no definition of peace." I replied.

"Very astute." The horse woman leaned on the window sill. "Now let's start with a name."

"Tora,"

"Celestia,"

"Beautiful name for a beautiful lady."

"Thank you for the compliment prostitute."

"Prostitute?"

"Think about it, you woke up in someone else's bed, you're being paid in information, and don't think for a second that you don't find me the least bit attractive." Shit, think, nope, nope. You Whore! Oh come on.

"You win,"

"What's the prize?" It's a trap! "No more semantics, you were brought here for a reason, I think you're here to help my sister."

"Well where is she?"

"On the other side,"

"Of what?"

"The world,"

"Oh I thought you'd say she was on the moon or something stupid like that."

"She is."

"Something stupid?"

"On the moon." Damn. "Until tomorrow," Thank you. "Then you'd have to fight her." Damn Again. "But you won't be alone." I could go either way on that one. "It's only a matter of time before Twilight figures it all out." Twilight, who's that? "My student."

"You never severed the link did you?"

"So sue me."


The Man sat on an ornate chair the woman on the arm of the chair. "So Kuro how did you get here?"

"A spell cast by someone I want to kill."

After exchanging glances and smiles the two replied to Kuro's answer. "That can be arranged, tell us everything."


"What would you have me do to help?" I asked as she walked into another room to change.

"Just protection detail, nothing to strenuous,"

"Sounds boring."

"It may sound boring but you'll be paid greatly."

"Well," What am I a Dog, I don't need pay.

"So you'll do it for free?"

"Quit it!"

"I have a right to read any book that finds itself on my self." Damn, where have you been all my life? "Mostly here, in the castle."
"Castle?"

"I'm the Princess, of Equestria."

"So this whole land is full of horse people."

"No, there are more than just horses." Okay this is someone else entirely. I turn my head to the other voice and all I find is a bird. "What are you looking at cat!"

"Whoa talking bird, talking bird."
"O RLY, I hadn't noticed." The bird puffed up and it's blue feathers turned red. "Oh that's just great, I'm getting old."

"Oh it's just a Phoenix,"

"I've seen you've met my pet, Philomena," The phoenix flew over and lasnded on my shoulder.

"Don't think for a minute I'm hers, she can't hear me unless I want her to." She whispered in my ear. A flash of green fire shot up from the fireplace as a letter flew out. "Looks like teacher's pet has another question."

"Nightmare Moon's return." After rolling the paper up her horn glowed yellow as did a quill and another piece of parchment.
"My Dearest Most faithful Student Twilight," After that she started mouthing words I had trouble reading. She rolled it up when she was finished and tossed it into the fireplace. "There I've sent her instructions, she'll be arriving in Ponyville this afternoon."

"You just threw it in the fireplace."

"It's how I send letters to my student."

"She has a messenger dragon?"

"Yes she does."

"When you arrive, look for a Pinkie Pie, she's famous for knowing more than she should."

"That sounds familiar."

"Oh can it Kitty, get going!" Philomena slapped me in the back of my head.

"Fine, you don't have to be so rude."

"Go with him Philomena, he'll need someone familiar with the territory." Philomena shook her head so fast I'm surprised she didn't get whiplash. "I know you don't like him, please?"

"Okay,"

"Good, now go, I'll be there tomorrow morning."


"So this Tora, found a way to bridge the gap," The man asked.

"I know you've told me this before, but what gap?" The woman asked.

"Think of the world as a canyon, two sides with a big hole through the middle, once divided by shallows easily traversed, over time the river cuts through the land increasing the distance between. Or that is what science would lead you to believe."

"What do you believe?" Kuro asked the man.

"This Tora child wished to be taken to a land of harmony, there is no lack of that here, but Harmony is nowhere near peace. we may be able to use that to our advantage. Lucky for you every night here is graced with the full moon, and soon the moon will walk among us." The man tapped his fingers together and laughed.

The man finally emerged from the shadows, to the wolfman's eyes he appeared human. "Now tell me your real name." He stood roughly six feet tall, medium build, shoulder length blonde hair. The woman was wrapped around his arm, tall lean and well toned with waist length hunter green hair to match her eyes.

"It is customary to introduce yourself, when asking others the same."

"My apologies, you may call me Man Who Wears Mask," He held pride like that was his real name. "My friends call me Marcus."

"Drake Cutlass," A slight German accent permeated his lips.

"Now what would you need to take this Tora boy out of the picture?"

"Are there any packs here?"

"Wolves no, but as a gesture of good will, I can give you a pack off shape shifting soldiers."

"But those are my soldiers." The woman whined.

"Petty women cry, pretty women go shopping."

"Oscar Wilde." Drake furrowed his brow and replied.


Back at the castle...

Celestia led me through the vast halls of her castle. "You have a large castle, so empty though."

"Seems that you are in need of a home."

"Get out of my head."

"I am just assuming, you carry yourself like a nomad, always ready to leave."

"You can give me a home?"

"I do rule Equestria."

"Her ego is as big as her butt." Philomena whispered as she landed on my shoulder.

"But it's nice."

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"What exactly are you."

"Human,"

"Humans have been lost for years."

Morgan if you gave me a time travel spell. "Oh Shit Morgan, she's dead because of me." I had completely forgotten. "Damn dogs, she just wanted to help." Tears began to fall from my eyes. I didn't know her all that well but I don't want any more blood on my hands.

"Morgan, that name sounds familiar, Morgan le Fey, french sorceress."

"Yeah that's her."

"Starswirl mentioned her frequently, have you ever heard the legends of cats having nine lives. It is said that you must kill a witch nine times for them to truly die." Her tone took a somewhat comforting sound.

"So there's a chance she's still alive?" Thank whoever's up there.

"Very much so, now I must warn you, my sister is not of right mind but her magic is still bar none powerful." She led me into a large room much like a stadium, bleachers lined the walls and weapons were hung neatly on a back wall under a tournament scoreboard. "This is the Training Grounds, I only accept the best of the best at the academy. I can still hold my own against any opponent but why leave families hungry and in the streets when I can give money and confidence to them through the Guard Academy."

"Why are there so many seats?"

"Sometimes I hold Charity Tournaments bets are placed giving citizens some extra bits in their pockets and purses and a large pot awaits for the winner to give to a charity of their choice. Raises morale and just between you and me I love a good scrap."

"Any special reason you showed this place to me?"

"I wish to know your limits, I have arranged a small test, you will be facing three of the strongest guards, in my employ."

"Is that a challenge?"

"No It's a tea party invitation."

"Any rules?"

"No killing, or fatal injuries, they have families to go back to."

"I see your point."

"You must keep honor and fight fair."

"Easy,"

"And no Armor."

"What," That last one was a little unnerving.

"No cloak either,"

"But,"

"How would we know if you are cheating if you are hidden. besides my Sister's magic will render any armor enchanted or not totally useless."

"What about this" I go for my mothers necklace.

"What does it do" she seems rather interested in it's design.

"It has a small image editing magic stored in side"

"I see no reason why you can't where it" at least they won't be able to see my scarred past all over my body.

"I accept your terms," Reluctantly I aggreed, the no death blow rule might be a challenge but what can I say I like a challenge.

"You have one hour to prepare, use your time wisely."


"Gaah." Marcus cringed as he grabbed his head. His left hand fell over his eye. "Not now,"

"What is the meaning of this?" Drake asked a little shocked at Marcus' sudden fit of pain.

"I haven't been in one body for this long," He staggered before falling to his knees.

"One body? You have multiple?"

"There is no time," Marcus' flesh began to rip itself apart. The shadows concealed him for only a second but when they dispersed a different creature stood is his stead holding the skin in it's claws. It stood roughly six and a half feet tall, with sage green hair. "Such a waste of a pretty face." It's voice was eerily similar to Marcus'. "However your species does look quite good on me."

"And what Species would that be?" Drake asked point blank.

"Changeling." The woman replied.

"The Switch at birth demon?"

"Well terms like Demon are a vicious stereotype, we don't harm the abductees, they are treated with the utmost care."


An hour had passed and I proudly strutted into the arena shirtless. The three Guards stood by the weapon rack talking and laughing with each other. Two were clad in run of the mill light armor, the third was clad in an ornate armor that parted around what I assumed was his horn. I turned my head to find Celestia in the stands with another like her who's face was a darker red than her coat. And a Unicorn who seemed just plain disgusted of me. The guard I assumed was higher ranked focused on me with a curious look. "So this is the recruit, you seem strange, but who can judge a warrior by the color of his skin, when obscured by fur." He's actually being nice to me. "Shall we begin?"

"Not yet." Celestia landed in the center of the arena. "Any reason why you have opted to fight without clothing?"

"Tradition,"

"And weaponless?" The other Woma..re landed next to her and asked, her face still a darker shade of red than her coat.

"I think I can answer that," The Unicorn guard spoke up as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "A warrior is never without his weapon, any opponent you can't outmuscle you can outsmart. Besides his way of standing, he excels in hand to hand combat,"

"You can tell that by looking at how he stands?" The pink one's face had turned to the right color finally.

"I'm impressed," I honestly reply. This guy knows his stuff but can he use that in the ring.

"Princess Celestia I must ask that any more questions be answered after pencils down, and Cadence this might take a while," The two left and flew back to the stands. "As per instructions you shall be tested on speed, strength, and ability to keeep eyes on multiple opponents."

"Multiple opponents?"

"Yes, this is a test on both your and our parts, while I wish to help my sister personally I have been ordered to stay behind and test you."

"So whoever wins gets to go?"

"Yes,"

"So what are we waiting for?"

"Morning Star, Morning Glory!"

"Yes Captain," The two saluted.

"Assume Alpha Formation."

"Affirmative."


Fists are about to fly...........Go Wild!
Tora VS Team Armor


(Tora VS Team Armor Theme)

"Tell me how the dirt tastes, Eden's Embrace!" The ground beneath my feet became loose as Morning Star, and Glory charged. Glory took her spear and pole vaulted over me leaving her spear straight up out of the ground. Next two hands wrapped around it and Morning Star swung around delivering a very muscled knee to my neck. My body was unphased but Motherffffffffffffffffffffffffffff. It took all my strength not to scream to high heaven.

"Fall back!" The Captain shouted. "Lambda Formation!" They fell back into a different formation. Morning Star took point.

"He should've felt that!" Morning star growled.

"He did, he's trying to bluff us." Goddammit he's right.

"His poker face is perfect." Glory huffed. "He didn't even try to counter he just stood there." I could see her look of realization from this distance. "Exactly.... in... that.. spot."

"His legs!" That Unicorn in the stands shouted.

"They end at the floor." Morning Star questioned.

"You are no ordinary human," The Captain shook his head and smiled.

"He's a monster, unfit to enter the ring, unfit to waste our time." Ignore the total dick and get through the fight without getting out of control. I lunged into the air while grabbing the spear.

"Round two." After a bit of twirling I swung it around to my side. I charged this time one foot before the other. Morning Star swung downward as I raised the Spear to block. "Look at the craftsmanship on these things." He threw his shield into my gut and Glory Roundhoused me sending me to the ground. "In the Air my trust is true, Shu grant me strength anew."The wind picked up letting me know that my call had been answered. "Where are you looking?,Eden's Grasp!" I dug my fingers into the ground as a hand grabbed Morning Star's ankle. The ground beneath his hooves split open, swallowed him up to his neck.

"He's an Elemental, Soulless beast!" The Dick once again shouted, as I regained my footing. "Worthless Construct," I leaned down and removed Morning Star's helmet.

"Look who's talking!" I fastballed the thing at his face, knocking him over the bleachers and out cold. "Not you cuz yer unconscious!" I turned my head back to the battlefield, where Glory was digging out Morning Star.

"Morning Glory, get your brother and leave the arena." Brother?

"But Sir."

"That's an order lieutenant."

"Affirmative." She took Morning Star and walked out.

"Now it's one on one." The Captain drew his sword but stabbed it into the ground. "It wouldn't be fair if I used a weapon against a seemingly unarmed opponent."

"So Fist to fist?"

"And Magic to Magic." His horn lit up and his entire body was covered in a thick Pink aura. He bolted forward but in a flash a fist flew through my stomach. The attack came out of nowhere and had some kick to it. I dropped to one knee and pebbles moved along the ground and gathered around me. "Nice to see the effort." He went through me? "Do you yield?"

"Never!" The Pebbles stuck to my hand and went up my arm. "Eden's Tears!" I threw my arm back and the rocks flew at him but were stopped mid flight.

"Shining Starlight!" He lept into the air and encased himself in a ball of that same pink aura "SilverWind!" The ball began spinning and gaining size. It began to break apart and send out blades in my direction. This is it!

"Eden's Avalanche!" The earth under the ball molded itself into a bowl and shut around it. Seconds later it shattered and he stood in the rubble unscathed.

"I yield, You are indeed a warrior worthy. But that doesn't mean you're better than Me."

"Did, did I, win?"

"I said the words I Yield didn't I?"

"But there's not a single scratch on you."

"True but my loyalties lie here, I can trust you with my sister's life."

"Really?"

"Of course and the naming your attacks, kinda stupid."

"I thought it would be fun, and you did it too."

"You're right it is fun." He chuckled and looked over to the Unicorn that just climbed back onto the stands. "Hey Blueblood, nice catch!"

"Shut up you pompous windbag." He kept a tone of just plain asshole.

"You want to try mine on for size!?" The Captain shouted as he threw his helmet harder than I did, actually sending the Dick flying across the room. "Show respect to your superiors, and your family."

"You're related to that guy?"

"Not yet, I'm dating his cousin." He waved to the pink one he called Cadence, who like Celestia was trying not to laugh. "We could use you in the guard, even though you clearly lied about your species." He whispered with a somewhat demonic smile.

"You know?"

"You practically spelled it out, I don't know what you are but it's not what you say you are."

"How long do I have before I need to leave?"

"I'd say about an hour or so."

"Great, good night." The damage and drain finally hit me, I fell to my knees with one thought going through my head,Well this is weird but all of my abilities have been amplified....I hope i can control this new strength.Then the bitter sweet embrace of sleep hit me....HARD!


He has gotten stronger, but is he strong enough?

No, He'll never be powerful until he has passion.

In time he will become more powerful than any other before him.

Hey let's draw a mustache on him while he's asleep!

The garden is vast, but the flowers have wilted, where have our children gone?

The flowers have wilted under the cold, not just to pounce on unsuspecting, as of old.

Tora opened his eyes but found himself in a place he didn't expect, home. Had it all been a dream, had his escape been naught bot a delusion? No, he thought to himself this was the dream. His mind for years had been clouded but that's common in all tragic cases, but now it seemed so vivid. He heard howling in the distance, as he looked to the full moon. It was the only light in the dense forest, but he could clearly see. The thick branches reached out from the trees as if they were begging him closer. He heard the crunching of leaves under feet, coming closer. Something brushed by his leg and tripped over a root. The small boy turned over and stared up at the hulking beast. "No, no don't hurt me." Tora was confused, who was this boy and why did he seem so familiar? "Please just tell me what you want," The boy was scared out of his mind.

"I don't want to hurt you." Tora tried to calm the boy but it was to no avail.

"Leave him alone!" Another boy growled, as his body gained muscle and black fur.

"Drake!" The boy seemed relieved.

"Drake," Tora sighed. "My friend, my brother," Drake lunged and swiped at Tora, tearing at his skin. "When did it go so wrong?" He once again heard howling in the distance. The two boys ran and left Tora to his own devices.

"Whom thou had been, hates who thou hast become." A female voice echoed throughout the dead forest. "Or who thou art hates who thou hast been." The voice had a tone of mockery. "Thou art indeed strong, but thou hast lost the will to show it,"

"Show yourself!"

"Look above foolish one." Tora looked up and found a strange silhouette on the moon. The silhouette of a Unicorn. "Thou's Nightmare hast only begun."


"If I'm correct the legend states that on the longest day, of the thousandth year the stars shall aid in her escape, and she shall bring night time eternal." Marcus stood on a plataeu overlooking the rising sun. "I don't think she would mind if the process was hastened."

"Who is she?" Drake asked.

"The Nightmare Moon," The woman replied.

"Black God, I beseech you, grant me the power to shape the world as I see fit."

"Man Who Wears Mask, your wish to better this world falls upon the ears of the mighty. You have my hand to aid your quest." A loud voice echoed throughout the desert.

"Perfect." A blade ripped forward from his forehead. and a pair of wings grew from his shoulders. "Orion, train your sights on the moon!" The hunter constellation changed his position and drew his bow taught. "Elquus Gallop toward your mother!" The Foal Constellation began to run toward the moon. "Pegasus fly to the mare of your dreams!" It whinneyed as it bagen charging. "Ursa Major Help end her hibernation!" The Bear roared and slowly made it's way to the Moon. Marcus' voice had changed, it was considerably darker, and his bladed horn took on a dark red aura. "Guide the soul trapped there to me,"

"What are you?" Drake was astonished at the sheer power that this creature possessed.

"The Man who listens to god."

"And she?" Drake pointed at the woman.

"She is just nice to look at."


Tora's fist flew through the wall of the closed carriage as his eyes snapped open. And for some strange reason he checked in the window reflection for a mustache. There wasn't one to his relief. "My Lunch!" He was too groggy to apologize.


"Good afternoon, Concubine." Celestia said with a giggle. "I let you sleep two hours and then had you loaded on the chariot."

"Thanks for the ride,"

"There has been a change in plans."

"How so?" I asked slightly worried.

"Originally the spell would have kept her on the moon until the end of the longest day of the year. But something or someone has sped up the process, causing her to be released early."

"How early, and what spell?"

"It was the only way to keep her from turning the world into chaos, and if the world was plunged into chaos, he would return, and if he returned I would be powerless to defeat them both."

"Okay I get it, the buildings will fall like dominoes."

"Literally, though I do admit that one time was fun."

"That one time?" At band camp.

"Oh just old memories, no need to delve deep into them,"

"I've been meaning to ask, How old are you?"

"Never ask a lady her age, besides I lost count at two thousand."

"Daayuum.... I'm not a prostitute!"

"That's what she said." A guy yelled.

"Do that again if you want to die!"

"It's in my job description." He yelled back.

"That's what she said!" REVENGE...Oh dear god I'm turning into my grandfather.

"Oh Snap that was cold!" Another girl shouted.

"That's what she said!" The two others shouted then all three started laughing.

"I don't know how that happened."

"That's what she said." Celestia said as she folded her newspaper and sipped her coffee. "Now about my sister. Something has happened."

"What do you mean?" Oh sweet god its like a forest fire!

"Something or someone has set the stars in motion ahead of schedule. she'll be arriving before sunrise."

"What could be strong enough to move the stars?"

"I can only move one at a time mainly the sun, but whoever did this has enough power to move entire constellations. This does not bode well for any of us. Without those extra hours the Nightmare will be extremely livid." Entire constellations, how is that even possible, there is noone I know with that power. The last words she said sounded familiar.

"The Nightmare?"

"Do you know how strong emotion is, enough to guide our actions against our better judgement. Or the concept of inception?" I do know of the former but I'm not familiar latter.

"Inception?"

"Inception is the planting of an idea in one's subconscious mind, that idea would nag at them until they couldn't take it anymore and embraced it."

"What are you getting at?"

"The very Idea of Nightmare drove my sister insane. The thousand years, were intended to seperate her consciousness from the Nightmare making it easier to get her back and not the Nightmare Moon." A loud THUNK, hit the roof of the carriage. "No need for alarm it's probably one of our escorts."

"Escorts, I thought you could hold your own."

"I'm not so sure anymore, besides like I said before why not take extra precautions for the sake of my subject's morale."

"Somebody might catch on to your little game of Mamby Pamby Pony Princess."

"Why send a strategist to do a spy's job,"

"Oh specialists I see."

"My Guards have three types. Guardponies, the hoof soldiers, Wonderbolts, the air force, and the Seahorses, our Navy."

"HI Princess!" Oh god! The shout came from an upside down Mare, She crawled in through the window. Long blonde hair... Mane dammit! Golden eyes that seemed to stare into my soul and somewhere off to the left.

"Hello Ditzy, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Not you," She turned to me and poked my chest. "You owe me a date."

"Wait what?"

"You punched my lunch."

"Wait what?!"


Five minutes ago...

A fist flies through the carriage splintering the wood into shards one in particular is large enough to pierce the muffin of an unsuspecting grey Pegasus, and stick it to the wall. "My Lunch!" She shouted and chased the carriage. Angry she lands on top of it and confronts the Muffin Murderer.


0_0 Celestia's face. "You better do it."

O_O My face. "But that's stupid."

T^T Ditzy's face. "The indignity why did such a delicious meal have to end before the appetizer." Holy shit she's serious. "Oh lunch which hath been stolen, alas I knew you only by your menu description."

"Okay we'll have dinner later."

"Promise?"

"Yes, I promise."

"I'll meet you after work." Her demeanor completely changed, and she hugged me. "I get off at five." I couldn't help but look all over her. Eight with an hour glass figure, and the denim short shorts she was wearing hugged her hips. God women in uniform are sexy. "Hey, my eyes are up here casanova." She placed her hand on my chin and pulled my head back up.

"Sorry it's just you're so cute," I'm gonna milk it. Thank you Sirens for teaching me how to think like a woman...

"Gee no one's ever said that before." Her cheeks turned a little red. "They take one look at my eyes and then they laugh." She sighed. "Dumb Jerks."

"They're beautiful,"

"I know you're just trying to make me feel better, and it worked." She crawled out the window but got stuck halfway through. "A little help?"

"Sure." I grabbed something I shouldn't have and pushed her through.

"Thanks, see you after work."

"I can't believe you agreed to that."

"That's what she said!" Ditzy shouted.

"Back to business, once we enter town the first one you meet will most likely be Pinkie Pie. She has strange ways but they have given her insight unparalleled and thus she has a spot as one of my trusted advisors. Anything she sees or hears she remembers, she is the best private detective."

"Anyone else I should look out for?"

"Not really."

"Our ETA is five minutes," One stuck his head by the window and said. "Name's Soarin," He stuck his hand through. "1st Lieutenant, you must be the precious cargo,"

"I'm precious cargo?" I asked shaking it.

"Yeah the Princess' consort is pretty important."

"This is strictly business."

"Of course, how much?"

"What?

"How much are you getting payed?"

"Oh," Celestia hit her head. "I forgot about payment."

"Okay well Colonel Spitfire told us to splinter off check for any hostiles she'll stay eagle eye on the transport."

"Thank you, give my regards to the academy recruits."

"Of course." He backed out and flew off.

"Now your payment will come in three parts, a home, money, and a third item of your choosing. After that we will discuss your job as the royal consort."

"We're here, coast is clear proceeding to the drop-off point ."

Friends, Who Needs Them?

The Carriage came to a halt and the door was opened by an orange Pegasus who was dressed head to hoof in a blue flight suit, and a dark blue flak jacket. "We're on a tight schedule, and the cadets are due back for flight practice this afternoon," Celestia took this as a hint to hurry and got out, I followed. "Rick, Shaw, Day's over you're clear to depart whenever you see fit."

"Yes Ma'am Colonal Spitfire Sir!" The two pulled the carriage off and stopped in an alley. "We're gonna grab some lunch, then head off." She looked at her watch.

"I'll join you." She turned to me and lowered her sunglasses. "Just remember I outrank Shining Armour. I'm Better,Faster,Harder, and Stronger so don't Buck with me." She growled under her breath. "I know where every one of your vital points are, and I can hit them all in four seconds flat." She poked me in the chest. "You are a civiian don't forget that Tiger." It's like the soldiers know more than who they're hired to protect. She turned and walked off to join Rick and Shaw.

"Good afternoon Princess." A beige mare with grey hair, Dammit I was on a roll, walked up.

"Tora this is Grei Mare the mayor of Ponyville, Grei Mare this is my bodyguard."

"It's a pleasure to meet you but what are you?"

"He's a Human, maybe the last one left." Celestia answered for me, though that was kind of cold.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that," The Mayor placed a hand on my shoulder and actually gave a shit. "I don't know what I'd do If I didn't have a family to go back to." She led us inside and into her office. "Your Student Twilight Sparkle came by earlier, and I must say she's blissfully ignorant."

"How so?"

"She walked right by three of the Ponies in charge just to get to Sweet Apple Acres."

"She's Dedicated, something I prize her for."

"Now how about I get you a tour guide, while The Princess and I go through final preparations." The Mayor sat down at her desk which was very organized. "I could find everything before she came in here."

"Hi there!" Something swung down and stopped in front of my face. Instinct caught it. "Hmf, get yur han uff m face." It was another girl, pink with darker mane. I took my hand off of her mouth. "I'm Pinkie Pie I know everypony in Ponyville, Trottingham and half of Canterlot. But you're not a Pony not even from here. Your name is Tora Japanese for Tiger that's why you told her that was a cat name." As she went on and on about what she thought of me I couldn't believe she hit everything right on the head.

"That's enough Pinkie, we wouldn't want him to feel uncomfortable." Celestia interrupted the avalanche of answers to questions nobody asked. C-c-c-combo breaker.

"But he already is, look at all these knots," She disappeared behind me and my cape flew over my face. "You've been through a lot and you'd prefer not to talk about it. I hate to see anyone sad." She kneaded her hands between my shoulders. "You need a friend, Wanna be mine?"

"No." I flipped around and pull it back down. "I don't need any friends, once I finish this job I'm going to live a nice life alone."

"Oh I see, how about some lunch?" Her deep blue eyes sparkled like a lake on a clear day.

"Oh I guess." Damn why here? Why did I have to be sent to a place full of smoking hot babes. Ancestors you did this on purpose!

"I'll take what I can get. Is that a mustache?" She giggled and handed me a silver platter. "Classic," She held up a bottle.
"Disappearing" She twisted it and it turned invisible. "Reappearing Ink." She turned it again and it was back. "C'mon let's go." She tugged me out the door and through the streets. "So you're a bodyguard, any experience guarding a female body before?"

"What, of course," Well that came out of left field.

"Coming outta left field!" that was all the warning I got before I was thrown onto the ground by another girl. "I got it, you're out Scootaloo!"

"Aw man!"

"Hey Dashie,"

"Oh I thought I landed on you Pinkie Pie." Whoever she was she started bouncing on me. "What is this a rock?"

"That's Tora my new Friend Guard."

"Hehe sorry guy, that Scootaloo's got weak wings but her arms, that's another story." She flittered off of me and offered her hand. "Name's Rainbow Dash, I gotta get back to the game. Pinkie we still on for the party at the library?" Her mane was a full rainbow of color like her name. her fur was bright blue, and she wore tight hip-hugger bell bottoms and a white tank top.

"Yeah see you there."

"Sweet, lookin' forward to it." She threw the ball back to the kids, before darting off.

"Aren't libraries supposed to be quiet?"

"What kind of welcome party would it be if it were quiet I mean Booorrriiiing. Don't worry it's not for you I'm already planning something for tomorrow, I met this girl I didn't know and like I said before I know everyPony in Ponyville, Trottingham, and parts of Canterlot. And If I don't know her that means she's new and if she's new she doesn't have any friends, and if she doesn't have any friends she must be lonely. So I did some digging and found out she's living at the Library apartment, and I thought I'd have a bunch of ponies just waltz right in and wait for her with candies, cakes and pies." We came across a yellow Pegasus in a green sweater and a skirt the same color as her fur. Her mane was pale pink. She took one look at me and she hid in a bush. Finally a reaction I'm used to!

"Oh My."

"Wait here." Pinkie said before flopping on the ground and crawling to the bush. "It's okay he won't hurt you."

"B-b-but he's tall and and those eyes, and he's all covered up, there's no telling what he is."

"Big Macintosh is taller than he is, Stronger too,"

"But Macintosh doesn't have, those." It didn't take much to know she meant my feet.

"So what if he's got feet. lotsa animals you know got them,"

"What is he?" She crawled out of the bush and dusted herself off.

"He's um I wanna say a human, but there's something else thrown in there, just to mess with us." I got freakin batmare here. "I got it, he's a pussy!!!!" The frivolous attempt at an insult actually worked.

"Hey!"

"Hay is for horses, boy and you ain't."

"You win." Never challenge a genius to a battle of wits.

"What's the prize?" Pinkie asked. God damn what is wrong with them?

"I'm Fluttershy, what's your name?" The yellow one asked barely audible.

"Tora,"

"T-t-t-tiger?"

"Uh yeah is that a problem?"

"No not really, it's just never mind, we still need to rehearse."

"See you at the library?"

"Yeah, I guess." I couldn't help but think something important was on her mind, of course I shook it off, it couldn't possibly
concern me could it?

"Okie Dokie Loki, that's two down two to go."

"Two to go?"

"Well maybe three, not sure if he'll be there, I hope he is."

"Who?"

"Let's just say he's got rock hard abs and steel wits."

"?"

"Exactly." She threw her arm around my shoulder. "Wait a second." A purple Unicorn and a dragon boy ran out of a building that looked like a carousel. "There they are right on time, Spike and Twilight, running away from Rarity probably thinks she'll dye her coat a different color."

"You can do that?"

"Well duh, you can dye your hair fur is hair, just an herbal bath away."

"Uh huh."

"Or you can get sprayed, c'mon she'll like you, or maybe your coat, jacket, cape, whatever it is." Before I could say no she
picked me up and threw me over her shoulder.

"What the Hell!"

"Didn't think I was that strong did you?"

"No... maybe."

"Pinkie is Strongest there is!" Don't get on her bad side. she'd kill me. Just like Grandma. "Heeeyeayeeah Rarity! Wanna meet my new friend?"

"We're not Friends dammit!"

"Well that was strange, now may I ask your name, and where you got that fabulous enchanted armor-cloak?" The white mare asked as she adjusted her dress, which hugged her body perfectly, and stared at me with compassionate blue eyes.

"Tora and my mother made it, how did you know it's enchanted?"

"Well you can clearly see it is spider silk, infused with a tid bit of gold to give it some added stability Iron to negate minor magics plus it radiates a barrier that repels medium level spells." Wow, just wow. "I would like to meet her she has quite the handiwork."

"She passed a long time ago."

"Oh I'm terribly sorry, I would have never brought it up if I had known." Her eyes stayed the same and she apologized.

"You actually mean that?" I'm albeit surprised a complete stranger actually feels bad for me, even my family had a hard time showing their feelings, but that came with the job. The priest lifestyle kept them from being the family I needed but I learned the hard way that family isn't all it's cracked up to be.

"Why on earth would I not, it's always sad to hear about things like that."

"I don't know what I'd do if mine died." Pinkie hugged me for an almost touching moment before backing away and sighing. "I've got a few things to finish up in town, your last stop is due south, go through the gate and knock on the barn door."

"How do you know I won't just run away?"

"I know everything, and you're going to go cuz there's a guy there who can punt a log fifty yards."

"That's not so..."

"While it's rooted."

"Hard." Fifty yards after uprooting it, she has to be joking.

"Oh You mean Macintosh, he's not afraid of getting dirty doing what's right, he'd break his back to build a house for a complete stranger." A Gentle giant, maybe he could help me learn how to stay in control.

"He's got a big brain, and a bigger heart."

"For a Stallion his age he's well seasoned beyond his years."

"Okay I get the picture I'll go and meet him."

"Just don't make any sudden moves for his sister, he's a bit protective." Rarity said quietly.

"That reminds me how's your's?"

"She's difficult, I'm just glad my parents are home for the foreseeable future, but I digress my work is cut out for me when she's here, Literally." Pinkie distracted her long enough for me to slip out. For some stupid reason I followed her directions exactly before hearing a loud snap.

"Shit," It sounded like he broke bones. Screw gates parkour for the win! a hop skip and a jump later followed by a backflip and a cartwheel I found a dark red Stallion in a pair of jeans sitting on a stump. Tattooed on his back was a large green apple. He looked fine. "I wanted this for a new couch frame, What do you think about a coffee table kid?" He chuckled. "It's been nigh on to five years since I laid eyes on one of yeh." He leaned down and picked up a flower. "We have so much in common with the fields, the world is full of grass, normal everyday folk, and weeds. But every so often there sprouts a beautiful flower from a crack in the sidewalk."

"How did you know?"

"I remind you of your grandfather, or some old guy you know but never listen to, you're new here, and you lack the proper training to use your talents to their fullest. You've been battered, beaten, and broken, and tossed aside like yesterday's garbage." He read me like a book still keeping his eyes locked on the flower.

"I can beat anybody,"

"You're lying, I can tell." This guy can't be for real, his connection to the earth it's unmistakable. "Your heartbeat, your muscles, whenever somebody lies their body shows signs, I can read them. Tora Peacefang, and you can take off the hood I know what you look like." He stood and walked over to a tree. "Seems sturdy enough." He grabbed one branch and slammed his other elbow through it. He tossed it to me and whistled. A loud yip came from behind and I turned to find a little dog. "She don't bite, she likes cats."

"Is it that obvious to everyone?!"

"I Said it's been Nigh on five years since I've laid eyes on one of you, and I meant it." He ripped through more branches, as the dog yipped and pawed my leg. "I can't play with her jus throw the stick a few times and she'll bring it back, it may be idiotic but it's the most challenging sport this side of squirrel chasing."

"You've seen us before?"

"O'Course it takes a trained eye to spot them though. They're strong too, ain't they Winona?" I swear she said Yep, but I was just hearing things. The Stallion breathed deep and took the Horse fighting stance. He slammed his palm on the trunk with a grunt. and stood relaxed and rubbed his shoulder. a third of the tree slid down onto the ground. "There the new house got a couch now."

"Are you okay."

"Yup, just a splinter, now put your hood back on, my sister's coming."

"Big Macintosh! You over here!"

"Down here!"

"There you are, I was just gonna tell you I finished my chores, and I'm off to that party at the library." She stood about six feet tall, had orange fur and three apples tattooed on her right bicep. Her long blonde mane was ironically worn in a pony-tail. "My name's Applejack," She hefted her hand at me. "What's yours?" I paused for a minute before reaching out and shaking it.
"What's wrong with your arm?" She obviously noticed my bandaged hands.

"I got burned. a long time ago, I don't like wearing the scars."

"Oh I figured you were like some martial artist, y'know Kung Foal, Muay Clydesdale." Really, I expertly put on a winning poker face......that she couldn't see. "I'd love to have another sparring partner, Rainbow's strong but she tends to go overboard."

"Rainbow Dash?"

"Yeah Pinkie's pretty good too, strong, fast, but she always wins she's got some weird ninja powers or somethin'." Ninja Ponies hmm. "Well I wouldn't want to be late for the party." She sauntered off but stopped and bent over. Her awesome ass almost shot at me. She stood and whistled. "C'mon Winona!" The dog barked finally getting to play with soomeone. She laughed and ran off like a little school girl. I was snapped back to reality by a busted nose.

"What the Hell, man!"

"If you try anything I'll knock you out of Equestria and back home."

"No promises."

"Of course never make a promise you know you'll break, that in turn keeps your record clean, Smart Ass."

"Mine may be smart, but your sister's I heart."

"Five."

"Five what?"

"Five minutes or you'll be late."

"Late for wha... My Date!, how did you?"

"She came by about an hour ago."

"Gotta Run,"

"If I ever catch getting ready to pounce on my sister."

"I'll have to try harder not to get caught."

"You are just like every smooth talking Casanova that comes through here and hit on my sister."

"I'm the last one,"

"You're a constant downer huh?

"You'd be too if you've been through the shit I have."

"Good luck out there" He gripped my hand harder than a vice. "You're gonna need it." What fresh hell did I just step into?

The date with muffin

This place isn't so bad, they have a competent military, Royalty that doesn't need protecting, that Shining Armor guy, and that Macintosh guy are a hell of a lot stronger than I am. But where has he seen my kind before? The stories I've been told all my life say they never left Earth
. "Hey there," I found Ditzy waving, handing a package to Pinkie. "This is my last stop!"
"Thanks for the overnight delivery, I really appreciate it." Pinkie said as she signed for the cardboard box.

"No problem, anything for a friend." Ditzy waved me over. "Tora this is Pinkie."
"We've met."
"Oh that's great, Pinkie's teaching me how to remember important information like who lives where, and I thought you could take me out to my favorite restaurant."
"Ooh you two are dating? And you said you didn't want any, but here you got yourself a marefriend. Good looking and such a charmer, I'm happy and a little bit jealous."
"I got roped into this,"
"Hey what you do in the bedroom is your own business. Come on in I've got enough time to take your order and then I'm off." Ditzy and Pinkie dragged me to a table and we sat down. "So two blueberry and one bran for the dame and I'm gonna guess, something along the lines of a banana nut bread loaf for you." How the hell does she know I like banana nut bread that much? "I'll take that as a yes," She walked into the kitchen. "It'll be a few minutes guys, start talking!"
Okay creepy Pink ponie aside.

"So what do you do for a living?" Ditzy thought for a moment as she slipped out of her denim jacket.
"Work, mostly the mail I work at a shipping company, so I'm a delivery girl, but I'm a bit well...distracted some times."
"Well that's great at least you have a stable job, and besides I'm sure a beautiful lady like you could find another job if this one doesn't work out."
"You're so nice to me why?"
"A guy can't be nice to a girl without ulterior motives?"
"So you don't have any ulterior motives?" Crap I've been cornered, uh quick brain think of something stupid.
"Well, wow I can't answer that," What the hell brain? You told me to think of something stupid. "That's not what I meant, I mean I think you're drop dead gorgeous, I wouldn't mind you know eventually but I just got out of a reltionship. And right now I'm more or less browsing the wares so to speak."

"You're the first one not to tease me about these stupid things, I think I should get them fixed."Her cheeks turned a little pink.
"Why?"
"I have special eyes, they only make me look stupid."
Pinkie set the muffins on the table and winked. "Well look with your Special eyes." Ditzy looked down and picked up one.
"My bran!" This seems so fucking familiar. A few minutes later Pinkie brought me the bread.
"It was nice meeting you again Kitty kitty, see you tomorrow?"
"Probably,"
"Good, I'll see you two tomorrow morning then?"
"What's tomorrow morning."
"Wow do you live under a rock or something?" Ditzy was taken aback.
"The Summer Sun Celebration, the very reason you came to Ponyville, you know the thing, at the place?"
"oh... oH... OH Okay I remember now."
"That's why we're having the party at the library, to celebrate the last of the spring time fun, and to welcome the new nerd. Don't tell her I said that." She paused for a minute. "I think I forgot something, Oh crap the party, gotta run and don't fall asleep."
"Why not?"
"You sleep, you die, simple... Smokebomb!" Pinkie threw a cupcake on the ground and disappeared. "Missus Cake I used the wrong cupcake again!"
"Don't worry I'll clean it up!"
"Thanks, I won't be home til tomorrow afternoon,"
"All right." With that the feeling I was being watched subsided.
"So what's with the hood and the hands?"
"I don't like showing the scars,"
"What happened?"
"Long story,"
"We got plenty of time." Oh god brain back me into another corner... I try. Grrr.

"Well about three years ago there was a fire that destroyed my entire village, I was the only survivor. It wasn't an accident or some natural disaster, I swore from that day on I would never let anyone hurt anypony else that I cared about." Did I really just say that? ANYPONY, anyPONY, anypony, huh not that different.
"I'm sorry to hear about your family, but I'm happy that you took it like you did, otherwise we might have never met," Is this chick actually falling for me, I aint even trying that hard. "Well I have to take a nap, I got to pull a double shift tonight so all the packages are delivered before the Holiday. It was nice meeting you, and I hope we see eachother in the morning."
"Count on it." She got up and walked out the door before flying off. "Aw crap I don't have any money."
"Don't worry about it," An orange Stallion took the plates. "Pinkie Pie has money stashed away under each table for occasions like this," He reached under the table and found five gold pieces.
"Out of her own pocket?"
"Yeah, for some reason she has a lot of money but she never spends it on herself. I personally think she has enough to buy the entire shop but she just rents the room downstairs."
"Is that so?" Probably because of the private detective thing. "So What's this whole Summer Sun Celebration about anyway?"
"Nomad huh?"
"Yeah."
"Well you know how Princess Celestia raises the sun, well on the morning of the longest day of the year, she chooses a town to host the festival, bringing businesses in that town so many customers we're lucky this year that we get to hold it here. But the Apple family beat us to the punch to cater the event itself, but well what are you gonna do?"

"This town is nice,"
"Well that's why me and the missus settled down here in the first place. You got twelve hours til the celebration so go on see the sights, I'm sure Rainbow Dash has a game of somekind going on with the foals, that'll give you some exercise, and a way to pass the time."
"How do you live with her?"
"Who Pinkie Pie, well she has a way of growing on you, always gets you to laugh when you're down, and challenges you to think outside the box. Having her around is like having a university dorm party. She makes life fun while still staying serious when it matters." He looked back. "I've over stepped my bounds, talking to a complete stranger about a Filly I love as my own daughter."
"It's fine, if I'm gonna choose to settle down here I need to learn about the town and the ponies that live here."
"Pinkie Pie could tell you more than I could, The whole Eidetic memory, and her 300 IQ, she remembers everything she's a living day planner." My God 300 IQ. "Well I hate to burst the bubble but we need to prepare for the rush."
"I understand, any place I could go for training?"
"Well there's Sweet Apple Acres, I'm sure Macintosh wouldn't mind if you helped him clear out the dead trees, and I heard he uses a steel gurder as a punching bag." This Macintosh guy is easily the strongest here in this town. "He single handedly built half of the town in a day or so, and he pops in every once in a while for repairs. Speaking of which here he is now." Macintosh walked in through the saloon doors now wearing a t-shirt and holey jeans.

"Everything alright here?"
"Yes no repairs needed today, why don't you sit down and I'll get something for you."
"Banana Fritter if you don't mind," He smiled and sat across from me.
"They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but I'm surrounded by apples all the time. So how's your day been kid?"
"Well, I think I might have a Girlfriend."
"Might, you sure know how to read women, There's still time if you want to go to that party."
"Not interested."
"You're one tough nut to crack, you know that?"
"I try."
"What's your deal anyway, the last one was happy, a little worried but still happy. You're as distant as they come."
"The last friend I made made my life a living hell."
"And you think just because he did, everbody else will too?" The orange Stallion laid dow the fritter and Macintosh took a bite. "We're friends, right, would I make your life like hell? I'm gonna assume that's a bad thing."
"What makes you think we're friends?"
"I'm the only one here you actually respect, everbody else can shove it am I right?" What the fuck that's just creepy, how in hell can he know all this stuff about me? "I am."
"How?"
"Good judge of character."
"Even if that was true, how could you tell I was lying without looking at me? Or even how my life was before I came here?"
"You see this daisy?" He took one from the vase in the window.
"Yeah."
"Watch." He crushed it and blew it in the air. "See the parts scatter, but all land back in my hand? Even though our lives become distrought," He cupped his hands and blew on the pieces. "It can be put back together." He opened them and the flower was perfectly fine.

"Incredible." Then he ruined the moment by eating it. "What the what?"
"I always have a daisy when I come here, now back to the matter you can trust me, and Applejack. and Almost all of the Ponyvillians,"
"Ponyville, who the hell named it that
"My Grandmother,"
"Oh, so your family founded the town?"
"That's right, tell you what, I'll teach you a few new tricks, if you want."
"I got nothing better to do."


"Hey anybody home, hello is anybody out there?"
"Shut up idiot, he can't hear us."
"I don't care, I'm bored as hell and it's cramped with your fat ass in here"
"Ooh I'd rip your arm off if you hadn't lost it."
"Both of you calm down, He will contact us in due time,"
"Request lines are now open, Tora soul radio-o-o-o."
"Shut up!"
"Make me,"
"You asked for it!"
"Oh crap you done it now man."
