Steel Donut Collective - FATE (Fanfiction Reading)

Cynthia's parents walked over to the door and opened it to see that it was max and blade "umm, can we help the two of you fine men?" Cynthia's father asked.

Max then placed his hands behind his back as he then cleared his throat "ahem, good morning sir" max said "I was walking around the area and I happen to bump into your daughter and I was hopping that I could apologize to her" he said praying that they would let him see her. The parents then looked at each other and smiled as they then turned there heads to them "alright" Cynthia's mother "we will let you see her, she is in room upstairs", max and blade nodded at them "thank you very much" blade said as they walked in and went upstairs. As Cynthia's father closed the door he then looked at his wife with a smile "hey hunny" he said.

"yes sweetheart?".

"how much you wanna bet that our daughter is gonna shoot him down in under five seconds?" he said, Cynthia's mother grinned at him as she wrapped her arms around his waist "oh I bet Cynthia is gonna shoot him down the first minute she sees him", the two then kissed as they stood at the stairs and waited.

the two then walked downstairs and over to the door as the parents watched "she closed the door in your face huh?" Cynthia's mother asked him.

Max then turned to her and nodded "yes..but I'm not going to give up" he said as he walked out the door. Cynthia's parents then looked at the stairs as they both sighed "that boy has no idea what he's getting himself into" Cynthia's mother said, her husband agreed with her "yea, but hey you have to give the boy points for trying",

Cynthia pondered at the thought for a bit until her parents came out of the room "well he should be fine until tomorrow" he mother said.

"it's a good thing you two brought him here" her father said, her parents then walked down the hall as blade followed them as he then nudged his head to the door.

The parents got from there seats "how did she do" her father asked.

The teacher looked at them "how did she do?" be said "she CHEATED!".

"WHAT!?".

Cynthia's parents walked over to the door and opened it to see that it was max and blade "umm, can we help the two of you fine men?" Cynthia's father asked.

Max then placed his hands behind his back as he then cleared his throat "ahem, good morning sir" max said "I was walking around the area and I happen to bump into your daughter and I was hopping that I could apologize to her" he said praying that they would let him see her.

The parents got from there seats "how did she do" her father asked.

The teacher looked at them "how did she do?" be said "she CHEATED!".

"WHAT!?".

As Katherine was in her room her foster parents were downstairs talking "oh dear, what are we to do?" Katherine's foster mother said. Her foster father was holding his pipe in his hand as he was thinking as he held his wife's hand "I'm not sure Hun, but I hope that she will be able to go on her date today with that boy she told us about" he said "the way she sounded and told us about him, he sounds like a sweet boy for her".

His wife nodded as she looked at the stairs and sighed "we have tried everything to make her feel better...maybe we didn't try hard enough dear".

She then felt her husbands hands hold hers "nonsense dear, I know that we can help her get better, who knows maybe that jack fella can help her", his wife smiled a bit "hope that your right". As the two worried about Katherine they then heard a knock at the door, the two got up and walked over to the door and opened it reviling it to be blade and jack. "yes, may I help you?" Katherine's foster mother said in kind tone "good morning mam" blade said "were friends of Katherine and we were wondering if she would be able to join us on our picnic today?". "oh you must be jack, the boy that she talked about yesterday".

Blade shook his head "I'm terribly sorry but I'm not him" he then pointed over to jack "this is jack, my name is blade, it's a pleasure to meet you". The woman was a little confused by his name but she accepted it never less.

"oh it's a pleasure to meet the two of you" she said.

"same here mam" jack said.

"oh please, won't the two of you come inside?" she asked, they nodded and walked inside as Katherine's foster father stood on the left side of the door "welcome boys" he said as he held out his hand to them, the two shook his hand as they walked over to the couch as the parents followed and sat with them. As they all sat jack pulled on the collar of his shirt as he was trying his best not to be nervous, the parents saw this and smiled at him "it's alright son, there's no need to be nervous" katherine's father said. Jack blinked a bit "are you sure? Because I don't want to make a bad impression".

They nodded at him "of course, just be yourself".

Jack sighed in a bit of relief as he calmed down, blade then turned his attention tithe parents "excuse me" he said "I don't mean to be rude, but will katherine be able to join us for our hang out?". Katherine's father smiled at him as he placed his pipe into his mouth "of course my boy, let me go get her real quick" he said as he got up from his wife's side and walked over to the steps to fetch her, Katherine's mother cleared her throat "i'm sorry that Katherine didn't come downstairs to see the two of you" she said "she's just...going through something at the moment".

This caught blade and jack's attention "really? May we kindly ask what it my be? I mean if that's alright with you?" jack asked, the woman raised her hand at them "no no it's fine, I should probably tell you to give you both a heads up". She then got her thoughts together and sighed "you see, Katherine has been going through some major issues with her past".

"how so?" blade asked.

"well, when we adopted her, the councilor that had her told us about her birth parents, her father had murdered her mother and himself in a fit of rage and she witnessed that when she was only five years old", blade and jack were shocked to hear this "that's horrible" jack said. Katherine's mother agreed with him "yes, and ever since that had happened to her she has been having sever nightmares and hallucinations all her life. My husband and I have tried very hard to help her, but nothing has seemed to work. At times we hear her talk to herself, we hear talk to the "voices" within her head, how they tell her that her that she will never have any friends or how she will always be alone", the boys didn't say anything as she kept talking.

"she may always look like she is smiling and have a wonderful time, but that is a mask to hide her sanity breaking everyday, her mind is already broken and she has snapped at times. Not in a violent way, but in a more hyperactive way, my husband and I have been praying that she will get better and hope that everything will be well". The room was silent as depression and sadness filled the room, jack then looked at the floor "I...I had no idea she was going through all of that" he said. Blade nodded silently until the woman spoke "well, she did speak about how she really liked you jack".

Jack then raised his head up "s-she..she did?".

"mhm, she told us about how she meet these two wonderful boys and how one of them was really cute, she told us your name, how you shared your food with her and everything, she couldn't stop talking about you. And that alone makes me smile", jack could not help but smile as a tiny hard to see tear came down his face. The three all then heard footsteps as they all saw Katherine and her father come down the steps.

"sorry to keep you waiting" he said, Katherine then looked over to see jack and blade sitting on the couch "Jackie!" she shouted as she ran over to him and tackled him in a hug "hey Katherine" jack said as he held onto her tightly, she kept holding onto him as she showed her bright smile. Her parents were happy, they were happy to see there adopted daughter be with someone. She had no friends and she had always felt alone because she thought that her hyper attitude and over the top dresses drove them away, but here was someone that she cared about and someone that she secretly loved.

Blade then got up as he picked up the basket "well we better be going now, will bring her back as soon as possible" he said. The parents looked at each other for a bit with hint of worry for there daughter might go into another snapped outburst while being with them. "alright" they said "just be careful".

He grabbed it from the table and answered it:

"hello?".

"blade!" it was Katherine's mother, blade was a bit worried at how she sounded "what's wrong?" he asked her, Katherine's mother then started crying "it's Katherine! She's gone missing!".

"what!".

"she has been missing for about two hours and we can't find her!", blade then ran over to the bathroom door "don't worry will find her mam" he said as he then slammed on the door

As Katherine was in her room her foster parents were downstairs talking "oh dear, what are we to do?" Katherine's foster mother said. Her foster father was holding his pipe in his hand as he was thinking as he held his wife's hand "I'm not sure Hun, but I hope that she will be able to go on her date today with that boy she told us about" he said "the way she sounded and told us about him, he sounds like a sweet boy for her".

This caught blade and jack's attention "really? May we kindly ask what it my be?

The parents looked at each other for a bit with hint of worry for there daughter might go into another snapped outburst while being with them. "alright" they said "just be careful".

Janice stopped at the steps as she saw her father open the door "yes?" her father said.

"umm yes, I was just in the neighborhood and I was wondering-".

"just get to the point. I haven't got all night".

"did your daughter drop this?".

The man then had widened eyes "why that's Janice's wallet" he said, Corey nodded as he held it to him "yup, just bringing it back to her sir". The man took the wallet as he then looked at the boy "I suppose that you want a reward?" he said in stern tone, corey shook his head at him "no thanks. I'm just happy to help out someone, have a pleasant day" he said as he went on his way. Janice's father closed the front door as he then turned to see his wife and his daughter "well that was odd" Janice's mother said, her husband nodded "I know. I've never heard of someone not want a reward before". He then handed Janice her wallet as she then placed it in her pocket as she then heard her father tap his foot as she looked at him "so Janice" he said "how did you lose your wallet?", Janice sighed as she then placed her hands on her hips "well father if you must know, I was held up at gunpoint by these two men" she said.

"you were what!?" her mother said.

Janice waved her hand at her "don't worry. That boy saved me, he got rid of them with little effort. I really wanted to thank him for helping me, but I ran off". Janice's father placed his hand on her shoulder "well I think that you did the right thing. After all he might have just wanted to get rid of those men just so he could rob you" he said, Janice then moved her father's hand off of her shoulder "father! You can't really think that?", he father nodded at her "well that's what I think. Who knows he might have done it on his way over here, maybe he took something out of your wallet. Maybe that's why he didn't want anything" he said.

Janice huffed as she stormed off back upstairs and into her room, her mother looked at her father with a strict look on her face "now look what you did" she said.

"me! What did I do wrong?".

"now do you really think that boy took something out of her wallet, I mean if he did then why did he act so calm then?".

"look that's how life is! You can't trust anyone in this world. And I sure as hell don't trust that boy!".

"you know your a real ass!".

"well I'm sorry for walking all over you!".

"wait! You have it all wrong, one i've been here this whole time!" he said. The officer only ignored his plea "that's what they all say son". Corey then looked at Janice's father who had an angry scowl on his face, "sir please listen to me. I didn't kidnap your daughter" he said "she came over to my house last night", Janice's father then socked him across the face "shut your mouth you poor ungrateful bastered!" he snapped.

Corey was about to protest until they all heard the bedroom door open wide "Corey darling what's wrong?" Janice said as she had on some old clothes on that she had found in Corey's dresser, both of her parents were speechless at what they saw. Janice looked at them as she rubbed her eyes a bit waking herself up, she then looked over at the police officer and saw him arresting Corey as she then held her hand over her mouth "Corey!" she yelled as she ran over to him only to be stopped by her parents "no! Don't you go near that monster Janice!" her father said. Her mother held onto her as she was crying "oh my god! What he done to my little girl!" she cried.

Janice was trying to reach out to Corey as the officer then looked at him darkly "you make me sick " the officer said as he carried the boy to his car "the three of you will have to come with me to the station, so we can look over your daughter to see if she has any scars on her body". Corey rolled his eyes "you have to be kidding me", the officer then opened the car door and threw him inside "silence! Will see what the judge has to say about this!". The officer then turned to the family to see Janice crying as her parents were behind her "I'm sorry mister and miss Walters" he said "but I'm afraid that your going to have to ride in the back with the criminal". Janice's parents sighed as they got into the back of the police car as the officer then got in and drove to the police station.

As they were on there way to the station Corey was sitting next to the window as he glanced over to Janice who was glancing back at him as her parents were next to her side, Corey looked down at his feet as he closed his eyes in sadness. Janice was upset about what was happening to him as she then tried to move her right hand over to him, as she got a little closer to him her mother stopped her "don't even get near that rapist" she said as she held onto her. Janice tried to wiggle out of her mother's grip "let me go!" she said, her father held her by her chin "look! We don't know what that boy did to you? But I don't want you to ever see him again! And I want you to never speak of his name! Do you understand me!" he said. Before Janice could respond they all then heard the officer scream "HOLY SHIT!" he yelled as another car came at them at high speed. Corey then leaned over and pulled his arms over Janice as the car crashed into them.

Janice stopped at the steps as she saw her father open the door "yes?" her father said.

"umm yes, I was just in the neighborhood and I was wondering-".

"just get to the point. I haven't got all night".

"mommy! Daddy!" fluttershy said as she hugged her parents, "hello hunny. Ohhh we have missed you so much" tulip pink said she had the same color as fluttershy's but pale, her father on the other hand had a light orange coat with red hair "yes we have" sunshine said "your mother and I have been worried sick about you everyday".

Fluttershy smiled at them "don't worry daddy I'm fine. I've been doing very well in ponyville".

Sunshine smiled at his daughter "that's good to here Hun. So your mother and I read one of your letters that you had sent us awhile back. You told us in your letter that you had found a coltfriend" he said, fluttershy nodded at him "yes daddy...b-but I have to tell you now that he from a d-different planet" she said shyly as she hide behind her hair.

Sunshine then lifted his daughters hair out of her face as he looked at her with a loving smile "does it matter were he came from or what type of species he is" he asked her.

"w-well...no...but".

"but?" tulip said.

Fluttershy then looked at the ground "b-but...it's just I'm a little worried that you may not like him because he's di-different" she said, her parents then held her into a hug as they both looked at there daughter with smiles "fluttershy we would never judge on who your dating or what he looks like or were he came from" tulip said. "your mothers right fluttershy" sunshine said "we would never do that to you. As long as he makes you happy and as long as he treats you well" he finished.

Hearing this made fluttershy smile more hearing that from her parents "thank you. I needed that" she said, "of course. That's what parents are here for. To help there child" tulip said. As fluttershy was enjoying her company with her parents rarity was chatting with hers.

Everyone was a bit surprised but happy never less, "well I'm glad that he was able to bring you back" stormshock said, Clayton nodded "as am I". After they all listened to clayton's story tulip pink and sunshine then turned there attention to dillon and fluttershy.

"so dillon" tulip pink said "our daughter has told us that the two of you are engaged", dillon nodded at her "that's right mam". Tulip and sunshine smiled brightly "well we were hoping that our little girl would find somepony. But we never knew that she would be engaged. I must say that this is the best thing for you fluttershy" sunshine said.

"t-thank you daddy" fluttershy said with a small smile on her face.

"your very welcome dear. Now if I may ask. When are the two of you going to have the wedding and what day?".

Fluttershy and dillon then looked at each other, they didn't really didn't know were they were going to have the wedding but they did know what day they were going to have it on. Fluttershy and dillon then look at tulip pink and sunshine "well..we were going to have the wedding tomorrow. I mean if that's alright with the both of you" dillon said.

Tulip pink and sunshine then looked at each other for a bit then back at them "well that's not a bad idea. In fact tomorrow that's when the Sakura trees will start to bloom. Oh I think that will be a romantic setting for a wedding" tulip pink said with outmost joy.

Everyone smiled as they then thought of ideas on what to do, "I will be sure to send a letter to my brother, princess cadance, princess celestia, and princess Luna tonight once I get home" twilight said.

"I'm sure that the princess and your brother would like that very much twilight" crescent star said.

"me too".

"oh I can't wait for tomorrow" tulip pink said "I'm sure your parents are very proud of you dillon".

The mane twelve then froze as they all looked at dillon when tulip pink said that, dillon then closed his eyes as tulip pink then looked at him with concern "oh dear. I hope that didn't saying anything wrong?", dillon looked at her and waved his left hand "oh no no. It's alright.....it's just...I don't have a family anymore. I kinda got disowned from my parents" 

"what" magnum said.

"why is that?" curry pie asked.

Dillon then tapped his fingers on the table "my father would not accept Fluttershy as my lover so he and I fought. Nearly lost my life against him, thank god I only lost my arm. As for my mother...well. She's dead to me. She's been dead to me ever since I was three and she started physically abusing me".

The parents were all upset about hearing what happened to dillon and why he didn't care much for his parents, tulip pink then got out of her seat and walked over to him and hugged him as tight as she could. Dillon hugged her back as the two then let go as sunshine walked up to his wife "well as long as your hear and with fluttershy. Your a part of our family" he said.

"yes. We will be your new father and mother in law" tulip pink said with a smile across her face, dillon rubbed the back of his head as he was touched by what they had said "wow. That really means a lot to me. Thank you".

Sunshine placed his hoof on his shoulder "of course. We wouldn't have it any other way".

Everyone was very happy that dillon was now a part of fluttershy's family, and to make it even better she was going to be a part of his life as his wife. Fluttershy then tapped dillon on the shoulder to get his attention "umm d-dillon?" fluttershy said.

Dillon then turned to her "yes fluttershy?".

Fluttershy then placed her hoofs on the side of his face as she then leaned up to his lips and kissed them with hers. Dillon then placed his hands on her hips as they kept kissing, soon everyone then clapped of the two as tulip pink had a small tear come down her face as she smiled at her daughter and her fianc.

"we did a wonderful job as parents sweetheart" sunshine said.

Tulip pink turned to her husband and nodded at him as she kissed his cheek "yes. We sure did".

"I agree" pork pie said "but I must say sunshine that your daughter has a very well mannered coltfriend".

Sunshine smiled "thanks pork. Yes our little fluttershy isn't so little anymore. She's now going to be someponys wife".

Tulip pink laid her head on her husbands shoulder "yes she will. And in time she'll be a wonderful mother for our future grandchild, human or pony".

"mommy! Daddy!" fluttershy said as she hugged her parents, "hello hunny. Ohhh we have missed you so much" tulip pink said she had the same color as fluttershy's but pale, her father on the other hand had a light orange coat with red hair "yes we have" sunshine said "your mother and I have been worried sick about you everyday".

Fluttershy smiled at them "don't worry daddy I'm fine. I've been doing very well in ponyville".

Sunshine smiled at his daughter "that's good to here Hun. So your mother and I read one of your letters that you had sent us awhile back. You told us in your letter that you had found a coltfriend" he said, fluttershy nodded at him "yes daddy...b-but I have to tell you now that he from a d-different planet" she said shyly as she hide behind her hair.

Sunshine then lifted his daughters hair out of her face as he looked at her with a loving smile "does it matter were he came from or what type of species he is" he asked her.

"w-well...no...but".

"but?" tulip said.

Fluttershy then looked at the ground "b-but...it's just I'm a little worried that you may not like him because he's di-different" she said, her parents then held her into a hug as they both looked at there daughter with smiles "fluttershy we would never judge on who your dating or what he looks like or were he came from" tulip said. "your mothers right fluttershy" sunshine said "we would never do that to you. As long as he makes you happy and as long as he treats you well" he finished.

Hearing this made fluttershy smile more hearing that from her parents "thank you. I needed that" she said, "of course. That's what parents are here for. To help there child" tulip said. As fluttershy was enjoying her company with her parents rarity was chatting with hers.

"so dillon" tulip pink said "our daughter has told us that the two of you are engaged", dillon nodded at her "that's right mam". Tulip and sunshine smiled brightly "well we were hoping that our little girl would find somepony. But we never knew that she would be engaged. I must say that this is the best thing for you fluttershy" sunshine said.

"t-thank you daddy" fluttershy said with a small smile on her face.

"your very welcome dear. Now if I may ask. When are the two of you going to have the wedding and what day?".

Fluttershy and dillon then looked at each other, they didn't really didn't know were they were going to have the wedding but they did know what day they were going to have it on. Fluttershy and dillon then look at tulip pink and sunshine "well..we were going to have the wedding tomorrow. I mean if that's alright with the both of you" dillon said.

Tulip pink and sunshine then looked at each other for a bit then back at them "well that's not a bad idea. In fact tomorrow that's when the Sakura trees will start to bloom. Oh I think that will be a romantic setting for a wedding" tulip pink said with outmost joy.

"well we have one thing out of the way "sunshine said "now we just need to pick the area of were it shall take place".

Everyone thought about were the wedding should be set as they all started thinking of ideas, this went on for a while until jack then snapped his fingers "hey i've got it" he said "what if we have the wedding at the ponyville rose garden". Everyone thought that the idea of having the wedding at the ponyville rose garden was a very good idea.

The parents were all upset about hearing what happened to dillon and why he didn't care much for his parents, tulip pink then got out of her seat and walked over to him and hugged him as tight as she could. Dillon hugged her back as the two then let go as sunshine walked up to his wife "well as long as your hear and with fluttershy. Your a part of our family" he said.

"yes. We will be your new father and mother in law" tulip pink said with a smile across her face, dillon rubbed the back of his head as he was touched by what they had said "wow. That really means a lot to me. Thank you".

Sunshine placed his hoof on his shoulder "of course. We wouldn't have it any other way".

Everyone was very happy that dillon was now a part of fluttershy's family, and to make it even better she was going to be a part of his life as his wife. Fluttershy then tapped dillon on the shoulder to get his attention "umm d-dillon?" fluttershy said.

Dillon then turned to her "yes fluttershy?".

Fluttershy then placed her hoofs on the side of his face as she then leaned up to his lips and kissed them with hers. Dillon then placed his hands on her hips as they kept kissing, soon everyone then clapped of the two as tulip pink had a small tear come down her face as she smiled at her daughter and her fianc.

"we did a wonderful job as parents sweetheart" sunshine said.

Tulip pink turned to her husband and nodded at him as she kissed his cheek "yes. We sure did".

They all then looked at the clock hanging from the wall to see that it was 12:36 a.m, pork pie then chuckled a bit "hehe. Well well, looks like we have been here for a while now" he said.

Curry pie and honeycrisp nodded "I agree with ya on that. I think that we should be getting a move on".

The mane twelve then had sad faces.

"awww. But we've only been here for a few hours" pinkie pie said.

"yes pinkamena that is true" pork pie said "but don't worry. You'll all see us at the big wedding tomorrow", the parents all then hugged there children and there coltfriends as everyone all then walked out of the restaurant and all headed home. As the parents all saw there children head off they all then walked together as they all spoke with one another.

"well. That was very enjoyable" curry pie said.

"I agree" pork pie said "but I must say sunshine that your daughter has a very well mannered coltfriend".

Sunshine smiled "thanks pork. Yes our little fluttershy isn't so little anymore. She's now going to be someponys wife".

Tulip pink laid her head on her husbands shoulder "yes she will. And in time she'll be a wonderful mother for our future grandchild, human or pony".

"it's so good to see you both again mother and father" rarity said as she hugged them both.

"likewise" dazzle said "so how has our little girl been these past few months?" magnum said, rarity then turned to Corey as she then turned back to her parents "oh. Just a lot of very eventful things" she said "but I will tell you all about them once we get settled down" she said, her parents smiled as the three then talked about something else.

"it's nice to meet you both" sam said.

"well. He certainly is a kind colt" dazzle said.

"indeed" pork pie said.

The two then kissed as magnum and dazzle nodded at them "oh boy I can't wait for that" magnum said "our girl rarity being a mother".

"she'll have so many dresses" dazzle said.

"how much you want to bet it will be a girl".

"oh now that is so obvious".

The two then chuckled as they thought about how rarity would be making so many outfits for there grandchild.

"it's so good to see you both again mother and father" rarity said as she hugged them both.

"oh I can't wait for tomorrow" tulip pink said "I'm sure your parents are very proud of you dillon".

The mane twelve then froze as they all looked at dillon when tulip pink said that, dillon then closed his eyes as tulip pink then looked at him with concern "oh dear. I hope that didn't saying anything wrong?", dillon looked at her and waved his left hand "oh no no. It's alright.....it's just...I don't have a family anymore. I kinda got disowned from my parents" 

"what" magnum said.

"why is that?" curry pie asked.

Tulip pink laid her head on her husbands shoulder "yes she will. And in time she'll be a wonderful mother for our future grandchild, human or pony".

The two then kissed as magnum and dazzle nodded at them "oh boy I can't wait for that" magnum said "our girl rarity being a mother".

"she'll have so many dresses" dazzle said.

"how much you want to bet it will be a girl".

"oh now that is so obvious".

The two then chuckled as they thought about how rarity would be making so many outfits for there grandchild.

Pinkie pie was jumping up and down as her parents watched "well pinkamena. It's seems that your in a very exciting mood than before" curry pie said. "your mother is right pinkamena. We've never seen you this excited before" pork pie said, pinkie pie nodded rapidly "yup. I can't wait to introduce you to my coltfriend Jacky" she said. The two looked at each other then back at there daughter "you have a coltfriend?" they both asked.

She nodded "yup. He's the best. He's sweet, he's cute, he's super nice, and he's a good baker like me". The two smile at her as they were both very interested to learn more about jack, applejack stood in front her parents who were standing in front of her.

"oh I can't wait for tomorrow" tulip pink said "I'm sure your parents are very proud of you dillon".

The mane twelve then froze as they all looked at dillon when tulip pink said that, dillon then closed his eyes as tulip pink then looked at him with concern "oh dear.

"what" magnum said.

"why is that?" curry pie asked.

Dillon then tapped his fingers on the table "my father would not accept Fluttershy as my lover so he and I fought. Nearly lost my life against him, thank god I only lost my arm. As for my mother...well. She's dead to me. She's been dead to me ever since I was three and she started physically abusing me".

"awww. But we've only been here for a few hours" pinkie pie said.

"yes pinkamena that is true" pork pie said "but don't worry.

Everyone smiled as they then thought of ideas on what to do, "I will be sure to send a letter to my brother, princess cadance, princess celestia, and princess Luna tonight once I get home" twilight said.

They all then looked at the clock hanging from the wall to see that it was 12:36 a.m, pork pie then chuckled a bit "hehe. Well well, looks like we have been here for a while now" he said.

Applejack stood in front her parents who were standing in front of her.

Her father Bismarck had a light yellow coat, red hair, and white freckles on his face. Her mother honeycrisp had a red coat, blond hair that she kept in a large braid.

"it's really nice to see ya again" applejack said.

Curry pie and honeycrisp nodded "I agree with ya on that. I think that we should be getting a move on".

The mane twelve then had sad faces.

Bismark and honeycrisp were walking in the back of the group "man that boy sam sure is the best coltfriend that applejack found. He totally gets mah seal of approval" Bismarck said.

"I hear ya" honeycrisp said "he is gonna be a great member if the apple family".

"everypony I would like to introduce you all to our coltfriends" twilight said "this here is sam, Corey, jack, Clayton, dillon, and max" she finished. The boys all bowed to there parents, the parents all smiled at them.

"so these are the young lovers that ya'll were all talkin about" Bismarck said as he raised his hoof at sam "well it's a pleasure to meet ya. Names bismarck" said as he shook sam's hand.

"it's nice to meet you both" sam said.

Bismark and honeycrisp were walking in the back of the group "man that boy sam sure is the best coltfriend that applejack found. He totally gets mah seal of approval" Bismarck said.

"I hear ya" honeycrisp said "he is gonna be a great member if the apple family".

As the apple family were discussing there time with how everything was going Rainbow dash and her parents were smiling at each other.

"it's good to see ya guys" rainbow dash said.

"it's good to see you too rainbow dash" thunderbolt said.

"I see that your doing much better Hun" stormshock said, rainbow dash nodded at them.

"so anything been going on?" thunderbolt asked her.

"well..I think I will tell you once we get to our table. Right now I wanna show my special somepony" rainbow dash said, thunderbolt and stormshock were a bit stunned to hear that there child had found a coltfriend again. "well well. Our little dashie has found herself another somepony" stormshock said "what's his name If I may ask" thunderbolt said.

Rainbow dash smiled brightly "it's the same one that I have been dating".

Her parents were a bit confused by this "uhhh....the same one? As in the one that you told us in your letters before" her mother asked her.

She nodded.

Her parents were very confused by this as rainbow dash pats them "don't worry. Ll'l tell ya all about it", she then hugged them again as her parents hugged her back.

Clayton took a deep breath as he looked at rainbow dash's parents "it's very nice to meet you" he said, the two parents smiled at him "it's very nice to meet you too" stormshock said "but I think that we should find somewhere to sit first", everyone agreed as they all went to a large table as the boys seated there parents first and then there marefriends.

"oh....that part".

"so tell us" stormshock said "how is that your alive?".

Everyone was a bit surprised but happy never less, "well I'm glad that he was able to bring you back" stormshock said, Clayton nodded "as am I". After they all listened to clayton's story tulip pink and sunshine then turned there attention to dillon and fluttershy.

The two then chuckled as they thought about how rarity would be making so many outfits for there grandchild.

"well I'm just glad that rainbow dash is back to her old self" stormshock said "it really broke my heart when thunder and I started receiving letters about what had happened after that painful fight".

Thunderbolt wrapped his hoof over stormshock "well now our little dashie is all better. I'm really glad that they were able to bring back her lover".

"as am I".

They then nuzzled each other.

As the apple family were discussing there time with how everything was going Rainbow dash and her parents were smiling at each other.

"it's good to see ya guys" rainbow dash said.

"it's good to see you too rainbow dash" thunderbolt said.

"I see that your doing much better Hun" stormshock said, rainbow dash nodded at them.

"so anything been going on?" thunderbolt asked her.

She nodded.

Clayton gulped a bit as he then felt rainbow dash's hoof wrap around his hand as he looked at the cyan pony to see a smile on her face, "you'll be fine. I promise".

"she's right" thunderbolt said "you have nothing to worry about".

Clayton took a deep breath as he looked at rainbow dash's parents "it's very nice to meet you" he said, the two parents smiled at him "it's very nice to meet you too" stormshock said "but I think that we should find somewhere to sit first", everyone agreed as they all went to a large table as the boys seated there parents first and then there marefriends.

Thunderbolt then cleared his throat then turned to Clayton "ahem. Well then. So Clayton" he said "rainbow dash has been telling us in her letters all about you. Is it really true that you, her, and the rest of her friends all went and saved luna?" he asked. Clayton nodded "yes that is true. It was a fierce battle, but we managed to save her".

"well that's good...but there is also the matter of discussing the part that our daughter wrote in her letter to us".

"hmm?".

Thunderbolt then sighed as he then looked at the table then back up at Clayton, "our little dashie....told us in her letter that you were killed in that battle".

"oh....that part".

The two then chuckled as they thought about how rarity would be making so many outfits for there grandchild.

"well I'm just glad that rainbow dash is back to her old self" stormshock said "it really broke my heart when thunder and I started receiving letters about what had happened after that painful fight".

Thunderbolt wrapped his hoof over stormshock "well now our little dashie is all better. I'm really glad that they were able to bring back her lover".

"as am I".

They then nuzzled each other.

Twilight walked over to her parents as she hugged them "mom. Dad" she said in a joyous voice.

"hello hunny" crescent star said.

"how are you?" twilight velvet said

Twilight then looked over to max then back at her parents "I'm alright. I would like to introduce you to some...well someponies" she said as she walked over to max as her parents followed.

As they were all seated they then were able to start there conversation which lasted for about three hours.

"well now" twilight velvet said "these boys are alright with me. You couldn't ask for a better coltfriend".

Twilight blushed a bit as her and max looked at each other then at her "that's right mom" twilight said "max is the best".

"I see. Well as long as your happy then your father and I are happy as well" twilight velvet said, crescent star nodded at them "your mothers right. I think that you two are a very good couple".

Twilight velvet and cresant star were holding hoof and hoof as they walked "well twilight sure as a very close bond with max" twilight velvet said.

"I know. That was really funny when she told us how max had read all of her books that she had owned. Looks like she's gonna have a rival in studying" crescent star said, velvet nodded "but I'm glad that she is happy".

"I know. Those two will be just grand".

"and so will our grandchild".

The two then kissed as they then nuzzled each other as the parents then thought about how there children will be in the future, and they couldn't have been prouder of how they had turned out.

Twilight walked over to her parents as she hugged them "mom. Dad" she said in a joyous voice.

"and so will our grandchild".

The two then kissed as they then nuzzled each other as the parents then thought about how there children will be in the future, and they couldn't have been prouder of how they had turned out.

The two then walked into a borders bookstore and went over to the coffee shop, blade then pulled out his wallet.

"hey, I'll have a coffee and a pumpkin scone" he said as he then turned to jack "you want anything?". Jack glanced up at the list of things that they had, he knew that he shouldn't be so depressed as he and blade were going to go look for pinkie pie so that alone gave him some hope "I'll...I'll have a mocha frap, and a chocolate chip muffin".

"ok, do you two want all that here or to go?" the employee asked.

"we'll have it here" blade said.

"ok, your total comes to 4.78$", blade then pulled out some cash and handed it over to him as the employee got there things and handed them over "thank you very much" he said "and I must say that your friend is very lucky to get the last muffin".

Blade and jack looked at each other then turned to the employee "why is that?" blade asked him, the employee then removed his glasses as he then cleaned them "well because we have a regular that comes here every morning and gets a chocolate chip muffin" he said "I hope that she doesn't find out that you got the last one".

Jack then smiled a bit "well if she asks who got it, I will be more than happy to share with her, what does she look like?".

The employee tapped his head with his finger in thought "hmm, well she has pink hair, blue eyes, light skin but not to light, and she wears over the top dresses" he said, jack raised his eyebrow at the word pink hair "she has pink hair?" he said.

"mhm, her name is Katherine Jackson, she's a very sweet and kind girl, with a very ummm...how should I put this. She has a very hyperactive personality" he said, jack could only blink as he opened his mouth "umm, w-when will she be here?".

The employee then tapped his fingers on the counter "hmmmm, you know I'm not really sure. I think that she comes in around-" he stopped talking as he looked at the side door "oh speak of the devil her she is now", blade and jack then both turned around to see a girl with pink Curley hair wearing a long sleeve pink and white shirt with a black sleeveless shirt under it, and short Jean pants and blue and yellow shoes. Jack's heart started to beat faster and faster as he starred at her "she is so cute" he thought as she skipped over to the counter.

"hello!" Katherine said.

"hey Kathy, what's up?".

Katherine smiled brightly "oh nothing much, just enjoying my time with my new family" she said "but other than that I'm good". The employee smiled "well I hope that this family is better than your other family that took you in", Katherine nodded in agreement "I know!, my other parents were mean, they didn't feed me or give me anything to wear!", as katherine was having her conversation blade and jack were sitting in a table a few feet away "hmm did you hear that?" blade said to jack who was eating his food.

"what?" jack said.

"that girl Katherine said that she was taken in by another family, looks like your girl pinkie pie is a foster child". Jack swallowed his food as he heard blade talk "well if she's a foster child, then I guess that means that her parents are either dead or they abandoned her", blade nodded at him "right, so now the question is? How are we gonna get close to her?. As the the two pondered up an idea Katherine was still having her conversation with he employee "so then I ate this huge tub of ice cream and then I had this super super cold brain freeze! It was so weird!" the employee nodded at her "well that can happen when you eat too much ice cream" he said, Katherine shook her head rapidly "anyway, do you have any chocolate chip muffins?" she asked.

The employee shook his head at her "sorry katherine but I already handed out the last one, sorry". Katherine was a bit upset by this "awww, that's a let down" she said, the employee then patted her shoulder "hey now, it's not a total loss" he said "in fact, the person that I sold it to is over there in the table next to the window with a friend of his". The employee then pointed over to the table.

As Katherine looked at the table he was pointing at she spotted the person that was eating her muffin. Katherine was a bit surprised to see how cute he was "w-who is that? I've never seen him before and I know everyone in the city" Katherine said, the employee shrugged "don't know, he never said. But if I were you, I would go over there and as-" he stopped talking to see that Katherine was walking over to the boys "man that girl is weird, but in a good way" he thought.

"oh hello" Corey said "what brings you all to the part of tow-" Corey's words were then stopped as the police officer then pinned him to the ground as he pulled out his handcuffs and placed them on him "sir, you are under arrest" the officer said. Corey then turned his head at him "for what?", the officer then picked him up "for the kidnapping of the walters daughter" he said.

"wait! You have it all wrong, one i've been here this whole time!" he said. The officer only ignored his plea "that's what they all say son". Corey then looked at Janice's father who had an angry scowl on his face, "sir please listen to me. I didn't kidnap your daughter" he said "she came over to my house last night", Janice's father then socked him across the face "shut your mouth you poor ungrateful bastered!" he snapped.

Corey was about to protest until they all heard the bedroom door open wide "Corey darling what's wrong?" Janice said as she had on some old clothes on that she had found in Corey's dresser, both of her parents were speechless at what they saw. Janice looked at them as she rubbed her eyes a bit waking herself up, she then looked over at the police officer and saw him arresting Corey as she then held her hand over her mouth "Corey!" she yelled as she ran over to him only to be stopped by her parents "no! Don't you go near that monster Janice!" her father said. Her mother held onto her as she was crying "oh my god! What he done to my little girl!" she cried.

Janice was trying to reach out to Corey as the officer then looked at him darkly "you make me sick " the officer said as he carried the boy to his car "the three of you will have to come with me to the station, so we can look over your daughter to see if she has any scars on her body". Corey rolled his eyes "you have to be kidding me", the officer then opened the car door and threw him inside "silence! Will see what the judge has to say about this!". The officer then turned to the family to see Janice crying as her parents were behind her "I'm sorry mister and miss Walters" he said "but I'm afraid that your going to have to ride in the back with the criminal". Janice's parents sighed as they got into the back of the police car as the officer then got in and drove to the police station.

As they were on there way to the station Corey was sitting next to the window as he glanced over to Janice who was glancing back at him as her parents were next to her side, Corey looked down at his feet as he closed his eyes in sadness. Janice was upset about what was happening to him as she then tried to move her right hand over to him, as she got a little closer to him her mother stopped her "don't even get near that rapist" she said as she held onto her. Janice tried to wiggle out of her mother's grip "let me go!" she said, her father held her by her chin "look! We don't know what that boy did to you? But I don't want you to ever see him again! And I want you to never speak of his name! Do you understand me!" he said. Before Janice could respond they all then heard the officer scream "HOLY SHIT!" he yelled as another car came at them at high speed. Corey then leaned over and pulled his arms over Janice as the car crashed into them.

In front of her stood a light pony that was wearing

A white outfit that had gold, blue, and purple designs on it. She also had a seashell cutie mark as well, rarity quickly got her composure "sapphire shores! The pony of pop!" she said in a stunned voice, sapphire shores walked inside the shop as she smiled at rarity.

"hello miss rarity" she said as she looked around as rarity followed her.

"oh miss shores. D-do what do I owe the pleasure of helping you with?" she asked her. Sapphire turned around to rarity "well if it's not too much trouble. I would kind of like to ask for a dress to be made for me. So I can look my best for the grand galloping Galla whoo!” She said in a excited tone, rarity smiled as she then got her pencil and notebook for her to sketch out the design that Sapphire wanted.

Sapphire cleared her throat as she then started to speak "well I would like he dress to be light and a tiny bit dark around the edges. And to have a few gems. One of each around the neck. Oh and a sapphire necklace as well" she finished.

Rarity finished up drawing what sapphire wanted, "and done" rarity said as she then turned the notebook around to show her the dress. Sapphire looked at her drawing of what rarity drew and nodded at her "oh yeah! Now that's a dress that will shine!" she shouted.

Rarity smiled as she then placed her notebook on the table "we will have your dress finished as soon as possible" she said, this caught sapphires attention "we?" she said.

"mhmhm" rarity said as she then turned to the other room "Corey darling".

Corey then walked into the other room as he was holding a drawing notebook in his hand and his pen in the other, he then turned to rarity "yes love?" he said making her blush.

"could you be a dear and fetch me my gems. One of each color out of the extra room next to the silk please" she said. Corey nodded as he then walked to get the gems, as soon as he left she then turned to sapphire who had a very satisfied look on her face.

"oh miss shores. Is something the matter?" rarity asked her a bit worried.

Sapphire shores gently shook her head "oh no. It's nothing wrong at all. I just never knew that one of those humans were living with you. To be honest he looks very handsome if I do say so myself" she finished, rarity could only turn her head as she tried to hide the large blush on her face. Sapphire then placed a hoof on rarity as she then looked at her "hehehe. There's no need to hide your feelings about him around me. Unlike most celebrity ponies I'm very down to equestira".

Rarity smiled hearing this from sapphire, as if almost they were like best friends or something. Sapphire continued "you know your one lucky mare to have found a stallion like him.”

"thank you miss sapphire shores" rarity said with glee.

"oh don't worry about it. Well I would love To chat with you more. But I have to be going. But I can't wait to see the wonderful dress that you have finished for me. I know that it will be sensational!" she said as she walked out of the shop.

The bar owner then walked up to her and laid his elbows on the table "ummm miss. I think you had enough to drink" he said.

Lucy then slammed the shot glass down making it crack "I still need more" she demanded, the bar owner just shook his head "come on lady. I'm on my last bottle. You have completely drank over four hundred and sixty two shots of whisky. And you still want more. How in the hell do you hold that all down?".

"I'm fucking magic that's how".

The owner sighed "man. You must have had some break up huh?" he asked her.

"I have a boyfriend".

"then why are you drinking so much then?".

"a family member of mine is dead".

"shit. I'm sorry about that".

"it's fine. It's kinda my fault that he's gone".

"what was your family members name?".

"clayton. He was my.....little baby brother" Lucy said in a upset tone.

"Clayton huh. Man you must really miss him".

"yea......I do".

"mind telling me what he was like. I mean if you want".

Lucy then hiccuped as she looked at her empty shot glass, "he was kind, reckless, wild, fearless, always full of energy, a real good friend, and he was always close with his cousin" she finished.

The bar owner smiled "wow. Sounds like he was a good kid".

"yea...he was. Hmmm I wonder what my cousin is up to?".

"oh I think I can answer that" a voice said.

The two then turned around to see that it was Adam in the entrance, Lucy then blinked at him "uncle Adam. What are you doing in town? I thought you were not coming back" she said. Adam then started to walk into the bar over to her "oh I just wanted to see how everyone is doing. I finally got to see my son. Although he was not very happy to see me" he said "but we got along just fine".

"that's good to hear" Lucy said.

Adam smiled "yea it is. Hey if you want we can go talk to him right now" he suggested, Lucy thought that it would be a good idea to talk with her cousin seeing that him and her brother were extremely close with one another. She then pulled out some money out of her pocket and put it on the front table for the owner "just a little something for ya. And a little extra" she said as she got up from her seat and walked out the door.

The bar owner then looked at the money to see that she had given him $300 dollars and $999 dollar tip, he smiled at the kind act that she had done for him as he put the money in his pocket "how nice of her. Now I can feed my family for a good month" he said to himself, Adam then leaned over to him "yea that is very nice of her" he said. He then pulled out a small knife and stabbed the man in the neck killing him instantly as he then took the money from his pocket as he hit the floor.

The two then stopped at a small shop and looked at the sign that said "gem keepers" in gold on the window, rarity began to smile "ah. Here we are" she said". As they walked to the door Corey grabbed it and opened it for her as he lowered his head a bit "after you my dear" he said making rarity giggle as she walked inside as Corey followed.

As they walked inside they both saw a red and orange pony walk up to the front desk "hello. How can I be of service" she asked, rarity then walked up to her "I would like one of each of your finest gems" she said. The orange pony nodded as she went into the back room to get each gem for her, they waited for a few minutes until she came back out with a large case of gems one of each color.

"here we are mam" the orange pony said as she laid the case in front of her, rarity them looked at all of the gems as Corey stood behind her watching her, rarity smiled as she them picked the gems that she wanted as the store owner got each and every gem for her. After a few hours rarity had a basket full of gems and was extremely happy "oooo. This is wonderful. I'm sure Sapphire shores will love this" she said in excitement, as soon as she walked out Corey was about to follow her until he turned and walked over to the owner who was arranging some gems in a case.

"oh excuse me" Corey said as the owner looked up at him.

"yes?".

"umm. If it's not to much trouble. But could I ask you a question".

The owner raised an eyebrow at him "and that would be?".

"well....I was wondering. Can you make custom necklaces as well?".

The shop owner smiled at him and nodded her head "why of course. I'm not just a gem seller. As a matter a fact this would be a wonderful time to use my jewelry skills. And I think I know what to make for your friend" she said, she then walked into the back room and started getting to work on what she was doing. After a few minutes of waiting she then came back out as she had something covered in a red cloth as she held it with her magic and placed it on the glass counter.

"here you go" she then removed the cloth to revile a gold and platinum necklace that had rarity's cutie mark in the center as it shined brightly "the gems that I used for the center are white frost gems. Extremely rare in ponyville. But very common in canderlot" she said with pride, Corey was amazed by how wonderful it looked "wow this is great. Oh....I don't think I have enough money for it" he said in a sad tone, the owner raised her hoof at him "there is no need to pay for it. I'm giving it to you free of charge".

Corey was stunned by what she just said did she really say that he could have it for free.

"a-are you sure?" he asked.

She nodded and smiled "of course. After all you have a very lovely marefriend. And I think that she would like this gift very much".

Corey smiled at the owner as he hugged her as he then took the necklace and put it in his hoodie as he walked over to the door. "please come again" she said.

"I will. That I promise you" Corey said with a smile as he walked out of the store.

As the figure walked over to it a gypsy pony popped up from the other side of the counter "no no no. No touching of the merchandise" he said as he the pointed at the amulet. "but you do have a very good eye. For this little item is known as the alicorn amulet. A very rare item that can amplify ones magic abilities that are equal to that of princess celestia and princess Luna combined" he said.

The figure then looked at it then at him as the figure then pulled out two large pouches of bits and laid them on the counter, the gypsy pony then looked at the large pouches and smiled "well in that case. I could sell it instead" he said as he looked at the bits inside the pouches then turned to the amulet and pulled it out of the case and placed it to the figure.

The figure then grabbed the alicorn amulet and placed it around it's neck, the figure then looked over to see an equestira newspaper in a glass case as well.

The figure then looked at it and saw what it said as it read the article:

Equetira's mane six bring home some new faces. For the first time we have a new kind of cretures in our town, they are humans. There names are max, Corey, sam, jack, dillon, and" the figure stopped at the last one to see that his face was crossed out with a red pen, the figure turned to the shop owner "excuse me. But why is this last ones face crossed out?".

The gypsy shop keeper pony turned his attention from counting his pay as he walked over to the paper that was cased in glass, "oh....that. Well you see that one is no more. You see the princess of the moon was taken hostage by an army of alicorns and a war was issued. That human helped out with rescuing the princess albeit with losing his life in the prossess" he finished.

"and the citizens. Do they miss him deeply?".

"indeed. It has been four weeks of his passing".

The figure then turned to him " I would like two things".

"very well. I'm listing".

"I would like this paper. And I would like to know if this amulets power can bring back anypony from the dead?".

He then shook his head "I'm sorry but that's the one thing that it can't do. However there is one spell that it can do that does involve bringing back somepony back from the dead. But why would you want to know about that may I ask?".

The figure then placed another pouch of bits on the counter "because I have an idea for such a spell. And with it I shall become famous once again".

The shop keeper then laid the paper in front of the figure "here you go. And I hope that everything is to your liking umm I'm sorry what is your name?".

The figure then pulled down the hood reviling itself to him.

"it's trixie".

As Corey was walking he looked around canderlot to see if he could find rarity, as he was looking for her gently glanced at the other ponies who were giving him looks and whispering with one another. "jeez what's with them. Haven't they ever seen anyone of a different race before?" he thought to himself, as he was in his own train of thought he didn't see the pony that was in front of him as they both then bumped into each other and fell back.

Corey landed on his back as he quickly got up "oh man" he then looked at the pony in front of him "oh hey I'm sorry about that" he kindly said.

The pony that he had ran into had blond hair, a blue bow tie, and a white mane, a horn, and a compass rose cutie mark. "watch were your going you peasant" he said as he got to his hoofs, Corey got up as well "hey sorry. It was an accident", the unicorn than huffed at him "accident or not. I will not have a poor dirty peasant ruin my mane" he said in a snobbish tone.

Corey was starting to get a little annoyed with the guy "look whatever man. I'm not here to start anything with you. Now if you excuse me I need to get back to my girlfriend so I can give her the gift that I got her", as soon as Corey walks past him the unicorn places his hoof I'm front of him stopping Corey in his tracks.

Corey really didn't have time fro this has he wanted to get back to rarity as soon as possible "what now?" he asked him. The unicorn then lowered his hoof back to his side "I would like for you bow to me" he said.

Corey just blinked at him "uhhh....you want me to what now?".

"I want you to bow to me for bumping into me".

"bow to you for" he sighs "look pal. I get that your one those guys that can't really take a simple sorry. I don't bow to anyone" he said, this made the unicorn look directly at him with a glare "one of those guys! Surly you can't be comparing me to those worthless poor peasants of ponyville are you?" he asks him.

Corey scratches his head "i don't know. I guess I am".

The unicorn then has a shocked look on his face "how dare you! I demand that you take that back immediately! Do you not know who I am!".

"nope. And to be honest I really don't care. Now good day sir" Corey said as he then started to walk away from the unicorn only to be stopped in his tracks again but this time by a magical force. "hey! What the!" he said as he looks at his feet to see that he can't move as he hears someone walk in front of him only to see that it's the same unicorn.

"oh it's you. Hey can ya let me go please. I really have to be somewhere. And let me tell ya my girl doesn't like to wait" Corey said, the unicorn only looks at him unamused as he gently sakes his head "not until I receive an apology for what you have said to me" he said. Corey then rubs his face as he is trying really hard not to lose his cool "ok buddy. Look I already said sorry and I said it twice with you. Look if this is something else that you wanna tell me. Then I'm sorry to tell you that I don't go that kind of way" he said.

the unicorn gasps as he then points at him "are you calling me a homosexual?" he asks him in a stern tone.

Corey nods at him "well in a way ya. Plus ya kinda look like it too. No offense" he said "but hey if your into that kind of stuff I respect that. But I'm straight and I already have someone. So as much as I like your persistence I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pass" he finished.

The unicorn then shoots him another glare as he then leans up to his face "you sir should show some manners to royalty when you see it. Have you no shame into who you are talking to".

Corey just looks at him "right...royalty. Ummm who are you by any chance?" he asks him.

The unicorn then raises his hoof at the humans chest "I am prince blueblood. A member of the royal family of equestira" he said.

Corey then looks at him and blinks "wait prince blueblood. The prince blueblood that is the nephew of princess celestia and princess Luna?" he asks him, prince blueblood smiles and nods "yes the very same peasant".

Corey then starts to laugh as blueblood looks at him puzzled "what is so funny peasant?".

Corey then tries to stop laughing "hahahhahah! I'm sorry it's just that. Your name prince blueblood".

"what about my name peasant?".

"it sounds gay".

Blueblood gasps at him "it is in any way not!".

"uhh dude. Ya it is".

"this is outrages. To be insulted by a loathsome peasant in front of royal canderlot ponies".

Corey tries to calm him down "woah woah. Settle down there prince blue balls" Corey said, prince blueblood starts to twitch a bit "what. Did. You. Call. Me?" he asks him, Corey just looks at him "what? I just called you prince blue balls. I mean it's just a little harmless nickname".

"harmless! That is very harmful! To be called that by a peasant!".

"well like i said. It's just a nickname. I am by no means trying to hurt you by calling you that. Now would you please kindly let me go. I don't want to keep my young lady waiting".

Blueblood shakes his head again "not until I receive my apology".

"for what?".

"for bumping into me, for insulting me, and for not bowing in front of me. Which I will also want you to do as well".

"well then. Let me sum that up for you into two options for ya" he then raises up his fingers in front of blueblood " number one I'm a human. Number two fuck your bowing and your high satus", before blueblood was about to protest again the boys then heard a voice call out to one of them.

"Corey!".

Corey looks over to see it was rarity as she quickly walks up to him and nuzzles his face "oh Corey there you are. I thought I had lost you. When I turned around and saw that you weren't behind me. I started getting worried and looked all over for you" she said with a worried look on her face, Corey then kisses her cheek as he smiles at her "don't worry Hun. I'm here and I won't leave your side. I was going to get to asap. But I ran into this guy here". Rarity looks over at the other pony and quickly sees that it's blueblood.

"oh...you" she said as she raises her head up.

"miss rarity" blueblood said as let go of Corey as he then stood next to her.

"so. This is the young lady that you were referring to is it?" blueblood asked the human.

"yes. This is my lovely and beautiful young lady that I love so much" Corey said as he holds rarity and kisses her making her blush "hehehe. Stop it Corey. Your embarrassing me" she said as she nuzzled her face into his chest, Corey smiles at her as he then looks at blueblood who has a look of dissatisfaction on his face. "something wrong blue balls?" Corey asks him.

Prince blueblood huffs at him "ugh. To think that you and miss rarity are a pair. Is beyond disgusting".

Corey gives him a serious look "what does that mean?".

"it means that seeing pony such as miss rarity with an creature of another race with a pony. Is how would you put it...unattractive".

Corey then points his finger at him "hey! Watch it prince blue balls! Don't you even say anything bad about rarity. You say to me in my face! But never and I mean never insult my marefriend ever!", blueblood was taken back a bit until he quickly got his composure "well it is a fact. I mean a lady such as her having an infatuation with a...thing from were ever you came from is just disgraceful".

Rarity then moves her head out from Corey's chest and looks at blueblood "disgraceful! I will have you know that Corey is the best gentlepony anypony could ask for. He is sweet, kind, charming, selfless, and very romantic. He is everything that you are not blueblood" she finished. Prince blueblood was unamused at her comment as he then simply walked past them "well. At least I don't stain my family's good name. By falling in love with such a ill mannered dirty peasant. I'm sure your family is so proud of you" he said as he walked away from them, rarity had her mouth drop as she then had tears start to form around her eyes "how dare you!" she said as she tried to hold back her crying.

Corey then holds rarity close letting her cry into his hoodie as he then picks her up and turns around and yells "you son of a bitch! I swear if I ever see you again blue balls I'm kicking your ass! Nobody and I mean nobody gets away with insulting rarity! You hear me you prince blue balls! Nodbody!". He sees prince blueblood out of his line of sight as he then looks at rarity in his arms "darling. Are you alright?" he asks her as he lifts her head up and sees her mascara come down her face, "how dare prince blueblood say that. He is the most ruddiest, most heartless pony ever" she said.

Two ponies then walked in as they had brought in bandages and super glue "oh nurse readheart and nurse tenderheart. Oh thank celestia. What happened to him?" rarity said with a look of worry on her face. 

"I'm not really sure dear. But we need to get these bandages onto him and fast before he dies of blood loss" nurse redheart said "nurse tenderheart could you please help me remove the blood stained covers" she asked, "sure thing" nurse tenderheart said.

They both went on each side of the bed and pulled the sheets off of dillon. The main eleven all had there mouths drop in pure shock as they all saw that dillon was missing his right arm, the boys covered the girls eyes so they didn't have to see the gruesome scene. The two nurses started patching up the missing limb and his left eye and his ribcage to stop the bleeding, as they finished up they turned to the group "you can look now. Were done" nurse redheart and tenderheart said in unison.

"fluttershy sure is a lucky mare to have a stallion like him" nurse tenderheart said "I really hope that we can make him feel better".

Everyone sighed in relief hearing the good news as nurse tenderheart walked up to them from the other room "yes he is. The operation was a huge success. Your friend was very lucky. We had to replace his heart as quickly as we could Because of all the wounds that it was getting. We were able to get his bones back in place with out the use of opening them up thank celestia. We also healed up all of his wounds and none of them got worse" she said happily "he just needs some rest for a few months and he will be good as new".

"oh I'm sorry if I had to stop you two. But sadly visiting hours are over" she said.

They all walled up to the front desk and saw nurse tenderheart doing some paperwork, max then knocked on the front desk.

She then stopped what she was doing and turned around to face them "oh hello everyone. How are you all today?" she asked. Fluttershy smiled at her "o-oh were f-fine thank you. Ummm..I-is it alright if we see d-dillon?".

Nurse tenderheart nodded at her "of course dear. Please follow me"

As he was walking looking at the ground he didn't notice the pony that was in front of him as he bumped into her, they both fell onto the ground as dillon rubbed his head "gezz that hurt" he then looked over in front of him as he saw a grey pony with a black mane and tail, and a pink bow tie around her neck.

He quickly got to his feet and picked her back up to her hoofs. "oh man. I am so sorry. Are you hurt?" he asked her, the grey pony dusted herself of as she looked over her body to see of any damage was done to her, "I believe I'm alright. Thank you for helping me" she said.

Dillon shrugged "hey. What are friend's for" she then chuckled a bit as she smiled at him " oh were are my manners. My name is octavia. And who are you?". Dillon then pointed at himself "my name is dillon", she then looked at him with an even bigger smile.

"y-your..your him! Your one of humans that helped save princess Luna" she then jumped and hugged him around his waist."ohhh. I have so many questions to ask you", dillon petted her head "well that's cool to hear that you heard of me and I would be happy to answer your questions. But you see...right now I'm in sort of a problem".

Octavia then let go of his waist as she looked up at him "what is the problem ".

"well you see. I came up here to canderlot so that I may find a job. But it turns out that everypony is not hiring at this time. So I'm kinda out of luck".

Octavia then raised up her hoof.

"as a matter a fact your in luck. I'm actually in need of somepony to help me with my music so that I may play it for the grand galloping Galla next month. If you would like to. I would be more than happy to have you work with me".

This was all dillon had to hear as he then said the one word that he wanted to say, "yes. It's a deal Octavia. When do I start?". She smiled "you start on Saturday at eight". She then started to walk past him as she then turned around "don't be late this weekend. And be sure to promise me something as well", he turned around to face her.

"sure. What's the promise?".

"to tell me stories about your friends and of your world".

She then walked down the street from his view as dillon watched her leave his line of sight, he smiled to himself seeing that he got what he came for as he then walked down the other side of the street and on his way home to fluttershy.

Max was at vinyl scratches door as he looked up at her door then at the window that said "help wanted". He took a huge breath as he then walked inside, he looked around in the house to see a dj player, piles of notes, some music equipment, and a few record discs on the floor.

As he was looking around the place he then heard somepony come downstairs, he looked over to the steps to see a white pony with a blue mane and tail and a music note cutie mark on her flank. She then walked up to the human and looked at him "hey what's up" she said to him as she then extended her hoof at him, he leaned down and grabbed her hoof and shook it gently as he looked into her red eyes.

"umm hi" max said as he sounded a little nervous in his voice, after they finished there small greeting vinyl then walked up to her desk and used her magic from her horn as she put her sunglasses on her face. "so. What can I do for ya my friend?" vinyl asked him.

Max then rubbed his neck as he then gulped and tried to think of the words that he wanted to say.

"umm well..y-you see. I was looking for a job and I saw that you were in need of someone" he finished. Vinyl then raised her sunglasses with her hoof "oh yea. I totally forgot about that. I've been so busy with my music that I am in need of somepony to help me out" she said, "you know you would fit in for the position. What do ya say? You wanna be my assistant?".

Max's face lit up as he picked up vinyl scratch and hugged her "what do I say. I say you got yourself an assistant!" he said as he had a huge smile on his face, vinyl laughed as he put her back down "hehe. Ok then. Looks like I will see you tomorrow morning" she said "don't be late", max nodded at her as he then turned to the door and ran to the library to tell twilight and spike the good news.

Mr and mrs cake looked out the window and stared at the two in worry, mr. Cake sighed "oh I just can't stand to see them like this hunny bun" ms. cake Nodded in agreement "yes I know dear. I've never seen pinky pie like this before. why would somepony do that to another pony and not feel guilty for what they did?" ms.cake said, mr.cake just sighed "I don't know dear. But if anypony can do something like that and not feel any sort of guilt what so ever then they must not have a heart".

Pinky pie, mr and mrs cake, pumpkin cake, and pound cake were waiting outside for jack to come home.

Pinky pie was jumping up and down as she she was trying to calm herself "oooo. I hope Jackie gets here soon. I really really really wanna hug him".

Mrs.cake smiled at how pinky pie was acting "oh don't worry dear. I'm sure that he'll be here in a second".

The five of them then see jack and babs seed walking up to the store, as soon as jack is within her sight pinky pie zooms right at him knocking him over as she holds onto him.

Business was slow in the shop as jack had his head on the table as pumpkin cake was playing with his hair, he raised his head up a little and looked at her as she kept messing his hair up.

"having fun?" he asked.

Pumpkin cake only poked his face as she giggled in her fun, jack smiled at her as she went back to playing with his hair. Mrs.cake walked into the room to see the two.

"oh how wonderful to see the two of you playing together" she said "oh it makes me smile".

"I'm happy to be of service" he said.

"oh you. We couldn't ask for a better friend than you. I'm just so happy that pinky pie has found such a wonderful and loving merefriend" she finished, this made jack blush as he heard her words.

"thanks" he said still blushing.

"no problem at all. Although I might have to warn you about one thing".

Jack then raised his head "what is it?".

Mrs. Cake then rubbed her head "well our little pumpkin cake has A habit of chewing on things".

"really like wha-" jack stopped as he felt his right hand was covered in some sort of goo like liquid, he then slowly turned his head to see that pumpkin cake was holding his hand as she was sucking on his fingers.

Mrs.cake saw this and tried her best not to laugh at jack's facial expression "oops. Too late" she said as she walked over to the two and past them into the other room

After a few partying for a bit pinky pie, mr. And mrs.cake brought out a cake in the shape of a wonderbolt pony and placed it on a table, spike then walked up to her and gave her a gem that he had made to look like a wonderbolt, she took the give that he had gave her and hugged him "thanks little guy" she said.

"no problem". He said as he let go of her.

Scootaloo then nodded at him as they all walked outside to the school yard, Clayton then saw some old wooden boxes and hatched an idea. "miss cheerilee. could you do me a favor please?" she looked up at him "yes what would that be?" he then pointed to the boxes "could you buck those boxes at me please?", she was a little puzzled at his suggestion but she kindly walked over to them and stood next to them waiting for his signal.

Diamond tiara and silver spoon then whispered "what is he going to do with those?".

"I don't know but It sounds like a stupid idea to me".

"yea unless he wants to get hit with those boxes as his part of his trick".

Both of them then laughed but soon stopped when they heard Clayton tap his foot at them, "you know I heard all of that. And no getting hit with those boxes is not part of my stunt ladies. But to start things off I'm going to teach you a lesson. First off girls what do like in life?".

"being better than everyone else" they said in unison.

"and what do you see everypony around you as?".

"a loser" diamond tiara said as she then pointed to the cutie mark crusaders.

"and you think that by treating everyone else as losers you think that should feel like that?".

Both sliver spoon and diamond tiara then smiled and said in unison "yes".

"does that make you happy?".

"yes".

"is that your final answer?".

"yes".

"bad answer girls".

They both looked up at him confused until diamond tiara spoke "but how is that a bad awnswer?".

Clayton then leaned down to them as the other fillies and miss cheerilee looked at him, "because you need to understand that it's not cool to make fun of others. How do you think others would feel if you kept doing that to them every single day?".

"why should we be concerned about that?" silver spoon said in a proud tone making Clayton frown at her.

"because that pony is hurt by your words and your mocking of them. You have to understand what they are going threw".

Silver spoon pondered about this as she then felt the humans hand on her head "I know that you can change little one. Just try to be nice to other ponies and treat them with love and kind words. Trust me you will feel much better doing that then making fun of them can you do that for me?".

Silver spoon looked up at him still taking the words that he said to her to heart "I..well...I can give it a shot I guess".

"that's what I like to hear".

Jack spots this as he calls out to her "applebloom watch out in front of you!". She looked at him as she then bumped into the other pony in front of her, she falls on her flank Dropping the bag out of her mouth as she then looks up at the pony that she bumped into, she then Saw that she had ran into silver spoon who had a few white and red flowers in a glass box in her saddlebag.

Applebloom then help her up to her feet as she helped her dust off, "hey. Sorry about that".

Silver spoon then adjusted her glasses after she finished dusting herself "oh no it's alright. I was just walking out of the flower shop. I wanted to get some flowers to put at clayton's grave", she then looked at there bags that they got from the Yamato store.

"oh. What's with all that stuff?".

Scootaloo then dashed right in her face pointing her hoof at her.

"look. We were not gonna tell you. We don't want you or diamond tiara to mess with us".

Silver spoon then lowered her hoof down.

"I understand how you feel. Seeing as we only made fun of you and bullied you three in the past. But I have stopped doing that. In fact I would kinda like to join what ever it is that your doing".

The girls then looked at her then at each other, "hold that thought" applebloom said as she then huddled scootaloo and sweetie belle together.

"well. What do we do?" scootaloo asked.

"ah don't know. If what silver spoon says is true. Then I guess we could let her in on our fan club" applebloom said.

"but. She is friends with diamond tiara. What if she is just pretending to be nice to us so that they can make fun of us?" sweetie belle said.

The girls then looked over at silver spoon who was looking at her flowers. They then went back to huddling "ok we'll let her join us. But if she causes trouble then will just ignore her and work on our fan club without her or diamond tiara. Deal girls" applebloom said. The other two thought about it for a bit and nodded as they then broke the huddle and walked over to her, silver spoon was still looking at her flowers.

The three then stood next to her as she then looked at them, applebloom then started to speak.

"ok were gonna let ya join" she said to her.

Silver spoon smiled as she then walked over to jack and looked up at him, "umm may I ask you a question?" she said to him. Jack looked down at her with a smile "sure. Ask away", silver spoon then moved her hoof in a circle on the ground "um well you see. Clayton promised to play with us when he said that he would come back to ponyville. If it's not too much trouble. But could you volunteer to play with us?".

Jack then leaned down to her holding out his arms as he held on to the six bags "I would really I would. But I promised pinky pie that I would go on a picnic with her today. But I think that dillon could be able to play with you guys", silver spoon smiles more as she then looks over at the cutie mark crusaders. They all then walked over to abandoned house as sweetie belle opened the door as they all walked into the house, everyone dropped the bags on the floor gently as scootaloo then began to look through one of the bags while applebloom and sweetie belle looked around the house.

"ok this is perfect. This will be a great place for our fan club" applebloom said. Sweet belle then looked at some of the furniture And saw that it was covered with dust, she then blew some of it off of the couch as some of it flew into the room and made applebloom cough a little bit.

Jack was sweeping up the floor as he looked at them as they then started to clean up some of the furniture in the room. He looked over at silver spoon and saw that she was having a little trouble trying to reach the large bookcase in front of her, he then walked over to her and lifted her up in the air as she then dusted off the bookshelves. A few minutes later they were finished.

"whew. Man I'm happy that were done with this" jack said as he sat on the couch with the fillies, sweetie belle whipped her forehead "yea. I'm happy that we got it all done. Now we just have to get some ponies to join the club". As soon as she began to think of who would join the club silver spoon then taped on her shoulder, "yea silver spoon?".

Silver spoon gulped as she then began to speak "well i would like to be a member" she said with a small hint of glee. The three then looked at each other and then at her "you think you got what it takes to be a member?" scootaloo said, silver spoon nodded as applebloom grabbed her hoof and shook it.

"well congrats. Yer now an official member of the Clayton fan club" applebloom said making silver spoon smile, "oh wait. Can diamond tiara join as well? I mean if that's ok with the three of you". This made the three's smiles fade into frowns. "awwww. Do we have too?" sweetie belle said, scootaloo then placed her hoof on her "yeah. She'll just make fun of us again" she said.

Silver spoon then held up her hoof "acutely your wrong. In fact she has been really upset in the past few days and hasn't come out of her house nor has she talked to me" she finished which caught them by surprise, "really. Think we should go and see her?" jack spoke up. The four then nodded as they then all walked out of the house and over to diamond tiara's house.

"yes she's in her room. But she won't come out of her room. I've tried everything but she refuses to come out" he said sadly, this was upsetting him very much. He had never see his little girl so upset like this in all of his life, the four then looked at him with sad looks on there face "when did this all start?" silver spoon asked him.

Dillon looked at them with a playful look on his face "ok girls what is it that you want to ask me?" he said, silver spoon then walked forward to him "we kind have two things we want to ask you" she then pulled out the glass case holding the flowers that she had bought. As soon as dillon saw them he knew what she was going to ask him, "we wanted to know if you could play with us today" she said as she then looked down at the flowers then back up at him "and...we wanted to know if you could take us to see Clayton".

"scootaloo anything that doesn't involve action is never your style" sweetie belle said to her making scootaloo stick her tongue out at her.

Applebloom then placed her hoofs on her desk "well whatever it is. I know that we will be ready for it".

"well I wouldn't say that. Since the three of you aren't really ready for anything let alone getting your cutie marks" a voice said in the upper desk. Applebloom looked up and saw that it was diamond tiara, "ugh of course that you would say that diamond tiara" applebloom then stuck her tongue out at her as she then huffed and went back to talking with silver spoon.

Scootaloo then nodded at him as they all walked outside to the school yard, Clayton then saw some old wooden boxes and hatched an idea. "miss cheerilee. could you do me a favor please?" she looked up at him "yes what would that be?" he then pointed to the boxes "could you buck those boxes at me please?", she was a little puzzled at his suggestion but she kindly walked over to them and stood next to them waiting for his signal.

Diamond tiara and silver spoon then whispered "what is he going to do with those?".

"I don't know but It sounds like a stupid idea to me".

"yea unless he wants to get hit with those boxes as his part of his trick".

Both of them then laughed but soon stopped when they heard Clayton tap his foot at them, "you know I heard all of that. And no getting hit with those boxes is not part of my stunt ladies. But to start things off I'm going to teach you a lesson. First off girls what do like in life?".

"being better than everyone else" they said in unison.

"and what do you see everypony around you as?".

"a loser" diamond tiara said as she then pointed to the cutie mark crusaders.

"and you think that by treating everyone else as losers you think that should feel like that?".

Both sliver spoon and diamond tiara then smiled and said in unison "yes".

"does that make you happy?".

"yes".

"is that your final answer?".

"yes".

"bad answer girls".

They both looked up at him confused until diamond tiara spoke "but how is that a bad awnswer?".

Clayton then leaned down to them as the other fillies and miss cheerilee looked at him, "because you need to understand that it's not cool to make fun of others. How do you think others would feel if you kept doing that to them every single day?".

"why should we be concerned about that?" silver spoon said in a proud tone making Clayton frown at her.

"because that pony is hurt by your words and your mocking of them. You have to understand what they are going threw".

Silver spoon pondered about this as she then felt the humans hand on her head "I know that you can change little one. Just try to be nice to other ponies and treat them with love and kind words. Trust me you will feel much better doing that then making fun of them can you do that for me?".

Silver spoon looked up at him still taking the words that he said to her to heart "I..well...I can give it a shot I guess".

"that's what I like to hear".

"well you can do that all you want. That kind of thing is not for me".

Clayton looked over at diamond tiara "oh so you think that being nice is not your kind of thing?".

"nope".

"your gonna regret that real soon in a minute".

"why?".

"you'll find out in a minute. But tell me why. Why do you like to make fun of other ponies that are not better than you?".

Diamond tiara then smiled "because it's true. Why do I have make others feel better if they are not like me".

"you mean cold and non caring?".

Diamond tiara was taken back a bit by this.

" well.....".

"try to be kind to others. That's is all I ask for".

"but....".

He wags his finger "no buts my dear. Treat others the way that you would want to be treated. Use kind words of encouragement and help out anyone in need. Can the two of you promise me this?".

Silver spoon nodes at his promise as diamond tiara was still pondering the idea.

"you can do it".

She then looks at the ground.

"but I don't know that I can".

"it never hurts to try".

She stayed silent

"never give up on being kind to another person. Once you keep showering everypony with love and kind words. Then a smile on your face will always shine".

Diamond tiara then looked up at Clayton who then stood up and raised his hand on his swords handle. "ok everypony stand back" he said as he then pulled his katana from his sheath, everypony stood back and stared in awe at his katana seeing the blade shine in the sunlight.

When they got to her room they saw that the door was open, they all walked into the room to see that the curtains were shut and then bed messed up. They walked around the room looking for her as they all then heard a noise from the hallway, they all walked out and looked over to the right side of the hall to see diamond tiara walk out of the bathroom her mane messed up and her face a little wet from washing it from were her tears had stained her face.

Filthy rich then ran over and held his daughter in a loving hug, he looked down at her as he straightened her mane as she looked over at the four fillies in front of her.

"sniff...w-what are you all doing here?".

"were here to see ya" applebloom said.

"why?".

"because we want ya to join our fan club".

"why would I want to do that?".

"because it's a fan club for Clayton".

Hearing this made her sad and happy.

"it is?".

"yea. Were tring to make a fan club in honner of him and we wanted to see if ya wanted to join. Silver spoon has already agreed to join our club" she finished, she then looked at silver spoon who was looking at her with a small smile on her face hoping that she would join. She looked at the floor until her father spoke up "I think that you should join".

She looked up at him her eyes a little watery "but".

Filthy rich then whipped her tears from her face "I think that it would make them very happy" he said with a heart warming smile, she kept looking at him as she then at the four as she then looked at the floor for a bit before she looked up at her father, "ok. ll'l do it" she said.

Filthy rich smiled at her as he hug her gently as she then walked over to them as they all then walked downstairs and to the front door.

They walked going west as the grey clouds above them roared thunder and wind blew against them.

The five fillies looked at there surroundings and were frightened by the sight, "dillon. What is this place?" diamond tiara asked him. He turned his head as he kept walking "this is earth. Well a small part of it. This is a park and what used to be our hang out for my friends and I" he said

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Miss cheerilee then looked over at the door "ah he's arrived right on time" she said with a smile as she got from her seat and walked over to the door, all of the fillies looked at each other with confused looks on there faces.

Scootaloo then raised her head up from her desk a bit "he?".

Applebloom then looked at the door "It must be sam" she then started to smile wide.

"who's that?" scootaloo and sweetie belle said in unison.

Before applebloom could tell then miss cheerilee then walked in front of the class "students I would like for you all to meet somepony. He is from a different world and he has wanted to see all of you today since he told me that he loves children" she said with a bright smile on her face, all of the students then saw Clayton walk into the classroom.

"can we see you do tricks with your thing on your back?".

Clayton smiled warmly at her "well yes I would be happy to. But only on two conditions".

Miss cheerilee then spoke "and what might they be if I may ask?".
 

He turned to her "one that if it is alright with you that I may show them my skills. And two that the children stay back from me doing them as I do not want for them to get hurt in any way", miss cheerilee thought about this for a bit before nodding her head at him. He smiled as he then got from his seat "ok my friends. Time to go outside but first" he then kicked the chair up into the air making it flip four times and land back on it's legs into the corner, All of the fillies were in awe at his stunt even miss cheerilee.

"woah! That was so cool!" scootaloo said in excitement.

"yes it was but don't try to copy what I did. I don't want to be a bad influence on you guys".

Scootaloo then nodded at him as they all walked outside to the school yard, Clayton then saw some old wooden boxes and hatched an idea. "miss cheerilee. could you do me a favor please?" she looked up at him "yes what would that be?" he then pointed to the boxes "could you buck those boxes at me please?", she was a little puzzled at his suggestion but she kindly walked over to them and stood next to them waiting for his signal.

Miss cheerilee then put her hoof over her mouth as she then looked at her fillies that all heard this, "oh no....but we just saw him only today....how...why would anypony want to do that to somepony" she thought as she then glanced over to her right to see the cutie mark crusaders mouths drop to the ground.

As he walked around cloudsdale he then heard his name being called "hey Clayton!" he turned to see derpy hooves fly over to him "hey derpy what's up?". She smiles "oh just enjoying my day off today. What about you?" he scratches his head "meh I'm gonna go visit miss cheerilee and her students. I promised her that I would" derpy then puts her hoofs on his back "well that's good to hear. But I wanna help ya get down to the ground" she said Clayton nodded at her as she then picked him up with her hoofs as they flew down to the ground below he never knew how strong she was, As they landed to the ground derpy let go of him and flew over his head "well I hope you have a great day Clayton" he looked up at her "yea same go's for you too".

As soon as she left he then walked to the school to meet miss cheerilee and her class.

Corey walked inside as he went to a booth and sat down. He then looked at the menu to see what he wanted "hello sir, can I get you something" a waitress said. Corey glanced over at her "oh hi. Umm yes let's see here, I'll have an apple and some water" he said. He then glanced up over his menu to see none other than the same girl that he had saved yesterday.

"excuse me mam".

"yes?".

Corey decided to play stupid "may I ask who that woman is over there?" he asked, the waitress looked over to see the girl as she then turned back to him "you don't know who that is?" she said. Corey shook his head "no I'm afraid not. Who is she?". He waitress then leaned down to his ear "that there is Janice Walters" she said "she is the daughter of a very wealthy family".

"is that so?".

"yes, many boys have been trying to get with her. But her parents won't allow her. They want her to marry man, one of good breeding and high income".

"well then, challenge accepted".

The waitress grinned at him "are you serious? Your really gonna try and get with her?" she said.

Corey then cracked his neck a bit "sure, why not".

"well I wish you luck. I've seen many boys try there chance and they have all failed".

"I won't".

She then rolled her eyes as she then pulled out her notepad "so you wanted an apple and a water right?" she asked him, Corey nodded at her "yes. And one more thing". The waitress raised her eyebrow at him "oh?", Corey smiled "could you get that ravishing young lady over there an apple tea please".

"hehe, getting the lady a drink I see, very classy. I will get your order ready".

As soon as she left Corey then looked out the window as he then glanced at Janice a bit "she really is very beautiful" he thought "but that just makes me want her more", he then saw the waitress come back with his order as she placed it on the table. She then walked over to Janice "hello Janice" she said, Janice was drawing out dress designs as she then stopped and looked over at the waitress "oh hello Alice she said "on your break already?".

Alice smiled at her "nope, just here to bring you an apple tea" she said as she placed it on her table. Janice was a bit surprised, an apple tea was one of her favorite drinks and she knew how expensive they were in stores and the only way to get it cheap was here. "I didn't order this" janice said.

"I know. That gentleman over there did for you", Alice then pointed over to Corey as she looked over at him "that's the boy that saved me from yesterday" she said. Alice looked at her "you know him?".

"well a tiny bit, he saved my life from these two men".

"what! Did they try to hurt you?" she asked her.

"no, they didn't. After he saved me I left my wallet when I took off and he brought it back to me. My father asked him he wanted a reward but he declined and left".

Alice blinked "he declined a reward?".

"that's what I said".

"wow, I'm very surprised. Most people that know of your family always want some kind of reward. Times are hard and people will do what they can to get by" Alice said. Janice nodded in agreement "I know, but my father thinks negatively of him. He thinks that he might have stolen something right from under me".

"well I don't think so, I think he is a nice person".

"I know. Never have I seen a young man act with that kind of generosity before. I find it sadly rare that not many men have it anymore".

Alice then tapped on her lower lip until an idea popped into her head "hey I know. Why don't you ask him out?".

Hearing this made Janice spit her drink out of her mouth "are you mad!? Do you have any idea what my father will do if he finds out that I'm dating him?" she said, Alice simply yawned "well sweetie, sometimes you just gotta rebel against your parents and just say fuck it" she said. Janice did a faceplam "unbelievable" she said, Alice then looked at Corey "well look at it like this. You like him right?".

"a bit".

"and you think he's kind right?".

"well yes".

"and you think that he would be the perfect future husband that you would never ever want to lose from your side ever right?".

"well no, I mean I do think- HEY! you added that last part".

"hehehe, come on you know you wanna marry him".

"Alice I don't even know him, I mean what if he declines my offer?".

"sweetie. There is a saying for things like that, and that saying is called take a chance".

Janice thought about it for a minute until she glanced up at him "well...he is very strapping" she thought "I mean sure his hair is a little scruffy, and his eyes are...well I can't really tell from this range. But his muscles mmmm they looks so ravishing, oh if I could just wrap my arms around his wonderful arms. And his face is charming too, I bet his lips taste heavenly".

Alice then saw janice bitting her lower lip as kept staring at Corey until she snapped her fingers breaking her out of her trance. "huh? What?" Janice said as she looked back up at alice "had fun fantasizing?" she teased.

Janice then covered her blush with her hands "shut up" she said, Alice then walked away from her as she went back to work. Janice then looked at her drink as she then glanced at him again before she then sighed "Alice is right, I should just take a chance. I mean what's the worst that could happen? Besides getting rejected by him" she then shook out all negative thoughts "no, I shouldn't think like that. I've got to try" she then got up from her booth and started to walk over to Corey's. As she walked over to his booth Alice then walked past her accidentally dropping her pen on the ground, as Janice then stepped on it causing her to lose her balance and fall right onto Corey.

There was a large crash catching everyone's attention. Alice turned around to see what had happened "oh my gosh! Janice are you o-" Alice stopped talking as she covered her mouth at the sight before her.

As she walked through her peers she was approached by some of her friends from school "hey Janice" one of her friends said.

"hey Emily".

"so how is the rich live treating you?" Nina said.

Janice smiled at them "it's great. The same as always".

"man. I wish I was rich just like you" Nina said.

"not to mention how good looking she is" emily said "I mean all of the guys want you".

Janice huffed "they only want me for my body" she said, Emily then rolled her eyes "well Hun look at you, your a BOMBSHELL!".

Nina agreed with her "emily's right. You have the greatest body in the whole school, your the most popular girl ever". Janice sighed. She really wished that everyone would just like her for her personality and not just her rich status and her body, she then walked out of the living room as she walked into the kitchen to get herself a drink.

Everyone from all over new port city was in the crowd gathered as they all waited for the speaker to show himself. "so. Who do you think will be here to give this so called speech huh?" one man said.

"I don't know. Says here on this flyer that I got in the mail today that were having some guy by the name of Vincent night shadow give us this speech. If ya ask me this guy sounds like a joke", another man turned around to face him "I agree with you. I mean what kind of name is Vincent night shadow. Must be real waste of time if you ask me".

As they all landed in the center of ponyville the commander of the royal guards turned to everypony.

"alright. We may have gotten the residents out of ponyville. But that doesn't mean that everypony is evacuated. So I want everypony to search high and low to find any other pony. Got it!".

"got it!" they all shouted in unison.

The commander nodded as they all then scattered around the burning town, Clayton and rainbow dash stuck together as they checked each and every home to see if anypony was still in danger.

They all nodded as they then heard another pony's voice: “HELP!".

The royal guard turned his head "that sounded like my commander" he said.

They ran over to him as Clayton lifted him up "are you alright?" rainbow dash asked him.

The commander nodded "yes. Just a bit in pain but it should be nothing" he said, rainbow dash nodded at him until suddenly the three of them then started to hear the clocktower start to come down above them.

spike was walking out of a shop with a bag at his side as he then turned to the shopkeeper.

"you take care spike".

"don't worry I will".

"and tell your new friends I said hi".

"I will".

"I'm sorry to hear about what happened to one of them".

"yeah.....me too".

Everyone ran into the hospital and up to the front desk, a nurse doctor pony was at the desk "how may help you?" she asked, "were here to see dillon asap" fluttershy said.

The nurse then had a look of worry on her face "oh dear. Well...alright I shall take you to him". She then walked from the desk and down the hallway.

They all then stopped at the infirmary as she then turned to the group "he's in here", she then opened the door letting the group inside. 

"still think your something special!?" she asked another Pegasus as she wobbles her legs "n-no mam" she said in a nervous voice.

The mailpony smiled at her as he then pulled out a letter out of his carrying bag "got a letter here for rainbow dash" he said as he held it out for her

As the two ran over to the buildings entrance they were soon stopped by the police "hold on now you" he said "this is a off limits zone, you can't enter here".

"fuck that! I need to help Katherine!" jack screamed.

The officer then started to pull him back "don't worry kid we got this under control, now just stand back with the other civilians alright".

As the main eleven were still talking with each other one of the waiters came up to them.

"are you all ready to order?".

"yup I think so? You guys all ready to order our food?" max asked the group.

They all nodded at him as he then turned around to face the waiter "yea were ready", the female waitress pulled out a pen and a piece of paper as she then looked at him waiting for his order.

"I will have the flower salad" max said "and a bowl of fruit for the guys. And hay sandwiches for the girls".

"ok coming right up" she then walked away from the table as they went back to talking

A receptionist saw her and greeted her kindly.

"hello ms. Lucy. Wonderful day that we are having" she finished with a smile.

One of the men who Clayton already knew all to well snarled and spited at the ground.

"oh great it's the katana wielding freak. And look he' got a rainbow haired whore with him"

as the three walked in they were greeted by the store clerk "howdy Jamie" the store owner said. "hey there, how have ya been?".

"oh this and that, nothing much around here" the owner said, Jamie nodded at him "that's fine, hey if it's not too much trouble. But we kinda need some parts for the farm" she said, the owner rubbed his face before returning an answer "ah, so you all finally got some money to fix up the farm eh?" he asked.

Jamie nodded at him "sure do, well my friend here does" she said as she pointed to him "he said that he's gonna pay for all the stuff that we need to repair the farm with", the man looked at blade and smiled "well aren't you the kindest thing" the man said. Blade shrugged "meh, it's the least I could do". The owner then went to the back to get the supplies for Jamie so she could take them back to the farm, after blade paid for the equipment and the three headed back home.

Max woke up as he stared at the bar keeper "hey, you might want to tone down the snoring please" he said "I wouldn't want any of these people in here to mess with just because your trying to get some sleep", max nodded at him sheepishly as he plopped his head back on the table going back to sleep. The bar keeper smiled at him as he went back to work.

 "well well look what we got here" a female voice said.

Rainbow dash and the row of pegasus ponies then turned there attention to see a bright yellow Pegasus and two other Pegasus with her as she walked to them.

The yellow pony was none other than spitfire as she walked looking straight and not eyeing her new members "bet you all think that your wonderbolt material don't ya?" she asked them, "yes mam!" they all shouted in unison.

She then turned around and walked past them again "think you got what it takes to be an elite flyer?" she asked them "yes mam!" they all shouted again, she then walked up to one of the ponies "well then let me be the first to tell you" she then pokes her hoof at the ponies chest "YOU DON'T! If you had what it took to be an elite flyer then you would already be a wonderbolt!" she then goes to another pony in the line "still think your something special!?" she asked another Pegasus as she wobbles her legs "n-no mam" she said in a nervous voice.

Spitfire then looks over at the muscular pony as she looks at him with a glare making him sweat in fear and nervousness, she then looks at his wings to see that they are extremely small. She then hovers over him as she has her hoofs at her sides "you think your hot stuff?" the muscular pony then leans down in fear as spitfire then turns her attention to rainbow dash.

"you look like the worst flyer in the whole academy" spitfire said as she eyed rainbow dash up and down "you'd probably quit after the first day". "no mam! I never quit mam!" rainbow dash shouted, spitfire smiled at her as she then looked over to see the symbol from clayton's jacket on her saddle bag. Spitfire then smiled more "she has his insignia" she thought as she then walked over to the next pony.

"ah! What about you. Bet you couldn't fly past the first flag pole without getting winded" spitfire said, the green pony then smirked at her "try me mam" she said in smart tone.

Spitfire then moved her sunglasses down from her face a bit "what's that?" she said as rainbow dash then looked over to them "let me show you what I've got mam" the green pony said "fine. You want a chance to prove yourself huh?".

"yes mam".

Spitfire then moved her sunglasses back on her face "well then. Now's you chance. GIVE ME 500 LAPS! ALL OF YOU!" she shouted making the other ponies except rainbow dash grown "NOW!" spitfire shouted as she then blew her whistle for them to start. Rainbow dash and the green pony both flew high into the air first as the the others followed them.

A few hours had passed as they were still doing there laps one of the ponies tried to speed up but a huge deck of speed pasted by her making dust kick up causing her to stop and catch her breath along with spitfire and her officer ponies. As they caught there breath spitfire then looked at her stopwatch "499" she said.

Rainbow dash smiled "one more lap to go!" she said as she looked over at the green pony "you're on!" she said as they both zoomed at lighting speed trying to out beat the other, they both passed right through spitfire as she looked at her watch again "500!" she shouted as the two ponies stopped.

The two smiled at each other as they then saw spitfire walk past them "not bad. For a couple of newbies" she said as she smiled at them and walked away, rainbow dash then turned to the green pony "names lighting dust" she said "rainbow dash". The two then did a wing high five "wanna grab some grub in the mess hall?" lightning dust asked her, rainbow dash smirked at her "defiantly" she said as they both walked to the mess hall "oh hang on. Let me go grab my bag" lightning dust said as she ran over to get her yellow and blue saddle bag

Everypony was gathered as spitfire and her officers were standing behind a giant sheet, " the wonderbolts are the fastest, best persuasion flyers in the world!" spitfire said "a spinout can still happen. And when they do. A wounderbolt must be able to recover quickly.,” she then nodded at one of the officers as he then pulled down the sheet showing a huge spinning wheel with a harness on a single gear "this...is the dizzatron. It's gonna make you very I repeat very dizzy. Your task is to try to recover and fly straight again as soon as possablie. Once you have recovered you must come in for a smooth landing" she finished.

She then walked over to the group "now who's first?" she asked, rainbow dash and lightning dust then quickly raised there hoofs. "you" she said as she walked over to a pink pony "your up", "m-me?" she said as she looked over spitfire's side to see the huge machine and started to get nervous as she gulped.

"NOW!" spitfire shouted as the pink Pegasus then dashed past her and flew up into the seat. Spitfire then looked at her "ready?" she asked her, the pinky Pegasus then looked over to her right and to her left and she looked back at spitfire "yes mam" she said as she placed her goggles over her eyes, spitfire then looked over at her other officer "GO!" she yelled as he pulled the leaver starting the dizzatron.

The wheel started to spin as it spun the pegasus over and over again "release!" spitfire shouted as the officer pony stopped the dizzatron as it then flung her into the air. She spun and spun until she was able to get control of herself as she then flew down to the runway and landed at spitfire's feet as she fainted "heh 15 seconds. Decent but I wouldn't go riding home about it. Who's next?".

Rainbow dash then raised her hoof up "alright rainbow dash. Let's what ya got".

"yes mam!" she shouted as she flew into the the harness and pulled her goggles over her eyes, spitfire then hit her stopwatch "ok go!" she said as the officer pony started up the machine again. Spitfire watched as she then looked over at the officer "release!".

The dizzatron then flung rainbow dash as she spun in the air until she quickly gained her control and flew back down to the runway passing spitfire "6 seconds. That's an academy recoded" she said, rainbow dash then land back into her spot as the pink Pegasus pony smiled at her "you made it look so easy" she said to her. Rainbow dash smirked "heh. I make everything look easy".

"ok lightning dust yer up".

Lightning dust then flew over to the dizzatron "mam. Can you put the dizzatron at maximum speed?" she said as she sat in the harness "I wanna push my limits" she finished with a grin that almost resembled clayton's, spitfire then looked at her officer as they both looked at lightning "you sure about that?" she asked her.

"yes mam. Clayton wouldn't let something like this slow him down!" she said with pride in her voice.

Spitfire then then sighed "ok. You asked for it" she then looked over at the officer as he then pulled the leaver at maximum speed, the machine then started to go ten times as fast. Spitfire watched as she then shouted at the officer "release!", he stopped the machine as it threw her out and made her spin like a spiral as she quickly gained control and flew back down to the runway. Spitfire then clicked her stopwatch "6.5 seconds. Not bad" she said.

Lightning dust and rainbow dash then gave each other hoof fives as they both smiled at each other. "NEXT!" spitfire shouted, the dizzatron training went on for three hours as every other pony was either dizzy, knocked out, or lost control at the landing. Lightning dust and rainbow dash watched as the there other comrades messed up.

"nopony even came close to six seconds" rainbow dash said.

"they should make us wounderbolts right now" lightning dust said with pride.

"yea they should hehe".

"bet cha that if Clayton did this he would finish this in three seconds flat with no problem" lightning dust added.

They both looked at spitfire.

"listen up. For the rest of the camp you'll be working in pairs. Tomorrow morning ll'l post the teams including who will be lead pony and wing pony. Good luck" she said as she walked away.

"they made us a team. Isn't that awesome?" lightning dust said with a smile.

Rainbow dash smiled at her as she then held her head down.

Spitfire was in her office stamping wonderbolt flyers until rainbow dash opened the door "permission to enter mam" she said, spitfire didn't look up at her as she was still stamping flyers.

"what is it rainbow dash?" she asked her.

"I had the best time on the dizzatron. Only six seconds!".

"and?".

"and you made me a wing pony!".

Spitfire then stopped stamping flyers as she then took off her sunglasses and placed them on her desk, "Because I believe you and lightning dust will be an unstoppable team. Do you not think you'll be an unstoppable team?" she asked her.

"yes mam! I mean no mam. I mean...ugh w-will be an unstoppable team mam" rainbow dash finished. Spitfire then raised her eyebrow at her "then what's the problem?".

Rainbow dash then gathered up all of her thoughts together as she then looked at spitfire with a serious look "I think that I should be lead pony mam" she said.

"and I think that lightning dust likes to push herself a little harder than you do. That's why I made her lead pony. Got it!?" she finished as she leaned over her desk, rainbow dash had a look of sadness on her face as she then looked at her "yes mam".

"good" she then went back to stamping the flyers, rainbow dash then walks out of her office as she closes the door behind her with her head held low. As soon as she left spitfire then stopped stamping flyers and crossed her hoofs as she then ponders about the conversation she just had with rainbow dash.

She then looks to her right and eyes her photo of a portrait of Clayton on her wall as she sighs "you think I made the right choice on making lightning dust lead pony?" she said to the portrait. She then sighed as she she pondered and pondered about her decision.

Everypony was out on the runway as they waited for there instructor to show up rainbow dash walking next to lightning dust who was putting on her lead pony badge as she showed it off to her friend with a smile.

Spitfire then walked up to the group.

"today you will all be participating in a flag hunt" spitfire said "will divided you into two teams. Red and blue. Who ever finds the most flags of the opposing teams color. Wins".

Everypony then cheered "oh. This is gonna be so much fun" one pegasus pony said until spitfire then dashed up to her face "if you this gonna be fun you are sadly mistaken. This is for training purposes. This is not recess. Ponies and wing ponies must fly together. If any part splits apart they will be imminently disqualified. Do you understand?" she finished

"yes mam!".

"then let's go!" she then blew her whistle starting the event, everypony then flew into the air with there partner as they then looked for here other teams flags, lightning dust looked over at rainbow dash "ready to rock and roll?" she asked.

"you bet!".

The two the flew off a super speed as they looked for flags. Lightning dust started to speed up as she went high and low searching for any flags as rainbow dash tried to catch up to her, they then flew up into the air as she caught up with lightning.

"you spotted anything?" she asked.

Rainbow dash shook her head "not yet".

Rainbow dash then looked down to see a red flag in a hole that was covered by two large logs "oh there's one!".

"good eyes".

Lightning dust then speeded down to the flag as rainbow dash followed her, they were flying at the hole with enormous speed "we should slow down. It doesn't look like both of us can make it at this speed" she said in a worried tone. Lightning dust only huffed at her warning as she then speeded up after the flag as rainbow dash tried to see past her but couldn't until lightning dust then dived into the hole with her back hoofs as rainbow dash did the same but managed to hit her right wing on the log "ouch!" she yelled as lightning dust grabbed the flag as rainbow dash struggled to get her balance up with her other wing.

Lightning dust then landed back at the runway laying the flag next to spitfire "lightning dust and rainbow dash found the first flag" she said, rainbow dash landed as she then stretched her injured wing a bit to see if it was ok. Lightning dust then ran to her "come on! Let's find some more" she said.

"ugh...sure just...give me a second" she said as she looked at her wing.

"oh your fine. You think that Clayton would quit after getting a little hurt. No way. Now hurry up" she said as she flew off, rainbow dash saw her fly off as she then turned to spitfire who then gave her a raised eyebrow at her. rainbow dash then got to her feet "yea. Totally" she said as she flapped her left wing and tried to pick herself up into the air "Clayton. What am I to do?" rainbow dash thought.

Everypony gathered to the runway as they waited for spitfire to speak, one of her officers then blew a trumpet as spitfire stopped him.

"today we will be doing our famous air obstacle course. The object of this exercise is to work like your precision flying under extreme circumstances". Rainbow dash and lightning dust then looked at each other "and don't worry about winning. It's not a race" spitfire added, lightning dust then winked at rainbow dash.

"now everypony get on your marks".

Everypony then got in a line of two as they all got ready as the officer pony blew the whistles signaling them to start.

Everypony then flew with there wing pony into the air as they went through the cloud ring course first as they then entered the cloud course, some of the other ponies got hit with the clouds as others past it without a scratch. Rainbow dash then looked over at lightning dust as she smiled at her and formed a large grin on her face as she zoomed at the cloud ring course as rainbow dash followed, as they entered the cloud course they both then started dodging pink clouds left and right that were being made by the rainbow factory crew.

Lightning dust began to speed up until she made a hard stop as two other ponies were in the way flying slowly "ugh! Can't they go any faster?" she said as she flew back to rainbow dash "it's no good. I can't get around them" she whined, rainbow dash then poked her side with her elbow "doesn't matter. We can still fly completely in sync and still impress spitfire with our moves" she said with a smile.

"I guess" she said in a irritate tone as they both passed each cloud ring and did a loop in each one, they then went inside the dark clouds to start the rain course. As the two were flying the two ponies in front of her were having a hard time in the rain and wind of the stormy weather "what are they a couple of snails? It's just a little weather" lightning dust said.

They then all came out of the dark clouds and into the blue sky again, lightning dust then smiled "now's our chance to pass these slow pokes" she said as she and rainbow dash zoomed past the two causing them to fly back into the others as the other ponies then flew into the clouds, the two then dogged every single wind blower as they then landed back on the runway in front of spitfire.

"not bad. And in recoded time to" she said with a smile "defiantly made the right decision making you two a team", she then looked through a telescope and saw that the others were stuck in the clouds as they tried to get out or some of there partners tried to help them. "the others seem to have trouble with the precision part of the exercise. I better go sort them out. Why don't you two go to the mess hall a little early".

"yes mam" lightning dust said as she proudly walked on her way.

Spitfire was sitting at her desk looking at her portrait of Clayton until rainbow dash came into her office "this better be important. Your suppose to be busting clouds with your partner" she said.

"were done with that mam".

"really?" she then looks at the clock "that's An academy recoded. Explain your method" she asked.

"that's why I'm here mam. Lightning dust decided to use a tornado".

"bit excessive for cloud busting. But judging from you time it was obviously an effective tactic".

Rainbow dash then walked up to the desk "yeah! Well that effective tactic. Nearly took out my friends! No disrespect mam. But there is a big difference from pushing yourself as hard as you can. And just being reckless. And if being reckless is what gets rewarded around here. If that what it means to be a wonderbolt. Then I don't want any part of it".

"what are you saying newbe?".

Rainbow dash then places her wing pony badge on her desk "I quit".

As soon as she turns around she sees the portrait of Clayton and holds her head down as she turns to her "if clayton were here. He would be very disappointed", she then walks out of her office as she closes the door and holds her head low.

"you did WHAT!" everyone said in unison.

"but being a wonderbolt was your dream" rarity said.

Rainbow dash looked at her as she strapped on her saddle bag "not any more", max then leaned down and placed his hand on her back "sorry about what happened rainbow dash" he said. They all then cuddle together into a hug until they all heard spitfire's voice as she walked toward them.

"rainbow dash! How dare you storm out of my office without giving a chance to respond", she stops in front of her "the wonderbolts are looking for the best flyers in equestira. And you were right. Being the best should never come at the expense of out fellow ponies. It's not just about pushing ourselves. It's about pushing ourselves in the right direction. You've shown that you're capable of doing just that".

Rainbow dash then starts to smile hearing her words as spitfire raises her hoof as the officers stand aside as lightning dust comes forward, she then gives her a glare before tearing off her lead pony badge and points to the nearest exist, lightning dust then shamefully walks with the officers as she leaves but turns and gives her former friend a peace sign with her wings.

Before lightning dust heads off rainbow dash walks up to her and taps her on the back. She turns around with a look of dishonor in her eyes and sadness as rainbow dash then does something that shocks her: she hugs her.

"come find me in ponyville. When ever you wanna hang. And remember to keep your dream strong to one day make it a reality" she whispered into her ear as she backed away from her, hearing this even after all she had done made lightning dust smile warmly "thank you" she said as she headed off out of the academy.

She then walked over to spitfire who was smiling at her as she placed the leader badge on her chest "your not a wing pony. Your a leader" she said making her smile brightly "oh my gosh oh my gosh oh gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh" rainbow dash said over and over again as her friends smiled at her, spitfire then took her sunglasses off "NOW GET OUT THERE AND GIVE ME TWENTY!" she yelled as she flew to her team who all gave her salutes as she gave one back to them as they all then took off.

Meanwhile as the wonderbolts were talking amongst each other about mostly nothing spitfire then aimed her sight on rainbow dash who was walking over to them. She smiled as she was happy to see her again "hey look who it is. How have ya been rainbow dash?" spitfire said as she walked away from her team over to her new member of the wonderbolt family, rainbow dash smiled brightly at her "I've been good. I had a party thrown for me when my friends found out that I finally got to become a member" she said.

Spitfire smiled "well just remember newbie. Next week were gonna be getting you up to speed with some basic training. Got it?" she said as rainbow dash then did a salute in front of her "yes mam" rainbow dash said, spitfire giggled a bit "hehe. Don't worry. You don't have to salute. Were not at the acadamy" she said as she raised her hoof down. Rainbow dash smiled as she heard somepony shout for her.

"hey dash!".

Rainbow dash and spitfire both looked over to see lightning dust walk over to them, rainbow dash smiled as the two then did a hoof bump "hey hey. I see you made it" lightning dust said.

"yup. I wouldn't miss it for the world".

"so" lightning dust said "did you bring a date to the party?" she finished in a teasing tone. Rainbow dash only smiled "as a matter a fact I did" she said, this got spitfire a bit curious to know who it was "really? Who is he?" she asked. Rainbow dash then walked over to the side as spitfire and lightning dust followed her, as they walked over to the edge of the wall the three stopped as rainbow dash walked over to a figure that was leaning back on the wall wearing a fedora over his face.

Rainbow dash pokes his leg as the figure opened his right eye "yea dashie?" he said.

"you have some fans that want to see you".

The figure then takes off his fedora showing his face to them, lightning dust and spitfire's mouths drop as they can't believe who they are staring at. "n-no way" lightning dust said.

"it..can't be" spitfire said as she then rubbed her eyes to made sure that she wasn't dreaming, as soon as she finished she still saw Clayton stand in front of her.

Clayton smiled at them "well it's very nice to meet the both of you" he said in a kind tone as he then leaned down to them and held out his hands to them. Lightning dust instantly grabbed his hand and shook it rapidly "oh man oh man oh man. My favorite hero is standing right here before me" she said as she then squealed. Spitfire was still staring at his hand as she was still unsure if Clayton was real or not, Clayton saw this and he looked at her with a worried look "hey. Are you alright?" he asked spitfire as he then placed his hand on her forehead.

Spitfire then started to blush a bit as she felt his hand on her forehead "he's...he's touching me" she thought as Clayton then moved his hand onto her cheek "hmm. You seem to be warm a bit.

Spitfire then broke out of her train of thought "oh. Uhh y-yea. That could be it" she said, Clayton smiled at her

A large man wearing red overalls came to the front desk "yes? May I help you sir?" he asked the boy.

"I saw that you have a sign outside that said that you had a room for sale, and I was wondering if I could buy it" he asked the man, the large man rubbed his chin as he nodded "yes, I've been trying to sell that room for a while, but i have never gotten anyone to take it off my hands. It's a real nice room and I'm sure that you'll like it" he said.

Dillon then pulled out the brown sack that was in his pocket "I only have susan b. Anthony coins, sorry" he said. The man then raised an eyebrow at him "did you say that you have Susan b. Anthony coins?", dillon nodded at him "yes. I apologize but this is all I have to pay you with".

The man then raised his hand at him "that's not a problem at all. In fact I'm a rare coin collector, and I have been trying to get my hands on some Susan b. Anthony coins for over eight years. For you my boy you can have the room for free" he said. Dillon's face then lit up "you mean it?".

"yup. It's hundred percent free and it's all yours".

"thanks a lot".

"no problem. Say how old are you, if you don't mind me asking".

"Sixteen. Why do you ask?".

"just curious is all. You want me to tell your parents that your here?", dillon then got what he was saying as he then had a frown on his face "I....don't have any parents" he said darkly.

The man had an upset look on his face "what a shame" he said "guess they didn't want the responsibility of raising you huh?". Dillon shook his head "no. It's much worse than that", the man then rubbed his chin again "I see".

"yea".

He then placed his hand on his right shoulder "well I'm just happy that you don't have to be sleeping out in the cold" he said. Dillon then smiled a bit "thanks" he said, the man smiled back at him "it's no trouble. Here's the key to your room". The man then pulled out a small silver key and placed it on the wooden desk as dillon then took it and put it in his pocket as he then went upstairs.

As he finished in the bathroom he then walked over to his closet as he threw his clothes on the bed and got dressed for the day, as dillon walked downstairs he was greeted by the owner "hey there young lad. Did you have a good night sleep?" he asked him, dillon nodded "yea. Hey can I ask you a favor".

"sure thing".

"do you have any gloves?".

The man pondered about this for a bit before giving him an answer "hmm, the only pair that I have is a black right glove. Sorry". Dillon smiled a bit "that will do perfectly", then man then walked over to the desk as he looked in one of the cubbyholes. "let me see here. Ah here it is" he said as he then placed it on the desk for him.

Dillon then rolled up his sleeve as he then grabbed the glove and put it over his right metal hand, the man was in awe a bit at his metal Prosthetic "well ll'l be. How did ya get that shinny piece of metal right there?", dillon didn't want to tell him that he got this after his father ripped off his arm "I, served in the military" he said "I had a friend who was good with Prosthetics have him make this for me".

"well your friend sure is talented" he said.

Dillon nodded "I know". He then pulled down his sleeve as he then walked out of the building and went on his way to find samantha again.

"hey" dillon said in a very dark tone.

The man stopped what he was doing as he then looked up at him "well good morning my boy" he said with a smile on his face, dillon didn't even smile at the man as he was still extremely pissed from yesterday.

The man noticed this as he placed his broom on the side of the wall "well, looks like you had a bad night" he said "something on your mind?".

"l'm fine".

"you don't sound like it. You sure you don't wanna talk about it?".

"no".

Dillon then proceeds to head for the door but the owner then steps in front of the exit blocking him, dillon then crossed his arms as he then tapped his foot rapidly he was in no mood to talk and he really didn't want to hurt the man. "look" the man said "I can tell by your face that your not in the best of moods".

"no shit!" he snapped.

The man was a bit taken back by dillon's out burst at him. Dillon then placed his hand on his face as he then sighed "s-sorry....I-I, I'm just really upset" he said. "but I wouldn't mind talking about it with you".

The man placed his hand on his shoulder as he gave him a smile "that's alright. I love helping people that need help" he said "come let's sit down and well have our talk", the two then sat down on the couch in the hall as dillon laid his head back.

"ok then" the man said "tell me what's eatin at ya".

Dillon then lifted his head up as he looked at him.

"well it's like this. There is this girl that I have been looking for and I finally found her".

"mhm. Anything you care to say about this girl?".

"hehe. Were do I begin" dillon then tried to think up what to say "she's shy, cute, quiet, and she has the cutest color of pink hair" he said. The man then raised his head up at the last sentence "wait pink hair?" he said.

"yup".

"you wouldn't be referring to samantha gales would you?" he asked him.

Dillon was a bit surprise by what he just said "h-how did you know?". The man sighed "because I was best friends with her birth father" he said in a sad tone, dillon then had a cold chill down his spine "you....you were best friends with her birth father?".

The man nodded "yes. Her father was such a nice man. And he loved samantha with all of his heart. But as for her mother....well she was not so happy about the girl, seeing as she had poor samantha at the age of fifteen and has blamed the girl ever since. Her father wanted to protect his little girl but he lost custody of her and was forced to never see her again. So he committed suicide".

This alone made dillon almost cry, he was heartbroken to hear about Samantha's father and this made dillon want to protect her more than ever. The man continued "Samantha's mother remarried and the person that stays with her now is her stepfather. Those two really make me sick, they both treat the girl like crap by abusing her day and night. Forcing her to sleep outside, starving her, not giving her new clothes. It just breaks my heart" he said as he then started to cry, dillon then pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket as he gave it to him. The man looked up at him and took it "thank you lad" he said as he wiped his tears.

Dillon nodded at him as he then walked over to the door "I will be back. I'm gonna go see someone" he said, the man then got up from the chair as he followed him to the door "you gonna go see samantha?" he asked him.

"yup. And as a bonus. I'm gonna give her all love and kindness that she needs too" he said as he walked out of the door. The man smiled as he wiped the last of his tears.
