Capelli tried to figure out how he was supposed to apologize. He never had been one to say sorry after he pissed someone off real bad, mostly cause he didn't give a fuck if he hurt someone's feelings. In fact, the only time he ever asked for forgiveness was from Hale right before he killed him. Capelli sighed as Ponyville came back into view.

"Alright Joe, you can do this." Capelli said. "I'm sorry! There thats all there is to it." Capelli continued to walk as he came in to town when he saw a nearby pony with an aquamarine coat and a pale cyan mane. She had golden eyes and a lyre for a cutie mark. Capelli continued to walk past her when he saw her jump up and her eyes go wide.

"Why the fuck is she staring at me like that?" Capelli thought. It was the look of a genuine creep. She slowly trotted closer licking her lips. Alright that was just plain disturbing.

"Uh hello." Capelli said backing up.

"Your real." The pony said. "I KNEW IT!"

"Wait whaaa?" Capelli asked.

"A REAL HUMAN!" The pony exclaimed. Capelli basically shit himself, how the fuck did this pony see through the illusion spell unless.....Capelli walked to the nearby pond and looked at his reflection. Instead of seeing his pony form, he saw his human form.

"Son of a bitch." Capelli whispered. The illusion spell must have worn off! Fuck! What the hell was he supposed to do now?!?!

"Come here little fella." The creepy pony said holding her hoof out. "I got a little treat for you."

"SHIT! Time to run!" Capelli screamed as he ran for dear life.

"HEY GET BACK HERE!" The pony yelled. Capelli ran as fast as he could determined to get the hell away from that creep. Capelli looked behind him to see she was gone and he let out a sigh of relief. He caught his breath when he looked up and saw hundreds of eyes staring at him in fear. Capelli gulped as he took in his surroundings and saw where he was.

He was in the middle of Ponyville Marketplace.

Ponies began to back off with fear in their eyes, frightened of this new two legged alien. Some of the younger foals stared at Capelli in awe, impressed with the how cool the alien looked.

"Uh.. I come in peace?" Capelli said holding his hands up. The ponies took the hand raising as a hostile move and panicked.

"RUN!" A pony screamed as they all panicked and ran away. Capelli just frowned as the ponies around him ran for dear life. Ponies sprinted in houses and the sounds of doors slamming and locking echoed like a symphony across the town. Soon, it was completely devoid of life.

"Well I guess that could have gone worse." Capelli said.

"I've got you now!" Capelli turned to see the creep pony slowly trotting towards him with a crazed look on her eyes. "You are going to come with me! I am going to study you! And I am going to get a look at those hands! Those strong, large, fascinating hands!" She said. Suddenly the pony stepped away from him.

"WAIT A MINUTE! You are not a human!" She said. "Humans aren't supposed to have golden eyes like that!" Capelli was confused.

"I'm not?" Wait, thats right! I'm a sentinel! Not a human!" Capelli thought. He never would have thought in a million years that the chimera would actually save him.

"RUN! ALIEN!" The creepy pony screamed as she ran away. Capelli just shrugged as he continued walking. Man he was growing soft, normally he would have beaten or killed something that acted like that towards him. This place was starting to affect his mind. He continued walking until he heard a squeak under a picnic table. Something was hiding there and whatever it was, it was not doing a very good job.

"Shhhhhh, its right there!

"Quiet Sweetie Belle, he'll hear us!" Capelli just rolled his eyes.

"You know I can hear you." Capelli said earning a gasp and a scream from underneath the picnic table. "I'm not gonna hurt you."

"Wait a minnit, ah know that voice." One of the voices said. Capelli saw a small little yellow filly come out from under. He recognized this as Applebloom from earlier.

"Are you Capelli?" She asked a little scared.

"Yeah Applebloom its me." Capelli said.

"But ah thought you were a pony?" Applebloom said as the other two ponies came out from under. One was an orange pegasus with a violet mane and the other was a white unicorn with a pinkish mane. Capelli was never one to fall for something adorable but even he could not resist.

"I've got some explaining to do." Capelli said as he held out his hand. "Come with me."

"OH NO! HE'S GOT THREE FILLIES!"

"HE'S GONNA EAT THEM!"

"SOMEPONY STOP HIM!" Upon hearing that, Capelli whipped around and saw a mob of ponies approaching him. Capelli could have easily taken them on but he didn't want to cause further aggravation. He scooped up the three fillies in his arm and began sprinting, His longer legs won over the chasing mob's shorter legs. He continued to run till he saw Twilight's house come into view. He picked up the pace and barged in without knocking and quickly locked the door behind him. He let the three fillies down to the ground.

"Wow mister yer strong!" Applebloom said. Capelli turned to see Twilight standing there covered in water and a towel wrapped around her head. Capelli must have barged in while she was in the shower. At first he was embarrassed but then remembered these ponies were usually naked anyway.

"Twilight?" Capelli began to say as the unicorn trotted over and gave him a hug. Capelli looked down in shock, this hug did not have the same affection as Fluttershy's did but it still felt good nontheless.

"Um." Capelli said as Twilight continued to embrace him.

"I-rr-y." Was all he heard from her muffled voice.

"What?" Capelli said bringing his hand to his ear. "I can't hear you purple."

"IM SORRY!" She cried out loud. Well that was unexpected. Capelli didn't know what to do. Not only did he never apologize, he had never been apologized to.

"Uh its okay?" Capelli responded.

"I never should have judged you before I got to know you." Twilight said as she pulled her body away leaving Capelli's shirt soaked with water. Capelli gave her a death stare.

"Sorry!" She said with a nervous giggle as Capelli wrung his shirt out causing water to spill on to the ground.

"Yeah uh I came her for two reasons." Capelli said. "First, as you can see the illusion thing wore off and I just got chased by an angry mob."

"Oh yeah let me fix that." Twilight said as her horn lit and Capelli appeared as a pony again. Twilight's cheeks flushed upon seeing the strong stallion.

"Second I uh-" Capelli said rubbing his head. "S-s-s-sorreeee!"

"What?" Twilight asked confused.

"I said I'm s-s-sawree." Capelli said. "Fuck why can't I do this shit?"

"Are you saying 'I'm sorry'?" Twilight asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Capelli said gritting his teeth, Damn this was painful. "For attacking dragon and attacking you."

"Apology accepted Joseph!" Twilight said happily as she put her hoof on his shoulder.

"AWWWWW!" Sweetie Belle and Applebloom said.

"EWWW!" Scootaloo said.

"Fuck, glad thats over." Capelli said.

"Not quite yet." Twilight said. "GIRLS!" Capelli saw Pink, Orange, White, and Blue all come out with their ears lowered to their head. Twilight the went to three fillies standing next to Capelli.

"Girls, would you mind stepping outside? This is kind of private." Twilight said.

"OHH!" They all said causing Twilight to giggle at their pout faces, Those three were absolutely adorable. Rarity was the first to walk up to Capelli.

"My dear Joseph, I am so sorry for what I said to you." Rarity said digging at the ground. "You must let me repay you somehow."

"I ruined your dress and then called you a cunt." Capelli said. "Why are you apologizing?"

"Because I saw who you truly are." Rarity said. "Before I saw a rude, brutish, cold, hateful-"

"Alright alright! You could have stopped at rude dammit." Capelli said.

"Sorry darling, my point is that now, I see a brave man who has given more than I could ever hope to in my lifetime." Rarity said. "Do you accept my apology?"

"Sure thing white." Capelli said as she too embraced him in a hug. Next up was Pinkie Pie, Capelli gulped as he saw her walk up to him.

"JOEY!" She cried as she tackled him to the ground in a hug. "IM SOOOWWY!" She said in between tears.

"Hey its alright." Capelli said.

"NOOO IT ISNT! I MADE YOU SAD AND THAT MAKES ME SAD!" Pinkie said.

"Pink I said-" Capelli tried to say.

"I DONT LIKE IT WHEN I MAKE PONIES SAD! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Pinkie screamed as tears nearly drowned Capelli.

"AH DAMMIT PINK! I SAID IT'S ALRIGHT!" Capelli said. "Fuck!"

"R-r-really?" She asked sniffling with a face that almost gave Capelli diabetes.

"Yes for fuckin pete's sake!" Capelli said. "I'm uh sorry too."

"Why?" She asked.

"For breaking that what do you call it? Pinkie Promise." Capelli said. "How about this? I pinkie promise never to break another pinkie promise again?" Capelli said now knowing if he ever broke one again, Pinkie would decapitate him.

"YIPPEE!" Pinkie said as she began hopping around and began singing

Joey is the best pony! pony!
He is the very bestest friend for me! For me!
YIPPE YIPPEE!

"Alright alright already!" Capelli said stuffing his hand in her mouth. "Don't you ever calm down?"

"NOPE!" She said. Applejack slowly trotted up to Capelli covering her face with her hat.

"Um Joe? Ah didn't mean to kick you out like that. Ah was just scared of you and when ah saw you fighin mah brother, ah just-" Applejack said. Capelli looked down at her.

"It's fine. Just tell your fuckin brother not to be such a dumbass." Capelli said.

"Thanks Joe, I really appreciate it." Applejack said. "Family is important to me an when ah saw yer dad hurtin you-"

"He was a fuckin dirty piece of shit, that bastard never gave two shits about me and I never gave to shits about him." Capelli said. "If universal justice exists than he is being eaten alive by some chimera hopefully." Applejack nodded as she gave Capelli a quick hug.

"Rainbow? Is there something you'd like to say?" Twilight asked Rainbow Dash who just looked at the ground.

"Hey Blue, I'm sorry." Capelli said to her. Rainbow's ears perked up.

"What?" She asked. "Why are you sorry? Your whole time here I was the one who made you feel excluded."

"Don't get me wrong skittles, I still want to kick your fuckin teeth out." Capelli said. "As jerky as I am, I know loyalty when I see it."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"You only attacked me because I hurt yellow over there." Capelli said. "I would have done the same."

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah." Capelli said. Rainbow fell into his chest and began crying. He noticed she was crying harder than even Pinkie. He did the only thing he could think of doing and he hugged her as she unleashed liquid regret into his chest.

"B-b-but I hurt you so bad! And I said I hated you!" She said.

"Trust me there is nothing you can do to me that the Chimera haven't already done." Capelli said as he put one hand on Rainbow's head. "I forgive you."

"S-so are we cool?" Rainbow asked wiping a tear away.

"Sure thing fuckface." Capelli said as he let go of her. The ponies all felt a lot better now and Capelli even felt a weight had been lifted off of his face.

"Joseph, will you be our friend?" Twilight asked holding out her hoof. He looked up and saw her and the rest of the ponies with hopeful smiles on their faces. Capelli sighed as he brushed her hoof away.

"Sorry, friends aren't my thing." Capelli said. Twilight's eyes saddened as he pushed her hoof away.

"But why?" Pinkie asked. "Friends are the most super thing in the world!"

"BECAUSE I FUCKIN A BULLET THROUGH MY LAST FRIENDS HEAD!" Capelli screamed causing the ponies all to back up. "Listen, I appreciate it but trust me when I tell you. I am going to turn into a chimera and die in three months and unless you managed to replicate some stage eight viral inhibitors, nothing is going to change that!"

"Trust me Joseph, the most powerful thing is the magic of friendship. We will find a way." Twilight said.

"Together." Applejack said. Capelli looked at them but turned away again.

"Listen, you saw what that fuckin virus does. It is a virus! Do you understand? A microbacteria that is a biological parasite! Me fuckin having sleep overs and parties will NOT kill thing!" Capelli said.

"Even if that's true wouldn't you rather spend your last three months happily?" Rarity asked.

"I'm perfectly fuckin content right now." Capelli said.

"No your not!" Fluttershy suddenly burst out. "We all saw what you went through and it was the scariest thing I have ever seen! Nopony can go through something like that and be happy!"

"Why not?" Capelli asked. "I'm away from the two things I hate most, my asshole dad and the chimera. As far as I can see, that's something to he pretty fuckin happy about."

"Please Joseph!" Fluttershy said with a sad expression. "We want you to be happy. You deserve it."

"Trust me Joseph." Twilight said. "When I lived in Canterlot, I used to think friends were a waste of time and now I realize how empty life is without them."

"Seriously I have a question." Capelli said. "Why do you all give a damn? What's so special about me? In fact, I'm surprised you all haven't banished me or something yet."

"Why would we ever do such a thing?" Rarity asked.

"I don't know maybe because I'm going to turn into a parasitic monster from outer fuckin space!" Capelli said.

"We don't care what you will turn into!" Fluttershy said. "It's who you are right now that matters to us." She said as she put her hoof where his heart was.

"You still haven't answered my question though, why? If I were on Earth I probably would have been executed in this situation." Capelli said. "I'm just a walking weapon."

"You aren't on earth anymore sugarcube." Applejack said as she took Capelli's hand in her hooves.

"And you are far more than a weapon, you are still a person with a soul." Rarity said taking his other hand in her hooves. "A soul who was willing to give their life to protect others."

"One of the main principles we ponies believe in is second chances and that everypony has the potential to become great." Rainbow said.

"But I'm a fuckin asshole!" Capelli said. "Why would you want to be friends with me?"

"Nopony and nobody is perfect!" Pinkie said. "And because we all care about you!"

"You are a good man Joseph but you always judge yourself on the bad things you have done instead of reflecting on the good you have done." Twilight said holding her hoof out once again. "So I ask again Joseph, will you be our friend?" Capelli looked around again and saw the look on everyponies faces. He couldn't believe this was happening! These six ponies had shown him more care and compassion in the past few minutes than anybody on Earth had his entire life. He looked away and sighed before looking back up again.

"Fuck it you win." Capelli said this time taking Twilight's hoof in his hand instead of brushing it away. The ponies all huddled around for a group hug with Capelli being the happiest he had been his entire life. At that moment, he forgot there was even a chimera inside his body.
