As I climbed down from the tree, the sun was setting over the horizon.

"Quittin' time," I muttered.

I had been in Equestria for a month and my life was already better than my old one on Earth. The apple family had given me a job. Applebloom and I made a cabin for myself in a secluded part of the farm(how that filly doesn't know her talent is beyond me. I still practiced beyblades, usually with Rainbow Dash.

As I walked past the barn I called, "I'm heading into town Big Mac. You coming?"

He walked out of the barn and said, "Eeyup."

Big Mac and I had been meeting up with some stallions for a couple weeks at what Ponyville considered a pub. When we got there, we sat down at our usual booth with our friend Comet Tail.

"Hey Comet," I said, "where's the others?"

"They'll be here soon, I'm sure," Comet Tail replied, not looking up from his star charts. He was so much like Twilight that I've told him he should ask her out. He just blushes whenever I mention her.

"Have you gone to Turner for a launcher yet?" I had been able to replicate the circumstances that had allowed me to create beys for Spike and the girls. Comet got a Jade Jupiter and Big Mac got a Rock Orso.

"No. I've been busy looking at the star charts from the time you came here. Maybe there was some sort of alignment or something that could have amplified the power of you and Raymond's special moves or focused them to rip through the dimensional wall."

"You need to get some exercise Comet," Big Mac said.

Just then our other friends, Thunderlane and Noteworthy walked through the door.

"What we miss?" Thunderlane asked as he sat down.

"Comet is still looking at his star charts and needs a launcher and some exercise," I summed up.

A waiter walked up to the table and said, "The usual I'm guessing."

We nodded and began to talk about what we were going to that weekend.

"The girls and I are having a tournament tomorrow," I said, "Do any of you want to join?"

"I'd like too," Noteworthy said, "It might give me some inspiration for a new piece."

"Sure," Comet said.

"If you're using a dirt stadium you can't have a tournament," Thunderlane said, "There's going to be a storm
tonight and the stadium will get turned into a pile of mud."

"Dang it!" Big Mac said, "I was going to ask Fluttershy out tomorrow."

We all stared at him like he was speaking Prench. When the waiter gave us our drinks I took a drink of my root beer I did a spit take.

"What?" he asked in confusion, "She's pretty, sweet..." We were still staring at him. "Seriously, you want Comet to ask out Twilight."

"Sorry," I apologized, shaking my head, "You're just so shy and none of us would expect you to actually attempt to ask a mare out."

The others nodded in agreement. After that we just drank our drinks in silence. When I was done I payed my part of the bill and went out into the pouring rain.

I sprinted all the way to the farm. On my way to my cabin, I saw candle light flickering in the window of Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo's clubhouse.

"Why would the fillies be out here during this?" I thought, walking up the stairs to the entrance.

I peeked inside the clubhouse to see a soaking wet Scootaloo, shivering under a blanket.

"Scootaloo!" I exclaimed, picking up the freezing filly.

I ran back to my cabin and sat Scootaloo on my bed. Then I pulled out Sagittario, launching it into the fireplace and igniting it.

Scootaloo sat up and said, "Archer, am I at your place?"

I nodded, "Are you alright?"

"Just cold."

"I can fix that." I used Scootaloo's blanket to dry her off the best I could. Then I wrapped her in my blanket and sat with her in front of the fireplace. "Is that better?"

"Yeah. Thanks for bringing me here."

"You're welcome. Why were you in the clubhouse instead of at home?"

Scootaloo looked down, "Do you promise not to tell anypony if I tell you?" I nodded. "I don't have one Archer."

"What do you mean? Are you an orphan?"

Scootaloo nodded, "I technically live at the Ponyville Orphanage, though I stay in the clubhouse most of the time because I hate living there."

"What happened to your parents?"

"I was told my dad ran off and that my mom died during my birth," Scootaloo began to cry, "Sometimes I wonder if it was my fault."

I put my hand on Scootaloo's back, "Scootaloo, I'm going to tell you something only I know. I don't have a family either."

"How?" Scootaloo sniffed.

"Three years ago I was at a training area with my parents. I used a special move that caused a huge fireball. My dad pushed me out of the way. The place began to burn down and I made it out, my mom didn't." I began to feel tears run down my face. "I felt responsible for their deaths, but you know what I did?"

"What?"

"I focused that rage and sadness into a desire to get stronger. I skipped town to get a fresh start."

Scootaloo stared at the fire, "I still would like Rainbow Dash to be my sister, but maybe we could be eachothers family."

I drew Scootaloo closer, "Sure Scoots, I'd like that."

I saw a small beam of light come from Scootaloo's chest. I wiped my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I put my hand on the light and pulled it away. With my hand came a bey.

"Is that a bey?" Scootaloo asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah, Storm Pegasus. I think it belongs to you."

"Really! How do I use it?"

I pulled out my launcher and put Pegasus on it. "Pull the cord with your teeth."

She did this and the bey began to sped all over the room.

"This is awsome!" Scootaloo said, "It feels like the bey is part of me." Scootaloo suddenly got a puzzled look on her face. "Why is my flank tingling?"

Scootaloo pulled off the blanket and there was a mark on her flank. It looked like the mark on Pegasus' face bolt.

"Your talent is beyblading," I said with a smile.

"Yes!" Scootaloo's face suddenly looked like she realized something, "If you hadn't came to Equestria, I wouldn't have gotten my cutie mark. Ever." Scootaloo jumped up and wrapped her forelegs around my neck. "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome," I replied.

Scootaloo held onto me until she fell asleep. My last thought before falling asleep was, "Strange, my bey before Sagittario was a storm pegasus."
