"I guess I should start by saying hello." Neon said, looking down at the girls. Rainbow noticed that he mainly directed his view towards her, but the other girls didn't notice. She saw Twilight concentrating, like she does when she is casting a spell, but nothing was happening.

"Don't bother Twilight." Neon said, directing his gaze towards her. He pulled out an object that looked like a stone cube with glowing green lines covering the faces. "My magic dampener won't let you cast any spells. It would take 5 alicorns just to do basic levitation."

"Isn't that over-kill?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, considering you know 3 alicorns and Twilight is the most powerful unicorn ever. No."

"Wait, what?" Twilight asked, clearly shocked.

"Yes Twilight, you are the most powerful unicorn I have ever seen and I'm a time traveler. Pretty impressive actually. Then again, you are the holder of the element of magic." Neon said, pointing out the elements case. "I miss the originals. Great bunch of ponies if you ask me. Too bad the whole discord thing happened."

"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked. She looked at the other girls and saw they were just as confused as she was.

"I'm talking about the elements of harmony."

"But Celestia and Luna were the first to use them. How would you miss them?"

"I wasn't talking about the users, I was talking about them." Neon said, once again pointing at the elements.

"What?" Was the basic reaction from everypony.

"Oh, so Celli didn't tell you?" Neon asked. "Celestia actually made the elements herself."

"What, no she didn't. They were found by the princess."

"That was just a cover up. She actually made the elements. She just didn't want anypony to know that the elements were made out of ponies."

'Collective gasp'

"Star Dancer the element of magic, Glimmer the element of generosity, Breezy Leaf the element of kindness, Spectre the element of loyalty, Merry May element of laughter and Honey Crisp the element of honesty. You resemble them in many ways actually."

"B-but why were they made out of ponies?" Twilight stuttered out.

"They could have been made out of something less living. It would have taken more time and Celli just didn't want to have to wait. She also didn't want to ask, sadly. I would have helped them, but I couldn't. A big problem with time travel is that no matter how much you want help, you can't help them all." For the first time since they had met, Neon was showing some emotion. It wasn't much, but it was there. "Anyway, that was depressing. Time for some good news! Guess what guys?"

"Um, what?"

"Well Twilight, Rainbow won the fight by default. I took much more damage than she did. That means that I wont be hurting any of your friends. Also, I never said how I would hurt anypony. I was just going to tease some of you or something. Well, since that whole ordeal is over. Pinkie, get up here!" Neon said with some joy and a smile. Pinkie picked up almost instantly, going from sad to happy to see Neon smile. She rushed over and up next to him. "Can you get me a muffin?"

"Okie dokie." Pinkie said while pulling a muffin out of her mane.

"God, I love muffins!" Neon said while devouring said muffin. Once he finished eating he patted Pinkie on the head and she leapt down to the girls. "Anyway, I'm really just here to say that I don't want us to be enemy's. We don't need to be friends, because honestly, who wants to be friends with a psychotic alien? Am I right?"

"So, what you basically came here for was to say that you aren't going to hurt anypony and that you don't want us to be enemies?" Twilight asked, just to clarify.

"Basically, yeah. I also wanted to point out the elements thing though, because that will be a problem in our future. More specifically Celli will be a problem in the future." Neon then hopped down from his place in the centre of the room and landed on the floor with a muffled 'thud'. He pulled out the magic dampener and flicked it with his wing, causing it to make a 'beep' before turning off, greying out the green lines. He tossed the dampener to Twilight, who caught it with her magic and began to study it.

"What do you mean 'Celli will be a problem in the future'?" Twilight asked, still studying the object in her magic.

"I'll tell you when its nessecary." Was his reply. He began walking towards the kitchen at a normal pace turning his back to the group  "Well, I've got to get going before sun butt arrives. Meet you back at home. Bye!" He said as he trotted through the door.

"What do you mean by 'Meet you back at home'? Neon?" She waited for a reply but got none. "Girls, do you know anything about this?" Twilight asked, looking towards the group.

Now, Rainbow was all happy and whatnot that the girls no longer hated Neon. Except for maybe Applejack. But she was not about to tell them that they were sort of related. It's not that she had anything against Neon, it's just that she didn't want to have any problems with the girls because of him. That is why she is now extremely nervous.

"Maybe he meant that he was going to visit?" Pinkie suggested.

After hearing that Rainbow instantly relaxed.

"But if he wanted to do that he could have just said that he was going to visit. Does any of you know something the rest don't?" Twilight asked, looking between all the ponies.

And she is back to being nervous. She really didn't want the girls to know that she was helping Neon. But at this rate she would be found out sooner or later. She then remembered something that Neon had said. 'If you really need help getting out of something, just scratch the red part of your mane and I will be there.'. So that's exactly what she did.

Neon then walked back into the room from the kitchen with a sandwich. He sat down on the couch and began to eat. He was about half way into another bite when he notice the stares he was getting from the other ponies.

"What?" He asked with the sandwich still in his mouth. "Do you want some or..."

"No, we just thought that you had left." Twilight said, still confused. "Why are you eating my food?"

"I'm hungry." Neon said while he started to eat again.

"So you just took my food thinking that I wouldn't mind?"

"No, I stole your food thinking 'I'm hungry.'"

"Can you just get out?" Twilight said, obviously annoyed.

"'K. I'll be visiting later." He said, finishing the sandwich. "Bye." He then vanished from the room.

"Well that was weird." Twilight said, turning back to the girls.

"Hey, I'm back." Neon said while trotting out of the kitchen, again. Now Twilight looked furious. "I was just getting a drink." He finished drinking a glass of... what ever it was and vanished again.

"Why did he have to use my food?" Twilight asked, still very annoyed and a little frustrated.

Well that was... strange to say the least. When she thought of him drawing attention away from her, she did not expect that to happen. Well at least it worked. "So. What do we do now?" Rainbow asked.

"Well since we have gotten that issue out of the way. I say that we go get lunch or something. Its almost midday and seeing him eat my food got me hungry. Do you all agree?" Twilight asked, trotting towards her saddle bags next to her desk.

The response she got was a grumble from 3 or 4 bellies.

She smiled. "I'll take that as a yes."
