The group had departed from the changeling kingdom with the cure they were seeking. Queen Chrysalis had join the group to try to seek aid from Celestia and Luna for her people. It was awkward even though the group had realized the queen it was still weird. Zin didn't mind and Pinkie......was well Pinkie. Though it wasn't until Twilight had pulled out a book. Chrysalis eye's had lit up and she talked with Twilight about book's. Rainbow just called them egghead's only for Twilight to reply that she read's Daring Doo books which shut her up.
The group had arrived at Ponyville.
The ponies looked at Chrysalis with strange look's but didn't do anything.
"Strange....they not freaking out or anything."
"Ponyville don't get a lot of new's from Canterlot. Plus when Zecora had arrived here first everyone thought she was a evil witch. No offense Zecora." Twilight spoke.
Zecora nodded her head.
"The royal guard also don't worry every town about these thing's."
Zin just nodded his head but looked up and saw that they were at the hospital.
The group ran inside and into the room where Spike along with the princess's. All three looked tired which could be could be seen by the bags under their eye's as well as that their mane were not curvy as well. The princess's horn's were glowing.
"Princess!"
Celestia and Luna looked at them.
"Twilight....do...you have the plant?"
"Yes we do."
"You must hurry and make the cure. The poison had spread quickly and my sister and I are holding it back."
Zecora had immediately grabbed the plant and ran outside to the doctors asking where they keep their equipment.
The group couldn't do anything but wait as Zecora made the cure.
It wasn't long as Zecora entered with a vial that had a blue liquid in it. She walked over the Cutie Mark Crusader's and began to pull the liquid down their mouth's. After she was done with it she looked at Celestia and Luna and nodded her head which caused them to stop their spell.
The group had waited and waited. It has been three whole minute's but the three fillies weren't moving. Their sister's walked over to them.
"Scoots?" "Applebloom?" "Sweetie Belle?"
They still didn't respond and tears had begun to form in the three eye's as they wrapped their hand''s around their sister's and pulled them to their chest's. Rainbow was trying to stop crying but tear's continued to pour out of her eye's.
The group had put their head's down with tears in their eye's while Zin just stared with no emotion's.
"...."
The group thought they heard something and saw Rarity, Applejack along with Rainbow pulled their head's back to look at the three.
The three Cutie Mark Crusader slowly but surly opened their eye's.
"Sister?" All three had confused looks but their sister's just replied by pulling them closer.
"Uh did we miss something?" Everyone in the room just chuckled.
Zecora walked forward and explained what happened. After her explanation the three looked at Zin with guilty looks.
"Um Zin....I ..uh we...We sorry." The three had their head's bowed not wanting to look at Zin.
The three felt their head's get patted and looked up at Zin who was eye smiling.
"I'm Glad you three are ok."
The girl's smiled at Zin.
"But can you three not do that again. If you want to see something just ask me ok." "OK!"
Zin just chuckled but then turned serious and looked at the princess's.
"We need to talk." The two nodded their head's. Zin looked over at Chrysalis and smiled.
"Well come on we talking." She just nodded her head.
"Shouldn't you be coming Twilight?"
"Me? Why?"
"Well you are a princess so after you....Princess." Zin bowed.
Chrysalis along with the Princess's let out a chuckle while Twilight just gave Zin a deadpan look.
"Very funny."
Celestia turned to the rest in the room.
"All of you can come out when you are ready. I'm going to stop at a place for some tea.Now where can I"
She was cut off by Pinkie who had appeared in her face.
"Ooh ooh ooh how about Sugarcube Corner? We can have fun with a Sweetie Belle Applebloom and Scootaloo got well party and then we can tell stories."
As Pinkie rambled on Zin couldn't help but smile but then sweat drop as he saw she pulled out a cannon out of no where.
"I could understand if she was a shinobi or did hand sign's but just out of nowhere?" Zin watched as Twilight shoved her hand in Pinkie mouth but she continued to talk but it was muffled.
"She would make a good shinobi under water with the way she doesn't run out of breathe."
Pinkie had calmed down.
"Pinkie as much as everyone would love that why not just a nice evening so the princess's can rest. Twilight removed her hand to let her speak.
Pinkie stood there thinking then smiled. 'Okie doki Loki! Ooh I better tell Mr's and Mr Cake.!"
Everyone was silent and just watched as Pinkie had ran out a window without breaking it and didn't fall.
Everyone just watched her as she left dust behind.
"How does she do that?" Zin thought but just shook his head.
He then looked over at Spike who was standing by the bed looking like he was getting ready to pass out.
Rarity saw where Zin was looking at and walked over to Spike.
"Spikey-wikey you can sleep now." Spike shook his head no. "I have to make sure the girl's are ok."
Rarity looks confused at Zin who looked at Celestia.
"How long as he been up?"
"I don't know. I told him to get rest and he said he would so I thought he did."
"As w.....I." Luna had spoke causing everyone to look at her. Luna took a breathe and began to speak.
"I thought Spike had only slept and woke up when it was my turn."
Everyone was silent until Rarity shouted "He' been awake the whole time?!"
Rarity then looks at Spike.
"Darling they are ok. So please rest."
Spike just looks at her but his eye's slowly closed and fell forward and was caught by Rarity who began to run her hand through his hair.
"Take care of him."
Rarity answer was just a nod. Zin walked into the hall where the other's were waiting.
Zin began to walk with them in silence. Except Twilight kept asking questions about changeling's which Chrysalis answered.
"Can your race can eat other things beside love?"
"No."
"But I just saw you eat a muffin!" The other three looked at Chrysalis who was munching on a muffin with a embarrass look.
"We can eat food and drink but it just doesn't feel us up." They just looked at her.
"It pretty much means that we can taste it but it would be like pulling water onto the sun."
"Only to cause it to evaporate." Twilight finished.
"Yea."
"We're here." Zin spoke.
Zin couldn't really believe at the house he was looking at.
"This world is probably going to keep surprising me." This caused chuckles.
As soon they walked in Pinkie appeared in front of them causing Chrysalis to jump.
"Hello I am Pinkie and I will be your waiter!" Pinkie shouted.
The other's stood there looking at her why she had her poofy smile.
".......Pinkie do you know what a waiter is?"
The mare put her hand on her chin as she thought.
"Nope." with that Pinkie waked off.
"Anyway lets have a seat."
The group had sat down at a table. Twilight was on the left and Chrysalis was on the right of Zin. Across from them Celestia and Luna were seated.
"Welcome may I......."
Zin looked over to see a pony that was wearing a large blue dress with a yellow apron.
The pony was looking at Chrysalis with a scared look.
"Queen C..c..c.Chrysalis!" While taking a step back.
The group looked at her.
"It's ok my little Pony. She's a friend. We were just hoping to have some tea and a few muffins please." Celestia spoke.
Pinkie appeared out of no where with tea and muffins.
"Here you go!" as she put the stuff on the table.
Zin looked at the other pony.
"What's your name?"
The pony was still looking at Chrysalis but not with fear just curiosity. She looked at Zin.
"I'm Cake but everyone calls me Mr's Cake. Who are you dearie?" Zin sweat drop.
"First Pinkie calls me Zinny now dearie." Zin thought but answered her question.
"Mine name is Zin and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Zin turned and saw the three princess's drinking their tea but were looking at Chrysalis so Zin looked at her.
Chrysalis was smelling the muffin and was poking it but then took a bite out of a muffin and her eye's went wide and she began to devour the muffins.
The group let out laughs even Mr's Cake and Chrysalis had muffin pieces on her face just blushed.
"So Mr's Cake where's Mr Cake?"
Mr's Cake answered Twilight question. "He went to Canterlot for a business trip but he's supposed to return tomorrow."
Zin watched Celestia and Luna as they ate.
"Their mane is back to flowing and they look better."
Celestia let out a burp. "Excuse me." *BURP!* Everyone looked at Luna who just stuck her tongue at everyone.
Everyone let out a chuckle.
"We should get going. Twilight I sent a letter to your brother to meet us at your library."
"My B.B.B.F.F is coming here!" Twilight shouted with happiness.
Zin cocked his head to the side "B.B.B.F.F?"
The group had went outside after paying for their food and telling Mr's Cake goodbye and began to make their way to the library.
"Its means Big Brother Best Friend Forever." Twilight replied.
"What's your brother name?"
Twilight immediately began to tell Zin everything about her brother.
"Your brother sound's like someone who I like to meet."
Twilight just shook her head yes.
Zin looked at Chrysalis who was looking down.
"What's wrong?"
"You remember how I almost overthrew Canterlot?" Zin shook his head yes. She began to tell him how she did it.
"Hmm well I'm sure everything is alright especially if he is like Twilight said.
Twilight shook her head yes. "See everything will be ok."
The group had finally arrived at the library.
The group had began to step forward but Zin reached and grabbed his weapon and swung the chain around untill he caught it.
"ZIn what are you doing?!" Twilight yelled.
There was a few thunks as spears had stabbed into the ground.
"Royal guard spear's."
Zin looked to his right to see some royal guard's come out of a bush and more appeared from the left.
Zin looked forward to see a guard with different armor who was glaring at Chrysalis who was cowering under the look until Zin stepped in front of her to hide her.
"B.B.B.F.F.?"
