Chronicles of Midnight

"Gah!" Midnight jolted awake. The same dream again. But why?

RING! RING! "Hello?" Midnight asked. "Who is it?

"Midnight, it's time you came home." Wast he response. Midnights eyes widened when he realized who it was.

"T-tia?" Big sister never calls unless it's important! As he dressed into his combat suit, Midnight began to take inventory for the 42nd time that week. "Okay. Three shortswords, two broadswords, twenty four arrows, six throwing daggers, two bows and... Shit! They're gone! The bracelets are- oh."

Midnight slapped himself and cursed. "Idiot! You are so absentminded!" As he walked out of the hotel room, he gave a look back.

"Farewell... Human life."

Later that night

"Found it! I'm coming home, Tia, Luna." Midnight said with a sigh of relief. "I wonder why?"

Little did he know, his past was coming back to haunt him... A past that will affect Equestria's opinion of him for years to come.

Meanwhile in Equestria...

"Princess, where do you think he-"

Midnight tackled Twilight with uncanny speed, knocking her to the ground. As both lay on the castle floor, Midnight kissed Twilight, drawing a gasp of surprise from her, and stood up. "Hello, love."

Twilight blushed a bright red while Celestia blanched. "Please try not to do that in public, OK Midnight?"

The Next Day

Midnight gulped down some cider. "Ah! Been a while since I had cider this good!" As he spoke, he walked out the barn door, noticing something poking out of a nearby hay bale. "What is this?" He grabbed the object in his magic and looked away in disgust.

"What the buck, Applejack? Playfilly magazine? Applejack, please tell me this isn't yours!" He said. Applejack looked away, embarrassed, , and responded. "I'm sorry, sugarcube, but... It is."

Midnight snorted in disgust, then laughed. Walking away, he tossed a small bag over his shoulder. "Oh well. Everypony has secrets. Even I do. In exchange for one of your secrets, here's one of my own." He said with a slightly unusual smile. "I enjoy a good bowl of ramen, and when getting cider, I get cider from you because its got the greatest taste." He paused, thinking of his next stop. Then it hit him, somewhat literally, as he ran into a post he hadn't noticed.

"OW!" He exclaimed. "That was a bit painful, but I know where to go now. If you wanna talk some more, meet me at Carousal Boutique." As he walked away, his mind wandered.
