Yeah, remember when I said it was a long night? Make it a week.

Because my dumb ass completely forgot that estrus is a whole week long. As can be expected, I was in bed, being cuddled by a rainbow pegasus, moderately tired despite just waking up. Poor Flossy, doubt he got any sleep with how loud Rainbow is.

Looking down at said pegasus, I can't help but review what it is I've done. I've crossed a line that would make most people back home hate me, or lose respect for me, just because one of my homies really needed it. Now, do I care?

...Nah, if they don't like it, fuck 'em. As Flossy always says, "Always help a homie out, dawg!"

As carefully as I could, I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom, carrying my clothes over my shoulder and looking forward to a cold shower. Thankfully, each room had a bathroom, with a bath and shower! I figured since this was an orphanage before, it would be a little more run down than this.

As I walk into the bathroom, I hear Rainbow groan and toss in her sleep. I close the door with a soft click, drawing the curtain and turning on the water, setting it on a rather low temperature. I've always loved the cold, it's part of the reason I'm called Frosty.

I start singing as I step under the refreshingly cold downpour, favoring Danny's parts of the song and scrubbing away the accumulated grime all the while.

I reach for the bottle of "Mane and withers" shampoo, squirting a generous amount directly into my hair, when I hear the door to the bathroom open.

Okay, this scene kinda reminds me of psycho, minus the chick.

The telltale *clip* *clop* of hooves informs me that it's a pony, (probably a mare, as the mare to stallion ratio in this damn town is 4:1) so I peek through the curtains, expecting Rainbow Dash.

Instead, Twilight was shuffling nervously, just inside the doorway. Why is she here?

....I should so mess with her.

I lather up the shampoo in my hair quickly, spreading some of the bubbles around my more intimate areas, and open the curtains with a flourish and grin.

Twilight lets out a squeak, going an even deeper shade. I frown as something clicks in my mind.

How did she get in?

"How did you get in?" I ask, crossing my arms over my wet, bare chest as I look down at her. She just looks down, avoiding eye contact.

"I teleported... remember when you gave me some of your blood to test on for magic?" she asks, finally looking up at me. I nod slowly, though in truth I remember doing no such thing. The hell is she talking about?

"Well... actually, I think we should head to the library so I can show you." she sounds nervous. Really nervous.

"Alright. Just let me get dressed and grab some breakfast." I wonder what's got her so down...

She leaves the bathroom, allowing me to rinse my hair out and dry off. As I pull up my cargo pants, the door opens and Rainbow sticks her head in, looking at me with a smile. Did she hear what just happened?

"Hey big guy, just wanted to let you know that I gotta get to work. And..." she goes red slightly "Thanks for your help."

"No problem. You're a homie now, and homies stay loyal to homies." I say simply, putting on my shirt. SHe pulls her head out of the doorway.

"Well, gotta go! Catch ya later!" she says, followed by a *Whoosh* then silence. Whelp, might as well eat.

I walk out of the room and head down to the first floor to our semi-stocked kitchen (which really took a hit after the week of estrus, us not being able to leave the house for a week and all). Flossy was already down here, munching on a red apple (Gala, I think).

"'ey! You finally up, mornin' glory?" He jabs with a grin, which I return.

"Not my fault I couldn't sleep." His smile goes a little goofy as I say this.

"You, my nigga, just got laid by a pony for a week straight, an' you don' give a fuck?" He asks as I grab a green apple.

"Dawg, you know I never give a fuck what other people think about me." I answer, holding up my fist, which he meets with his own.

"I also gotta stop by the library pretty soon, you wanna go?" I continue, raising an eyebrow as I bit into the sour apple.

"Shit, got nothin' better ta do. I'm in." He says. I feel a little better knowing Flossy's got my back. Sure, if it got to that point, I could just cap 'em, but those damn unicorns would need to people to handle.

+++++

Walking through the town was an interesting affair, majority of the mares that we passed avoiding eye contact. Thankfully, I didn't see Raindrop, or I probably would have choked that bitch.

As we got closer to the library, a nagging feeling makes itself known to me. Looking at the library, I feel as though something's not right...

"Yo Flossy, I just got a bad feeling about this." I admit, taking my knife out, ready to flick it open. Flossy seems to sense how tense I am.

"I brought my revolva' with me,dawg." He says, showing me the grip. I calm down a bit at this. No matter how powerful you might be, good luck with dodging, catching, or even following a high caliber revolver round.

With that comforting thought, I approach the door, followed closely by Flossy. What if I looked in the window before going in?

Nah, I'm sure we'll be okay. We got a gun, zombie strength and endurance, and a knife.

I knock on the door and wait, lightly gripping my knife in my pocket. Flossy fidgets at my side, glancing around.

"I got a bad feelin' 'bout this to, dawg." He admits. Just before I could answer, the door is opened.

By Celestia, flanked by a smaller, blue alicorn (sister, maybe?), Twilight was towards the back of the library, looking more and more nervous as we stood there, staring at the blue alicorn, who was staring back at us in a combination of fascination and trepidation (rhymes for days).

"I take it thou art the "Humans" mine sister has told me about?" she asks. Archaic, much?

"Yeah, He's Flossy, I'm Frosty." I answer, flicking out my knife with it's trademark *whir* *whir* *chink* and start cleaning my nails with it. Celestia raises an eyebrow at this, but says nothing as we enter, leaving the door cracked.

"I am Luna, Princess of the night. But thou may simply call me Luna." She introduces herself, straightening out slightly. Guess everyone is a little out-of-sorts after estrus.

"Twilight said the results came back, and I'm pretty sure if BOTH rulers of Equestria are here, it's pretty big."

Celestia nods, "Indeed. The magic still in your blood proves you to be very much a zombie, still. But, that's not all we found."

I raise an eyebrow at this, curiously. Something else? Flossy's eyebrows shoot up at this, he probably didn't see this coming either.

"And what might that be?" I ask, keeping my voice flat, uninterested.

"Magical readings similar to another entity that used to reside here in Equestria." Luna looks down, avoiding eye contact, as Celestia explains. Celestia's eye narrow, "One that took my sister away from me, forcing me to banish her."

Okay, this is getting deep. "And you found that in me? I know I'm not exactly a good guy but shit, you make it sound all evil."

Luna jerk her head in my direction, clearly angry, "This is not a jest! Thou mayst be in serious danger! If nightmare moon returns, our subjects will suffer!"

Nightmare moon? The hell is that?

"Wait, you tryin' ta say my boy here's possessed by some kinda whacko evil spirit?" Flossy asks suddenly, breaking the silence. When he says it like that, it does sound kinda stupid. Kinda reminds me of "The Exorcist" from back home.

"Not an evil spirit, Flossy. The ethereal manifestation of my sisters jealousy and hate." Celestia says, turning to face me with sad eyes. I grip my knife slightly. I don't like this, not one bit...

Celestia looks down at my knife, her eyes widening slightly, "It's okay, Frosty, we're not going to hurt you." She says in a calming, motherly voice.

+++++

"Relax, kid, I'm not gonna hurt you."

The figure said calmingly, pulling out a bag of powder

+++++

I lower my head, a tear rolling down my cheek as I recall my earliest memory, before looking the princess in the eye, angry.

"I hope you forgive me for not trusting that. I suddenly show little signs similar to one equestria's biggest threats, youboth come here from canterlot, and you expect me to believe that? I don't care how nice you may be, that's complete bullshit!"

Both sisters look taken aback by my sudden anger. Luna opens her mouth to retort, when Celestia cuts her off with a hoof, looking back at me.

"When you say it like that, it does sound... shady." Celestia admits, "But I mean it. We also know that you being what you are, you're not very trusting. Let me prove it to you, Frosty."

...And once again, I can't believe I'm doing this. This damn place is making me soft too.

"...Fine. But what are you gonna do?" I ask. Flossy looks to me, both shocked and...proud?

"We are merely going to banish her from your body, Frosty." Celestia explains, nodding towards Twilight. Then, the door opens, allowing entry to the rest of the girls. Okay, do they really have everything planned out already?

Well, let's get this over with.
