It Never EndsTimeLooper Chapter 1: It Never Ends By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU Even in his old age the ever-powerful alicorn who had been sent to protect them still couldn't stand to be away from his friends. "Circuit, you really need to get out more." Said the rainbow-maned pegasus they were sitting with. "Dash, you need to realize we're getting old, we cant stay nearly as fit as you!". Replied the purple unicorn sitting across from him, he remembered the names now, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle, they still argued, they still had secret crushes on each other, and they were still cute as hell when they bickered. "But he's being such a bummer, he's turning into a bookworm like you!" Dash complained, Circuit Stringer came here to protect them, not to 'hang' with them, and of course, all he would ever do is sit there, still unable to believe he was in Equestria. It had been 50 years, and he was still as stunned as when he arrived! "Rainbow, please calm down. I just wanted to relax for a while. If it makes you fell better we'll race tomorrow." The alicorn known as Circuit replied, but he instantly felt guilty about it, for he, and only he, knew that for him, tomorrow would never come, this was to be his last day, and he would miss them all. So much that he wanted them to know what would happen, but before he could, Rainbow left the library. Circuit turned to Twilight "Guess it's just us now... I need to tell you something Twilight." The unicorn was intrigued as she told him to continue talking, he had never been this open before, and didn't think he would now. "Luna and I have decided to refer to my kind as TimeLoopers, we will live our life, only to find it start from a certain point to be replayed however we wish, of course myself being the first, I have the ability to see the future to a certain extent and I know that I won't make it to tomorrow, please tell the others what i have told you, as I c-cannot..." The alicorn stopped speaking, moving, and breathing, and Twilight knew her life would never be the same, he was one of the few people to enjoy spending time with her, and had it not been for his Life-Link to the future, she would have married the stallion. A single tear fell from her eye, down her cheek, and to the floor, Circuit had died, and died guilty of knowing he had lied to Rainbow. Equestria would never be the same... ========== Ben woke up, only to find that he was on Earth, in math, daydreaming, AGAIN. He glanced to the clock, to find that about a minute had passed, almost completely scaling to his years in 'Equestria'. He and his best friend Sean knew well enough that Equestria wasn't real, and never would be, but they could dream, And so they did, they dreamed day and night for this to change, but it never did, it was just that, a dream. But they would still think about it, and hope that they were wrong... So they gathered their thing, going home to waste more hours watching My Little Pony and playing Call of Duty. Like they did every day, and then to fall asleep and dream the same dream from school earlier, and to wake up and have it start again, right from the beginning. And so they days went on, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, but months never turned to years, for both of them had a joint dream one day. That fateful day, Where they met with the devil himself, only to find that he could help them, his price? Their souls. And they refused. He countered with making one of them his errand boy, it came with great power as well, they accepted the deal, agreeing that Ben would be the one to become this 'errand boy'. And so they woke up to find themselves in the Everfree Forest, and they cheered, finally being somewhere they fit in, they were... Home. Both being young stallions, Ben an alicorn with a shattered horn, with a dark grey coat and blood red mane and tail with ice blue stripes, and Sean a unicorn with hair similar to Vinyls, and with his hair being similar to Ben's only with a bright red coat. Ben remembered his name was Circuit Stringer, and Sean... Couldn't remember his? So they walked into town hoping to find an answer there, but instead meeting the six ponies they both knew, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and of course Pinkie Pie, who immediately offered them cupcakes. After telling them their story, Twilight offered to let them stay at the library for the time being until they could get their own place, a place to call home... Circuit woke up in the middle of the night, remembering his original daydream, and what the Devil had told him... It would never end, he would be the first and only TimeLooper... ========== When they woke up Circuit found himself sitting with Twilight, reading, talking, or just enjoying each others company after he told he his personal situation. "...You see, we're not from this world, in our world you guys are just drawings for children (she got confused, so he started to say foals, translating everything himself) but you have a cult-like following, and we're part of it, or were part of it, but now thanks to a small deal, we're here, in Person, sorry, i meant in pony." Circuit still had to get used to saying these things now that he was here, in Equestria, he continued "I also have a feeling Celestia may be able to help me with this problem, and allow me to live here normally." Twilight was confused, but he would explain later, she didn't need to know quite yet how he was tethered to this universe and why he needed help, but first, Sean's name was still an issue. And so was getting a home, Sean continued to sleep, while Circuit and Twilight went out for a while, they were becoming good friends quickly, so they went to get lunch and meet the other five ponies from the day previous. as he introduced himself and told them everything he had told Twilight, and the were all willing to help in any way possible. so when they returned home, Circuit went to bed, as did Twilight when they decided it was best for Circuit to get a job, Sean would be fine until he remembered his name, so they could get their own places in Ponyville. So as they ended their first day in Equestria... Circuit was able to entirely forget his part as a TimeLooper, for the time being... To Be Continued...

A Day in The LifeTimeLooper Chapter 2: A Day in The Life By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU Circuit repeated the same routine for two weeks straight; he woke up, ate breakfast, spent the day talking with Twilight and learning about Equestria, ate diner, and went to bed. But this morning he awoke feeling bored, like he was wasting his life, so he decided it was time to go get to know some more of the residents of Ponyville better, and who better to start with than the pink, party pony... What was her name again? Pinkie Pie, that was it, so he went to Sugarcube Corner to meet Pinkie figuring she would be the easiest to befriend. After a short walk Circuit arrived at Sugarcube Corner, looking around he noticed that it was like any ordinary diner, with booths on the sides, and the kitchen and stairs in the back, behind the counter, which Circuit approached to meet Pinkie Pie. "Hey Pinkie, whats up?" Circuit asked. " Oh nothing much. Your the new pony in town right?" she replied. "Yeah. I don't know if I ever properly introduced myself. My name's Circuit Stringer, but you can call me Circuit. Nice to meet you!" "You too, Circuit! Hey, I almost forgot! I have to throw you a welcoming party!" "Sure if you want to. When is it gonna be?" She paused. " How's this Saturday?" she asked him after a few moments. Circuit thought, 'Hmm, today's Wednesday, well it's not like I have anything to do.' "Sure Pinkie, Saturday is fine." he said finally. "Okay! I'll have to let everypony know!" "Okay, it was nice talking to you, Pinkie." Circuit left Sugarcube Corner, he decided to go visit Fluttershy next as she was always welcoming of everypony and her cottage was only a short walk away... After not too long he arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, he went and knocked on the door. KNOCK KNOCK. The door slowly creaked open... "Hello... Who are you?" Fluttershy asked. "Hi, my name is Circuit Stringer, But you can call me Circuit." he replied. "Oh, you must be the new pony in town, come in..." Circuit stepped inside looking around to see the house mostly filled with animals and their respective areas. "So what brings you here?" Fluttershy inquired. "I just wanted to meet some more ponies in Ponyville. I've already met Pinkie, I needed some excitement anyway. I've been spending too much time with Twilight." "Oh, so I heard you were staying in the library for the time being." "Yeah, gets kinda boring after a while, so I'm meeting some more ponies." he shrugged simply all the wile still looking around. "That's nice, I Know I'm not very exciting but it was nice meeting you. You're welcome back anytime!" Fluttershy responded happily smiling the whole time. "Well I've gotta run, more ponies to meet. Bye Fluttershy!" "Goodbye Circuit!" she responded as loudly as she could. Circuit decided to go meet Applejack next since Sweet Apple Acres was the closest to Fluttershy's... A short walk later Circuit arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, looking around and not paying attention he walked right into Applejack. Blushing when she was the first to speak. "Well howdy there stranger! You must be the new pony in town! My names Applejack, whats yours?" she inquired. "Hi, My name's Circuit Stringer, but my friends call me Circuit." he replied. "Well howdy Circuit, nice to meet ya!" "You too Applejack." "Hey Circuit, if your not busy think ya could help me with something real quick?" "Sure!". A few minutes later when they reached their destination Applejack asked him to get an apple from the top of the tree. "How do you expect me to get that!?" Circuit asked. "Well ya got your horn, and two wings that aren't broken!" she remarked. "Oh... Yeah." Circuit was scared, he didn't know what kind of magic he was capable of, and didnt want to find out, so he flew to the apple, or he tried, would be a better word for it. But in the end he still got the apple, and when he returned to the ground, he found Apple jack on the ground laughing. "What's so funny?" he asked, oblivious to his flying. "Sugarcube your a horrid flier!" she replied. "Gee, thanks..." "Sorry, anyway, maybe you should go and ask Rainbow Dash for lessons." "Yeah i might do that, see you later Applejack." Circuit walked away not sure whether to be angry or embarrassed and decided to visit Rarity and then find Rainbow Dash... After a long walk Circuit finally made it to the Carousel Boutique. When he knocked on the door Rarity answered, obviously surprised he was there she spoke. "So you're the new pony in town, well my name's Rarity. Pleasure to meet you." Circuit held himself from making a Captain Obvious joke and instead replied with, "You too, my name is Circuit Stringer, or Circuit for short." "Well hello Circuit. I would LOVE to chat right now but i am extremely busy, can we take a rain check? I would love to get to know you better sometime, but now is not that time." "Sure, have fun i guess." Circuit left the boutique and went to find Rainbow... Circuit was looking around for the rainbow-maned pegasus, it had almost been an hour, kicking the earth under him he walked away huffing, and mumbling under his breath "Fuck this." he was sick of looking for her, he was tired, sweaty, and ready to hoof smack the next thing he saw. And with his flying skill there was no way he could fin her if she was in a cloud. Rainbow Dash was looking for the 'Flightless' alicorn known as Circuit, and after a few minutes in the high skies she found her target. Swooping down she landed gracefully behind him, 'Eh, won't hurt to scare him a bit.' she thought, but before she could scream, he turned around. "Well look who it is, remember, magic, you can't sneak up on me." he said, the smirk on his face showing him to be proud of himself. "Whatever, I was told to help you learn to fly, and just in case you didn't know my name's Rainbow Dash, yes, THE Rainbow Dash!" she responded. Circuit tilted his head feigning confusion, "Never heard of ya." "WHAT!" Circuit burst out laughing, not caring about the glare he was receiving from Dash "Oh my gosh I cannot believe you are so gullible! Of course I've heard of you, and I'd would love to have flying lessons, but I have things to do, I haven't seen my friend in awhile, and he can't remember his name so we need Celestia to help us." "Oh, okay then, another time, it was nice meeting you, I'll see ya tomorrow!" Before Circuit could reply she was gone in a blast of rainbow light. "So much for goodbye." he mumbled irritated, as he went to find his friend. When Circuit came across Sean he was walking around a hill trying to remember his name. "YO! Dude, we gotta go back to Twilight's, this has to wait 'till tomorrow. Sorry man." "It's fine, we'll find it eventually." he sighed. They went back to the library, ate, and went to sleep, as they went to bed Circuit said "Well at least the bread was moist." Sean replied with "That's what he said!" they both snickered and went to sleep, waiting 'till tomorrow to talk with Twilight about meeting the Princesses. In his dream Circuit dreamed he was flying high in the sky, with Rainbow, he knew it could never be but he still wanted it to happen, but his link to the world's timeline would never allow it. And as they were going into a loop something happened and his wings wouldn't move. He fell to the ground, HARD. And when he woke up, he was sat in front of Princess Luna herself, he went to bow, but she stopped him. "This is not the time for praise. You are in your sleep. So this is your world, not mine. Do you know why I am here?" Circuit shook his head obviously confused. "It is about your link to Equestria, and your wishes for your life here. My sister and i may be able to help, but only if you learn to focus your abilities, take flying lessons with Rainbow, and magic lessons with Twilight, they may help you, but I warn you, if this happens, you may not be able to feel these things again, even if your link is broken. But now is not the time for this. Return to your dream." And with that Circuit continued to sleep to wake in the morning and get these lessons, to make his life here easier... To Be Continued... Author's Note Hey everypony! so chapter 2 is here, and its introduced that characters, and more of the plot, the tags will make more sense when the story is set up, the action is actually the set up for the story, the sadness, and romance is the focus, but anyway, the next few chapters will focus on Sean and Circuit, and breaking the link. Either way, feel free to follow, as i will continues to work on this story for a long time to come! Rainboom out! P.S. Working on writing, so don't expect any chapters too soon, [about a week hiatus until next chapter is done.] P.P.S. So much for that, here is the revision, im going to work on the third chapter, then that will be all until school ends June 18th, I NEED a proofreader so anypony willing should PM me. 3. Lessons with RainbowAuthor's Note This chapter is nowhere near as long as I wanted it to be, but I need to build the characters and relationships before I can add any of the fluff to make the chapters better, but I can always use ideas, and a person to look these over once in a while would make it easier for me to output the story. But anyway, thanks for reading! Rainboom out. Edit: Ok, I get it, story flaws, blah blah blah, but instead of the stream of dislikes why don't you point out what's wrong instead of assuming I know, for those who don't know, I actually AM a teenager, so the advice would be useful, instead of just stomping over my project... 3. Lessons with Rainbow TimeLooper Chapter 3: Lessons with Rainbow By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU Circuit woke up the next day remembering his dream vividly, he smiled, Luna must have let him remember, he had forgotten she could do that. Silently thanking Luna he set out for the day to get flying lessons with Rainbow, and went to go find her. He decided to look at Sugarcube Corner first and see if Pinkie knew where Dash was. So he started his walk, and after about five minutes he ran into Pinkie, literally ran into her. She was the first to speak, "HeyCircuithowyadoing!" He rolled his eyes, "Hey Pinkie, have you seen Dash?" "No, i haven't, why, whats up?" "I need to get flying lessons from her." "Oh, check her house on the edge of Ponyville, she sleeps in a lot, like every day." "OK, thanks Pinkie." "No problem Circuit!" Half an hour later, when Circuit reached Rainbow's house and walked up to the door, unsurprisingly she was yawning when she answered. "Hey Dash. Can you give me flying lessons?" "Sure, meet me at the park in 30 minutes then." Circuit went to the park and waited, and waited, and waited. And started to get bored after 45 minutes, as he got up to leave, the rainbow blur slammed into him. "Sorry... I'm... Late." she stammered. "It's cool, I was just waiting for you." "OK, lets get down to business. First things first we gotta teach you balance..." And as Rainbow was teaching him to fly, Circuit was hating his life, considering how difficult it is for an alicorn to fly, nopony blamed him. Rainbow was starting to get frustrated, she didn't know that teaching an alicorn to fly would be this hard, she had assumed that it would be like teaching a filly, but it was more like teaching Scootaloo, so nearly impossible. "BUCK THIS!" exclaimed Circuit. "Calm down, that's not gonna help." Circuit slumped and his ears drooped, "But it's so bucking hard..." "Yeah, I got that, but being grumpy isn't gonna help." "Yeah. Okay. Let's go again." Circuit knew that he was in love. Dash never gave up on him, she continued to help even when he was being a pain in the flank. And he loved that about her, she perfectly represented loyalty, and now he could see it. So as they continued his lessons they went through the same thing, tries, gets annoyed, quits, tries again, does better, gets annoyed, quits... and this continued until he was able to fly by himself without crashing, it took all day but his wings were finally of use to him. "Thanks so much Dash." he said. "No problem, dude." Dash replied. "Also, I'm sorry for being such a pain. And I'm really grateful for you sticking with me." Circuit started to blush. "They don't call me Loyalty for nothing." Dash said while posing. "Yeah, I can see that, well anyway I better get back to the library, it's getting late." "Yeah, see ya later Circuit." So circuit headed back and let himself in, Spike ran up to him looking worried, "Your friend went missing!" "WHAT!?" "He just left man, I don't know where he went." Sean was sick of not knowing his name, he needed to find out, and figured Princess Celestia could use his magical signature to find it. As a unicorn making his way to Canterlot was difficult, he had to take the train, but that meant they could find him, but there was no better way. Being fairly adept with his magical skill he was able to contact the Princess and arrange a meeting with her, he was very thankful of her willingness to help him, having good friends was very important in Equestria. Circuit, Twilight, and Spike spent all night and well in to the morning looking for their missing friend. After looking for twelve hours straight Twilight decided it was time to contact her mentor about Sean. She pulled out a piece of paper, a quill, and began to write her letter to Celestia. Dear, Princess Celestia, As you know a stallion named Circuit Stringer showed up in Ponyville a few days ago, he also happened to have a friend with him, his friends name was Sean, and he has gone missing. We have been searching for twelve hours and have found no sign of Sean inside the borders of Ponyville. If you get the chance would we be very grateful for you to help us find our friend. Your Student, Twilight Sparkle "There we go!" Twilight said. "This is great, now we can find him easier!" he replied. "Yeah the Princess is usually very good about responding to my letters." Princess Celestia was starting to fear why Sean hadn't told his friends of his plan to see her, and now that she had gotten the letters she knew that he was scaring them. Celestia wondered why anybody couldn't tell a friend of a trip they were taking, but she decided to hold his wish and not tell them, and wait for him to arrive... Sean arrived at the palace the next morning, his ears drooping and his eyes baggy, he hadn't been able to sleep at all on the train like he had hoped to. So as the train slowed to a halt, and he exitied the car, he stretched his legs and made his way towards the castle. As he walked he let his eyes roam, exploring Canterlot in person was like a dream come true to him after all his time of watching the show. And it was even more impressive than he imagined, with all the shops, and the homes around the city, it was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen, the look on his face was priceless, his jaw was open just enough to tell that he was amazed by the city. So he took his time walking to the castle, he wanted to enjoy the scene while he could, the noises and smells were amazing, smells of restaurants opening for the day, sound of ponies talking, and birds chirping, it was astounding to him, the smile on his face told what it needed to, he loved it here, and was loving his time here. So Sean finally made it to the castle for his meeting with the Princess, and walked inside to see her. "Hello Princess." he said, bowing. "Please, call me Celestia, we are friends." "Of course, sorry." "No problem." she was smiling as she said this. "So why are you here?" "When I was brought here I was never able to remember my name..." "That is a problem... hmmm... let me trace your magical signature... And... DONE!" she said with a smile on her face. "According to this your name is Velvet Beat. That's a very nice name." she was smiling the whole time. "Thank you Princess." Beat was beaming and had never been so happy, he would be able to spend time in public now that he knew his own name, it was the best news he had since arriving. "Now may I inform your friends of your location?" He had forgotten about that, "Yes, of course." After about three hours Twilight, Circuit, and Spike got a reply from the Princess. Dear, Student Your friend Sean came to visit me this morning, he wanted it to be a surprise, and it will be, come to the castle tonight. Princess Celestia "This must be really good new to need to tell us in person!" Twilight exclaimed "Buck yeah!" I replied "Well let's get ourselves a train ticket there!" A few hours later the trio arrived in Canterlot and galloped to the castle to meet the princess and hear the news. They ran through the corridors to the throne room until they saw Celestia and Sean, and he was smiling like they had never seen before. "What's the news?" we all asked in unison. "I FOUND MY NAME!" Sean yelled. "Really? What is it?" Circuit asked. "My name is Velvet Beat, but just call me beat." he said grinning. To Be Continued In - Lessons With Rainbow: Secondary Skills 4. Lessons with Rainbow: Secondary SkillsTimeLooper Chapter 4: Lessons with Rainbow: Secondary Skills By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU "What's the news?" we all asked in unison. "I FOUND MY NAME!" Sean yelled. "Really, what is it?" Circuit asked. "My name is Velvet Beat, but you can just call me beat." he said grinning. The news from yesterday was great. Beat had finally found his name, so there was no worry about fitting into Equestria. There was only one thing that annoyed Circuit: Beat seemed to have had his magical skill the moment they arrived, while Circuit had to get lessons in flying, and then magic when he was done, it was like somepony had designed everything this way so there was more of him to focus on... Nah, he was just being paranoid. "So Beat, how did the Princess manage to help figure out your name?" Circuit asked. "Simple. She used my magical signature." Beat replied, shrugging. "Interesting, I didn't know that was even possible." Twilight said. "Yeah, neither did I." Beat responded. "Well it's a good thing you found out; otherwise you wouldn't have fit in very well here." "Yeah." So the trio of ponies and Spike, arrived back in Ponyville later that day after the long train ride. Circuit had been thinking the whole time of how he was supposed to hold up his end of the deal. He had a feeling that him becoming an alicorn was to make him more powerful, seeing as he was only supposed to be a pegasus when he came here. He needed to finish all of his lessons so he was able to be useful in this world, he had to remember his part of the deal to stay in Equestria. "Hey what do you say we turn in early today? I for one have a long day tomorrow. I arranged another lesson with Dash, it should be the last one if I've improved enough." Circuit explained. "Sounds good." Twilight replied. So they all walked back to the library to get some rest; it had been a long day for them after all. After getting inside Twilight and Spike went upstairs to get some rest for the night. Circuits ears drooped and he had a frown on his face after they left the room. Beat was curious what was bothering him so he went to confront his friend. "Hey bro, what's wrong?" he asked. "Our deal, I was only supposed to be a pegasus when we arrived, but I'm an alicorn." Circuit responded flickering his yellow aura to emphasize. "Yeah, maybe it's supposed to represent your extra power for the errands you're gonna have to make." "I want a way around that. Doesn't sound like fun to me." "Well one of the things I've read about was the magical being who created the elements... he is known as Harmony... Thousands of years ago he created the elements as a response to all of the evil in the world, and left them in the care of the Princesses... Our only hope would be to ask the Princesses." His ears drooping when Circuit responded "Let's do that soon." "Yeah, but for now let's get some sleep." "Sounds good!" Circuit's face perked up after that Circuit went to sleep in the loft they shared in the library, and as he fell asleep Luna came to visit him in his dreams. He assumed she came to help or give him advice, that was the only reason she ever came to visit him. Circuit began to wonder why she cared so much about somepony not even from this dimension, but he was glad she was there nonetheless. "Hello Princess Luna." "Hello. Do you know why we have come?" "No clue." "You spoke of Harmony earlier, we could sense it." "Yeah, what about him." "We would like to help thou." "And how will you do that?" "We can bring thou to Harmony, but only if you have found a reason to need his help, hold your deal for a while longer and we shall make sure to help." "Thank you Luna." "Of course Circuit, we would love to help thou with their curse. It may also help to stabilize the connection between our worlds, and that would make staying here easier for you both." So as Circuit began to wake he was glad that there was no need to worry about finding Harmony; he would be able to focus on his lessons. Speaking of instruction, he needed to find Dash for today's coaching. Hopefully it would be his last. So he went to the park to meet with Dash, and saw her sitting there waiting, on time. He shrugged, while her being on time was strange, it made his life easier in the end. "Hey Dash!" he called. "Hey Circuit! Sup?" "Here for my lessons." "Sweet! Let's get going then. First off you need to control the pitch of your wings: try that." She put her hoof on his wing and helped him learn to tilt it for movement in the air. He was in heaven. The mare of his dreams was holding his wing, he caught himself blushing and his ears drooped. Dash noticed this and grinned at him mischievously. They continued the lesson going through pitch, tilt and yaw exercises for his wings. After that, they continued on to strafing in the air, barrel rolls, and other tricks, as well as learning right himself midair. When they finished with their final lesson, Rainbow and Circuit went for a fly around the small town. They flew for a few hours, no words being exchanged until the sun started to set, when they both went to sit on a hill and watch as Celestia's sun set for the night so Luna's moon could shine. Rainbow and Circuit looked at each other as the sun went down. They both blushed and looked towards the ground. When Circuit looked back at the sky Dash took her chances and rested her head on his shoulder. He looked at her and he smiled. She had her eyes closed and was humming: something he never imagined the athletic pony to do. He assumed it would be the other way around, but either way this was the best night of his life, so far. They sat in silence for what felt like hours, but only turned out to be a few minutes. The unspoken words held more than friendship between the two ponies. For the first time Rainbow Dash had felt love and Circuit was finally able to display his feelings to her. He smiled as he wrapped a foreleg around her, pulling her closer. She sighed as the sun continued to set in the world outside of their own. For them, all that existed was the other pony in the embrace. As the moon began to rise they looked into each other’s eyes. Words were unable to display the mutual feeling of true love on this unintentionally romantic night. Circuit and Rainbow closed their eyes and kissed, there was no other way to show their feelings in that moment. The kiss lasted for minutes as they moon rose high in the sky. There was no feeling of lust in the kiss; it was just a kiss of true love between two ponies. After about five minutes of their kiss, Rainbow and Circuit parted and were finally able to speak again. All that could have been said was displayed just a few seconds earlier, but they still continued to sit there. They knew each would always be there for the other, and that this was meant to be. No force on the planet could break the true love between these two as they sat in silence. Nothing needing to be said as they looked into the midnight sky, they both smiled as Circuit tightened his hold on Rainbow, never wanting to let go. They were in love, and nopony could stop that. Completely unlike him, Circuit was the first to speak to his new marefriend. "Dash?" he said looking at her. "Hmm... Yeah Circuit?" she asked, looking into his eyes again, he was hers, and she was his, and she knew that now. "I know I don't need to say it anymore, but I love you... I-I always have." Circuit blushed as he said that. Dash sighed as he said this, "I love you too Circuit." "So... Are you my marefriend now?" Circuit asked, being the awkward teenager he was in his world instead of the mature stallion of this one. Rainbow started giggling profusely "OF COURSE, CIRCUIT!" she said playfully punching him in the arm. Both of them began to laugh at his awkwardness in the situation. They sat for another half an hour just happy to be together. They held each other, watched the stars, and occasionally kissed as they sat together through the night. There was no need to rush anything, they would be together until one of them passed on, and both of them knew that at this point. And Circuit began to feel guilty. When she died, he would never be there for her in the afterlife. He didn't know how this worked. Did everything reset, or would all his lives exist as alternate timelines to the same ending? He would find out and make sure to make things right. Circuit wanted to spend the rest of eternity with Dash; he would give anything to do that. After another half hour of sitting there enjoying each others company, Circuit finally spoke once again. "I guess we should head home Dash..." Circuit said, his ears drooping as he broke the silence. "Yeah, goodnight Circuit." Dash said. "Goodnight Dash, I... I love you..." she had flown off already, leaving him alone on the hill to ponder what had happened, until he headed back to the library. Circuit walked back to the library. No, his home, to go and think everything over, and he was very peaceful and deep in thought until... "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" Twilight yelled. Circuit jumped and his ear drooped and eyes grew big; he had never seen her angry before, "I was with Rainbow Dash..." he said so quietly he could compare to Fluttershy. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have yelled. How was your night then?" she asked grinning. "We um... We started dating..." "That's great! We have to tell everyone soon, but maybe refrain from telling Pinkie for a while." "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Anyway, goodnight. I'm tired." Circuit said as he walked upstairs to go to sleep. Princess Luna smiled, she was right, they were meant to be, and she was glad to have witnessed it herself. It was so cute when they hugged, or kissed, or even just looked into each other’s eyes. She was glad to have given them the courage to make a move. A pony's dreams never lie; they were in love from the moment they met. They just needed a little push to get rolling, and now they were! She would make sure to visit Circuit in his dreams to help out, and she would always have to be there for one of her precious ponies. She would have to contact Harmony, he had to help them. It hurt her heart to see them separate, and she couldn't imaging Dash living an eternity without him in her afterlife. She would talk to Circuit tomorrow about all of this, but for now she let him sleep. He just had the best day of his life and was going to have the worst week sometime soon when he had to perform his first errand for his deal. Until that day, let him be happy, he deserves at least that much, if not more. And she would make sure he got that, it made her happy to see her subjects happy, and he was no exception, even if he was never meant to be here, he still deserved happiness, and happiness is what he would have. Author's Note Longest chapter yet! 2000 words, so this is where the romance tag come in, as well as the sad tag, as you could see in the chapter it takes a turn for the sad when he remembers not being able to spend the afterlife with Rainbow. He can either let history write itself, and let the TwiDash take over, or he can be truly happy and find a way to make the cycle stop. Ideas, Opinions, Comments, ALL OF IT IS APPRECIATED! Rainboom out everypony, see you in the next chapter! Special thanks to my best friend Sean, the real life counterpart of beat, myself being the in real life counterpart of circuit, and my editor Sycamore for helping me out with the chapter! Any extra words are the authors not btw, I checked that.
1. It Never EndsTimeLooper Chapter 1: It Never Ends By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU Even in his old age the ever-powerful alicorn who had been sent to protect them still couldn't stand to be away from his friends. "Circuit, you really need to get out more." Said the rainbow-maned pegasus they were sitting with. "Dash, you need to realize we're getting old, we cant stay nearly as fit as you!". Replied the purple unicorn sitting across from him, he remembered the names now, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle, they still argued, they still had secret crushes on each other, and they were still cute as hell when they bickered. "But he's being such a bummer, he's turning into a bookworm like you!" Dash complained, Circuit Stringer came here to protect them, not to 'hang' with them, and of course, all he would ever do is sit there, still unable to believe he was in Equestria. It had been 50 years, and he was still as stunned as when he arrived! "Rainbow, please calm down. I just wanted to relax for a while. If it makes you fell better we'll race tomorrow." The alicorn known as Circuit replied, but he instantly felt guilty about it, for he, and only he, knew that for him, tomorrow would never come, this was to be his last day, and he would miss them all. So much that he wanted them to know what would happen, but before he could, Rainbow left the library. Circuit turned to Twilight "Guess it's just us now... I need to tell you something Twilight." The unicorn was intrigued as she told him to continue talking, he had never been this open before, and didn't think he would now. "Luna and I have decided to refer to my kind as TimeLoopers, we will live our life, only to find it start from a certain point to be replayed however we wish, of course myself being the first, I have the ability to see the future to a certain extent and I know that I won't make it to tomorrow, please tell the others what i have told you, as I c-cannot..." The alicorn stopped speaking, moving, and breathing, and Twilight knew her life would never be the same, he was one of the few people to enjoy spending time with her, and had it not been for his Life-Link to the future, she would have married the stallion. A single tear fell from her eye, down her cheek, and to the floor, Circuit had died, and died guilty of knowing he had lied to Rainbow. Equestria would never be the same... ========== Ben woke up, only to find that he was on Earth, in math, daydreaming, AGAIN. He glanced to the clock, to find that about a minute had passed, almost completely scaling to his years in 'Equestria'. He and his best friend Sean knew well enough that Equestria wasn't real, and never would be, but they could dream, And so they did, they dreamed day and night for this to change, but it never did, it was just that, a dream. But they would still think about it, and hope that they were wrong... So they gathered their thing, going home to waste more hours watching My Little Pony and playing Call of Duty. Like they did every day, and then to fall asleep and dream the same dream from school earlier, and to wake up and have it start again, right from the beginning. And so they days went on, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, but months never turned to years, for both of them had a joint dream one day. That fateful day, Where they met with the devil himself, only to find that he could help them, his price? Their souls. And they refused. He countered with making one of them his errand boy, it came with great power as well, they accepted the deal, agreeing that Ben would be the one to become this 'errand boy'. And so they woke up to find themselves in the Everfree Forest, and they cheered, finally being somewhere they fit in, they were... Home. Both being young stallions, Ben an alicorn with a shattered horn, with a dark grey coat and blood red mane and tail with ice blue stripes, and Sean a unicorn with hair similar to Vinyls, and with his hair being similar to Ben's only with a bright red coat. Ben remembered his name was Circuit Stringer, and Sean... Couldn't remember his? So they walked into town hoping to find an answer there, but instead meeting the six ponies they both knew, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and of course Pinkie Pie, who immediately offered them cupcakes. After telling them their story, Twilight offered to let them stay at the library for the time being until they could get their own place, a place to call home... Circuit woke up in the middle of the night, remembering his original daydream, and what the Devil had told him... It would never end, he would be the first and only TimeLooper... ========== When they woke up Circuit found himself sitting with Twilight, reading, talking, or just enjoying each others company after he told he his personal situation. "...You see, we're not from this world, in our world you guys are just drawings for children (she got confused, so he started to say foals, translating everything himself) but you have a cult-like following, and we're part of it, or were part of it, but now thanks to a small deal, we're here, in Person, sorry, i meant in pony." Circuit still had to get used to saying these things now that he was here, in Equestria, he continued "I also have a feeling Celestia may be able to help me with this problem, and allow me to live here normally." Twilight was confused, but he would explain later, she didn't need to know quite yet how he was tethered to this universe and why he needed help, but first, Sean's name was still an issue. And so was getting a home, Sean continued to sleep, while Circuit and Twilight went out for a while, they were becoming good friends quickly, so they went to get lunch and meet the other five ponies from the day previous. as he introduced himself and told them everything he had told Twilight, and the were all willing to help in any way possible. so when they returned home, Circuit went to bed, as did Twilight when they decided it was best for Circuit to get a job, Sean would be fine until he remembered his name, so they could get their own places in Ponyville. So as they ended their first day in Equestria... Circuit was able to entirely forget his part as a TimeLooper, for the time being... To Be Continued...

2. A Day in The LifeTimeLooper Chapter 2: A Day in The Life By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU Circuit repeated the same routine for two weeks straight; he woke up, ate breakfast, spent the day talking with Twilight and learning about Equestria, ate diner, and went to bed. But this morning he awoke feeling bored, like he was wasting his life, so he decided it was time to go get to know some more of the residents of Ponyville better, and who better to start with than the pink, party pony... What was her name again? Pinkie Pie, that was it, so he went to Sugarcube Corner to meet Pinkie figuring she would be the easiest to befriend. After a short walk Circuit arrived at Sugarcube Corner, looking around he noticed that it was like any ordinary diner, with booths on the sides, and the kitchen and stairs in the back, behind the counter, which Circuit approached to meet Pinkie Pie. "Hey Pinkie, whats up?" Circuit asked. " Oh nothing much. Your the new pony in town right?" she replied. "Yeah. I don't know if I ever properly introduced myself. My name's Circuit Stringer, but you can call me Circuit. Nice to meet you!" "You too, Circuit! Hey, I almost forgot! I have to throw you a welcoming party!" "Sure if you want to. When is it gonna be?" She paused. " How's this Saturday?" she asked him after a few moments. Circuit thought, 'Hmm, today's Wednesday, well it's not like I have anything to do.' "Sure Pinkie, Saturday is fine." he said finally. "Okay! I'll have to let everypony know!" "Okay, it was nice talking to you, Pinkie." Circuit left Sugarcube Corner, he decided to go visit Fluttershy next as she was always welcoming of everypony and her cottage was only a short walk away... After not too long he arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, he went and knocked on the door. KNOCK KNOCK. The door slowly creaked open... "Hello... Who are you?" Fluttershy asked. "Hi, my name is Circuit Stringer, But you can call me Circuit." he replied. "Oh, you must be the new pony in town, come in..." Circuit stepped inside looking around to see the house mostly filled with animals and their respective areas. "So what brings you here?" Fluttershy inquired. "I just wanted to meet some more ponies in Ponyville. I've already met Pinkie, I needed some excitement anyway. I've been spending too much time with Twilight." "Oh, so I heard you were staying in the library for the time being." "Yeah, gets kinda boring after a while, so I'm meeting some more ponies." he shrugged simply all the wile still looking around. "That's nice, I Know I'm not very exciting but it was nice meeting you. You're welcome back anytime!" Fluttershy responded happily smiling the whole time. "Well I've gotta run, more ponies to meet. Bye Fluttershy!" "Goodbye Circuit!" she responded as loudly as she could. Circuit decided to go meet Applejack next since Sweet Apple Acres was the closest to Fluttershy's... A short walk later Circuit arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, looking around and not paying attention he walked right into Applejack. Blushing when she was the first to speak. "Well howdy there stranger! You must be the new pony in town! My names Applejack, whats yours?" she inquired. "Hi, My name's Circuit Stringer, but my friends call me Circuit." he replied. "Well howdy Circuit, nice to meet ya!" "You too Applejack." "Hey Circuit, if your not busy think ya could help me with something real quick?" "Sure!". A few minutes later when they reached their destination Applejack asked him to get an apple from the top of the tree. "How do you expect me to get that!?" Circuit asked. "Well ya got your horn, and two wings that aren't broken!" she remarked. "Oh... Yeah." Circuit was scared, he didn't know what kind of magic he was capable of, and didnt want to find out, so he flew to the apple, or he tried, would be a better word for it. But in the end he still got the apple, and when he returned to the ground, he found Apple jack on the ground laughing. "What's so funny?" he asked, oblivious to his flying. "Sugarcube your a horrid flier!" she replied. "Gee, thanks..." "Sorry, anyway, maybe you should go and ask Rainbow Dash for lessons." "Yeah i might do that, see you later Applejack." Circuit walked away not sure whether to be angry or embarrassed and decided to visit Rarity and then find Rainbow Dash... After a long walk Circuit finally made it to the Carousel Boutique. When he knocked on the door Rarity answered, obviously surprised he was there she spoke. "So you're the new pony in town, well my name's Rarity. Pleasure to meet you." Circuit held himself from making a Captain Obvious joke and instead replied with, "You too, my name is Circuit Stringer, or Circuit for short." "Well hello Circuit. I would LOVE to chat right now but i am extremely busy, can we take a rain check? I would love to get to know you better sometime, but now is not that time." "Sure, have fun i guess." Circuit left the boutique and went to find Rainbow... Circuit was looking around for the rainbow-maned pegasus, it had almost been an hour, kicking the earth under him he walked away huffing, and mumbling under his breath "Fuck this." he was sick of looking for her, he was tired, sweaty, and ready to hoof smack the next thing he saw. And with his flying skill there was no way he could fin her if she was in a cloud. Rainbow Dash was looking for the 'Flightless' alicorn known as Circuit, and after a few minutes in the high skies she found her target. Swooping down she landed gracefully behind him, 'Eh, won't hurt to scare him a bit.' she thought, but before she could scream, he turned around. "Well look who it is, remember, magic, you can't sneak up on me." he said, the smirk on his face showing him to be proud of himself. "Whatever, I was told to help you learn to fly, and just in case you didn't know my name's Rainbow Dash, yes, THE Rainbow Dash!" she responded. Circuit tilted his head feigning confusion, "Never heard of ya." "WHAT!" Circuit burst out laughing, not caring about the glare he was receiving from Dash "Oh my gosh I cannot believe you are so gullible! Of course I've heard of you, and I'd would love to have flying lessons, but I have things to do, I haven't seen my friend in awhile, and he can't remember his name so we need Celestia to help us." "Oh, okay then, another time, it was nice meeting you, I'll see ya tomorrow!" Before Circuit could reply she was gone in a blast of rainbow light. "So much for goodbye." he mumbled irritated, as he went to find his friend. When Circuit came across Sean he was walking around a hill trying to remember his name. "YO! Dude, we gotta go back to Twilight's, this has to wait 'till tomorrow. Sorry man." "It's fine, we'll find it eventually." he sighed. They went back to the library, ate, and went to sleep, as they went to bed Circuit said "Well at least the bread was moist." Sean replied with "That's what he said!" they both snickered and went to sleep, waiting 'till tomorrow to talk with Twilight about meeting the Princesses. In his dream Circuit dreamed he was flying high in the sky, with Rainbow, he knew it could never be but he still wanted it to happen, but his link to the world's timeline would never allow it. And as they were going into a loop something happened and his wings wouldn't move. He fell to the ground, HARD. And when he woke up, he was sat in front of Princess Luna herself, he went to bow, but she stopped him. "This is not the time for praise. You are in your sleep. So this is your world, not mine. Do you know why I am here?" Circuit shook his head obviously confused. "It is about your link to Equestria, and your wishes for your life here. My sister and i may be able to help, but only if you learn to focus your abilities, take flying lessons with Rainbow, and magic lessons with Twilight, they may help you, but I warn you, if this happens, you may not be able to feel these things again, even if your link is broken. But now is not the time for this. Return to your dream." And with that Circuit continued to sleep to wake in the morning and get these lessons, to make his life here easier... To Be Continued... Author's Note Hey everypony! so chapter 2 is here, and its introduced that characters, and more of the plot, the tags will make more sense when the story is set up, the action is actually the set up for the story, the sadness, and romance is the focus, but anyway, the next few chapters will focus on Sean and Circuit, and breaking the link. Either way, feel free to follow, as i will continues to work on this story for a long time to come! Rainboom out! P.S. Working on writing, so don't expect any chapters too soon, [about a week hiatus until next chapter is done.] P.P.S. So much for that, here is the revision, im going to work on the third chapter, then that will be all until school ends June 18th, I NEED a proofreader so anypony willing should PM me.
3. Lessons with RainbowAuthor's Note This chapter is nowhere near as long as I wanted it to be, but I need to build the characters and relationships before I can add any of the fluff to make the chapters better, but I can always use ideas, and a person to look these over once in a while would make it easier for me to output the story. But anyway, thanks for reading! Rainboom out. Edit: Ok, I get it, story flaws, blah blah blah, but instead of the stream of dislikes why don't you point out what's wrong instead of assuming I know, for those who don't know, I actually AM a teenager, so the advice would be useful, instead of just stomping over my project... 3. Lessons with Rainbow TimeLooper Chapter 3: Lessons with Rainbow By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU Circuit woke up the next day remembering his dream vividly, he smiled, Luna must have let him remember, he had forgotten she could do that. Silently thanking Luna he set out for the day to get flying lessons with Rainbow, and went to go find her. He decided to look at Sugarcube Corner first and see if Pinkie knew where Dash was. So he started his walk, and after about five minutes he ran into Pinkie, literally ran into her. She was the first to speak, "HeyCircuithowyadoing!" He rolled his eyes, "Hey Pinkie, have you seen Dash?" "No, i haven't, why, whats up?" "I need to get flying lessons from her." "Oh, check her house on the edge of Ponyville, she sleeps in a lot, like every day." "OK, thanks Pinkie." "No problem Circuit!" Half an hour later, when Circuit reached Rainbow's house and walked up to the door, unsurprisingly she was yawning when she answered. "Hey Dash. Can you give me flying lessons?" "Sure, meet me at the park in 30 minutes then." Circuit went to the park and waited, and waited, and waited. And started to get bored after 45 minutes, as he got up to leave, the rainbow blur slammed into him. "Sorry... I'm... Late." she stammered. "It's cool, I was just waiting for you." "OK, lets get down to business. First things first we gotta teach you balance..." And as Rainbow was teaching him to fly, Circuit was hating his life, considering how difficult it is for an alicorn to fly, nopony blamed him. Rainbow was starting to get frustrated, she didn't know that teaching an alicorn to fly would be this hard, she had assumed that it would be like teaching a filly, but it was more like teaching Scootaloo, so nearly impossible. "BUCK THIS!" exclaimed Circuit. "Calm down, that's not gonna help." Circuit slumped and his ears drooped, "But it's so bucking hard..." "Yeah, I got that, but being grumpy isn't gonna help." "Yeah. Okay. Let's go again." Circuit knew that he was in love. Dash never gave up on him, she continued to help even when he was being a pain in the flank. And he loved that about her, she perfectly represented loyalty, and now he could see it. So as they continued his lessons they went through the same thing, tries, gets annoyed, quits, tries again, does better, gets annoyed, quits... and this continued until he was able to fly by himself without crashing, it took all day but his wings were finally of use to him. "Thanks so much Dash." he said. "No problem, dude." Dash replied. "Also, I'm sorry for being such a pain. And I'm really grateful for you sticking with me." Circuit started to blush. "They don't call me Loyalty for nothing." Dash said while posing. "Yeah, I can see that, well anyway I better get back to the library, it's getting late." "Yeah, see ya later Circuit." So circuit headed back and let himself in, Spike ran up to him looking worried, "Your friend went missing!" "WHAT!?" "He just left man, I don't know where he went." Sean was sick of not knowing his name, he needed to find out, and figured Princess Celestia could use his magical signature to find it. As a unicorn making his way to Canterlot was difficult, he had to take the train, but that meant they could find him, but there was no better way. Being fairly adept with his magical skill he was able to contact the Princess and arrange a meeting with her, he was very thankful of her willingness to help him, having good friends was very important in Equestria. Circuit, Twilight, and Spike spent all night and well in to the morning looking for their missing friend. After looking for twelve hours straight Twilight decided it was time to contact her mentor about Sean. She pulled out a piece of paper, a quill, and began to write her letter to Celestia. Dear, Princess Celestia, As you know a stallion named Circuit Stringer showed up in Ponyville a few days ago, he also happened to have a friend with him, his friends name was Sean, and he has gone missing. We have been searching for twelve hours and have found no sign of Sean inside the borders of Ponyville. If you get the chance would we be very grateful for you to help us find our friend. Your Student, Twilight Sparkle "There we go!" Twilight said. "This is great, now we can find him easier!" he replied. "Yeah the Princess is usually very good about responding to my letters." Princess Celestia was starting to fear why Sean hadn't told his friends of his plan to see her, and now that she had gotten the letters she knew that he was scaring them. Celestia wondered why anybody couldn't tell a friend of a trip they were taking, but she decided to hold his wish and not tell them, and wait for him to arrive... Sean arrived at the palace the next morning, his ears drooping and his eyes baggy, he hadn't been able to sleep at all on the train like he had hoped to. So as the train slowed to a halt, and he exitied the car, he stretched his legs and made his way towards the castle. As he walked he let his eyes roam, exploring Canterlot in person was like a dream come true to him after all his time of watching the show. And it was even more impressive than he imagined, with all the shops, and the homes around the city, it was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen, the look on his face was priceless, his jaw was open just enough to tell that he was amazed by the city. So he took his time walking to the castle, he wanted to enjoy the scene while he could, the noises and smells were amazing, smells of restaurants opening for the day, sound of ponies talking, and birds chirping, it was astounding to him, the smile on his face told what it needed to, he loved it here, and was loving his time here. So Sean finally made it to the castle for his meeting with the Princess, and walked inside to see her. "Hello Princess." he said, bowing. "Please, call me Celestia, we are friends." "Of course, sorry." "No problem." she was smiling as she said this. "So why are you here?" "When I was brought here I was never able to remember my name..." "That is a problem... hmmm... let me trace your magical signature... And... DONE!" she said with a smile on her face. "According to this your name is Velvet Beat. That's a very nice name." she was smiling the whole time. "Thank you Princess." Beat was beaming and had never been so happy, he would be able to spend time in public now that he knew his own name, it was the best news he had since arriving. "Now may I inform your friends of your location?" He had forgotten about that, "Yes, of course." After about three hours Twilight, Circuit, and Spike got a reply from the Princess. Dear, Student Your friend Sean came to visit me this morning, he wanted it to be a surprise, and it will be, come to the castle tonight. Princess Celestia "This must be really good new to need to tell us in person!" Twilight exclaimed "Buck yeah!" I replied "Well let's get ourselves a train ticket there!" A few hours later the trio arrived in Canterlot and galloped to the castle to meet the princess and hear the news. They ran through the corridors to the throne room until they saw Celestia and Sean, and he was smiling like they had never seen before. "What's the news?" we all asked in unison. "I FOUND MY NAME!" Sean yelled. "Really? What is it?" Circuit asked. "My name is Velvet Beat, but just call me beat." he said grinning. To Be Continued In - Lessons With Rainbow: Secondary Skills
4. Lessons with Rainbow: Secondary SkillsTimeLooper Chapter 4: Lessons with Rainbow: Secondary Skills By: RD-RAINBOOMS-YOU "What's the news?" we all asked in unison. "I FOUND MY NAME!" Sean yelled. "Really, what is it?" Circuit asked. "My name is Velvet Beat, but you can just call me beat." he said grinning. The news from yesterday was great. Beat had finally found his name, so there was no worry about fitting into Equestria. There was only one thing that annoyed Circuit: Beat seemed to have had his magical skill the moment they arrived, while Circuit had to get lessons in flying, and then magic when he was done, it was like somepony had designed everything this way so there was more of him to focus on... Nah, he was just being paranoid. "So Beat, how did the Princess manage to help figure out your name?" Circuit asked. "Simple. She used my magical signature." Beat replied, shrugging. "Interesting, I didn't know that was even possible." Twilight said. "Yeah, neither did I." Beat responded. "Well it's a good thing you found out; otherwise you wouldn't have fit in very well here." "Yeah." So the trio of ponies and Spike, arrived back in Ponyville later that day after the long train ride. Circuit had been thinking the whole time of how he was supposed to hold up his end of the deal. He had a feeling that him becoming an alicorn was to make him more powerful, seeing as he was only supposed to be a pegasus when he came here. He needed to finish all of his lessons so he was able to be useful in this world, he had to remember his part of the deal to stay in Equestria. "Hey what do you say we turn in early today? I for one have a long day tomorrow. I arranged another lesson with Dash, it should be the last one if I've improved enough." Circuit explained. "Sounds good." Twilight replied. So they all walked back to the library to get some rest; it had been a long day for them after all. After getting inside Twilight and Spike went upstairs to get some rest for the night. Circuits ears drooped and he had a frown on his face after they left the room. Beat was curious what was bothering him so he went to confront his friend. "Hey bro, what's wrong?" he asked. "Our deal, I was only supposed to be a pegasus when we arrived, but I'm an alicorn." Circuit responded flickering his yellow aura to emphasize. "Yeah, maybe it's supposed to represent your extra power for the errands you're gonna have to make." "I want a way around that. Doesn't sound like fun to me." "Well one of the things I've read about was the magical being who created the elements... he is known as Harmony... Thousands of years ago he created the elements as a response to all of the evil in the world, and left them in the care of the Princesses... Our only hope would be to ask the Princesses." His ears drooping when Circuit responded "Let's do that soon." "Yeah, but for now let's get some sleep." "Sounds good!" Circuit's face perked up after that Circuit went to sleep in the loft they shared in the library, and as he fell asleep Luna came to visit him in his dreams. He assumed she came to help or give him advice, that was the only reason she ever came to visit him. Circuit began to wonder why she cared so much about somepony not even from this dimension, but he was glad she was there nonetheless. "Hello Princess Luna." "Hello. Do you know why we have come?" "No clue." "You spoke of Harmony earlier, we could sense it." "Yeah, what about him." "We would like to help thou." "And how will you do that?" "We can bring thou to Harmony, but only if you have found a reason to need his help, hold your deal for a while longer and we shall make sure to help." "Thank you Luna." "Of course Circuit, we would love to help thou with their curse. It may also help to stabilize the connection between our worlds, and that would make staying here easier for you both." So as Circuit began to wake he was glad that there was no need to worry about finding Harmony; he would be able to focus on his lessons. Speaking of instruction, he needed to find Dash for today's coaching. Hopefully it would be his last. So he went to the park to meet with Dash, and saw her sitting there waiting, on time. He shrugged, while her being on time was strange, it made his life easier in the end. "Hey Dash!" he called. "Hey Circuit! Sup?" "Here for my lessons." "Sweet! Let's get going then. First off you need to control the pitch of your wings: try that." She put her hoof on his wing and helped him learn to tilt it for movement in the air. He was in heaven. The mare of his dreams was holding his wing, he caught himself blushing and his ears drooped. Dash noticed this and grinned at him mischievously. They continued the lesson going through pitch, tilt and yaw exercises for his wings. After that, they continued on to strafing in the air, barrel rolls, and other tricks, as well as learning right himself midair. When they finished with their final lesson, Rainbow and Circuit went for a fly around the small town. They flew for a few hours, no words being exchanged until the sun started to set, when they both went to sit on a hill and watch as Celestia's sun set for the night so Luna's moon could shine. Rainbow and Circuit looked at each other as the sun went down. They both blushed and looked towards the ground. When Circuit looked back at the sky Dash took her chances and rested her head on his shoulder. He looked at her and he smiled. She had her eyes closed and was humming: something he never imagined the athletic pony to do. He assumed it would be the other way around, but either way this was the best night of his life, so far. They sat in silence for what felt like hours, but only turned out to be a few minutes. The unspoken words held more than friendship between the two ponies. For the first time Rainbow Dash had felt love and Circuit was finally able to display his feelings to her. He smiled as he wrapped a foreleg around her, pulling her closer. She sighed as the sun continued to set in the world outside of their own. For them, all that existed was the other pony in the embrace. As the moon began to rise they looked into each other’s eyes. Words were unable to display the mutual feeling of true love on this unintentionally romantic night. Circuit and Rainbow closed their eyes and kissed, there was no other way to show their feelings in that moment. The kiss lasted for minutes as they moon rose high in the sky. There was no feeling of lust in the kiss; it was just a kiss of true love between two ponies. After about five minutes of their kiss, Rainbow and Circuit parted and were finally able to speak again. All that could have been said was displayed just a few seconds earlier, but they still continued to sit there. They knew each would always be there for the other, and that this was meant to be. No force on the planet could break the true love between these two as they sat in silence. Nothing needing to be said as they looked into the midnight sky, they both smiled as Circuit tightened his hold on Rainbow, never wanting to let go. They were in love, and nopony could stop that. Completely unlike him, Circuit was the first to speak to his new marefriend. "Dash?" he said looking at her. "Hmm... Yeah Circuit?" she asked, looking into his eyes again, he was hers, and she was his, and she knew that now. "I know I don't need to say it anymore, but I love you... I-I always have." Circuit blushed as he said that. Dash sighed as he said this, "I love you too Circuit." "So... Are you my marefriend now?" Circuit asked, being the awkward teenager he was in his world instead of the mature stallion of this one. Rainbow started giggling profusely "OF COURSE, CIRCUIT!" she said playfully punching him in the arm. Both of them began to laugh at his awkwardness in the situation. They sat for another half an hour just happy to be together. They held each other, watched the stars, and occasionally kissed as they sat together through the night. There was no need to rush anything, they would be together until one of them passed on, and both of them knew that at this point. And Circuit began to feel guilty. When she died, he would never be there for her in the afterlife. He didn't know how this worked. Did everything reset, or would all his lives exist as alternate timelines to the same ending? He would find out and make sure to make things right. Circuit wanted to spend the rest of eternity with Dash; he would give anything to do that. After another half hour of sitting there enjoying each others company, Circuit finally spoke once again. "I guess we should head home Dash..." Circuit said, his ears drooping as he broke the silence. "Yeah, goodnight Circuit." Dash said. "Goodnight Dash, I... I love you..." she had flown off already, leaving him alone on the hill to ponder what had happened, until he headed back to the library. Circuit walked back to the library. No, his home, to go and think everything over, and he was very peaceful and deep in thought until... "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" Twilight yelled. Circuit jumped and his ear drooped and eyes grew big; he had never seen her angry before, "I was with Rainbow Dash..." he said so quietly he could compare to Fluttershy. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have yelled. How was your night then?" she asked grinning. "We um... We started dating..." "That's great! We have to tell everyone soon, but maybe refrain from telling Pinkie for a while." "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Anyway, goodnight. I'm tired." Circuit said as he walked upstairs to go to sleep. Princess Luna smiled, she was right, they were meant to be, and she was glad to have witnessed it herself. It was so cute when they hugged, or kissed, or even just looked into each other’s eyes. She was glad to have given them the courage to make a move. A pony's dreams never lie; they were in love from the moment they met. They just needed a little push to get rolling, and now they were! She would make sure to visit Circuit in his dreams to help out, and she would always have to be there for one of her precious ponies. She would have to contact Harmony, he had to help them. It hurt her heart to see them separate, and she couldn't imaging Dash living an eternity without him in her afterlife. She would talk to Circuit tomorrow about all of this, but for now she let him sleep. He just had the best day of his life and was going to have the worst week sometime soon when he had to perform his first errand for his deal. Until that day, let him be happy, he deserves at least that much, if not more. And she would make sure he got that, it made her happy to see her subjects happy, and he was no exception, even if he was never meant to be here, he still deserved happiness, and happiness is what he would have. Author's Note Longest chapter yet! 2000 words, so this is where the romance tag come in, as well as the sad tag, as you could see in the chapter it takes a turn for the sad when he remembers not being able to spend the afterlife with Rainbow. He can either let history write itself, and let the TwiDash take over, or he can be truly happy and find a way to make the cycle stop. Ideas, Opinions, Comments, ALL OF IT IS APPRECIATED! Rainboom out everypony, see you in the next chapter! Special thanks to my best friend Sean, the real life counterpart of beat, myself being the in real life counterpart of circuit, and my editor Sycamore for helping me out with the chapter!
