Revenge of Jack

Chapter 9 - Family Buisness

Winter was already coming, so i was on my way to Rarity shop, i had to ask her to make for me warm clothes, perhaps a jacket would be good. When i entered her shop, she was behind her desk, working on some kind of a dress, i dont really know for who that would be. Her ears perked out as bell jiggled when i entered, but she was still not moving her gaze from a dress.

"Hello darling, how can i help you?"

"Hey Rarity, can i ask you something?" She finaly looked at me and smiled.

"Oh, hello Jack. What is it?"

"I will need a set of warm clothes, something i would wear throu winter. Do you think you can do it?"

"Of course yes, darling! I will just need to have this little one done and i will get straight to your request!" She happily said as she continuted her work. I was about to leave when suddenly i heard trotting behind me.

"Heya Jack!" I looked behind and saw Sweetie Belle, looking at me with wide grin.

"Oh, hey little one."

"Jack, can i ask you something?" I could see Rarity ears perk up again. It's not nice to eavesdrop.

"Sure, go on."

"Well, me and my friends were thinking about ways to get our cutie marks... Lately we've been trying cutie mark stalkers, but then we heard it's illegal."

"Wait a second, you were stalking somebody? Who?"

"You!" I looked at her in disbelieve.

"...You were stalking me? How long?"

"Soon before Apple Bloom got sick. It wasnt really hard since you've been only walking around Ponyville or working at the Sweet Apple Acres or-"

"So what do you need from me?" Something tells me if i wouldnt change that topic, something would broke in me and someone would get hurt.

"Ah, right! So since Apple Bloom got better, we wanted to become a cutie mark Crusaders doctors, but we couldnt find anypony sick or willing to let us help him... So i wanted to ask if you have any ilness that we could take care of!" She happily said. You three just want to kill me, dont you?

"Well, i have to dissapoint you, right now i'm fine."  Rarity sighed in relief at that, and Sweetie Belle looked rather sad at that.

"Ouh, i see... Well, what are you planning for now?" Hmmm, that's a good question...

"Hmmm... I dont have anything planned for now..." It would be better if i would just pretend to lost my voice at that point. Sweetie Belle grinned at that.

"Great! You can help us! Hold on, i will get Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, let's meet in front of town hall!" Before i could say anything, she trotted outside. I sighed and looked at Rarity, who only shook her head and get back to her work. Eh, what cant kill me will make me stronger.

I lazily left Carousel Boutique and went first to library. When i entered, Twilight wasn't anywhere, and Spike was busy cleaning bookcases. I went to my room and picked some of bits i stored. Sweet Apple Acres is paying quite a lot, even if they seem to be poor. I've never had a problem with money so far, and even i was giving away some bits to others if they didnt had. With a sack of twenty bits with me, i went straight to Town Hall. When i arrived, cutie mark crusaders were already waiting for me.

"Ah, there ya are Jack! What did took ya so long?" Apple Bloom asked, looking rather bored.

"Nothing important. So, what have you planned?" They looked at eachother before they screamed at the same time.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS STUNTPONIES! YAY!" ...They mean stuntmans?

"Are you serious? This is rather dangerous." They looked at me like i'm dumb.

"Of course it's dangerous, duhh!" Scootaloo said, rolling her eyes. "This is why we want to do this!"

"Stuntponies are doing the action part instead of actors, so they are in the most important parts of the movie! Not even mentioning all the fun they have from doing it! I was a little bit worried if we will be safe, but Scootaloo explained me that other ponies wont allow anything bad happen to us!" Sweetie Belle happily said, i could see Scootaloo shaking her head behind her. These kids... have no idea what they are talking about. Perhaps it would be fun watching how they are killing themself... But as long as i'm still sane, i'll need to keep them safe.

"Alright kids, let's do this whole stuntman thing, but on one condition."

"What is it?" They asked at the same time.

"First, we're going to watch a typical stuntman work, then i'll let you decide if you're sure you want to try that." If these ponies will see how fucked up stuntman work is, maybe they will give up.

"Alright, but where will you find a stuntpony?" Scootaloo asked, which caused me to smile darkly.

"Let's visit Rainbow Dash..."

Twenty Minutes Later

"Wait, once again, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to show us some of your cool tricks!" From what i saw, she doing her tricks is pretty much what stuntmans are doing. I only hope she wont hurt herself too much. Or at all.

"Alright then folks, step aside and watch me in action!" Crusaders nodded, looking rather confused. Rainbow Dash slowly walked away as Scootaloo approached me.

"So, i dont want to say it's not cool to see Rainbow Dash and all that stuff, but why she?"

"Trust me, her tricks is pretty much what stuntmans are doing." They all nodded, still looking unsure. We've been watching Rainbow Dash preparing to her trick.

As soon as she took to the sky, she was already fast enough to get at the level of clouds within five seconds. She started to circle around, gaining speed all the time while doing that. After a second, a cloud started to create, getting slowly bigger and bigger. After a while, Rainbow Dash suddenly bolted to the right, flying far away from the cloud. Few seconds later, she flew straight at the cloud. I didnt really knowed what she tried to do by that, but she suddenly went throu that cloud and bolted straight at the ground, like a falling meteor. Ouh, that had to hurt. If she's still alive, that's it." I quickly ran to her, crusaders next to me. I could see Rainbow Dash's head protrudes over the crater she made when we approached her.

"Rainbow Dash, are you ok?" Scootaloo quickly asked as she trotter to her first.

"I...I t-think so..." She tried to stand up, only to collaps again with rather loud scream of pain. Now that i can look closer...I'm almost sure her leg shouldnt bend in that way.

"Alright Dashie, dont move." I said as i slowly approached her closer.

"What are you- Wait, did you called Dashie?" ...I did? I slowly reached and carefully picked her up, making myself sure i didnt touched her bad leg. She yelped at that, but stayed still.

"Are you ok? Nothing that would hurt you on our way?"

"Way to where?"

"To hospital, of course." She looked rather worried at that.

"Oh no, nonononono! Not to the hospital! I hate that place!"

"Rainbow Dash, please. Look at your leg."

"My.... What?" Crusaders looked rather confused at that as well.

"...At your hoof." I was already holding her in my hands. She looked down at her bad hoof and gasped.

"Oh sweet Celestia, that's terrible!"

"See? I told you. Now, onwards to hospital." I'm almost sure she wanted to tell me to fuck off, but after a few seconds of thinking she slowly nodded. After that, i slowly lifted her to hospital, crusaders behind me all the time.

When we entered, all nurses instantly looked at us. When they saw Rainbow Dash, all of them trotted quickly to me to take a look at her. Two of them nodded to themself and asked me to bring her to room 202. After a while i get to this room and put Rainbow Dash slowly on a bed. She looked at me with begging eyes, which i tried to ignore. I'm really bad at ingoring things like that, so that wasnt a surprise when i failed.

"What do you need Dashie?" She was silent for a moment before she said weakly.

"...Thank you. Can you stay here for a while?"

"Well, i think-"

"Of course we will!" Suddenly Scootaloo said, quickly apporaching Rainbow Dash's bed. Soon after that rest of crusaders joined her.

"*Sigh* Well, i gues i dont have a choice then." Rainbow Dash smiled, i could see crusaders happily nod to eachother.

"I'm really happy that everypony wants to stay with me, but i will need to... talk about something with Jack. Personaly." Crusaders smiles fades as they slowly left the room, looking back from time to time. When girls left, i looked back at Rainbow Dash, who looked rather worried.

"Listen Jack... I dont know how long i will need to stay here, so i have a question to you... Can you take care of Scootaloo meanwhile?" I was rather surprised at that. She's right though. Scootaloo parents are dead, and Rainbow Dash was taking care of her so far, and now that she's in a hospital, someone else need to take care of her, at least for a while. Though...

"Why me? I could ask Fluttershy to take care of her if you want."

"Jack, Fluttershy is at the Fillydelpha, remember?" Damn, she's right again.

"Well, then maybe Rarity?"

"Rarity need to take care of her own sister, and additionaly she have a lot of work."

"Applejack?"

"Busy."

"Twilight?"

"Taking care of Spike and you already."

"Pinke Pie?"

"...Jack, do you even think what you're saying?" I groaned in annoyance.

"But why me?"

"Why not you?"

"Because..." I sighed deeply at that point. "...Because she reminds me of my daughter." Rainbow Dash gaze softened at that.

"Ouh... I see... But please Jack, just untill i'll recover! Can you do this?" I clenched my teeth in anger. I wanted to forget about my old life, and that surely wont be a step forward to that.

"Well... Let's see first how long you will stay here." She nodded slowly her head. I walked outside of room and almost tripped over Scootaloo who was right in front of the door.

"So? Can we come in?" Scootaloo quickly asked. I sighed and nodded. They happily came back in as i  tried to look for a doctor that was supoused to come.

I was walking around corridors untill i bumped into a familiar looking stalion. He looked quite confused at what happend, but he quickly recovered. I'm sure he wanted to yell at me, but when he turned around and noticed me, a smile appeared at his face.

"Ah, mister Jack! Something happend?"

"Oh, good morning doctor Husgrad. I'm looking for someone who's supoused to take care of a new patient, Rainbow Dash."

"Oh, i do believe it's me. I was just on my way to her, so i gues we can walk together." I nodded and off we went.

"What do you think doctor? How long she will stay here?"

"Well, i cant say anything now, first i need to take a look at her." A moment later we went into Rainbow Dash room. When she saw us come in, her ears perked up. Doctor Husgard quickly approached her and took a look at her hoof.

"Well, miss Dash, from what i see you had a really bad time." He let out a light chuckle before his face hardened. "I can see a closed fracture, internal bleeding and high blood pressure. I'll need to take care of that internal bleeding at first place, high blood pressure will be easy to take care off. It seems you will need to stay here for at least a month." Everyone's gazes were locked on him, jaws on the floor... Mine as well. He could state all this just by looking at the wound?

"I see..." I looked at Rainbow Dash who was looking at me with puppy eyes. I dont know if she told Scootaloo about i was supoused to take care of her, but she was looking at me with puppy eyes as well. I cant believe i'm actualy doing it.

"Alright Rainbow Dash, i will do it." If not the fact she have a broken leg, she would shot off her bed and crush me in a hug.

"Thank you Big J!"

"No problem Dashie." She slightly blushed, but tried to hide that. Doctor watched us in interest, but yet again his face hardened.

"Alright, i do believe i need to get miss Dash to the surgery room. It will take a while, so i gues you can come back tommorow, mister Jack. I will find a way to contact with you if something will go wrong." I nodded and left the room, walking towards the exit of the hospital, crusaders following me all the time, looking rather sad. When we left, Applebloom poked me in leg.

"What do you need?"

"Well... Ah dont want to be a stuntman anymore..." Other two girls nodded in agreement.

"Well, that's very good. Anyway, i'll be heading home now, cya girls later."

I was about to go when i remembered that i'm supoused to take care of Scootaloo, which means i'll need to take her with me. I turned around and saw that Applebloom and Sweetie Belle left already, and only Scootaloo was standing in front of a hospital and looking at the front door, a look of uncertainty on her face. I slowly approached her and put my hand on her head, which made her to flinch. Well, Rainbow Dash didnt really told me to keep it as secret, so i gues the easiest way is to explain her what happends now.

"Well, Scootaloo... Rainbow Dash kinda asked me to take care of you while she is... unable to watch over you." She narrowed her eyes at that.

"What are you talking about Jack? I can take care of my own! I dont need somepony to 'take care of me', i dont need a babysitter!" Why do i have a feeling like i could expect it?

"Well, then where are you going to stay?" I think i catched her off guard with that question, since she looked at me with rather worried expression.

"Well... I... I'm... *sigh* ...I gues i can stay with you..." She looked away, trying to hide her blush. Oh god, it was cute as fuck! I nodded to her and went to the library, Scootaloo walking next to me, looking down. When we arrived, Twilight wasnt there. I looked around and saw Spike lying at the sofa and reading.

"Hey Spike, where's Twilight?" When he heard me he quickly perked up, looking rather worried.

"You didnt heard? Rainbow Dash got hurt herself really badly! Twilight and rest went to check on her. Where have you been?"

"I bringed Rainbow Dash to hospital."

"Ouh..." He looked rather ashamed at that.

"Anyway... Scootaloo will live here for a while, and i'll need to talk with Twilight about that." Spike's gaze locked on Scootaloo now. I think he knows all that stuff about Scootaloo parents death, since he slowly nodded after a while and get back to his book. I shruged and went upstairs, Scootaloo following me all the time in silence. Room next to mine is free since Shinning Armor isnt living here anymore, so i went there. There was a single bed and some kinds of closets. I let Scootaloo walk in as well.

"Well, how do you like it?"

"It's... Fine." She looked around for a second before her gaze turned back to me. "Jack... How do you feel about me?" I blinked in surprise.

"...W-what do you mean?"

"Everypony pity me for the fact my parents are dead...Only Applebloom and Sweetie Belle are trying to forget about this... I just want ponies to stop acting like i'm the poorest thing in whole Equestria!"

"Scootaloo, you lost your parents. It must be really hard for you, but i understand that you need a time for yourself, away from pity of other people."

"How can you understand that?" I clenched my teeth at that. She really said it, did she?

"How can i know it? My loving wife, my little dauther, my home... Everything died in front of my eyes. I've lost everything, which also includes a possibility to fix it. Right now i'm starting a new life, and i want to forget about everything that ever happend to me..." I could feel my eyes watering at that point. "...And you're not helping right now." Scootaloo was looking at me in disbelieve.

"But... You never said anything... Why you didnt talked with someone about it?"

"I did, and it only made it worse." Right now tears were flowing down my cheeks. "Or should i say, i was forced to. I dont want to talk about it, i just want to forget i ever lived on earth."

"So this is how you adopted yourself so quickly... I-i'm sorry Jack." We were sitting in a hug for about few more seconds before Twilight came in. When she saw us, she froze in place, her gaze locked at us.

"Jack... Why is... You... And Scootaloo... Why?" I slowly stood up from and looked at her with serious face, still having some tears at my cheeks.

"Twilight, Scootaloo will be living in library for a next month. I hope it wont be a problem." Scootaloo recovered as well at this point, as she joined me at my side. Twilight looked between us two before she sighed deeply.

"I do believe i understand why. Alright Scootaloo, you can stay here."

"Thank you Twilight!" Scootaloo yelled as she trotted to hug her. She was rather surprised at that, but after a moment she smiled.

"You're welcome... Though, i will need to talk with Jack about something... Jack, may you follow me?" Oh uh. I did something wrong and spanking is waiting for me. We walked out as Scootaloo stayed in her new room, walked down stairs and to the main hall, where Spike was already sleeping at the sofa. Twilight turned around and looked deep in my eyes.

"Jack, i think you and Scootaloo have a lot in common... Really a lot..."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know when her parents died?"

"I have no idea. Why do you ask?"

"Her parents died a few months ago."

"...I still dont know why do you tell me that." Twilight looked rather sad at this point.

"Jack... I made some researches about when exacly you arrived. From everything i know... You arrived in Equestria at the same moment when her parents died." I was really shocked at that.

"But... How did they died?"

"Heart attack. They both had a heart attack at the same time, and they both died. There was a suspicion that they were somehow poisoned, but nobody could find anything that would prove this argument. They just died, and nopony could understand why. Do you know now what i'm thinking about?" Realization was like something smashed my head with a sledgehammer.

"They died... Because of me?"

"Not quite, they died because of that teleport... To use a magic that breaks any laws of psychics, you need to make a sacrifice. More powerfull spell is, bigger sacrifice will it take. Most of times, unicorns are using their bodies as a sacrifice - In other way, making such spells only exhaust them. Creating a really powerfull spell that breaks a laws of psychics sometimes can even kill you, so only powerfull unicorns are taking risk of exercising such spells. The biggest power unicorn have, smaller sacrifice is needed... But to create a portal that is connecting two other universes with themself... Discord, who was at this time probably really weak wouldnt create a teleport just like that... So... I think he sacrificed Scootaloo parents..." I couldnt believe in what i hear. I could hear ringing in my head, everything was spinning around me. Discord, you dick! Destroying my life wasnt enough for you, was it? I fell on the sofa, which woke up Spike with a loud 'Yelp'.

"Jack, are you feeling alright?" Twilight asked as Spike looked at me, rather confused.

"...I'm... I'm fine..." I slowly stood up, everything around me getting back to normal.

"Dude, that was weird." Spike said as he slowly walked to kitchen.

"...I think it would be the best for you if you will get some sleep. It's getting late now." I looked at the clock. It's midnight. I do believe she's right.

"Alright then, good night Twilight."

"Good night Jack." With that i walked back to Scootaloo room. When i walked in, she was sitting on her bed, looking throu the window.

"Hey Scootaloo, if you need something before you go to sleep, you can ask now." She quickly looked at me, her ears perked up.

"Oh, Jack. I... I dont need anything..."

"Alright then, good night." I was about to leave when suddenly Scootaloo said.

"Wait!" I turned around and saw that she was trying to hide a small blush. "Can i... Can i call you 'daddy'?" She instantly looked away, her blush deepened.

"I... What?"

"Nevermind!" She yelled as she turned around quickly.

"...Yes." She looked back at me, disbelieve on her face.

"...What?"

"You can call me 'daddy'."

"...Thanks... Daddy." I smiled and walked away. I slowly entered my room and get on the bed.

This night i couldnt sleep. All the time i was trying to stop tears coming out of my eyes, but my every try was a failure.

I slowly walked out of my room, tired as hell. After that, i instantly went to the bathroom to take care of myself. After half an hour, i came downstairs to the kitchen. Twilight, Scootaloo and Spike were eating already breakfast, so i quietly joined them. Soon after i sat down, Twilight looked up at me.

"Oh, good morning Jack. Hungry?"

"Yeah, i do believe i am. I dont think you would have actualy a steak?"

"Steak? What is it?" Scootaloo asked, looking rather confused. I think Twilight knew actualy what is that, since she looked at me in terror.

"Now that i think of it, i never asked about what's in your diet... But you're not going to...?" I couldnt help but smile at that.

"Of course no Twilight, you must be kidding me." She sighed in relief, which made Scootaloo even more confused about what is happening.

"Well Jack, i'm sorry but you wont be able to find any kind of meat in Equestria. The only way to get it is to import it from Griffin kingdom... Though, i think you can always ask princess Celestia about it... But she really doesnt like an idea of meat in Equestria, so i dont know if that will work... You can always try." Scootaloo's ears perked up whenever Twilight said 'meat'. When Twilight was done, she slowly turned her gaze to me.

"You mean... You're eating... meat?"

"Yeah."

"Like... other living animals?"

"Yeah." She looked like she was about to throw up. "Anyway, i think i'll indeed need to try." Twilight nodded to me and got back to eating. I looked down at what i have. Pancakes. Again. Well, at least these arent made of flowers.

After breakfast, i went to the Sweet Apple Acres, like always to get my part of work done. Scootaloo went somewhere outside, probably to her friends. It was sunday, so she had a break from school. Soon after i was done with my work, i went to Rarity, to get my set of clothes, which i hope she made already. I slowly opened the door to the Carousel Boutique, which caused bell to quietly ring. Rarity was behind her desk, working on something which seemed to be my jacket. She didnt heard the bell, so she kept woring untill i approached her.

"Hello Rarity, i do believe it's going to be my jacket?" She quickly perked up, surprised at my sudden arrive.

"Oh, hello Jack. Yes, it will be. I just need few more things done and you will be able to take it. Why dont you wait here untill i'll get this done?"

"Well, sure." I sit at the chair somewhere in the corner of the room. It's been about five minutes before suddenly Sweetie Belle and Applebloom rushed in, looking really worried.

"Jack! Oh sweet Celestia, Jack!" They instantly trotted to me.

"Wow, calm down girls! What is happening?"

"It's Scootaloo! She walked in the Everfree forest!" Rarity gasped at that.

"What?! Why didnt you stoped her?!"

"We tried, but she didnt listened! We... had a little arguing, and it ended with her trying to prove she's brave enough to get into this forest and to come back after an hour... She went in before we realized what is she doing! You got to save her Jack!" Sweetie Belle cried. I instantly dashed out of Boutique and ran straight into Everfree forest, without even thinking about one thing - I'll probably get lost as well.

After twenty minutes or so i was sitting in the middle of the forest, with no idea what to do now. I'm the worst hero in the world. Not that i ever was a one. I stood up and began walking again. Nobody actualy knew, but i wrote a small list about what to not do in Everfree forest after my first travel in here. From this day i keep it with me all the time. I picked it up from my pocket and looked at it once again.

Survive in the Everfree Forest: What to do

1. Avoid any dark places.

1. Dont eat anything coming from this place.

2. Walk in direction where trees are getting smaller. You will find a zebra called Zecora living near.

4. Do not die.

I'm still working on that list, but i really didnt wanted to check anything on my own in this forest. I kept walking in one direction, watching every little thing around me and making sure that area around me isnt getting darker. After a while, i could hear heavy panting somewhere in front of me. I'm screwed. I tried to turn left, but suddenly everything get darker. Nope. I tried to turn right. Same. I looked behind me. Path was now somehow blocked by a bunch of trees and bushes. When did that happend I sighed and walked forward. There was a small clearing with some bushes around it. Are these a berries? Like, normal berries? At the middle of this clearing was sitting Scootaloo, looking rather exhausted. She was turned around, panting heavily. I slowly approached her from behind.

"...A little exhausted, are we?" She jumped at that, making me chuckle a little bit.

"Jack!? You scared me!"

"Yeah, i know. What are you doing here?"

"I want to show my stupid friends that i'm not a little kid!"

"Scootaloo, going into place like that isnt a way to prove anything. C'mon, let's get out of here."

"...That's the problem. We cant."

"Wait, what? What do you mean?"

"Look around..." I looked around the clearing. Nothing special, i would say. Some bushes, some... Wait... Now i see what she means. Bushes and trees at the edges blocked any way out. Same with the path i came from. I walked to the path where i came from and tried to move any of these bushes. Suddenly a spikes grew out of them, cutting my hands. Ow! That surely wont work. I slowly walked back at the middle of the clearing, not taking away my gaze from the bushes that cut me. She's right. We're trapped.

"...Scootaloo, you're a pegasus, right?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"Do you think you could fly to the village and tell ponies about where i am?"

"...No. I cant fly." I slowly turned my gaze to her.

"...You cant fly?"

"No, my wings are too small to carry me..." C'mon Jack, think!

"...Do you know how to get to Zecora from here?"

"Well, yeah, i think i do." I could feel a smirk forming on my face.

"...And how much do you weigh?" She looked rather worried.

"Not much..." She took a step back at this point. "...Jack, what are you planning?"

"Alright Scootaloo, i need you to promise me few things."

"...W-what things?" Another step back. I smiled and started to walk towards her.

"At first place, i want you to talk with Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, i'm sure they will want to apologize to you."

"...Alright."

"Second thing - You will tell someone that i'm here."

"...O-okay..."

"And the last thing." I slowly picked her up and held in front of my face. "Be safe." And with that, i threw her at one of the trees, at the branch. She held it in fear and looked at me in disbelieve.

"Are you kidding me?!" She yelled at me.

"Can you get on the ground?" She kept gazing at me for a few seconds before she slowly began to climb down. After few seconds she was already out of my sight. "Alright Scootaloo, i want you to find Zecora and bring her here. It's important that-" Suddenly everything began to get darker around me. Oh uh.

"Jack? Is everything alright?" I could hear Scootaloo say from somewhere behind bushes. So, this is my end?

"...Scootaloo?"

"Yeah?"

"...Get to the Ponyville. Do not turn back no matter what you will hear." I couldnt see edges of the clearing anymore at this point.

"Jack? What is happening?"

"Just, please... Do as i said, and... Be safe..." Darkness fully surrounded me at this point. I couldnt hear Scootaloo anymore, and i could see the same red eyes as before around me. This time, without any whispers or anything like that. They just appeared around me and seemed to froze in one place. After a moment, i could hear a really dark, muffled voice.

"Th̶o̧u̢ ̴įs th̢e c͢hoos͟e̴n͝ òn̛e. ̷Tho͟u sh̵al̡l ̀liv̷e ͜ęterna͝ly͠ w͟i͏t͟h̴ ͜u̷s̢.́." I didnt really had much time to say anything, instantly after that i fainted.

After some time i woke up back at the clearing, but this time it wasnt dark anymore and Scootaloo was next to me.

"Jack! Are you alright!? Say something!"

"I...i...W-what is happening?" She instantly hugged me.

"Oh thanks Celestia, you're alright!" Suddenly a new, unfamiliar to me voice spoke from somewhere behind me.

"I'm glad that your friend is alright, but i think you should stay in my home for tonight." I slowly stood up and saw a zebra standing at the edge of the clearing, at one of the opened now paths.

"If i have to gues, you're Zecora?" She nodded once.

"When Scootaloo showed up in my sight, i knew something was not right. The ghosts you have seen are called 'The shadows of Evelin'. Their arrival brings most of times doom, but you're actualy fine, i assume."

"Yeah... I think so..." She nodded once and walked somewhere into forest, me and Scootaloo quickly followed her.

This night i spend in Zecora's house. I dont really like the idea of staying in this forest any longer, but staying with someone who knows this place... and rhymes in every sentence makes it somewhat more acceptable. After that, i went with Scootaloo back to the Ponyville. When we were leaving already Everfree forest, Scootaloo poked me in leg.

"...Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"...Thank you... Daddy..." It felt like someone sqeezed my heart.

"...No problem... Daughter..." She suddenly blushed and turned her gaze away. I think i blushed a little bit as well, but i ignored that.

Finally back into Library, i heard that Rainbow Dash actualy get already fine and can now take care of Scootaloo. 'She have to stay in hospital for a month' My ass, doctor. Next time i will see you, i'll make you eat your coat. It was still rather early, so i went outside, to walk around like i always do. I have one hour before Applejack will get to work, so i sat on the bench on the park and relaxed for a bit. And then... I noticed this in the sky...

"Sister, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, i want to do this. This is for the best." I slowly entered my chariot, Luna getting in as well.

"Then i'm coming with you... I really dont trust Jack yet." I couldnt help but smile.

"I'm glad you're actualy learning modern language..." She blushed at that and turned her gaze away. "...But i'm sure Jack wont do anything with it that he would regret."

"But Tia... *Sigh* I gues you're right..." I looked back at the strange piece of metal i found lately in front of the castle. This thing... Is probably the most dangerous thing i've ever seen... And it came out of some kind of a strange portal that suddenly arrived in front of my castle... I dont understand mechanics in it, but when one of unicorns pulled this little lever... I still have a hole in one of the throne room walls, and it happend so quickly that nobody even saw that! I'm almost sure it's from Jack's world, but Luna really dont like the idea of giving such thing to him... I still wonder if i'm doing right...

"Are we ready to go?" Suddenly Luna asked, which caused me to flinch a little bit.

"...Yes, i do believe we can go now." Luna nodded to nightguards who carried our chariot into the air. It was late night, almost morning already, but dayguards were still asleep. At the middle of our flight me and my sister actualy had to take care of the sun and moon, so when we could see already Ponyville, it was officialy morning already. After a few seconds, something catched my eye.

"Another... Teleport?" Luna asked as she saw that as well.
