Author's Note

Before you say anything, I just want to let you know, I suck at writing accents, so don't expect me to be able to write Applejack accent, or her family flawlessly. Also a bit of a warning, I have no control over Pinkie Pie, so expect random moments here and there in these few chapters.

Oh and fifteen points for the one that got the reference of the combination!

Recently been edited some because I felt like it. Progress!

Chapter 12: Welcome to Ponyville, ignore the evil laughter.

Chapter 12: Welcome to Ponyville, ignore the evil laughter.

"Okay Uncle Grey, I can understand taking me out of the city, I can understand taking both Fleur and Janixe with me, but why am I also bringing Sweepy, and Endia?" ask Gabe as he, Fleur, Janixe, Sweepy, and Endia are at the train station. They each have a suitcase with them, as well as a train ticket as the only uncles before them is Grey and Zero. But for some reason Zero is holding Thorja as 'hostage' with his left arm.

Which Janixe finds hilarious as she smirk at her brother who is grumbling. "You see nephew we want to bring Endia with you as a precaution in case anyone has some...ideas of following you during our 'research', like you ask us to do." reply Grey, while Zero add a comment as he nod his head.

"And Sweepy is for emotional support, and to be use as a meat shield."

The dark purple mare, merely roll her green eyes. "Oh thanks, I sure love to be a meat shield for my employer, and it's not just because when the house burn down, I had no where else to go." she say sarcastically.

Janixe turn her head to the maid. "Why couldn't you just go to your family home around here in Canterlot?" she ask.

"Mother-in-law." tell Sweepy.

Fleur wince at this, and give her sympathies to Sweepy. "I think it would be best for you to go with us, less stress for a mare, no?" she say. While Fleur bring Sweepy in the train, Janixe take her attention from the maid, to the Elite Day Guard. "Let me guess, they 'persuaded' you to come along?" she ask, Endia shrug as she explain.

"Well more like Grey there march straight up, told Celestia that he and the others are going to find out the ones who burn his house down, told her to bring me along with you guys, and left before she could say anything. Or at least, from what I heard."

"She hit the nail on the head." add Grey as he nods his head from the explanation. Gabe sigh, but doesn't say anything, knowing that if he try to argue with his uncle about not ordering others around, then it will be pointless as his uncle will ignore that fact, and move on.

"So, why Ponyville?" he ask.

"Well for one, it's easy to find you in Ponyville," start Zero as he went on, while keeping a good hold on Thorja, who is glaring at them for not telling the madman to let him go. "Second it's a town where Discord usually hang around, so anyone isn't stupid enough to do anything disruptive while he's around."

"Wait Discord lives there?" Thorja ask, Grey sighs to this.

"Well he hang around there so it's close enough." reply Grey.

"And finally, there are ponies there we can trust to watch out for you while we do this job." finish Grey, he notice a ringing as he takes out a cellphone out, and answer it. "Grey here. Huh, hmm, I see." He move the phone away as he speaks to his nephew. "Hey kid, Dreamer say that most of the stuff you bought here are all burnt up, not to mention that the runes on the bottom of the house are also burn up as well." Zero huff air.

"Grey, not all of us are magical masters, mind dumbing it down for us?"

Grey sighs.

"It means someone wanted to do a good job burning your house down Boy, which means that they probably started with the runes, or destroy the runes to make the house being destroy faster. Either way, not many could destroy said runes unless they're good at it, know what the rune is, or possibly find out what the runes look like and just made a big blast to destroy them altogether." explain Grey as Gabe nod his head.

"What about the things that were brought?" he ask, Grey listen on the phone, nod his head, and end the call.

"Okay good news is that some of your stuff been saved, with the thanks of those enchantments we had on them, they were spare from the fire. But the bad news is that it's going to be a while for you or us to get them from the remains of your place." say Grey, Gabe sighs in defeat, Janixe place a wing around his waist as she gives him a wing hug. Gabe looks down with a small smile, his response is rubbing her head.

Grey cough as he interrupts the two. "Anyway you all are probably wondering why Zero got Thorja in the first place," Thorja glare at him as he replies.

"And what makes you say that?" Janixe roll her eyes, Endia chuckle at his response, and Grey ignore him. Gabe however, answer.

"Well the sounds of your grunts and forcing Zero to let go for one." Thorja turn his glare to Gabe, who looks away with a smile.

"The answer to that is I need a witness, for something very important, which I will tell you later on. Bye!" say Zero with a grin, as he, and a late thinking Thorja run away to somewhere else.

"So uncle," Gabe say as he ignore Zero leaving with a hostage. "How long till you guys are done?" Grey silently ponder as he thinks.

Hmm, well if things go well for us, maybe at least three weeks. Considering we also have to face them as well, however if things aren't going our way it could be about a month. And if I remember the dates correctly, Nightmare Night pass already, and snow is going to start setting. Not to mention that the Boy going need to stay somewhere around Ponyville for a good while, don't want him to be around Ms. I want to know everything about you guys, she might accidentally make him remember 'it', so he may need to stay somewhere else.

"If things go our way, perhaps three weeks, tops. But if we run into trouble, it may take about a month." reply Grey, Gabe groan as he slap over his eyes.

"Bloody perfect, where are we suppose to crash? The inns?" mutter Gabe, Janixe sigh as she flap her wings, and rest on Gabe.

"Quit being melodramatic, we'll find a way." she say, Grey nod his head.

"Yeah, listen to your mare, she got good advice." tell Grey.

"Not to mention cute." add Gabe with a smirk, she bop his nose as she replies.

"Only when I feel like it." Endia chuckle as she grab a suitcase and say to the others.

"Well, if you all excuse me, I need to find the others and settle down for the ride, later." the earth mare of the group turns toward the train to find a spot for the ride.

"But anyway, three things. One talk to a mare name Applejack, she'll lead you to a place where Zero 'acquire' a place where you all can stay for the time being. Two you would be able to access your account in the bank there, so don't worry about money, and finally when you get out of the train, duck." tell Grey.

Gabe squint his eyes at him. "What did you do?" he ask, Grey shake his head to his nephew question. "Not I, Zero. As for what he did, you'll find out." he reply as he turn around, and walk away. "Later Boy, might see you some other time."

However Gabe stop him with a raise hand. "Hold it, ear enchantments, now." Gabe order, Grey stop and turn.

"What are you, oh I see." say Grey in slight confusion, before figuring out what Gabe means. His right hand went up as blue glow move around Gabe ears. "There, you should be good now. Now if you excuse me I have to go." Grey say as he turn back, and move along.

"So should I expect trouble?" ask Janixe, Gabe look at his uncle walking away, but stop as he sighs, and nod his head.

"Probably, worst case scenario I'll get a bruise on the chest, and the pony might get arrested." say Gabe.

"By me." tell Janixe, Gabe grin as he look down to her.

"By you." agree Gabe, the two grab their suitcases, and enter inside the train. Leaving the city of Canterlot, and enjoying time off in the small town of Ponyville.

***

"So Sweepy, what happen last night?" Gabe ask as he lean back in his seat, Janixe rest her chin on his lap as he gently pet her mane. Fleur merely read a magazine as she lean on Gabe right shoulder as she flips a page with her horn, Endia sit in the opposite of Janixe as she relax. Sweepy look at Gabe with a surprise look, but change her expression to a neutral look.

"Well, something came up with my relatives, and it's a bit personal to say." she replies.

Gabe nod his head in understanding, he close his eyes and sighs. "Alright, you won't hear me ask again." A few minutes of silence pass, Gabe soon became curious of their destination, so he decides to speak to the mares around him to see if they been, or at least, know Ponyville.

"So has anyone been to Ponyville before?" he ask.

Endia answer his question with a open eye. "It's a Earth community, there some pegasi and unicorns, but it was founded by the Apple Clan, or the Apple Family as they usually call. There not many other species there so it doesn't have that many different races at all there, so probably expect either fright, or amazement when you walk around. It's a close-knit village, so expect everypony to know each other, the Elements, or what they use to be called, lived there. Add to the fact that a Princess live there, so expect some Guards there." explain the Elite.

Janixe add into the conversation with her eyes close. "She got it in one, also expect random disaster, or strange occurrence there, most ponies tend to nickname it the 'town of Impossibilities'. We should be on guard in case something may pop up, or in other cases, ponies try to hurt my stallion, or rut him." she say, Gabe look down in surprise.

"You serious?" he ask in disbelief, Sweepy look surprise of this new information as well, Endia raise an eyebrow from this new information, and Fleur place her magazine down as she speaks to Gabe.

"I'm afraid she is dear, while normally cities like Manehatten, or even Stalliongrad have stallions and males from other counties to evenly match the ratio of mares. Towns tend to be either mare with mare, or a stallion or two, with at least four or five mares. Ponyville doesn't have that luck." Fleur say as she sighs.

Enida nods her head. "While Ponyville may have a Princess, and the former Elements to help combat the impossibilities that happen there, they sometime cause the problems in the first place." add Endia.

"Not to mention that due to it's rep of being a place of impossibilities, not many ponies, even stallions, want to move there. Ponies do visit, but they never stay in case they manage to escape the 'taint of strangeness'. And because of that the ratio of herds is a stallion or two with six or eight mares. Essentially it's either get the stallion and hold onto them as much as you can, or be lonely for as long as your sanity hold out." tell Janixe.

"So the reason I might get possibly rape, is the fact that Ponyville itself is strange, it's a tight-knit community, and lots of competition to get a stallion?" Gabe say in astonishment. All three of their heads nod at once, Sweepy however take this information in her mind, and think of reporting later to her Queen.

"Well that's just bloody perfect, is there a pro with all of this information?" Gabe ask.

"Yeah, you have us watching your back," reply Enida. "Not to mention I won't let any mare try to your virginity away, if anypony have dibs, it's me." add Janixe, the maid and guard look in surprise, while Fleur merely went back to her magazine.

"Wait, your a virgin?" they ask in sync, they look at each with that surprise look as Gabe laugh.

"Yeah I know it's strange, but yes I'm a virgin, not a total innocent virgin, but a virgin nevertheless." tell Gabe.

There is a moment of silence in the room, until Endia finally decide to gain her voice, and speak to Janixe. "And you haven't taken this golden chance that is literally next to you why?" Janixe let her left eye look at the Day Guard.

"Well there's a good reason for it, and Fleur you may want to hear this as well." say Janixe as Fleur place her magazine down.

"You see when we first started to date, we set up an arrangement of rules, one of them is that I, and this goes to you as well Fleur, is we don't take his virginity, until the bells start ringing. And before you all ask me why, it's a cultural, and religious thing for Gabe here, what he believes is that his 'innocence' will be taken by someone he loves, and loves him in return. Yes we both like each other, but what you all have to understand is that for our human here, it's a big commitment and a show of trust.

"If you think about it, it kinda make sense, I mean if the first pony you dated and thought they were the 'one', would actually dump you for a one night stand, would you still thought it was the greatest night ever, or something you wish you could take back?" Janixe ask, the three mares look at each other, and slowly nod their heads.

"I'll admit, it does sound strange, but I can understand, and hopefully I'll be there for the wedding bells as well." say Fleur.

"And it is a good excuse to say to ponies if they question about it, just say it's a alien thing, and you're good Janixe." add Endia, Sweepy however stay silent as she ponder on this new information.

So he's a virgin that want to have, the one mare who loves him, and he loves in return. The disguise changeling looks at Gabe and the Thestral before her, and can literally taste the grown love between them, she turn her sight to Fleur as the unicorn has small vibe of love, and longing coming from her. Even though she 'read' her magazine, Sweepy notice her eye glance at Gabe, and him rubbing Janixe head.

Possibly because she wants in with the scratching from the target. think the 'unicorn' as she clear her throat, and speaks to Fleur. "Hey Fleur, why don't you ask Gabe to give you a scratching as well? Since you all are dating, it shouldn't be reasonable to have some of them fingers too." say Sweepy.

Janixe look up to the unicorn in question, and grin while Gabe merely arch an eyebrow. Fleur herself stammer. "I-I have no idea what you're talking about Sweepy! I was just enjoying my magazine, and," Janixe interrupt the mare as she raise her head up.

"Go on, I know you want to have first feeling of him scratching your mane, maybe even behind your ears. I need to grab something anyway, be back later." say the Thestral as she hops off of Gabe and went out of the room.

"B-But Janixe!" say Fleur, Gabe merely grab Fleur, gently lowering her down as he place her head on his lap, and shudder as she can feel his fingers scratching deep in her mane.

"Come on now, you know that if you ask, I would of given you a scratching." comment Gabe as he massage her head, the unicorn sigh in pleasure as she relax on her boyfriend lap, and enjoy the feeling of his hands. "So how come you didn't ask?" Gabe say as he starts a conversation, not to mention he is a little curious.

"Well, I know we're all in a relationship, but I remember from all the times of teaching you that, gasp!" her explanation is interrupt by Gabe gently touching her right ear, and squeezing it. "Gabe, I'm trying to explain why it felt awkward for me to ask you to scratch me! I used to be your teacher for Celestia sake!" whine Fleur as Gabe stop teasing her ear, give a little chuckle, and bend down as he whisper in the ear he tease earlier. Not quiet enough for the other two can hear, but enough to not speak in his usual tone.

"It's okay Fleur, you're just trying to over come your old habits of not dating a human. But it's okay, I'll help you get new habits." he say as he bring as much sultry in the last two words, the two on the other side in the room drop their jaws as they hear him.

"Holy Celestia." mutter Endia, while Sweepy try to reel in her disguise as she think to herself. Okay, there seem, to be more to the target than I originally thought. By the Hive, I wonder if this was a added reason on why the Queen wants him so badly.

Fleur herself blush as red show on her cheeks, she honestly can't believe Gabe made her blush like this, she knows it's been a long time since she starting dating but damn! Am I so rusty that a few words, and a tone can make me blush like this? If so then I have much work to do. think the Prench mare, thankfully for the three mares, Janixe enter in with two flowers of Fleur color being hold by her wings.

"Sorry it took me a while, had to make sure that our flowers weren't crush during the moving in our...suitcases." say Janixe as she notices the open mouths of Sweepy and Endia, while on the other side Gabe smirking at them with Fleur blushing heavily on his lap. She facehoof, and sighs. "I just miss something, did I?" she ask, and Gabe answer with a chuckle.

"Oh yes, yes you did. But don't worry, you might see it in action when all three of us are together in a room."

Janixe look at Fleur with a bigger blush, and smirk as well. "Well, who knew that our human would so be readily to get in action with his former teacher? Guess I have to up my ante, eh Fleur?" suggest Janixe as the mare raise her head, and look away.

"You two are terrible." the prench mare say, the two laughing a bit at Fleur discomfort.

"We may be, but there might be a hidden surprise in us, in bed." tease Gabe. Endia laugh as she can't help but imagine it.

"Okay now I know why you all like to hang out with him! Because he's so good at being a terrible tease!" the earth mare say as the two nod their head.

"Yup, and that's just us teasing." say Janixe as she takes her spot once more, and let Gabe pet her again as she sighs in bliss.

"This is the life." she mutter to herself.

"Applejack! How long till they come here? I'm so excited to see them already!" squee a familiar pink mare as she jumps up and down as she, Applejack, and Rarity are waiting at the train station to see this 'human' that they heard through the papers. Not to mention a 'nephew' to the group of beings that cause headache to Twilight, or cause ponies to scream in fear whenever they come around. Rarity horn glow light blue as she grab Pinkie, and sets her down on the ground.

"Now darling, you must remember that they'll come when the train is here." tell the fashionist, she turn to the apple farmer and speaks. "Honestly darling, did you know they even have a nephew?" she ask Applejack, the cowpony merely shakes her head.

"Nope, this came to a surprise to me as it did to you Rarity," Applejack look around to see no appearance of Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Fluttershy. "speaking of which, where are the rest of the girls?" Applejack ask.

Pinkie throw up a hoof. "Oh me! Pick me! Me! Me! Me!" Rarity sighs.

"Yes Pinkie, do you know where they are?" she ask to the pink mare.

"Fluttershy is in her home taking care of her newest animal, a mongoose I believe, Rainbow is up in the clouds, I think she thinks that Dreamer was lying about them having a nephew. So she probably think it's just Zero, but there's no way that they'll lie about having family, after all we all know in the news that he's been in Canterlot for quite a while now, so it is their nephew." explain Pinkie.

"Um Pinkie, mind explaining why Rainbow is in the clouds again?" interrupt Applejack.

"Oh! Well she's getting ready to dive bomb as soon he walks out of the train," this alarm both the mares as Pinkie went on. "and I don't know where Twilight is, all I do know is that she hasn't been around since this morning!" finish Pinkie.

"Oh dear, I hope Rainbow Dash isn't going to be rash," say Rarity, Applejack snort out her nose.

"Rash? Rarity, she always going to be rash, otherwise it wouldn't be Rainbow." tell the Earth pony mare.

Rarity nod her head to that. "True, still I hope Twilight won't overwhelm the dear when she meets him, after all his house did burn."

Applejack nod her head. "Still I can't believe anypony would do it, it ain't right. It doesn't matter if he's not a pony, but to burn a house? It's mess up in the head."

"Darling, if what I heard is true, then he hasn't made much friends in Canterlot, he always spoke what he thought and didn't care who heard him. I bet many nobles there always grit their teeth to get back at him in someway, whether to insult his face, or use hire goons, they would of gotten back at him. Honestly I'm surprise somepony would do such a thing without realizing the consequences." say Rarity.

"Those ponies are big meanies! Who do they think they are hurting poor Gabriel like that! It makes me want to use my bad cupcakes and shove it down their throats!" declare Pinkie.

Rarity look alarm by that. "Now darling I'm sure that there is no need to do such a thing! After all I'm sure things are being taken care of right now." assure Rarity, and while those two talk, Applejack muse earlier today, with three uncles.

flashback

"Attention ponies! Come on, quiet it down!" yell Dreamer as he stand before an podium as he look at the whole townspony before him, as he, Bob, and Doll are right in front of Town Hall. The ponies themselves are talking to one another as they are confuse, all they know is that a Town Hall meeting come up out of the blue, and they all gather. Right now some of them are waiting for either Twilight, or Miss Mayor to come up to the podium.

Dreamer look to see some ponies looking at him, however most are ignoring him as they are talking among themselves. He sighs as he turn to Bob. "Will you?" The dark being nod his head as he takes out his hand gun, it transform into a dark purple thing by his touch, he raise his hand up, and fire a shot. This grab all their attention as he turn to Dreamer and nod his head. "Thanks." Dreamer say, Bob merely went back drinking his coffee.

"Now you're all probably wondering why you're all here, well Twilight and Miss Mayor didn't set this up, we did." the crowd murmur among themselves. "You see, something happen, and it'll take too long to explain, so in short, our nephew is coming here." this cause a bigger talk among the ponies.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You guys have a nephew?" shout Rainbow Dash as she is before the three. A befuddle look on her face is showing straight to Dreamer annoyance face. He nod his head.

"Yes, we have a nephew, we also are telling you lot that he will come very soon, and that we expect you all to give him a decent greeting. He is also bringing him company, so don't worry about watching out for him Rainbow." tell Dreamer.

"I don't believe you guys! There is no way you all have a nephew!" call out Rainbow, Dreamer sighs as he shakes his head.

"Honestly I can care less of your disbelief or your distrust. All I wanted to tell you all is that you better be good to him, and his company. Well bye!" he say cheerfully as they left, a minute later a pony speak.

"Why are we here?"

flashback end

****

"Oh look girls! Here's the train!" call out Pinkie Pie as Applejack mind is back to the present, instead of the past. And the train move by the station as it stops, the doors open as many ponies come out of them. Thankfully Pinkie spot the group as they exit out. "Oh look! There they are!" Both Rarity and Applejack turn their heads to see them.

The first to come out is a mare, to be honest the girls are surprise that this one is part of the Guard, considering most of the Guard they met are stallions. However unlike the Guards they already know, her has two strips on her shoulders, her coat is dark brown with a light brown tail moving with a suitcase holding it. Dark green eyes looking around the area as the mare finally notice the three mares looking at her. She turn her head and call out. "Hey, we have some of the Harmonies greeting us!"

A familiar voice reply to the earth pony mare. "Oh my! This is a surprise!" It can't be! Rarity thinks as she is proven right as a mare of white, two form of pink mane and tail, and with light violet eyes looking around to notice Rarity went out of the door. "Oh it is! Hello Rarity, I thought you be out here to greet us all!" call out the mare name Fleur.

Applejack whisper to Rarity. "You know her?" She nod her head to the farmer.

"Yes, I met her in Canterlot a few years ago, remember that fancy party with Fancypants?" Applejack nods her head.

The mare carry out her luggage with her horn glowing as she trot up to Rarity. "How are you this fine day?" ask the Prench mare.

"Why I'm doing quite fine Fleur, honestly I wasn't expecting you to be here as well! If I known you would travel here, I would of prepare myself for you and Fancy arrival!" say the fashionist, however to her, and the other two surprise Fleur shakes her head.

"Sadly that isn't the case, for you see, this isn't a business call Rarity, in fact I'm here to give support to my stallion."

STALLION? rang in two of the Harmonies mind, while the other one thinks of Blueberry pie for some reason.

"Hey, you think they know where we can set our stuff down? Because I don't want to carry all of the suitcase as we move around town you know!" a mare voice tell them, Applejack turn to see a unicorn carrying two suitcases with her horn, her coat is of dark purple, forest green mane, and dark green eyes fill with impatience as the unicorn is wearing a maid outfit for some reason.

Before any of them can ask, Pinkie speaks. "Oh don't worry, that's just a maid that is in employment of the nephew!" however before they can even ask Pinkie how she know that, another mare comes out, this time it's a Thestral. However unlike the golden armor mare, this one doesn't have armor covering her, there isn't any helmet covering her dark blue mane, nothing covering her light gray coat, and certainly nothing covering her none-existing cutie mark. Her dark blue eyes scan the area to see if there are any hostiles in sight, however something caught Applejack eyes as she see a white flower in the Thestral mane, next to her left ear.

The mare turn her head and call out. "Hey Gabe, nopony is getting ready to knock you down!" Applejack arch an eyebrow. Gabe? Never heard a name like that, unless...they do have a nephew. And the nephew does appear, his size is that of a foot smaller than Dreamer. His head is cover with black hair, it stretches down to chin, yet the front part is down to his eyebrows, his chin and upper lip are cover in a patch of black hair as he move the mustache with his tan skin fingers.

But behind his copper glasses are brown eyes, eyes full caution as they scan the area around the user. While Applejack look at the person, Rarity is looking at his outfit, a gray hoody with a zipper is covering his upper body, a pair of 'jeans' cover his legs, and with a pair of strange shoes cover his feet she seem that his outfit is average for someone of middle-class. However she also notice the same type of flower that is on the Thestral, is also on his hoody as well.

Pinkie however, only think of one thing when she see him. I get to finally meet him! I get to finally have a party with him! YAY! And it only took a few chapters! I wonder if Zero showed him the fourth wall yet? Nah, Gabe wouldn't able to take it.

Sadly the moment the train left, a certain blue pony notice the human, and dive bomb him. "ZERO!" Rainbow call out in a war-cry as Gabe does the third thing his uncle warn him earlier. Duck. It is too late for Rainbow as her target in sight, has move down. So when the pegasus hind leg miss the back of the target, she hit only one thing, the wood of the station. Gabe raise himself up as he look at his fail attacker on the ground.

"Huh, so you're the one that Zero piss off." he say as he look at the groaning Rainbow, he turn to the other three mares. "So did my uncle manage to piss off you all as well, or are you here to finally see the 'Doombringer of Ponykind?' Because if you are, then I hope you weren't expecting much out of me." he say in a teasing tone, and with a smile.

A minute later Pinkie speaks. "Wow, you really aren't what they all expected!"

***

"So seeing that you have the rainbow one under control, we can get started with the introductions?" ask Gabe as his group, and the three mares who sit across from him with one mare tie up. The group is currently sitting outside a cafe as apologizes and misunderstandings are clear up earlier at the station.

"Of course darling, and again I must apologize for Dash behavior earlier, we all thought it was some prank your uncles made when they say they had a nephew." explain Rarity, Gabe shrug.

"It's okay, not many would actually believe them, considering they are really good at keeping secrets." reply Gabe.

"Of course dear, now allow us to introduce ourselves, I'm Rarity, by my left is Applejack, to my right is Pinkie, and the one tied up is Rainbow Dash." say the mare as she introduce themselves. Fleur decides to speak for the group, seeing that Gabe is currently occupy with a sudden Janixe on his shoulder, demanding a ear scratch. He shrug with a smile on his face saying 'Sorry, but my attention is being demand'. Sweepy roll her eyes to this, but a faint smile can be seen on her muzzle.

Endia chuckle for the two, Rarity smiles of the romance, Applejack is neutral, Pinkie is being Pinkie as she gives a large smile, and Rainbow Dash is groaning of the 'lame interactions'. Janixe however, doesn't give a damn as her ear is being scratch. Fleur clears her throat as she speaks. "You all already know who I am," the two sensible mares nod their heads, as the tie up one is rolling her eyes, and the other is shaking her head fast.

"Beside me is my stallion, or boyfriend in his case, Gabe, and our dating partner who is currently getting a ear scratch is Janixe. By me is Elite Day Guard Endia, who is our boyfriend bodyguard, and the mare in a maid suit is Gabe maid Sweepy, who is here for moral support." introduce Fleur.

"And being use as a meat shield." the maid add in a sarcastic tone.

While the residents of Ponyville raise an eyebrow in confusion, the group chuckle of what they remember earlier. "Anyway, how do you mares know my uncles, and what did Zero do to piss off the hostage over there?" ask Gabe. Before Rarity and Applejack can say a word, Pinkie Pie speaks in her usual way.

"You see nephew of those meddlers, a few of them pop by around Ponyville a long time ago, and gather information! Zero met up with Applejack, Dreamer to Rarity, and Bob just hang around here sometimes! In fact they became the normal around here, although why they spend time here instead of meddling I have no idea. Which reminds me, Zero made me Pinkie promise to not do my usual 'thing', I don't know why, but he was persistence about it!

"Not to mention that they borrowed books from Twilight library in her castle, usually without her knowing about it. I remember when she couldn't find her 'Magical Myths volume 6', and she freaked out that she couldn't find it at all! Until I told her Zero took it without asking her, and she got all mad about it, and I ask why. Then she told me he stole it from her, and then I said 'Silly Twi! He's a thief! He's always going to steal stuff!'

"Then she got mad for a while, then went on fire, and left. Oh I should probably mention that the reason that Dashie didn't believe that you were real, is because Zero stole her apple cider, and is that Spike running up to us?" finish Pinkie as the entire group turn their heads to see the small dragon of purple and green running up to them.

"Guys! Guys! You need to read this!" call out the dragon as he finally approach them, with a scroll in his talon. Rarity grab the scroll with her horn, opens it up, and read out loud.

Dear Spike and to my dear friends,

If you are reading this, then that means I have already left, you see everypony trying to be a Princess is hard, so I decide to take a vacation up to the Crystal Empire. I know this may seem sudden, but I have been planning this for a while, without Spike knowing, because this is something I want to do by myself. Spike if you're reading this, then know that you'll have the castle to yourself while I'm gone. You can also have that crystal I stash from you behind the safe, the combination is 23-15-20-11.

Now for how long I'll be gone, I'll be away for a few weeks, maybe a month. And if you're wondering why I didn't magic my way, I decided to take the scenic route by train, and maybe visit the towns and cities along the way.

Girls, don't worry about me, I'll be fine.

But on another note, please tell Zero to shove that mouth of his where the the Princess sun don't shine. And please don't tell me anything about his 'nephew' of his, considering I don't care about any detail, or information about him whatsoever. Because I don't care.

From Twilight.

The mares look at one another in surprise, while the other group just have a confuse look on them. "Girls, did Twilight say anything about a vacation?" ask Rarity, both Applejack and Rainbow Dash shakes their heads.

"I didn't get a Pinkie sense about it either." add Pinkie, however Spike look worry. "But I don't understand! She never does this at all, like never! She doesn't just go and leave like that. She would of made a list of her things, then made check list of said list of things, than double check it just to be safe!" the dragon say, Gabe just sigh as he speaks.

"Because she didn't. Uncle Zero made that letter, knocked her out, shoved her in a box where she'll survive the long trip to this Crystal Empire, and by the time she wakes up, maybe a week will pass, if she's luck." tell Gabe, Janixe give a concern look as she knows that ponynapping a Princess doesn't look good for survival rate.

"And if not?" she ask. Gabe sighs. "If I had to guess they did something to make sure she is out of Ponyville? Probably a month."

The four mares of Ponyville, doesn't take it too well of Gabe response.

"WHAT!?!?" they all shout in sync.

"Zero ponynap Twi?" hiss Applejack, as she realize that shouting will draw attention, ponies do notice them shouting at once, but ignore them, and more especially the 'nephew' among the group.

"I can't believe such a thing." say Rarity.

"Oh when I get my hooves on him, he'll regret it!" vow Rainbow.

"I can't believe he didn't let me make a 'you just got ponynapped for a cause!' party, or even let me make cupcakes for Twilight!" add Pinkie.

The mares bicker among themselves while the other group talk among themselves in whispers. "So should we do anything?" ask Endia, Gabe shake his head.

"Naw, it's already too late. Beside even if you, or anypony try to tell the rulers about this, or anyone ruling the Crystal Empire, what could you do? We don't know when she was taken, or where she is now. Best just leave it." reply Gabe.

"I have to ask, why would they ponynap Princess Twilight? What reason would they take her away from her town?" Fleur ask, to this Gabe merely shrug.

"Your guess is as good as mine. I know it's Zero that did it, but I don't know the why of it."

"Which reminds me," say Janixe as she turn to Spike. "Hey, can you please hand me that scroll?" Spike look to the Thestral.

"Are you going to get Twilight back?" he ask hopefully, she turn her attention to Gabe, with a look saying 'you do this'. He sighs as he answer to the young drake.

"Well...It's complicated. Whoever Twilight is, will return, just not right now. I can't promise you that you'll get her back, but I can promise you that she will be unharmed and safe.

"Kidnapping and stealing things? It's something he do, harming others who aren't guilty? That isn't his style, and if she is heading to the place, then she will be there. I don't know how long, or when, but she'll be there." he assure him. As Gabe pat the drake shoulder, Applejack interject a question.

"Excuse me, but how do you know it was Zero? For all we know it could be somepony else."

Gabe roll his eyes. "First off," he say as he place a finger on the word combination. "There's a combination on here, none of the uncles would do this, so it's Zero, since he's a thief and all. Second his name on here, if it was one of the other uncles, their names would be on here. And finally, considering Zero hang around here, it's hard to not put two to two together. But honestly I have no idea why this friend of your's was taken away." he say.

"Honestly darling, we have no idea either. Perhaps we can just write this off as Zero being insane?" suggest Rarity, Gabe shrug and nod his head.

"That's what I do most of the time." he say, he turn his attention around town. "No offense, but I honestly thought that a mob of ponies would be forming when I came out of the train." Janixe jab him on the shoulder with her hoof.

"What, disappointed because no ponies are either screaming their heads off, or demanding that you leave?" tease the marefriend.

Rainbow Dash interrupt the two. "Hey! Don't be disrespecting Ponyville, you hear!"

Endia merely turn her gaze to the speedster with a neutral look. "When the zebra name Zecora came around in town, the entire place lock themselves in as their hooves shake in fear of what she could do, not to mention that you bought in the fact that she was a 'witch' base off of rumors, and shortsightedness. And I don't think I need to mention that you and your friends went off on a 'witch hunt' to take away your 'curse', which really was just poison joke.

"Not to mention that your town scream their heads off when bunnies came through town, and eat up the food. Or the fact that you all live near the Everfree Forest, so there's bound to be new things that will scare off anypony. Honestly my ward is a bit justified in his surprise." finish the guard.

The ponies look away from Endia explanation as they know that they can't argue with the facts. "Endia, how did you know all of that?" ask Fleur, the Elite Day mare shrug.

"I read up all the details that needed to be know before I met up with you guys, figure I should be prepare for anypony trying to give him trouble." she replies back.

Rarity turn her attention to Fleur. "Which reminds me Fleur, I had no idea you would be her in our little town, much less dating anypony right now." Fleur shrug.

"Well I was his teacher when we first met, and after knowing him I thought it would nice dating him. And before you say anything, please don't ask me for details, no offense dears, but I barely know any of you." she say to them. Applejack shrug.

"None taken, after all we barely know you, so it seems fair."

While Rarity is scowling for the lack of gossip, Pinkie is moving to help Spike and cheer up, meanwhile Rainbow merely groans as she is already bored. "Excuse me Applejack, but my uncle Grey told me something about a place that Zero got around here, mind showing us where it is? The sooner we get there, the quicker we can unpack all of our things." mention Gabe.

Applejack doesn't take this as Gabe being rude, and wanting to end the conversation. But more like wanting to step out of the spotlight of certain ponies before things go really bad, considering that some ponies are looking straight at Gabe, with a strange intent in their looks, she can't really blame him for leaving right now. However Murphy is being a dick today, as three familiar ponies enter the scene. The flower mares of exaggeration, or mostly are known by the folks of Ponyville, Rose, Lily, and Daisy.

"Oh Celestia no! There's another one!" cry out Rose.

"Everypony run away! There's a new monster!" scream Daisy.

"Run for your lives! Or else it's going to devour us all, and use our bones as weapons!" Lily shouts out, as a few ponies scream their heads off, others faint, and some are actually stalking with a predatory, and lustful look aim right at Gabe. While Gabe is a bit worry as these mares are slowly coming straight to him, he is relieve as his marefriends form a wall of possessiveness as they hug both sides of him, and snarl at any mare that is too close.

"Back off you two-bits sluts! He's with us!" Fleur snarl as her horn glow in a intimidate manner. Janixe on the other hoof, screech as her wings are up, showing that she means business. "This stallion is ours! You hear me? Ours! Go or I'll bust a hoof in your face!" While some take the message and leave, some just look at the two mares with that same look, and Gabe take offense to that.

"Hey! I'm the only one that's allow to tap these plots!" say Gabe as he grab his marefriends back, however they look back at him.

"Seriously Gabe?" ask Janixe.

"Oh so when you two declare me as yours it's okay, but when I do the same thing, then it's a problem huh?" reply Gabe in a indignation manner.

Fleur nod her head. "You have to admit dear, Gabe does have a point." she adds in the conversation.

Janixe roll her eyes as she relent to the other mare an human. "Fine, fine, Whenever we're facing horny homosexual mares you can declare us yours. However when we're up against horny homosexual stallions, you better hope you can run fast, cause we're going to watch the show." the Thestral say to her boyfriend.

"Oh really? Keep that attitude up, and I might decide to give Frenchie here more attention tonight than you Jan." Gabe tell her in a teasing manner, the mares already left thanks to the glaring look of Applejack, however Rarity listen in closely to the three conversation, Pinkie Pie left to do whatever Pinkie does, and Rainbow is unleash as she orders a drink of water.

Fleur merely blush of Gabe comment as Janixe glares straight at him. "You wouldn't." she growls, Gabe merely smirk as he takes this chance to contact his lips to her, let his tongue enter into her mouth as he french kiss her, Janixe on the other hand, has grown a blush and a slight growth of wings from this kiss.

Rarity give a little noise of enjoyment as she see the sight of romance, Applejack sighs, and Rainbow Dash left. the pegasi mutter about 'Getting away from this mushy stuff' as she left the group. Sweepy roll her eyes as she looks away, but inward she is sighing in delight as she passivly absorb the love from the small herd, Endia merely look around to make sure no mare, or stallion is using this chance to move closer to the group, in hope that they manage to have a conversation. A minute later, Gabe remove his mouth from Janixe as a small line of saliva is connecting to their lips, Gabe gives a grin as he looks over his marefriend reaction from his kiss. "You are so adorable right now, a kiss manage to make you blush, and make your wings rise a bit. I'm getting better at this." say Gabe in a teasing, and loving manner.

She looks away as she blush even more. "S-Shut up." reply the Thestral, however she moves a bit closer to her stallion as she press her head to his chest, Fleur give a small whine as the moment brings her in, and ignoring everything around her. Even ignoring the fact that despite being his former teacher, and just starting to be one of his marefriend, she wants attention as well.

"Gabe, what about me?" she ask as she brings her muzzle to his face. "I want a kiss too." she pleads as Gabe turn his attention to the Thestral, toward the unicorn.

"Oh alright, since you beg for one." say Gabe in a joking manner as he french kiss her as well, Rarity squee more as Applejack and Endia facehoof, Sweepy groans.

"Can't you three just hold the urge to have sex until you get into a room? Honestly I feel like I'm in the midst of horny teenagers." tell the maid.

Janixe push away from Gabe real quick to glare at the maid, and speak toward her. "You're trying to ruin a moment here, so I suggest you shut up now." Sweepy roll her eyes from Janixe commandment, as the bat pony went back nuzzling her only human, Sweepy turn her attention to the gaga Rarity, and the facehoof Applejack.

Sweepy clear her throat as she speaks to Applejack. "So where's this place that madman took?" ask the unicorn as the three finally stop giving affections, and settle down.

"Just follow me." reply Applejack as she exit out of her seat, Endia point a hoof at Rarity, who is currently in her own little world.

"What about her?" she ask, the apple mare shrug.

"Leave her be, she'll get back to her usual self in no time." And so the group left the fashionest to her dreamland, and went off to the their goal.

Meanwhile in the train

There's a box that's in the cargo hold, and it's currently being examine by two boxmovers, both mares.

"Huh, what's this on it?" say a mare as she looks on the box with a note on it.

Do not remove until the box is transported in the Crystal Land.

Do not open until three weeks have pass.

To-Cadance and Shining armor

From-Twilight Sparkle

"A gift? But if it's to the rulers of the Crystal Empire, then why would there be so many stops for this thing?" ask a mare, the other shrug.

"Maybe it's part of some grand design from one princess to another?" suggest the other mare, however they both don't care as they have a job to do, and move the box out of the train and into Manehatten.

However what's in the box is Twilight Sparkle, rope up and wearing a mask that's connect to a oxygen tank with enough air to last her a month, she's knock out as a magic blocker is on her horn, and is dreaming dreams of finally having answers to the species of humans. Especially killing Zero, many, many, times.

Back in Ponyville

"Huh, you know I honestly thought that it would be, flashy. For once Uncle Zero found a good place." say Gabe as he inspect the house. It's a average double stories house, with a rooftop of wood, cottage like visual on the outside, and has a mat that say 'Be welcome if you're a guest, but if you're a solicitor, be prepare to earn a boot to the face'.

"Yup, he was really persistence with making this average and normal, I don't know why, but he gave me the key. He told me that 'if ever someone beside ever come to Ponyville with a few mares by him, give him the key'. It was odd back then, telling me this, but I understand why now." explain Applejack as she hoof him the key, Gabe nod his head as he went to the door, unlock it, and opens the door to see the inside of the house.

There's a stairway going up in front of them, to it's left is the entry way to the living room, and to the right is a hallway to the kitchen. However to the group right is door that's metal. Gabe turn to Applejack. "Thanks for the key, and thanks for showing us the place. Above all, sorry if my uncles given you trouble." say Gabe in a apologetic tone.

Applejack just wave her hoof. "It's alright, beside despite being a no-good thief, Zero is a decent fellow. take care y'all!" she say as she left, Sweepy went upstairs to unpack the suitcase, she is surprise of the three bedrooms, one of them is the master bedroom. That one is the target for sure. she thinks as she also checks the other two rooms.And these other two are for guests. she adds.

Endia merely check in the kitchen to see it fully furnish with a oven, dinning table, and a refrigerator with food already in, not to mention can food as well. "Damn, these guys came fully prepare." she mutters to herself.

Meanwhile Fleur looks over the pictures hanging on the walls, and honestly they all have no pictures in them, they're all picture frames with no pictures. I wonder why they even bother? I mean why buy pictures frames at all? the Prench mare thinks to herself.

Gabe and Janixe enter in the living room as the Thestral notice a envelop, grabs it, notices the name of her dating partner, and brings it over to him as he settles down in the couch. "Better want to read this." she say as he opens it and reads it.

Dear nephew,

If you're reading this, then that means you came into Ponyville, and Applejack lead you to our safehouse. Now this place is heavily protected, so if you see any runes, or notice anything odd, then that means you found one of the defense systems. Don't worry, we made sure that there'll be no harm to you or to any who you bring, unless they want to bring harm.

Anyway you must of notice the metal door? Here's a warning.

Don't. Enter. In it.

It's fill with many things, that will probably scar you minds, so just on the safe side, don't open it.

So a word of caution, if any ponies are giving you a look of anger or hate, then that means you can ignore them, because they're piss that you're here, or we did something to piss them off. However if any are giving you looks of lust...

Grab your mares, use them as shield, and run away like a coward. Some of these mares are loco that even I wouldn't dare to talk to. I'm serious! One time this one mare name Raindrops try to get into my pants! So make sure you have at least two mares or more to cover your ass kid.

Also if you heard anything about us and bone weapons...Blame Sohm. Not our fault he goes into the Everfree.

There's plenty of food, and everything is will be fine. And if you heard about Sparkles, don't worry, she'll be fine. But on the chance she comes back to Ponyville and sees you...

Just run.

To this place.

And don't come out till we come.

Take care, Zero.

P.S.-Sorry if you didn't got the chance to see the underworld law system, but don't worry, I got it recorded!

"Damn it! those are always fun." curse Gabe as he slap his forehead. Janixe merely look at him with shock.

"Wait, you mean the rumors are true? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm jealous of Thorja!" she say as the others over hear the conversation.

"What's this all about?" ask Fleur.

"Did I hear something about rumors?" ask Enida.

"What are you guys talking about?" ask Sweepy.

Gabe sighs. "Well it's like this," say the human as he begins his tale of the underground pits of two lawyers fighting to the death.

****

Meanwhile at the bakery

"Soon, soon it will be complete!" say Pinkie as she rubs her hooves together, she hears a ding, and turn to the oven as she opens it. "At last! Now they will all see! See my completion of my newest prank!" monologue Pinkie as she grabs some mittens and takes out the newly fresh cupcakes.

"The Zero formula! MWHAHAHAHA!" cry out Pinkie in a maniacal laugh.

"Oh! That reminds me! I should probably get started on that party!" add Pinkie as she hops away.
