Surprise Surprise

Surprise Surprise

There was a knock at the door. My mind froze. The first thing that came to mind was that the Alicorn from before had returned to take me away. Then the door opened. I never thought I would be relieved to see Chrysalis's face again.

"Oh, it seems you two are having fun. Tried to steal my husband while I was gone Luna? I guess I could expect this from a witch like you." Chrysalis said.

"Oh just because you haven't been able to get your hoofs on him doesn't mean that I'm stealing him from you." Luna replied to her.

Chrysalis walked up to her and stared her in the face. They were both waiting for one of them to do something. I stepped in just in time.

"How about this, why don't we all just get our baths and get to bed? Its been a long day and I bet your both tired." I said trying to diffuse this bomb before it got any closer to exploding.

The girls agreed and left to get their baths. I left to go and get mine. I hopped in the shower and quickly got a bath. I allowed all the pain of the day to be swept down the drain. As soon as I hopped out I grabbed some clothes and put them on. Didn't want any of the girls to catch me naked, there would be no telling what they would do, so I made sure the door was closed. After I had gotten my clothes on I switched the light off in my room and got into bed. The bed seemed cold and empty without somebody else in it. I wished Chrysalis wasn't here so me and Luna could have some time alone. I tried to go to sleep but found it impossible. I could not get that Alicorn out of my mind. Why did she say I was her husband and why did she keep calling me Aroc? These questions swirled around in my head and refused to let me sleep. Then I heard the door open. I shut my eyes to make it seem like I was asleep. I herd hoof steps walk up to the side of my bed.

"Alex? Baby are you awake?" I heard a sweet voice ask, it was Luna's.

"Yea, I am." I said.

I opened my eyes and nearly leaped out of my skin. Chrysalis was standing there. She had used her changeling abilities to copy Luna's voice.

"Good impression right?" she asked.

"Never, do that again." I said.

I was still laying in the bed, just sitting up and on the other side. Chrysalis crawled in and laid down next to me. I tried to back up but if I went any farther I would be in the floor. She laid on her back and looked up at me.

"Is it okay if I have a kiss, Alex?" she asked.

"No." I said simply.

"Oh come on! I've come all this way and Luna's already got to kiss you, don't I deserve at least one?" she asked.

She did have a good point. She did go through a lot to get this close to me and the least I could do was give her a little kiss.

"Fine. But just a quick one." I said.

I leaned in and kissed her. When I tried to pull back she followed me and we both fell in the floor. I banged my head into the hard wood flooring. I looked up and Chrysalis was on top of me(how does it always end up like this?). She was just looking at me.

"Alex, did you know that changelings feed of of the love of others, right?" she asked.

"I'm probably not going to like where this is going, will I?" I asked.

"I only want one thing right now." she asked.

"What?"

"Please, love me like you would Luna, if only for tonight." she said.

I was stunned. Did this mean she was giving up? Well, I had no idea, but if loving her for one night would get her to leave this honeymoon forever, then it was worth it. I sat up and kissed her. At first she was surprised, but then got used to it. I pushed her on her back and continued kissing her. I pulled back from her and looked into her deep green eyes. She looked back and knew that I wasn't enjoying this. She knew that I loved Luna and nobody else. She gave me a look that said she understood. I stood up and she stood up as well. She walked out of my room without a word. I moved back to my bed and got in. I was exhausted and ready to force myself to go to sleep if I had to. Good thing I did not have to. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light, even though that light kept getting turned on and off during the night. I was being plagued by nightmares of the unknown Alicorn taking me away and never letting me go. I would snap awake in a cold sweat. Then the dreams stopped. I finally got to sleep. Then what must have been five minuets later, I was being shaken awake by Luna.

"Wake up Alex! Hurry up! I have a big plan for us today. Were going to go to casinos, markets, museums, you name it, well will be seeing it!" she said.

"Let me guess. Chrysalis will be joining us in this little excursion into the city?" I asked.

"Actually, no. I drugged a drink and gave it to her. She will be asleep for a while, dreaming dreams that I dare not mention." she said.

She told me we should get going. I pulled on a black shirt and black pants and my signature white hoodie. I quickly ran to my bathroom and tamed my hair. It had gotten longer than normal so I cut it down to size with a convenient pair of scissors. When I was done I ran back and met Luna in the living room. She told me to follow her, that a carriage was waiting for us. We went back down to the lobby and walked out the front door, and sure enough, there was a carriage waiting for us. I felt a little uneasy based off of my previous experience with carriages, but got in it anyway. The carriage(pulled by two guards) drove off into the inner parts of the city. The first thing we went to visit was a museum of Equestria. They had things from all parts in the past. There were statues of all the great leaders of Equestria and a ruined statue of one of Equestria's first founder. I stared at it for a long time. Something about it was bugging me. It looked like the Alicorn that kidnapped me. I quickly pushed the thought from my head. I had no idea how old Celestia was but seemed like she had been around for a while. But this Alicorn must have been around for thousands of years, maybe more, she must have been dead by now. Luna was calling me from another exhibit. I rushed off to find her. She led me around to a few other places and then noticed something was wrong with me.

"Are you alright, Alex? You look like you just saw a ghost." she said

"Its fine, I'm okay. I just had a funny feeling in my stomach for a second that's all." I told her.

"Well, if you need to talk to me about anything, don't hesitate to say it. I'm your wife after all, that's what we are supposed to do." she said.

It felt good that I had someone on my side with this. That alicorn was probably still out there. I would have to watch myself to make sure I didn't have another confrontation with her.

We left the museum and got back into the carriage so we could be taken to our next destination. Luna said we would be going to a casino next. We pulled up to the "Hoof and Horn" casino. It was enormous with flashing lights and looked like something straight out of Vegas. We both walked in, even though I was under 18, and split up. Luna said she would be trying her luck at the slots and gave me a bag and said to trade what was in there for some chips or tokens. I looked in and saw it was packed full of gems. I guess this was their currency here. I walked up to the trading corner and asked for the chips. I gave the pony the gems and he gave me the chips. The first place I was going to head to was a poker table. Back when I was in the human world, poker was a big thing for me. I used to practice all the time and would win every game I played. My friend from school once said that as soon as we had the money we would be going to Vegas and winning big at the table. I finally found a table with an open slot and asked to get dealt in. The table was playing Texas Holdem, one of my personal favorites. The dealer dealt the cards. We all laid in our bets and the game began. The dealer laid out the first three cards. They were an ace, king, and a ten. The cards I had were a jack and a queen. I couldn't believe it. I was already going to win. I placed in about half the chips I had and the other players matched it with no hesitance. These guys were good, I could tell, they probably trained by some of the best gamblers known in this world, but nothing beats a home grown champ.

Finally all the cards were on the table, time to show what we had. I had placed a good majority of what I had in the pot and there was a large amount. The first pony had a pair of aces. The next had a pair of kings. The next had nothing, he was bluffing the entire time. The last pony had two pair. Then they all looked at me. I laid down my cards and surprised them all.

"Straight." I said simply.

They all looked at me like I had the word stupid written across my forehead. These were some of the best gamblers in Manehatten an I had just took their money. I smirked at them. We continued playing until I had tripled what I had, twice! That's right. Six times as much as I had. I left the table and went back to exchange what I had. The man gave me six bags of gems and I stuffed them in my hoodie pocket. I walked through the slots and found Luna laying on the floor with an empty bucket that I guess once had tokens in it. I walked up to her and asked her what the problem was.

"I lost everything, Alex. My sister is going to be so mad with me." she said and shuddered at the thought of what her sister was going to do to her.

"Its okay, your sister will not have to know." I said pulling out the bags of gems I had in my pockets.

Luna looked at me in amazement. She asked if I really won all that and I told her I won big at the poker table. I told her we should probably go before one of us gets a gambling addiction.

We strolled out of the casino and Luna's stomach growled.

"I guess we shall be getting something to eat?" I asked.

She looked at me with a look that said "you better believe it". We boarded the carriage and told them to take us to a nice restaurant. Apparently that was not hard because we only moved for about five minuets. We got out and walked into a restaurant that nearly made me pass out. It looked almost exactly the same as the one I took Maria to that night. All the memories came flooding back. All the pain from back then. I tried shaking it from my head but it refused to leave. We were immediately seated next to a window. We told the waiter what we wanted to eat and he left to place the order.

"Alex, there is something I need to talk to you about. It is very important." Luna said.

My first thought was that this was bad news, that she was leaving me or she thought this marriage was not right or something. I braced myself for what she had to say.

"The thing is, well, I was wondering, um-" she said but I cut her off telling her to spit it out.

"Well, the thing is, I want to have a child with you."

Return

Return

My mind froze. I could not understand what I had just heard. She wanted to have a child with me? That would mean. CRAP! I had no idea what to do. Luna was looking for a response and I was sitting here like a moron! I finally got some words out of my mouth:

"Wow, that's, uh, really a surprise, Luna. I think it is a perfect idea. There is also something I must tell you." I said trying to get the whole child thing off the table for a moment.

"What is it, Alex?" she asked, concern creeping into her eyes.

"Well, it happened last night. After I changed, I thought I had hurt you. I ran from the room and went to the balcony. I changed back into my normal self. Then something strange happened. A carriage made of solid gold came down from the sky. An alicorn came out, took one look at me, and had some of her guards arrest me. She kept calling me Aroc. She took me to a city of gold and locked me up in an asylum. She said she was going to lock herself in with me so that I could never escape. Then she claimed that we were married, then I just snapped. I escaped and was able to come back. As soon as I got back to the resort I ran inside and back to the room." I told her.

She looked at me in surprise, she probably didn't believe me. To tell the truth, I wouldn't believe that story either. For a long time she just looked at me, her beautiful blue eyes staring into mine. Then she spoke:

"Alex, I think I know who that alicorn was. It must have been the ghost of Equestria's first founder. That is why you looked so freaked out when we saw a statue of her. It was a myth that she had married a human when both your world and yours were connected and humans and ponies lived alongside each other. They formed the land of Equestria and ruled over it. Then one day, the human mysteriously disappeared. The queen took full responsibility for the country and died of old age. She was said to have disappeared the day she died." Luna explained.

Then a thought came to mind. Could the skeletons I saw in that room where I found the ring be the skeletons of Aroc and Equestria's first leader? My mind swam with thoughts. All of this news was overloading my mind. Thankfully the food showed up so I would have a chance to eat and collect my thoughts. We both ate in silence. When we were done, I paid the bill and we both left. We boarded the carriage and asked them to take us back to the resort. We had a lot of things to go over.

We finally made it back to the resort. We made our way to our room. We walked in to find Chrysalis waiting for us.

"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here. You just wont stop harassing my man will you? Alex, I forbid you from seeing this pony ever again, now come darling, we have lots of things to do today." she said getting up and heading towards the door.

She tried to drag me along with her. I just stood there, immovable. She asked me what was wrong.

"Sit down. We all have a lot to talk about." I replied.

We all sat down. I filled Chrysalis in on everything important that had happened while we were gone. I told her about Equestria's first leader and everything that had happened.

"Wow, isn't this an interesting turn of events." she said.

"I think we have already established this already, the first thing we have to figure out is what we are going to do. Alex still has not chose who he will divorce and who he will stay married to." Luna said, I turned to her.

"I think the ghost of Equestria's first leader takes precedence over who I will chose to stay married to. When she had me captured she said that she was going to keep me locked up so I could never harm Equestria. I think she is still trying to keep the lands best interest at heart. She may try to take back over." I said.

We sat and discussed it for the rest of the day. We all came up with good ideas on what to do. I suggested we find our way back to the city of gold and stop this before it had a chance to begin. Chrysalis's idea was to run away and hide for the rest of our lives. Luna's idea was to return to Canterlot and discus it with Celestia. All of them were good ideas(except for Chrysalis's, which totally sucked.), but we were still not sure what to do. Luna said that trying to find the city would be difficult and nobody knew how to get there. Our only resolve was to return to Canterlot and talk this over with Celestia. She should have an answer, I hope.

We packed all our things and I sent a message to Celestia, using my black magic, that we would be returning early. I sent the message and we boarded the carriage to take us home. We all rode in silence. Nobody had anything to say. Luna rested her head on my shoulder and Chrysalis did the same. I felt sorry for them. Their lives had been ruined and uprooted ever since I arrived in this world. Maybe Cadence was right. Maybe I should have just returned to the human world when I had the chance. I don't know how I could have been so stupid. The first thing that should have told me to go back was when I realized that two goddesses were fighting over me. That should have been the first thing to warn me. I guess love clouded me mind, or did it? Maybe I was supposed to do this. Maybe I was destined to save this world from whatever bad was going to happen to it. I sighed and laid my head back. After a while of staring at the roof of the carriage for a while, we finally landed.

Celestia had obviously gotten the message. Her, Twilight and her friends, my groomsmen, and a bunch of other ponies who I did not know were all waiting for us. We landed and I was the first to get out. Everybody ran up and welcomed me back. Some of them asked who I had chosen and I told them that we had bigger problems. I told Celestia to come with me, that we had a lot to discuss. She gathered Luna, me, herself, and Cadence to talk it all over. We met in the dining hall and all sat at the end of a table to discuss it.

"Is what you say true, Alex. Did the ghost of our first leader really capture you?" Celestia asked.

"Yes, she did." I said.

"Do you have any proof of this?" Cadence asked.

"Well, no. All I can say is that I was taken there and was able to escape." I said.

"Well, why do you think she would show up now?" Luna asked.

"I believe it is to take Equestria from you guys and rule it herself. That is just an assumption but it sounds like something that would happen." I said.

"It's not like she would make it a hostile takeover, I mean, she did rule over this land for a long time and obviously wont hurt anypony, so its not like this could explode on us." Celestia said.

"I think it could. Alex is obviously what she wants. Apparently she thinks that Alex wants to destroy Equestria and wishes to see that it never happens." Cadence said.

"Are you accusing me of something?" I asked.

"No, I am not trying to accuse anypony of anything." she replied.

"Well yea, that's understandable, but it sure did sound like you were on her side with this. You really don't think that I would ever do that, do you?" I asked her.

She just looked away from me. She had a distasteful look in her eyes.

"Well? If you got something to say, spit it out. Don't worry, this entire universe has been dissing me since day one, so go ahead, one more wont hurt." I said trying to get something out of her.

"Fine then, I think you should leave." Cadence said.

Luna leaped from her seat.

"That is out of the question, Cadence. Alex is one of the strongest beings that lives in this world! If our first leader decides to make this a hostile takeover we would need him to help us!" she said.

"I think the only thing that would make this hostile is Alex staying here." Cadence replied.

"It's still out of the question!" Luna shot back.

"Oh please, the only reason why you are saying this is because you are married to him. Love has blinded you, Luna. It is time for you to get rid of the human and open your eyes." Cadence said.

"I have a name." I said under my breath.

"Excuse me? I'm afraid I didn't catch that." Cadence said mocking me.

"I said I have a goddamn name you deaf idiot." I said

"How dare you speak to me in such a way!" she said standing up in her spot.

"And what are you going to do about it? Going to try and run back to Armor and tell him to save you? Well guess what sugar tits, you cant! You forfeited his protection when you decided you didn't love him anymore."

"I cant believe what I am hearing! I am the queen of the crystal empire!" she said trying to make herself bigger than she was.

"I don't see how that's going to help. I have more power in my thumbs than you have in your entire crystal army! If you challenge me you will be left with nothing!" I said really starting to get angry.

I stood up. My mind was made up. I was going to beat the living snot of this moron and teach her some lessons in respect for those who could kill you if they wanted to. I was just about to start in on her when Luna stepped in.

"Stop it, both of you. This is not solving anything! We have to figure out what we will do and fighting amongst ourselves will not help." she said.

I backed away. I respected Luna and would never do anything to make her angry on purpose. I walked back to my seat and sat down.

"I still think the human should leave, cut out the confrontation before it begins." Cadence continues.

"Why the hell should you be making any of the decisions? Celestia is the one in charge here, Cadence, not you." I said.

Cadence glared at me. I stood my ground and glared back. I was not going to let her get the satisfaction of seeing me afraid. Then I came to a resolve.

"Fine, if the 'queen' thinks I should leave, then fine. I will." I said getting up.

"No Alex, I told you its out of the question." Luna said getting up.

"No, its fine, but when the crap hits the fan even though I left, don't come crying to me when your all made slaves to her." I said.

"Fine then. If your leaving, so am I." Luna said.

"Now hold up, Luna, lets think this through a little." Celestia said as she too stood up.

"My mind is made up sister. I will be leaving with Alex. Don't try to stop me." she said.

I was touched that Luna would give up the life that she had just to stay by my side. Finally we may be able to get some time alone.

"Whats this I hear about Alex leaving?" I heard a voice ask.

It was Chrysalis. She had overheard that part of the conversation and was sticking her muzzle where it didn't belong.

"I'm leaving, Chrysalis, Cadence thinks its best for the entire land that I leave for a while." I told her.

"Well then, I will grab my things and we will be on our way." she said.

"You cant go, Chrysalis. It will just be me and Luna." I said.

"Oh hell no, remember what I said, Alex. I will not allow you to go anywhere with this alicorn alone. Trust me. I am going with you." she said.

I could tell that there would be no arguing with her. She had her mind made up and there was no unmaking it. I guess I would have to learn to live with her. I told the girls to grab their things that we would be leaving as soon as possible. They ran off to grab their things. I looked at Celestia.

"Are you sure this decision is the right one?" she asked.

"Yes, this is the best thing to do. All I have to do is just disappear for a while till this all blows over. Why would you care anyway? I thought you had lost all concern for me after Luna and I got married." I said.

"Well, after you love someone, that love never really leaves you." she said.

Wow. What she said actually sounded sweet. Either way. I had things I had to do. I had to get the Changeling queen and my wife to the human world. That would be the safest place. That way I could still get back in a timely manner if the shiz did hit the fan. It would also be easier to come back. The only thing I would have to worry about is finding a place to stay. My old house was out of the question. Maybe if I got lucky I could ask to live with my oldest brother, Dalton. He was the one who actually gave two craps about me so I hope he would help.

When the girls had their stuff together I told them we would be heading off. We left the castle and walked down to the ever infamous cave that connected the human world and Equestria. I made sure the girls were still with me and sure enough, they were there. We moved towards the cave. I walked in first and they followed. Soon the clops became footsteps. They had transformed. I walked out of the cave and turned around. Luna had a blue skirt on with a blue tank top and Chrysalis was wearing a ripped green dress that befit her due to the whole fact she looked corrupted and torn in her normal form. Her hair was the same and her eyes were a dark green.

"How do I look, baby? Do you like this form better than my original?" Chrysalis asked.

"I would rather not answer that question." I said.

I told them to make sure that they had their stuff. They told me they did. It was finally time. I thought I would never have to come back to this world and yet here I am. Time to get this party started.

Homeward Bound

Homeward Bound

I looked around. This world had not changed a bit. It looked like I had just left. I told the girls to stay with me. Chrysalis was absorbed in herself, she was feeling her boobs and was just amazed with her new look.

"Wow Alex, I never knew that human women looked like this. Are they all this stunning?" she asked.

"Well, not all of them. But I could say that some of them do look like that. Come on, we should probably get going." I told them.

We walked up the hill leading away from the river. I led them up to my old neighborhood. I found an old pay phone at the corner of the street I lived on. I pulled some spare change from my pocket and put it in the rusty coin slot in the phone. I punched in my brothers number and heard it ring twice. Then someone picked up.

"Hello?" I heard a voice ask.

"Hey, is this Dalton?"

"Yea, who's asking?" he asked.

"It's me, Alex. Look, I need a place to stay. Can I crash at your place for a while?" I asked.

"You got some balls calling me after what you did. I mean, up in the middle of the night, I don't see you for a while and then all of a sudden you call me telling me you need a place to stay?" he asked.

"Yea, that's about right. Just by your voice I'm going to guess that's a no." I said.

"Are your crazy? Just cause you left doesn't mean your aren't my bro! We have to stick together! Alright, where are you? I'll run by and pick you up." he said.

"Thanks bro, this means a lot. Now there is one small little issue that you should know about." I said.

"What?"

"Well, I have two friends with me, and uh, yea, I think you know where they're from." I said.

"Is it that Luna chick that you brought home?" he asked sounding concerned.

"Yea."

"Did you bring her psycho sister with you?" he asked sounding even more concerned.

"No, she still in the other world. Look, this call is only gonna last for a few more seconds, just get down here and I will explain everything." I told him.

"Fine, be down in a few." he said.

I hung up the phone. I turned to the girls and told them that we would be having a place to stay. They both seemed excited.

"Wow, this could be like a second honeymoon!" Luna said.

"Now lets back this up a second, this wont exactly be a five star experience. This isn't going to be some five star hotel and three meals a day kind of thing. I just need you both to keep your heads, okay?" I said.

They told me that they promised they would. About five minuets later, a black Lincoln drove up. At first I thought that this was the home owners association here to tell us to get out and that they did not allow solicitors or something but it wasn't. It was my brother.

"Hey bro, how you doin?" he asked.

"I'm doing fine, what is this?" I asked looking the car over.

"Oh, this? Its just part of a new bonus I got. I'm living like a king bro. Moved into a big house in a rich neighborhood, but living on your own in a big house sucks, so its good that I finally get to have some family over." he said.

"Well what about mom and dad?" I asked

"Well they have seen it, its just that they really don't keep in touch that well. You could say that they went off the grid. The last I heard of them was that they were in the Bahamas." he said.

I grabbed my things and stuck them in the trunk. I took Luna and Chrysalis's bags from them and stuck them in as well. Dalton looked at them for a second.

"So um, are these the friends you spoke of?" he asked.

"Yea, that's something I have to tell you." I said.

"We are his wives." Chrysalis said.

Dalton almost fainted. He unlocked the door and let us in the car with a dumbfounded look on his face. The three of us got in the back and Dalton drove off.

"Wow, I never thought I would see the day that my brother gets married before I did. Wow." he said.

"Yes, I was able to save him from this witch just before they sealed the deal, but she did it anyway and now we are in a bit of a predicament. Alex does not know who he will divorce and who he will stay with." Chrysalis said.

Dalton kept looking at me from the rear view mirror.

"So, Alex, who are you going to stay with?" he asked.

"I have no idea." I replied.

"I know for sure he is going to stay with me, because I have experience and know what a man likes." Chrysalis said as Dalton almost veered of the road.

The girls kept going on about which one I would chose to stay with. I looked at Dalton with a look that said 'help me please'. We continued to drive for about ten more minutes. He pulled into a neighborhood that required a key card to enter. The entire place was filled with two and three story houses with perfect lawns and expensive cars driving past.

"Dalton, you live here?" I asked.

"Sure do! I got a good paying job after you left and was able to afford to live in a place like this." he said.

"So, tell me, do you live alone?" Luna asked.

"Sadly I do, I am not married and have not been able to find a wife." he said.

"Do you have some human in mind?" Chrysalis asked.

"Not really. I haven't really given it much thought until you guys brought it up. By the way, Alex do you mind going to the store and getting a few things for me?" Dalton asked as we pulled into the driveway of a three story house.

"Yea, anything to repay for letting us stay with you." I said.

"That's good, I will be asking some favors of you time to time, they will be small and nothing you cant handle." he said.

"Anything for you bro." I replied.

We all got our stuff an got out. Dalton led us through his garage and into the house. It opened up into an enormous kitchen and dining room. Connected to the kitchen was the living room and a office area down a hallway. He lead us up stairs and gave us a room for the three of us to sleep in. It had three beds, a large walk in closet, and a window that looked out onto the street in front of the house. I told Dalton that we would we would get unpacked and I would be downstairs in a minute. He said okay and left. I turned and got my clothes unpacked into the drawers. The girls were able to get their stuff put away quickly and then started arguing over who would go with me to the store. I resolved it quickly by saying that Luna would be coming with me. When Chrysalis started to protest I told her that Luna had more experience with the human world than she did. Chrysalis accepted this and told me to not let her do anything to seduce me. I told her I wouldn't and led Luna back downstairs. Dalton tossed me his keys and the card to get in and out of the neighborhood and gave me a list of things to get.

"You know I don't have a license, right?" I asked.

"On the contrary, we dressed up Jeff to look like you and had a drivers license made for you." he said tossing me a leather wallet.

I opened the wallet and looked inside and sure enough, there was a drivers license with my name and a picture of Jeff looking like me. The picture did look like me so if I got pulled over the license would be believable. I asked him how I was going to pay for the things on the list and Dalton said there was money in the wallet. I told him we would be back soon and walked out the door. Luna and I got into the front of his car and I turned it on. We put on our seat belts and I slowly pulled out of the driveway. It took me a minute to remember what to do while driving and I got the hang of it as we exited the neighborhood. I pulled onto a street and drove towards a Walmart I saw on the way to Dalton's house.

"Alex, there is something I must ask you." Luna said.

"What is it?"

"Well, you see, about us having a child." she said trailing off.

There was no escaping it now. There was no way I could get away from this conversation.

"If you want to have a child, then it is my marital duty to give you one." I said and then regretted saying it two seconds later.

"I'm glad you feel that way, Alex." she said as we drove into the parking lot of the Walmart.

I found a parking space and we both walked into the store. Luna looked around in amazement. I guess she had never seen anything like this before. I got us a cart and pulled the list from my pocket. It read:

Milk

Eggs

Oj

Hamburger meat

Salad mix

Tea bags

Liter Fluid

Charcoal

Hammer

Nails

I thought the list seemed kind of weird, but my brother was letting us stay with him so I did not object. The first thing on the list was milk. I led Luna to the refrigerated section and picked up the milk. One by one we added the items to the cart. When we were done we headed to the check out isle to pay for everything. The total was $66.73. I looked in the wallet and found 300 dollars. I paid for the stuff and we left. We put the things in the trunk of Dalton's car and headed back to the house. I pulled up to the gate and scanned my card. The gates opened and I drove in. It took me a few seconds to find Dalton's house cause they all looked the same. I drove up and Luna helped me with the groceries. We walked in through the garage and laid the stuff down on the kitchen. I heard voices from the office. I walked towards it. The door was opened and I could not believe my eyes. Chrysalis was on top of Dalton kissing him passionately. I leaned against the wall. They did not seem to notice me cause they had their eyes closed.

"Hiya!" I blurted out randomly with a grin spreading across my face.

Both their eyes jerked open. Chrysalis leaped off of Dalton and stood in the corner. Dalton sat up and began scratching his head like nothing happened.

"Alex, baby, that wasn't what it looked like." Chrysalis said.

"It sure did look like it to me." I said.

"Alex, I'm sorry bro." Dalton said.

"It's alright dude, I should actually be thanking you. I have been thinking of a reason to divorce Chrysalis and now I have a perfectly good one." I said.

"What!" Chrysalis said with anger rising in her face.

There was a knock at the door. I ran to go and get it slamming the door behind me. Not sure why I guess it was to keep those two in their place. Luna was just about to open the door when I got there first. I told her I would open it. I opened it and saw a man about my age with black hair that seemed to be combed over to the right of his face. He wore a navy blue t-shirt with black gym shorts. He was panting like he had been running a lot.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Sorry for the intrusion sir, my name is Wild Heart, I was a guard for Princess Luna. I was sent here to give you and her a message." he said between pants.

"Wild Heart? I haven't seen you in a while! What is the message?" Luna asked from behind me.

"The message is that the negotiations will begin with the first leader tomorrow. We will be trying to figure out what she wants and what she plans to do. My orders are strict. When one of the princesses gives me a message, I am to come to the human world and relay it to the both of you." he said as he caught his breath.

"Are they paying you to do this?" I asked.

"No sir, Princess Cadence says it is my civic duty." he said.

"Well that's a load of crap. Stay here for a minute." I said.

I ran up the stairs to find one of the bags of gems I had won a few days ago. When I found one of them I grabbed it and came running back.

"Here you go, Wild Heart. It's for all the trouble of doing this. Every pony deserves a little something for their hard work." I said handing him the bag.

"Ah, Princess Celestia was correct, your kindness knows no bounds. I must be leaving now. Is there a response you would like me to take with me?" he asked.

"Yes, tell Cadence not to screw this up." I said.

"I will deliver the message sir. I will return if there is any new activity." he said and ran off.

I closed the door.

"He's a good man. Doing all this just to keep us informed. It must be horrible for him to have to run back and fourth between the worlds just to send a message. Why would they be doing that anyway? Why don't they just send it using magic?" I said.

"There is very little magic in the human world, Alex. The message may get to the recipient, but the entire message may not reach them. It is just easier to send a messenger instead of risk loosing any part of the message." she explained.

That seemed understandable. I walked back to the living room and found Chrysalis and Dalton waiting for me. I sat down on the couch and Luna joined me.

"Who was that?" Dalton asked.

"It has nothing to do with you, just don't concern yourself with it." I replied.

"Alex, I know your mad and I'm really sorry." Dalton said.

"Dude, chill! Its okay, like I said, you were actually doing me a favor." I said trying to get him to believe that it was fine.

"That's something I wanted to talk to you about, Alex. What do you mean by he is doing you a favor? Am I that hard to be married to?" she asked.

"No, its just weird being married to two people at once and it is better if I stay with the one I originally planned on marrying." I said.

"Well, now that we have gotten this out of the way, I assume we will be filling out the divorce papers when we return?" she asked.

"That would be the proper action." I said.

She got up and said that she would be getting her shower. That gave me a thought. What were we going to be having for supper? Luna had already put up the groceries and I had forgotten what we had bought.

"So, Dalton, what will we be eating for supper?" I asked.

"Well, you see, I have to tell you something. Mom and Dad invited me to eat at their house. I told them that you and your wife would be joining us." he said.

"And when were you planning on telling me this?" I asked.

"Probably on the car ride there. Don't worry, they're not mad at you or anything. I covered up for you, though they will be expecting to know who you married." he replied.

"You told them I was getting married?" I asked.

"What? Do you really think they would believe that you ran away the night you got back? No, I told them you ran off the Vegas to get married. I did not say who though. Either way, I did just recently call them and tell them that you would be bringing your bride with you so there is no backing out now." he told me.

Great, the family I hated more than anything in the world and I would have to face them again. I told Dalton fine, that I would go. He said good, that we would be leaving now. Chrysalis had just walked in with nothing but a towel on, I told her to go and get some clothes on, that we would be meeting the parents tonight. She said she would be back in a moment. Ten minuets later she came out wearing a black dress with spaghetti straps. I had no idea where she got it from but I had no time to ask. Luna looked at her and said she would be back as well. Five minuets later she came back in a similar looking dress except it was blue and sparkly. She had put her hair back into a ponytail and was looking good. I went to put on a new pair of clothes since my other ones reeked of sweat. I went back to find a pair of black dress pants, a black shirt, and a white hoodie. Dalton had gotten it for me, since my other white hoodie and pants were in tatters(Due to being attacked a few times and being killed once). I pulled on the clothes and some new Vans and ran for the door. I leaped in the car and the four of us sped off to my parents house. Dalton informed me on how everybody was doing. He said that Jeff had gone back to college and Samuel had done the same. The only people that were left in the house were Amanda, Shelby and Sarah.

"Great. Three of the people who tortured me the most during my childhood will be eating with me tonight. I wonder what they have in store for me." I said.

"It's okay, Alex. They actually blame themselves for your mysterious disappearances." Dalton told me.

Good, they deserve to be guilty. Years of torment made me be the most antisocial kid in our neighborhood. While most of the guys were out playing football, I would be in my room hiding from my sisters. When the guys would be hanging out at the pool I would be hiding from my sisters. When they all hit puberty I wanted my life to end.

We pulled up in the driveway and got out. We walked to the front door and I rang to doorbell. Five seconds later, Shelby opened the door.

"Hey little bro, its been too long. Dalton told me about your good news. Which one is the lucky lady?" she asked looking at both Chrysalis and Luna.

"Its me, I was the one who nabbed him!" Luna said with a bit of a excitement in her voice.

"Then this must be?" Shelby asked.

"This is, Christina." I said motioning to Chrysalis.

Chrysalis gave me an angry look. I ignored it and walked in past Shelby. The girls and my dad were all in the kitchen waiting for us. My dad walked up and shook my hand and welcomed me back home. I could tell living with a house full of girls was horrible. We all gathered around a table and sat down as my mom brought in the food. Fried chicken, corn, biscuits, gravy, beans, mini pot pies and sugar cured ham. My mom had really pulled out all the stops for this. We all loaded our plates with food. I was surprised when I saw Luna testing out a piece of chicken. She bit into it and seemed to like it. Chrysalis sat across from me. A few times she tried to make up for kissing my brother by playing footsies(If you don't know what it is, look it up.). She kept rubbing my leg with her foot. I ignored her and tried to pay attention to the conversation around me. She kept looking at me trying to give me an apologetic look. She stuck out her bottom lip to try to look sad. I did not give her the satisfaction.

"So, you must be Luna. I believe we have met before but never as my daughter-in-law. Tell me, how is being married to my son?" My father asked.

"Well, I must say he is a nice man and he treats me like royalty. He waits on me hand and foot and makes sure I am okay before he sees if he is okay. He is very romantic and a good kisser as well, but you almost have to rip it out of him. He is so shy that you literally have to take the lead. This one time I had to pull him into a shed at the beach just to get him to kiss me!" Luna replied.

I almost chocked on a piece of chicken. That is the one thing I expected Luna not to say and yet she did. My father had a grin on his face and my mother looked like she would have shot Luna if she had a gun. Everything was going well, I guess, but then there was a frantic knock at the door.

Murderous Intent

Murderous Intent

Everybody turned and looked. I was the first one to get up to go and answer it. I opened the door and really expected to see Wild Heart bringing me another message, but was surprised to see a boy not very much older than me. He was a little bit shorter than I was, had short brown hair and blue eyes. At first he just stood there, probably wondering who I was.
"Is Shelby here?" he asked, breaking the silence.
"Yea, who may I say is asking?" I asked.
"My name is Matthew. I'm Shelby's boyfriend. Who are you?"
"I am Alex, Shelby's younger brother." I said.
"Oh, hey you two. Its good to see that you two have met. This is Matthew, we were supposed to go see a movie this evening. I guess I will have to see you some other time Alex." Shelby said walking past me and out the door.

She closed the door behind her. At first I was surprised, then I realized who I was talking about and my give-a-crapness level went to zero. I turned around and sat back down at the table.
"I see that Shelby still has a social life." I said.
"Yes, she has been seeing Matthew for a while now. He is a very nice boy. If you hung around more you would know more about what's going on." my mother said.
"Now dear lets not blame him for this, I'm sure Alex had a good reason for having to leave." my father said defending me.
Everybody who was left was looking at me now. They were all expecting a story or a reason for my disappearances and sudden reappearances. I took a long sip from my glass and set it back down.
"I guess its time I told you all. No matter what people may have thought happened that night, I did not go to the cliff to end my life. I went there to try and clear my head. I tripped off the cliff and fell. Luna and her sister were sitting along the banks of the river that night and found me adrift. I had bad cuts on my chest and abdomen, so they took me to a local clinic to be bandaged up. After that they brought me back to their house to recover. I was passed out and did not awake for some time, that is why they did not bring me home. When I woke up I told them where I lived and they took me home. I do not know why, but I fell in love with Luna the minute I saw her. She was the first face I saw when I came back. Surprisingly enough, she fell right back in love with me. The night I came back, we decided to get married. We ran off to Vegas and had the ceremony. We came back to town and, well, here we are." I explained.
That was the farthest thing from the truth, or somewhat, something similar to that did happen, but just in a different world and missing some minor details. Surprisingly enough, they believed it. I was guessing they were fine with it. I assumed that every family needed a "black sheep" and I guessed I was it. We finished eating and Dalton took us all home. He said that there was something that me and him had to do so we dropped the girls off and we drove back out of the neighborhood. I asked him where we were going and he said that it was something that I had to keep a secret. We drove for about an hour and came up in an abandoned warehouse. We drove around a corner and came up on some cars that were waiting for us. Dalton got out and I followed. I had no clue what was going on, but I had a pretty good idea.
"Buenos tardes, senor McGrath. It is a pleasure to see you again." a man said coming forth who I assumed was in charge. He had a strong Spanish accent.
"The pleasure is all mine." my brother replied.

"Who is the boy?" He asked.

"He is my younger brother, I decided to take him along with me." Dalton replied.
"Ha! Trying to get your brother into the business. It is good to see." the man said.
One of the mans men walked up and handed us a bag of crystals and a bag filled with stacks of cash.
"That is your pay. Make sure to deliver the product. My buyers are expecting it to be on time." he said.
"It will be done." Dalton replied.
The man got back into the car and they drove off. I turned to my brother.
"What the hell is going on, Dalton?" I asked.
"Maybe you don't know everything about me. You know how I told you I was in a business? Well, it is not exactly legal." He said.
"You sell drugs!?" I asked.
"Yes, now come along, Alex. We have to go." He said, walking back to the car.
"Hell no! I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm not getting involved with this." I said.
"You don't have to. Just keep your trap shut about this and this will be the last time I will involve you in it." he said.
I stood there for a while. I found myself walking back to the car. I got in, only because I needed a ride home. We drove in silence. I refused to say anything. I could not believe it. Dalton was always the good one of the kids. He was on the football team, did good in school, and was in both NJROTC and NHS when he was in high school. I never thought I would see him get into drugs. It just wasn't like him. When we got home, I went straight up to get a shower. I got in and turned the hot water on. I was just standing there, my tears mixing with the water. What had caused mt brother to do this? That question hung in my head. I heard the door to the bathroom open and Luna was standing there, the only thing on her whole body, was a towel covering up her midsection.

"L-Luna? What the heck are you doing here?" I asked.
"I thought I would join you. You seemed like you were bothered by something so I came to figure out what it was." she replied.
She dropped the towel and stepped in with me. I kept my face turned away, not having the guts to turn. She stepped forward and rapped her arms around me. She laid her head on my back.

"Now, tell me everything." she said.
I told her why Dalton had taken me with him. I told him about his job and what had happened. She released her grip. She grabbed my shoulders and turned me around. She leaned forward and kissed me. At first I resisted, not wanting to let this go to far, but soon found myself kissing back. We sat down on the floor of the shower and let the water run over the both of us. She curled up next to me. She laid her head on my chest and closed her eyes. I thought her here would be a bad thing, but she had calmed me down. I held her in my arms and she looked up at me.
"I love you, Alex, and I will always be there for you." she said.
"I love you too, and I will protect you from anything that would hurt you." I said.
She leaned forward and kissed me again. Her boobs pressed against my chest. She pulled back and looked down at me. I could tell where this was going. She was leaning down to kiss my neck when there was a sudden loud noise. It sounded like a gunshot. I bolted up on my feet and did the first thing that came to mind, I stood in front of Luna, ready to protect her. When I was sure the danger had passed I ran out of the shower pulling clothes on left and right as I bolted down the stairs. I came down into the kitchen to find my brother laying on the ground. His head was laying in a puddle of blood. I ran to him and turned him over. The light had faded from his eyes, there was a bullet hole in the center of his head. He was dead. I was in shock. Tears slowly began to form in my eyes. My brother, the one who truly cared about me more than anybody in the world, was gone. I closed his eyes. Luna came down with a night shirt on. She clapped her hands over her mouth and gasped. I stood up. I walked back up stairs and pulled my white hoodie over me. I grabbed a butcher knife from the knife drawer and found a six-shot revolver in my brother top drawer.
"Where are you going, Alex?" Luna asked.
"I'm going to find those sick bastards, and I'm gonna kill em'."

Prologue

Prologue

My name is Alex McGrath. I am a human who fell into the world of Equestria by accident one day. Now I live in this world and am its protector. I help all those who need it. A few days after I landed my self in Equestria, I met the love of my life. Her name was Princess Luna. I can not for sure say what I felt when we first met but it is the closest thing to "love at first sight" as almost anybody has ever seen. But there was a problem. Luna's sister Celestia had fallen in love with me as well. She forbid us from seeing each other and threatened to exile the both of us as far from each other as possible. I had also found a ring that held the soul of the demon Aroc who tried to convince me to destroy all the ponies in Equestria over and over again. Celestia tried over and over to get me to love her but I stayed loyal to Luna. She eventually gave up on me but I believe she still has dormant feelings for me. One night, she said that me and Luna were to be married. I proposed to Luna and she accepted it. We got married and were planning to live the rest of our lives together, but(like most of the time.) something got in our way. The queen of the changelings, Queen Chrysalis brought forth evidence that we had gotten married the night before me and Luna's wedding was to take place. After a few minuets of fighting, Luna and Chrysalis came to an agreement. They would take me to a romantic honeymoon in Manehatten and try to woo me. Against my will, the girls brought me to Manehatten to choose who I would stay with and who I would divorce.

Everything was going normally(as normal as it gets I guess.) until Aroc delivered some grave news. He said his soul was leaving the ring and was fusing with mine. He said if our souls did not sink then both our souls would be destroyed. As a last stitch effort to save us both, I let Aroc's soul into my own. I felt as if his darkness was going to consume me. Then I remembered that I could not die and leave Luna alone in this world. Knowing I had to do this for her, I made our souls somehow sink. I was given the powers of Aroc and the dark magic I had learned was ten times as powerful. But then I was kidnapped by an Alicorn that claimed I was her husband and kept calling me Aroc. She then took me to a city made entirely of gold and planned to imprison me forever. In a fit of anger and rage, I freed myself and was able to escape back into my beloved Luna's arms. But then there was a knock at the door.
