The First Death

So, I am completely re-doing this story. I didn't like it before, so I am trying again. WARNING!: This is rated mature for a reason! There are cuss-words in this, and also sex and gore. Just, don't read if you cannot handle it. Enjoy the version 2.0!
Chapter 1: The first death.

Jay is a nineteen year old Caucasian male with black hair and blue highlights. His nickname is Faint or DJ Bron-3 during work hours. He is currently going to college and he works at night a a club DJ. He is a brony. In his free time he watches MLP:FiM or does parkour.
He does not have real family, but instead grew up with two other orphans, Marcus and Crystal, in an orphanage until the three were adopted by a white couple. They then moved into a 2 story mansion which also had a basement. Jay had loads of fun there, and loved it.
Later on in life he found MLP:FiM and showed his brother and sister. They all liked it. Jay, on more than one occasion, had tried to write his own fanfics. They never turned out just right, so he just kept deleting them and restarting. His brother and sister were his "Beta Readers" as he called them.
About two years later, his step-parents both died from a car crash, at the age of thirty-eight and thirty-nine. Their lives weren't as good after the accident, but they stayed together and kept on moving. The same year, the enrolled in a nearby college.
Jay went for courses in everything except for cooking. Crystal was probably one of the best cooks on earth, and he could cook a lot of different things. Marcus went for a more science and sports approach. Crystal went for the same thing as Jay. A year later, in 2012, Crystal was going to have her eighteenth birthday on April fourth, 9:00 p.m. Jay was going to DJ and set up. This is the day when his life would change forever, but in a more unusual way...

"Hey! Wake up!" Crystal was shaking Jay.
"Hey, whoa, what?......Crystal, it's six o' clock in the morning. Why are you messing with me already?"
"Well, guess what? It's my birthday tonight! You have to DJ for me! I want an original song tonight!"
"Alright, alright. I'll think of something! Now leave me alone." He yawned
"Oh yay!" She squealed and left his room, almost skipping.
Finally, some peace and quiet..... He thought. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Two hours later Marcus came into Jay's room.
"Hey, Faint, get up."
"What?" He lazily replied.
"We got shit to do today. Now get dressed. Today, we have some parkour to do."
Jay sighed. "Whatever, I'll be ready in a few."
"Alright. Me and Crystal will wait for you downstairs. Hurry up." Then Marcus left. Jay got up and went into his bathroom. He took a shower with lukewarm water. He walked over to his closet and opened it. His wardrobe consisted of hardcore style tripp pants,jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, long-sleeve shirts, skater shoes, and other accessories. Since he didn't have school or work today, and had to do parkour, he went with a more fit look.
He put on a pair of black jeans, a black shirt with Luna shrugging while eating an apple on it. Yes, Jay's favorite pony was Luna, so he had her on a lot of stuff in his room. A couple of wallpapers, and a plushie version. He put on his socks and his favorite blue and black sneakers.
They had really good grip. The last things he had to put on were his fingerless gloves, blue LED dog tags, dark blue watch, his signature blue goggles, and his red contact lenses. He needed glasses, but they said he could wear these instead. For now, he kept his goggles around his neck. Before he was done though, he had to brush he teeth and all that other good stuff, before walking up the stairs (his room was in the basement.) and into the bright, warm, sunlight filled kitchen where his family was waiting for him. He pulled a chair out and sat down.
"Of course, the best chef in the world is cooking us breakfast," Jay said to Marcus.
"Well, no shit sherlock!" Crystal said as she turned around, showing three plates of bacon, pancakes, and eggs. She set them down and gave Jay a cup of coffee, but OJ for her and Marcus.
I was the oldest, and the only one who like coffee. My coffee wasn't bitter though. It had chocolate syrup and milk in it. It was delicious! Then, to the real food. The pancakes were warm and fluffy, golden brown discs from heaven. The bacon was crispy, yet soft. The eggs, which had some hot sauce on them of course, were just awesome. I ate it all in about four minutes total.
"Whoa, slow down there Jay. It's not good for you to eat fast," Crystal said, sounding like their mom. They all laughed. Jay got up and cleaned his dishes before anyone else. He left out to his black and blue Ford Mustang GT. It was a metallic black with shining navy blue double racing stripes. His father had bought it for him on his seventeenth birthday.
He sat down in the driver's seat, and started the car. The engine roared to life. Crystal and Marcus soon followed. Marcus got in back first (only a two-door car,) and Crystal got in front.
See, Crystal wasn't like a normal girl. She was more of a tom-boy, and loved to hang out with her brothers instead of other girls. Yes, she did love cooking, she did still like boys, but she would rather be around her brothers than the jerks at their school.
Marcus, was more normal. He liked parkour, MLP, music, and cars. Practically everybody in their family loved parkour, music, and MLP but he was the only one really interested in cars. He was always jealous about Jay's car, but not seriously.
"Alright. You guys ready?" Jay asked, making minor changes to his rear-view mirror.
"Yep,"
"Uh-huh."
"Let's go then!" Jay said, He pulled out of the drive way, revved the engine, and sped off towards ''Parkour Park''. It was their favorite parkour place, because it was designed for parkour. It wasn't really a park, but it had all kinds of jumps, walls, and other obstacles made to test your skills. There were even some really long drops, and you had to either jump the gap, or find a way down. Only for experts. They reached their destination in about ten minutes. They noticed that only a few people were here today.
"Hey, why so little people?" Jay asked.
"I don't even care," Marcus said smiling, "Just more practice for us." Crystal rolled her eyes and explained.
"It's supposed to rain today. That's probably why." She said, getting out of the car.
"Well, i hope it doesn't. Even if it does though, it won't effect me." Jay said with a smug smile. Marcus left the car and went over to the wall-running course. Jay and Crystal closed the car doors and both went over to the drop-vault. All you ad to do was vault over the platforms barrier, similar to one of a building, (all the courses were designed to look like real-life buildings, just for atmosphere) and land on the smaller ''building'' without falling to the mats below, or losing your balance when you land.
They all practiced for about three to four hours, switching courses after a few runs, before it started to rain. It wasn't pouring, it wasn't heavy, but just enough to make the sky dark and get you wet. Jay was heading over to the most challenging course, when it started to rain. He stood on the start platform and pulled up his goggles. You would think these would mess up his vision, but it really helped him, wearing both goggles and contacts. He was about to start, when Crystal came up behind him.
"You aren't really going to do this in the rain, are you?"
"Well, Yes, i am. It will give me more of a challenge."
"If you make one slip up, you could die!" Marcus called, coming up to the platform.
"Listen, i can handle it. You have seen me do it before."
"Yea, without the rain!" (Usually, without rain, the course was safe and you wouldn't get hurt. With rain, it can be very dangerous.)
"Jay. Don't do it. Please. If you get hurt, or....or..." Crystal said, tearing up.
"You could die. We wouldn't know what to do without ya Jay." Marcus said. He wasn't crying, yet you could tell he was trying not to.
"Please. You Listen. I can do this. Don't worry. I promise everything will be fine!" Jay said, hugging a crying Crystal. She had seen one of her other friends, Jackie, die here. Except she was struck by lightning while going through the course. She fell, and broke her neck when she hit the ground. They all knew this. He turned around and faced the course. There was every challenge here, all put into one. He backed up and got a running start.
Jay was halfway through the course, and it was still raining. The next challenge was a wall-run into a jump onto another platform.
Easy enough, He thought. He started running and jumped to the wall, where he kept his feet running across the slippery billboard. He was about to jump when his right foot slipped. It was about thirty feet to the ground. Crystal and Marcus saw, and starting running, on the ground, towards their falling brother.
For Jay, everything was in slow-motion. He turned his head, and saw His brother and sister running towards him. He looked back up to the sky and watched the rain. Crystal and Marcus were both running at full speed towards him, but they weren't fast enough. He never felt the pain.
When he hit the ground at a high speed he broke almost every bone in his body.

Ta-ta, for now. I must go write chapter 2! I hope to see you all again!

Chapter 3: The new life

Alright, Sorry I take so long to update. Here it is though: Chapter 3: The New Life. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, back on earth,
Marcus, Crystal, and the Doctor were both in Jay's hospital room. Crystal and Marcus were on one side of him, the doctor on the other.
"Is he going to be okay doctor?" Marcus asked.
"I don't think so, Mr.Marcus."
"Is there any way to save him?" Crystal asked, tearing up.
"........No, Miss.Crystal. When he landed, he shattered almost all the bones in his body. One of his broken ribs punctured his heart. He died instantly. I'm sorry." The doctor said, looking at the now sobbing brother and sister. Marcus was hugging Crystal, who was Crying into his shoulder.
"Why....Why...didn't..he...listen...to...me?" She said through sobs.
"I...I don't....I don't know Crystal. I....I knew he was good....but still...." Marcus said. He broke away from the hug and looked at her. He wiped th tears of her eyes.
"But listen," He said, trying not to cry, "I know he would want us to keep on living. We'll just have to meet him in the afterlife."
He said, smiling. Crystal looked at her brother. She knew his was probably right, but he didn't want to accept it. She sniffed and stopped crying. She hugged him again.
"I...I know."
"Then let's go. We still have to throw you a party. It's almost time, and your other friends will be arriving soon. He had a song that he made yesterday for today. I can play that for us."
"It won't be the same though."
"Well, we have to do it anyway. He would've wanted us to still do this." Marcus led Crystal out of the hospital. He had to keep her happy, and her thoughts away from Jay.

Back in Equestria,
Twilight and her friends were having a picnic on the beautiful sunny day. Spike had prepared it earlier.Today's picnic was because Twilight had discovered a new spell where when she touched a pony with her horn, it would flood her mind with information on said pony. It would only give her information on their name, where they're from, and their personality.When Pinkie found out she decided to throw a party. Twilight decided to instead have a picnic. It was a pretty normal day, until it suddenly started to get dark, clouds surrounding a certain point in the sky.
"What? There's no scheduled storm for today!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"Hmm, this is weird." Twilight said. Then a flash of lightning struck and a loud *BANG* rang throughout ponyville. When Twilight and her friends looked back, they saw a pony falling from the sky.
"Look! Somepony's falling!" Applejack yelled. They all started as fast as they could towards the falling pony. Rainbow Dash flew towards him and to try to save him.
He was falling at high speeds, so high that Twilight wondered how he did not burn up while falling. That's when this new pony hit the ground. It was a crash so loud that they all had to cover their ears with their hooves.
The impact sent a shock wave that shook the trees and the ground, almost making the ponies fly back.
"Wow! That is one huge crash! It was like, pheeeeeeeewwwwww then boooooom and then crash!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"She's Righ' Twi." Applejack said, looking towards Twilight.
"That was louder and bigger than the sonic rainboom!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
"It was quite strange, Twilight dear. What do you think it was?"
"Well....I don't know! Let's go find out!" Twilight said.
"Umm...Twilight? I don't know...it landed in the everfree forest.... it's so scary in there..." Fluttershy said. Twilight sighed.
"Fluttershy, we might need to use the elements of harmony. That means that you HAVE to come. We need you!"
"Oh...well since you put it that way... okay." They all started down the path, into the everfree forest. They walked in silence, all except for pinkie, who was babbling on about random things, listening for any type of pony-sounds.
After only a few more minutes of walking they found the gigantic crater, just to the right of the path. Immediately they galloped over to the center. What they saw was a dark blue.... alicorn?
"What?! How's that possible?!" Twilight exclaimed. She cautiously started walking to.. it and got a closer look. He was an alicorn. He had some black clothes on, and some boots. He had a pair of goggles, also blue that were around his neck. His mane was black and a lighter shade of blue. Also, there were black zebra stripes all across his body. Lastly, his eyes were a bright red, and they were shaped like... like dragon eyes! He seemed....different than most ponies.
Besides being an alicorn and all. Rainbow Dash flew over, slowly, and looked at her, then to the pony.
"Rainbow, don't." Then, she landed and poked him. When he didn't move, she poked him again, harder. The pony sprang up, his wigs flared, his horn glowed with a more blue/purple light. He looked at them and tried to turn and run, but he fell.

Jay's POV
God, why did you send me down like a meteor? That REALLY hurts ya know! He thought to himself. Suddenly, he was poked. Right on his nose. He decided not to move, so that they would go away. He was poked again, but this is when it got really irritating. He sprang to his... hooves?
Am I.... am i really here? He looked around, and he saw six ponies. He tried to run and run, to get away and think, but he fell. He was exhausted. Dieing really does that to you. Jay tried to get back up, but he was way too tired. He blacked out.
Jay woke up again, but this time he was on a couch, under a blanket. The house was oddly familiar.
"Oh...Um... Hi. MY...my name's Futtershy...We..um..we saw you fall and i took you to my house so you could get better."
He looked at the voice and saw Fluttershy, walking towards him with a bowl of soup.
"No, it's okay...Fluttershy. Thank you, for taking time to help me."
"I..i always help ponies or animals in pain. I love to." She smiled. Jay sat up and she gave him the bowl.
"Oh, my name is Faint, by the way." He said, trying to make it seem believable. He tried to pick up the spoon in the bowl. It was difficult at first, but he did it. The soup she made was amazing!
It tasted like the vegetable soup Crystal made, back on earth. Jay sighed.
Ahh, earth. I will miss you. I will miss my friends and family too. He thought as he ate.
He looked around again, but Fluttershy wasn't there. He finished the soup and set the bowl down on the table near him. A couple of minutes later the mane six walked in from the front door, Fluttershy in the lead.
"Now listen girls, he is still tired...probably. Please try not to be mean to him."
"Ok Flutter, don't worry." Twilight said smiling. Jay could see their expressions as they saw him, laying down. His first instinct was to get up, but when he tried Fluttershy laid him back down.
"No no no, Faint. You can't get up, you must rest!"
"While we, ask you some questions." Rainbow Dash said. They all took seats in different parts of Fluttershy's cottage.
Jay moved in a way so that Fluttershy could sit on the couch next to him. Twilight looked at him and started to talk.
"Alright, who are you?"
"I am Faint." Applejack gave him a funny look, but said nothing.
"Where are you from?" Jay hadn't prepared for that question.
"I am from... Manehattan." Again, applejack looked at him. He knew that she knew he was lying.
"How is it possible that you are an alicorn? There are only two in existence."
"I...I was born like this. My mom was a unicorn, and my dad was a pegasus." Applejack frowned, trying not to speak. It was also partly the fact that Jay was a bad lier.
"Hmmm.. okay. Why were you falling from the sky?" This was another one he hadn't expected.
"...I was flying and crashed into another pony, but he just kept flying. My wings locked up, and I started to fall." That was the last straw.
"Twilight, I can tell this guy's lyin'."
"Really, I had noticed too." She looked back at Jay. "The truth now." Jay was nervous, because what he could say would turn up more questions.
"That's okay, if you don't want to talk. I have already informed the princess about you, she will be here any second now."
Right on Que, The princess's carriage landed outside. Both princesses got out and walked towards the cottage. The door was opened by princess Celestia's magic.
"Princesses! Thank you for coming!" All the ponies got down and knelled. Jay tried to do the same, but he just fell on his face. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie both giggled. Fluttershy helped him up, back onto the couch.
"It was no problem, my most faithful student. We figured this was more urgent than what we were doing at the moment."
Luna looked at me, seeing the similarity to her. Celestia spoke again, looking at Jay now.
"You. I know what you are. I know that you have no thought of harm for me or my little ponies, so I will allow you to explain."
"As in?"
"I want you to explain what your intentions are."
"Oh, that's easy! I just wanted to get away from it all. The murder, the rape, the theft, the wars, and everything else back home. I figured this was the best place to be."
"I can tell that thou tells the truth." Luna said and turned to Celestia. "You can trust him sister."
Celestia seemed to relax. She looked at Jay again.
"Alright. I will allow you to stay. But, whenever I need to, i will summon you to tell you something important, or if something comes up that I think you know about. Especially, if there are new ponies. Be warned: If you ever hurt one my ponies, you will be banished to the moon. If it is really bad, you win a one-way ticket to the sun." With that and a smile to the mane six, she and Luna left back to Canterlot.
The mane six looked back at me.
"Well...." Jay said, getting up, "I must go now. I kinda want to fly around, go sightseeing, ya know?" He said as he casually walked around them, to the exit. He was blocked by Rainbow Dash.
"Hey, if you're flying, I'm coming!" She said.
"Alright, but I have to get used to it again. My wings still kinda hurt, so it will take me a couple of tries to get flying properly."
"Whatever," She said, rolling her eyes and opening the door. "I'll see you guys later!" She called as her and Jay left. Rainbow Dash almost immediately took off. She looked back at Jay, who started galloping. He jumped, and tried to use his wings.

The New Pony

Alright, I told a friend his OC was now going to enter the story.Now, I am going to write this on/off first person. Another thing: Instead of Jay, i will just use Faint until they find out his human name. It makes it a little but less confusing in talking scenes. But still, most of it will be from Faint's (Jay's) POV. Chapter 3: A New Pony. Enjoy!

Today was a normal day. It was sunny, bright, and colorful just like usual. Faint was walking down the streets of ponyville. He had his usual vest and goggles on. Faint was also tired from flying with Rainbow Dash yesterday.
She had shown him all her moves, including the sonic rainboom. Then Faint did something that amazed everypony who saw. He had performed his own sonic rainboom, but his wasn't a rainbow. It was more of a blue and black streak. When he broke the sound barrier, there was a shockwave of blue/black. It was truly awesome.
Then, he found out that Fluttershy would take him in, so he would be staying with her until he found a home of his own. He decided to not wear his boots anymore though, until winter. They wouldn't be needed. It had been almost a full day since he 'arrived' in Equestria. While he was walking, a lot of ponies gave him funny looks, but he didn't care.
Today, he was just going to look for some type of job, to earn money. He was about to walk past sugarcube corner when his stomach rumbled.
I guess one cupcake won't hurt. He thought. When Faint walked in he ordered a chocolate cupcake. Fluttershy had given him ten bits, so he could use it for things he needed/wanted. The cupcake was only two bits, so he had not spent a lot and it was worth it! He left sugarcube corner, feeling much better.
He started to walk around and crashed into a galloping pony. They both landed on their haunches. He was a mix of a brown and red coat. His mane and tail were both a lighter, more milk chocolate brown with blue streaks. Faint got up and looked at the pony, who opened his eyes. They were a light grey. He looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Oh. Um, sorry about that." He said.
This guy is almost as shy as Fluttershy, Faint thought.
"No, it's okay. I'm Faint." I said as I held out my hoof to him to help him up.
"Hi...I'm... Bass Chord." He said, slowly grabbing my hoof. I pulled him back up. I smiled at him, but he looked nervous.
"So, Bass Chord, what are ya doing in such a rush?"
"N-Nothing really..." He said.
"Don't worry, I'm a friend."
Something is really off about this pony... Could it be? "Hey, I need to talk to you in private." He tried to act casual, but he wasn't very good at it. When they were back inside sugarcube corner, Faint led Bass to a booth, near the corner of the store. Away from everypony else.
"Alright. I have a question. Are you, from earth?" Faint asked, looking at Bass for an answer. Bass looked back at him in astoundment.
"How did you know?"
"Because I'm also from there."
"Oh wow. Cool!" Bass seemed to relax around Faint.
"So what happened?"
"Well," Bass started. "I guess all there is to say really is that I was killed in a car crash accident. I was in the passenger seat of my friends car. We were just driving like normal, and the green light came on. He started to go, and then a truck slammed into the side of his car. I was killed instantly. The only way I know this I because God had told me."
"Wow, sounds sad."
"It isn't all that bad. I did get to come here, of course!" They both laughed.
"What happened to me was this: I was running a parkour course, when it started to rain. I went for a wall run into a wall jump onto the other platform, but i didn't pull it off. I slipped and fell, I don't know, like twenty or thirty feet? I broke all my bones and almost died instantly. I would have lived, but one of my ribs punctured my heart. God also told me this."
"Damn. That sucks." He smiled and I smiled back. He was one of my first friends here in Equestria.
"So, what are you gonna do now?"
"I don't know. I have just been looking for a house. And, Carrot Top. I can't find her anywhere!" He sighed.
"I guess I can help you with that. We could also look for a house."
".....You wouldn't mind staying in the same house? I'm not gay, so I think it would work."
"Me either!" I said and we laughed again.
It seems that Bass Chord is way more relaxed around me, now that we know each-other more.
"So it's settled then? We look for a house, then you help me find Carrot Top."
"Well, it's not that simple. First, we have to find jobs and earn money. Then, we find and buy a house. Lastly, we find Carrot top for you. One note though. I am also looking for a certain girl-pony. Her name is Vinyl Scratch."
"Alright, there is our plan. Phase one: ACTIVATE!" He truck a pose while I just laughed at him.
"C'mon, superman." I pulled him down from the table he stood on and we left the sweet shop. Now to find some jobs.
"Alright, is it okay if i call you Bass?"
"Sure."
"So, Bass, what are you good at?"
"Really, I'm good with music. I do a lot of romantic songs." He kinda blushed.
"Alright. I also like music. I do more of a techno/dubstep rave music." I grinned.
"Ok then. So, we should find something in music?"
"Like a club." I said. His eyes widened, just a little, when he realized what I meant.
"Club Pon-3?"
"With DJ Vinyl Scratch. or, DJ PON-3."
"Alright then. Let's go find it, and apply."
"I hope it works that way. It is a club, after all."
"I have an idea. but....I am too shy to do it myself."
"Tell me on the way there."
"Alright then. Just to let you know, I am shy. I want to perform on stage though. I will need some help." He shyly smiled.
"It's okay. That's what friends are for."

This chapter is split into two parts! Just letting ya know.

Club Pon-3

I took this from chapter four. It was over 2,000 words, so i cut it in half! Here it is: Chapter 5: Club Pon-3

Bass Chord and Faint. Faint and Bass. Which one sounds better? I thought to myself as we walked over to the club.
"Ya know," Bass said, looking at me, "If this doesn't work, we could always be male strippers." I knew it was a joke, so we laughed. He almost cried, and I tripped.
That just made us laugh even harder. I got up, and we walked for another minute. We turned a corner, and found it. Club Pon-3. It didn't look like much from the outside. It had a red-carpet entrance, while the building surrounding it was a more black color.
The canopy above the entrance said "Club Pon-3" and it was navy blue. We walked up to the door, where a unicorn bodyguard "bouncer" or whatever you call them, was waiting for us. As we walked up, he stopped us.
"Stop right there. Are you on the list?" He asked, standing in front of the door.
"Oh, wait. There's a list?" I asked, surprised.
"Nah, I'm just messing with ya. Go right on in." He smiled and opened the door. I smiled back and we walked in. We were almost immediately with blaring sounds of dubstep beats.
We open the door inches ahead and the music get way louder, and we can also see the light effects. I walk in, Bass following me, and look around. I saw head-bobbing ponies, some dancing, some drinking. I looked dead ahead and saw her:
She had a paper-white coat, crazy light/dark blue mane, and those purple goggles. I couldn't help but stare. She was head banging to her song.

This is what she was playing.

*22 minutes later, when the song finished.*
"Wow, sucks that we had came when she only had one song left." Bass said to me.
"Yea, well, time to put our plan in action! C'mon." I trotted off to where Vinyl Scratch had went. Through a back door, in the dressing room-hallway. Bass followed as I looked the name on every door.
"Nope....nope...nope....AHA!" I said. I knocked on her door, and waited. A moment later she came and answered the door, with her goggles off.
"Who are you?" She asked, scanning me.
"Well, my names Faint. He is Bass Chord." She peeked her head out and I saw her rose-red eyes. I still had my goggles on though, so no-one has really seen my eyes yet. Except for Bass and Fluttershy, of course.
"Alright, what do you guys want?"
"Well, see, we are looking for jobs in the music part of Equestria. I DJ, he writes songs. He also sings, of course."
"Hmmmm.... Then come in. I guess I have time to talk." She fully opened the door and we walked in. Her dressing room wasn't much. Just like the dressing room you see in movies, I guess. She sat down on a chair and pointed to a couch a little bit away from her.
"So what, exactly, did you guys come to me for?"
"I would like to be a partner DJ to you. He would like to write songs and perform them. He needs someone who can get him gigs though." Vinyl Scratch sat there, thinking about this.
These new ponies seemed nice, but she didn't know them yet.
"Listen. I don't know you guys. If you can prove you are good though, I'll see what I can do." I smiled at Bass.
I knew he was too shy to say his idea, so I would.
"My friend here expected you to say that. His idea is for me and you to have a DJ battle. For him, he would perform a song for you, after our battle."
"I like it," She said as she got up. "Let's do this tomorrow. I think that you may need to practice. I will allow you to practice with my private deck. Your friend Bass can also use a spare dressing room for his practice. See ya tomorrow." She was holding open the door. Bass left first, then me, then Vinyl. She locked the door behind her.
"Cool. See ya then!" I called as she trotted off to the exit. Bass looked at me.
"Well," he said, "Now what?"
"We look for a house, remember?"
"...Nah, let's practice for tomorrow." He headed into dressing room 5.
I looked around till I found Vinyl's Deck. It was blue, of course. I started on my old songs, and a new one.

We practiced for two hours straight. We got a message from Vinyl saying that we had to close up, so we did. It also said to be there again by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. Bass was tired from singing, me from mixing and thinking. We walked back to Fluttershy's house.
"Oh, hey Faint." She greeted us at the door. "Who is your new friend?"
"His name is Bass Chord. His friends call him Bass. Do you mind if he stays here for a bit?"
"No, not at all. Any friend of your is a friend of mine!" She said as she let us come inside. I did think of one problem though.
"Hey, where can I sleep?" Bass asked.
"Well...." Fluttershy said. "Faint, do you mind sleeping in my bed with me? Bass can stay down here, on the couch." She smiled. I heard Bass snicker and I pushed him. Jokingly, of course.
"I wouldn't mind. Get some rest Bass. See you in the morning."
"Yea, Yea." He said as he crawled into a blanket on the couch. Fluttershy turned off the lights and led me upstairs. Her room looked exactly like it did in the show. I got under the covers and she did the same. I turned of the lights and closed my eyes. I put one hoof around Fluttershy. I knew she didn't mind, because she same closer to me.
"Just to let you know," I said looking at her, "I like somepony else. But, seeing as I can tell something is wrong, I am here to comfort my friend."
"I...I haven't been sleeping well. Thank you."
I leaned in closer and whispered into her ear.
"No problem." As I fell asleep to her quite and steady breaths.

Take that Shadow! Nah, just kidding though. Please, no one think that the next chapter will be about me and Flutter. I like her, of course, but I won't do that. I have a friend that would kill me if I did. Anyways, TO THE NEXT CHAPTER!

The Heat

Alright, Here it is. Chapter 6: The Heat. Enjoy!

I opened my eyes to see Fluttershy, still under my hoof. I smiled and started to get up. The dream I had last night consisted of me and Vinyl. I'll let your imaginations work with that. She noticed me and got up herself. She yawned and trotted out of the room. I made the bed and followed her down the stairs. I trotted over to Bass and woke him up. He tried to roll over but he fell onto the floor. I laughed, he laughed, and then he got up and rubbed his head.
"So," He whispered, "Get any action last night?" He smugly smiled. I rolled my eyes as we walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Fluttershy!" I called.
"Hey Faint. How..how did you sleep last night?" She asked. I smiled.
"Last night? BEST sleep ever! I bet no-one sleeps as good as I did!"
"Oh..Well...Um...That's good...." She said as she placed down the bowls she had in her hooves. "Well...I.. I made us breakfast...if you don't mind.."
"Nah, it's cool Fluttershy! I am starving anyway!" Bass said and smiled. I think he was trying to not be so nervous around Fluttershy. Good. We all sat down, and started to eat. Me and Bass were hesitant, but I dove in. Fluttershy had only made
honey and oats. Just like cereal back home.
When Bass saw me, he jumped in. I mean, he took one bite. Next thing I new, HE SNARFED THE WHOLE BOWL DOWN! About five times I saw him swallow. Then the whole bowl was empty. I swallowed what I had and stared at him in awe. Fluttershy was calmly eating hers. He smiled and I laughed. We finished off our breakfast a few minutes later.
A loud knock came at the door.
"I'll get Fluttershy. Don't worry 'bout it." I called over my back as I trotted to the door. I turned the nob and pulled the door open. I saw a pegasus stallion with shaded gray coat, brown eyes, and a black and ice blue mane.
"Hi, um, my name is Shadow Breeze. I am looking for Fluttershy, is she here?" He tried to look around me. I blocked his vision by standing on my hind hooves.
"Yes, she is here. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I need to talk to her, if you don't mind." I looked at him, sighed, and let him pass.
"Take a seat on the couch then. I'll go get her." I pointed to the couch then went into the kitchen.
"So, um, who was that Faint?"
"It's this guy who says his name is Shadow Breeze, and wants to talk to you."
"Oh, he wants to talk to me? I-I don't know...."
"Don't worry, I'll be there just in case."
"O-Okay then. I guess I can try." She trotted in and sat down in the recliner. I stood behind her with a hoof on her shoulder, like I was protecting her. She was my best friend, so I had to be there for her.
"Hey..Fluttershy....I-uh...wanted...I-just-wanted-to-take-you-out-this-friday!" He blurted out. He then covered his mouth with his hoof. I snickered. Fluttershy blushed.
"Oh...um, I-I don't know...." She looked up at me, so I whispered into her ear.
"I think you should go, and have some fun. Who knows, this could turn out A-Okay. Give him a try, he seems honest enough."
"Do you really think so?" She whispered.
"Yes, no go on. If you really want me to, I'll fly over and check on you every hour."
"Would you really do that?"
"Yep." She looked back at Shadow Breeze, who was staring at Fluttershy. She didn't notice, but I did.
"I-I think that would be nice." She said to him. What happened next.... was totally priceless. His eyes widened and he stuttered, and fainted.
"Oh, poor thing," Fluttershy said. I heard Bass laughing in the kitchen, and couldn't help but fall on the floor, laughing and rolling around myself.
"He- He really just fainted?" Bass asked as he walked into the room.
"Yep!" He just laughed harder, but fell and laughed even harder. We stopped laughing after about five minutes or so. I could barely breathe, and Bass was shedding tears of comedy. After we were fully done, I stood up and went to look at the calender.
Hmm, what is "The Heat?" I wondered.
"Hey Fluttershy," I called.
"Umm... Yes?"
"What does 'The Heat' mean? It's written on today's date. A look of horror and dread spread across her face. Shadow Breeze had woken up, and he and Bass walked in. Seeing Fluttershy, they asked what was wrong.
"This is bad.." She murmured.
"What?"
"The Heat. It's...um...when...it's when all the mares in equestria go into a state of... well..."
"Lemme guess," I said. "They go into a state of... hornyness?"
"Something like that, yes. But they stop at nothing to get their prey. I mean NOTHING! What time is it?" She had slammed her hoof down at 'NOTHING' and then looked at Shadow. He looked back at he clock.
"Uhh, it's only 11:01." He said. "Why?"
"Because the Heat starts at twelve."
Crap.
I looked at my friends who stood before me.
"You guys have to get away! Even I go into the Heat. It's not pretty, for anyone!"
"Alright, let's go take the train." Bass suggested.
"That will not be needed," Said a familiar mare's voice. We all looked to see the mane six, specifically Twilight, who talked.
"I think I can teleport you three, plus Big Mac." I looked past her to see him waiting behind.
"Alright, let's do it." I said. Shadow finally looked around. (He was staring at Fluttershy again.) He almost fainted again. This time though, it was only a slight slip, which he made look natural.They led us outside, and had me, Shadow Breeze, Bass, and Big Mac stand in a group.
"Wait, where are you gonna send us?" Shadow asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Manehattan. We'll see you when the Heat is over!"
"WAIT!" I yelled.
"WHAT?!"
"When does the Heat end?"
"Tonight, twelve 'o clock, midnight."
"Alright, See ya!"
"Bye Fluttershy!" Shadow yelled.
We were gone in a flash of purple light.
I blinked a few times, to get my vision adjusted. When could see clearly, I stood up. I looked around me, and saw the rest of the group.
"Hey, guys, get up. We need to hurry and prepare for this!" I hit each of them with my right hoof, not too hard, to wake them up.
"Alright, we need to find someplace safe to stay until the Heat ends." Then, we heard a voice. It was an evil voice.
"Lookie here, I guess you stallions played right into my trap. We are going to play a game." I looked around for a second time, and noticed something materialize right in front of us. My friends saw this, and jumped right up. It was.... well, it looked like Discord. There was something off about it though...
"It's....It's not Discord....." I heard Bass say. It was true.
"Well, you sure caught on fast." It gave a couple of fake claps.
I now figured out the small difference. They eyes were blue, and the horn on top was red.
"My name is not Discord, but it is Calyptico."

The Heat: Part 2

Wow, I wasn't expecting to have the last chapter be so long. So, I decided to split it up. No, I have decided that every chapter has a limit of 5,000 words, and I want to fill in at LEAST 2,000.(Last chapter and this chapter are an exception. After this chapter though, it will start.) So, here is part 2! Chapter 7: The Heat: Part 2 Enjoy!

"What do you want with us?!" I yelled at him.
"I know you from Earth, Faint. Or should I say, Jay?" Big Mac raised a brow, but said nothing.
"How the hell do you know who I am?"
"That is for another time. All you need to know is that are my nemesis and I hate you. Now, I must explain the rules of my game." He rubbed his hands like villains did.
"Rule number one! No Flying!" He snapped his claws and our wings dissipated.
"Rule number two! No magic." My horn went away, and I could feel something being sucked out of me.
"Rule number three! You will all be turned into mares. The rest of manehattan, no matter what, will be turned into stallions. Except for the children, of course. They'll be safe..." This time.. This was the worst. I felt...I felt my stallionhood go away, and was replaced with a marehood. It was so weird. My voice also changed. It sounded more.. peppy, and Girlish.
"Lastly, No outside help!" He said and a giant blue bubble came over manehattan.
"So. There are only two ways to get out. One, you find the six keys I hid all over manehattan. Or two; Get raped by a stallion. Now, to mention, you are not the only ones here. There are three others, one natural mare, two turned into mares. You can get help from them, if you can find them. The heat starts in ten minutes. I think you'd better hurry." He gave an evil grin, then dissapeared into thin air.
"FUCK!" Shadow yelled.
"CELESTIA BE DAMNED!" Bass screamed.
"Eeyup." Big Mac said. His voice scared the hell out of me. Now, it was really velvet smooth, the kind that made you feel horny, and it was kinda attractive. Yet, I knew he was a stallion, and it wouldn't work out.
"Listen, clam down! Let's get moving, meet the other three, then find a safe house!" I tried to calm them down. It took a couple of minutes, but we finally got moving. After a while of being cautious, I turned a corner to find... stallions. Hundreds of them in fact.
"Oh fuck me..." I muttered. One of them saw me, alerted the others, and they galloped towards up.
"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! RUN! RUN LIKE THE WIND!" I yelled, and we took off. We galloped at top speed for a few minutes. I turned my head. They weren't following anymore. I slowed down, but still ran into another pony. She had a light blue-gray coat, with long dark purple hair. The way she kept it was like Rainbow Dash's, but way longer.
"Sorry!" I said as I got up. She rubbed her head, and I helped her up. (sounds familiar huh?)
"Hi. My name is Faint."
"I'm Sophielyn. My friends call me Sophie."
"Alright, nice to meet you." I held out a hoof and we shook. Then two other ponies came around the corner.
"Listen, Sophie. If you have an imaginary friend all of a sudden, I-" The one talking was an auburn mare with a reddish mane and tail. I could tell it used to be a stallion, by the way it talked.
"Who are you?" asked another pony, this one was plant green, with a red mane. His tail matched his mane perfectly.
"Listen," Shadow said, "We don't have time for introductions. Maybe later, but right now, we have hundreds of stallions chasing us. Talk later, find a safe place now!" They nodded, so we started off again. This time, we were trotting. We went around in silence, looking for a place to stay.

*30 minutes later....*

"Hey, I think I know this really great hotel that we can go to!" Sophie said out of the silence.
"Why didn't you say this sooner?" The green one said.
"Be-Because it's right there...." She pointed to a gigantic building. We ducked inside and closed the door behind us. Big Mac wandered off. I didn't care, he is strong. We shouldn't have to worry.
"Alright, we need to see if anypony else is still in this place. Check all the rooms. If you see somepony, buck them right in the face. Unless, they are not a stallion! Now, let's move out." Shadow said.
Since when did he want to lead?
The three newcomers hesitated.
"Oh, hey. I forgot. What are your names?" I looked at our new friends as I spoke.
"I'm Raven Smite!" Said the auburn pony.
"And I am Dylan." I looked at the green pony. He had a kinda weird name.
"Alright. Raven Smite, Sophie, Dylan, meet Shadow Breeze, and Bass Chord. My name is Faint." I shook hooves with each one and got back to business.
"Now, let's move out. Each of us goes to a different floor." Just now, Big Mac walks in. He's carrying wooden planks, nails, and a hammer.
"We gotta board up the door." He explained.
"After we get the rest of the ponies out, sure." He shrugged (I think.) and we split up. Big Mac on first floor, I was on second, and so on. After an hour of searching, we only found ten ponies. We put them outside, and Big Mac got to work boarding it up. Everything was quite, but a little too quite. We didn't waste time by not enjoying it though. We ended up having a joke contest, which turned into a yo-mamma battle with Me and Shadow, versus Raven and Dylan in the bar area. Although Big Mac didn't understand, and thought it was offensive, we still had fun. Eventually, we got bored, and started to talk about the situation.
"So, we can't leave Manehattan. To leave, we either have to be raped," I used my hooves to do air quotes," Or find the eight keys."
"Well, we do know he was serious." Raven spoke up. He sloshed his drink of apple cider around.
"Alright, so we look for eight keys?" Everypony nodded.
"But wait. Don't we need, like, a map or something?" Sophie asked. No sooner had she said the words than a map popped out of thin air, and landed in her lap.
Calyptico. I thought.
She handed me that map and I looked at it. They keys were spread far apart.
"Well I think-" I paused.
*BANG*
"Oh buck me. I think they found us!" Bass said.
"Hurry up and get ready! No matter what it is, we will leave and go look for the keys."
"What do we do with them once we found them though?" Raven asked.
"I think it will have something to do with a door." Dylan replied. We all got up and trotted over to the lobby and looked out the window. Sure enough, they were going to try to break in. A couple of stallions looked in though, and saw us.
"Oh, PLEASE don't say they saw us!"
*BANG!*
Too late.
They started bucking the door, trying to open it.
"To the stairs!" I yelled and we galloped. The elevators were out of service. I made sure that everypony else got in and started going up before looking back. The stallions of Manehattan broke the door down, and immediately galloped towards me. I slammed the door shut and followed.

**************************************************************************************************************

Calyptico rubbed his hands and laughed maniacally.
"They are sooooo going to get it now!" He said to himself as he watched Faint through his crystal ball. This was too easy though. He had to make it harder for them.
"Bingo! Use their soul mate against them!" He snapped his fingers and watched clones of the ones that they loved enter the fray.Luna, Fluttershy, Derpy, Sunset, Ms. Cheerilee, and Carrot Top's clones materialized and galloped with the rest of the stallions.
Yes, the clones were stallions too.

**************************************************************************************************************

We reached the top of the stairs and busted through the door to the roof. The stallions weren't far behind. Bass was the last one up and he locked the door behind him. We all watched the door and backed up slowly as they broke through.
*BOOM*
Dust swirled as the door hit the ground. My eyes widened in shock as... as Luna... turned into a stallion...trotted into view. Then Fluttershy, Derpy, Sunset, Ms. Cheerilee, and Carrot Top. They were all stallions. Suddenly, they charged forward at us.
"Jump!" I yelled.
"What, and leave you? NO WAY!" Bass yelled back. I didn't give them a choice though. I knew they would be alright. They would land in the pool five stories down. This pool though, was filled with water, so they would hopefully be fine.
"Don't worry about me!" I pushed them off the side one by one. Bass tried to hang on. He failed. Big Mac simply jumped off.
I turned to face the charging stallions and closed my eyes.
Well, this is going to hurt like a bitch. I felt Luna pounce on me. I didn't know if I should run or not. I decided to try and run. I pushed her/him off of me. There were to many though. I couldn't move. I felt myself being put into position...muzzle near the floor...behind in the air. I twisted and shouted and screamed.
"NO! FAINT!"I heard Shadow call. I heard a small boom. I closed my eyes again....the Luna stallion was about to mount me from behind... when a shadow shot into him. Not Shadow Breeze himself, but a regular, black shadow. It was almost sunset by now too.
"Drop. Him. Now." I heard Shadow say. His voice was changed though. It sounded more cold and powerful than usual. I craned my neck to see him. He looked normal, but he had a black line around him. Like a shield. He now also had gray zebra stripes, and his eyes were hazelnut brown.
The stallions advanced on him. He still was a mare though, and his voice wasn't all that threatening. It was more, sexy, i guess you could say.
Why did I just think that?
Now they full-on charged him. He smirked. Even the Luna/Stallion thing charged. He jumped at them. He came to the first one and upper-cutted him. He landed a few feet away, knocked out. The next one he had to dodged his slow punch and he jabbed him with his right hoof, right in the jaw.
Blood poured from the poor stallion as Shadow punched him in the gut and elbowed him to the side. After this, the next stallion received a kick to the balls, and Shadow grabbed his neck, pulled him over his body, and landed on him. He choked him until he passed out.
The stallions finally figured out this was one tough mare, so they had to go all at once. Shadow stood on his hind legs, crossed his hooves over his chest, and summon a black ball. He threw it at them, and it detonated on impact. It flung stallions everywhere, a couple even fell off the roof. I looked around.

No more stallions awake.
Shadow crossed over to me and held his hoof out. I took it, and let him help me up. I noticed that it was now really dark outside.
"Calyptico said no magic, and I don't know if these new special powers count." He said. I smiled.
"Thanks Shadow. If you hadn't come... I don't even want to think about it."
"No problem. Seeing that you could've been raped... I just got pissed off and wanted to save you. Then that happened."
"How did you get up here so fast?"
"Teleported, I guess."
"The others?"
"I told them to wait for us." He smiled again, but fainted. This time, I think he was too tired. I sighed and threw him off into the pool. I jumped after him. It was a short freefall, and then I landed in the cool water.
"Faint! You're okay!" I was greeted with cheers and hoorays and 'I'm so glad', etc.
"Really though guys, it was Shadow. He did all the work!" I used a hoof and pointed at him. He was sleeping on the ground.
"Okay, what time is it?"
"It's almost midnight." Bass said. I sighed.
"Well, we are so close."
I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of Princess Celestia.
"Faint. Wake up." I bolted upright with my hooves raised.
"It is over. We have caught this, Calyptico character, and arrested him. You are now okay to go home and rest." I smiled adn went into the awaiting chariot. The others were already there. Luna was there too. Celestia then got in, and we made our way back to Ponyville.
What a day.... I thought as I went back to my slumber.

I swear I'm not crazy! Just because I have voices in my head...

Well, here is the next part in the saga! Chapter 8: The Recovery. Enjoy!

I was in a dimly lit room...
There was only one other pony here...
it was a stallion...
He slowly approached me...
He trotted around to my backside...
My tail was lifted up...
My head was pushed down...
Cold, hard hooves were on my back...
His hot breath on my neck...
He pushed himself inside me...
I tried to scream, but no sounds made it out of my mouth...
He began to move back and forth...
Tears flowed down my cheeks...
I was helpless...
I looked back at the stallion...
I gasped in my head at what I saw...
I saw...
Celestia
This Dream..This...
Nightmare.
It kept coming back. Every night I had the same nightmare. It replayed over and over again. I could tell what was happening with my eyes closed in the nightmare. It was burned into my memory. I would never forget it. I couldn't ever forget it.
***************************************************************************************
Ponyville Hospital. 5 days after Manehattan incident.

"Do you think he will be alright?" I heard a familiar voice.
Fluttershy.
My eyelids fluttered, and I opened them slightly. I saw a white hospital room. All my friends were there, even some ponies who I didn't know where my friends. There was Bass, Shadow, Big Mac, and The Mane six. Then there was Celestia and Luna, who weren't crying but did have somewhat sad faces. Fluttershy was crying, but she was also talking to a doctor. He was a red earth pony with a white/red mane.
"I-I don't know, Fluttershy. He may only be in a coma, or he may have went into shock and had a heart attack which leads to..." She looked at him, then back to me. She started sobbing harder than ever. Shadow went to comfort her.
"Don't worry Fluttershy," He said through sobs, "I'm-I'm sure he'll be alright." He patted her back. She hugged him and cried into his shoulder. He was sad, but he smiled.

I smiled back on the inside and closed my eyes again.

I was chained, hanging up on a wall.
I looked around. This time, it was pitch black.
I heard maniacal laughter.
Bright lights suddenly turned on.
I blinked a few times and saw Pinkie Pie standing right in front of me.
"Oh, you're finally awake?" She asked. Then she chuckled.
"Good, now the fun can begin!" She bounced away from me to a dish platter.
I looked around again to find that I was in Pinkie's room.
I tried to talk, but no sounds were made.
Pinkie hopped back to me with a platter of cupcakes in hand.
"Here, try one! It's my new recipe!" She said as she stuffed it into my mouth.
It had a Rainbow of flavors.
The next one Sparkled in my mouth.
A yellow one without much flavor.
An orange one that tasted like Apples.
The last one had a.. Marshmallow-like taste and texture.
"Did you like them? I really hope you did. I took a LONG time making those!" She smiled.
The it hit me.
I spat everything out AND threw up.
"Aww, you don't like them." Her ears flopped down. The they perked up, and she smiled evilly.

"I guess that I just have to make a Blue-Rasberry cupcake." Then she picked up a knife.

I woke up with a start again. It was now sunset. I checked and saw that now Fluttershy, Bass, Shadow, Raven, Sophie, and Dylan were here. They weren't crying this time, but instead just looking at me. I blinked and Bass stood up. He walked over to my hopsital bed and stared at me intentivley. I looked back at him.
"Faint. Get up." He said. I just stared at him with a 'WTF?' face.
"I said, get up." Now everypony else looked at him like he was crazy. I chuckled and slowly got up.What happened next scared the crap out of me. Now, everybody knows that Fluttershy is a very calm and shy pony right? Well, that didn't stop her from pouncing onto me while I tried to get up.
"OMYGOSH!OMYGOSH!OMYGOSH!OMYGOSH!OMYGOSH!OMYGOSH! You're alive!" Then she hugged me. Yet, it was one of those suffocating hugs.
"Fluttershy...Can't...Breathe...." I said.
"Oh, sorry." She blushed and got off of me.
"Thanks for caring, but, damn. That was just a tad too much affection." I smiled at her.
"Sorry..." She whispered. I sighed.
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, I need to get out of here. I'm hungry as hell." I said getting up again. Bass helped me get steadied as Flutter went to go rejoin Shadow.
"Wait, wait, wait. What's goin' on between you two?" I leaned in closer. "Are you two together now?" Shadow rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Faint. It did happen while you were asleep. Now, just to let you know. Princess Celestia said that she had a house in Canterlot for you, but if you didn't want to live there, you could live in Ponyville at your other house. Bass know where that both are, since he will be living with you and he has been shown them already. Now, me and Flutter have to go. See you guys later!" He called over his back as he left.
I looked at Bass, who shrugged.
"You know, it's harder than it looks," He said.
"What?" I was confused.
"Shrugging, as a pony. Tell ya later though. Right now, we gotta get to...which house?" I thought for a second.
"Ponyville one. I will be moving into the Canterlot one tomorrow. You can come, if you so wish." I told him. No sooner had I finished than we walked out the door of the hospital. We started trotting down a path. After about ten minutes or so of slow moving, we made it. He pulled the keys out of his pocket (How the hell do you do that without clothes? Whatever, I'll continue.) and opened the door.
The inside smelled like... Well, i couldn't put my hoof on it. It had really modern furniture. I didn't care though, seeing how I was hungry and tired. My stomach growled at me.
"Well, I'll go grab you something to eat. Your room is upstairs to the left, second door. Can't miss it." He left towards the kitchen, I guess. I headed towards where he said my room was,and went inside. It was a plain dark blue room, with stairs and a moon painted on the ceiling. I walked myself over to my bed, which had a night sky with stars all over. I chuckled and took my room in more.
There was a nightstand next to the bed, with two drawers and a lamp. A blue lamp. That was actually about it, except for the closet and even darker blue rug. Then, Bass walked in with a plate with a blue-rose and jam sandwich.

"That's the best I could do for cooking," He said with a smirk. I took the plate, gave a quite thanks, and sat down on my bed. I starting eating, but finished just as fast as I had started. I set the plate down, and fell asleep.

(Shadow Breeze's POV)
I walked up to Flutter's cottage and opened the door for her. She thanked me as she passed. I yawned and closed the door behind me.
"I'm going straight to bed," I told her as I went up the stairs to her room. I heard her yawn too, right behind me.
"I will be right up, I just have to turn off the lights." She said to me.
I hopped into the covers. Fluttershy came in, turned off the light, and slipped quietly under the blanket.
"G'night, Flutter." I said.
"Good night Shadow," She murmured. I heard her quite breaths, and closed my eyes. It was so hard not to just 'Squee' everywhere right now. I mean,

I AM SLEEPING NEXT TO FLUTTERSHY! IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE! I fist pumped in my head and went to sleep.

(Faint's Nightmare)
"Hey there, Faint. What'cha doin'?" Rainbow Dash asked as she hovered above me.
"Nothin' just trying to exercise really." I replied.
She looked at me, but instead of saying something she just wing-shrugged and took off.
I stared for a second, then headed toward her house.
I needed something to do today anyway.
I landed right outside of her house.
"Hey Rainbow, you home?" I called.
No answer, so I just trotted in.
"I'm inside right now," I called again.
Again, nothing.
I walked around, just taking it all in, when I heard a voice right behind me.
"Hey there big boy."
I turned around. She was right there.
"Mamma needs some lovin'," She said.
"Wha?" She pounced at me.
I couldn't move again.
Why is this a re-accruing thing?
The first thing she did was go straight for my...my stallionhood.
"Don't worry, I don't bite. Unless you want me to,"
She used me.
Rainbow Dash used me for her own...fun.

WHY ME?! I screamed.

"FAINT!" Bass yelled, shaking me.
"WHAT?!" I yelled back.
"Dude! You just screamed, 'Why me?!" Loud enough for all of Equestria to hear! I thought something was wrong!"
"Oh." That's all I could say, was 'Oh.' (Weird Al Yankovich quote right there. A cookie to anypony who knows where it's from!)
"Yea. You ok?"
"Y-yeah... I guess..."He backed up and opened my (of course,) blue curtains. The early sun rays spilled into my room.
"Well, I guess it's moving time for me." I stated to nobody in particular.
"Alright. Your room in Canterlot is pretty much the same as here, only WAY bigger. Also, no furniture because you have, oh I don't know, about a million bits from the princesses to spend on anything you need."
" NO WAY!" I said, jumping into the air, " Wait, what about you?" I asked, facing him.
"Oh, I got the same. So did the other bronies."
"So they didn't get in any trouble?"
"Of course not." He said and left. I sighed and went downstairs. I headed straight out the door, towards the 'Ponyville Express'. On my way there though, I was stopped by Pinkie Pie.
"Hey! Faint, right? Well, I never got to throw you a party, so it's today! Right now! Come on!" I rolled my eyes as she grabbed my tail with her mouth and sped off towards Sugar Cube Corner. We were there in a matter of seconds.
"Alright, you wait here until I tell you to come in, okay?" She said as she dropped me off in the backyard.
"Okay." I replied. After what seemed like hours, (it was only 20 minutes,) Pinkie told me to come in through the front. I cautiously went inside.
"SURPRISE!" About ten or twenty ponies yelled at the same time. I jumped back a bit, but sighed again. ALL of my friends were here, even the princesses. Then Bass walked up to me laughing.
"Dude, you almost pissed yourself! Your face was PRICELESS!" He doubled over laughing. I kicked him and went over to the punch, refusing to eat any cupcakes. It was a apple-like flavor, but tasted kinda like liquor. I arched one eyebrow at it when Luna came up behind me.
"So..um..how is everything going?" She asked.
It's almost kinda like she was shy around me. I thought.
"Fine. I was about to move into my Canterlot house and decorate it." I winked at her. She blushed.
D'AWWWWW!
"Well, that sounds great." She said as she got some punch.
Actually, I don't think this is punch...
"Hey Pinkie!"
"Yes?" She was right behind me.
"Ah! Oh. What is this?" I pointed to the bowl of 'Punch'.
"Oh, it's something AJ made. You should ask her!" Then she left and started dancing. I shook my head and trotted over to AppleJack, who was standing near Twilight.
"Hey Applejack. What is this stuff?" I mentioned at my cup.
"That's my uncle's recipe. He calls it, 'AppleJack Daniel's. He named it after me, and put his son's name in there too."
"Well then. Anyway, it tastes awesome."
We partied hard for the next two hours. Turns out, the 'AppleJack Daniel's' was a liquor. It just made us be way more crazy, even Celestia! When the party had died out, everypony left. The princesses were about to leave, but Luna came over to me.
"Do you want an escort? To your house in Canterlot?" She asked, turning her head ever-so slightly away from me.
"Sure!" She led me to her Night Carriage and we got in. The fly to Canterlot wasn't long, and I was dropped off right in front of my house.
"Bye Luna!" I called back to her. She blushed, (again!) and took off. I still had another five hours before sunset, so I set off to buy things for my new house. Well, I did look around first. It was almost exactly the same as the one in Ponyville, just three times as big.

==============================================================
4 Hours later, Faint;s Canterlot House.

It was done! Finally done! I had stocked the kitchen and filled the house with furniture! Most of it was either black or blue. There were rugs, couches, loveseats, paintings, and more! It was so worth it. I won't go into detail, because right now, I was exhausted from running around. I did eat, so now, I'm going to go to bed. I smiled. I went up to my room, flopped on my bed, and went right to sleep.

I woke up again when the sun was shining into my room.
Celestia, do you do this to torture me? I chuckled at my own stupid joke.
Today's Agenda:
1).....Whatever, I'll just go with the flow! I jumped up out of bed and stretched my wings and legs. I then strecthed out my back by leaning close to the floor. I heard a POP and sighed.
"Ah, that feels good." I popped my neck and went downstairs.
I'm gonna yell.
"I HAVE MY OWN FUCKING HOUSE! HELL YEA!" I pelvic thrusted a few times, then went into the kitchen. I made myself a simple breakfast, Flower and jam sandwich, plus some 'Sweet Apple Acres Apple Juice'. After gulping my food down, I left. I also made sure to lock the door behind me, and put my keys away. I did a double-take.
How in the HELL did I just do that? I pulled my keys out of my..my... body pockets? I didn't have any clothes on, but whatever. I wing-shrugged and took off into the air. I barely felt a wind that went into my ear.

You Want to do something evil.... I was high above Canterlot when I heard this whisper. It was powerful, yet quite.
Say what now? I looked around, dumbfounded.
You know that you want to cause some chaos...
Hey there, whoever you are, I'm not a bad guy. Now, who the hell are you? I thought, now annoyed.
A pony of your caliber can cause real damage...
Now you listen to me! I don't even care who you are anymore, just GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
.......
I felt something leave me... It was a weird feeling.
That was weird, but thank Celestia it left. Then I felt that same presence come back. This time though, it hurt. My wings locked up, and I started falling down back to the ground. At very high speeds.
Agree to what I say, or you will perish! I regained control of my wings just before impact and landed.
Never! I won't do anything evil!
As you wish. Be warned: I am coming for you... I once again felt the presence leave.
"Whew," I sighed. Suddenly, it became very cold. I looked around. I was in the forest near Canterlot, in a small clearing. Then it got dark.
"Alright, what's going on? Is this some kind of prank?" I asked. No answer.
"I shall unlock your true potential!" I heard that same voice, but it was screaming. I truned around to see.. it was a cloud of darkness, heading straight for me.
The Nightmare.
"HOLY SHIIII-" I was cut off as The Nightmare cloud-thing penetrated into my head. The whole cloud was soon sucked into my body, and I couldn't do anyhing to stop it. The pain I felt was intense, as though I broke all my bones. (Again.) I screamed and writhed on the ground in pain. My eyes watered. Then all the pain went away instantly.
My mane, tale, and hooves were suddenly set on fire. I brought my fore hooves up to my face to examine them. They had a grey fiery aura. My mane and tale were now black and grey flames. Panic took over me, and I jumped up and started to gallop. I stopped at a nearby lake not five minutes later. I bent down to look at my reflection. I-I looked evil. I was taller, my wings were bigger, and instead of my usual blue/black coat, mane, and tail, everything had changed to be black and grey.
My eyes were now grey and black too, but they also resembled dragon eyes.

I could feel the strength flowing inside me. I went to turn back, but I couldn't move. My body changed again, but only minor this time. I was staring at the water, unable to move, the whole time I changed. Now, I looked feminine, but still powerful.
Now, I take over. You have had your fun. It's my turn. Don't try to fight back. I now have full control!
Then I- no, SHE took off.
Wait, if my appearance changed, does that mean...AM I A MARE NOW? NOT AGAIN!
SILENCE! Nightmare snapped. I tried to snap back, but I couldn't talk, even inside my head.
Nightmare hovered over Canterlot, looking down and shaking her head.
"Too bad they never stood a chance!" She stated. She pulled her head up, inhaling deeply, then came back down, letting it all go.
What I now saw shocked and scared the hell out of me. I-She was breathing fire! She was moving her head around to burn everything in sight. Soon, she had to fly around to burn more. It wasn't like she could use it forever. She had to stop and take another breath every so on. I couldn't do anything. I was useless, in my own body!
"Stop right there Faint!" Nightmare stopped with the fire breath and turned to Celestia, who was flying with her guards. Luna was also coming, with her night guards.
"Ha! My dear Celestia, you are too late!" Celestia gasped.
"No! It cannot be! You couldn't have taken over him!" She glared at Nightmare, who just gave a snort of fire.
"Oh, but I did. Now it's time for my revenge!" She lunged at Celestia in a streak of fire, who stood frozen in shock and horror. Nightmare's hoof connected with Celestia's jaw, It was an instant knock-out and left a burn mark. It happened too fast for her guards to do anything. Now, seeing their princess fall, two took off to save her, the other four closing in on Nightmare. She tried to fight them off. A few minutes later, I saw my brony friends.
No! Stay away!
They charged me, apparently knowing or guessing what's going on. Bass was on the ground though. He seemed to be... waiting? Sophie was with him. Near them...there was something else. It was a humanio-dragon-thingy. It took off, straight towards me-Nightmare. In the sky already, was Shadow. In his shadow armor. He tackled Nightmare, who didn't respond quick enough. Then Shadow started to go straight down. The impact was almost as loud at the sonic rainboom. Nightmare was dazed, but got right back up easily. Shadow stumbled, but didn't fall. Nightmare turned to him.
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU INCOMPETENT BEING!" Then she charged him. She was stopped by the human-dragon thing landing right in front of her, dodging to the side and slapping Nightmare on the side. It hurt not only her, but me too! Then she got back up. Again. She shot him a death glare and smirked.
"You think that you can take me on, don't you?" She said, not loud. "Then..LET'S SEE YOU TAKE ON THIS!" Then she shot off at him, like she did with Celestia. She was so fast, it was almost like teleporting. She slammed into him, grabbed him, spun around and launched him with a kick at, now almost here, Sophie and Bass. They dodged and keep running towards us. Nightmare went into the air, only a few feet from the ground and started to fly towards them, inhaling deeply. Shadow was up by now, and took chase.
"Faint! Stop this right now dammit!" He called.
I wish I could. He tackled Nightmare to the ground again, but caught a face full of fire.
I, being pissed off like nobody knows, screamed in anger.
NIGHTMARE! I SWEAR TO CELESTIA I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU! Then I concentrated, trying to get my body back. It was a struggle.
You are a pitiful fool! She shrieked as I slowly regained control.
NO! STOP THIS MADNESS! I AM THE NIGHTMARE, MOST FEARED CREATURE IN EQUESTRIA! Bass was now getting closer to us. He was right in front of Nightmare quickly, and seized the chance to grab her. Nightmare, being fully distracted with the fight within, didn't notice.
It seems that I'm just better than you though. I smirked. I knew it wasn't over, seeing as how I had not got control back. She started to get stronger, pushing me back. She now realized that Bass was holding her by one of the wings in his left hoof. He raised his other hoof, but looked at Nightmare and stopped.
"I can't do it! I can not hit a mare!"
"You-You have to! End...End it now!"
Please, Bass looked at Nightmare, who was now weakened.
"Sorry..." He whispered.
Then everything went black for me.
I snapped back into focus and reality when I heard Nightmare screaming.
"NO! Please! No! I can change!"
"Yeah right! Like we should believe you!" Rainbow Dash?
"Yeah! Bye bye, Nightmare!" Pinkie Pie? What?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I looked through Nightmare's eyes and saw the mane six, using the Elements of Harmony. The rainbow came down, and crashed into us-Me-Nightmare-thing and I felt Nightmare's presence vanish.
"TAKE THAT YOU STUPID BITCH!" I heard Shadow yell.
"Suck on those while you're in prison!" Bass, of course. When I was in full control of my body I groaned.
"Argh! You could tell somepony that getting hit by that hurts like hell!" I yelled.
"Faint! You're back! What in Sam hell took you so long?" Bass asked.
"Well, when an evil entity possesses your body, you tend to not be able to control what your doing, so, yeah." I muttered. Then I was surrounded by my friends, who all asked questions. It's a good thing I was back to my normal form now.
"What happened?"
"You were possessed?"
"Ah reckon an explanation is in order!"
"Darling you simply must tell what was going on?"
"Dude, that fire stuff you did was awesome!"
"I wanna throw a party to celebrate!"
"How in the hell did you get to be so damn strong?"
"Dude, she turned you into a chick. If you weren't evil or my best friend, I woulda done you."
"Are you feeling okay?"
"You were hard as hell to take down!"
"Ahem." We all turned to see Celestia and Luna entering.
"Princess! I'm so sorry for what happened. I-" She held up a hoof to silence me.
"Right now, we are going to head to the dining room for lunch," She pointed a hoof to another exit, " Where you will explain everything that you know."
No one spoke, but just trotted to where Celestia had pointed.
I spent the next hour eating and explaining what had happened.
"Well, it seems that you are better now," Twilight said.
"Yea, but even still. I have to get more practice with my powers."
[Well, it seems that you are doing awfully fine after all that.] Said a cool, calm, and undoubtedly smart voice.
{Yeah, you are.} This one was more powerful, aggressive, and uncontrolled.
I have to agree with you both. (Lemme tell you this, Since Nightmare has left Faint's head, this is a new voice!) The last voice was wise, yet dangerous. Like a father, almost.
So, who are you guys, and why are you in my head?
[I am Night.]
{Blaze.}
Rage.
So, more talking voices in my head now? Great! I thought sarcastically.
Yes and no. We are the different parts of your consciousness. You are all of us in one, and we represent a certain part. Blaze is strong, trust me. Yet he is very uncontrolled, violent, and can be dangerous to all. Night is not as strong as Blaze, but he is smarter and calmer. He will try to avoid violence. Lastly, I am very calm, yet I will be dangerous if need be. Technically, we are not in your head, we are just part of it, so you can see us. Turn around.
I made sure everypony was busy with small talk, then turned my head. I saw three very different looking ponies behind me.
A fiery red one with yellow zebra stripes was probably Blaze. He had blood red dragon eyes, and a red/orange mane and tale.
The small blue one, with a lighter shade of blue stripes, was most likely Night. His eyes were calming blue and looked like that of a lizard, while his mane and tale were also light blue/dark blue.
The last one was purple with a lighter shade of purple stripes. His eyes were white, as if he was blind. They were also normal pony eyes. His mane and tale were a- yep, you guessed it. Combination of light purple and dark purple. (See my blog if you want pictures.)
How come they can't see you? I asked, nodding my head towards my friends.
[Because we are a part of your mind, not theirs.]
I think this might help some who are wondering how we are communicating. I am talking to them, but with my mind. They answer me with their mouths. Now, when they are inside my head, they also use their minds to talk. Pretty simple.
So, you guys can appear outside my head whenever you want?
{Yep. It's our choice.}
Alright, I can live with that. One thing. Promise me, when I talk to somepony else you guys either stay quite, or talk to me when you are inside my head. Got it?
[Sure.]
{Okay.}
Understood.
Alright, I'm going to wrap this up, then I'm goin' to sleep.
I focused back to the ponies behind me.
"Listen, guys. I am really tired, and it's getting late." I said as I got up.
"We have an extra bed in Luna's room, if you wish." Celestia said.
"Alright, that's cool. Can you lead the way Luna?" I was already in the door frame, waiting for her.
"Sure. Let us be off then. Good night, everypony." She got up and trotted out the door.
"Good night guys." I called over my shoulder. I heard 'good night's being said as we trotted to Luna's room. Once we reached it, she opened the door. We went in and I went to the bed on the other side of the room from Luna.
"Good night Faint." She said as she went out to the balcony to raise the moon.
"G'night, Luna..." Then I trailed off to sleep after such a long day.

So, what did ya think? I liked it. Please though, really. Go check out my blog for pictures. It does contain small spoilers, but nothing to really ruin it. I am going to sleep now, so, good night to all!

A Moonlit Dark Night

"C'mon, my little pony, wake up.~"

I slowly opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the darkness of the room. I jumped back, and pressed myself against the wall of the room while still on my bed. A smiling princess Luna stood in front of my bed, trying not to laugh.

"What do you- OH! Luna! Good...uh...morning?"

"No, it is still night. I just woke you up, because I wanted to walk to you."

"About what?"

[I bet it's something very private and important...]

{Oh yeah, it is! Wink wink, nudge nudge.}

Ha, I have to agree with Blaze on this one, if you catch my drift.

What are you guys even talking about? Seriously...

"Well...about our relationship."

[Woah woah woah! Stop the train, what's she just say?]

"Oh...Um...What, uh, what about it? I mean, we're good, uh, friends and all, right?"

"Yes, but that is exactly the problem, Faint. I wanted to be...More than..Oh sweet Celestia, this is embarrassing..." I saw Luna's face turn a purplish color, which I deduced meant she was blushing.

"I see...Why would you want that, princess?"

{Dude! Don't question it! Remember my motto: Fuck first and ask questions later!}

[Blaze! Watch your language!]

{Dude, we're old enough to cuss. Besides, it's not like 'mommy' is around anymore!}

[...Touche.]

"Well...You're like me in so many ways...You're kinda socially awkward, ponies don't tend to accept you as easily as others, you're very smart, you like dark colors...I could go on and on." Now I felt my cheeks start to burn, but with my black fur, she couldn't see my blushing cheeks.

"Why...Thank you, princess. I...I think I'd like that too, considering it..."

"So is that a yes?"

I nodded, and she made the most adorable squee!~ sound I've ever heard, one that could compare to Fluttershy's squee! She also dived into my bed and glomped me, with more strength than Flutters. I smiled as she snuggled up against me as we laid on the suddenly most comfortable bed in Equestria. As the night went on, I felt my eyelids start to droop, as Luna continuously watched over the sky from our place on the bed. I gave her a small kiss on the cheek, and passed out into a deep sleep, filled with dreams of my past, and my future.

"...And I was all like, I love you, Faint, and he was all like 'oh really? I love you too!' and then we kissed and-"

"Uhn.....Ugh..." I groaned, waking up for the third time in a span of twelve hours.

"Oh! Gotta go, 'Tia! He's waking up!" I heard hoofsteps approaching me, and I turned my head to look for the source.

[Dude...I'm still tired...Go back to sleep...]

{I agree with Night on this one...Just go back to sleep...}

Man, you two really need to pony up! Don't forget, you can just go to sleep anyway. Faint doesn't need to be asleep for that.

{Oh. Right.}

[G'night then!]

"Faint? Faaaaaiiiinnnt?~ Wake up, Faint.~" I opened my tired eyes as much as I could, to see Luna looking at me with bedroom eyes as she trotted over to me.

"Hey...Luna...*yawn* How's it...Uh...Going?" She giggled, and kissed my cheek.

"Time to get up, silly. You've got a long day ahead of you!"

"But...why? I just wanna...*yawn* Sleep."

"Well, you have to talk about the events during the Manehattan incident, and talk about that one creature you said you saw...Calyptico, I think you said his name was. We need to know as much as you can remember. That way, we can take it down, and prevent something like this from ever happening again."

"Ooooooooooooohh....Okaaaaay..." I groaned as I pulled the covers off of me.

Then Luna immediately began to look depressed.

"What? What is it? My mane messed up? That's nothing...I can fix-" I was cut off, as Luna brought a mirror over with her magic. Upon looking into said mirror, I saw what has caused all the hubbub. My wings were gone, and my mane changed. It was in a rainbow-dash style, but much shorter. I could feel my eyes widening in horror, my jaw dropped, and my heart began to race.

"L-L-Lu-Luna? Wh-What happened to me?!"

I have no idea!But it's bad!

I began to panic, and I began to frantically move around the room. I couldn't really even begin to comprehend what could've happened during the night...and then I pieced it together.

Calyptico had been at work.

"Okay, okay, Luna, this had to be Calyptico's doing...I mean, who else would do such a thing, right?" I paid no attention to Luna though, and how she said nothing, as I began to curse Calyptico using my colorful vocabulary.

"Faint...I'm...Sorry."

"-Kill him as soon as I-Wait, what?" Luna interrupted my thought process, and I turned towards her. "You're sorry? for what? You didn't-"

"I did. Well, Me and 'Tia did. We...we thought that since you would be giving your speech in Ponyville, you should look more like them...we also figured it would make them want to listen to you more, if you didn't look so much like royalty. We do know that they saw you when you were an Alicorn, but even still. This appearance is also accompanied by a small lie...you are now my protege, much like Dusk Shine is to Celestia."

"Whoa..Okay, I understand, but- Wait a second, who is Dusk Shine? What happened to Twilight Sparkle being Celestia's star pupil?" Luna stared at me for a second, seemingly confused. She thought about it for a second, then finally started to speak, while I became VERY confused.

"Who is 'Twilight Sparkle'? I do not remember that name...Maybe she was someone you know, but she or he is not the pupil of 'Tia. Look, if you haven't met Dusk, you will. When we go to Ponyville, you will give your speech about the events of the Manehattan incident, talk about how we're going to try our best to prevent it, and tell the ponies not to worry. then, we shall go to the Ponyville library, and discuss with Dusk Shine about the finer details of the Manehattan incident."

"A-Alright...I still...Ah, nevermind. Let's just...Get this over with." I busted open the doors of Luna's room with a powerful buck, and accidentally sent two of her personal guards flying. "Oh! Sorry."

"Faint, please do try to be more careful! We need ponies who can help us in bad situations."

"Yeah yeah, okay." I walked down the hall, past Celestia's room, and stopped.

This isn't me! This is NOT how I exit a building! At least, not the castle.

Agreed.

I smirked, turned tail, and ran back down the hall, past Luna and a barely awake Celestia. I turned into Luna's room, ran as fast as I could, and jumped off the balcony.

"Faint!" I heard Celestia and Luna shout my name at the same time, as I plummeted to the ground. At the last second, I teleported to the front of the castle, and calmly walked down to Luna's sky chariot.

A few moments later, me and Luna were on our way to Ponyville, as I mentally prepared myself for the speech, and to have to talk about what happened in Manehattan...

Do not worry, Faint. We got this. Just stay calm, and try to remember as much as possible.

{Yeah, we got this...but I think I like sleeping all day, and will do it for this day. See ya tomorrow!}

[I'm...surprisingly agreeing with Blaze on this one! this will be like a small break for us. See you later.]

You both are just lazy...I guess I can keep us out of trouble by myself for a bit.

Hey! I'm not that stupid!....Ah, who am I kidding.

I sighed, and watched as we landed in the center of Ponyville, where a stage was set up, complete with a podium. I also saw ponies begin to gather around, until I thought that everypony in Ponyville was here. We landed behind the stage, and Luna urged me to hurry up and get myself ready. I took deep breaths, as Mayor Mare talked about what was going to be said, and introduced the Princess sisters, who introduced me.

"We, Princess Celestia and Luna, rulers of Equestria, would like to thank you all for attending this important town meeting. We, at this time, would like to introduce our guest speaker, Faint Darkness!" A loud applause started up as I walked up to the podium, wondering why Celestia gave me the last name of Darkness. I shrugged it off, and started to speak.

"hello, Ponies of Ponyville. My name is Faint...Darkness, and I am glad to be here today. I know some of you may not know me, and may have just seen me, when I was around here before. Yes, my appearance has changed, but I think this haircut looks good, no?" I smiled, as the audience chuckled.

"I am here to reassure you all, that the events that happened within the Manehattan Incident will not happen ever again, to anypony anywhere. We are going to find the one responsible, by the name of Calyptico, and make sure he cannot harm anypony else. We promise! So do not worry, you all are safe. We will make sure of that. I hope you all understand that what happened is a truly bad experience, that no pony should have to suffer through. Thank you for listening. I also hope you all have a great day, and make sure to live life to the fullest!" I ended, as the crowd cheered and applauded, and I walked offstage again, glad that that didn't take too long, and that it was over with.

I met with the princess' behind the stage again, both of them smiling warmly. Luna, though, gave me a hug and was the first to speak.

"You did great, Faint. I told you it wasn't gonna be that hard."

"I have to agree with Luna, Faint. you did very well."

"Thank you both...Now, time to go meet...Dusk Shine?" I let go of Luna, and backed up.

"Yes, it is. do you not remember him?"

"Um...No, I remember Twilight Sparkle." I saw a flash of recognition play on Celestia's face, but she played it off. Like a pro.

"I...Do not remember a 'Twilight Sparkle', but maybe she was a friend of yours from before."

"Ugh, whatever...Let's go." I started to trot towards the library, annoyed by the princess' pretending like they don't remember Twilight. Probably some prank, or something. We finally arrived at the library a couple moments later. I knocked on the door, and nearly fainted when I saw that there was a...MALE version of Twilight Sparkle, standing in front of me when the door opened. I gasped, and realized this must be Dusk Shine. I shook my head in disbelief, not able to even comprehend what I was seeing. It was...inconceivable!

"Hello! I am Dusk Shine, protege of Princess Celestia, and Element of Magic. I'm guessing that you are Faint Darkness, protege of Princess Luna?" he put out his hoof, and frowned when I couldn't shake hooves. I was still mystified. When I did finally start to speak again, my words were jumbled, and I stuttered.

"B-B-Bu-But wh-what about T-Twi-Twilight Sp-Sparkle? Wh-Where is she?"

"um...Who is Twilight Sparkle?"

"She...I...Celestia...Uh..." Then, I did what my name implied.

I Fainted.

The meeting

I am just changing it up a bit. Chapter 2: The meeting.
I woke up with a start, breathing heavily, after who knows how long. I knew I had died. I looked around and studied my surroundings. I can see this:
Everything is white.
I have a major headache.
It's really bright here.
No one else is around.
I shook my head and also found out I was floating. When did that happen? Suddenly, a booming voice rang throughout the space of nothing-ness.
"You are awake after your death, young one." I looked again, but still, no one was there.
"Do not fret. You have lived a fulfilling life. It was a life of good, not evil. I have decided that for this life of good deeds, you have earned a reward."
"......" I kept myself silent.
"Your reward. You are allowed to travel to any realm that you wish. The only exception is that you cannot return to earth."
I thought for a moment.
"Any realm I wish?" I asked.
"Yes. It can be real, or fiction. I can be just something you have made up in your past, or something I have made."
I kinda already knew were I would want to go.
"God....Can...Can I go to the realm of....Of My Little Pony? On Equestria?"
"You shall be there. You will have the appearance of which you have thought of before. Now close your eyes, Jay. You will wake up in the realm of your dreams." I did as I was told. I closed my eyes, and opened them again. The next thing I knew, I was falling.
