Sorry for the long ass wait life is a bitch.

Silent Party

Twilight sighed as she held Kuroko after a long winded explanation as she cooked the two some red beans, rice and sausage. The two were now on her bed while Kuroko was in thought.

"Kuro. Please say something, I'm going crazy here." Twilight whimpered as the girl in her arms sighed.

"I'm still upset with you Twi. But I can understand why you did it. So you're not even from the United States at all and were a princess of your country. I can understand wanting to escape after something like that. Why didn't you tell me?" She was hurt and it pained Twilight to know she was the cause of it as she held her tighter.

"I'm sorry. I was just so afraid that something like this would happen. They want me back but-

"WELL TO BAD! You belong here with me not in some palace in the middle of no where." Kuroko turned in her girlfriends arms with a determined look on her face that surprised Twilight.

"I don't care who they are. This is your home not there, if your parents are so willing to just let you become a slave at such a young age then they don't deserve you! You belong here with me and all our friends. I won't let them take you away from me." She growled as Twilight slammed her lips into her getting a surprised yelp from her.

" I love you, you know that right?" Twilight smiled pulling back as the younger girl blushed and smiled.

" I know. C-Can you say that again?" She mumbled blushing harder as Twilight smiled.

"Why don't I show you." Kuroko's eyes widened as she felt Twilight's lips on hers making her smile into the kiss before the older girls hands came into play making her moan her name.

"Tell me what you want Kuro. Tell-" They both heard a knock at the door making them freeze while Kuroko was promising death to whoever it was as Twilight sighed and headed for the door. Kuroko watched wide eyed as Twilight licked her fingers clean making the younger girl start to pant as she opened the door to find Misaka smiling at the two with no clue on what was going on.

" Hey guys I was wondering if you found anything out on Febrie?" She asked as Kuroko's eye twitched.

"Sissy I told you we would look into it in the morning!" Kuroko yelled frustrated at her friend for ruining the moment.

"Who's Febrie?" Twilight asked as Kuroko sighed knowing that there was no chance now that the subject was out.

" It's the little girl that your friend AJ was with. Her name is Febrie and she knows Misaka somehow." Kuroko sighed fixing her clothes as she got out of the bed.

"Why is it that you're at the center of all the things that go on around here almost as much as Touma and myself?" Twilight asked with a smirk as the electromaster huffed.

"It's not like I go looking for it! By the way Twi did you meet up with your friend today?" She asked as Twilight's face darkened.

"Yeah I did. She wants to take me back home." She said giving a brief rundown on what happened as Misaka growled.

"No way! She'll have to go through me if she wants that to happen." The girl growled making the other two smile and nod.

"Thanks Misaka. Hey are you hungry?" Twilight asked as the girl smiled as her stomach rumbled.

"Yeah I could eat. Thanks for having me over." She said as Kuroko sighed.

"Sure not like we were in the middle of something." She mumbled and shivered as Twilight nibbled on the side of her neck.

"We'll have to take a raincheck for next time. I love you Kuro." Twilight whispered to her making the girl smile as she watched the older girl serve a bowl to their friend.

'I waited this long a few more weeks or months won't make any difference.' She thought while heading over to set up the table.

*That morning*

"So Twi what are you going to be doing today?" Misaka asked as she took a drink of her strawberry oolong while Twilight sipped her curry. The two girls were in the lunch room enjoying their day so far.

"I need to talk to Febrie and see how she knows you. Also I wanted to talk to AJ. I need to let her know that I'm not going anywhere. This is my home and I'm not going anywhere. She and the rest of my friends and family need to know that and there's no changing my mind on it." She said getting a smile from Misaka.

"You want me to come to? In case she tries something?" Misaka asked as Twilight smiled and shook her head.

"Nah. I'll be fine if she tries anything I'll just zap her or something." The two laughed as they finished their meal just as the bell rang to back for class.

*That afternoon*

Kuroko sighed as she, Saten and Uiharu stood at the crepe line waiting for their turn.

"So Shirai. What do you think of Twi's old friend being in town?" Saten asked as Kuroko looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked as Saten got a sinister look on her face.

"Well I just heard that she was here to take Twi back to her home country is all." Saten stated moving up in the line.

"Is that true Shirai?" Uiharu asked with a worried look on her face for her friend.

"Twi told me herself that she was never going back to that place." She gave them the basic back story on what happened making them get serious and nod.

" Well Twi can count us to have her back if they try to take her by force." Saten growled getting a nod from Uiharu.

"Thanks guys." Kuroko smiled.

"What's going on with Twi?" They all turned to see Accelerator walking towards them with a small girl by his side that was hanging off of him that looked like a mini Misaka. He had a strange device around his neck and he was using a cane.

"A-Accelerator!? What are you doing here!? And whos the kid?" Kuroko asked as he sighed.

"I'm Misaka 20,001. Also known as Last Order." The girl chirped as Kuroko's eyes went wide.

"H-How!? What did you do!?" Kuroko growled as Accelerator huffed.

"It's not what you think. She found me and I've been taking care of her. Aiho is our guardian so talk to her if you want more info. Now tell me about what's going on with Twi?" He asked as Kuroko glared at him.

"She met a old friend that may try to take her back to her home that was going to sell her off as a slave." She watched as his eye twitched and he grit his teeth.

"What's the matter Accelerator? Misaka-Misaka asks with some concern for her friend." Last Order asks pulling on his pants leg.

"Come on short stuff. I need to check on something." He said walking away with Last Order in tow as Kuroko blinked.

"What was that about?" Uiharu asked as the other girls shrugged their shoulders.

"He better not try anything. Uiharu you said that AJ dropped off Febrie this morning with some of Judgements senior members right?" Kuroko asked getting a nod from the girl.

"Hmm." The other two watched Kuroko as she pondered something.

"What is is Shirai?" Saten asked.

"I don't know but I have a bad feeling is all."

"You think it has something to do with AJ?" Uiharu asked

" I don't know but I don't like it." Kuroko mumbled looking to where Accelerator took off.

*With Twilight*

"Got to say Twi this is a really strange place you wound up in. Perfect for you though." AJ smiled looking down at the now younger woman.

"I guess so. Look AJ I was serious about what I said yesterday. I'm not going back, Equestria has gotten along just fine without a fourth princess for centuries, and Luna said it herself that Equestria would be fine without me." Twilight sighed and looked up at the older woman.

" I don't understand how you can choose these humans over us Twilight. You've lived in Equestria all your life, what makes this place so special?" AJ asked looking over at the other girl spotting the fond smile on her face.

"I found happiness here AJ, someone that cares for me and wants to be with me for me. I'm just Twi here. Not the element of magic, not the princess' student, not the bookworm or the princess of friendship. Just Twi. I won't let that go for anything. Not even you and our friends. Just accept that AJ and move on. I had five years to do it, I figured you would have done it when I left Ponyville." Twilight said as AJ winced.

"Look Twilight, I really am sorry about what I said back then. I had no right to call you those horrible things." AJ said looking over at Twilight as they continued to walk.

"You're right, you didn't but I know you're sorry AJ it's why I forgave you. But if you think I left because of you then you're wrong. I've been let down harder by Dash and even Pinkie Pie." She said as AJ looked at her surprised.

"You never told me that you asked out Dash and Pinkie." AJ said as Twilight gave her a hard glare.

"Can you blame me? I just saw that we were drifting apart as a group and I decided that I needed to move on. After Spike left to go to the dragon lands so he could learn more about his kind I really didn't have anything keeping me there. Plus I wanted to be close to home again." Twilight said as AJ sighed nodding.

" I guess you're right. Just so you know Dash, Pinkie, your mom, and brother are all coming. They all want you back. We all want you home Twi." AJ said as Twilight scoffed.

" Please, you just want to try and make up for your mistakes. Not really you but Luna and Celestia. They both messed up and want to make it up to me. Mom and Shining want to because they just accepted it without a second thought." Twilight growled as they found themselves in the park.

" So tell me how you met your new friends Twi." AJ said as the girl smiled sitting next to her.

"Haha. Kuroko was one the first ones I met when we were still in elementary school. She had a bit of a chip on her shoulder for being in Judgement but I helped her with that." Twilight smiled.

*Flashback Four Years Ago*

"Aw man! Schools already over!?" A 11 year old Twilight groaned as she packed up her books and things before meeting up with Wannai and Suki outside.

"Hey Twi! How was school today?" Wannai asked as they heard a yell from behind them to see a girl a year younger than Twilight come running up to them.

"Hey you! Purple head! I've told you a hundred times not to run in the hallways." The girl said putting her hands on her hips.

"Oh come on Shirai, why do you always come after me? I'm not the only one that does it you know! And I told you a hundred times my name is Twi Hoshi!!" Twi huffed crossing her arms as Shirai waved her away.

"Whatever. Well I have to give you a detention slip again for running in the halls." Shirai said pulling out a notepad as Twi groaned.

"That's not fair! You always do this to me Shirai! Why don't you give the others detention when they run!?" Twilight whined as Shirai handed her a detention slip.

" I didn't see them Twi I just saw you. Report after school or you'll get suspended." Shirai said as Twilight huffed.

"I think you just pick on me." She mumbled before walking away with her friends.

*Later that day*

Twilight sighed as she headed home a looked down at the detention slip making her groan.

"Why does she always pick on me? I've never done anything mean to her." She sighed before she heard a yell from a alley way and took off towards the noise. As she rounded the corner she found Shirai on the ground with some older boys laughing at her.

"What's the matter baby Judgement officer? Did you fall down?" A boy with sunglasses on laughed as he kicked her in the side making her cry out in pain.

"HEY!" They all turned around to see Twi glaring at them as Shirai went wide eyed.

"Twi? What are you doing here? Get away!" Shirai yelled as they began walking toward her as she put her bags down and loosened her jacket.

"You got some stones to be coming back here little- WHAM!!!" He crumbled to the ground from the snap kick to the neck as she charged the others using his falling body as a springboard to knee another boy in the face making him cry out as he fell back knocking another back.

Shirai watched in awe as Twilight mopped the floor with the group of boys before they ran away with Twilight glaring after them. Before turning to Shirai and smiled holding out her hand.

"Hey. Are you ok Shirai?" She asked pulling the girl to her feet while the girl just looked at her wide eyed.

"How did you do that?" She asked as Twilight rubbed the back of her head.

"Well my guardian is a higher up in Anti- Skill so she's been training me cause one day I want to join. But since it's only for adults I asked her to train me. Are you sure you're ok? They kicked you really hard." Twilight asked as the girl gave a pain smile.

"Yeah. I'll be fine, I'm tougher than I look." She smiled before gasping when Twilight poked her side.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!?" She had tears in her eyes while Twilight had a deadpanned looked on her face.

"You're not fine. You have cracked rib and a lot of bruising. Let me help you." She said putting her hands on her side and closed her eyes to concentrate.

"W-What are you doing?" Shirai asked wincing in pain at her touch.

"Be quiet I need to concentrate or it won't work. I'm not that good with my healing ability." She said as her hand glowed green while warmth ran through Shirai making her sigh.

"There you go. Hows that feel?" Twilight asked as Shirai blinked and looked over to see her looking up at her. She moved around and smiled and nodded to Twilight.

"Good. Well I better get home." She smiled waving as she grabbed her things and headed towards the exit.

"W-Wait Twi!" Shirai called after her making the girl turn back to her waiting for what she had to say.

"Thank you for saving me. Listen, about the detention... Don't worry about it. I haven't turned in my report yet. I know it doesn't make us even but it's a start." She said looking down as Twilight smiled.

"Hey don't worry about it and thanks. I say that makes us even. I'll see you tomorrow at school. Be careful on your patrols Shirai." She called back to her as she headed for the exit as Shirai called to her again.

"Hey Twi. I know I have no right of asking this but... Would it be ok to be friends?" She asked as Twilight looked at her confused.

"I thought we already were? But ok. Later Shirai!" She called heading home as Shirai looked at where she was in shock before a smile came across her face.

*End Flashback*

" That's really nice sugarcube. So when did yall get together?" She asked as Twilight smiled.

"Why do you want to know? Digging for information AJ?" She asked as the woman blushed.

"N-No! I was just wonderin is all!" AJ yelled as Twilight laughed.

"Calm down AJ I was just teasing. Kuro and I have been together for a full year now but we've known each other for five. I have to say I've never been more happy AJ, and it's because of her and the rest of my friends. I don't know I what I would do without them." She smiled as her phone went off making her sigh.

"Sorry AJ but I have to work. I have to go to the academic preliminary research assembly for a security check. Why don't you go check up on Febrie." She smiled before teleporting away as AJ sighed and headed for the Judgement office.

*Judgement Office*

AJ sighed as she walked into the Judgement office as Febrie looked up and smiled at her.

"Hey momma!" AJ smiled as she walked up to her.

"Well hey there sugarcube! Hows the stay been with the Judgement people?" She asked as the little girl ran up to her with a sucker in her mouth.

"Good. Where have you been?" She asked as the woman smiled rubbing her head.

"I was just talking to an old friend of mine. So how bout we get yall somethin to eat hun? Are you hungry?" She asked as the girls stomach growled.

"I'll take that as a yes. Come on then hun lets get something to eat." AJ smiled as Febrie took her hand and they headed out towards the market as Saten and Misaka walked with her while Uiharu and Kuroko headed for the assembly.

*Market*

"So why are you two coming with me?" AJ asked as the two girls smiled.

"Well I just wanted to know how you knew Twi? Were you like her baby sitter or something?" Saten asked as AJ smiled.

"No no nothing like that. I never knew here till about um well before she came here I guess. She was being trained by our rulers when I met her." AJ said as the girls nodded.

"Yeah Twi told us about that." Saten said as AJ stiffened.

"So she told yall about that huh?" AJ asked as she turned back to them to see their arms crossed.

'Oh boy.' She thought.

"So you're the one that thinks she can take Twi away huh?" She turned to see a boy glaring at her.

"Who are you?" She asked as a smaller girl ran to his side.

"Touma! Did you find her?" The girl yelled as he looked back at her.

"Yeah Index I found her. So you think you can take our friend away?" He asked glaring at her as AJ glared at him.

"She don't belong here. She needs to home." AJ said as the four glared at her.

"I think she's more at home than anywhere else. Even if we have our fights I still see Twi as.... Well a close acquaintance." They turned to see a boy with a cane and collar with a little girl by his side.

"Hey big sis!" Last Order yelled as Misaka smiled.

" Hey sweetie. Hows staying with the meat head going?" She asked as Accelerator growled.

"SHUT IT SPARKLER!" He growled.

"Its fun even if he is a meat head hahah." Last Order laughed as he huffed.

"Whatever. But anyway I'm not going to let something bad happen her and I won't let you take her back to be a slave to another country." He growled as Febrie looked around at the people surrounding them as Last Order came and grabbed her hand.

"Come on lets go play while they talk." She smiled as the girl looked up at AJ who smiled and nodded as she handed her some money.

"Here you go sugarcube, why don't you and Last Order go get something to eat while I talk to them ok?" She smiled as Febrie looked concerned.

"Go on now. We're just gonna talk is all honey. Go get something to eat and then head to the park ok? I'll come get you when we're done." She said as they headed to the crepe stand nearby as she looked at them when three more people came up to them.

"Hello. Are you AJ?" A woman with a sword and one pants leg along with a man with fire red hair smoking a cigarette.

"Yeah. What's it to you?"

" Oh good. I'm glad we found you." AJ turned to see a girl with the same uniform that Misaka was wearing.

"Hey Misaki, what are you doing here?" Misaka asked.

"Oh please Misaka, like I could ever let my darling Twi get stolen away for me to never be able to be with my friend." She smiled.

"So are you another one of Twi's friends? Going to try and stop me from taking her home?" AJ asked as they all heard a laugh.

"Hahahah! Oh dear I'm sorry for laughing ma'am but you see Twi is already home if you haven't realized it yet. She herself has made it very clear she has no intention of going back." A girl with a fan said flicking it open.

"That's right she's our friend and we won't let you or anyone take her away!" A girl with blonde hair said as she opened a water container.

"Yeah. I won't let you take her away." Another girl growled as Misaka smiled.

" Hey, Kongo, Wannai, Suki. How did you find us?" Misaka asked as Kongo smiled.

"Oh well I got a text from a rival of mine that gave me some details about what this woman is wanting to do with Twi. I won't let it happen." Kongo growled glaring at AJ.

" Indeed. Besides I owe Twi a lot after she helped save Index." Kaori growled grabbing her sword as the man pulled a card as the area went dark while AJ looked around to see runes in the area.

" This is a little unfair for a fight don't you think?" AJ asked Misaka smirked.

"Sorry but in this world there is no such thing as a fair fight. Besides Twi is my best friend and is dating another of my best friends. So if you try to take her away that will upset Kuroko and I can't have that." Misaka growled.

"But we're not going to fight. We're giving you a warning. Don't try and take Twi if she doesn't want to." Saten glared as AJ glared back.

*With Kuroko*

"Hey Kuroko. What are you doing? You've been on your phone since you left the office." Uiharu asked as Kuroko smiled.

"Oh just talking to some friends of Twi's is all. So lets get to work." Kuroko smiled as they headed to the assembly.
