Nathaniel's P.O.V.

As I helped Cedric get dressed to go to Stonehenge I couldn’t shake the horrid feeling that today was going to be a bad one, it was raining, though it rarely stopped raining in the U.K. these days. Luckily we’d be chaperoned by an armored car to the monument and the ‘emerald circle’ it stood upon.

The Emerald circle is a large area of unbuilt upon land where grass and trees continue to grow without being tainted by man. It’s a popular vacation spot for any of the few naturalists that still exist, even though those evangelical communists tend to try and get it built upon every few years though it as if their ‘Mighty God’ refuses to suffer them on that hill and everything built there mysteriously vanishes in a single night.

Apparently my Mary had the same thought and we revised our wills after our Dive Hub was givin a visit by that stallion from the store during the night. It was… a rather interesting visit to say the least.

Four hours ago

“Dive Hub intruder detected. Proceed with purge?” A feminine voice came out over the bed to wake me before pulling me into the Dive Hub, I had a portable set built into my hearing aid so I could keep track of the A.I. we had, another Help Mate that my daughter bought, a dragonic female she had refused to tell me the reason for. She was one of the A.I. Only versions that did not have a real shell.

“What’s it look like it Barbara? It could just be an advert?” I said as I put on my dive rig and entered the hub finding myself face to face with the stallion from before, his expression was rather grim looking.

“Ah! I’m glad I caught you, I was hoping to speak with you and your wife about a technical hitch we found concerning your purchase on behalf of my employer.”

Within a moment I had woken Mary and we were sitting across from the Stallion and talking. Barbara placing some tea for us to drink. Which the Stallion looked grateful for, the reason he contacted us was due to a technical hitch in legal issues of our children in regards to our passing.

“Wait… you bought a helpmate to watch and raise our children if we die?” Mary asked her eyes turning to me with a rather cross expression.

“He specified that the latter portion should only occur in case of your untimely demise due to your neighborhood’s rather… lackluster reputation. The reason I called you here today is because in order for Twilight Sparkle to assume Guardianship of your children she must be legally programmed to do so, meaning that you would have to alter your wills to include her having custody of your children and you will also be able to make several more alterations to her internal memories and so on.” The stallion explained his tone somber as the conversation was quite grim in tone.

“Wait… Twilight Sparkle? As in from Friendship is magic? You got a helpmate of an anthropomorphic Alicorn Princess to look after our children?!” My wife started to rage but, suddenly realized she had put herself on the spot.

“Ah, it seems you know our Dear Princess of Friendship… then if you would be so kind Mrs. Drake, would you happen to have any material from any of the assorted fanworks that might aid us in helping Ms. Sparkle in her endeavors?” The stallion asked with a smile that looked far too relieved. Then again there was likely a lot of it to sort through and having a deadline to get a legal guardian programming permit would mean they’d have to start fast.

She sighed and nodded pulling several visual representations of fan novels and held them out. “Here, and I do think that she should have access to our houses Virtual Assistant Barbara.” She said motioning to the Purple Dragoness behind her who was wearing a maid costume complete with frilly pink apron.

The stallion blinked twice and smirked. “Very well Miss. Also, nice looking Dragoness, she reminds me of Spike.”

“I get that alot.” She admitted sheepishly.

“Very well, then I’ll leave you two to your sleep as I make sure Twilight Sparkle will be the best she can be.” He said standing up. “Do have a nice day tomorrow.” He said with a bow before deconstructing which was a flashy way of leaving a hub net.

“So… you’re one of those Pegasisters eh?” I asked with a smirk… I slept on the couch the rest of the night.

Present Time, Cedric’s P.O.V.

I was so excited, mummy, daddy, steph and I were in the taxi and on the way to Stonehenge! “Oooh I hope we get to see Aliens!”

“We’re not gonna see Aliens Cid, come on, I mean what are the chances of that happening?” Big sis said with a sigh as she leaned into the seat and played on her game system. It was a retro game system called a 3DS which daddy said was really expensive so I shouldn’t touch it.

“Better chances than you getting out of trouble for playing your father and I like you did young miss.” Mummy said with a sigh and a look of disappointment at big sis which made her look kinda scary.

“Aww, mum, it’s not like it isn’t a good spot for a cheap vacation besides, the runt’s excited to go.” She said trying to get out of it by bringing me into it… but, she wasn’t lying so mummy stopped being mad wait… what did she say?

“Hey! I’m not a runt! I’m taller than most the boy’s in my class!” I tried to defend as I stood up only to be held down by Mummy

“Children please st-” Mummy tried to say when the Taxi stopped.

“Oi! you lot, we’re ‘ere. Thanks for riding with U.K. intercontinental Taxi Solutions, need a Beacon?” My daddy nodded stopped typing on whatever he was doing for his work and took the little card thingy that they called Bacons, they don’t look like strips of pork though.

When we got out of the Taxi we were met by this really loud lady who seemed way too happy for no reason, I was worried she was gonna hug me to death when she saw me, but after a while and meeting a whole lot of other people we were heading towards Stonehenge and the aliens!

3rd Person P.O.V.

The tour group was filled with twenty four members, one less than the twenty five that it was supposed to have which seemed to upset Stephanie greatly as they approached the great stone monument.

“Sweetie what wrong?” Mary asked quietly falling in step with her daughter which only caused Stephanie to sigh.

“Jeffery was supposed to meet us here and be part of the tour group… I don’t know what’s wrong and I’m worried mum. He hasn’t even responded to any of my texts since last night.” She said sending another ping to his phone but, getting no response.

It wasn’t that unusual for someone to go missing in this city, there was a theory that ran around that the reason nobody was ever found was that the government was using an unknown method of population control so that they didn’t have to build things like Stacks.

Though as they got to the monument they would have wished that was the case.

“Jeffery! Oh my gosh there you are! Cid come on I promised I’d introduce you to him.” Stephanie grabbed her little brother’s hand as she said that and sprinted towards him, her little brother following along.

Mary was going to call them back but, her eyes widened as Jeffery pulled something from his coat pocket.

“J-Jeffery why do you have a-” Stephanie was asking as she was slapped across the face with the butt of a handgun and pulled along with her brother into the crazed man’s arms as the tour group began to panic and disperse.

“Nobody move! I just want to talk to these brats parents!” He screamed as Nathan and Mary walked forwards hands up and fear in their eyes.

“Good, you Nathaniel Drake?” He asked and the second Nathan nodded...

*Bang*
