The unlikely siblings

It was the next morning. Ryan and Babs were cuddled close together. Close as in Ryan sleeping on Babs' stomach hugging her as if she were a giant teddy bear. The morning sun shown through a window hitting the wall just across from the bed. A fan over head spun slowly. Suddenly came a knock on the door. Both Ryan and Babs jumped. Ryan fell onto the bed next to Babs and groaned. "Ryan? Babs?" A familiar voice said. A mare. The door opened and in came Princess Twilight. "Oh did I wake you?"

Babs yawned and rubbed her eyes sitting up. "Yeah... But... We needed to wake up anyways..." She said. "...We're sorry for intruding on your castle Princess... We... Uh..."

Twilight smiled and sighed sitting at the foot of the bed as Ryan got out of the bed and stretched. "Don't worry Luna told me why you were really here." She said blushing. "...I'm glad Ryan found someone to... Do that with... And I'm glad you're alright. That guard had no business coming on to you like that!"

Babs sighed getting up from the bed. "...One minute I'm waiting for Ryan... Next I'm hiding my cutie mark and that guard starts hitting on me... Like I'm some sort of whore..." She said tearing up a bit. "...I wish I could sue his ass... Too bad my father is already too rich to do anything..."

Twilight looked to Ryan who was off to the side getting dressed. "Ryan? Do you think you can go grab Shining for me?" She asked. "He should be in the dining hall with my parents and... If they ask what you're doing here just.... Try and get away from them, make up an excuse!"

Ryan nodded and hurried out of the room as he got his shirt on. Babs looked to Twilight. "...Why did you send him out...?" She asked. "...I need him for a bit of comfort..."

Twilight sighed resting her wing on the mares back. "Babs I sent him out because he isnt the mare in heat here." She said. "You were the one affected here. I really should advise against suing this guard but he actually has what's coming to him. Sue the armor off his back. Perhaps I can get my brother to talk with your father about finding a home here in Ponyville. You clearly are unhappy with earning money and not being able to work for it. Right?"

Babs nodded. She hugged Twilight hesitantly sniffling. Moments later Ryan came back with Shining Armor. Twilight broke the embrace with the teary eyed mare and got up as her brother sat down. "Alright fill me in." Shining asked.

Twilight sighed. "She wants to sue that guard for sexual assault and attempted rape." She said. "I tried advising against it but she insisted on suing him. With a testimony from Princess Luna and Ryan there's no chance he will win the case."

Shining grunted a bit. "Twily it's the royal guard!" He said. "I'm trying to keep a good name to this guard! If she sues him its like she's suing everything I stand for! Would you want your brother to be part of the guard that is linked to a Sexual Assault case?"

Twilight got in her brothers face. "Some of the guards you train think they are ABOVE the law they are supposed to enforce!" She said. "You are the leader and you mustn't let this get in the way. Your duty is to protect princesses and citizens of Equestria." Twilight looked to Babs. "DOES SHE NOT LOOK LIKE A CITIZEN OF EQUESTRIA?!"

Shining sighed. "Fine Twily I'll let her sue that guard." He said. "I'll get guards in every area, in every city, in every town, in every jurisdiction that this is happening. Might as well tell them to keep an eye on the others to make sure they aren't doing what that guard did to Babs."

Twilight stayed silent while Shining got up and left the room. Ryan climbed back onto the bed and hugged Babs. Twilight sat on the bed and joined in the hug. "...I.... I'm sorry you guys had to see that..." Twilight said. "... It's... Just hard for me to see a mare still so young get assaulted like that by a guard..."

Ryan wiggled out of both mares grips. "I cant even believe that happened!" He said. "I mean the guard, the argument with Princess Celestia and Luna, and you and your brother Twilight I never saw it coming!" He took a deep breath. "Okay... And... Twilight about your parents... They seem to think I'm some sort of servant to you and quote 'A poorly dressed one at that'." He crossed his arms and pouted, almost like a child.

Twilight broke the embrace with Babs. "I guess you might be having to sit around with me and Spike today." She said.

Ryan grunted. "Sorry Princess but I'm going to have to decline." He said. "I wanted to go trick or treating tonight! I always loved doing that back at home. And I don't intend to stop doing that now!"

Twilight sighed. "Fine but you'll still have to help me talk with my parents." She said getting up. "I haven't talked with them last night and well... I figured I'd break the news this morning..." She smiled nervously at the boy.

Ryan rolled his eyes. "Fine but you need to tell your parents I'm no servant and you better just tell them why I'm really here!" He said. "Babs? You wanna come with us and have some breakfast maybe?"

The mares stomach gurgled. She blushed. "Well... Sure but... You and I gotta get to what we planned with last night..." Babs said getting up. "...I didn't sleep much... I've been wanting to uh... See if you'd do the same thing like what you did first time..." Ryan blushed hard as she gave a giggle.

Twilight sighed and shook her head going out of the room as Ryan climbed onto Babs' back. "Come on you love birds." She said. "You guys try and keep your fingers and hooves where they need to be. After breakfast you might as well take my brother's 'usual' room. I had them over one night and it was not a pleasant night for me OR Spike." She blushed more.

Not even a minute later they were walking into the dining hall where Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor and two unicorn. One mare and one stallion. Blue maned and lighter blue coated stallion and a white and purple maned and white coated mare. Luna was talking with Cadence while Shining had his head on the table hiding his eyes. Cadence looked over and saw Twilight with Ryan and Babs at her side. "Oh Twilight!" She said sounding slightly ticked. "Why did your brother come in here crying? He never cries unless it has to due with family issues!"

Twilight sighed. "Shining told me not to have Babs sue that guard that harassed her while he was on duty." She said. "Although me not wanting to leave a bad taste in her mouth I said go ahead and sue him as an individual. Luna and Ryan saw it and they can back her up!"

The white unicorn mare looked to Twilight. "Twilight you might be a princess and all but you need to apologize to your brother right now!" She snapped.

Twilight sighed and looked toward the stallion and mare. "Mom I'm sorry to do this but I'm not apologizing until you apologize to Ryan!" She said. "He is no servant! And there isn't anything wrong with the way he dresses!" Ryan crossed his arms giving a smug look. "He's just a runaway boy who was forced into drug dealing by his parents! He came here to start a new life and I'm helping him adapt to life here in Equestria!"

The stallion- Twilights father- gasped. "YOU LET A DRUG DEALING CRIMINAL INTO THIS CASTLE?!" He yelled shocked. Ryan jumped and yelped quickly hugging Babs scared.

Luna stood up slamming her hooves on the table. "Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle!" She snapped. "Ryan is a young man who is trying to turn his life around! If he was some sort of criminal that was a danger to us we would not have had him here for dinner last night WITH FOUR PRINCESSES PRESENT!"

Babs looked to Twilight's parents. "You two better apologize so your son can get his fuckin' apology!" She said. "My dad told me if I ever got into an argument with my cousins that they would only apologize if I apologized first! So you might as well do this and not ruin everyones day!"

Everyone except Ryan looked at Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle. They blushed and sighed. "...S-sorry we thought he was your servant Twilight...." They both said.

"Not to me!" Twilight said. She looked over at Ryan. "You apologize to him!"

Twilight's parents sighed. "We're sorry Ryan..." They said.

Twilight raised an eye brow. "For...?" She said.

Twilight's mother sighed even more. "I'm sorry for assuming you were some poorly dressed servant boy Ryan." She said. She looked to her husband who was just trying to avoid the question. She nudged him making him grunt.

The purple princesses father sighed and looked to Ryan. "And I'm sorry for assuming you were some low life who was trying to hurt my daughter and my son." He said. "I'm uh... I'm just very protective and worried about my children..."

Twilight sighed still seeing Ryan a bit scared. She looked to Babs. "You just go sit down." She said. "Just take a few seats next to Shining and Cadence. They can help make sure he's alright." Babs nodded and went around the table near Luna. They passed Cadence and Shining.

Cadence looked to Twilight. "Your apology to Shining?" She asked.

Twilight grunted and flew over the table where her brother sat. She hugged him. "I'm sorry for yelling at you Shining." She said. "I hope you'll forgive me for what I said."

Shining turned around and hugged his sister sniffling. "...I... I'm sorry for n-not letting her sue that... That blemish on my name as Captain..." He said. He started to cry softly into his sisters shoulder.

Cadence sighed and used her magic to make two hearts float from her horn. One for Shining. One for Ryan. "Here we go..." She said as the hearts popped over their intended targets. Ryan opened his eyes back up and just looked a bit shaken. Shining's crying stopped and he just nuzzled his sister. "Are you two feeling better? Ryan? Shining?"

Ryan looked over at Cadence and smiled. "Yeah... Thanks again Princess..." He said. "And... Twilight? Didn't you have something to say to your parents?"

Twilight broke the hug with her brother and gave a nod to Ryan. She stood by Shining's side as they both looked to their parents. "Mom... Dad... Shining and I keep telling you we cant do everything you want us to..." She said.

Shining wiped his eyes and sniffled. "Yeah... You two asked for a lot and... We feel there's something wrong..." He said. "It's worrying us that everything on the home front isn't as well as we thought it was...."

"Well Mr. And Mrs. Sparkle?" Luna said. "Your children want to help you but to help them they have to know what the actual problem is."

The two unicorn looked to each other. Twilight's mother gave her husband a look Ryan knew all too well. The 'we are busted' look. Shocked and scared if you haven't guessed. They both sighed looking back to their children as they hung their heads. "...Alright you got us..." Mr. Sparkle said. "Ever since Twilight became a princess after moving out and Shining married Cadence we.... We felt as if our babies were going to forget us and leave us in their shadow of success..."

Twilight flew over the table. "Is that everything?" She asked.

Her mother shook her head hesitantly. "...Your father went to Las Pegasus to do some gambling and... Well... We lost a lot..." She said. Her children gasped. "...My pearls... Your fathers vintage glass collection... We even sold a few of my first edition books... It was pretty bad... I tried not to fuel the fire but your father kept trying to sell things to get more gambling money and I literally had to tie him down in the hotel room and hire a hypnotist to get him out of this. I even gave him a couple hundred bits to do it! That put us in a hole we almost couldn't get out of... We actually had to sell your old beds and some of your toys and most of the books you read Twilight..." Twiligh gasped a bit. "...Don't worry I never sold those Daring Do books! I knew how much you loved those books."

Twilight teared up a bit before hugging her mother from the side. Shining flashed to the other side of the table and hugged his father. Ryan sighed and gave a smile looking at the family across the table hugging. "Well that's just a heart warming sight." Cadence said. "Maybe you two should go and sit with your parents for breakfast." She looked to Ryan and Babs. "You two scoot over one seat! I like sitting near some love birds! It makes me feel great as The Princess of Love."

Ryan hesitantly got up from his chair blushing a bit. Babs set her hoof on his lap. "You stay there!" She said. He looked to her. "I'll move over. Just... Keep that thing there until we hit the bedroom." Ryan nodded as Babs got up from her seat and went to the other side of Ryan.

Over at Fluttershy's Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were the first ones up watching morning cartoons despite their ages. Scootaloo could be heard snoring in the other room. Applebloom looked to Sweetie Belle at the other end of the couch. "You think you can go wake Scoot up?" She asked. "I cant even believe Ryan and Babs are sleepin' through that. I cant even stand being in an adjacent room with that going on and I never thought it was that bad."

Sweetie Belle sighed getting up. "I don't understand why you as me to do it when you're the uncomfortable one." She said. "I mean you're on the floor! How uncomfortable is that." She gasped stopping at the hallway. "Sweet Celestia I'm turning into my sister..." She looked back at Applebloom who was still watching her cartoons. "PLEASE! Slap me if I ever say something like that again!" Applebloom nodded and waved her away. Sweetie grunted a bit and went to the closed door of the guest room. She knocked. "Scootaloo? Ryan? Babs? You guys up yet?"

Inside the room Scootaloo snorted waking up. She was in the bed yet the snoring still continued. "...Dammit Applebloom..." She said to herself. She sat up and stretched before getting out of the bed. "I'm up Sweetie Belle..." She yawned a bit.

Just as Scootaloo was about to say something but Sweetie opened the door and stopped short staring at the room with only her friend in it. No closet. Not even any space under the bed to hide. "....Wh-where are Babs and Ryan...?" She asked starting to shake. Scootaloo yawned and popped her back. She was about to reply but Sweetie Belle screamed. "APPLEBLOOM!"

Applebloom and Scootaloo jumped while the snoring kept going strong. Applebloom ran towards the room looking panicked. "What's up that ass of yours?!" She asked. She looked into the room and screamed startling Scootaloo again. "BABS AND RYAN ARE MISSING!"

Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "You guys!" She said. "Calm down and-"

Sweetie grabbed her friend getting in her face. "HOW CAN YOU BE CALM WHILE RYAN AND BABS ARE MISSING?!" She asked. She threw Scootaloo down. "YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT CARE!" She looked to Applebloom. "You and I are going to go out and find them!" Applebloom nodded and they both hurried back down the hall and out the front door.

Scootaloo got up and sighed just as the door was slammed. She went out of the room and went to Fluttershy's bedroom door opening it and entering. Fluttershy was sleeping on her back with a sleeping mask on. She was snoring like a chainsaw. "Fluttershy!" Scootaloo said nudging the big yellow Pegasus.

Fluttershy snorted waking right up. She moved the mask to her forehead as she sat up. "...Oh... Morning already...?" She asked yawning.

Scootaloo hopped on the bed and sat down. "Yep..." She said. "...Alright we have a few rogue ponies going nuts about two supposedly missing sleepyheads."

"Ryan and Babs?" Fluttershy asked getting out of bed. Scootaloo's jaw dropped. She nodded when Fluttershy looked back at her. "Sweetie Belle and Applebloom the ones thinking they're missing?" The orange Pegasus nodded again. Fluttershy sighed grabbing a brush from her dresser just across from her bed. "Luna told me they ran off to Twilight's castle to check on her. She probably didn't know about Applebloom and Sweetie Belle sleeping over with you guys at my place huh?"

Scootaloo shook her head. "You think we should stop them or should we just let them freak out?" She asked.

Fluttershy hummed as she started brushing out her mane. "Well... We probably should tell them." She said. "But... Since they didn't listen to you we should let them freak out for a bit. Maybe we could go tell Twilight about what they're doing?" Scootaloo's stomach grumbled. "If we hurry we might be able to have some breakfast with them."

Back over with Ryan he had just finished a plate of pancakes. Shining was looking at Ryan a bit shocked as he took another bite of his pancakes which he was about half way done with. "....How the hell can he eat so much for being THAT much smaller than us?!" He asked.

Twilight shrugged and wiped up a bit of syrup with the last bite of pancake on a fork. "It's best not to think about it Shining." She said. She looked to Ryan. "You feeling okay over there Ryan? You aren't too full to do... You know... Are you?"

Ryan shook his head. "Nah... I'm good... Chef made em just the right size..." He said. He looked to Babs. She was three quarters done and slowing down. "You doing okay Babs? Getting a bit full?"

Babs nodded and pushed her plate away. "...I just hope I don't pop after this..." She said trying not to get graphic. "May we be excused now? I uh... I just feel like I need a bit of time to relax before going at it!" She blushed a bit looking over at Ryan. "You think you'd be okay waitin' a minute before that?" Ryan gave a nod before stretching a bit.

Twilight gave a little giggle. "Sure you two go right on ahead." She said. She looked to Cadence who was just wiping her mouth. "Why don't you show them to the room Cadence? They might like to be escorted by the princess of love herself."

Cadence nodded setting a napkin down after wiping her mouth. "I would be delighted to show these love birds my favorite room in this castle." She said getting up and extending her wings. "Follow me you two! Love is for everyone and I seem to have plenty of it for you!" Ryan got off his chair. Babs got up and let Ryan climb on her back and relax as they followed Cadence outside of the dining hall. The pink princess looked at them. "Ryan I am very surprised you've managed to find love here in Equestria."

Ryan nuzzled Babs. "Gotta start it somehow Princess." He said. "And I thought why not look for someone who I don't mind uh... Having to help clean me up with everyone out." He blushed hard holding Babs close.

Babs looked back at him. "Hey c'mon that happens to everyone now and again." She said. "...To be honest I've uh... I've had a few accidents myself. Not even a few weeks ago I was walking with my dad... He took me out to a restaurant. Next thing you know I'm four sodas in and on our way back up to the penthouse the elevator gets stuck... We both get stuck for about a few hours before they fix it. The elevator starts up and right as I get into the penthouse I make a b-line for the bathroom. Not even half way down the hall I trip over the fuckin' rug and my apple juice just spills everywhere staining the carpet and the fucking rug I tripped over..." She blushed hard and nuzzled Ryan.

Cadence sighed. "She is right you know." She said. "Me being a princess and all means to sit through long diplomatic meetings with other ponies from Equestria. Some of those meetings get really long. Hours. Possibly even to the next day but that was only one time. That was the only time I had to cover up a bursting bladder by spilling a whole water jug on myself. I had a guard clean it while I went to dry myself off." She turned the corner down the hall. "But this was YEARS before either of you were born. I've gone and moved past that and you shouldn't dwell on that for long. The more you think about it the more it will embarrass you." She stopped at a door and turned facing Babs and Ryan. "Now you two get in there and make it work. I don't want to have to come in here and see one of you weeping in the corner because it wasn't pleasurable!"

Ryan and Babs nodded before Cadence opened the door for them. As they entered Ryan looked around the room. A big bed made just for Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. Against the wall was an armor stand in the shape of a pony. It was clad in golden armor that of some of the guards around the castle had worn. The bed was still a mess as if Cadence had just woken up and had made room for them. Babs climbed into the bed and lied on her side having Ryan roll off. She sighed lying on her back with her haunches wide open. "...That's the ticket..." She said rubbing her belly. She looked to Ryan. "...Maybe you wanna make yourself comfortable? I'd hate for you to have those shorts get stained and sticky."

Ryan blushed hard before starting to strip. He stood on the bed and pulled off his shirt tossing it aside before dropping his shorts and kicking them off along with his shoes. He plopped down on the bed and took his socks off. His cock was rock hard and Babs got an eye full. Ryan grinned. "You want me to lick some ice cream again or you want the extra creamy?" He asked.

Babs licked her lips. "...Give me the extra creamy." She said. Ryan nodded and positioned himself right at Babs' flank starting to tease her marehood. "...J-just go dammit! I'm dying!" Ryan could definitely feel the heat coming from her. He teased her for a second and just went balls deep. Babs screamed a bit blushing hard. She looked to Ryan breathing a bit heavily. "...I-it's my first time... Don't worry just fucking go!" Ryan nodded and started to thrust making the mare grab a pillow and bite down on it. She loved what she felt. He grabbed her hooves as he thrusted just so he wouldn't fall forward or back. Babs' marehood tightened a bit gripping his cock. He started to thrust harder and started to drool a bit too. 'Fuck... I'm already so close... He's just melting....' She thought to herself.

Ryan moaned slowing down a bit. "...b-babs... so tight... so wet..." He said panting a bit. He swapped his grip from her hooves to her teats squeezing them a bit. Babs screamed into the pillow and came splashing him with her juices. She gripped his cock tighter than how Applebloom was the firsts few days he had been in Equestria. He started to thrust faster and harder but kept getting a tad stuck. He came hard shooting his goo deep inside. "BAAAAAAABS!!!!!"

As their interlocking parts stopped twitching Ryan collapsed on Babs. She rolled over allowing Ryan's cock to slump out. They looked into each others eyes and kissed each others cheek before nuzzling and passing out. Just outside their room were Fluttershy and Scootaloo. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle followed looking wet and embarrassed. Scootaloo looked back at her friends. "I tried telling you where they went but you guys just didn't want to listen and just made asses out of yourselves." The orange Pegasus mare said. "I mean... Seriously jumping into the fountain to grab a camo bandana?"

Sweetie belle sighed flipping her wet mane out of her eyes. "We thought it was part of Ryan's shorts!" She said.

"Yeah! That boy can be attacked and swallowed by anything that comes from that forest!" Applebloom said. "And Babs she cant fend for herself she lives the life of luxury! My uncle and Scootaloo's dad would KILL me for losing em!"

Fluttershy looked back. "Well you really shouldn't jump to conclusions." She said. "If you would've listened to Scootaloo you two probably wouldn't have been yelled at by that guard. And be lucky we found you before your sisters did. They knew I was watching both of them but if they found out I had let them I probably wouldn't have any sleepovers with you three again. And I certainly wont get to spend time with Ryan! I just love him!"

Scootaloo sighed. "And you can but probably not tonight." She said. "Our dad is supposed to be released from the hospital tonight and we have to help him home. I actually need to do Ryan's laundry anyways..." She blushed a bit. "...I still feel bad I wasn't there for him..."

Fluttershy rested her wing on Scootaloo's back. "You know he would forgive you right?" She asked. Scoot nodded. "Then don't feel so bad! Feeling bad leads to an unsure relation ship. I felt bad when I was watching after Celestia's phoenix and when it exploded I didn't know if Celestia would put me in her dungeon or take my element away but she knew my intentions were good and she forgave me." They stopped at the door of the throne room. "So Ryan will forgive you for what happened. Maybe buy him a little gift just in case."

Scootaloo gave a smile. "Yeah... Yeah he will forgive me." She said. "Besides. I just want to have him see my costume for tonight. Silver Spoon is throwing a party and she invited everyone she knows! Including us crusaders!"

Sweetie Belle gasped. "She invited US?!" She said shocked.

Applebloom and Scootaloo nodded. "Yeah! She told me she couldn't find ya." She said. "She wasn't that bad to us when we was younger but I think it was that damned Diamond Tiara bitch brainwashin' her into doing all that stuff! I mean think about it! When Diamond Tiara was sick who actually came to try and sit with us? Who came to us to walk her home after Snips n Snails busted her only pair of glasses?"

Sweetie Belle thought for a moment. "Silver Spoon?" She said a bit confused. Applebloom and Scootaloo nodded. She gave a sigh of relief. "Good... My mind is still freaking out about Ryan..."

Applebloom sneezed. Fluttershy sighed. "You two should get dried up before you get sick and try and get a guard to dry up the trail of water you left... I don't want anypony to slip." She said.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle nodded and went back down the hall. Fluttershy and Scootaloo walked into the throne room to see Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Twilight and Shining Armor. Shining sat next to his sisters throne while Cadence and Luna sat in Fluttershy's and Rainbow Dash's throne. As Fluttershy and Scootaloo came into the middle of the circle of thrones Twilight gave a smile as they bowed. "Welcome Fluttershy! Scootaloo!" She said. "I take it you're here to pick up Ryan and Babs?"

Scootaloo raised her head and sighed. "Yeah... Ran into a bit of a kink in the hose if that makes any sense...." She said. She looked to Princess Luna. "I understand you spoke to Fluttershy in her dream. Correct?" Luna nodded. "The problem there was we had Sweetie Belle and Applebloom with us and when they didn't see Ryan or Babs in the room they freaked out and ended up fishing in a fountain for a camouflage bandana."

Luna sighed. "Well I should have suspected Applebloom to be with her cousin." She said. "I apologize for the inconvenience they've caused you. My thinking has been all over the place since my sister forbid me to go back to canterlot until the end of nightmare night... Hopefully she'll send my chariot back..."

Shining belched a bit and covered his mouth blushing. The mares around him giggled a bit. "Excuse me!" He said.

Fluttershy sighed. "I take it we missed breakfast?" She asked Twilight.

Twilight nodded. "Sorry but you did." She said. "Of course you and the crusaders can get a bite to eat. Just give me a minute and I'll sit in with you. Either that or we can wait till Spike wakes up."

Fluttershy and Scootaloo looked at each other. "Twilight?" Scoot said. Fluttershy nodded looking back at her friend.

The purple princess giggled a bit. "Alright you two lets just grab Applebloom and Sweetie Belle and get something to eat." She said. Twilight got up from her throne and walked with her friends towards the door.

Luna stood up and stretched a bit. "Cadence why don't you and I check in on the happy couple? Make sure they're okay?" She asked.

Cadence nodded and stood up. She looked to her husband. "Shining sweetie you go sit with your sister, make that mare moment not so awkward." She said. Shining nodded and flashed away. She looked back at Luna and followed her yet again. "I haven't felt a disturbance in the love they share so everything must've went without a hitch."

Luna laughed as they left the room. "This is a human boy we are talking about." She said. "He mates with humans. Babs however is an earth pony mare and since her father forbids her to mate with somepony safely she basically took Ryan and mated with him. Zero percent chance of impregnation and he feels loved and accepted in our society." They turned the corner going towards the room where Ryan and Babs resided. "To be honest when I sensed him I was worried it was some invader intended on causing havoc or being some sort of hellspawn from Everfree! Instead I find a boy scared, alone and seeking somewhere to live. I sensed Scootaloo in the area and pointed her in his direction but I never knew he had a gun." They stopped outside the room and looked to each other. "Okay just a peek, maybe I do a little dream walking and maybe you get Ryan back in his clothes... Assuming they didn't just pass out from being full from breakfast."

Cadence nodded and used her magic to open the door. Luna went inside first and then Cadence did. There they saw Ryan and Babs snuggled together. Luna stood next to the bed and took a deep breath before having her horn and eyes glow. Cadence used her magic to carefully take Ryan out of the snuggly mare's grip. "Young love... Always nice to see..." Cadence whispered to herself as she got Ryan covered. She made sure she was careful getting his shorts and his shirt on being careful to not wake him up.

Whilst she did that Ryan and Babs were sharing a dreamscape. Luna was with them in what looked to be a dark abyss. Babs had a smile on her face. Ryan was covering himself blushing hard. "You two seem to have made quite an adorable couple!" Luna said.

Ryan smiled and scratched his head still covering himself. "Well thanks." He said nervously. "Uh... I-is there anyway I can be clothed now? I feel like this is just a bad dream where I'm naked in public..."

Luna smiled and her horn glowed. In a flash Ryan was back in his clothes Cadence had put him in. "There we are!" She said. "Now I'm going to wake both of you up. Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are here and they're wondering if you would like to go get your nightmare night costumes ready! I mean who wouldn't wanna dress up and go door to door getting candy? Ryan would probably LOVE how we spend his 'halloween' here OUR way."

Babs giggled. "Aw yea!" She said. "My cousin always has this Bobbing for Apples contest. Each apple somepony gets is one baggie of candy and all the rest is split up between me and Applebloom! Who knows ya might get a few for it bein' your first time here in Equestria." She looked back to Luna as Ryan hugged Babs. "Well lets wake up Princess. Again thank you for allowing us into the castle last night."

The Princess sighed. "Well we couldn't have left you wandering in the dark the whole time." She said. "Now I have to wake you up. The longer I stay in here the more you've been asleep. So far it's been about forty five minutes." Ryan and Babs both nodded. The Princesses horn glowed and everything faded. Outside the dream Luna was joined by Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. Her eyes stopped glowing and she sat down holding her head giving a sigh. "...I have got to do that during the night more often... Or at least if I'm well rested..."

Scootaloo helped Luna to her hooves. "Here Princess you go and rest up for tonight." She said with a smile. "We'll handle it here." Luna smiled and yawned looking a bit tired and flashed out. Just on the bed Ryan and Babs stirred.

The three mares went to the bed, Applebloom to Babs' side, Scootaloo to her brothers and Sweetie at the foot of the bed. "C'mon now get up!" Applebloom said. "Cant be late to get our costumes made! Rarity already said she'd wait until we gotcha!"

Babs yawned and stretched as her cousin helped her out of the bed. "...Can I get a soda....? I'm uh......" She said just completely out of it.

Applebloom laughed a bit.. "Yeah we'll getcha a nice malt to share with Ry..." She said. She helped Babs out of the room.

Scootaloo sat on the bed as Sweetie Belle picked Ryan up and hugged him. "Don't you ever scare us like that again!" She said. "You had us worried! You could've been Timberwolf chow! Please don't ever run off like that without telling us! You could've gotten us in big trouble!"

Ryan pushed away from Sweetie Belle waking up totally. "...Come on... I know how to move during the night." He said. "Now let me go you're crushing me!"

Sweetie Belle set him down on the floor and got up. Scootaloo came over and lowered herself. "Come on lets get to Sweetie Belles!" She said. "Rarity's making our costumes! We gotta pick em up and get you to see dad!"

Ryan sighed climbing on. "You just drop me off with Dad. I already have my costume ready." He said. Scootaloo gave a nod and walked out with Sweetie Belle at her side.

Not long later Ryan and Scootaloo arrived at the hospital. Ryan was clinging to Scootaloo's back scared. The mare looked to the boy on her back. "Ryan I could swear you wanted me to fly here!" She said. "Why didn't you just say you wanted to get down sooner? I would've listened!"

Ryan sat up on Scootaloo's back. "I yelled about three times 'get the fuck down on the ground!'" He snapped. "And did you seriously have to go off the balcony of the princesses bedroom?! I could've walked out the front door with Babs and I could've met you outside!" Scootaloo looked forward whimpering a bit. Ryan sighed hugging his pony sister. "...Sorry... I'm... I just... Halloween was a special day for me back home...."

Scootaloo sniffled a bit. "...Why? So you could pedal your drugs?" She asked. She looked back at Ryan as she stopped at the receptionist desk. Ryan averted his gaze. She sighed and rang a little bell looking back at the desk. A unicorn nurse flashed in. She had a black mane, and white coat. She wore glasses. "Can you show us to Mr. Wheeler's room please? My brother needs to spend some time with him."

The nurse gave a nod as she picked up a clip board and came from behind the desk. "This way please!" She said. Scootaloo smiled as she gave a nod starting after the nurse.

Scootaloo looked back at Ryan giving him an angered look. "Tell me why you're acting like this?" She asked whispering. "Are you still on about me and dad kicking you out? Are you really missing pedaling drugs back where you came from?"

Ryan sniffled tearing up. "...I-it's neither of those!" He said. "...Just... Let me talk with dad alone... Please?" Scootaloo sighed and nodded as she stopped outside the door the nurse stopped at. Scootaloo lowered herself and Ryan hopped off hurrying into his fathers room.

The nurse looked to Scootaloo as she turned back down the hall. "Miss? Didn't you want to go in as well?" She asked.

Scootaloo looked back at the nurse giving a sigh. "Sorry... I have Nightmare Night to get ready for... I'm sure he can find his way home..." She said.

Just inside the room Ryan sat on a chair near his fathers bed. Mr. Rubber had his hoof rested on his sons shoulder as he sobbed softly. "Ryan please don't cry!" Mr. Rubber said. "Where's your sister I thought she was with you!"

Ryan sniffled and looked up at his father. "...She... She doesn't believe tonight is special to me..." He said. "...She thinks all I did was fling 'happy pills' around... I had a life outside of what my parents wanted me to do... You believe me don't you...?"

His father nodded sitting him back in the chair. "I do believe you Ryan..." He said. "...You're lucky I'm getting out of here tonight... Now c'mon tell your old man what happened."

Ryan took a deep breath. "...I... I had a great friend back home..." He said. "...Last year she saved me from being arrested... I made stencils for an art piece while she danced Michael Jackson at the local park just so she could buy the paint... We went and started the mural I had but... It didn't help me that she took all the blame and told them I was trying to get her to stop... Today is one year she's been inside a detention center while I get off guilt ridden... It's special because... That mural we were going to paint was going to represent our friendship and... Well we never got to finish it... I moved but I didn't bring the sketch book I drew the mural in.... Not to mention it had all the stencils I needed to get it done..."

Mr. Rubber thought for a moment. "Well... What if I told you where to get all you need?" He asked. "Do you think you could do it without vandalizing anything? Maybe you can as Princess Twilight for some ideas so it can transfer over to an equestrian style." Ryan gave a bit of a nod. "Alright kiddo, go home grab your scooter and your backpack and see if you can get Princess Twilight to accompany you. Oh and if you see your sister send her back here."

Ryan gave a full nod and got up before walking out of the room. About an hour later Ryan was back at Princess Twilight's castle with his scooter. He sat outside of the throne room with Shining Armor at his side. "Sorry you missed Twily bud." He said. "She went out to lunch with Luna and Cadence but hey I'm still here. Lucky I am too. You probably wouldn't have gotten through the doors with that pack.. I can tell an empty pack from a mile away."

Ryan sighed as he ran his hand across the foot board. "...I was hoping to see if Twilight would help me with a friendship problem while I was out..." He said. "...Scoot doesn't believe I had a friend back home that managed to get me away from the drugs for a night..." He looked up at Shining who sat next to him. "She inspired me to draw and paint a mural... But the canvas we had just wasn't big enough between me and her and a few cops... I'd be jailed if she said it wasn't her fault..."

Shining gave a sigh. "Guilt's eating you up isnt it?" He asked. Ryan nodded slightly. "Tell you what. I'll be out there tonight working, making sure everything is safe for the festival goers. I'll give you a radio to communicate with me if you either get into trouble or you see trouble. I'll come to break it up but keep moving and try and hide."

Ryan thought for a moment. "...Maybe I can do something else?" He asked. "I prefer to stay neutral when doing things. Sometimes Id cover gang graffiti. That's the good to cover my drug dealings. Cops came saw me spraying down the tags, they get closer and I'd tell them I'm doing them a favor."

The unicorn stallion gave the boy a smile. "Well that sounds like something I could possibly work in to a little guilt punishment." He said. "There was a report that the local school house was tagged up by some hoodlums that used to go there. We would've had someone tag over it but it's on the roof and that roof isn't that strong to hold any guard with his armor on it. Even then we cant really paint over it cuz... Well hooves." He held his hooves up. "I'd get Spike to do it but he's a bit afraid of heights and... Well I heard you on your way down after your sister picked you up. You were yelling your head off."

Ryan blushed hugging his legs. "...I can only handle heights when I know my feet are on something solid and that I know I can survive from that height." He said. "...Being on a pegasai's back and having someone jump from a balcony what- ten stories up? It's basically taking you and forcing you to look at down the barrel of a cannon that fires a cannonball that quickly expands to where you cant avoid it!"

Shining nudged him a bit. "How do you know what's in the guard armory?" He asked. Ryan froze up averting his gaze. The white stallion chuckled getting up. "Kidding! C'mon lets get out of here. I'll stop by the art supply shop and get some spray paint for you. Maybe while you're there you can get what ever you need."

Ryan smiled a bit standing up gripping his scooters handle bars. "All I'd need is a sketch book, some construction paper, a roll of duct tape, some of those sharp knives to cut out a design and some colored pencils. Cant sketch a final design without using color. I've got a hundred bits so... That should cover it right?"

Shining sighed as they started to walk. "You still have a lot to learn..." He said. "Maybe Twily will teach you things you'll need around Equestria. Maybe even a little knowledge about the few types of ponies around Equestria. Maybe even a bit more about griffons."

Ryan fixed his pants a bit. "Griffons love gold. Pretty sure that's all I'd need to know." He said.

Shining huffed. "Getting cocky already. I like that in a stallion because I know he'll mess up." He said. "There's still a lot you need to learn. Just a warning Twily will not go easy with home work. Trust me she had me studying about a few gangs in manehattan in case I had to go under cover and take em down from the inside out."

A few hours later Ryan was in his room brushing his hair back making it stand up almost on its own. He had a faux almost billy goat like beard on his chin. A white Metallica shirt on, camo shorts and his sneakers on. He sighed. "...Scoot why do you do this shit...?" He asked himself. "...You think I'm just all around bad... Under all this scum is a heart of silver... Gold is too much for even me but... I'm still good. I'm not some guy who runs powdery or crystalline substances across back alleys and cityscapes..." He sighed looking back at his Scooter with his jacket and backpack on it. A pile of art supplies sat next to it. "...Maybe... Maybe a gift might help... Why make tonight hell for both of us when we can spend it together and welcome dad back home in open arms...?" He grabbed his jacket and tossed it onto the bed. He wheeled his scooter over to his dresser and opened the bottom drawer grabbing a handful of bits from the bag and shoving them into a large pocket on his shorts.

Just as he went to his bedroom door he heard the front door open and shut with the sound of hooves rushing down the hall. He opened his door and saw a purple tail go into Scootaloo's room. He walked over to the door and peeked in seeing Scootaloo sitting on her bed facing away from the door looking at the necklace her mother left her. "....You and I used to do a lot during Nightmare Night..." She said. "...Why couldn't Twilight bring you back today...? I would've loved to go have fun at the festival with you... Yet I'm stuck here with someone who wont even tell me what's wrong... Was it when I scared him with heights...? Was it when we were going to see dad...?"

Ryan left the scooter at the door walking in to his sisters room. "...It's because you didn't take a second to even listen to me..." He said alerting her to his presence. "...My words might be quiet but... Music speaks louder... You'd listen to your mothers music but not me... If I sang out everything I wanted to say everyone would either get annoyed or just kick me out of equestria..."

Scootaloo got up off her bed and hesitantly approached her brother. "...Ryan... I... I'm sorry...." She said. "I ran into Shining Armor and... How was I supposed to know you had someone back home you cared for...?" Ryan looked at her giving her a weird 'are you kidding me' look. She blushed and averted her gaze. "...Oh... Right... Well... I'm really sorry I wasn't listening... I just wanted to see if you wanted to... Maybe do something mom and I used to do together..." She looked up at him. "...Will you...? Please?"

Ryan gave a nod before hugging his sister. She wrapped an arm around him. "...Maybe before we do that I can buy you a new CD over at Vinyls?" He asked.

Scootaloo let go of her brother and nodded. "Just give me a minute." She said nudging him out the door. He gave a smile closing the door behind him. He then wheeled his scooter out into the living room sitting on the couch. He waited just a few minutes and out came Scootaloo wearing purple round shades, a tie dye head band and her mothers necklace. "Well? How do I look?"

Ryan smiled. "You're the best looking hippie this James Hetfield ever saw." He replied. "Now lets go. Vinyl wont stay at the shop for long I don't think." Scootaloo smiled and went for the door as Ryan got up and started his scooter. Soon after they were off blazing down the road in a race to Vinyl's Record Shop. Both happy as can be. Guess all they needed was each other.
