After a few hours of sleep with your favorite little ghost you came back to the world of the living, seeing the late night sky being lot by light posts reminded you of Canterlot, it was often bright in the Main Street except for alleyways and other areas in which the subjects didn't want them.

You continued your way towards the observatory as you had to fulfill a promise to Pinkie Pie. Walking towards the observatory you saw that the lights were completely on everyone seemed to have a happy attitudes on them as you softly pushed your way towards the center home.

"Wow. This place is huge." Looking around the house you saw the main floor the stairs leading up to the second floor had two stairs on the left and right side to the left of the house was what seemed like a dining room, the right side seemed to be the living room. Going upstairs there were less and less ponies as there were plenty more rooms it seemed a little too big for one pony.

Approaching a large door you placed your hand on the door trying to push the door only to see that it was locked.

"Must be the observatory area." You said to yourself.

"Yuppers! It's a pretty big place huh!" Turning around you spotted Pinkie who caught you by surprise and hugged you your face was between her very plush and bubblegum scented breasts.

Pinkie's ears perked up as she heard muffled noise, she released your head as you inhaled the precious air you needed so badly.

"What was that sweetheart?" She asked with a smile

"I need air and you smell really nice."

"Awww thank you baby." She said with smile, you gave her a kiss on the cheek making her giggle as her ears perked up twisted slightly.

"Oh before I forget we have to meet the new mare in town. You're gonna love her!" Pinkie happily took your hand as she guided you back to the party.

"Pinkie is everyone here?"

"Twilight, AJ, Rarity, and Rainbow are here but Fluttershy I'm not sure where she's at. I just hope she's okay. Oh before I forget Twilight got a letter back from Celestia and we all got a ticket to the Gala isn't it exciting all of us can go together!" You let out a soft sigh as you knew why Fluttershy ducked out of the party, kissing someone in a skimpy outfit along with him feeling you up slightly and enjoying the damn kiss would make you afraid that's for sure.

"Yeah I'm sure she's fine and that's great to hear some good news for once." Pinkie nodded and continued towards the party.

"Let's go meet that new mare!" Pinkie happily announced

Canterlot...

After his last encounter with some upper class bullies, a homeless child named, Raiden has been trying to get some sleep ignoring the pain on his bruises when sudden a chilling force him to disturbed him, fearing that someone was watching him behind a cold and dense fog

"H-hello?" He began to look around the alleyway and feared whatever it was in the fog.

"I-is somebody around?" He slowly stood up while slowly backing away

"If you're another noble, you're too late, I'm already beaten up so go away!" He shouts a large bulky figure appeared in the fog.

"I said go away!" Raiden shouted in complete horror, the pony not only proceed towards him, but actually started to grow until its appearance of a very bulky and tall Minotaur before hearing a low, but deep diabolic voice coming from around the area.

"Let me kill you!" It shouted in complete anger.

Raiden got paler than snow at those words and flapped his wings and flew as fast as he could. Away from the creature.

As he flew he looked back to see that the demon knew how to fly, fear passed through Raiden as the possibility of death hung if he didn't fly fast enough.

Keeping this pace he flew near the castle wings began to fly tired as he got closer and closer to the castle, just as he was about to fall a bright white light temporarily blinded him looking behind himself he saw the demon hiss as it's fur like coat began to singe at the intense white light.

Once the light had died down he saw Luna staring at him, her hand with a slight white glow and her breathing slightly heavier then usual.

"M-monster." He pointed behind Luna just as a large sledge hammer like weapon swooped down to hit her she moved out of the way in the nick of time.

"Run away, monster! near, run!" Raiden said still in panic before resuming flying away until another Demon appeared, grabbing his wings and breaking them as he let out a shout of pain he began to fall to his doom. The two demons glanced at Luna who swooped down and tried her best to catch up to the fallen colt. Ultimately succeeding she grabbed the boy making both of the demon enraged by the sight they began to approach Luna with break neck speeds.

"Kill the child!" They both shouted, Luna brought up her hand and readied the intense white light knowing that her fight had just begun.

You...

Following Pinkie through the packed front of the house was challenge in itself as Pinkie seemed unnoticed to your loss of speed. Though you received a break once you entered the dining hall where a group of mares were circled around the new pony.

Pinkie happily went in front as you followed suit, approaching the front lines you saw that the new pony was Wild Star seeing her wear those glasses and cute little freckles on the bridge of her muzzle made you smile. Wild Star glanced at you and smiled approaching you she let out an adorable squee of joy.

"You're here!" She happily stated as she have you a hug, you smiled and hugged her back she was happy to see you which you couldn't blame you almost kissed her and she did have a connection with you in the castle.

"Hey there Star you seem in a perky mood." She happily nodded

"Mmhmmm all the ponies who live here are so delightfully pleasant to be around." That made everyone around cheer making Star giggle slightly.

"Well I'm glad you're enjoying yourself it's good to have a break every once in a while." Wild Star nodded before gathering her attention with another who seemed just as happy as she was to meet someone new.

"I'm gonna go and talk to your friend I'll see ya later Dante!" Pinkie says with a smile giving you a quick hug as she walked off towards Wild Star.

An hour later...

You let out a soft yawn as you laid on a grassy lawn of Star's observatory home you were extremely tired as it was usual it was eventful nonetheless, there were a few bottles of empty flavored beer scattered near you.

"You must enjoy drinking." You heard Rarity say with a giggle.

You rose from the ground and nodded as you kicked a bottle away from you.

"Yeah I don't enjoy non-flavored beers makes me a little queazy." Rarity smiled and approached you.

"Dante I-I'm sorry if I put pressure on you to choose me I just really wanted to meet Prince Blueblood and I thought if you introduced me to him is have a better chance and as a 'I'm sorry present' if you ever want the suits I tried to bribe you with, you're welcomed to get them any time you're always welcome in my home." You smiled and hugged her, she did the same you welcomed her friendship even if she did go a little crazy for your cousin.

"Water under the bridge Rares now, I think I gotta take Pinkie to the gala with me and maybe Fluttershy if she's up to it."

"You're having trouble choosing aren't you? Well just know this maybe spending time with Pinkie could make you love her more and Fluttershy well spend time with her, you might even find some hidden secrets about her. Not that I have anything to say to you about her." Rarity giggled as she walked away from you making chuckle as you scratched the back of her head.

"More secrets about little Fluttershy? Well looks like I gotta set up a few dates with the two." You chuckled and laid back down on the grassy lawn.

After a few minutes of silence, you closed your eyes trying to at least get some rest. Just then you felt a slight amount of weight had got on top of you, opening your eyes you saw Pinkie happily bouncing on you.

"What's up Pinks?" You asked

"Well I just thought of something what if you get lonely and I'm not here and well, we're a couple and all maybe we can start a harem! I could be your alpha mare and you could say who joins, ya know stuff like that!" You were a little unsure about the harem idea sure you'd like to have Pinkie and Fluttershy in the same relationship, but having two or more mares could take a lot more energy and with Pinkie that'll be at least three times the energy. Pinkie saw that you were unsure about the idea and quickly rushed to fix it.

"Oh I'm sorry sweetie; you want to keep our relationship hush hush basis huh?" She let out a giggle and reached in her bra as she removed a scroll.

"Here there's a few mares that I think could join us and the ones with the little red stars are the mares I've 'tasted'." She said whispering the final part into your ear. That kinda got you turned on seeing Pinkie with another girl or even kissing another girl got you smiling.

"Trust me sweetie I love a lot of things." Pinkie wiggled her tail tickling your nose slightly as she skipped away.

Unraveling the scroll your eyes widen as the list was as long as Twilight's to do list, you even spotted a few familiar names with little red stars nearby.

"Wow Pinkie you even got my two deputies under your belt." You muttered to yourself.

You smiled and looked around the area and began your way towards Fluttershy's cottage, you wanted to talk to her which of course was something you needed.

Luna...

"Leave him…he's dead… escape while you can." It said in a deep and menacing voice

"No!" Luna shouts

Luna used the readied magic and blasted the bright light towards the demon making it fall as it's burning flesh as it began to smell of sulfur.

"Then die with him." The leviathan breaking the force field and Luna force to take fly to avoid another attack

The other demon dodged the the light and rushed towards Luna swiping at her holding her arm in pain, she threw him over her shoulder as she continued her way towards her room getting ready to grab her weapons.

Entering her room she placed Raiden on her bed and quickly grabbed a large tub of salt grabbing a fist full the demon entered just as it entered she threw the salt in its face making it scream in pain as it panted heavily. Then stomped the skull of the demon knocking it out.

Looking towards Raiden she saw his breathing become heavy as he coughed up blood.

"I have to get him to the medical wing of the castle." She picked up Raiden and continued on towards the medical wing.

Medical Wing...

"So let me guess this straight princess, you found that colt in the garden where he presumably fell unconscious and with a broken wing, correct?" The doctor asked

"Well not exactly odd looking demons chased me and the colt." Luna admitted only to flinched slightly, The doctor looks at her confused as if she had just told a bad joke.

"Ah…excuse me princess, but did you just say…a monster attacked him?" He asked

"N-no I misunderstood is all."

"So…he did fall and that's why he broke his wings then?"

"Uh yes of course that's what happened." Luna stated

"Well he must have been running from something, the scans we made revealed some interesting things Multiple bruises on his body, we found at least 3 chains marks on his back, 2 broken ribs, his left ribs probably got fracture BEFORE the fall, whoever this kid was running from seemed to be finishing the job, this kid must have made some pony extremely angry." The doctor informed

"How long till he's up and running?" She asks

"You mean how long before he can walk again, or when he's completely healed? Because the first one will be at least 2 more weeks, and the latter…" He scratched the bridge of his muzzle. "Like 2 months, minimum."

"I see, well is there anything else?"

"Judging for how dangerously thin he is, I'll say he hasn't eaten anything in maybe a week or two." The doctor informed.

"Well the IV bag can help with that sending nutrients directly to him until he's healthy enough to eat solid food. Correct?" She asks with a smile

"Yes indeed, but I wouldn't risk serving solids yet, the stomach needs to restore itself step by step, once he's healthy enough I will put him on soup diet until his body can sustain heavier foods. And it seems like he's in coma if it weren't for you he'd probably have died."

"I see." Luna simply said

"Now if you excuse me princess I have other patients, goodnight."

"Good night and thank you." Luna says with a smile.

"So ambassador, I imagine you called me for this 'monster' he encountered correct?" Franklin asked as he appeared near Luna.

"Of course like I said before the demons chased me and this colt and from the doctors reported you should know he's injured."

"I see of course, but why call me instead of a spirit walker?" He asks

"You were the only one available most of the Walkers in Canterlot are busy and can't be bothered."

"Of course and for a moment I though I was special, do you know where can I find this spirit?" Franklin said with a chuckle

"Well there's a demon in my room you can take him if you'd like."

"That would be a lot of help, yes with your permission." Franklin then leaves to go get the demon leaving Luna and Raiden alone.

You...

Approaching the cottage you knocked a few times waiting for Fluttershy to open the door, once she opened the door she gasped and slammed the door. You let out a sigh and knocked once more.

"Fluttershy, please let me speak to you." Fluttershy then opened the door with a slight crack,

"Why are you here Dante? If it's because of the kiss you don't have to worry about it." She admitted

"No it's about the Gala." You looked towards Fluttershy's ears to see that they perked up slightly.

"I wanted to ask if you got your ticket to the Gala and if not I'd love to take you." Fluttershy opened the door fully as you saw her outfit she looked absolutely stunning she had a long green skirt with what seemed like boots, on her chest was covered by a yellow wool sweater that covered up her large bust.

"Wow...you look amazing." You said aloud making Fluttershy blush as she seemed to enjoy your compliment.

"Thank you Dante. You're very sweet." She approached you and hugged you, you wrapped your arms around her as you smelled her mane.

"Your mane smells like strawberries. I like strawberries." Fluttershy looked up to your eyes and gave you a kiss on your lips she hummed as your hands went towards her hips.

"I accept I'd love to go to the Gala with you." You smiled and let out a chuckle making her giggle a little you looked behind Fluttershy to see a group of animals almost as if they're saying d'aww.

"I'm sorry for not going to the party I just got scared that Pinkie would hate you for ya know kissing me."

"She was actually fine with it she even suggested a harem. Which kinda got me scared." Fluttershy giggled and got slightly closer to you.

"Do you get scared of relationships easily? It's kinda cute when fidget around."

"You're one to talk your cute little blush when I talk you in a different manner then you're use to is just too cute." Fluttershy tried her best to not blush only to fail

"See adorable." You let out a chuckle before letting go of you and looking at her animals as they all looked at Fluttershy before scattering.

"Well I need to go home I'll see ya later." Before you walked away Fluttershy hugged you from behind nuzzled your back before running back to her home. You chuckle and walked home wondering about the day you'd have.

The Next Day...

"Wake up Sheriff Knight." Your eyes opened to see a pink coat along with a light blue mane.

"Aloe? What're you doing in my room?" You asked as you tiredly wiping your eyes.

"We have to hurry Sheriff Knight Franklin has told every Spirit Walker to assembled at Destiny something happen last night." Aloe informed as she gave you hand and tried to pull you up.

You rose from bed and starched before looking for your pocket watch.

"What happened last night?" You asked

"I'm not sure so hurry and get dressed sheriff we need to hurry." You nodded as you started to get ready.

A few minutes later...

After getting ready you look at your deputies who nodded and threw their pocket watches in the air, the photonegative vision appeared for a few seconds before turning back into a full colored vision of reality instead of being in your room you were now in your office, it was less dusty then before as was everything else inside.

"Let's go." They both nodded as you guided them towards the center of the spiritual town.

After a few minutes you got close to the area where you saw the whole town gathered around the center with your familiar standing in the center trying to get everyone to listen to no avail.

You sighed and picked Mors from your holster and shot the gun in the air making everyone go silent as they all looked at you.

"Continue Franklin." You said holstering your weapon.

"Thank you, everyone this is an important announcement from the council members of Destiny! Yesterday night Ambassador Luna from the Equestrian Kingdom was attacked by a new type of demon, it seems it was attacking an innocent mortal being everyone knows how serious offense this is no mortal is to be harmed by spirits, with this news we've decided for the safety of the spirits to enact a spiritual world curfew, after the sun lowers everyone must gather in the city square no exceptions, and once the sun rises everyone must go to their homes until the sun lowers once more, Spirit Walkers are allow to come and go as they please. Anyone disobeying these rules will be considered a helper of this demon and be given a severe punishment, the punishment includes a revoked deal to rebirth in world of the living once more!" All of the spirits all let out groans and angered voices. You were surprised by the news, you never knew Luna knew about the Spiritual World you always thought you were the only one in your family to know about it.

"This isn't fair! It's the job of the damn sheriffs to catch these bastards!" One shouted

"Why don't you get off your asses and do your job!" Another shouted

Looking at Lotus and Aloe they both seemed slightly distraught about the idea of keeping the spirits corralled like cattle.

"I know you are all distraught about the idea, but keep in mind this is an important part of the spiritual world to keep you safe and give you what you're suppose to be given!" Franklin announced once more.

You looked around the area to see a gryphon who seemed like a Familiar fully enamored by Franklin's words almost if she was in love, you spotted a dragoness Familiar she seemed to have a natural feeling around her. Another was what seemed like a cowboy, he had a rather serious nature around him as he heard every word Franklin said. And the last Familiar was a stallion he seemed to have a prim and proper look on him almost like a butler, but something about him hid more then just a look.

"Lotus Aloe I need to find Will-O before she gets into trouble." Both nodded knowing you cared for the young spirit.

You walked away from the large group of spirits and towards your office knowing she'd be there.

Entering your office you spotted Will-O playing with pieces of paper making them into paper airplanes even making origami cranes.

"Thank goodness you're here. Will-O did you hear about what happened?"

"No why? Did something bad happen?" She asked with a gasp covering her mouth as she had a surprised look on her.

"Unfortunately my aunt was attacked by a demon, which is news to me, because I honestly never knew she was Spirit Walker like myself and it means a small family intervention between me and her." Will-O puffed her cheeks and frowned as she didn't seem interested in your family affairs.

"I thought I was your only family." She said with a frown

"Of course you're my family sweetie but in this world you're the only one important to me, okay?" Her frown turned to a smile as she hugged you giggling when you tickled her sides her.

"Now I don't wanna scare you, but I've come up with a plan where you could be closer to me so you won't get hurt. I'm going to ask the council to let you haunt an area where I stay at so you could escape the curfew okay?"

"Really! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She happily shouted, but stopped and looked at you.

"Can Gemini go with me? I'll miss her if she didn't come and I don't want her to get hurt either." You began to think about Will-O's idea, if you let Gemini come there's no way you could predict what she'd do while you were sleeping. Will-O saw that you were thinking about Gemini and her demand.

"Please? I don't wanna be alone." She said with puppy dog eyes. Brushing her mane you let out a sigh and smiled giving her a kiss on the forehead you nodded.

"I'll see what I can do sweetie." Will-O once again hugged you giving you a kiss on your cheek.

"Let's go!" She says taking your hand as you walked alongside you.

"I hope this goes over well." You mumbled.

Council room entrance...

"The council room. Haven't been here for almost a year." Approaching the large stone door two gargoyles came to life, their piercing red eyes stared at you, one got close to you almost a few inches away from your face and heavily breathed. The other spotted Will-O and growled, Will-O hid behind you clutching your hand.

It let out a growl and stepped aside letting you enter.

"They're scary." She said with a whisper as she looked up to you.

"Don't worry they won't hurt you." You assured her she looked up at you and nodded.

Entering the main chamber you saw your mentors all circled around a large map of Destiny, approaching them all you saw that the map was extremely large almost like Equestria's land and the other countries lands.

"Dante it's very good to see you again, and you brought a little visitor." Lapis said with a smile as she spotted Will-O who was currently hiding.

"Explain why exactly you brought a Spirit into Council Room?" Caesar asked not even glancing at you.

"I need a favor, I want Gemini and Will-O to haunt my home."

"The town whore living with you and an innocent filly? Never going to happen Dante."

"And why not?" You asked

"Dante only one spirit may haunt a home even if it is your home, it cannot accommodate two spirits."

"Well what if my deputies take in an extra spirit would it be fine then?"

"Depends on who?" Daisy stated

"Will-O of course she'd be staying with Lotus and Aloe while Gemini stays with me." The Council Members looked at each other and back at Will-O who was hoping they'd say yes.

"If we do this you will be incapacitated for a few days you'll be tired and won't be able to do anything heavy. You understand these circumstances?" Lapis asked

You simply nodded and held Will-O's hand who seemed excited.

"Very well." The Council Members all held their hands and began to use an odd language, your head became heavy as you held your head, sleep slowly becoming apparent falling to the ground all you saw was a sickly green light.

A few hours later...

Your eyes opened and let out a yawn, you cringed and clutched the back of your head in pain.

"Fucking hell my head." You said letting out a groan.

Looking around the room you saw Lola laying on your stomach, she seemed to enjoy her little bed placement and covered her eyes with her ears, looking up you saw that the curtains to your room were open and letting in the annoying solar light.

"I love you mom, but your sun can get annoying when I'm napping." You sighed and scratched Lola's head going behind both her ears and flicked her ears and let out a yawn. Your hand was dangerously close to her tail making her nervous, you moved your hand upwards and touched the inside of her ear making coil slightly and squirm.

"Adorable." You said with a smile

Lola then jumped off your bed and began to explore your room. You rose from your bed and heard a soft giggle, looking towards your bed you saw Gemini laying on her back, her smile looked innocent, but her eyes had dirty ideas. She wore a black skirt that seemed extremely short along with a lacy black top that revealed plenty of cleavage. From what you were seeing her panties were a light shade of green.

"A perfect stallion needs a perfect mare even if that mare can change into whatever the stallion wants." Gemini said with a giggle

"It's good to see that you're safe Gemini." Gemini slowly rose from bed and gave you a kiss on your cheek.

"And it's good to see that you care for me." You nodded and looked at Lola who had climbed on your desk, you rose from bed and approached the desk you saw the box you signed for yesterday morning. Opening the box you removed what looked like a heart shaped necklace inside a small clear box.

There were several other clear boxes with the same necklace in them along with a letter with your name on it.

Dear Dante,

I know you've been working hard and I've been nothing, but persistent with your work, but you have to understand it's because I love you and you're old enough to know about mares and while you're in Ponyville please try to bring back a marefriend, it'll just be precious to see you with a mare by your side give a necklace to a mare you love signifying that you care for them.

Your mother, Celestia.

You chuckled and brushed back your hair taking the box, you placed it in the closet and grabbed a necklace just in case something happens between you and Fluttershy.

"C'mon Lola it's time we go and get you back home." Lola ran up your shoulder and perched on your shoulder you began to leave your room, once outside you saw Twilight cleaning the living room which wasn't off since it was technically cleaning day.

"Twi, why is Fluttershy's bunny here? Well second bunny here?" You asked

"She came in after a bunny stampede a few hours ago, she kinda snuck in after everything died down we saw her on top of you in the living room, every time me or the girls tried to get her off she'd tried to bite one of us or cry. So I decided just to carry you to your room with her on top of you. I'm surprised she's so lovey dovey towards you." Twilight admitted.

"Huh thanks, bunny stampede?" You asked

"Yeah three days ago."

"Three days ago?! How long was I passed out for?!"

"A week." She says nonchalantly

"A week? Holy crap what happened while I was sleeping or in a coma or whatever happened to me."

"Well a lot, but to shorten things AJ needed help, but didn't want it I persuaded her and lots of things that AJ screw up happened. Fluttershy was worried about you so was Rarity and Pinkie. Barb was too but she was too busy comforting Rarity to even care for the last few days to see you. The doctors said you were extremely tired and fatigue had taken your body into some sort of recovery mode." You sighed and looked at Lola who seemed to be happy that you were awake.

"So I'm guessing you're happy?"

"Of course I am. My best friend's finally up and isn't sleeping like a total zombie." You chuckled and smiled hugging her as she did the same.

"I'm gonna go and see Fluttershy give her back Lola while I'm there." Twilight nodded and gestured towards the door.

A few minutes later...

Approaching Fluttershy's cottage you looked around the area to see Colin chasing a chicken towards a chicken pen, just as Colin was about to catch it, the chicken flapped it wings hovering slightly making Colin hit the ground.

"Colin no! You don't hurt your friends." You heard Fluttershy scold.

Colin lowered his head and whined afraid of being scolded by Fluttershy.

"Hey Fluttershy lighten up a bit he's probably only playing." You said aloud approaching her, turning she gasped and ran over to you giving you a hug.

"Dante, you're finally up!" She excited hugged you, you smiled and hugged her back looking down you saw Colin running around you and Fluttershy.

"Yeah I don't know how I ended up in some pseudo-coma, but I'm glad to be up. And here's Lola I think she wanted me to walk her back home." Fluttershy giggled and shook her head.

"She actually wanted to be adopted by you, she loves you and wants to be with you." Looking at Lola she had a soft red blush on her as she fidgeted with her paws.

"Can't really deny that cute little fidgeting reminds me of a certain yellow Pegasus I know." Fluttershy blushed at your tease and giggled slightly.

"I think I'll keep her as a companion any time I need to relax I'll be sure to have her around." You heard a slight whine and looked at Colin who had his paws on you, you smiled and crouched down to him petting his head as he embraced the praise.

"I'll keep him too, he's gonna be a great wolf when you see him again Shy." Colin happily yipped and licked your face as he tackled you to the ground.

"Strong little guy." You said with a chuckle Fluttershy helped you out and smiled. You smiled back with Fluttershy, your worries melted away, her sweet warm smile was all you needed.
