Silence. This was all Princess Luna ever heard. Ever since...the incident. she sighed as she looked down to the ring on her hoof.

"Why did you have to go? Why did you have to leave me?" Luna asked to no one. Sighing once more she recalled the last words that her soon to be stallion for eternity said to her.

"I'll be back......someday"

But it was over2000 years ago he had said that, and she was losing hope...for good.

"You know, it wasn't just your lover that disappeared"

Unbeknownst to Luna, her older sister,Celestia, had slipped into the room to share in her grief.

"Tia, do you think they will ever come back?"

To this celestia just slowly sighed in thought.

"I don't know lulu, I don't know.

The two princesses just sat their in the Canterlot  castle, grieving over their lost loved ones, wondering if they would ever come back.

"Well, this has been a real shitty day huh Tanner?"

"Nawww, just peachy.

Tai and Tanner had ended up in equestria after a terrible misshap with their jet controls that sent them spiraling to the ground, in an impact that very well should have killed them. But as no big surprise to them, they shrugged it off. How you may ask? Well...they don't know. All they know is that they have been alive for more than 2000 years and stuck by each other for every minute. And can't remember anything before that, except the voices of two girls, whom they dident know. Or so they thought.

"So you call crashing air jets, losing are human body's, turning into winged unicorns, an being stared at by a whole tribe of multi colored ponies for the whole day, JUST PEACHYY!!!??

"Yup how about you?"

"Totally bro, its kinda sick"

The two laughed at their sarcasm like this were all no big deal.

"Well, you know, in my defence, that Tirek guy did seem pretty tough, and had powers. So when two alicorn dudes just happened to be there to wreck him before he could do anything, ponies are going to stare."

Tai and Tanner had just recently got into the "My Little Pony" fan base and thought how cool it would be to go there, but never thought it was possible. So when they had transported to Equestria it came as quite a shock, but quickly got over it when they realized that the mane six were in a boss fight with tirek, and were losing.

So to the surprise of the mane six (especially twilight) they stepped in and sent him back to the depots of hell, where he came from.

But they were getting stares from everyone in ponyvill......all day....and were just plain tired

"But seriously, where are we going to sleep?" Asked Tanner

"Hmmm, how about in the alleyway? No one will bother us there."

"Sounds good"

The two walked into the dark alley, only to hear a very, very hard to hear crying from the end of the alley. As they traveled further it started to get louder, and louder, until they were right next to the source of the crying. There before their eye's, lay a young filly, who could have only been seven by the looks of it. Tanner started to try to calm the filly but only succeeded in making her more frightened.

Then it snapped.

Something overcame Tai and forced Tanner out of the way, as if an old protective instinct had just kicked in.

"Move, your scaring her!

"Ohh yea I don't see you with any bright ideas, generally obvious!"

Tai sat and thought for a minute before a idea came to him. Digging through his survival backpack which was on his wing(thank god for those things. He thought) and brought out a bright red apple that the nice golden brown mare had given him earlier.

He approached the cowering filly that by now was literally shaking.

"Hey, dont be scared, its OK, I'm not gonna hurt you"

He then placed a hoof on the filly, not a force full one, but very gentle. This took the filly be surprise, as she noticeably calmed down, and was now staring at the apple with wanting, but cautious, eye's.

"Go ahead, you can have it"

The little filly took the apple and slowly took the first bite. She took in all the flavor of it and jus fuel as if she a going to Mel into it. She then realized that this stallion before her was being genuinely generous. She then decided that she would trust him with anything. Being so she felt in debt, so, she split the apple in two and gave the other half to him.

"W-what are you, no, I can't I gave it to you, I can't take it away, you need it"

The next thing she did left him in absolute shock.

"All I need, is someone to call daddy"

The heart that laid in his chest then shattered when he processed what she said. She had no parents. He could not stand for. This so he said something he will always be proud of.

"I'll be your dad, I'll stay by you"

The look she gave him was that of absolute joy. She couldent believed her ears

"R-really?"

"Yup"

With that the filly just ran up and hugged him until all three were nearly asleep

"Hey, kid what's your name?"

"Autumn"

" That's a nice name" was the last thing he could say before drifting to sleep, with the filly still cuddled up next to him.

                                  1:30 AM

PRINCESS!!PRINCESS!! one of the royal night guard's yelled while bursting into the throne room.

"What is it?" The princess of the night herself answered,slightly agitated.

"Its him he's back!"

*gasp* "your sure of this?" She asked

"Yes ma'am, one of the guards saw him, down in ponyvill along with the other one, they defeated Tirek."

*that has to be him* Princess Luna thought to herself as she thought about it.

Could it be?, the day that she has been waiting for for two thousand years, could it finally be here?

"Ma'am should I ready the moon mobile?" The guard asked.

"No time, we will fly there alone" she answered.

She decided to go there in the morning with her sister celestia to see if this was true

"Until then" she said.

It was 2 AM when he woke up. At first not knowing where he was, then remembering what had happened that day. He smiled as he looked at the filly and saw that she was stargazing.

"Shouldn't you be asleep?" He asked.

"No, I'm nocturnal, I stay awake at night to look at the big beautiful stars."

"Then we have soothing in common" he replied

" Hey, just asking but why were you so afraid of me and Tanner?" He asked

She thought this over for a minute before answering.

"Because your an allicorn, and here, allicrns are the most powerfl beings on the planet"

"So, what, you thought I was gonna get ya or something?" He asked

"Partially". She admitted

" Well you have nothing to be afraid of, not while I'm here"  he said as he pulled her into a hug.

They eventually fell back asleep in a big hug.

When they woke, the three ponies traveled around ponyvill to see that ponies where still staring at them in awe and some cowering in fear.

They continued their adventure until they were stopped by the mane six

Twilight, of course being her usual self and asked ten thousand questions, while pinkie just bounced up and down spurring out party ideas and the others rolled their eye's.

"Classic pinkie"said Tai

After what seemed like an hour of questions, twilight had finally said

"Well I better send a letter to celestia about thi-"

She was interupted by a loud 'BANG, BANG, BANG,' at the door.

She opened it to find that there was the princess of statement their with her sister Luna in tow, and a large group of guards around them.

"Looks like they already know" Tai said nervously to Tanner.

As they entered, the two idiots and the filly all tried to hide themselves among the other six, which was already impossible seeing that they were a good four feet taller then them, and the fact that the main six were bowing didn't help in any way.

"You two, what are thou names?" Asked princess Luna, as scary and intimidatingly as ever.

Completely and utterly scared shirtless, they responded.

"And you two have defeated Tirek single hoofedly?"

They processed every thought as to not screw up in front of royalty, but eventually answered.

"Y-yes, ma'am"

Princess Luna then turned to talk to her sister for a moment.

Seeing this, the two idiots started to actually look at the princesses.

Tai, was looking at Luna, and noticed that she was lean, muscular, cute, and just plain out looked awesome.

" Bruh, Luna looks gorgeous" he whispered to Tanner, in a what that made him seem like even more of an idiot.

"Naw, man I've got my eye's on celestia." He said staring at the bright white coat, elegant wings, long horn, and stunning eye's.

They snapped back to reality when they realized that the princesses had asked a question.     So they stood there with stupid looks on their muzzles and just said one thing.

"Huh?"

Now listening, they asked to repeat the sentence.

"We said, dost thou remember us?"

They answered truthfully, and with a clear mind.

"Nope"

The princesses then looked saddened and quickly looked down before discussing something.

"Sister, we are sure this is them, they have just lost their memory."

Luna and celestia talked a while more before coming to a decision.

"We have decided, that you will stay in the castle until further notice, it seems that you both have lost your memories. Said celestia.

"Indeed" uttered princess Luna while looking down to the ring on her hoof.

"We shal leave immediately" commanded princess celestia.

Only to find that both stallions were just staring in absolute shock.   Tai came to first.

"I'm not going, not unless I can bring autumn" he said.

The princesses looked at each other in confusion.

"And, who is Autumn?" asked Luna with a confused look.

He then carefully unfolded his wings, breaking the makeshift blanket he had created for Autumn.

The princesses gasped in shock at the state that she was in.

"I found her in an alley, shortly after the fight with Tirek, she was cold, tired, and starving, so I gave her the apple that apple jack gave me and when I learned that she had no parents, i-i told her I would take care of her."

Apple jack was the first to speak.

"That was ah, mighty fine thing ta do pardner.

Then Luna spoke up, after waking up out of her trance.

"Still has as big of a heart as ever huh?"

He thought about this for a minute before he gave an answer.

"Huh?"

Luna quickly realized her mistake, and corrected it as quick as possible.

"Never mind that, thou may bring the filly if thy wish."

With that, they started their trip. They had to fly there, which was difficult considering that the two stallions had to learn fast, and Tai had to hold on to Autumn the whole way in his hooves.

When they arrived they were quickly ushered into the royal library, and were told that they were to stay put while the princesses found the spell to return their memory's.

They sat their for hours in the Canterlot castle until it was getting dark, and Autumn was waking up.

"Hmm, where are we?"

"We are in the Canterlot castle, specifically, the royal library. He responded, only to see the look of pure astonishment on her muzzle.

"Why are we here?" She asked slightly confused

He was just about to respond when Princess Luna appeared, and made acquaintance with the filly.

She then explained that they had found the book and will use it shortly.

But before she left, he asked her some things that were bothering him.

"Why are we here?, how did you know where to find us and why?, and...what's with the ring. He said pointing to the ring at the last part.

"All will be revealed when the spell is done." She said putting her now glowing horn to his forehead.

As soon as she made contact, he blacked out.

He was now standing in front of what seemed to be ponyvill, thousands of years ago. As he looked he noticed that all the other ponies were gone, except one.

As he was looking at the little colt, a memory had just reinstated in the back of his mind, and realized.

"That's......me....
