The Entities and the Heartbreak

The rest of the party itself was mostly uneventful but there was a few exceptions, like when rainbow tried and failed to prank Daniel, at first she tried replace his punch drink with pure sour lemon juice but he saw this and switched them about when she was not looking which lead to her almost screaming when she took a drink. When the party was over Daniel was starting to take Annabelle home, he just got to the door and opened it when he was stopped by someone calling his name.

"Cosmos." He turned around to see twilight and fluttershy beside each other and both looking at him, Twilight was rubbing the back of her head. "I would like to say thanks."

"For what?" He asked with a raised eyebrow but they could not see it as the darkness from his hood mostly covered his face.

"For standing up for fluttershy like that when gilda scared her." He just chuckled at that.

"I always stand up for my friends." He turned to Annabelle when he hear her yawn. "I think somepony is tired." He still hated having to say that word.

"N-No I am....not." She had half closed eyes and had trouble keeping them opened.

"I think we should be heading back. See you tomorrow." With that he put Annabelle onto his back, waved to twilight and the others and went back home.

"Brother." She asked still lying on his back.

"Yes strawberry?"

"When are we going back home? I like it here but I want to see mommy and daddy again." Daniel stopped walking and his heart almost sank when she said that, in all the time she has been in equestrian Daniel has not mentioned to her that they lost their home and their parents, he feared that if she knew that then she would be heartbroken when all he wanted for her now was for her to be happy and safe so if he told her about that then he would have to tell her everything else, like how he failed to protect them and the rest of their race all because he was not strong enough. She was frozen and almost asleep when Daniel arrived here through that portal that unicorn with the beard made so it was likely she did not hear him. Memories of the times he spent on earth flashed through his head, his first day at school, when he met his best friend josh, when Annabelle was first born and with that thought he felt a pain in his chest.

"I failed to protect them, and I cant bring back the dead so the most I can do now I keep you safe and happy. I wont fail you Annabelle."

Something was nagging Daniel in the back of his mind telling him that she had a right to know but what stopped his was that he wondered if doing that would be considered mean. Daniel was so lost in his thoughts he did not realise that he had started crying until he heard Annabelle talk.

"Brother, are you ok?" She had gotten off of him and was now looking him in the face, he just now realised that he had tiers running down his face so he wiped them off before speaking to her.

"I will be ok, I don't know how much longer we will be staying here." Annabelle seemed to be a bit disappointed with that and Daniel realised he needed to find something for her to do, a thought clicked in his mind but he needed to know something first. "How much has..." He looked around to check there was no one close by and continued when he saw there was not. "How much has alpha taught you?"

"He taught me about some of the history of this place from books he found, I know about the holidays, the nightmare moon event, a famous unicorn called starswirl the bearded, the three pony tribes....you know, basic history." Daniel was going to either regret this or love it.

"Strawberry, how would you like to go to ponyville's school?" Her face brightened up greatly.

"I would love to, I can make new friends, learn new things." She jumped on Daniel which almost toppled him over. "Thank you so much." He just chuckled at how she was acting, he still needed to make some rules.

"Ok, now if I let you go you must promise me a few simple things." She let go of him and dropped to the ground before standing up with a smile and Daniel swore he could see a halo over her head.

"Anything." Her smile did not disappear.

"Lets get back home first then I will tell you." With that they walked back home, along the way Daniel took a look at the sky and saw it was perhaps the best night sky he had ever seen as there was lots of stars and they were shining like diamonds, he shook his head and continued walking to his home. When they got in he locked the door and went to their everfree home then he change them back human before turning on some lights  and then sitting down and a chair and Annabelle ran up the stairs to her room, Daniel had always kept the blinds over the windows closed and with them being as thick as they were the light from within the house was not visible from the outside, she can back down later wearing her PJs and getting the covers and pillow he made for her a few nights ago before sitting on the couch with them still in hand.

"You still have them? Why don't you sleep in one of the beds in the bedroom?"

"I found this couch comfy when I first slept on it, more so than the beds, that's why. Anyway what do you want me to promise?" She was still sitting up on the couch but she place the pillow on the arm of it and was still holing on to the covers.

"One. You can't say what we truly are. Two. You cant say anything about our home and three. you cant say what I am or what I am capable of, ok?"

"Is rule three and one not the same?" Daniel understood what she meant.

"I mean you cant say I am the shadow or about my other form." After the events of nightmare moon talk about the shadow creature started to spread between their friends and the princesses, Daniel decided to tell her that he was the shadow creature that attacked nightmare moon and showed her once when they were in their house, she was a little scared of that form but she knew it was still her brother so it was not that much of a scare for her.

"Ok then." She let out another yawn.

"Sleep time for you little miss." She now put the covers over her and her head on the pillow and settled in to go to sleep.

Daniel still sat on the chair and was unmoving as his mind raced to find a answer of what to do, Annabelle had every right to know but he wondered if It would count a cruel to tell her. he placed his hands on his face and sighed.

"What do I do?"

After a few more minutes had passed he still did not have a answer, he decided to head to the lab to ask alpha what he thinks so he got up and went to the lab door, once he entered it he found the bots still working on the generator but did not see alpha so he approached one of the red eyed bots and it had metal hands on the right and left sides of its head and it was holding a blowtorch in the right and a screwdriver in the other.

"Where is alpha?" The bot turned to look at him and then pointed to the robot factory before speaking in a emotionless mechanical voice.

"Alpha is in the control room." Daniel thanked the bot and left it get back to work.

As he walked to the factory one of his kids saw him and ran up to him.

"Hi Daddy." by the sound of the voice it was female and Daniel could not help but smile when he saw her, he always felt like he could not help smiling when he was with them, it was a creepy yet nice feeling.

"Hi, where are the rest?" He looked around to try and find them.

"NINJA!!!" He looked to the side to see one more jump out just as it shouted that, it almost gave Daniel a heart attack and they giggled when they saw this. "I got you there daddy." By the sound of the voice this one was male.

"Yes you did you little sneak. Also where did you learn what a ninja was?"

"I asked alpha what is something that is known for stealth and surprise and out of the things he told me, ninja sounded like the most awesome." Daniel remembered how when he made alpha he gave him the knowledge of most things like science, physics and other things, history must also have been added so it was likely alpha knows what ninjas are. He decided to get back to why he was here. "I need to go and have a talk with alpha, why don't you both go and play?"

"Can you not play with us later." The one who gave him a fright asked him.

"Probably, I just have a problem I have to deal with right now."

"Ok." With that they both walked off and Daniel continued walking towards the factory.

Daniel found alpha in the control room of the factory just like the bot said and just like last time he was greeted by alpha before he could say a word.

"Hello again Boss." Daniel was not in the mood for small talk.

"Hi alpha, I-I need you opinion on something." He Waited a few seconds before he told alpha about the situation, how Annabelle wants to go back home, what happened to his home and about how he was not strong enough to stop it so when he was don't he waited for alpha's opinion.

"It would be best to tell her the truth as soon as possible, the more you keep it a secret then the more angry she will likely be when you do tell her." He knew alpha was correct, if he withholds the truth for her longer then she might also feel like he does not trust her or is keeping more secrets from her so telling her soon might be the best option.

"You are probably right, but how will I tell it to her?" He wondered as telling someone that their parents are dead and home destroyed a few days after it happened would scar them.

"She is your sister, you will know how to tell it to her." Daniel took down his hood and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Thanks alpha." With that Daniel was about to headed back to leave the lab when he remembered something. "Hey alpha, call my kids here, will you?"

"Certainly." With that a hatch on alpha opened and what looked like a small satellite disk came out. after a few seconds Daniel heard them approaching the factory and soon all 12 of them were in the control room. When they were all in the room he decided to go along with a plan he had thought of previously, he used his powers to made multiple spray cans appear then looked back to his kids.

"I am sure you wonder why I called you here, well this is why. I realised I have not given you all names and because you look indistinguishable from each other I have these can here to give you each a unique appearance. You can all go and choose what one you want." With that all his robot kids looked at the cans for a few seconds before one of them went up to the pile of them and looked over the different colours.

"This one." The robots voice was male and he held up a purple spray can, Daniel took that can and started to spray it around him and by the end instead of silver he was now red. "Thanks daddy." He though it was over and was starting to walk away until Daniel stopped him.

"Hold on." He stopped and looked back. "I still need to give you a name......red.....red.....How about Robert?"

"I like that. Thank you daddy." With that Robert continued on his way and Daniel did the same for the rest of his kids and by the end of it they all had unique colours and names as they looked the same but voice wise they sound somewhat different but it was quite hard to hear the difference to what male one or female one was talking it was easy know when a female or male one was speaking but distinguishing the differences in there voices when I came to the same gender was hard to hear.

"Good now that is out of the way." He was still troubled of how he was going to tell his sister about their parents and what happened to them. He decided to take a walk through the forest to clear his mind so he went to the lab exit and back into the living room, unlocked the front door and went outside locking the door behind him, turned into his shadow form for safety and went towards the forest. the entities

As he walked through the everfree he found it to be quite peaceful compared to all the stories that the ponies made about it, the only thing that was a bit creepy about it was how dark it was but other than that it is the same as a normal forest back on earth of you did not count the magical creatures that lived in it and this made Daniel fell more down when he thought it would help him clear his mind and he still was unsure as to how to tell his sister about their home, he decided to go and talk to Thag about it as he remembered he ended up mentioning to him about what happened to his race and if he is a spirit like he says then he should be able to help him with his problem so with that in mind he went off to the timberwolf citadel.

As he approached the citadel he changed back into his human form and was about to go in until he heard a familiar voice from the side of the main entrance.

"Hello Daniel." It was Scar

"Hi Scar. I don't feel like talking right now and I need to see Thag, sorry if I upset you." Scar's head just tilted to the side before it went back to normal.

"Ok, You will find Thag in the throne room." Daniel thanked scar before he started to walk in but was stopped when scar asked him something. "If you don't mind me asking, what is wrong?" Daniel stopped and thought for a moment, while it was true that he trusted thag he was not fully sure about all the other timberwolfs, he then thought about scar and wondered if he did trust him, he did lead him to the diamond dogs, tell him a bit about the history of this land and besides Thag he was the timberwolf he talked to the most.

"Ok." With that Daniel and scar both walked to the throne room and Daniel told him how his world was destroyed and that he was not strong enough to stop it and that his sister wanted to go back and be with their mom and dad, by the end of it they were standing outside the throne room and scar was looking down at the floor for a few second before looking back at Daniel.

"If you want my honest answer, you should tell her soon as if you tell her later it could make it more unlikely for het to forgive you from keeping this a secret from her. Anyway I have something to do on the top levels of this place, see you later." With that Scar made his way up one of the stair cases. Daniel was standing still thinking as now that was twice that telling his sister soon was suggested by two different sources so now he would asked thag about it and if he got the same answer he would choose to tell her so with that in mind he entered the throne room.

As he entered the room he saw Thag talking to a pony who had a green coat and a white tail with the same coloured hair and her eyes were brown. This confused Daniel as he did not think Thag liked the ponies. When they heard the door open they both turned to the sound and saw Daniel enter.

"Daniel, nice to see you, come in." Daniel closed the door behind him and went over to Thag, the full time the pony was looking at him with curiosity.

"Thag, I  want to talk to you about a problem I have and I don't mean anything bad by saying this but why is there a pony here, I though you did not like the ponies." Daniel heard her giggle when he mentioned that and he looked back to Thag.

"She is not a pony." Daniel looked at her only for her to turn into a bright light and seemed to shift, when the light died down she still looked like a pony but her legs were like tree bark and had vines on them, she had long bright green grass for hair that stopped at the bottom of her neck, roses bloomed where her ears should be and across her back there was flowers of different kinds blooming, her eyes change too as now they looked like they were made of water as they were a beautiful sea blue and Daniel swore that they were made of just water with her pupil was a perfect round bubble that looked like they were shining in the sunlight, in short she was like a tree pony that had lots of plant life blooming on her with eyes made of water and bubbles for pupils, when she transformed the ground around her started to change into grass and different kinds of plants which stopped growing after a few seconds and made a perfect circles around her on the floor.

Daniel stood there looking at her new form for a few moments before she spoke.

"Hello Daniel, or should I say Heart Bearer."  He voice was just as soothing as fluttershys was but what caught his attention was the second name she called him which made him step back and he had wide eyes.

"What did you just call me?" He asked with nervousness in his voice but she just giggled at him.

"I know another entity when I see one." Daniel was getting freaked out by this and by the was she said another Daniel assumed she must be one too.

"What do you mean? Who are you?" Her face that had a smile on it quickly turned into one of confusion.

"You don't know what you are or who I am?" Daniel just shook his head to indicate no. "Well then I suppose I should tell you. I know you are the bearer of the Heart of Life and as such when you merged with it you became a entity as for who I am, I will go by the name your kind gave me." Daniel was now paying full attention but he had to ask something.

"Hold on, what is the heart of life, I was merged with the heart of the universe, also what do you mean by the name my kind gave you?" He face went back to one with a smile.

"Well the truth is us entities don't know its real name so we just call it whatever we want, if that's ok with you, also while I might be the entity of life the name you kind gave me was Mother Nature and I loved it so I chose to use it." Daniel stopped in shock, he was actually talking to mother nature but there was something he wanted to know.

"Ok, well why are you here? If you don't mind me asking and how did you know I was the bearer? Why are you a pony?"

"I am here to meet up with a old friend." She said looking at Thag. "Also I knew you were the bearer as after you merged with the heart all the entities felt it. as for why I am a pony is because I like to blend in here, its not my true form, I can make my for whatever I want just like you." Daniel was still in shock that he was actually talking to mother nature but he decided to now ask Thag what he came here to ask.

"Ok. I need to ask Thag something." She just nodded and let him speak, after Daniel had explained the situation to Thag he was quite as he was thinking for a few seconds before he looked at Daniel and gave his answer.

"I think you should tell her, goodness knows how she will feel if she found out herself or a few years down the line. Plus she has every right to know" Daniel felt like crying because he knew his sister would be heartbroken and that is something he did not want.

"But, I don't want to see her upset." Thag saw this was hard on Daniel.

"Think of it like this. She still has you but if you don't be honest with her then she will feel worse, how would you feel if your last and only family member deceived you for a long time?" Daniel hated to admit it but Thag was right, he did need to tell her and hope that she would be ok in time.

"Daniel how is your sister doing right now?" Daniel heard mother nature ask and felt her place a hoof on his shoulder and also found the ground around himself changed into grass instead of the smooth wooden floor that was there before.

"So far she is doing great, she is cheery and happy." Mother nature thought for a moment before she looked like she realised something and after that she looked a at Daniel.

"Daniel, why did you help the timberwolf and diamond dogs? What were your reasons?" Daniel just looked at her.

"How do you-" He was cut off when she put her hoof up.

"Thag told me but be honest with me, Why did you." Daniel took a moment to think.

"I helped them because they needed it. I am not mean." She just stood there looking at Daniel in the eyes for a few seconds and to Daniel it felt as if she was searching his soul.

"Its because of what happened to your world isn't it." Daniel felt a little pain in his chest.

"No its not." She just shook her head.

"Daniel, I can see it in your eyes, you feel guilty that you could not protect your world so you chose to help both of them out of kindness but also out of guild, you hope that if you can protect them and help them that it will ease the burden of guilt that you have." Daniel did not notice but he actually started to cry and only realised it when he felt a tear going down the side of his cheek that he quickly wiped off. He started to wonder if what she said was true, that he did not realise or think that this whole time the only reason he was helping them was to try and ease the pain of how he could not help his world and if it was then does that make him selfish.

"I wont talk to you about it any further as I can see it is hurtful for you and I can also see why you don't want to tell your sister. But if you don't then this problem will only get worse."

"I know that." It was then that Daniel heard another voice.

"That is why you should tell her soon, so it wont seem like you are hiding things from her and you can avoid her feeling like she cant trust you for a honest answer." By the sound of the voice it was male and when Daniel looked to the side as almost jumped out of his skin, standing there in front of him was a pony skeleton, it was about as tall a mother nature, it had torn cloths but only some was on, most notably ripped bits of black fabric around the holes in its ribs that were blowing in a similar way celestials hair does, it looked like it also had a cape but was torn up a good bit but still flowing like the bits of black fabric, is eyes were totally dark so he could not see inside them and there was some blood flowing from its eyes and down its face. Daniel was shaking but mother nature just greeted it.

"Hello Death." He greeted her back.

"Hello to you to Life." Mother natured turned and looked at Daniel.

"Daniel this is Death, my friend and Death this is Daniel the Heart bearer." Death looked at Daniel.

"I know, I was listening to your conversation." Mother nature then spoke to him again.

Daniel was about to decide he wanted to head back and tell Annabelle to get it over with but then he remembered it was still night time so he decided to stay and get to know them better.

"Is there another entities?" Death looked over at him.

"Yes, there is many more but mostly for us there is three more. One who you humans call father time, Tractus the entity of space and Tilbul the entity of balence." Daniel made a mental note of their names. "In fact they should be here soon to meet you." Daniel got worried that more entities were coming to meet him, mostly for the fact that these guys have no dough lived longer than Daniel and can control their powers. After a few seconds a giant bubble like object appeared within the throne room and lowered to the ground, when it touched the ground there stood three others.

One was in almost the shape of a normal human but it was just in shape, Its left arm was made of lava while the right was made if ice, His left leg was made of water and his right let was made of fire, the right side of its torso was made of rock while the left was made of metal, what truly got Daniel attention was Its head, it had no head but instead there was scales there that seemed to float and in each tray on the scales there was a eyeball and they were looking at daniel. Mother nature walked up to this one.

"Hello Tilbul." She turned to the next one who was a purple human figure with pinprick sized stars everywhere on him shining like diamonds and his head was a yellow sun but his eyes mouth and nose were outlined with orange. "Tractus" She turned to the last one who seemed to be a old human with a white beard but the cloak he was wearing had white numbers on it that were constantly changing with and he was carrying a hourglass when Daniel felt the flow of this power he knew that had to be father time. "Father time." Mother nature finished off her greeting and father time greeted back.

"It has been quite a while, hasn't it?"

"Yes it has. Everyone this here is Daniel, the new heart bearer." They all looked at Daniel and this only made him feel more scared, while back on earth there were people who would do anything to meet entities Daniel was one who would have liked to meet them but with all the recent things that have happened he just felt as all the joy was removed and replaced with stress and pressure, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down before looking back at them only to discover that Father time was looking at him with curiosity, he then held out his hourglass and the sands that constantly fell seemed to scramble and emit a strange light and then settled.

"Wow, you are only 19 years old." All the others looked at feather time and seemed to have faces that asked if he was serious. Daniel got curious as to why his age was of importance.

"Why? Is my age important."

"Not at all it is just you are one of the youngest entities ever. Do you know how to control your power?" Daniel was worried that he would embarrass himself if he said he did not know but at the same time these guys were entities so he did not think that he could lie to them.

"I know how to control some of it."

"Well...How would you like us to train you, not just with your powers but also training as to be one of the cosmic." He heard Tractus say to him.

"What could you teach me?" Death stepped forward to him.

"I do know that you can't bring back the dead, none of us can, but I can teach you something that might prevent it." Tractus was the next to talk.

"I can teach you about space alteration." The next to speak was Tilbul.

"I can teach you about the different energies of this universe." Father time stepped forward.

"I can teach you about time control if you wish and mother nature can help you learn about energy control, these are out main thing but we could also teach you some more in the far future." Daniel actual felt better now that he had teachers that could train him in the correct way.

"Why are you helping me? You just met me?" Mother nature giggled at this.

"Is it wrong to show kindness? Besides you are one of us so why not?" This was starting to become a bit too much for Daniel, right now all he wanted was to go back home and settle down to think about this.

"Look, today has been a long day, I just want to go back home and think about this." Daniel said while rubbing his forehead with hid hand.

"We understand, You did not know about this and with it being so sudden along with what you are going through involving your sister must be putting pressure on you. But before you go take this." Death handed what looked like a necklace to Daniel. "Think of it as a gift from us." Daniel looked at it for a few seconds before putting it on.

"Thanks, Now I need to get back and tell my sister." Daniel started to walk out but was stopped when he heard mother nature.

"Daniel, could I meet your sister?" At first he was hesitant but none of them have done everything so far that has actual mad him not trust them also neither have they done something to get him to trust them but if Daniel wanted to be friends with them then he had to start off somewhere.

"Ok, you can."

"Thank you." She turned around and waved goodbye to the others who disappeared and space was alter into a sphere around them and when it returned to normal they were not there and Daniel turned to Thag.

"Thanks for the advice." He just nodded his head.

"Your Welcome." With that both Daniel and mother nature headed out of the citadel and towards Daniel's home.

Daniel did not keep track of time as when he arrived back at his house it was almost morning so he had to get his sisters breakfast ready, with that he opened the door and sat down on the chair and waited for his sister to wake up, Mother natures was looking around his house but stopped when she saw the bookshelf and asked if she could read one to which Daniel sayed she could so she got a book from the bookshelf to read it, after a few more minutes Annabelle woke up and Daniel quickly made toast and beans appear on a plate.

"Morning Annabelle." She rubbed her eyes.

"Morning brother." Daniel handed her the plate which she took happily and was about to start eating when she saw the pony sitting in the room. "Brother why is there a pony here? You said you don't want us to be discovered."

"She is not a pony Annabelle, she is mother nature." This seemed to spark a reminder into Daniel and when he looked at his floor there was grass and flowers growing on it so he snapped his fingers and returned the floor to normal. Annabelle just walked up to Mother nature with wide eyes.

"Your mother nature?" She just responded with a nod. "THE Mother nature?" She giggle at this.

"Do you know any other?" Annabelle seemed speechless.

"Wow....I...Hi." Now Daniel giggle at how she was acting, he saw that mother nature was looking at Annabelle the same way she was looking at him before and just like him it seemed to be creeping Annabelle out. "I'm going to finish my breakfast." With that Annabelle started eating her toast and beans, when she was finished she went up to her room to get changed like she usually always does.

"She is so happy, kind and carefree. I can see why you don't want to tell her. But it would be best to get it over with."

Annabelle later cam back down the stairs wearing her normal cloths.

"So what are we going to do today?" She said with a smile and Daniel looked at her face as this would probably be the last time he would perhaps see her like this, he then looked back at mother nature who in turn was looking at him and Daniel sighed.

"Annabelle......there is something I have to tell you." Her smile seemed to fade.

"What? What is it?"

"Its about what you asked yesterday. About mom and dad." There was no longer a smile on her face.

Daniel took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "They....they are...d....dead....and it all my fault." Daniel was starting to cry and Annabelle's eyes widened but before she could speak mother nature spoke.

"No it is not, you just were not strong enough to protect them, its not your fault." He just looked back at her angrily.

"I could have given myself up, they would have been safe if I did that!" mother nature was about to say something but Annabelle beat her to it.

"So...mommy and daddy are...are...not, we cant....go....back home? and you...." She said between breaths and when Daniel looked at her face he could see tears flowing down her face and Daniel took her into a hug.

"I sorry Annabelle, I lost all thought of telling you this before because I just wanted you to be happy, like mom and dad would want you to be." After a few seconds Daniel broke the hug and looked at his sister who was just looking at the floor with tears still flowing down her face and her breathing was normal, not to fast or too slow. "Annabelle?" She did not respond to that she just looked at Daniel and looked like she was almost about to say something but just turned around and ran up to her room. When she was gone mother nature put her hoof on Daniel's shoulder.

"Sorry for shouting at you before." Daniel was clearing tears from his face.

"I don't know what I should do now?"

"The most you can, be there for her when she needs you and try to keep her happy, what does she like?" Daniel thought for a moment and remembered that twice he has been here he has caught Annabelle with her hand in the cookie jar and she like cookies from sugar cube corner but Daniel wanted to make sure that he would not make a error.

"Noc can I add any kind of flavour to something even if I don't know what it tastes like?"

"Yes but it will not taste nearly as good unless you have tasted it yourself." Daniel then decided to go to sugar cube corner and get a bag of cookies for Annabelle and one for him so he could make more for her in the future.

"I will go and get her favourite sweet, I know it wont make her happy but hopefully she will feel slightly better, I just don't know what to do."

"She needs time, time can heal almost anything, I mean you must have been cheery before that happened to you world weren't you?" He sighed.

"Yes, and the only things that is stopping me from being a emotional wreak is the friends I have and most of all the safety of my sister. Wait here for a moment." Daniel headed to the lab and told alpha about what had happened and asked him if he could watch Annabelle while he was away to which he said he would but two of his robot children overheard it and got worried for her so they asked Daniel if they could be there for her and he said they could as Annabelle has been happily playing with them before so he hoped they could get her to be happy again. With that out of the way he went back to the living room of his house with his children behind him to find mother nature reading the same book that she took, when he was in the living room he turned to his children. "Ok I will be out for a while, in the meantime your job is to try and cheer Annabelle up and keep her safe if something happens while I am away."

"Don't worry we will watch over her and keep her happy." One who was spray painted gold told Daniel.

"Thanks Gregory." With that Daniel changed into his pony form and started to go for the door that lead to his ponyville house but was stopped when mother nature asked him something.

"Can I come with you?" Daniel stopped and looked at her wondering why she would want to but he was not in the mood to question it.

"Fine, but you will need to change your form." She started to glow and changed into the same pony the was when he first saw her, it was not that Daniel saw her mark in that form and it was a sunflower.

"If you are wondering, I changed it to be less suspicious, this mark indicated I am goo with plants." With that done they both went to his ponyville house and into ponyville, along the way she asked about who those robots were and when Daniel told her that they were his kids she was confused so he had to explain everything, from making alpha and from him making the robots from his blood. "Don't you think you are a bit young to be a dad?"

"Hey." He looked around to check no one was close enough to hear him. "Annabelle is there auntie." She almost burst out laughing.

"That must have been a shock."

"Yes it was, she fainted." Daniel's mood had not changed, he still felt guilty about what he told Annabelle. "I just hope I have not ruined her life completely."

Daniel was then hit by a pony that was rushing somewhere by the looks the pony was a she and she was a grey Pegasus with a yellow tail and hair with bubbles as her mark, but what caught his attention the most were her eyes as they were crossed, when she collided with him they both fell over.

"Oops, sorry about that."

"Its not a problem." He then saw that there was other ponies running the same way. "What going on, where is every pony going." He cringed on the inside after saying that.

"There is a new unicorn is in town and I have heard she is the best magic user in all of equestrian. Even putting on a magic show, we are all going to watch." With that she took of in the same direction all the others went and Daniel just looked back at mother nature.

"A world where everything runs on magic and they run in excitement to see a magic show?" She just shrugged.

"I don't get it either."

"Why don't we go and check it out?" She just nodded at that.

"Right behind you." As Daniel and mother nature followed the crowed they soon arrived at town centre where there was a larger crowed and Daniel saw his friends in the crowed and when spike saw him he told twilight who waved at him when she saw him and so did the others so he did what was polite and walked over to join them.

"Hello Cosmos." She stopped in med sentence and had a look of realisation on her face after saying that and then she looked around them. "Where is your sister?" Daniel felt his heart get tight when she asked that.

"She is back home, she is not feeling well." Applejack did not look convinced.

"Is she sick r sumhin?"

"No, she just does not feel right." Applejack let it go but still had a unsure look on her face.

"Oh well I hope she gets better. Who is she? A old friend of yours? " Daniel looked to where twilight was looking and saw mother nature standing beside him.

"She Is some pony I recently met, Why?"

"I was just wondering as I saw her follow you." She then looked at mother nature. "Hello I am twilight sparkle."

"The name is Daisy, nice to meet you twilight." Daniel and the others finally looked what all the others in the crowed were looking at and it was what looked like a small house on wheels. "Oh cosmos, I hope you don't mind but where did you get so strong, after what you did at applejacks farm I looked at some records and so far you greatly outmatch the current strongest stallion in equestria and the fact you are still so young is almost unnatural. Even the others want to know how you got this strong." All of his friend were now looking at him for a answer but Daniel was not in the mood for talking and he was about to tell them when they heard a loud voice.

"Come one, Come all, come and witness the amazing magic of the great and powerful Trixie." The small house unfolded into a show stage and a small flash happened to which a blue unicorn wearing a wizards hat and cape appeared which got awes from the crowd. "Watch in awe at the great and powerful Trixie preforms the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony kind." At this fireworks started to shoot off but Daniel just sighed. His friends were talking about how she was boasting but something caught his attention and that when spike stopped talking when he was just about to say no pony is as magical as twilight and instead ran off, he then noticed twilight looked uneasy when she asked if there was something wrong about being talented and applejack reassured her there was not.

"Just because one has the ability to preform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us." Twilight looked somewhat upset from what rarity said and Daniel made a mental note to ask her about it later on, he heard rainbow mention about how they have her around being better then the rest of them but she quickly changed that after a look from applejack and ended up booing Trixie.

"Well, Well, Well, It seems we have some naysayers in the audience." Daniel swore what she said was so bad I just gave him a headache. "Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical ability of the great and powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they are in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of equestria?" Rarity asked twilight who Trixie though she was and then spike started to speak but was stopped in the middle of it by twilight and then she lead him away from the crowd to talk to him.

"Why not just deal with her right now?" Daniel heard a voice in his head, a voice he only recently knew so he looked at mother nature.

"How are you-" He was interrupted.

"Its telepathy. Why not deal with her right now?"

"I don't want to be discovered and also all she has done is weak magic tricks and talked, her magic is that of a amateur at best so do you think is she worth it?" Mother nature looked at Trixie for a few seconds before looking back at him.

"I suppose your right." More fireworks went off on Trixie's stage and rainbow flew up to her after they were over and asked her why she thinks she is so awesome to which she just laughed.

"Why only the great and powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the breaded ursa major!" More fireworks shot off but left what looked like a outline of a bear in the sky which left the crowed in awe as Trixie then explained how she saved hoofington from the ursa major and sent it back into the everfree and after that story two very young colt started to say about how she is the most awesome unicorn in all of equestrian but spike started to speak again and twilight looked at him and looked like she was scared, spike continued to talk but was stopped by twilight zipping his mouth shut when he starting to mention something about twilight, Now Daniel decided to ask her about it as soon as possible and not in a crowd.

"It is true my enthusiastic little admirers, Trixie is certainly the best in all of ponyville." All that was hear was chirping crickets after she said that. "Don't believe the great and powerful Trixie? Well then I hereby challenge you ponyvilliens, anything you can do, I can do better. Any takers? Any one? or is Trixie destined to be the greatest equine who ever lived." More fireworks shot out from her stage and spike just unzipped his mouth and begged twilight to show her, twilight was whispering something to spike but Daniel managed to hear it.

"There is no way I'm going to use my magic now spike." She was going to say something else but was cut off by Trixie speaking.

"How about....you." She pointed to Daniel who's face did not change. "Well how about it, is there anything you can do that the great and powerful Trixie cant?" She had a very confident smile but Daniel said nothing, Trixie moved along to applejack who snapped after she got called a hayseed and she challenged Trixie as the others cheered her.

"Can yer magical power do this?" She was spinning a lasso on her tail and jumping through it multiple times, from left to right and top and bottom and for her finisher she used it to get a apple out of a tree which he just ate right away and the crowed cheered but when applejack said to Trixie to top it to which she just called her one of little talent and used her magic which used applejacks own rope to tie her up and place a apple in her mouth while she was tied by her four legs and upside down, after that the crowed cheered for trixie.

Rainbow dash said to Trixie that there was no need to show off like that because that was her job, rainbow dash then took off at full speed into a windmill which went faster and faster and after a few seconds she was shot into the air to which she went through multiple clouds and then flew in front of the sun, she then rushed back through the holes on the clouds she made at full speed right back to the mill which sent her back to the stage all the while water was following dash and when she stopped on the stage the water behind her hit her back and a rainbow appeared above her.

"They don't call me rainbow and dash for nothing." The crowed cheered for dash.

"When Trixie is through, the only thing they will call you, is loser." With that she used her magic which cause the rainbow to wrap around dash, spin her like a tornado and sent her into the air flying everywhere, when she landed her eyes were going everywhere and Trixie made a cloud appear which struck the ground with lightning which scared dash and the crowed laughed at her.

His friends were talking and agreed on they needed a unicorn to show her who's boss and while spike was looking at twilight, rarity was the one to agree and step in and mention about how she uses beauty and grace but Trixie just insulted her by calling her hair a rats nest which made rarity do a nice serious face, she then went on stage and said about how there was more to magic that Trixie's brutish ways and she then used her magic to take a curtain which she wrapped around herself and seconds later she was wearing a nice dress and had a cool hairstyle, Trixie smiled and powered up her magic and when spike saw this he went on about how rarity wont let Trixie get the best of her because she is strong and beautiful but he went silent and the crowed gasped with shock and some with disgust when they saw that Trixie turned rarity's hair green. Rarity was freaking out about it and while the others were saying nice things like nothing was wrong with her hair, it is nice or it is gorgeous spike just flat out told rarity it was green and that got him looks of anger from the others. Rarity ran away crying and saying her hair was awful which seemed to insult one of the ponies at the back.

"Well Twilight I guess its up to you." Spike told to twilight and indicated to Trixie with his hand. "Come on, show her what you are made of."

"What do you mean, I am nothing special."

"Yes you are, your better than her." Spike was trying to encourage her to challenge Trixie.

"I'm not better than anyone." Trixie started to walk towards twilight.

"You think your better than the great and powerful Trixie? You think you have more magical talent? Well come on, show Trixie what you have got. Show us all." Twilight was looking very nervous now.

"Who Me? I'm just your run of the mill citizen of ponyville. No powerful magic here. I-I think I hear my laundry calling, sorry got to go." She rushed off after that and Daniel followed her to try and help her if she had a problem.

"I will be at sugar cube corner Cos." He heard mother nature say to him as he went off.

He found her at her library and he chapped the door to which she answered.

"Hello? Oh hi cosmos.." She said with a smile.

"Hi, twilight do you mind if i come in?"

"Not at all." She stepped to the side and held the door open, when he was in she closed it.

"Twilight, is there something wrong?" She had a nervous smile.

"Wrong? What wrong? There is nothing wrong." She said a bit fast which cause him to sigh.

"Twilight, we are friend, you could tell me or the others and they would try to help you, if you don't want to talk about it then that's ok by me." Twilight stopped to think, so far cosmos has helped her and her friends with a few problems like with the tickets and he did help fluttershy after what happened between her and Gilda so he might be able to help with this.

"Or he might think I am a show-off, but he is my friend, he and the other would not be that mean, could they?" Twilight asked herself in her thoughts all the while Daniel was waiting patiently then twilight took a deep breath.

"You were afraid to show your magic, is that it?" Twilight was taken by surprise by this but he continued "A good few of our friends challenged Trixie but you did all you could so you would seem like a normal unicorn, every time spike tried to say how good you are with magic you silenced him.....you were scared that your friends would see you as someone else or like Trixie who is a show off if you beat her so you were afraid to show your magic. Twilight did you forget you represent the element of magic?" Twilight totally forgot about that, that she did represent that element and Daniel saw her eyes widen until they were like dinner plates. " I know how if feels to be seen as something different because of what you can do, but friends don't abandon you, true friends stay with you through thick and thin and besides did you not hear applejack properly? She said there is nothing wrong with being talented, just don't show it off and you don't. I guarantee that if you confront Trixie and show her what you can do your friends will not think of you as they think of Trixie."

Twilight did not know what to think but while she was thinking Daniel realise he accidentally said something he did not mean to, he left it in hopes she would forget about it as erasing memories is something he does not know how or if he did then not without side effects yet, after a few seconds twilight sighed.

"I guess I will try to stop Trixie, I just hope you are correct." She was uneasy with her words but then her eyes widened in realisation and then she looked right at him. "Cosmos, what do you mean by you know what it feels like to be seen as different because of what you can do." Daniel's heart was beating fast, she did not forget or let it pass, he had to say something but he did not know what so he decided to be honest.

"Every pony has things they would rather keep buried, please don't ask me about it again." Twilights ears seems to go down at this.

"Ok, well thanks anyway." Twilight headed for the door and when she opened it spike was standing there.

"Twilight why ar-" He was cut off by twilight.

"I am going to stop Trixie, I just hope that what cosmos said it true." Spike looked over to cosmos and after a few seconds he gave him a thumbs up with a smile before he followed twilight.

"Cosmos are you coming to watch?" Spike asked.

"I am going to meet up with daisy then I might be go and watch." Daniel said as he left the house as well and went to sugar cube corner to meet up with mother nature.

He found her at one of the tables eating away at a cupcake, he decided to sit down and have a talk with her as well as have one of the cookies Annabelle loved so much so he could make more for her, the moment he took his first bite of it he felt like he could have melted at how lovely the chocolate tasted, mother nature just watched him with a smile.

"They taste good, don't they?" She asked.

"Lovely." He said as he continued to eat it.

"So how did the talk with twilight go?"

"I managed to convince her to show Trixie what she can do and told her that her friends would not mind of her powerful magic." He said after he just finished eating.

"Well that is true, if they are true friends then they would like her for who she is, not what she can or can't do." She finished her cupcake and got up like she was ready to go. "Are you coming too, I want to see Trixie's face when she is beaten in magic."

"Right behind you. Lets go." With that they both took off to see twilight confront Trixie. But along the way they saw twilight running the other way so Daniel and daisy followed her to the park bench where she was rubbing her tail and lying down on the bench. "Twilight what's wrong?" he asked with concern in his voice.

"Cosmos? daisy? How did you-"

"We were on our way to see you confront Trixie when we saw you running the other way, did Trixie beat you to?" She looked like at both of them.

"I just cant do it. I don't want them to hate me." He just sighed at this.

"All I can do is give you some advice, but the only one who can stop this fear you have, is you." Daniel decided to head back home after that to check on his sister, along the way him and mother nature talked telepathically.

"So How did you and Thag become friends?"

"It was when I first arrived here, scouted out the everfree to make sure it was safe for Annabelle and when I met a group of timeberwolf and told them I was a human they insisted on brining me to their leader, I help him and the diamond dogs settle a argument and the rest is history." They arrived at Daniel's house then went to his everfree house from the door in the basement, when they got to the living room he saw his robot children there doing anothing and they looked bored. "Hi." They all looked over at him happily and then rushed at Daniel and into a hug. "How is my sister?" This seemed to make then upset.

"She has not talked to us and still has not came out her room once." The same golden one from before said.

"I will go and check on her." With that he went up the stairs and towards Annabelle's room and chapped the door. "Annabelle?" He got no respond and he tried the door only to find it was locked, he thought for a moment and got a idea, he alter space around his eyes and was able to look into the room and he saw her lying down on the bed under the covers but she was still crying because around her eyes were red and the her pillow looked damp. He returned his vision to normal and was about to speak to her through the door but decided he should not. "I have done enough damaged for one day. Perhaps even a week." He felt guilty for causing her to become the way she was but there was nothing he could do as he could did not know if he could or if he could then how to alter memories or emotions and he neither would want to as he would want his sister to be happy but not by him doing something that is more or less forcing her so he went back down towards the living room and saw mother nature playing with his kids at checkers and she was winning, he just entered the room and sat down.

"How is she daddy?" A orange one asked.

"Physically she is fine Orion but not mentally and emotionally so its best you leave her along, she will get over this in time, Hopefully." Daniel saw down and put on a cartoon to watch, he was not bothered by what it was and frankly he did not care.

"A few hours passed and it was now night time, Daniel had tried to get Annabelle to eat something but she just refused to come out of the room or eat the food that he left for her along with the cookies, mother nature had went back to where ever she and the other entities hung out and his kids went back to the lab, Daniel was now alone in the living room and in almost complete darkness with the only light being the one that was coming off the TV as Daniel lay there on the couch wondering what to do and how he can cheer his sister up.

"Alpha and my kids are probably busy working, my sister is asleep or still sad and all my friends are asleep." Daniel walked to the bookshelf to get a book to read when he stopped and looked out the window after seeing the night sky, it was a beautiful dark blue with the stars shining like diamonds, this is when he remembered he should learn more about controlling time to finish off his pocket dimension. "Mom and dad would probably be very disappointed in me right now if they knew about everything that has happened. He choose a book and was walking back to the couch to read it when he heard a faint roar from the basement, he knew it was coming from his ponyville house so he got up and quickly went there and changed his form before exiting the house only to see a giant blue bear with what looked like stars on it attacking ponyville, he ran through a crowd towards it and soon met twilight.

"Twilight, what is that?" He asked he while still running.

"Its a ursa." Daniel looked at it as this is the thing Trixie clamed to stop but she was not around so Daniel assumed she must have been nothing but talk. They kept running until they came across two colts.

"What's going on?" twilight asked them.

"We drought a ursa to town."

"You what." She said in shock.

"Don't worry the great and powerful Trixie will vanquish it." They looked at Trixie who was looking scared.

"I can't." she said with her head lowered towards the ground and this surprised the two colts who both said what at the same time. "I can, I never have, no one can vanquish a ursa major, I just made the whole story up to make me look better."

"Made it up?" They said at the same time. They heard thumping and Daniel looked behind him to see the ursa behind a building, standing on its top legs and it let out a loud roar, Daniel did not know what to do, he could deal with the usra but he would need to be in his shadow form and then he would have to take into account that ponies would now know that the shadow knows where ponyville is, as he looked around at all the ponies in town and back at the ursa his mind was set and he decided to deal with it. He set his powers to the use of thought and then used them to make space bend around him so it looked like he was just standing there and ponies did not see him turn into his shadow form and leave his pony clone there.

Then moved up to the side of a building before deactivating the field, he then climbed to the roof of a building and was ready to deal with the ursa but stopped when he saw twilight in front of it with a determined look on her face, twilight looked like she was just about to ready her magic when she saw him and her eyes widened.

"THE SHADOW!!!" She screamed and pointed at Daniel who sent his clone a command to look at him like the others and it did, he did this to avoid suspicion for when he is his pony form in the future, the ursa turned to Daniel and looked at him for a few seconds to which he just stared back at it with narrowed eyes, the ursa roared at him to which he just jumped down in front of it and did not move. After a few more seconds the ursa tried to hit him with its paw to which Daniel used both of his hands to stop it, he thought he would need both but he barely felt anything from the ursa's attempted attack so he hit its paw with one of his hands which seemed to hurt it, it tried to use its other paw but Daniel blocked it like the other one but use only one hand this time but he felt he needed to put a bit more strength into it than last time when he used both of his hands, he then hit that paw away only to jump up and kick it in the stomach which knocked it a good bit away.

Something strange happened next, the ursa started to cry. Daniel got confused with this so he used his clone to talk.

"Twilight, why is it crying?" Daniel tried something and found he could see and listen to what his clone can but the sight if what the clone could see what transparent so he still could see where he was and what his clone heard sounded like a echo but he found it useful, his attention was caught when he saw a transparent scared twilight.

"Oh No, this is bad, this is very, very bad."

"How is it twilight, the shadow thing is dealing with the ursa major." He know that voice and it was rainbow dash.

"Its a minor, not a major and right now it is calling for its mom." Everyone gasped at this and Daniel felt guilty of doing this to a child, a huge child but a child none the less.

"Then...what do we do." He heard rainbow say as twilight looked around and she seemed to have came up with a idea.

"I have a plan, but It needs to happen fast, I might know how to stop the ursa from crying but I need you guys to distra-" She did not get to finish the sentence.

"How dare you, HOW DARE YOU!!!." Daniel saw fluttershy walk up to him from his clones view so he turned around to see her and their eyes met. "You should be ashamed of yourself, hurting a baby ursa like that." As Daniel looked into her eyes he started to feel guilty, he looked back at the ursa then back at fluttershy. "You think you can just beat up anything and get away with it?" It was somewhat scary to look into her eyes now and the more he did the more guilty he felt for hurting the ursa, Daniel saw through the vision of the clone that twilight has silenced the ursa minor by giving a water tower that was full of milk and it was drinking it happily while she was levitating it away.

"Come on." He heard twilight say who was so focused on using her magic and using it to lift the ursa while the others watched in amazement.

"You are nothing but a bully!" He heard fluttershy shout at him and he almost felt like crying from her words and the look she was giving him. "What would your parents think if they saw you do this?!" With that word all guilt Daniel felt was slowly getting replace with anger. "You go back and apologize to that ursa right now!!" Daniel remained unmoving, he felt like he had no control over his body. "Did you not hear.....me..." Fluttershys voice was not getting more quite as Daniel was now looking at fluttershy in the eyes but unlike a few seconds ago his eyes were full of anger and they changed from white eyes to a bright blood red, he was slowly walking towards fluttershy who was now backing away and she now fear in her eyes.

"FLUTTERSHY!!!" Rainbow dash shouted while quickly flying up to Daniel and kicked him on the side of the head but he barely felt a thing, he turned to look at dash and she was in shock to see her kick did nothing. He turned back and looked at fluttershy who was shaking in fear.

"I-I-I'm sorry if I said something bad about your parents, I did not know, sorry." She was not on the ground and covering her face with her front hooves, Daniel managed to regain some control and tried to calm himself down, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and when he reopened then his eyes were back to normal as he looked at fluttershy who was shaking in fear he decided to forgive her because she did not know about his parents but it wont be so easy if she does it again.

"Guys!!!! Help!!!!" Rainbow still thought he was going to attack fluttershy so she called to the others which resulted in twilight's concentration breaking and she dropped the ursa which started crying again.

The four others were about to go towards Daniel and help out rainbow dash and fluttershy but were stopped by another roar which was much louder than the last one, he turned around to the source of the sound and saw another ursa that was about ten times the size of the other one and its claws and teeth were much bigger.

"Twi, is that...." Applejack asked but did not finish.

"Its a ursa major, the minors mum." The major looked at the minor and when the child saw its mother its changed into a face of happiness but after a low growl sound from the mother its almost started crying and pointed to Daniel, the mother looked at Daniel with anger. It went to hit Daniel and he just managed to stop it but he needed to use both hands to block it paw, this ursa was much stronger and faster which worried him, he felt a pain in his back at its other paw hit him and sent him through a building, he hid in the rubble and waited until the major went up to investigate and when it did he jumped out and kicked it in the jaw which caused it to step back a bit.

Daniel and the ursa stood there with their eyes looked and ready to fight, He was distracted by a bright light that his clone saw and even the ursa turned to look in its direction, it was princess celestia and some royal unicorn gaurds and pegusi also arrived so Daniel used his clone to listen in.

"Twilight evacuate the town, We wil-" She wasted no time telling twilight to evacuate when they arrived but she was cut off when she saw the shadow confronting the ursa major. "Twilight, is that the shadow creature that luna mentioned about." She asked and looked over to twilight who had a look of curiosity on her face.

"Yes it is, but what is it doing here? Much less going up against a ursa major. Where is luna?"

"She is studying and doing her night duties." Daniel saw that the ursa looked back at him so he focused on the here and now and got ready to fight.

The ursa tried to hit him the same way again but he blocked the first one and then jumped to avoide the second one and punched the ursa in the face, which only made it more made and it hit Daniel in mid air and sent him about  seven feet into the ground, he picked himself up and ran as fast as he could to the ursa which left a trail of fire behind him, he got to the ursa in no time and kicked it in the knee which cased it to stumble and with that he ran up its side and kicked the side of its head when he reached it which seemed to daze it and almost knock it over.

Daniel went to hit it again but the ursa punched him when he was in mid air which set him flying and he almost collided with celestia. He got up and so did the ursa, he decided to try something new so he focused some energy into his hand and ran up to the ursa who tried to punch him again, then there fists collided there was a explosion which knocked the ursa over and sent Daniel flying like a ragdoll into the twilights library but luckily he was not going at a fast enough speed to go through it and when he got up his arm felt like it was stinging and when he got up he looked over to where he got knocked from he saw a very angry ursa that was charging at him so he decided to end this.

He did the same as before but added a bit more energy into his fist and stood his ground as the ursa ran towards him, as it lifted its paw to try and squash him he moved back at the last second and the ran up its arm, it tried to hit him off using its other paw but he avoided it and when he got to its head he punched it right in the nose which resulted in the ursa screaming in pain and another explosion which sent it flying to the side of town right next to the everfree, the blast also knocked Daniel back but he quickly regained his balance and landed safely but he could feel almost nothing in his arm he used to punch the ursa with but he ignored that for now and walked over to the ursa that was crying in pain and its nose was bleeding, he sent commands to his clone to watch him the full time like the rest of the ponies were doing.

When he reached the ursa major he saw it had fear in its eyes, his intentions were to get the ursa minor to leave the town but now he hurt them both and he did not want this to continue, all the ponies were watching him and doing nothing else so he looked over to the minor then looked back at the major, he the pointed to the minor and after a few seconds the major got the hint and went to pick up her young, Daniel then continued to look at her until she backed away into the forest and out of sight.

When that was done he walked into the forest and out of sight but when he was out of sight he made himself invisible by altering space around him, he then quickly went back to his clone and put the barrier back up before silently transforming back into a pony, set his powers back to the use of will then got rid of his clone and then the barrier. He was not back in his pony form and by how all the others were still looking at the forest they were non the wiser and princess celestia was the first to speak.

"Well.....I guess that takes care of the ursa." All of his friends looked to twilight and applejack spoke.

"Twi, we knew ye had ability in magic, but not that much."

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"The way you were taking care of that ursa, that was just....wow." Everyone else was cheering for her.

"But I did not take care of it."

"Darling you were until your concentration was broke, such magic is astounding." Rarity told twilight.

"So...You don't hate me?"

"Hate you?" They all asked simultaneously.

"Why what ever do you mean twilight?" Asked rarity.

"Well, I know you all hate Trixie for showing off her magic tricks and I thought-" She was cut of by dash.

"Woe, magic's got nothing to do with it. Trixie is just a loud mouth." All of the others said things that showed they agreed with dash.

"So, You don't mind my magic tricks?"

"Yer magic is a part'a who you are sugar cube an we like who you are, we're proud ta have such a powerful talented unicorn as ar friend.

"And after showing us what you could do with that ursa minor, were even prouder."

"You- you are?" Daniel could not help but smile and twilight looked at him. "Cosmos, you were right." He just giggled at this.

"I told you they would not hate you, didn't I?" Twilight looked like she was about to cry, he heard steps behind him and he turned to see celestia.

"Nice to meet you again Cosmos." All the others were bowing and Daniel decided to do the same to keep up appearance but celestia stopped him and looked to the others. "There is no need for that."

"Your highness. We are awaiting orders." Said a guard behind her.

"Return to you duties in canterlot, I will be along shortly." With that the unicorns teleported away while the pegusi flew. "I am sorry, I cant stay for long but I wish to ask you something cosmos."

"Anything princess." She giggled.

"No need to be so formal, just celestia will do, anyway in twilights friendship reports she has mentioned you quite a bit, she has mentioned about your knowlage on friendship and how you have taught her a thing or two, What I wish it ask is, how do you have such knowledge of it?"

"Knowledge of friendship? I just comes while I hang out with my friends, friendship is something that is better experienced than read about as there is some knowledge out there that you cant find in a book." He cursed himself inward as he sounded like he was giving a cartoon speech.

"You also seem to be quite wise, I have a feeling that you and twilight will remain great friends."

"I will write a report on what I learned today." Twilight mentioned and with that celestia nodded and charged up her magic, Daniel stepped away.

"I hope to see you all soon." With that she teleported away and Daniel spoke.

"Well I am heading back home, it is still late so see you all." He all heard them say bye as he walked back to his house, when he was back he went to his everfree home, changed his form and went up the stairs to check on Annabelle, he saw that the food and drink he left for her along with the cookies were still untouched, this worried him so knocked on the door. "Annabelle?" He listened closely and he could hear her breathing so he decided to leave her, He stood in his living room unsure of what to do as he did not feel like doing anything so he lay down on the couch and went to sleep.

A few minutes earlier

When he was back home the others were heading back home too and when twilight got back home she was so happy that her friends did not hate her for her magic, she hopped up and down saying yes over and over but stopped when she heard spike.

"Twilight, its late, can you not wait until morning?"

"Oops, sorry spike." With that she went to her bed with a happy smile on her face.

"Cosmos was right, my friends did not hate me, not only that but they accepted me they did not mind I hat so much magic, I am so happy for that and now Trixie is out of town so we don't have to put up with her boasting."

As she thought of that she heard some words were ringing in her head and it was what cosmos had said.". I know how if feels to be seen as something different because of what you can do. What did he mean by that?" It was then that twilight started brainstorming to the meaning of his word. "Could it be his strength? Where he was from what he seen as a monster or a freak by how strong he was?".

She remembered he said that there was something's he wanted to keep buried so she respected his wish but she could not help but feel like she should do something to help him if that was the case as he has helped her and their friends quite a bit. "I get the girls together and let them know, hopefully if there is something troubling him we can find out what and help him with it. I mean that is what friends do.". With that she closed her Eyes and went to sleep.

Luna had just finished helping a pony by banishing the killer muffins in her dream and was now once again wondering the dreamscape, she was looking around to see if she could find the dream of one of the strange creature she has seen for the past few days and after a while of searching she found one, by the sound that was coming from it this one was of the younger one she had seen more often than the other one, she was deciding if she should enter the dream of not as last time she did when she saw a nightmare and it turned out to be the dream of the other creature her magic was temporarily weaker and while that did not seem so bad she was worried if she kept doing then the effects might get worse but before she could decide she heard a loud laugh coming from somewhere else in the dreamscape and the voice of that laugh sounded familiar so she went to investigate it.

She found the source of the sound and it was another dream bubble but as soon as she got close enough she realised it right away, it was the same dream that she saw the older creature and while she was still deciding weather of not to try and enter she decided she would as not only would it be mean to leave something with such a bad dream but she wanted to get to know this creature more and the older ones dreams appeared very rarely so she used her magic once again and entered the dream.

When she arrived she found herself in the same town as before only the darkness that was eating everything was nowhere to be seen and it was almost night time so luna wondered why this was a nightmare until she heard a explosion in the distance and also discovered that the dreamer was in that direction so he headed that way and soon she saw a familiar figure, King N, if that was the tall purple creatures name was fighting another creature that if she remember right was called Daniel. Luna made a note to ask for the name of his race if she could. King N was currently shooting a red beam from his arm and Daniel seemed to be blocking it with a barrier.

"This would be so much easier if you just gave me what I want." King N said as he stopped his bean and punched Daniel which broke his barrier. "You are pathetic. No wonder you could not protect your parents." Luna saw Daniel getting very angry but what happened next surprised her, dark mist started to surround Daniel and before luna knew it she was looking at the creature she called the shadow and Daniel faded into the darkness of the night but King N just laughed at this.

"You can't hide from me." He pointed his arm to the side and shot another beam which hit Daniel right on the chest and his shadow form dispersed, as King N walked over to him he got and stood in from of his sister.

"Annabelle, stay back." The little one seemed to be unmoving and stood in place looking at the ground. "Annabelle?" She turned to Daniel before lifting her head to face him and when she did luna saw her face, Her pupils were bright red and all around that was pure darkness and blood seemed to be flowing from here eyes.

"You....You failed them." Her voice echoed through the dream. "You could have saved them, you could have given yourself up but you did not." Two other creatures just like Daniel and Annabelle appeared behind her.

"Mom, Dad." Daniel tried to reach them but they just pulled away.

"Stay away from us, You're no child of ours. Ever since you came back you have been nothing but a freak." Luna was shocked that something's own parents would say something like that to their child. Daniel was starting to cry and King N Stepped forward.

"You see, You have already lost, now give me the Heart of the Universe and I might just spear them." Luna decided to take action now.

"Step away you vial creature." King N just laughed at luna.

"And you are going to stop me, Ha."

"Torment this innocent soul no more, be gone from this dream." With that luna fired a blast of magic at King N who disintegrated on contact and she did the same with the other three that were there before turning around to face Daniel, She felt her magic was starting to get difficult to maintain so she decided to try and make this quick, Luna chose to be careful as if this creature was the shadow and that was not just something made by its sub consciousness then making him angry, if it is a he and by the sound of his voice and name he is a he, then it could be quite bad.

"Gree-Hello, My Name is Luna." She was about to say greetings until she remembered that hello and hi are more commonly used to greet in this generation. This time she got a good look at Daniel, he had dark hair, his eyes were blue and the cloths he wore were a black hoodie, shoes and blue trousers.

"Dream?" He asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, your dreaming, why?" What happened next shocked luna, Daniel made a knife appear and was about to push it through his chest. "WAIT." She shouted but was to late as when the knife touched him the dream collapsed and luna was pushed back into the dreamscape yet again. "Why did he do that?"

Daniel woke up from the couch breathing heavily.

"Wow, what a nightmare." He thought over what had happened in his dream until he remembered the part where luna was in it. "What was she doing in it? How did she know it was a dream?" The more he thought about it the more it seemed like a normal bad dream but Daniel never has a dream where something mention it is one with him still in it so he was starting to get suspicious. "It could be the stress is just getting to me, but then again I need to take into account that it might not me". He then had a realisation. "Crap, if she can enter dreams then she must have seen what I am wearing. That means I need different cloths, but...my kind of cloths might be different from theirs. Great that means that when I change form from now on I need to give myself my cloths back." He then had another realisation and remembered more about the dream. "What about my mark, if they see it that will be bad as luna probable heard about the Heart of the universe and if she sees this mark it could expose me." He put his hands on his face and started to think. After a few minutes he had a idea. "That just might work."
