"Aj, why the hell did you bring a tree with you on the train?"

"His name name is Bloomberg and he's a gift for my family in Appaloosa."

"Oh, that makes sence." Rarity huffs and looks away. She was complaining how Bloomberg had a room all to himself, while she, and the rest of us. Shared a 'cramped' room where she couldn't get her 'beauty' sleep. Even though the car we were situated in wasn't cramped in any sense. Especially since I am able to make myself smaller. How you ask? Well, turns out I can dismantle myself limb by limb. Just like when that Ursa Minor bit me in half, except that I become a pile of body parts, even my head can come off, but I didn't do that in front of them, I have some plans for that later. Figures that all my limbs have separate power sources. It also makes it fun with Pinks, she likes to play with my arms. NOT IN THAT WAY! NO! Get those dirty thoughts out of your head! Anyway, Pinks somehow put my arms on her barrel, to make them look like wings, it actually looked fucking creepy. I told her to never do that again. After that she used my arms to scratch her mane. Apparently it's just like scratching a dog in between the ears for ponies. Pinks fucking loved begin scratch behind the ears when I did both ears one of Pinkie's hind legs started thumping the floor. Everypony, even me, were surprised that I can do that by scratching behind her ears. Then EVERYPONY wanted a turn, even Rarity. Thankfully the train slowly came to a stop, at Appaloosa. I pulled myself together and we all got off the train. Pinks and Skittles get out looking around suspiciously.

"Someone stole the tree?" I whisper when i'm close enough.

"How did you know?"

"Someone stole mah appletree!"

"It's pretty obvious, even before anypony else noticed."

"Oh...."

"Silly Dahsie!" A giggle fit infects Pinke while I chuckle at the flushed pegasus.

"Anyway, you wanna go look for the thief?" They both nod, Pinkie stopped giggling and nodded, it's fucking creepy how she does that so quickly. Anyway, we head off to where Skittles saw the little buffalo go.


"So that's it huh? The Appaloosans are planting trees on sacred ground?" The chief nods. Before this we found the settle of buffalo and the little one was the only there at the time. After some explanation and introductions. The little buffalo named Little Strongheart. We and the buffalo talked over a meal, me declining the food, I still don't need to eat as a machine. Oh, almost forgot to mention that spike was also kidnapped, and the only thing that stopped them from attacking us was Spike. Heh... I kinda owe him one for that. We're kinda lucky the buffalo respect dragons so much. Anyway, after we were told of their situation, I said that we'll try to see if we can get the ponies to move their orchards.

"Thank you, we will be forever grateful." The chief said. "Take Little Strongheart with you, she can talk with you and the Appaloosans."

"Sounds good enough to me! Lets go!" She speeds off, leaving the four of behind.

"What-" I hold up a hand.

"Three... Two... One..." Rainbow comes back, looking a little embarrassed.

"Ehe... sorry."

"Always the excitable one, come on, lets go. SLOWLY." Pinks, Spike and Strongheart laugh a little. I turn to pony form, didn't feel like walking ahead of them by miles. Also to freak out the tribe. The chief yelled.

"Shapeshifter!" I'm surrounded by them. Snarling at me. My eyes glow red and my body loses color.

*I respect you guys for bravery.* "Why are you doing this?"

"Our ancestors told stories of your kind, able to change form at will, taking over villages and tribes. Just to destroy them and expand their grip over the land. And I will NOT let you take over my tribe."

"You think I am an evil shapeshifter?" I let out a laugh. It got some of them to back off. So I turned back to human form and walked up to the chief. "If I was an evil shapeshifter, I already would've killed you all, just for the fun of it, but alas, I have not. Nor do I want to. But thinking that I am one, that's giving me a reason right now, and the only stopping me from doing that are those three." I point over to Pinks Rainbow and Spike.

"You should know that I am an alien from another world, sent here for no reason, with that I've gained power far beyond your understanding, and I do not want to do anything I will regret. So right now, i'm going to leave this place, in peace, go talk to the ponies of Appaloosa, convince them to move their trees away from your precious stampeding land, and come back here with Strongheart safe and sound. Does that sound good to you?" The chief nods. "Good, take me for an evil being again, and you won't like what happens. Come on, lets go." I blink our little group to the edge of the town, I see the girls, and Bradburn, galloping our direction.

"Don't you think that was a little too harsh?" I look at her, my eyes still glowing red. "Nevermind."

"Ok, what was that?"

"Instant traveling." Just as I say that the girls, and Bradburn, see us.

"Guys! Your ok!" Flutters tackles Pinkie.

"Oh! You're ok! We were so worried!"

"Uh, don't mean to burst everypony's bubble... but, what in the hay are you?" Bradburn points a hoof to me.

"The names Golden Streak."

"Oh! Your that new prince?" I nod. "Mighty nice to meetcha!" Me and him shake hand to hoof.

"Nice to meet you too. Now, I believe there is something we need to talk about. You may come out Strongheart." She steps out behind of a rock. Aj immediately gets aggressive.

"What is SHE doing here?"

"I'm here to tell you that you need to move your trees."

"Ah! I was won-"

"And why do we need to do that?" Aj makes a move to get up in Strongheart's face, but I stop her. "Streak! What are you doing!?"

"You move the trees away from their stampeding ground, or I, will." She shorts.

"And how are you gonna do that?" There was a small, steep mountain right next to us, so I decided to show her how, by digging my hand into the solid rock, a second hand, and pull out a large boulder.

"Like that." I toss the boulder to the side, and watch as it crumbles to pebbles on impact.

"But they worked hard to put those trees there, they need them to feed families!"

"And who said they needed to be destroyed? The buffalo just want you to move them to a different place." Aj's ears fold back and she digs a hoof into the ground. "Why are you so adamant about the trees staying where they are?"

"Because, mah family worked hard to get those trees here. And ah don't want anything to change that."

"Stubborn as usual." I get an idea. "Hold on, i've got an idea."


--------->>>>the next day<<<<---------

"Ah don't know how you did it, but you did, thank you."

"No prob, and that was a good idea, wasn't it?" The ponies and buffalo nodded in agreement. What? Oh yeah! My idea... Well, I may have leveled a mountain, or two. Yeah, I kinda made more room for the orchards, and allowed to the buffalo to stampede on their ground. By completely decimating a few mountains. And let me tell ya, it had to be the most fun i've had, destroying rock to the point of either vaporizing it, or reducing it to topsoil. It was a lot of fun, I got to use my hands, TNT, rocket launchers, and a few bombs. Nothing to go too far of course. After that I single handedly, or with the help of the towns ponies, moved orchards to where there were mountains. Pinkie didn't get to do her little number, but she still did it when we were moving trees. It was actually pretty catchy, after listening to it for hours on end. It wasn't, we all hated it.

"That was actually a good idea, that also means i'm right."

"Right about what?"

"That we needed you here! Duuuh!"

"That's where you fall short Skittles. You said I was needed to be a peacekeeper. And I was the solution."

"It doesn't matter, we're still half right."

"Whatever, i'll see ya guys at Ponyville."

"Wha-" I blink to Ponyville before Aj could finish.

"Hehe. Should've told them I could of taken us there. Meh... It was worth riding that fucking train."

"Ay yo Streak!" I turn to see Vinyl, accompanied by a shivering Octavia, trotting up to me.

"'Sup Vinyl, hey Octie."

"H-how did you know my nickname?" She's still shaking a little, must be intimidated by me. Huh...

"It wasn't that hard to find out." I make a pointed look at Vinyl. Said mare blushes a little. "Yeah, wasn't hard at all." Octie glares at Vinyl.

"What? Must've slipped."

"Anywaaaay... Anything you two need?" Vinyl nods. I raise a brow. She blushes some more, ears folding back.

"We... want you to scratch are manes."

*How the fuck did they find out!? Ugh, Pinkie being Pinkie. Pinkie being fucking PINKIE!!!* "Oooooh, that's why. Alright."

"I said... Wait what? You heard me?" I nod. "How?" I smirk.

"I'm a fucking robot, all my senses are enhanced one hundred fold."

"Even taste?"

"I.... I don't know, haven't eaten anything ever since coming here."

"Really?"

"Yes, but i'll find out later." I wave my hand to urge them on.

"Oh, yeah. Come with us." I nod. They then lead me to their house.

*How come last time I never noticed that the roof looks a giant turntable? And now that I think about it, from a third party view, it must look like a three-way's gonna happen. Fuck... Why did I have to think that?... Oh yeah, never had sex after arriving here... Meh...* Vinyl and Octie lead me to their living room, and they took a seat on a couch, each being at one end, leaving the middle...

"You want me to sit in the middle?" They nod. "Okay." I take the space in the middle. "How did you two even find this out?"

"Pinkie told me."

"Of course she did... Ehh..." I place a hand on Vinyl's and Octie's head, specifically in between the ears. And started scratching. *I just hope this doesn't get too fucking awkward for me.* Octie and Vinyl are quite vocal. They both go 'ooohh' and 'that feels good', a lot.

"Are your ears really that sensitive?" I didn't get a response. *Meh.... Should've known.* We stay like that, me sitting there, scratching behind an ear with each hand. For two. Fucking. Hours. I have absolutely no idea how they stood it for so long. At least nothing went too-

"Vinyl, Octie! Where are y-" Lyra walked in without knocking. "Wh-"

"These two wanted me to scratch them behind the ears, they love it when I do that."

"Oh! Can you do me next!?"

*ARRGH for fucks sake that sounded so wrong!!* "Later. I need to go see if the girls got here yet."

"Bu-" I blink the fuck out a there before Lyra can object. And to the Ponyville Train Station. Just in time too, the train from Appaloosa just arrived, and the girls, including Spike, just got off.

"I forgot you can just teleport us there and back, why didn't you?"

"Reasons."

"And why did you teleport back here then?"

"For fun." The girls give me unamused faces. "You girls don't have my sense of humor."

"Quite true."

"As if you didn't have fun anyway. Oh and Flutters, I think I might be able to turn you into a tree..."

"REALLY!? You-"

"NO!" The other girls scream in unison.

"Ooooh." She sighs in defeat. She looks at me, and my eyes tint blue for a second. A small smile takes her face.

"Anyway... What to do now..." I literal light bulb lit over Pinkie's head.

"I know! E-"

"Some way to pass the rest of the day."

"Oh, I got nothing then." Just then Spike burped up a scroll.

"A letter from the Princess?" She grans it in her aura, and reads it.

"Well? What's it say?"

"It says I have to take care of one the Princesses pets, and nurse it back to health." At that my eyes widen.

"How long is it until the pet arrives?" She looks at the scroll again.

"It says she sent it via teleportation to my house."

"I'll be right back." I blink to Twi's place, and sure enough, the infamous chicken looking thing was there, sitting in a box with holes. I walk up to the box, and with lightning speed, I open it, securely grab the thing, and focused my magic to heal it. Turns out it had Alopecia. Or hair loss, but how can it have that? It has feathers! Must be due to different universes. Anyway, I put the fully healthy thing back into the box before it can escape. I did NOT want to chase the fucking thing around town. By then the gang made it to the library.

"What... did... you... do!?" Twi asked, she was out of breath.

"I healed the damn thing! What else?"

"We kinda thought you did something else to it."

"Wow, I feel so trusted now." Anyone would had to be fucking retarded to not sense all the sarcasm I put in that sentence. "Anyway, I need to give this thing back to Celestia, i'll be back."

"What are you going to do!?"

"Just give Celestia her pet back what else?"

"Ok, -" I blink away before she can say anything else. And appeared in front of Canterlot Castle, in pony form. I walk up to the main gate. When the guards see me.

"Prince Golden Streak, please state your business here." At least he ask nicely.

"I am here to simply return her highness pet back to her, it has been taken care of and healed fully." The guard nods.

"You may enter, have a good day."

"Thank you." I trot in and the gate closes behind me, once i'm out of sight a blink to the courtroom, Tia's usually here. And she is, dealing with the last complaining noble of the day. When I blink in she notices me, but make no move to greet me. *Fucking complaining nobles... At least I didn't have to wait long.* I think to myself when I see the noble leave. I was behind him, he saw me and bowed. But didn't say anything as he left. *Snobbish bastard.*

"Ah, Prince Golden Streak. To what do I owe the pleasure?" I chuckle.

"Oh please Tia. You know you don't have to be formal with me." I chuckles, chuckling actually fits for her voice.

"I know, I just like to have some fun sometimes. So what do you have for me there?" She gets up from here throne and canters to me.

"Oh, nothing, just the pet you sent Twilight, healthy." At that she raises a brow.

"Really?" I nod. "How did you do that so fast?" I smirk.

"A while ago I discovered that I can heal and restore anything." She's still a bit skeptical.

"Really?"

"Look at your pet." And she does so, the box open and her pet is levitated out, it looks like a chicken with all the feathers.

"Hmm... So it is."

*Even she doesn't know what it is...* Tia places the thing back in the box and closes it, firmly. "Even you know what it can do..." I chuckle at her amused face.

"You do too?" I deadpan. "Right, sorry."

"Meh... It's alright Tia. I just wanted it healthy and sent back before it threw Ponyville into chaos."

"It would've done that if you didn't heal it?" I nod. "Hmm... Now I sort of feel bad for sending it to Twilight."

"That's not even the best part. Fluttershy would've decided to do it herself."

"Oh..." Her face falls a bit.

"Hey, don't feel bad about it they've been through worse. You know that."

"I guess you're right."

*Did she just admit that i'm right? Oh hell yeah.* "Welp, I guess i'll leave ya to it Tia, until next time." She smiles.

"Until next time, Streaky." Me and Tia burst out to full blown laughter.

"How did you find out my nickname?" I say when my laughter dies down a little. Tia looks at me while still laughing. "Ah... Pinkie Pie. The mare can never be quiet about anything."

"I have to agree with you on that, she's quite the chatterbox."
