"Wow!" I forced out in shock. "This is beautiful!"

I didn't lie. The castle was huge and no laws of physics could reply the question how is it stuck on a mountain.

"It's nothing. You have to see a Crystal Empire!" Peter told me friendly, without breaking his gaze from a castle.

"Well, now we are in Canterlot and try not to mess everything up. Especially you, Harry." Twilight gave me the annotation and added "And you Peter."

Peter laughing, turned around and gave his wife a hard hug, kissing.

At first Twilight tensed, but then relaxed and playing pushed Peter away, smiling.

"What a dushbag you can be, Peter." She laughed and they kissed one more time.

By the time they finished we were already in a city. I pointed them to Sunset and gave a questioning look, if she wants the same, I'll be happy to be her partner. But she just frowned and turned away blushing. When we were on our way out, Sunset, passing me, slapped lightly my face with her tale, without giving me a single explanation or even a look. Apart from "You deserve it." hint that she told me mentally.

"If it meant you looking so cute when you're blushing, I don't mind." I replied catching up with her and a second later earning a second slap with a tale, this time on the other side of the face. Even though it hurt a little, it made me smile. And looked like Shimmer too.

As we walked together, Sunset, me and Parkers I explored the city.

Thanks to my powers I had a plenty of time. Shops, restaurants and barbers could be seen all around with a mix of civil houses in between. I ran, observing every detail and memorizing the patterns of streets. Canterlot turned out to be a not very big city, but it was definitely high classed. All the ponies were dressed in extravagant clothes and had high manners. I'm used to that. My father was a leader of a huge company and was always surrounded by rich people like him. They were the reason why I dropped out of the private schools. Well, screw them. They were a reason why I met Peter.

Shop, barberry, hotel, wedding, park. After, what it felt for me, several hours of traveling around the city, I knew it all. I was returning to my company when some noise started in my head. Surprised, I exited the speed mode.

"Hay you are?!!" Sunset screamed to me. Ups, I guess they lost me.

"On my way to you, guys. Just had a stroll around the city. Gonna be by you in no time." I finished and before she could tell me something else, I switched back into speed mode and ran towards them. Right turn, left, and here they are. Three ponies looking in different positions, searching for me. I came right behind them and tapped their backs.

"Pick a boo!" I told them back in my normal speed mode, making Twilight and Sunset jump high in air alerted, while Peter and me where laughing on a ground.

"Peter!"

"Harry!"

Sunset and Twilight screamed in a same time and then looking at each other, before joining me and Peter in laughter.

Ponies around started looking at us.

But there is an hour for fun and a time for work. In the end, Sunset hit me lightly in the shoulder after I helped her to stand up.

"You're crazy." She told me mentally.

"You're beautiful." I replied making her blushing turn away.

"Are you coming already?" Twilight screamed to us.

"We didn't disturb you and Peter so don't hurry us." Sunset hissed back at her, a bit lowering her position.

"Girls! Calm down! We don't want to repair the Canterlot just because you have your own businesses." Peter did his great job of convincing ponies. Seconds later both ladies backed off, but still threw angry looks at each other. Not risking to say a word neither me, nor Peter, we followed the ladies and in silence we came to the castle. Castle was surprisingly huge. Around fifty meters high it spread wide into the mountains. Interesting, the castle like that must have dungeons.

"Well, here we are." Said Twilight. "Now all of you don't move and let me conc...."

Not letting her finish, Sunset teleported us into a huge room with a throne in the end.

"Hey!" Twilight was clearly angry with Sunset, but the second just threw

"Thank me later." And walked to the throne where Celestia was sitting.

And there was another Alicorn by her side. She was blue and black colored with night starlike mane that was floating. Even though she wasn't as tall as Celestia there was no doubt in her power. Nether the less she was still very cute!

"Sister, can you please tell me who is that new pony?" The blue black pony asked Celestia, but she just replied

"That's what we are going to find out."

"Sorry, you might not know me. My name is Harry Osborn and..."

Before I could finish my sentence a powerful beam of magic, this time blue, hit me right in a chest, sending me flying into the wall. I felt my back crack. At least it wasn't shoulder. But before I could make a move, blue pony reappeared right in front of me, sending one more beam of energy at me. Even though I was surprised by her warm "welcome" I entered my speed mode trying to escape the beam, but my back hurt badly, without letting me to make a move.

I could see how the beam was coming closer to me. I could feel the heat from it. Well, I guess it will hurt. I closed my eyes before it touched me but nothing happened.

When I opened them again, I saw Celestia standing in front of me. I shifted back into my usual speed.

Celestia send the beam of energy flying away into the ceiling, which a moment later exploded.

"Luna, calm down!" She screamed to her sister.

"No way! He is Osborn!" Luna screamed, focusing her energy in the horn again.

Suddenly, my back made a clack! sending a short pain through me and that way letting me know it had regenerated.

Now I was ready. Before Celestia could see it, I pushed her away from a beam, on a way getting my claws out and blocking with them the magic. This time it was more powerful, but I was ready. It sent me flying into the wall. Or it would if I was slower than the physic laws. But I wasn't! Using the push magic beam gave me I turned around, claws front, and met a wall with my face. Perfectly calculated, I pierced through wall with my claws and flew out on a street facing opponent again.

Adrenaline rushed through my veins as the air rushed into my face.

"You're quick." Mentioned Luna with a smirk. "But nothing I can't deal with!" A magic started glooming around her. First slowly, then faster and faster until it turned around ball of light around her. It started expanding until, the energy flew into Luna. Now, her image became blurry. I came into my speed mode just in time, dashing her attack just in time.

"Let's dance!" She laughed at me.

"You lead!" I parried. With a smirk she leaped onto me. Jump to the right. I dashed just in time. But when I thought that I dashed it, a pain jolted through me sending me flying into the  air.

Luna was right under me, preparing for her next attack. My eyes were full of red and my side hurt badly. Later, Harry! Concentrate! She is fast. She has magic powers and she can kick your butt if you won't do something about it!

"You wanna dance? I'm going to give you a dance!" I screamed, on my back mind raising my speed. Sweat started pouring from me, but I did it! It was hard being this fast, but it was also very tiering. Concentrate! Lower physics, you are God! I had a plan. I didn't want to injure Luna, but I couldn't let myself get hurt even more. It was tiering. So I chose to take her out without harming her. I ran around her. Faster and faster and faster. I was starting to feel the pressure, but it didn't matter. Faster and faster I ran, without letting Luna make a move.

Slowly, a small hurricane started appear behind me. Faster Harry! I was getting tired. Doesn't matter! Continue running. Can't... No more...

I dashed aside from the hurricane that was now around Luna and stopped, literally falling out of my speed mode and feeling the gravity's pull again. I stood, looking the hurricane. Slowly, it disappeared, revealing emptiness inside it.

"Oh crap.." Was all I could say before powerful blue blur pierced me to the ground.

"Any last words, Osborn?" She asked concentrating on energy in her horn.

"You dance well for a pony." I laughed, earning a surprised look from Luna, but a second later it was gone.

"Die then." She said, letting go of the energy from her horn.

"No!!" A sound faded away, but an image of Sunset Shimmer stuck inside my head.

Second later... nothing happened.

I opened my eyes, realizing that I was still lying on a ground.

I looked around and saw Luna standing aside with weird look on her face. Then, slowly turning my head I saw Sunset running to me. Peter and Twilight stood back. Celestia was smiling for some reason at a distance.

"I thought I lost you! You idiot! Don't you ever do that again! You hear me? Never!" Sunset fell on me, tears running down her cheeks.

"Heh. If it will mean you hugging me like that I will do it over and over again." I replied her mentally. She hugged me even harder and let her tears run down her cheeks.

"Oh, hush now. I'm still alive as you can see." I told her out loud, earning a sob as a reply. Okay then. I don't mind her hugging me anyway. "Never mind." I added.

I saw Luna smirk at me at some distance.

"Sister, we have a lot of talking to do." She told to Celestia. And then threw at me "Not bad for a kid." And disappeared with her sister, leaving us at half destroyed garden, where already started gathering cleaners.

My body was regenerating rapidly. Bones already returned to their formal position and scratches with bruises were long gone.

Finally, last bone took its place, sending a short jolt through me. Sunset seemed to feel it and let me stand up. When I did, a strong blow made me jerk upwards.

"You idiot!" Sunset screamed and next moment pulling me back into the hug.

Oh these... Girls.
