The End of an Era

Jack's Dreamworld

Jack finds himself walking down a rather dark stone hallway. It isn't the same architecture he saw at the castle in Canterlot, this seems much closer to the castle's he imagined back during the middle ages on Earth. The floor and walls were made of grey stone and felt constricting. There were no decorations or windows, just the few torches hung on the walls as he continued in silence. He couldn't hear anything, including his footsteps as he approached a set of closed wooden double doors. Jack reached out his hand and started to push against them but they didn't budge. He then looked down to see the metal hoops and pulled the doors as he stepped back. Behind the doors there were no lights and the room seemed to open up. He steeled himself and continued forward, the doors closing silently behind him. He walked for what seemed like hours until he saw a light shining down on an empty stone pedestal. He approached it silently and then ran his hand over the flat, empty surface.

"Your will is impressive, but your body is weak. If you survive your trial you shall be trained."

"Who's there?!" Jack called out and turned, looking and seeing only darkness around him.

"If you survive you will be trained."

Jack felt the hairs on his neck stand up and he turned around quickly just in time to see a solid green blast of energy hit him in the face.

Jack's room in the library.

Jack flipped out of the bed and landed on his chest with a loud thud. He quickly opened his eyes, his body covered in a cold sweat as he scanned the dark room. He looked out the window and sighed, seeing as the sun was slowly rising. "Guess I had better get up then... Man I'm going to need another shower after this..." Wiping his forehead he got up and grabbed the same clothes he had on yesterday. At least they were cleaned in the castle while he was in the infirmary there so they were only about a day old. Walking down the hall Jack recalled the dream and couldn't help shake the voice from his mind. It sounded so familiar and dark but he couldn't place it. He was sure he'd heard it somewhere before. Pushing the door to the bathroom open he rubbed his eyes of the sleep that was slowly taking him back over. He felt it was a little warmer in here but shrugged it off as he placed his clothes on the counter. Yawning and stretching he reached out and pulled back the shower curtain to reveal a certain purple pony in the middle of a shower. Water dripping down her mane and body as she turned and looked at him.

Seconds ticked by and then she screamed picking Jack up with her magic and throwing him out of the bathroom and down the hall. "GET OUT YOU PERVERT!" Jack slammed into the wall as the door slammed shut with a few books falling on his head from the vibrations. Jack groaned and slowly stood up and rubbed his back. Great, well this day is starting off with a bang... Jack walked over to the door to the bathroom and called in "Sorry Twilight I didn't mean to barge in, I wasn't paying attention. I'll be in my room till you're done." There was no response so he sighed and wandered off back to his room.

Twilight stood in the shower blushing furiously, if he had walked in just a few minutes sooner he would have caught her in the middle of her most private of acts. Her heat cycle had become unbearable the passed few days and had only a day left before it passed. She couldn't stop her curious thoughts from drifting back to him. If he had been strong enough to pick Fluttershy up, what could he do to her? She shivered a bit and shook her head. No those thoughts were wrong and she had to control herself. She turned off the shower and quickly dried off. She opened the door slowly and peered out into the hall, then slowly walked out and over to Jack's room. She knocked on the door. "I'm out now. Sorry for throwing you."

Jack opened the door sweating a little harder and breathing heavily. "Alright thanks, I'll get a shower then we can get breakfast right?"

"What were you doing in there? Do I even want to know?" Twilight asked, narrowing her eyes. He had better not be doing what I think he was doing.

"I was doing some push ups and sit ups. I figured if I was going to be here the least I could do was get back in shape in order to help out. I'm sure most of my work would be manual labor and I can't do much if I'm weak as shit..." He cast his eyes down. He had let himself go in the passed few years and it was painfully obvious to him how weak he had become. "I'm going to get a shower now." Moving passed her still looking down, Jack shut the bathroom door behind him.

Twilight frowned and watched him enter the bathroom. He seemed even more troubled then he had been last night. She walked downstairs and went to prepare breakfast. She forgot to ask him about breakfast foods so she just decided to get what she always did. A few pancakes and some orange juice. Jack finished washing up and getting dressed, heading back to his room to put his boots on.

You used to do more before breakfast then most people did in a day... Oh how the mighty have fallen.. heh heh heh...

I'll get there again soon, then I'll be rid of you once and for all...

Rid of me? Oh ho ho I don't think so. I'll actually be there to help you then, wouldn't you like that?

If your track record is anything to go off of then no I wont.

"Jack, hurry up, breakfast is getting cold." Twilight called up to him from the kitchen. As soon as he heard that he finished tying up is other boot and walked down the stairs and into the kitchen breathing deeply.

"Oh man I didn't know you knew about pancakes. Hopefully these don't have hay or something in them." Jack said hungrily.

"What's wrong with hay? Oh right, you can't eat it. Well not a problem, there's no hay in these." Twilight sat at the table and started eating. After a few moments of eating quietly Jack spoke up.

"So do you think Spike is still mad at me?"

"Probably but I'm sure he won't attack you since he's cooled down. Just be nice like you were when you first met him and I'm sure everything will work out fine."

After a few more minutes they finished eating. "I'll get the plates this time, it's the least I can do." Jack said, standing up and grabbing the plates. He carried them over to the sink and started washing them as Twilight watched him curiously. This human standing before her didn't seem like he could possibly have been the same one to attack her friend Fluttershy, but she had saw him in the act. It made her wonder how he could seem to be two completely different people at times.

"See something you like?" Jack smirked as he looked over his shoulder to catch Twilight watching him. She blushed and snapped her head away. "N-no just making sure you don't break anything!" She said quickly.

"Mhmm well let's get over to Rarity's. I'm sure you don't want me stinking up your tree by wearing the same clothes day in and day out."

Twilight agreed with a nod and they quickly exited the kitchen and the library. They walked quietly through town as Jack started taking in the sights.

The town was mostly made of wooden cottages with thatched roofs. All of the buildings seemed to be close side by side but they left wide roads between the faces to set up market stalls and allow ponies to travel freely. It didn't seem like a very large town by his scale, however without having a car, traveling from one side of town to the other he presumed it would take at least a decent walk. As Twilight and Jack rounded a corner he saw a very large purple and white building that stood out like a sore thumb. "Holy shit what kind of whackjob designed that?!" Jack said pointing.

"Uhm that would be Rarity's boutique and where she lives." Twilight said trying to hide a snicker. Jack immediately regretted speaking and just face palmed slowly.

Well here's hoping Twilight won't say shit to Rarity or all of my pants would be too small in the crotch...

They soon found themselves at the front door and Twilight let herself in, jingling the bell at the top of the door. "Hello, Rarity?" Twilight called out.

"Yes darling, welcome to Carousel Boutique! Oh, Twilight how good it is to... see... you." Rarity trailed off as she saw Jack enter in behind Twilight.

"Hello Miss Rarity nice to see you too." Jack said, catching the hint she wasn't exactly happy to see him but he decided to play nice since he required her services after all.

"Yes. Quite. Twilight can I speak to you for a moment in private heh heh.." Rarity said dragging Twilight off to the kitchen and out of ear shot.

As the girls left to go do whatever it was they were going to do Jack looked around the floor of the shop. There were plenty of pony sized mannequins.. equiquins... ponyquins..? Whatever they were, there were dozens of them. They all had radically different styles and colors but he could tell that they weren't just thrown together like a bag of trash he figured he would see from a fashion show in his world. These dresses and few suits looked very well made and professional. They didn't seem to oversexualize ponies like some fashion did on Earth to women so he smiled and shrugged.

Well that's two ways this place has better morals then I do.

"Mister Jack," Rarity called out getting his attention.

"Just Jack is fine Miss Rarity. And before you say anything I'd like to let you know these dresses and suits look amazing and very well done. Much better then the garbage back where I'm from."

Rarity just blinked and started at him, her mouth slightly agape. She couldn't believe that this was the same person who had threatened her best friend Fluttershy and he knew about fashion? Maybe she had misjudged him. She shook her head quickly and told herself no, flattery wouldn't get him anywhere. "Yes well.. Jack.. Twilight told me you required some new clothing. Is there anything you would like?"

Jack scratched his beard gently and then nodded. "Well I just want some casual clothing like what I'm wearing now. I'd also like some more socks and underwear. I don't have money to pay you but I'm sure we can work something out by having me do chores and such around here."

"Twilight has already informed me she shall be paying for your clothing. How many sets would you like?"

"Hmm.. well as long as it's not too much, I'd like 6 more sets of each so I have one for every day and I don't have to do laundry as often. Also if you could make the pants either blue or black please."

"Very well then come with me so I can get your measurements. I haven't made anything in your shape before and I want to make sure everything fits correctly."

Jack nodded and followed Rarity behind a blinder screen. "Twilight has informed me of your aversion to being unclothed but I simply must get your correct sizes so please remove all of your attire so we can get started."

Hopefully she doesn't gag when you whip out your little pecker.

Jack started to get undressed, his face turning more and more red with his clothes coming off. He hadn't been naked infront of a female before, pony or not, so he was a little apprehensive. Rarity stood there tapping one of her hooves while he took his time getting undressed and then started taking measurements. She looked down between his legs and smirked as she continued measuring him.

Well she's just laughing at you, at least she didn't throw up on you.

Why don't you just shut up and go to hell. We share the same body you know!

Nope, you're the one with the body, not me, noodle dick!

"Very well you can get dressed, I'll have one set prepared for you at the end of the day so you can try it on to ensure the measurements are fine. If they are you can take it home with you." Rarity said turning around and leaving him alone to get dressed. Jack quickly gets redressed and steps out from behind the blinding screen and notices Twilight talking quietly to Spike off to the side. Jack turns his eyes to see Rarity trot off with her notes and measuring tapes heading into a back room, presumably her workroom. As Jack is preoccupied with walking around and looking around the room, Spike and Twilight come up behind him watching him.

"You're lucky Rarity is so generous you know." Spike says, crossing his arms as he looks up to Jack causing him to turn around.

"Well I suppose it's good that my luck finally turned around then I suppose... Twilight I have a few other things I would like to pick up in order to keep myself presentable. I didn't exactly bring anything with me from my world." Jack says gazing down at Spike and then back to Twilight.

"Of course, all of the market stalls should be open now and we can go get you the last few things you'll be needing. Afterwards we can see about finding you some ponies to help." Twilight said, turning to leave the boutique. "Rarity, we're going now. We'll be back later tonight with Jack so he can try on his new clothes. Thanks again!"

"Ta ta darling!" Rarity calls from her back room as Twilight and Jack leave.

"Spike not coming?" Jack asks.

"No he's going to be helping Rarity the rest of the day again as well. He's still a little upset from last night so we'll just leave him be." Twilight said as she levitated a scroll out from a bag she had on her hips. "Let's see now. You're going to need your own tooth brush and soaps for hygiene, as well as some more laundry detergent since you have clothing that needs to be washed. We'll stop by the laundromat in order to show you where it is after we get the rest of the things on my checklist."

Well she's pretty organized. I didn't even tell her about any of that. When did she have time to come up with a checklist? Jack mused to himself. "Sounds like a plan."

The next few hours were spent by Jack following Twilight around the marketplace. Twilight introduced Jack to a few of the vendors that needed help pulling carts to make deliveries around town. Twilight thought it would be a good idea for Jack to both hold up his end of community service as well as meet other ponies in town, so Jack agreed. It would after all, help him get back into shape and allow him to get some fresh air out from under Twilight's gaze. After all of the details were ironed out and business concluded Twilight and Jack went back to the library to drop off their newly acquired items.

"Hey Twilight, do you think you could get the other girls to come over tonight?" Jack asked, carrying Twilight's saddle bags draped over his shoulders.

"Why do you want to see them?" She said looking up at him out of the corner of her eyes. "You plan on scaring them some more?"

"I already gave my reasons for acting like I did. I regret it and I wanted to apologize, but if you want to keep holding that against me then maybe I should just go back to the dungeons."

Twilight sighed and then nodded. "Alright I can go get everyone after dropping off these things." She pushed the door to the library open as Jack walked in and placed the saddle bags down in the center of the library next to a giant horse head wood carving.

"If it's all the same to you, I'd like to take a nap while you're out. I'm beat. I haven't done this much activity in a long time and I'll need my energy for tomorrow. I can also put these things away and get cleaned up so I look my best."

Twilight looked Jack up and down and then nodded. "Alright, also while I'm out you can put the rest of the books on the table away for me. I'll make sure to bring dinner back for the eight of us. Spike will be back tonight." Jack nodded as turned around and squatted down to start pulling things out of the saddle bags. "I'll be back in a few hours. If everything is done when I get back then you have the rest of the night off." Twilight said as she turned and walked out of the library, closing the door behind her magically.

As the door closed, Jack slumped back onto his rear and put his hands over his face. At least she's trusting you, better not fuck it up.

You're the one who's going to fuck it up so just stay quiet until I get all of this stupid shit done.

Oh and here I thought we were friends Jack... heh heh heh...

It only took Jack about half an hour to put the books away downstairs. He couldn't read the scribbles of pony text so he just shrugged and put them wherever they fit. After putting those away he picked up the saddle bags and carried them upstairs, his legs sore and feet heavy from walking everywhere this afternoon. Pulling the straight razor and some shaving creme mix from the bags he headed to the bathroom for a nice shave and a shower. While in the bathroom alone Jack sighed again as he ran his fingertips over the now white scar around his neck, a grim reminder of how far he had fallen and what had brought him here. He shook his head and then began to shave. His mind went blank as he ran through the motions and showered.

After Jack got out of the shower he looked around and shrugged. Why get dressed in the same dirty clothes again if you're going to take a nap? With that he dried off quickly and walked to his room with a towel wrapped around him and carried his clothes to his room. At least he'd get dressed after Twilight woke him up. He laid his head down and sighed, wrapping up in the covers and closing his eyes, drifting off to sleep fairly quickly.

Jack's Dreamworld

Luna appeared in the middle of the Canterlot throne room after she had noticed a different shape of a dream cloud. Sitting upon the golden throne of Canterlot was Jack. He was slouched to the right side with his right elbow on the rest and right hand in a fist under his chin. His left arm on the other arm rest and his fingers drumming slowly on the edge. He seemed to be either lost in thought or waiting for something. Either way, Luna was not enjoying the sight of such a beast on the throne. She huffed and started walking down the carpet looking up at him.

"Thou whilst remove thyself from the throne, cretin!" Luna commanded.

Jack's eyes snapped to her and he smirked. "Ah the beautiful Princess of Night has come to visit little old Jack."

As Jack chuckled, Luna froze. This wasn't the same voice that she had heard from Jack at the trial, nor in the hospital before. She looked him over again as she was closer and she started noticing the differences. Jack's brown hair was much longer now, reaching down to the middle of his back and laid flat. His body had also altered, he was no longer as scrawny as he had appeared prior, his upper body had much more muscle mass and his waist was much thinner. As Jack stood Luna took a step forward. "Who art thou?" Luna asked.

"Oh is it that obvious?" Jack's smirk became a smile as he started descending the staircase. "Why Luna you're as perceptible as you are attractive."

Luna tried to take a step back but found her body had been frozen. Her eyes started to widen as she found her power slipping away here. She was the one who could control dreams, why couldn't she move? As Jack approached her slowly, he reached his hand out and trailed his fingertips under her jaw. His touch set her nerves alight with pleasure. "Luna, or do you prefer Lulu hmm? I'll tell you this once. This is Jack's mind and I am the one in charge here. He'd like to think otherwise, but I'm the only one who actually looks out for him." As Jack spoke he walked around the left side of her body, trailing his fingers from her jaw, down her neck and to her shoulders. As he dragged his fingers along Luna's body, her breathing became more labored and erratic.

"W-w-what art thou doing t-t-to us?" Luna stammered as her body started to shudder.

"How long has it been since someone touched you like this hmm? You know Jack and I share similar tastes, I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing this to you too." Jack chuckled darkly, dragging his fingers further down her side to her flank. Luna's wings unfurled with her growing arousal, despite her mind trying to fight back. Jack dropped his hand just before he got to her cutie mark and walked around behind her to her other side. "My what pretty midnight feathers you have, I'm sure the stallions are all over you." Jack faded away and then appeared next to her right ear, breathing gently against her and whispering to her. "I'll let you off with this. Stay out. If you have something to ask Jack, ask him in person. Don't come back. If you do, then you will regret it. I'm the one in control here, not you."

A tear fell from Luna's eyes, she couldn't stop her body. She was completely at this new persona's mercy. "W-w-we understand." With that Jack ran his fingers up the right side of her neck and under her chin again.

"Good, looks like Jack has to wake up for a meeting. I'm glad we had this little heart to heart. Also you are very soft." Jack said chuckling and he leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I hope I see you again, I'm sure we could have some fun next time."

As Jack finished his sentence, he and the throne room vanished, leaving just a void of darkness for Luna to stand in. Her mind raced as she turned her head to look around, finding she could move again. Luna took a deep breath and disappeared from the dream cloud. She had to tell Celestia about this, but how much should she report?

Jack's room in the Library

Twilight nudged Jack's shoulder more forcefully. "Jack wake up. WAKE UP!" Twilight then shoved him off the side of the bed, Jack landing with a thud and pulling the blanket with him.

"I'm up, I'm up!" Jack said groggily, opening his eyes slowly to find that he was lying under Twilight with her face leaning down close to his. "Let me get dressed and I'll be down in a few minutes. You know you smell very sweet." He then reached up and patted Twilight on the side of the neck.

Twilight blushed a bit and then stepped back. "T-thanks... Well the girls are downstairs. Hurry up." With that she turned and walked out of the room quickly, pulling the door shut behind her with her magic. Jack sat up and shook the sleep from his mind and quickly got dressed. Hopefully Rarity brought the first set of clothing with her tonight. As he dressed he ran through what he was going to say and how he was going to say it. Soon enough he found himself descending the staircase, hearing loud whispers between the girls, but not loud enough to make anything concrete out.

"Hi Jack." Fluttershy squeaked up as Jack strode across the center of the room to the other girls.

"Good, he's here. Let's get this show on the road already!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, sitting on her haunches with her forelegs crossed impatiently.

"Hi Fluttershy... Rainbow Dash..." Jack said rubbing the back of his neck. After a few moments of silence he took a deep breath. "Well first I want to apologize to Fluttershy for attacking her. I already gave my reasons before, but the fact still remains that it was wrong, even if I was afraid. So, Fluttershy, I'm sorry." He said kneeling down infront of her, looking deep into her teal eyes. Fluttershy looked away a bit, trying to hide into her mane.

"It's alright Jack, I already forgave you. But thank you." She said, looking back to him and then reaching forward wrapping her forelegs around him. Jack smiled and wrapped his arms around her and ran his fingers through the back of her mane and down the back of her neck. After a few moments Jack pulls away and then stands back up looking at the rest of the girls.

"I know you probably don't buy it, but just give me a chance. I want to make things right, but I can't do it with you girls holding grudges. I just ask that you forgive me for this and I understand if it will take time."

The other girls sat around infront of him silently, looking at each other for a few moments. Twilight then spoke up. "Well I forgive you too."

"I do as well Jack." Rarity said, looking from Twilight to him. "I thought you were just a brute until this morning when you left my store. Speaking of, I have your first set of clothing. Do be a dear and try them on. I'd love to see how it looks on you." Rarity then opened up a pink set of saddlebags with a diamond clasp and floated a small stack of clothing over to Jack. He reached his hands out and caught it, looking them over, a smile crossing his face.

"You know, I think this is the first time I've been happy to get clothing as a gift, heh." He quickly turned to leave to get dressed, leaving the girls to discuss what just happened. Rarity had made him a large blue button up short sleeve shirt with a collar. It was a bit formal, but Jack couldn't complain. His pants were black with buttons for the fly instead of a zipper and they were made of cotton instead of denim, but they fit perfectly. He had also gotten blue boxers and a pair of black dress socks that went up to his shins. He decided to leave his shoes off and walked back downstairs to the girls chattering a little louder, and noticeably more chipper.

"Darling that looks marvelous! Come now, tell me how it fits. Did I get everything right?" Rarity said, looking up to Jack as he came down the stairs.

"It's great Rarity. The only complaint I have is that these are more like formal pants then work pants. I'm going to need something a lot more heavy duty for work, but my others will suffice if you can't get the materials immediately."

"Oh Jack, those clothes do look nice on you." Fluttershy spoke softly as she ran her eyes up and down his frame, causing Jack to blush a bit from all of the attention.

"Well since Jackie here appologized, its time for a PARTY!" Pinkie shouted popping up behind Jack's shoulder and throwing confetti on his head.

How the fuck did she get back there?! Jack thought, turning quickly to see that Pinkie was now gone and couldn't have possibly been standing on anything behind him. Jack turned around quickly again after hearing what sounded like a cannon going off to find the bottom floor of the library was covered in streamers, a pink banner and all of the girls wearing different colored party hats.

I'm just as lost as you are Jack...

"Come on Jackie lets party!" Pinkie said bouncing up to him and shoving a glass of punch in his hands. "This is your welcome to Ponyville, congratulations on not being executed, thank you for apologizing to Fluttershy party!"

Jack stood in shock looking around the room as Pinkie put the needle on the phonograph in the corner starting the music. As the music started the girls started dancing. Applejack was doing some form of pony line dance while Rarity was swinging her hair back and forth with Fluttershy. Twilight was flailing about uncontrollably with Rainbow Dash trying to mosh with her. Jack finally regained his senses as he lifted the cup of punch to his lips and took a sip. Then recoiled quickly as he looked into the cup. The punch was spiked with what tasted like cherry vodka that mixed quite well with the rest of the punch. It was just strong enough to burn but it faded quickly with the rest of the punch.

At least Pinkie knows how to party! Let's get wasted! Muhaha!

Yea not happening, but I will get a little buzzed. With all that's happened I'd say I deserve a break at least.

Walking over to the punch bowl and pouring himself a drink he scanned around to find Pinkie at the front door letting other ponies wander in. How did she know that Jack was going to apologize to Fluttershy? More and more questions arose as Jack was quickly surrounded by the multicolored ponies that were curious about their new neighbor. After a half hour of mingling, and a few more cups of punch, Jack decided it was time to go dance. He quickly noticed the phonograph had been replaced by a DJ booth with a strange blue haired white unicorn mare with purple tinted glasses manning the helm... mare-ing the helm? Whatever, he was buzzed and the music was bumping so he didn't pay any more mind to it as he lost himself in the music.

After a few songs, Jack bumped into Twilight flailing about, knocking her over. "Oh shit, sorry Twilight, let me help you up heh.." His face was red from dancing and the alcohol as he leaned over and reached around her, his face much closer to her than it needed to be. As he pulled her up, Twilight's eyes locked with his, her face flushing from the closeness and the feeling of his arms around her. "There we go, good as new right? How ya feelin'?" Jack smiled as he pulled one hand away, the other running his fingers through her mane and down her neck to her shoulders. Twilight shuddered slightly and smiled, nodding her answer. "Good, good. Well, let's keep this party rockin', the night is still young!"

Twilight stood watching Jack dance off back into the crowd, her mind lost to the moment until Applejack nudged her. "Hey there sugarcube, you alright?"

"Mmhmm..." Twilight said nodding slightly.

As the night marched on, ponies started filtering out. The DJ pony, perhaps sensing the party was drawing to a close, or just seeing that it was just Jack and the other six girls, she started breaking down her equipment, transferring the rest of the music back over to the phonograph. Somehow the only thing that was lost in the transfer was the amount of bass and the volume. Jack made his way over to the working mare and patted her gently on the back. "Hey thanks for the tunes. That was the most fun I've had in a while."

The DJ pony looked up and smirked. "No problem bro. I'm Vinyl, nice to meet you." She held up a hoof to Jack, which he took up and shook lightly.

"Jack, the pleasure's all mine."

"Well that's all for me tonight. Oh and before I go, I guess I can play a song for you and your friends before I go. I know a spell that allows the other ponies to hear a song from somepony's memories. Do you have a request?" Vinyl said, motioning her hoof to the phonograph.

Jack rubbed his now freshly shaven chin and then smiled brightly. "Oh yea, oh yea hell yea! I got it right now. What do I have to do!?"

Vinyl smiled. "Alright dude calm down. Just think about the song title and the artist and I'll take it from there."

Jack closed his eyes and concentrated, his face scrunching up a bit from being inebriated with the tasty, tasty spiked punch. The other six girls wandered over to see what was going on, all slightly buzzed and flushed faced. Vinyl chuckled slightly at Jack's face as her horn lit up with a faint red glow, along with the phonograph and Jack's head. As the first few beats of the song started playing, Jack opened his eyes and wrapped his arms around Vinyl. "Thank you so much Vinyl."

Jack stood up and watched as the girls' faces lit up. "Let me sing you girls a little song to show my appreciation. I hope you like it." As the beat picked up he started to snap his fingers in tune with it.

"If the fish swam out of the ocean, and grew legs and they started walking..." Jack ran his fingers down Twilight's neck as he walked passed her. "And the apes climbed down from the trees and grew tall and they started talking..." He pressed his shoulder up against Applejack's, running his fingers across the top of her hat and ears. "And the stars fell out of the sky, and my tears rolled into the oceans..." Jack spun quickly over to Rainbow as he rubbed down her back between her wings from the base of her mane to the base of her tail causing her wings to swiftly pop open. "And now I'm looking for a reason why, you even set my world into motion..." He approached a heavily breathing Rarity and gently ran his index finger around the base of her horn, up one side and then back down another.

In tune with the beat swiftly leaned up against a bouncing Pinkie Pie and wrapped his arm around her, bobbing up and down to keep pace "'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter..." He then slid over and down onto his knees infront of Fluttershy, lifting her chin up gently with his hand to stare into her eyes. "And I'm filled to the top with fear, that it's all just a bunch of matter."

Fluttershy blushed furiously as he moved away slipping over to the door to his two new guests. "'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either. I want to be next to you, Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold..." He circled Celestia and Luna as he sang the chorus to them. Jack then placed one hand under Luna's chin and the other around the back of her neck as he whispered into her ear. "I look up into the night sky, and I see a thousand eyes staring back. All around these golden beacons, I see nothing but black." He released his hold on Luna, spinning around to Celestia and running his fingers down one of her wings. "I feel the weight of something beyond them, I don't see what I can feel. If vision is the only validation then most of my life isn't real." Both Celestia and Luna's wings popped open at his touch.

Jack then slipped forward and picked Twilight up off of her front hooves, holding them in his hands as he pressed his chest against hers. "'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either. I'm filled to the top with fear, that it's all just a bunch of matter." As he sang he swayed her side to side gently, staring into her eyes, the rest of the ponies just watching with blushes on their cheeks and their jaws slightly ajar. Jack set Twilight down and turned to face Fluttershy once again, but as soon as he faced her, he fell forward and passed out, leaving the girls to stare at him and then each other.

"Boy he really knows how to party!" Pinkie giggled as she pulled out a sharpie and started drawing on Jack's face.
