9. Unfortunate News

My eyes shoot open as I felt a weight on my stomach, I looked up to see Sweetie on me. Her eyes looked soft as she seemed happy that I was finally awake, those olive eyes just looking at me as she pushed on my chest.

"I have to say Discord made you look cute as a pony, not that you didn't look cute as a human." I smiled and let out a chuckle rubbing the back of my head.

"Really? I thought I looked average, I felt comfortable." She giggled and nodded before kissing me, her soft lips on mine as her hand brushed up against my chest as it lowered down towards my crotch. Just as she was going to gather her prize I gripped her wrist and rose it up to her face making her blush.

"Naughty girl, were you trying to get something that you aren't allowed to have?"

"Can you blame me I haven't had it in such a long time and it was just there." She says in a cutesy voice trying to lower my guard.

"Even if we haven't seen each other in months doesn't mean you can just grab whatever you want, patience is key." Sweetie pouted and got off of me walking over to the large closet to gather her clothing bending over often so I'd see her soft treat. I sighed and rose from bed and approached Sweetie wrapping her into a hug as I kissed her neck.

"Oooohhhh that feels nice. Maybe we can continue this in the shower." She says suggestively as her hands glided over my chest.

"I'd love to but I don't have any clothes on me." She giggled and ran towards the phone as she did she quickly pushed a few buttons before talking.

"Yes room service I need some clothes. No not female, male clothing I need..." She walked over to me and looked at me before going on her knees and looking at my crotch holding and stroking it a bit before nodding.

"X-large pair of boxer briefs, a pair of black jeans, and white t-shirt. Oh and two hayburgers with a large order of fries and a large strawberry milkshake. Oh of course it's on my card, thank you." She hangs up and jumps to her hooves before kissing my cheek and taking my hand.

"Let's go handsome we gotta get ready, cuz after our shower and dinner you're coming with me to my concert." Being pulled by my girlfriend the two of us entered the bathroom as she got it prepped and ready to go.

Later...

"I'm happy that you decided to permanently stay in Equestria, it's new to find a stallion who'd go through everything just to be with the mare they love." I immediately blushed and chuckled being called a stallion was kind of new, it was mostly because that was more of a compliment on earth.

"Sweetie I gotta ask you, I know you want me to be at your concert but wouldn't it be weird if I went with you. You're a huge star and probably the whole hotel knows you got a stallion with you since you just freakin' announced it when you got those things for me. I'm just wondering if I'll be a hinderance." That made Sweetie furious her glares strong and almost burning as she tackled me to the ground.

"I don't care if the whole world knows about us, and I don't care what they think of me dating someone who loves with all his heart. I want to be with you and that's final!" She shouts as she buries her head into my shoulder.

"Fine fine I'm just saying-"

"Shush like I said I don't care. They can make a big scandal about this I wouldn't care just as long as I have you by my side." She gave a devious smile from above as her lips puckered up and lowered down to my forehead leaving red lip stick on my fur.

"Right, anyway shouldn't you get going in a few hours you are gonna be singing to tons of ponies who love you. Not as much as me but to a certain point." Sweetie smiled giving me a hand, as the two of us had finished up what seemed like a short dinner.

Ponyville...

With Michael gone Fluttershy had told Pinkie to setup a large party for both Amy and Dawn with huge success as many of the ponies attending were happily talking to the sisters, though the sisters happily replied where they were from they couldn't help but be worried about their big brother. They arrived yesterday and still couldn't find him, though Fluttershy reassured the two that he was coming back soon, the two still worried.

"Flutters! Flutters!" Pinkie shouts as she ran towards Fluttershy and the two girls were located at, stopping mere inches away from Fluttershy as she held out her arms in order to calm Pinkie down.

"What is it Pinkie?" She asks

"Twilight and AJ are here, they said that they could only stay awhile, but don't worry I told them they have to meet Dawn and Amy but not using their human names."

"Pinkie no, they'd instantly know their voices! You knew them like that!" She informs her as she snapped her fingers. "This is a disaster!" She begins hyperventilating as the two fillies begin looking at each other and clearing their throats.

"How are you this evening princess I am Hazey Days and this is my sister Icy Glaze, we're honored to meet you." The two fillies gave a bow practicing in front of Fluttershy and Pinkie making the two just stare at them, dumbfounded that the two acted like twins.

"Can you talk Amy?" Dawn asks with a smile

"Mmhmmm it's a little hard but my throat doesn't hurt as much." Amy replies her voice a little raspy sounding a bit like a younger Rainbow Dash. "I never knew talking was this much fun, I was soooo jealous when you had to translate for me but not anymore! I can finally speak for myself!" She happily announces laughing before coughing and reaching for her throat.

"I think you might've over done it." Dawn points out giggling as Amy blushes taking a sip of water.

"Oh here they come!" Pinkie shouts as she grabs the two girls hands and taking them towards Twilight and Applejack.

"Here they are Twi AJ, Hazey Days and Icy Glaze." Both fillies smiled and waved making both mares smile and crouch down to their height.

"Hello girls, it's a bit hectic don't you think, I'm sorry if Pinkie threw too much of a large party for you." Twilight informs with a blush.

"We don't mind Princess, it's actually really fun, there are so many nice ponies. They're always asking where were from and happy to see us." Dawn happily exclaims.

"With your enthusiasm maybe you'll be like Pinkie." AJ adds with a chuckle making Pinkie blush.

"Awww girls you know me so well." Letting out a giggle.

"So where exactly did us come from?" Applejack asked

"Trottingham the two of us lived there with our older brother Silver Lining."

"Oh Ah saw him yesterday, me and Pinkie were workin' on somethin' and he came in with Applebloom." AJ stopped looking a little upset before shaking her head. "Hey Twi can ah speak ta ya in private?" Twilight nods and looks at the two fillies.

"I hope you two have fun and welcome to Ponyville." Twilight then began walking with AJ out of earshot from the two girls and Pinkie.

"So how'd that go?" Amy asks Pinkie.

"Perfecto!" She happily exclaims. "Cmon Flutters probably has some news on your house."

Michael...

I sat in the green room of the stadium that Sweetie was performing in, it was quiet and a little uncomfortable. I heard lots of talking from outside of the room from other ponies who were most likely stage hands. I looked around the room and found many things that showed Sweetie's career that included the pamphlet of her current concerts. The songs titles were odd that included the album name. In the green room there was a small iPod that I browsed seeing that it had Sweetie's songs in it.

"Songs featured were released for Sweetie Belle's third studio album, Winters Blessing." I began reading the songs in the pamphlets and everything began to click, the songs titles had some meaning from what she did in my old world.

The first song on the album was titled Sky fall, as I read the titles I walked over to the iPod or more commonly known as the pPod. The song recounted the tale of a mare walking around the rain as she seemed upset with her life but soon the rain stopped as she bumped into a stallion who apologized for bumping into her. As the song continued the story continued along with it, her words for the final chorus were 'his bright and shining smile was everything I need to push away the rain.'

The songs became increasingly similar to the time spent with Sweetie, even the time I read Suicide Mouse.

"'Though my scared features showed his hand on my shoulder calmed me down.' Suicide Mouse scared you that much huh Sweets." I mention chuckling. I looked at the last song of the album, it was marked Traded Away. I skipped to the last song and recounted the last part of the mare's journey for love, the song was upsetting it made me tear up hearing Sweetie's clearly upset voice and almost crying to finish the song. But instead of Sweetie leaving earth the stallion passed away as the mare held the stallion's hand the two's love was clearly heard through the lyrics.

"'With his final breath he said he loved me, my life would never continue without him. But I knew he wouldn't like that answer so for him I'll always search for that small presence of love.'" As the song began fading away a baby's cry could be heard which only signified that the mare was pregnant with the stallion's foal.

I began thinking about what the meaning of the last song was about, I doubted Sweetie was pregnant since if she was I'd be seeing a belly on her along with her taking a break. But as I thought more of the song it began clicking.

Before I could think anymore about Sweetie or anything about earth the door to the room knocked, I put down the pamphlet and walked over to it. On the other side was Sweetie's manager Spike, opening the door I walked away from it as he entered.

"So for pushing you in here, it takes awhile to get Sweetie's costume and makeup ready, plus her makeup specialist and costume coordinator need to work in sync." He says with a chuckle, I let out a chuckle and nodded.

"It's fine, look I know Sweetie trusts you with my real identity and I know you and Twi are close but can I trust you?" Spike nodded

"Yeah you can, Twilight may be like a big sister to me. But Rarity's my wife and Sweetie my sister-in-law I'm not going to blab about you being the guy she constantly told me about." He turns and spots the open pamphlet along with the music on low. "You must've already listen to the songs but Sweetie kept saying your name when I tried getting her attention. During the recording of the album she kept spacing out and not speaking as much. It was hard for her and I can only imagine it was hard for you too."

"Imagine seeing the mare of your dreams love you and care for you with all her heart, and later finding out she has to leave forever never knowing if she'd come back but hoping she would." Spike looked almost as upset as myself.

"I know that feeling, but there's something similar for the both of us. We got our dream mare." Smiling I nodded and sat on the couch placing my leg over the other one.

"Sweetie says she doesn't care what magazine say about our relationship, do you feel the same. That she'd not care about the press hounding me and her down?"

"Sweetie's a girly girl, she loves what Rarity loves. But when it comes to love she's bold and won't give up until she has what she wants, so I'd say you're okay. Just don't take everything magazines say, they just stirring up shit and making sales for their crappy mags." I chuckled and nodded.

"Why? Had run ins with them?"

"Yeah one magazine said i was dating Sweetie and I cheated on Rarity. Those bastards paid the price when Sweetie sued them for defamation of character." I nodded and just sat there as Spike excuses himself. I'd have to deal with whatever ponies threw at me with my relationship with Sweetie at the end of the day it was all very worth it.

Ponyville...

Both fillies were awfully worried about the state of their home, they couldn't live with Fluttershy for their whole lives. But if their home wasn't safe they couldn't very well stay there either.

"Do you think Discord kept the house in tip top condition?" Amy asked Fluttershy who only nodded.

"I'm sure he kept it the way you left it." Dawn let out a sigh with her voice still aching she couldn't very well speak up. Approaching a rocky trail the two looked forward and spotted their modern and very out of place home.

"I hope ponies don't get suspicious of our home here." Amy says with worry.

"Don't worry my dear, most ponies who live in Ponyville rarely leave Ponyville. Your home will be undiscovered unless Pegasi travel through the area." Amy and Dawn both sighed as Fluttershy pushed them a bit and pointed towards their modern home, the mostly glass looking house looked natural almost if it was a modern cabin in the woods.

As they stepped in their home they walked towards the living room and looked up towards the ceiling to see a sky light the window pane was slanted so rain would fall towards the edges.

Dawn and Amy approached the living room and laid down on the couch as Fluttershy looked around the room seeing everything was still in its place last time she was visited the home.

"It's beautiful." The two say in unison, looking towards the table on the living room table to see large piles of coin and paper bills of bits.

"I never knew Michael had this much money!" Amy happily exclaimed as the money had just sat there.

"Mmhmmm I think that's all the money he got from working at the building firm, I hope he gets a new job here, but until then we'll have to use this." She says smiling

Elsewhere...

"Twi Ah know ya don't wanna see Michael's world again, but ah need yer help."

"Applejack you haven't mention Michael in months, why do you wanna know about his world?" Twilight asks

"It ain't his world Ah wanna know, it's him ah wanna know he's okay and ain't hurt." Twilight looks at Applejack before sighing.

"It's Applebloom isn't it, every time you two have a fight you always ask to see him. I know it'll be easier if he came to Equestria, but it would be difficult with an enormous amount of magical energy. I'd have to get Luna or Celestia to agree to even bring him."

"Ah know, but I just wanna see him." Twilight sighed and nodded. Beginning to concentrate her magic a swirling mass of energy of earth began to appear as the image of a burning car showed the charred remains of three humans were covered by a white blankets.

"The car belong to a Michael Anderson, and he recently gained the custody of two younger sisters of his. Dawn Anderson and Amy Anderson, they were burnt to a crisp and it seems they died a few hours ago." One of the police officers nearby said sighing. "Poor kids still having a lot of life just taken away."

Both girls gasped as they seem extremely upset, tears ran down their cheeks.

"H-he's gone?" Twilight says stunned beyond anything.

"This ain't gonna be easy for Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie ta handle." Applejack tilted her hat down covering her face as tears ran down her cheeks.
