WAY Out of place

Pinkie stopped jumping and immediately hovered in place. An awe struck Kian lost all grasp on reality and his jaw hung from place at this, eyes wide and staring. Physics, nature, logic, the fourth wall, When Pinkie's around; fuck them all! "I need to go tell everypony. I need to make a welcome home party. I need to throw a welcome party!"

With that and a small pink poof, pinkie was out the door and off. Kian only stood beside me, eyes wide and mouth open. No doubt trying to figure out what he just saw. I laughed and patted his shoulder. "At's Pinkie forr yoou."

He looked to with an enormous mixture of shock, confusion, and awe still on his face. "You sound like you know her."

"In a sense I do'" I chuckled. "So whoo's next?" I asked.
(In a sense I do.) (So who's next?)

"I guess we could try Rarity. She's not far from here." Twilight said walking to the door. I followed out and Kian trailed back a bit still trying to understand what just happened. Twilight leaned close to doubly make sure we wouldn't be heard. "Did she say he was cute?"

I thought and smirked, looking at her from the corner of my eye with a nod.

"What dos thine mean sister?" Luna asked confused.

"You received my message that Twilight had safely been returned?" Celestia asked looking down to Luna.

"Yes, we received it. You sounded most joyous that the spell you found from the Starswirl the Bearded wing had been of great use. Why must thou ask? Dos thou wisheth me to spy on thine student?" Luna asked.

"No, but when she arrived she was not the only one to be brought back." Celestia explained. She looked over to the fireplace at the Mule and Pegasus still out of it. "Four others were accidentally brought as well."

Luna looked to them. "Dos thine sister request us to spy on them?" She asked pointing a silver clad hoof.

"No, not them." Celestia said shaking her head. "They I do not worry about but one of the other two I do."

"Could thine please tell us more of the two to know what thine wanteth us to do?" Luna requested.

"One, an older Earth pony colt who is of no worry to me. He seems like a nice young stallion. The other, a large grey Unicorn stallion. He has...brought forth disturbing information and I would like you to keep track of his doings."

"We shall be off right away." Luna said trotting to the open balcony.

"No Luna, I have not finished." Celestia called to her.

A confused Luna trotted back and looked up to her older sister. "Then what dos thou mean, sister?"

"I want you to watch his dreams."

Luna only looked more confused. "Thou dos know of our power to view and infiltrate dreams, but what dos thine mean of us to watch this stallion."

I walked side by side with Twilight, nearing the boutique. I looked about myself taking in the site of Ponyvill. I could see quite a few mares looking at us. To Twilight with relief, to me with confusion and worry, and to Kian with...other thoughts. "He's really getting around." I laughed to myself. "Never imagined my little brother having a harem." I looked around and had a weird thought. "Where's all the stallions?" I looked back thoroughly and could only spot a small hand--hoof full. I doubled my search and looking for anything masculine only spotting the same small amount of stallions scattered around me. I leaned close to Twilight and whispered. "Where are all the stallions?"

She looked back to me plainly. "Ponyvill's population is roughly seventy-percent female. What you see is what's there."

I luaghed a little. "Boy is Kian going to have a field day when he stops wussing out." I started looking around myself and thinking back to episodes. There was mostly mares throughout Ponyvill with only small hoof-fulls of stallions. Pony lingo is really getting to me. I spotted one I hadn't and figured I missed. He was a bit of a distance and I squinted to try to see him.

"This stallion is not like any normal pony. I had delve into his mind after sensing something of him. A deep bitterness to life and living. He holds much pain and guilt. Much anger and hate." Her face saddened. "He's been through so much and all he wants is to have a normal life." She looked down to Luna with growing seriousness. "He has, in both real life and dream, committed horrid atrocities of life and well being."

"We fear that maybe he should not be in this world then." Luna said with an actual hint of fear.

"He has brought another thing to my attention. Though he has openly allowed me to see such things and admits guilt of doing them he requested that no matter the sight he be allowed to see Twilight."

Luna's expression gained more confusion. "Why does this stallions request of such?"

Celestia held the faintest hint of a smile. "Love."

Luna's head lowered and she thought deeply for a moment. "If so, then sister, why dos thine allow him full freedom?"

"Woona, I dived into his mind and memory. I watched much of his life before my eyes. But what he feels is in all truth, love. He shares this feeling with Twilight. But his life has caused great repercussions on his being. His psyche is no exception. His dreams test and torment him. Always using what he feels care for as leverage, always forcing him through horrid nightmares of suffering. He does not willingly do these things. He has to, to protect himself and Twilight. He has openly stated that he would never give up or let go, never look back or think twice, if it meant any risk of losing Twilight."

Luna looked at the marble floor, trying to piece together what she had heard. "But what if he ever was pushed to such extremes in this world?" She asked raising her head.

Celestia still held the same serious face she had. "I have taken a minor precaution to prevent such a thing." Her horn glowed and a small dark cloud hovered over her.

Luna looked at it curiously. "What is this Tia?"

"His pain, his anger, his memory. They've weighed him down and hurt him to limits that could break him."

"You've taken this from him?! But Tia, how is such a thing possible. Doing such would kill him or leave him an empty husk!"

I squinted trying to see what this distant stallion looked like. It was hard trying to do this and walk at the same time. I stopped and squinted hard. Twilight looked back to me. "Something the matter?" She asked.

"Uh, no' nothing, jyust goo on ahead, e'll catch up."(Uh, no nothing, just go on ahead, I'll catch up.) I said squinting in the direction of the stallion. Twilight walked on with Kian and Spike in tow. I could barely make out what he looked like. I could tell it was a Pegasus, but his wings looked large and almost sharp. His coat was a grey and his mane a cloudy white with reddened tips. He leered in my direction, his eyes a deep crimson. He held an eery grin and above his pointed ears were small horns. This was the same stallion I had seen behind Celestia. I shut my eyes and shook my head, my ears flopping against my head from the sudden motion. I looked back in his direction to find him gone.

I only told him I took it away. But what I merely did was suppress it. There is a very minor chance of it returning. What you see is a representation. He still holds these things, they're just locked away in his mind.

Luna looked up to her sister. "Then why dos thou want us to watch his dreams?"

"To make sure he does not have any more nightmares. Things like such could possibly re-awaken these horrible things. More could happen from it and they could entirely return to him. I need you to keep watch and inform of such things happening. If they come back he could create an unbalance in chaos and harmony. Woona, what I ask of you is of great importance. This could very well prevent the end of Equestria. I need you."

Luna looked up to her. "We shall not fail in our quest."

Celestia held a faint smile and leaned down giving a nuzzle to Luna. "Good luck little sister."
