Chapter 1: Christmas

December 24th, 2014
London, England

"Mommy, wake up! It's Christmas!" Miranda screams in excitement and Sheryn responded with a not-so-excited moan.

"Did daddy wake up yet?" Sheryn asked Miranda and both looked over to the side just to see David sleeping and snoring like a baby, the only thing in Sheryn's mind was his old saying, 'Being a grown-up doesn't mean you can't be a baby'.

"No...". Sheryn's ears perched up and tries to locate the voice, it was David's voice. Sheryn was thinking, 'Is he having a nightmare?', she gently put her hand on his body. To her suprise, David woke up and scream.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" , his scream scared both Sheryn and Miranda.

Sheryn, now with a terrified face asked, "David! Are you okay? What's wrong?!"

David responds, " It has happened again. I had a nightmare, but the weird thing is, that nightmare was the same thought I had the other night.". David was hyperventilating during the respond.

"David, calm down, just breath calmly. Do you need a doctor or anything?". Sheryn asked with a worried tone in her voice.

"Don't worry, it's just a nightmare, all I need is some time to think about it and I'll be just fine." David said.

"Okay, get dress up, Dave. I'm gonna go downstairs and get ready breakfast for the family. Come on Miranda, daddy needs a little rest before waking up." Sheryn stood up and carried Miranda downstairs with her.

David was just sitting there on the bed thinking of the thoughts, 'What if the nightmare is real? What if it will happend?'. David scratches that thought over and get dressed up. David soon realized that he forgets to wrapped up the toy he found yesterday, he quickly started to search around the house for wrapped papers. Moments later, the toy was wrapped up in a pink paper, he though to himself, 'Perfect color for my little daughter'.

"Hey guys!" David said as he waves to his whole family. David Jr and Miranda jumps onto him and gave him a hug. Sheryn as usual gave him a kiss.

"So, where are we going today? The mall, our parent's house or just randomly break into people's house?", David said with a large grin on his face, making the other three confused.

"I'm kidding!", David laugh loudly making the whole house laugh as well.

"How about going to the mall and then go to grandpa's house? I'm sure that'll be fun, and we'll be back in time for presents!", Miranda said with a joyful smile on her face.

"Great idea, Miranda. We could stop by our parent's house for some lunch! It's like a gas station!" David said while rubbing his daughter's head and complimenting her.

"Alright, the mall it is then. Why don't you to get ready up and meet me outside?" Sheryn said and nods in approval. The others quickly ran up stairs to their room and get their coats and leather boots. After a few moments, the family grouped up outside the house, all of them load up into the car before driving off to the mall.

Later...
"Finally! I thought I was gonna suffocate to death in that car, fresh air!" David Jr said and puts his hands in the air, breathing in and out as he was yelling with joy.

"Kids these days, can't even get inside the car without having problems." Sheryn said as she lets out a deep sigh.

"Don't worry about it, they'll get used to it. No matter what happend." David comforts Sheryn and gave her a small kiss on the forehead.

"Get a room you two!" Miranda said and laughed loudly with David Jr, later joined by the other two. 'We sure do love laughing' David thought in his head.

A few minutes later.

"Okay guys, now what do you want to do here besides buying stuff and mess around?" Sheryn said while the other three putting their hands stroking on their imaginary beard, thinking.

"How about we buy stuff and mess around in the mall?"

"David, I just said beside those."

"Great! Let's do those!"

Sheryn facepalmed at David's statement, she spoke up, "Fine, let's do those, we can't have arguments in this family, especially Christmas."

"YAY!", the three shouted in unison.

The four goes from floor after floor, buying stuff left and right. It never gets old for David and Sheryn to buy random stuff and never get to use it. David spotted something that satisfies his eyes and said to Sheryn, "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up later."

Sheryn nods at David and turned to the kids, "Okay kids, daddy is gonna do something. Why don't we go to the other side of the mall?".

The two nods in approval and Sheryn took the two to the other side of the mall, "Mommy, what's dad doing?" Miranda was the one who spoke up.

"I don't know sweetheart, but he does makes it sound like it's important. We'll just have to wait and see."

After a few moments, Sheryn and the kids were waiting for David on a bench. Suddenly, David came running with a bag in his hand. He stopped to catch his breath before speaks up, "Got the thing I needed, that took forever." he said while swiping all of the sweat out of his forehead.

"David what did you do this time?!", Sheryn asked with a concerned look on her face.

"No worries, I didn't do anything this time."

"If you didn't do anything, then what's up with the sweat?" Sheryn pointed out the sweat still dripping down his forehead.

"That? You don't wanna hear the rest of it. Because the writer of this story is super lame!" David said while looking straight into the sky... pointing at... me?

"Yeah! You! I can break the forth wall you know?"

'You're not allowed to do that! You're my character, and the last time I check, they don't break the forth wall!'

"Sure whatever, chief." David said with a voice filled with sarcasm.

"David are you okay? You just talked to nobody." Sheryn said, still looking pretty concerned and confused at the same time.

"Yeah, I'm okay. You wanna check the gift I bought for you?"

"Aww, that's sweet of you, honey!" Sheryn gave David a peck on the cheek.

"But this will have to wait 'til night. Let's get the bags on the car, we're done here."

The family took the bags and loaded it into the car. Their next destination was their grandparent's house, David started to get a vision, a bad one.
"David, calm down."
David started to breath in and out slowly before starting the car and drive. He slowly loosing vision of the way he was going, next to it was his consciousness.

"DAVID! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GO-"

Darkness... was the last thing he ever saw in this world.

Chapter 3: The Starting Line of a New Life

Location
Equestria, Ponyville

A new day was starting to shine brightly, the birds were chirping and the sun is shining so brightly, it hurts. While that being said, David still sleeping like a little baby.

Twilight heard the snoring and said loudly, "David! Could you stop snoring and go downstairs and have breakfast? You still have somethings to tell for me!"

David just jumps out of his bed with a scream, he mumbles to himself, "That was the best sleep I have ever had for the last 2 days. Better luck next time trying to sleep without having an alarm clock." He lets out a few chuckles before getting his body out of the comfortable bed he was offered.

A few moments later

"Good morning, David", Twilight said while letting out a small yawn.

"Top on the morning to ya, Sparkles."

"So, do you want sandwich? Or omelets?"

"Tough choice...", he said while stroking his imaginary beard, "...why not combining both of them?"

"Huh, I never thought of that before. Do you eat sandwiches and eggs together in your world?"

"Of course we do! If we don't then where do you think that idea came from?"

Twilight laughed and said, "I thought you were some kind of 'Genius' to invent that kind of thing!"

David chuckles again, "If I were to be a genius, I would have stayed up all night and be like "Uh! I'm a nerd! Hur-hur-hur!", also reading books while saying it!"

"Oh c'mon! Now that's offensive to me!"

David just burst out laughing like a maniac, Twilight just can't help but laugh along as well. After a long minute of laughing, Twilight was the one who spoke up, "Alright, let's clean up and go outside, I'll give you a tour and you're gonna tell me everything about your planet just like we promise!"

"Okay, I'll get the dishes, you get the door." David said while literally threw every dishes in the sink and ran out the door like someone was chasing him with a knife.

After both of them got out of the library, David was met with a light that blinds his eyes, "Gah! Is it always that bright here?!"

Twilight chuckles and responded, "No silly! You just got out of the house for the past day or so, maybe you haven't adapt to this new world yet."

"Good enough reasons...", he said while rubbing his eyes in pain. Suddenly, he heard something coming from above, he looked up just to saw a screen of blackness.

"Rainbow Dash! What is wrong with you?!! You just knocked out my friend!", Twilight angrily shouted at the rainbow mane pegasus.

"Uhhhh.... why are there stars floating on my head?", David moans while holding his head in pain.

"Oh thank Celestia! You're alive!"

"What happened? I just turned around and there was a screen of blackness, and now I'm laying on the ground and who is this?", David said while look at Rainbow Dash.

"David, say hello to Rainbow Dash, the one that knocks every other non-pony creatures that follows me."

"Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh! I'm sorry! I didn't know you were Twilight's test subject!", David heard the two words 'Test subject' and literally confused.

"Just kidding with ya! My name is Rainbow Dash, you are?", Rainbow said while giving a hoof to David.

He accepted the handshake or 'hoofshake' and responded, "My name is David Cambridge and I guess you're a funny perrrrr-pony am I right?"

Rainbow nodded and responded with a cocky grin, "You sure I am! Me and Pinkie Pie are the best prankers in Equestria!"

"Who is Pinkie-" before he could finish his sentence, and pink figure just popped out of nowhere right in front of him. It kinda seems like everything in this world wants to murder him with jumpscares.

"Hi there Mister! My name is Pinkie Pie! It looks like you are new here in this small town, am I correct?!!", the pink cotton hair pony said it faster than a rapper could rap.

"Why does everybody here wants to give me a heart attack?!", David said while still catching his breath like he was having a real heart attack.

"Of course not doofus! It's called surprise for a reason!", Pinkie responded with the widest grin David could have ever seen.

"Does anybody else here wants to kill me?!", David said with a tone filled with sarcasm knowing that this place is filled with colorful ponies and there are no ways of them killing him, besides cuteness of course.

"Alright, enough David. Let's continue talking shall we?", Twilight said while eyeing Rainbow and Pinkie, giving them the signal to go away.

"Fine, I'll leave you two love birds hanging around. Later David!", Rainbow took off while holding a laugh in her mouth.

"I guess I'll be going too, oh and remember to visit my shop! I'll plan a welcome party when you get there!", Pinkie said while continued to bounce off her way.

"Now two of those prankers are gone, let's keep walking.", Twilight leads the way and the two continues to talk.

The day ends with Twilight and David walking towards the library, both stopped at the doorway and Twilight was the one who spoke up, "So David, are you planning on having a family in this world?".

"If I were to have kids in this world, what will they look like?", David asked with a questioning look on his face.

"I don't know. I mean, your kind hasn't been here before, and hasn't really breed so I don't know!"

"Then that question will remains to be unanswered."

"Oh, okay.", Twilight lets out a deep sigh. David could clearly see her frown on her face, but he didn't acknowledge it.

"Alright, let's go inside, I'll make something for us to eat. Sounds good?", David said to cheer her up but she only responded with a simple nod.

Both of them goes inside the library, had dinner and went into their bedroom. David was still curious about why she was sad all of the sudden, before she asked that question, she was clearly super happy about what he had told her. But he scratches that thought and went to sleep.

David knew today was an awful and awesome day but it's only just the beginning, who knows what lies ahead.

Chapter 4: Dream Realm and a Quick Stroll

"Hello David, glad I could meet you again.", David recognized that voice as he turned around and saw Cassiel standing there.

"Errrm, hello again Cassie. The last time I got here, I only know your name, care to tell me what is this place called and why do I keep getting here?"

Cassiel chuckles and said, "You are in your Dream Realm, where your dreams are held. Sometimes I like to pop up in some dreams or maybe when you are unconscious."

"Oh, that's a rude thing to do. Popping into people's dreams like that.", David responded.

"I'm sorry David, but I only do it for some important reasons only."

"Is that so? Then tell me the reasons you are here."

"Because you are dead in your world and settling your new life here, I'm here to talk about your family, David. Don't you miss them? Do you know how many tears have they shed every night thinking that you may come back someday?", Cassiel said.

David didn't know what to respond, the last few days he had live here has just been settling for a new one. He has forgotten his life back on his home planet, he didn't even know Sheryn and his kids are crying for him, praying to him that he will find somewhere happy to life in another world. And yet, he ignored them. David collapsed onto the floor, quietly sobbing.

Cassiel felt pity for him and comforting him with her soft voice, "It's okay David, you have you let your love ones go. Even if they were with you for your entire life, they will go no matter what. Now I will give you a surprise, this item will be very important. I want you to keep it safely.",

Cassiel handed a picture of David and his family, standing on an open field with his parents. They look so happy on that day, David was still sobbing but this time it was tear of happiness instead of sadness. He dries off his tears and stood up, feeling better than before.

He looked at the picture one more time and look back at Cassiel, "Where did you get this anyway? And will this be with me in the morning when I wake up?"

"I have the powers to duplicate items from one dimension which takes a lot of concentration. It took me a while to get the photo here in this realm.", Cassiel said while letting out a deep sign.

"Oh, that's cool! I would give you a big bear hug right now if I could touch you."

Cassiel lets out a few chuckles, "That's cute of you David, but it is time for you to wake up. You don't want to hear the shout of your pony-friend waking you up, do you?"

"Haha, very funny. But that's also a good idea because I need a stroll around the town to work up my legs in case I need to run somewhere.", David said while immediately slapping himself over and over again, trying to wake himself up with pain.

Cassiel was behind him, trying to contain the laugh she was having and snap her fingers just to see disappeared into thin air.

Location
Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library

David was gasping for air after that dream happens, he felt something in his hand. He hold up to see it was the family picture he has received from Cassiel. 'Thank you, Cassiel.', he quiet thought to himself.

'Alright, time to run all over the town and get lost in it now.', David stood up, grab his clothes and went down stairs. He got out of the door without waking Twilight up. He turned around just to see Rainbow Dash hovering next to him. David almost scream but luckily Rainbow put a hoof on his mouth before the scream went off.

"Dude! It's just me!", Rainbow whispers quietly.

David tries to speak but it was only gibberish because her hoof was still over his mouth. Rainbow recognized this and put her hoof away, letting him breath slowly. He opens his mouth and said, "What did I told you about sneaking up on me?! Didn't I told you not to do that?"

"You didn't said anything about not scaring you! And also, I didn't sneak up on you!"

"Then what are you doing here in the morning?"

"I was having an exercise, trying to keep myself in shape while I saw you from above so I think bringing you with me is a good idea!"

"Who's out there?", Twilight's sleepy voice just totally makes the two stop arguing.

"I think we should get out of here quick, we don't want to ruin her dream!", Rainbow said while staring at David with a horrified face, remembering what happen when she ruins Twilight's dream.

"Good idea! Which way shall we run?", David said while also being terrified.

"This way!", Rainbow runs first while David follows behind.

The two made it far enough from the library to stop and took a breath, David spoke up, "I haven't run like that in years now! Last time I ran that fast, it was in school, and it was tough!"

Rainbow was still catching her breath and responded, "I haven't run in awhile since I mostly fly and running isn't really fast when you can do a Sonic Rainboom."

David pause to think what he has just heard, 'Sonic Rainboom', he exclaimed, "Woah, woah, woah, hold up. You can break the sound barrier and make a Sonic boom?!!!"

"Yep, my first one was when I was a young filly but I have no idea why I can't do it more frequently at this time. Doing a Sonic Rainboom takes a lot of effort and practices."

"In my planet, nothing could break the sound barrier other than a jet and that thing is way to expensive and dangerous for normal civilian to use, especially the ones who can't fly.", David said.

"It's a bummer for those who can't fly, it's just a great feeling to be soaring through the blue sky!", Rainbow responded while hovering.

"Yeah, it's a bummer alright. Hey look! Isn't that Applejack over there?", David said while pointing his finger towards the orange farm pony with a stetson on her head.

"Oh yeah! How did you know it was Aj?", Rainbow asked with a questioning look.

"Twilight told me about everything, when I mean everything, I mean things that are pretty important."

Applejack noticed David and Rainbow talking while she was stretching herself, she shouted, "Hey ya there Dash! What 'cha doin' at this time in the mornin'?"

"Hey AJ! I'm just taking a walk with my buddy David here!", Rainbow said while patting David on the shoulders.

Applejack took a glance at David and spoke up, "So yer' that David that I've been hearin' 'bout, Am Ah right?", She said with her southern accent.

David tries to figure out what she had said because southern accents aren't completely common in England.

"How did you know about me?", David said with a confused look on this face.

Applejack chuckles, "Ah always listen to the people in town!".

Rainbow Dash spoke up, "So AJ, what are you doing here when the sun isn't shining yet?"

"Ya gotta get ready for applebuckin' every mornin' in this month!"

"You need an extra hand for some lifting? I could use a little work out here.", David said while flexing his muscles, making Applejack lets out a giggle.

"Alright! You're hired! You can stop flexing it now!"

"Hey! What about me? Can I help too?", Rainbow said trying to make a 'Please?' face.

Applejack simply nods at Dash and the three shared a laugh. This reminds David of his family, how he laugh with them when everything either things went horribly wrong or completely funny.

"We will begin when the sun rises, so get some warm up and breakfast 'cuz yer' gonna work all day!" Applejack said it like she means it.

"Alright, we'll be back here by time hits nine, expecting us to work very well."

"Okay, I'll expecting ya both at nine!"

David and Rainbow said goodbye to Applejack and head off.

After a long walk around town, one of their stomach started to rumble. It was David's.

Rainbow laughs before spoke up, "You wanna grab something to eat? My treat since you clearly don't have any bits on ya."

David didn't said anything but his stomach was rumbling so he took it as a 'Yes' making Rainbow chuckles.

"Alright, so where are we going to eat now?", David said while resting his hand on his stomach.

"I'll take you to a place soon, don't worry. You're not gonna die from hunger."

The two walked to a place called 'The Spring Flower', David spoke up after looking at the sign, "Isn't the title a little bit off for a personality like you?"

"Nah, it's cool. Besides! It has good food in it! So stop whining and get in there!"

David opens the door and trying to be a gentleman, "After you.". He can't believe that actually works!

Both took a seat and started reading the menu, David thought this actually looks like one of those breakfast place he had when he was in New York for a family vacation. The waitress came to the two, she was shocked after seeing David.

"Oh my Celestia! Are you David?", she asked while looking at David.

"Uhhhh.... yes?", he said nervously.

"My name is Cadastra, please to meet you!"

Character Info: Cadastra Blossom
Age: 23
Eye color: Bright pink
Hair color: Yellow with white streaks

"Do I know you from where?"

"Of course not! I heard that there is a creature living with the Princess, I can't believe it's you! You're lucky just to live with a princess."

"Huh, news spreads fast don't they?", David said.

"Yeah, the reporters in this town is crazy fast! They will get everything on the news in just a flash!", Cadastra said while still smiling at David.

David turned to Rainbow just to see her face turning red, he knew that this wasn't right so he went and changes the subject, "So, can we order our breakfast now? Miss Cadastra?"

"Okay, what are you guys in for?", she asked.

"Oh thank you! I would like a dandelion sandwich please!", Rainbow lets out a long sign after that.

David still stroking his imaginary beard before speaking up, "I would like to have two slices of bread and omelets please!"

"Okay, your orders will be here in a few minutes. Would you two like some juice with your meal?", Cadastra asked and the both responded with a nod.

After the two finished their meal, the two left and ran straight to the farm. They made it just in time to see Applejack bucking a tree, David was amazed on how she could make apples fall out of the tree by just one simple kick, he was impressed by her strength.

"Okay AJ, we're here. What do you want us to do?", Rainbow said.

"Ya'll could help me load up apple crates to Big Mac."

"That's it? Picking up a crate of apples is too easy! Give me a challenge at least!", David said before looking at Applejack with his 'Challenge me' eyes.

"M'kay, I bet ya can't buck an apple down a tree!"

"Challenge accepted!", David said while thinking 'Memes are real in this.'

He walked to a nearby apple tree and started to survey it, trying to make himself look smart by sounding like he was calculating the force he needed to kick an apple down a tree. After ten-seconds flat, he kicked the tree with a force that shakes it. Nothing fall down, the only thing that fall down is David, crying in pain from that horrible kick.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash can't help but laughing out loud, leaving David with his red angry face.

"Alright, fine. You win the bet. You two can stop laughing now."

The two mares stopped laughing and dragged David along with his painful leg, but that doesn't mean he can't work.

"Okay David, I'm goin' to give ya an offer, you can work here and I will pay ya with bits. Sounds good to ya?"

"Does that mean I have a job now?", David said while dragging his feet.

"Darn tootin'!"

"YES! Ow!", he said while falling into the field with a loud thud.

He got up and began to work with Applejack and Rainbow Dash for the rest of the day.

This was a painful and probably the best day of his life here after getting that photo from Cassiel. He knew there were more things in his way to happiness, and he doesn't like it.

Chapter 5: New clothes and new pets

Location
Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library

It was an early morning in the library, Twilight was having her goodnight sleep when something happens to wake her up. She heard something rumbling in the kitchen, she checked the clock just to see it turned to 7 o'clock. Twilight went downstairs to investigate the noise, but the only thing she saw was David sitting there, reading the newspaper while eating eggs.

David noticed Twilight looking at him and spoke up, "Morning, Sparkles."

Twilight just stood there, confused. David doesn't usually wake up this early and also, he doesn't make himself breakfast.

"So, what's the occasion?", Twilight asked.

"Nothing, just waking up early, making breakfast and heading out to Applejack and work for the rest of the day.", David said while still reading his newspaper.

"Hold on a second, you got a job?!!", she gasp in surprise.

"Oh yeah, forgot to tell you about that. Yes, I got a job yesterday at the farm. Lifting up crates like I lift those weights.", David said while flexing his muscles like yesterday with Applejack.

Twilight couldn't help but to let out a giggle, begging him to stop flexing. Looks like David got a new trick to show how manly he is.

"It seems like you just took a small step to the stairs of happiness. By the way, you might need some new clothes. You have been wearing the same outfit for approximately 3 days now."

"Good point, so where do I find new clothes?"

"Eat your breakfast, I'll show you the place. She's my friend anyways, so you're free of charge."

"We're going to Rarity, aren't we?"

"How could you tell?", Twilight said

"Well, you told me she was a fashion designer and she got a shop somewhere and all of that jazz, how could I not know?", David said while chewing his food.

Twilight blushed as she forgot what she had told him the other day, "Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that! My bad!"

"Alrighty then, let's jazz out of here.", David said while once again, threw all of the dishes into the sink.

Twilight and David walked to the boutique where Rarity works, they open the door and the bell rang.

"Coming!~~", the two heard a few hoofsteps coming from upstairs, the pony with the white coat spoke up, "Hello, darling! What brings you to my shop?"

"My friend needs some new clothes to wear, do you think you can hook him up?"

"Sure Twi! All I need is some measurement and his clothes will be done in no time! I'm generous for a reason you know."

"Okay David, go with Rarity for measurements, I'll stay out here waiting for you."

David nods and followed Rarity. After going into the room, Rarity spoke up, "So, you're David right?"

"Yes, you heard me through the news didn't ya?"

"Correct! You look a lot more... handsome than I could imagine.", she looked at David, trying to charm him.

David felt uncomfortable about this, he quickly changes the subject, "About the measurements, do I need to do anything else?"

Rarity shook her head and said, "I just need to take your measurements and you're good to go!"

She levitates the measuring tape at David. It took her awhile to do it since David is the first human for her to measure. Suddenly, David heard something scratching in the other room, he looked behind him and saw a cat.

"Is that your cat?", David asked.

"Yes, that's Opal, my pet cat. Be careful when you're near her, she doesn't like to get touched."

"I'll keep that in mind whenever I'm in your shop.", David looked at the cat again only to hear the cat hissing at him. He never likes cats anyways.

After thirty minutes of measuring, saying goodbye to Rarity and head off with Twilight.

"Hey Twilight?", said David.

"Yeah?"

"Is it weird to know that Rarity is flirting with me?"

"Don't worry about it! She always like that when somepony with a handsome look walks into her boutique."

"Oh, that's good to know. Anyways, can I ask you another question?

"Go for it."

"Can I have a pet?"

Twilight looked at David and chuckles, "What kind of question is that? Of course you can have a pet! Do you need me to take you to Fluttershy's cottage?"

"Well, if you don't mind of course."

"I don't mind at all, by the way, what kind of pet are you getting?", Twilight asked.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, haven't decided one yet. But I'm sure I'll figure one out as soon as I get there."

The two walked to Fluttershy's cottage, Twilight knocked at the door. Surprisingly, the door was opened by a bunny.

Twilight greeted the bunny, "Hi Angel! Is Fluttershy home by any chances?"

Angel took a glance at David with his suspicious eyes before nodding at Twilight.

"Angel? Who's outside?", David heard a small voice coming from the inside.

The door was opened by a butter yellow color mare, she look at David with her terrified eyes before letting out a squeak, "EEEK!"

"Fluttershy! Don't worry, he won't hurt you. He's my friend."

Fluttershy does seem to calmed down a little bit after hearing about David was Twilight's friend. He guess she doesn't read the news recently.

"W-w-what are you, mister?"

"My name is David and I'm a human. Care to introduce yourself?", David knew her name already, but he went for it anyways.

"My name is .... Fluttershy."

"...I'm sorry what now?"

"I'm Fluttershy."

David heard it that time, he doesn't knew she was that shy, better listen to Twilight next time.

"Nice to meet you Fluttershy, do you know why we are here?"

Fluttershy shook her head and David spoke up, "I'm looking for a pet to keep me company, can you show me some that I can keep?"

After hearing that question, Fluttershy just screams with joy, "Of course you can! Come with me, I'll show you all of them in the back."

She leads him to the back of the yard, David jaws just dropped down the ground as he look at how many animals were there. Birds, chickens, you name it, she got it.

"Oh my goodness, that's a lot of choices for me to pick. Wait a minute, is that a bear?!!", he looked behind Fluttershy to see a bear running full speed at them. Before he could react, the bear stopped in front of Fluttershy, sitting down like a dog.

"Now then, what did I told you about running at ponies and scaring them?", she said with a slight anger in her voice.

The bear looked down like dogs when they are sad. David is surprise at how she is managing them like this, especially a bear!

But then something in the distance catches his eyes, this time it is a big bird, bigger than the others around. It seems to be getting a little bit closer to him, close enough for him to identify what was that bird, "Is that an eagle?!"

An eagle landed on Fluttershy's back, "Yes mister David, this is an eagle."

David jaws were still dropped on the round because of amazement, she got the coolest bird on the entire planet!

"I'm totally gonna accept the eagle on this one!"

"Ummm, okay. I guess I will have to show you the ways to raise him properly."

David listened to Fluttershy about everything he needed to make this eagle the best pet he have ever had. After a long and boring talk, he finally had a pet.

"In order for you to be my friend, you must have a name. How about Riptide? Sounds good to you?"

The eagle nodded with a full smile on it's face. David nodded back at his new companion and Riptide flew off, Fluttershy did said that when he flies off, he will comeback to its be loving owner, he hope that's true.

After working at Applejack for the day, he went back to the library to catch some nice sleeps. He smells something good in the kitchen, he walked in there to see Twilight cooking the same soup she cooked for him at his first day here. After dinner was done, he took a glance at the photo of his family and went to bed.

He always wanted to dream about his family, but the only thing in this dream is pitch black. Darkness, it's the same one he had saw before at Earth.

Chapter 6: Darkness

Location
Unknown

"Uhhhh...Where in the world am I?", David woke up in a strange place, it wasn't the place where he usually met Cassiel. This place was pitch black. He tries to walk but he doesn't know where he was going.

"Hello David.", a voice coming from behind David. He turned around to see a pair of glowing green eyes, he couldn't see the body, guess it was blending in with the shadows.

"Who are you? Why am I here?"

The dark figure laughed before saying, "You're so naive David, don't you know who I am? I'm the one that brought you here."

David was confused and spoke up, "What??! How is that possible? Why would you do such a thing?"

"The question is: Why do I not? You see, I'm the kind of person who would make people's life miserable. It seems like my plan has failed, but I always have a backup plan."

David heard a snap of a finger, emerge from the darkness, it was Sheryn trying to break free from what it seems like a shadow arm holding her.

"David?!! Is that you?!!", Sheryn said with a surprised tone.

"Yes honey! It's me! Don't worry, I'll get you out when I'm done dealing with this mess!", he said to the dark figure with a voice filled with anger.

"Oh that's sweet of you, David. I hate sweetness. In order to let your wife live, you must battle me in Equestria."

"David! What is he saying?", Sheryn said while looking at David.

"Sheryn, give me one second. Okay, where can I find you?"

"I will give you time to prepare, I won't tell you where or when I'm going to kill you. Until then, I'm gonna have a little fun with your wife."

"Don't you dare touch a single hair on her or I-"

"Or you what? Kill me? You think you can do that? Oh how you make me laugh!"

"You bet I am!", David lounge at the figure and started to punching it rapidly, but it was no used.

"It tickles! Make it stop!", the figure said and flung David out of Sheryn's view.

"DAVID!", Sheryn cried.

"We'll meet again, pathetic little human.", he let out a maniacally laugh.

"Sheryn...", was David's last word before fading to black.

Location
Ponyville, Golden Oak's Library.

"David? David! Wake up!", David recognized that voice, it was Rainbow's voice, how did it get in here?

He woke up and saw that he was in the bed, he quickly survey the whole room just to make sure that he was awoken. Rainbow was confused at what he was doing, she asked, "David, are you okay? What happened?"

"I can't tell you about that, too personal. By the way, how in the world did you get in here?", he questioned.

"Oh, about that. I kinda sneaked into your room through the open window."

"Why would you do such a thing?"

"Remember the time I say I was a prankster? Yeah, I was about to do that but when I heard you talk in your dream, I dropped that thought."

"Oh yeah? What did you heard?", David said while putting his shirt on.

"You said something about Sheryn. Care to tell me who or what is that?"

David took the picture and showed it to Rainbow, pointing at Sheryn and said, "This is Sheryn, she's my wife back on the planet I used to live in."

As soon as she heard that, her face just went from happy to very disappointed. David noticed that this time, it was the same as Twilight's last time she was disappointed. But this time he won't let it through, "What's the matter Dash? Why are you looking so down all of the sudden?"

"It's nothing, you wanna go and have some breakfast?", she quickly dodges the question.

David was about to go back to the question but he just went with it anyways. Besides, his stomach was rumbling like an earthquake, he took the gauntlet in case Riptide return.

Location
Ponyville, The Spring Flower

The two walked into the place only to greeted by none other than Cadastra, "Hey guys! What do you two want to put in your stomach this time?"

"I'll have the usual, please!", Rainbow and David said in a unison and laughed at eachother.

Cadastra chuckles, "You two are way too cute together! Are you guys planning to be a couple anytime soon?"

"What? No! We're just friends!", David said.

"I'm just kidding, David! But I got to admit, you two look fit together!"

"Tell me Cadastra, what do you see us in common?"

That just make her froze, she didn't knew what those two have in common, "Uhhhh... darnit, should have thought of this one.", she mumbles to herself.

"You see? We're just friends! Also, can we get our food now?", David said with an impatience voice.

Cadastra realized that she hasn't got them the food yet, she quickly ran and gave the order to the chef, hiding her blush as she does it.

"David, can I ask you something", Rainbow asked.

"Go for it."

"You've been wearing the same clothes for days now, are you gonna change it anytime soon?"

That just make David remember about the clothes he had ordered yesterday, "Oh yeah, about that, you wanna walk with me to Rarity and pick up some clothes?"

"YES! I mean, sure! A walk can't hurt, right?"

David wasn't sure what she was excited about but he let it flew. Speaking of flying, David heard a sound outside, it was Riptide!

"Hey buddy! Where have you been all night? You've been hunting and finding a mate didn't ya?", Riptide responded with a nod.

"You have an eagle as a pet?! That's so cool, why didn't you tell me this?", Rainbow said.

"Well, I figure it wouldn't be as important but now you know that I have a pet, what about you? Do you have a pet?"

"I do have a pet, his name is Tank and he's the best pet I have ever had!"

"Oh really? You should show him to me sometimes."

"You will see him eventually. But for now, let's have breakfast, I'm starving to death here!"

After breakfast, Dash and David was walking to the boutique but somebody happens to stop their track.

"LOOK OUT!", a voice coming from above David, he looked up just in time to see a Pegasus plowing down straight into him.

"Well screw m-", before David could finish his words, the Pegasus knocked him down like Rainbow did the time she 'greeted' him.

"Holy mother of Celestia! Are you two okay?!!", another voice could be heard above, it was another stallion but it seems like this was the other's brother.

"I'm gonna have brain damage if you guys keep doing this...", David said while moaning in pain.

"David! Oh thank Celestia you're not dead! Are you okay?!!"

David was still moaning in pain, that's his signal meaning that he's alive. Rainbow looked at the other and saw that the one hit him has got up, she walked over to the stallion and started speaking, "Dude, what happened to you? You just ram on top of him!"

The stallion's brother looked at her and said, "I'm so sorry about that, my little bro was learning some tricks from me and it got out of control. I promise you it won't happen again!"

David woke up, rubbed his head and spoke up, "Don't worry about it, I'm still fresh as a lettuce. That also mean good."

"Are you gonna do something bad to us?", the wounded one asked.

"Of course not! What kind of a person am I to do something bad to a person that accidentally hurt me and apologized for it? And besides, this place is too friendly for violence."

"So, are we cool now?"

"Sure we are, can I at least know both of your names in case I somehow run into you again?"

"My name is Cirrus Thunder and this my little brother Knight Shield. We just moved into Ponyville with our parents and we both work at a weather factory in Cloudsdale."

"I'm David Cambridge and this is Rainbow Dash.", David introduced both of themselves.

Rainbow only waved at the two. David immediately remembers that he needs to get the clothes from Rarity, he said to Rainbow and the other two, "Well, it's about time we go now Dash. Gotta get those clothes and work for the rest of the day with AJ. I guess I'll see you two later then."

"Okay, I'll see you later then. I'm sure next time we meet together and not crash!", Cirrus looked at Knight with his 'Don't you dare do it again' eyes. All of them shared a laugh together before going to their own way.

Location
Ponyville, Rarity's Boutique

"Rarity! Are you home? I'm here to pick up my clothes!", David shouted and hoping that she was home, he doesn't like wearing the same clothes for days.

"I'll be down there in just a tick, dear!", her voice could be heard upstairs by David. Moments later, she walked down stairs with a box levitating in front of her.

"Okay, here you go!", she puts the box down in front of David, he opened the box and saw a bunch of clothes with the style that looked exactly like the ones on Earth, 'This is interesting.', David thought to himself. He saw something that fits his style, a red t-shirt and a black leather jacket with some jeans.

He asked Rarity, "Where did you get all of the materials for this?"

She simply answered, "Every fashion designer must have the ideas and the materials based on their customer's look. Do you like what you see, dear?"

"Oh you bet I am, I love it!"

"I'm glad you like it, David. Do you need anything else?"

David thought of what he would need for later, but nothing came into his mind, "Nah. I think I'm good for now. But I got to repay you for doing this somehow."

"Oh you don't need to pay me anything, dear!"

"If that's what you wanted, then okay. I need to go and work now, I'll catch you later, Rarity.", David said as he picked up the box and left the boutique with Rainbow.

The day at the farm was the same like the others, they lift, they laugh, they had fun and it all ended up being David hurting himself, but they still have fun after that.

"Hey Dash?", David spoke up.

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to go to dinner with me tomorrow?"

Rainbow was surprise after hearing that, "Me? Why me?"

David just chuckles and said, "Because you are an interesting pony to talk to, so what do you say? In or out?"

Rainbow didn't said anything, she responded with multiple nods with a glee on her face. David said goodbye to Rainbow before heading back to the library, he needed to ask Twilight about something.

"Twilight! I got an important question I need to ask you!"

Twilight just ran out of the kitchen, "What is it? What's so important? Where am I? What am I holding?", she said while lifting up a spatula.

David chuckles and back to asking the question, "So Twilight, I need you to answer something. Are you up for that?"

"I can answer anything, throw your questions at me!"

"Do you happen to know any creature living on this planet that has a shadowy figure?"

"From my knowledge, I think there hasn't been a shadow-type creature living here before. But why are you asking this question?"

"Personal reasons, don't wanna talk about it."

Twilight frowned, "Okay. Oh! Dinner is up! Are you up for that as well?"

David responded with a grin, "Why would I skip dinner after a long day of lifting?", he said while flexing his muscles, making Twilight let out a giggle. After a long day of pain, David still think of what and who was that creature that held his wife.

He scratches that thought and tries to think of Cassiel, he might know the answer there.

Chapter 7: The Answer and the Date

Location
David's Dream Realm

"Cassiel! Are you here? Where are you?", David shouted as he tries to look for Cassiel, the one who might know the answer for the creature he had encounter before.

"Yes, David. I know what is your question, and before you ask. I've seen it all."

David was confused and spoke up, "You've seen it all? Why didn't you do anything about it? Why didn't you help me save my wife?!"

"I'm sorry, David. But there was nothing I can do about it, his powers are a lot stronger than mine."

"Who is he? Why is he targeting me and my family?"

"He goes by the name of King Sombra. He was the one who has been defeated by the Elements of Harmony, he seeks for revenge after his defeat."

"But why me? Why the humans?", David questioned.

"That, I don't know, David. He must have choose you for a reason."

"What ever that reason is, I'm still gonna kick him right in the knob for touching my wife."

Cassiel let out a long sigh before saying, "You can't defeat him in this form David. He can easily rip you apart if you go near him. Didn't you saw what he did to you last time?"

David immediately thought back the time he flung him, "Oh...right. About that, how am I supposed to defeat him now?"

"Every one has their weakness, maybe your friends can help you with the knowledge of beating him, since they have done it before. In the meantime, you can practice what you've learn here."

"Hmm, not bad of an idea to ask Twilight on how to beat him. I'll keep that thought in mind as soon as I wake up."

Cassie chuckles before saying, "Oh you will wake up in three...two...one"

Location
Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library

After hearing Cassiel said that, David felt a tingling sensation on his nose, he blindly tries to swipe it off but only felt a kind of cream on his face.

"What in the world is this?", he said while looking at his hands, it was clearly filled with whip-cream. He looked over and saw Rainbow just laughing, very loudly. Making Twilight jumped out of her bed and went up stairs.

"Rainbow! What are you doing here in the morning in David's room laughing?!", Twilight angrily said.

"Oh! You should have seen his face!"

"Hardy-har-har, I can't believe I got pranked with one of the oldest trick in the history of pranks. But on the second hand, this cream taste good.", he said while licking the cream off his finger.

"You gotta admit it, David. That was a pretty good prank!", Rainbow said while still trying to hold her laugh.

"That was a good one, but you should stop sneaking up to my window and prank me every morning from now and then."

"Aw, you no fun. Anyways, get your clothes on, let's go and have breakfast."

"I'm already on it, would you like to come with us, Sparkles?", David said while putting on his his signature clothes, a red shirt and a black leather jacket.

"You two go ahead, I need to get back to my sleep after reading all of those books yesterday.", she said while letting out a yawn.

"Oh I got something to ask you this evening, are you up for that?"

Twilight was curious on what he was planning to ask, but she tries not to think of that much, "Sure David, you can ask me anything at anytime."

He nods at Twilight before escorting Rainbow out of the library. Leaving her mumbling to herself, "I wonder what kind of question he's gonna ask, it does sound important. I'll leave it for tonight, too tired to think.", she said as she falls down David's bed, didn't even think of using her bed that time.

Location
Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres

After having breakfast, the two walked to the farm. On their way there, they spotted Applejack carrying some crates. But these crates are a lot bigger than what David used to saw everyday at work.

"Hey there, Applejack. Do you need any help carrying those crates?"

"Nah, I'm fine. You two go to the farm, I'll meet ya there."

David and Rainbow walked to Applejack and started picking up the crates, Rainbow spoke up, "Nope, we can't leave you here carrying these crates alone. Besides, we haven't warm up yet."

Applejack let out a long sigh before saying, "Fine, you two can carry those to the farm."

"Why do you need these crates anyways?", David questioned.

"A customer was ordering some apples and the crates that we have is not enough."

David looked around the crate and said, "Not enough? Are you serious? This thing looks like it can hold over a ton, how are you gonna carry it when it is filled with apples?"

"Do you not remember Big Mac? Besides, I'm not the only one who will carry this."

"Oh right, I totally forgot about Mac. But anyways, let's get these things to the farm.", David said and the other responded with a nod. The three walked to the farm, doing what they do best. While they were working, David spotted a pink pony bouncing around looking for someone, it was Pinkie.

"Hi there David! How are you doing? I'm doing great, thanks!"

'Normal Pinkie is not normal', David thought to himself and said, "Hey Pinkie, I'm doing great, thanks for asking. What are you doing here in the farm."

"I'm here to deliver a box filled with cupcakes!"

David was confused and said, "Cupcakes? None of us ordered cupcakes, Pinkie."

"None of you did but Twilight ordered it!", she said.

David thought to himself, 'Huh, Twilight never buys anything for me. But hey, free cupcakes!'

"Okay, I'll take it.", he grabbed the box and opened it, inside, there was 12 cupcakes with multicolor frosting on top.

He took a bite at one with the blue frosting, it took awhile for him to respond so he took another bite and said, "How much sugar there is in this cupcake? I feel like I'm gonna have diabetes if I ate too much of these."

"If I could estimate how much sugar in one cupcake, I'll say two tea spoons."

His jaws just dropped, two tea spoons was too much for him, "Maybe eating this is a bad idea, I should give this to the other two. Next time if you try to kill me with sugar, make sure you make it less sweet."

Pinkie nodded at David, he brought the cupcakes to Applejack and Rainbow and the two had a break while David continues to work. After a long day at the farm, it was close to six P.M, he had an hour to prepare before taking Rainbow out to dinner. He was making a run towards the library, but unfortunately was cut off by Rainbow standing inches away from the doorway.

"Woah there, hotshot! Where do you think you're going?"

"We're not going to dinner yet, you still have an hour to prepare.", David said while attempting to reach the library door but only fail.

"That's not why I'm here. I'm here because I want to know where you are gonna take me."

David face palmed and said while his fave was still in his hand, "Can't you just wait for another hour? When did you get excited about this anyways?"

Rainbow almost didn't find the answer for that but she improvised, "Excited? Nah, I'm just curious to find out how far this place is so I won't carry you home when you had too much to drink!"

"Oh hardy-har-har, very funny. Now if you excuse me, I need to go change my clothes, you can wait inside if you want to.", he said while opening the door, inviting Rainbow in.

"Nah, I need to get back to my house and feed Tank, also I forgot something back there. I'll see you here in an hour!", she said as she flies off.

David walked into the house and saw Twilight with a glee, looks like she had heard everything.

"Looks like somepony got Rainbow's attention! That's a first!", she said in a mocking tone.

"What's the big deal anyways? It's not like I'm the first one to ask her for dinner."

"Well on the record, you are the first one that has asked her out."

David was surprised after she said that, "Excuse me, could you rephrase that?

"You heard me, David. You're the first one to ask her out! And if you're asking why nopony asked her out is because of her tomboyish attitude. I guess nopony liked it."

"Okay then, I'll used that information to myself. For now, I'm gonna go back to my box and see if there is a nice suit waiting for me.", he said as he walked upstairs to the box filled with clothes. He quickly searches the box if there was a suit in there, surprisingly, there was.

'Perfect', he thought to himself and carry the suit to the bathroom. Moments later, he walked out with a perfected suit made by Rarity.

David walked to the nearby mirror and said to himself, "Wow, you're looking good, David, better thank Rarity the next time I see her again."

He combed his hair and checked the clock, he still has fifteen minutes before going out so he grabbed a nearby book and started reading it. After fifteen minutes, he heard a knock on the door. Twilight opened it and he saw Rainbow standing there, but something was different about her.

"Hey hotshot! Are you ready to go yet?"

He didn't answer her, he was still astonished of how she looked so different because of her ponytail hairstyle, it looks like she has changed her personality completely.

He shakes his head back to consciousness and said, "Sorry, I just lost myself because of your hair. It makes you look so different!"

"Oh you liked it? I haven't done this hairstyle for so long but it does make me look like a kid."

"Like it? No, love it? Yes, you should keep the hair that way, it fits you in some kind of way."

"Keep it? Nah, I usually do this on special occasions only. Or somepony happens to make me dress like a princess with all of those makeups, yuck!", she said while making a disgust noise towards the make-ups, sounds like she hates it.

"You will still look fine without makeups, it's just the hair that I like... and maybe the eyes, too. But I'll let that conversation pinned onto the board, let's go shall we?"

Rainbow answered it with a nod, he escorted her to the restaurant, leaving Twilight looking at them leave and said, "I'm happy for him, jealous, but happy at the same time.".

Location
Ponyville, Lakeside Cloud

"So this is the place you wanted to take me?", Rainbow asked while looking at the restaurant.

"Yes, I knew this place awhile ago and I heard that this is a perfect place to take you out for dinner.", he said while inviting Dash to come inside. The two walked inside the restaurant and sat down to a table.

A waiter came up and asked for their orders, "What will you two be ordering tonight? Would you like some drinks while you are waiting?", they both ordered salad and water only. The rest of the night was talking and making jokes, nothing was really special happening.

After dinner, both of them had a long walk home, on their way back, both of them took a seat next to a fountain. Rainbow was the one who spoke up, "David, could you tell me the story of how you got here?"

She looked at him with her cerise eyes, he couldn't help but say yes, "Oh alright, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't fall asleep when I'm telling it, got it?

"Okay, sir!", she said while giving him a salute.

David chuckles and cleared his throats before telling, "It was December, the last month of the year..."

Ten minutes later...

"...and I met Twilight, the rest is history. So how do you like i-", before he could finish his sentence, he looked next to him and saw Rainbow sleeping with her head resting on his shoulder. He didn't felt it when he was telling the story, maybe he was too into it.

David shook her gently but no responds, he let out a sigh before quietly saying to himself, "Looks like you're the one who is going to be carried home.", he chuckles and started to lift her up and carry her back to the library.

He luckily made it back to the library without waking her up, he knocked the door and it was opened by Twilight.

Twilight noticed David was carrying Dash and quickly asked, "David, what happened to Rainbow?"

He walked inside and said, "Nothing, she just fell asleep and that's all. She'll be sleeping in my room tonight, do you got any spare blankets that I can have? Because I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight."

"I do have some, you take her to your room while I get some blankets.", she said and walked to her room.

David slowly lift her up, trying hard not to wake her up. He walked upstairs to his room, set her on his bed and make her look like she was at home. He got out of his room, slowly closing the door behind him as he whips out the last sweat off his forehead.

David walked downstairs and saw that the couch was perfectly modified, it looks a little bigger and more comfortable than ever.

"Thank you Twilight. Are you ready to answer the question?", David asked.

"Sure, David. Ask me anything you like."

"Okay, I know you answered this one before but I want this to be more specific. How did you actually defeat King Sombra?"

"We use the power of the crystal ponies and the elements to defeat him. My brother and Princess Cadence also helped us defeat him. But can I ask why do you want to know this?"

"For curiosity reasons. Anyway, I should be sleeping now. Why don't we both do that?", he answered and let out a yawn.

"Okay, goodnight, David", she said and walked into her room.

"Goodnight, Sparkles.", he looked at his room's door and quietly said, "Goodnight, Rainbow Dash."

His vision began to blurry, and then he was asleep. He got the answered he needed and a perfect date. Living here might not as bad as he thinks, but he got a problem he needed to take care of in the future.

Chapter 8: The Training Ground

Location
David's Dream Realm

"I got the answer we needed, Cassiel. What do we do now?"

"Now, we train.", she said as she teleports David into some kind of barrack, in there was two dummies. But these aren't the normal training dummies he knows, this thing was made entirely out of flesh and bones, and the surprising thing was: they can move. One of them was wearing a tuxedo while the other was wearing a black t-shirt with jeans like a normal teenager.

"What in the world is this place?", David said while looking at one of the dummies, it turned back at him and make him a little bit startled.

"Welcome to The Barracks, David. This place is going to be our training ground."

"Greetings, David. Would you like to have a hand-to-hand combat?", one of the dummy said while lifting up its fist, looking like it is ready to fight.

David took a step back before saying, "Woah, hold your horses! I'm not here to fight anybody, at least give me some times to train first."

The dummy stand back to its normal stance and spoke up, "Fair enough, sir. Would you like us to train you with your combat skills, sir?"

David looked at Cassiel and whispered, "Do you think this is a good idea to have them teach me hand-to-hand combat? Because the last time I remember, I needed magic to defeat Sombra."

"Do not worry about it, it is best to have yourself prepared than unprepared. Besides, you don't know what could possibly harm you out there."

He took a glance at the dummies before turning back to Cassiel, "Okay, these things better help me defeat Sombra or I'm good as dead."

David walked towards the dummies and gesture his hand for a handshake, "If you want train me, at least give me a name so I could remember."

Two of them just stood there, not knowing what is a handshake, one of them spoke up, "We maybe intelligent but there are somethings that we don't know. Also, we do not have names."

David didn't say anything but sighed and pulled his hand back, he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out, he was still shocked about the fact that something knows language and combat doesn't know handshakes.

He turned back to Cassiel and said, "Would you like me to name them or you do it?", Cassiel responded with a point of a finger, implying that he should do it.

"Okay then, you, with the tuxedo, I don't know why you would wear that to fight but I would like to call you Charles. And you, with the black t-shirt, I would like to call you Thomas. Does that sounds good to you two?", the dummies looked at each other for a second and turned back to David to give him a nod.

"Ace! Now then, about the training, what should we do first? I'm not good at combat so take it easy on me."

Charles chuckles while cracking his hands and said, "Sure, David. We'll do whatever you prefer."

Thomas and Charles quickly lunge at David with full speed, with full cautiousness, he dodges out the sudden attack. The dummies targeted David again but this time, each of them went separate ways, Thomas attacks first but misses David, giving him false hope for Charles to come up and land a blow, making David fell down on the floor, holding his face in pain.

"What was that for?", David said while still holding his face, he thinks his nose was bleeding.

"That, sir, is what we called 'Warm Up'. We were just testing your agility and strength, but it seems like you're not quite fast or strong enough.", Charles said.

"Testing?! Is that what you called testing? Because I guess testing means killing to you!"

Thomas chuckles, "You know about the fact that we can't kill you in this world, don't you? Also, we can't make you bleed here. The only thing we can do is hurt you."

"You can't make me bleed? Then what is this liquid streaming down my no-", he checked the liquid from his nose to see that it has no color, it was crystal clear like water.

"That is not your blood, it makes you feel like you are bleeding but you're not. Just add some kind of realistic experience in it, you don't want to paint this room with red, don't you?", Cassiel said.

"Absolutely not. Anyways, I would like to wake up now. ", David said while looking at Cassiel. Before she could speak up, Charles knocked him out cold.

"Charles! What was that for?", Cassidy shouted.

Charles looked at Cassiel with a confused look, "Isn't that how you wake him up?"

"It is one of the ways but let me do it next time with another way, he doesn't like getting knocked out."

"Okay, but it's still funny to see him knocked out, isn't that right, 'Thomas'?", Charles said and the other responded with a nod, they both laugh, leaving Cassiel shaking her head in disapproval.

David eyes went wide open and he quickly gasp for air, that knockout wasn't the thing he was expecting, it doesn't hurt him but he's still mad about the fact that it was a surprise punch.

"I'm so gonna give them a piece of me when I get back there.", David said and let out a sigh.

He checked the clock to see it was six o'clock in the morning, this is usually the time when he wakes up. He got out of the couch, he realized that he went to sleep with the suit so he has to go upstairs and get his clothes. David knew this isn't going to be easy.

David walked upstairs while tiptoeing, making as less sound as possible, he doesn't want to wake up the two sleeping in this place. David reached the door of his room, slowly and carefully opening it, he saw Rainbow was still sleeping in his bed.

He smiles and thought to himself, 'Better let her sleep for the rest of the day.'

David continues to tiptoe his way to the clothes box. While he was doing it, the floor creaked, sounds like he was about to kill himself because of that noise. He looked over to Rainbow to see that she was still sleeping, he grabbed his signature clothes as fast as he could and got out of the room without waking her up.

'That was close. Too close to be exact.', he thought to himself while changing his clothes.

Ponyville, The Spring Flower

David opened the door to see Cirrus and Knight sitting there, enjoying their food. Both of them noticed David walked into the store and Knight spoke up, "Hey there, David! How have you been?"

David grabbed a seat next to Cirrus and spoke up, "I'm pretty good, thanks for asking. How about you two? Have you two discovered out a new trick to crash into others yet?"

Cirrus chuckles and said, "You haven't gotten over that yet, haven't you?"

"Nope, that's gonna be a scar staying on my head for the rest of my life, not gonna let it go that easily.", David responded and the three share a laugh together.

"Anyways, I got a question for you, how did the date went?", Knight asked

David was confused at first but then he remembered the other night with Rainbow, he tries to defend it, "Date? What date? I don't remember dating anybody. Are you guys trying to mess with my mind?"

Cadastra joins in the conversation, "You know you can't fool us when there is proof, right?", she said and put a newspaper down the table, David inspect the front page to saw what surprises him, 'Human dating the Element of Loyalty!'

'I'm so gonna kill the reporter for this.', he thought to himself and said, "How long has this been a thing?"

"About an hour ago.", the three said in a unison.

"How could this be a thing? I mean, I just took her out for dinner and that's all!"

"Oh it is a big deal alright, I've heard from somepony that she's a pretty hard mare for anyone to make a move.", Cadastra said.

"So Twilight wasn't kidding at all.", he mumbles to himself.

"I'm sorry, what was that?", Cadastra asked.

"Nothing. Anyways, I probably should get going. I'll see you guys later.", he said and left in a flash, leaving the three looking at him with a confused look.

"Do you guys think he and Rainbow would be together someday?", Knight asked and the other answered with a nod.

Sweet Apple Acres

"Hey there, Applejack.", David said as he waved at the farm pony.

"Hiya there, David! Where's Dash? I thought she was with you.", she said trying to hold her laugh.

David let out a sigh before spoke up, "You know about the news too?"

"Darn tootin'! I gotta admit, ya got some guts just to ask her out, nopony has ever done that before!"

"Why is everyone keep saying that? Why don't people just talk to her and ask her out? She's a nice pony!", he said while still trying to defend himself.

"She's nice, Ah could say that but there's something strange about her when she's near you. Her normal personality wasn't there anymore! But Ah think that's just me."

"That's a strange thing to know. Anyways, I'm gonna be taking over Rainbow's work today."

"David, if ya work too much, you're gonna have the enough strength to work tomorrow, are you sure you wanted to do her work?", Applejack said with a worried tone.

"Hey, that's what friends do, right? Besides, I got all of the strength I need for tomorrow so I will still be fresh as a lettuce by tomorrow."

"You know what, David? I think this is why she treats you differently to the others. You are just too perfect!"

'Yeah, that maybe the reason.', David thought to himself and went to work.

After 12 long hours of lifting up crates, he feel tired but also stronger, let's see if he will qualify for the 'test'.
But his thoughts are interrupted by Twilight sitting there, with a note levitating in front of her.

She spoke up, "David, Rainbow left a note for you."

Twilight levitate the note to David and started to read it,
'Dear David, by the time you read this than I am probably home by now. I appreciate you carrying me home the other night and taking my work shift for the day. I promise to repay you someday. Sincerely, Rainbow Dash."

"Thanks for holding this for me Twilight, when did you get this anyway?", David asked while folding the note.

"I found it at the door of your room when I went to wake Rainbow up.", she answered.

"Okay, thanks again Twilight. Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna go to bed.", he said as he walked to his room, opened the door to see that everything was back into places, he didn't knew who did this but he collapsed onto the bed before he could think of another word.

David still got a long way to go, now that he has started training, he hopes that it will help him... hopefully.

Chapter 9: Visiting the Princess

Location
David's Dream Realm

"Alright, who's the one that bloody knocked me out?", David angrily said.

"Pardon for my rudeness, sir. I was the one who did it, I didn't know there were other ways to wake you up. I promise it will never be occurred again.", Charles spoke up.

"Your punches don't do any bad to me so I guess you're good to go, but if you do it again, don't ask why when I kill you."

"Trust me, sir. I'll be following your command from now on."

David looked at Cassiel and said, "Did you do anything to them? I swore they were more... different."

Cassiel chuckles and replied, "No, David. They changed it themselves, don't you remember they are intelligent? Besides, the angrier you get, the harder it is for you to train."

David thought about it for a second before speaking up, "Huh, I guess you're right. I'll have to get used to it now."

He turned back to the tuxedo wearing dummy and told him, "So, what are we doing today? Are you two gonna 'test' me again to see if I qualify?"

Thomas walks into view and said, "After that test, we thought that you would be out of strength to continue the training. So instead of testing you with brute strength, we're gonna let you test yours on us."

David was confused at first but spoke up, "Does that mean I can knock one of you two out and then see if I am strong enough?"

"Basically, yes.", Thomas replied.

"I want to do it but I feel bad for punching for doing nothing other than teaming up on me the other time."

"Relax, sir. We're dummies! You can't physically hurt us in this world, we are tough as nails."

David sigh and said, "Fine, let the training begins."

Thomas and Charles gave him a nod before ready up for the first punch, they perfectly stand still and waiting and expecting David would knock them both out. But the results are quite disappointing, he strikes Thomas but he didn't even flinch, same goes with Charles.

"You have to hit harder than that just to knock us down, David.", Thomas said.

He breathed in and out before taking a step backward, lunging full speed at Charles and gave him a full blow to the stomach. But yet again, nothing has seemed to damage him, not even a scratch. Charles chuckles and flung him across the room.

"You are about to face a creature so powerful, he could fling you further than that. Think about your enemy, think about your wife and family, David."

David's eyes went wide opened, he knew that Sombra was having a hold of Sheryn. What if Sheryn was hurt? Even worst, what if he got a hold of the children? Many questions were rambling in his head, many possibility Sombra could do with his family. Tears began to roll down his cheek and landed on his right fist. He knew if he doesn't knock one of these guys out, he won't be able to knock Sombra out.

He goes in for the punch. Surprisingly, it manage to bend Charles in half!

"Huh, this is awkward. Can someone bend me back into place, please?", Charles asked.

David was just standing there, he was flabbergasted by the fact that he could punch Charles in half.

"Did anybody blessed me with some kind of power? Cassiel, did you did this?", David said while still looking at his hand.

"No, it wasn't me this time.", she responded.

"That's strange... someone, wake me up right now. I need to take a walk.", he demands and looked at Cassiel, she snapped her fingers and David disappeared.

"It's he fine by any chances? Cassiel?", Thomas asked.

"I don't know Thomas, I'm feeling kind of weird about the fact that he got that power out of thin air."

"Guys, I'm still bend in half! Someone lift me up, please?", Charles joins in the conversation while still being in half. Thomas and Cassiel let out a chuckle before transforming him back into his normal body.

"Good to be awake without having a fist in the face.", he mumbles to himself.

"David! Wake up and come down stairs now!", Twilight shouted.

David checked the clock to saw it turned to 8 o'clock, he sure woke up late this time. He grabbed his clothes and walked downstairs to saw that Twilight was holding a some kind of scroll.

She noticed David and spoke up, "David, come here and read this letter, looks like Princess Celestia got some words for you."

"How did you know that it was from the Princess to me?"

"Every scroll she sent me has a special kind of seal sealing the scroll. That's how I know that it was from her, also it said that this needs to be given to you."

Twilight levitated the letter to David, he grabbed and read it carefully, he doesn't want to misread anything from anyone who is from a royal bloodline.

"She said that I should bring all of the Elements to Canterlot. Also, she said that she need to have a private conversation with me.", he said while folding up the scroll.

"Why does she wants the Elements to be there? This has to be something bad... or good... who the hay actually knows anyway!"

"You go get the others, I'll go do something and we'll meet somewhere.", he told Twilight.

"Sounds like a plan to me. I'll see you at the train station with the others and we'll be heading off to Canterlot."

He replied with a nod and Twilight walked out of the library. David head upstairs and prepared to visit the Princess, he took a look at his family photo before saying, "Don't worry Sheryn, I will get you out of this mess soon.". David walked out of the library, hoping the Princess had some good news.

Location
Ponyville's Train Station

David walked to the train station and saw everybody there. Rainbow walked up to him and said, "Hey there, hotshot! I heard that Celestia is going to talk to you. Is it something important?"

"I don't know, Dash. She wanted to talk to me for some reason.", David replied.

Rainbow just shook it off and walked into the train, followed up by the rest of the Elements, Fluttershy stopped in front of David and told him, "If there's anything wrong, you know who to talk to."

He nodded at her before hoping on the train.

Location
Canterlot

Everyone walked out of the train after a long ride to Canterlot. But it was worth it to David, he saw the most fascinating thing he could have ever saw: A castle on the edge of a mountain.

"Amazing, isn't it?", Rarity said and stood next to David with his jaw still dropped.

"Amazing? Not quite, more than amazing? Yes! That's like the hardest thing to ever pull off, how can your kinds do such things so easily?", he asked.

"Magic, darling! Have you forgotten that we have magic to work for us?"

David thought about it at first before realizing that there is magic in this world, "Oh yeah, I think I forgot about that. I wish my home planet can have those magics, it could make everything easier."

Rarity chuckles and continue to walk with the others, David shook his head before following them. They walked for a moment before arriving at the doorstep of the castle. It was highly guarded as David was expected. Twilight walked towards one of the guards and started talking to him. After a few moments, they opened the gates for them to walk in.

"Come on, everypony. Follow me.", Twilight said and the other followed.

'I'm gonna get lost in this thing if I don't do what she said', David thought to himself while looking around the castle. There were doors everywhere, David was curious enough to open one door.

"David, stop opening doors and follow me, you don't want to get lost in here.", Twilight told him.

He heard what she said and closed the door. They finally got to the room, David saw another pony sitting on the throne and immediately thought that it was Celestia. The others bow down to her and David did it as well, he kneel one knee down like his kind did when they meet the queen.

"Stand up, my little ponies. Hello, David. I'm glad that you came here."

"It's a pleasure meeting you, Princess Celestia."

"It is my pleasure as well, David. Now if you girls excuse me, I need to have a private talk with him."

The mares left Celestia and David alone in the gigantic room. Celestia was the one who broke the silence, "I know King Sombra is returning for revenge."

"You knew? How could you tell he was coming back?", David asked with a confused look.

"I knew he was coming back since the day you came here, David."

"Why didn't you tell anyone about this?"

Celestia let out a sigh before continuing, "I can't tell anyone about this. If they knew, the whole kingdom will be a chaos filled with ponies running around knowing that he is coming back. It is best for me to keep this secret."

"Secret? What's the point of keeping it secret anyways? He could strike us at any moment right now, aren't you supposed to tell the Elements about this?"

"Telling them is hopeless, they can't defeat him now since he had known everything about our magic. He can predict what we will do to him."

"Then what do you want me to do? Tickle him to death?", David said.

"Remember the time you punch one of your trainers in half? That was the magic I grant you. You can do things that Sombra can't predict. He is a careless pony, he will accept any challenge from challengers. Maybe you could use that advantage and challenge him to combat. That is why I need you, David. I need you to protect my kingdom."

He looked back at his right fist and remembered the punch he did this morning, it was powerful enough to bend Charles in half, he spoke up, "Fighting may not be my cup of tea but I will do it. For my wife and for your kingdom. But on one condition."

"Tell me your request and you will receive it."

"I would like my trainers, Thomas and Charles to assist me defeating King Sombra."

Celestia thought about it for a second before answering, "Very well, they will be at your side when you confront Sombra. Also, I would like you to give this box to the girls, it's a present I wanted to give them."

Celestial levitate a box to David, it was a small and regular box, nothing seems to be special about it.

"Don't worry, I will hand this over to them when I'm done talking to you."

"Our conversation ends here, David. You can leave now.", Celestia told him.

"Oh, okay. I guess I'll be leaving now. I see you next time, Princess Celestia.", he said and left the room.

He opened the door and saw that the six were eager to hear what she had told him. Pinkie said while bouncing around David, "What did she told you? Is it good? Is it bad? What's in the box?"

"Our conversation is not matter, what matters is what's inside the box. You guys should open it."

The six were confused at first, Twilight grabbed the box and began to open it. Revealing what was inside, it was six tickets made out of gold!

Rainbow gasped and told David, " David! Do you know what this is?"

"Tickets made out of gold that could probably make you all minted?", he replied with a confused look.

"Beside that, these are the tickets use to enter the Grand Galloping Gala!", Rainbow exclaimed.

David was shocked after hearing that, he knew this event is one of the largest one in Equestria.

"Are you serious?! Congratulations, everyone! You girls just got the tickets to the best night of your life!"

Everypony was cheering and screaming with joy, David was standing there, feeling happy for them. But Rainbow knew that he was still sad inside about his family, she needed to cheer him up somehow. Suddenly, an idea popped out.

"Since I can bring another pony with this ticket, why don't you come with me, David?"

David was a little bit shocked about this and said, "What? You can't be serious."

"Well, I did said that I do need to repay you someday and this is the perfect time to do it!", Rainbow replied.

David was thinking for a nice thing to say but there was nothing in his mind, he improvise by hugging Rainbow tightly, "I don't know anything to say but thank you."

Her blush can be seen from miles away, but she doesn't care, she returned the hug and said, "No problem, pal. You can let go of me now."

David let go of Rainbow and chuckles for a little bit, the laugh was followed up by the others. Twilight broke the laugh and spoke up, "Okay, let's go home now."

"Can't we just live here for a day and then go back to Ponyville? We just got here!", David said.

"You all can stay in the castle tonight. Guards, take them to their rooms.", Celestial joined the conversation.

"Thank you so much for your hospitality, Princess Celestial.", Twilight said.

The guards took each of them to their room, it took the guards awhile for then to navigate their way to the room. David was sent to a more high-class room than the other, he went in the room and look around. It felt like he was in a five stars hotel, but importantly, it has a balcony with an amazing view of the things below the mountain, it was also like he was a princess trapped in a tower. Suddenly, a bird flew into the room, he looked behind him and saw that Riptide was back. David wasn't carrying his gauntlet this time so he has to let it fly freely.

He knew that danger was around the corner somewhere, he tries not to think of it too much. For now, he must get ready for the night at the Gala.

Chapter 10: The Unexpected Visitors

Location
David's Dream Realm

"I'm back, pardon me for leaving so early yesterday.", David told the others.

"Welcome back, David. I heard that you had a conversation with Celestia, did she told you anything important?", Cassiel asked.

David was about to answer the question but questioned her, "Hold on a minute, how did you know that I was with Celestia?"

"I have known Celestia for quite along time now, David. She told me that she will assist you on defeating Sombra.", Cassiel replied.

"You knew Celestia for a long time and you didn't tell me?"

"Yes, I didn't tell you about the fact that I knew her is because I know you will eventually meet her someday."

David sighed and scratches that aside, he looked around to see that Thomas and Charles are no where to be found.

"Can you tell me where are Charles and Thomas?", he asked Cassiel while still looking around, even though this is just a screen of whiteness.

"They are being teleported by Celestia to your place."

His eyes went wide opened, he didn't knew that they would be in Equestria that early, "What? But I told Celestia to sent them to me when I confront Sombra! How am I gonna train now?"

"You will train normally like you do here, the only thing different is that they are not going to be tough like they used to. They will be getting the same body structure as you do. They can now bleed and be injured so go easy on them."

"If they can bleed and injured, then how in the bollocks are they gonna help me kill Sombra?"

"You, Thomas and Charles will receive special powers from Celestia, you will gain Resistance, Strength and Agility. But getting Resistance doesn't mean you are invincible, you can still take damage but they are minimal."

"I guess that makes everything easier then. Can you tell me the exact location of the other two?", David asked.

"They are right outside your doorstep right now, if you want to, I could wake you up and let you talk to them."

"That's the only way I guess, there are no reasons for me to stay here. Wake me up, Cassiel."

With a snap of a finger, David then disappeared again leaving Cassiel alone in this world.

Location
Canterlot's Castle

David woke up in the place he has been offered yesterday. The bed was comfortable enough for him to fell asleep within seconds. David heard a noise outside the room, it sounds like there are at least two people out there talking. He got out of bed and grabbed his clothes, opened the door and saw Charles and Thomas was talking to Rainbow.

"Good morning, sir. It appears that your friend has found us.", Thomas spoke up.

He looked and saw Rainbow was hovering next to Thomas.

"Rainbow? What are you doing here?", David asked.

"Me? I was just sleeping until your snoring woke me up! I heard it from like a mile away! Besides, why didn't you told me about this?", she backfired David.

'Bollocks, should have told Dash about these two and Sombra earlier.', he thought to himself while defending, "What are you talking about? Tell you about what?"

"About you having these two cool dudes as your friends!", she said.

"Well sorry, I didn't thought them being here was possible. Did they told you about anything?", David looked at Thomas and Charles with his suspicious eyes and also begging they didn't told her about Sombra.

"They only told me about them being friends with you and live near your house, that's all.", Rainbow said.

'Phew! That was close, I can't let her be worried about this.', he thought to himself once again.

"Okay. Oh and can you please give me a moment with these two?", he told Rainbow and continued to look at Charles and Thomas.

"Sure! I'll meet you at the castle gate with the others, we are going to explore Canterlot while we're at it.", Rainbow replied and flies off.

David turned back to the other two just to saw that they were walking off as well, "Hey! Where do you think you're going?"

"Uhhh.... nowhere?", Thomas replied.

"Did anyone of you told her about Sombra or the training we had in my dream? Also, how did you guys know that I was in that room for you two to stood infront of?", David asked with a concerned look on his face.

"Don't worry about it, sir. We're good at keeping our mouth shut, that's our specialty. We knew that you were in the room because your friend happens to tell us that you were sleeping in there. Now if you excuse us, we're gonna get some newspaper and read.", Charles said.

David was about to question on how they are gonna get newspaper to read but he tries not to question them too much. He let out a sigh before nodding at them. They nodded back before wandering off inside the castle, David hopes they don't get into trouble or do anything stupid.

He walked down to the castle gate with the guard that led him to his room yesterday, he saw that everyone was there, including Thomas and Charles, both of them were holding a newspaper.

"Morning everyone, I guess you've found my missing friends.", David said.

"Good morning David, and yes, we did found your friends. Can you explain how did they got here?", Twilight asked.

"How did they got here? How should I know?", he knew the answer but tried not to tell them.

"I don't know! I'm just asking!"

"You two break it up now, none of us knows how we got here, so the question will be unanswered.", Charles said while trying to stop the argument.

"Oh alright, should we go out now or should we stay here and then go back to Ponyville?", David asked.

"Are you kidding me? This is Canterlot, dear! This is the opportunity to see everything!", Rarity spoke up.

"Rarity, this ain't Manehattan. Ya know that, right?", Applejack pointed that out.

"Tell me the difference between Canterlot and Manehattan, darling."

Applejack ran out of words to say because she hasn't been to Manehattan before so she can't really compare the two.

"You see? Now stop your whining and follow me, we're going shopping!", Rarity said as she carried Applejack along with her.

"Everypony! Grab someone and go do something and meet at somewhere!.", Pinkie shouted and quickly grabbed Fluttershy and ran off.

'She just stole my line!', David thought to himself and spoke up, "Normal Pinkie is not normal. Anyways, that left us five here. Anyone want to run around trying to find a ruckus?"

"We're not going to do that, right?", Twilight asked with a little bit of concern.

"Of course not! I'm just saying it to blow your jeans. What kind of a person am I to destroy this place?", David said with a confident tone, knowing that it won't happen anytime soon.

"Okay then, let's go find something interesting to do while we're at it."

David and the other four walked around Canterlot to find something interesting to do. But seems like every step they took, another pair of eyes were looking at them. Ponies in the streets were whispering, giggling at David and Rainbow Dash whenever they got close to each other.

"What's up with them?", Rainbow asked.

"If I were to guess, the answers must be on the newspaper. Charles, could you please hand them over?.", David told Charles to hand over the newspaper. He looked at it to see the news from the other day was still at the front page.

'Oh bollocks.', he thought to himself and quickly threw the paper away, that could definitely the reason why everypony was looking at them, they thought that he and Dash was dating!

"Why did you threw the newspaper away, David?", Rainbow said and hovers over to the newspaper, she started reading it and her eyes went wide opened, she was shocked about the fact that her dinner with David was widely known by the others. Rainbow couldn't take the embarrassment and flew off.

"Dash! Wait!", David shouted but it was no used, she was too far away for her to hear him.

"What happe-", it was Twilight's turn to pick up the newspaper and read it, "Oh no, this can't be good!"

"You don't say. I'm gonna go after her. Twilight, I need you to look after these two, can you do that?", David told Twilight and she answered with a nod. David quickly ran towards the location where she flew off.

"Dash! Where are you?", he shouted with hope of finding her somewhere. Suddenly, he saw her sitting on a cloud above him. David sighed in relief and hope that she's not hurt in any kind of way.

"Rainbow, come down here, we can talk about this. I'm sorry, it's my fault that this thing happens anyway, so you can blame it on me whenever you want to.", David said.

Surprisingly, his words was able to convinced her to come down, she hovers down to his level before spoke up, "It's not your fault that I flew off, David. I did it because I can't feel more embarrass than seeing you and me on the paper that everypony read everyday."

"Come on, Dash. I know you are tougher than that, who cares if we go out for dinner and then got our faces on the paper? The news will be dust on the book in no time and nobody will ever remember it again. So you're coming back with me or not?", David said as he offered his hand to her. She didn't accept it, but instead, she hugged him.

"Thank you, David. Thank you for making me feel better.", she said

David was shocked but the return the hug and replied, "No problem, Dash. We're friends and that's what friends do."

They walked back to the other three. Thomas and Charles was the first one who noticed Rainbow and David walked towards them.

"Sir, are you and your friend alright?", Thomas asked.

"We're fine, thank you for asking. We should get back to the train station, the others are probably waiting for us.", David said while escorting Rainbow back.

Twilight hold David back and whispered to him, "David, what did you said to her?"

"I said that it was my fault and then everything is about to be fine and then that's it.", he responded.

Twilight just went with it and they continued to walk to the train station.

After a long walk, they finally made it to the station. Pinkie and Fluttershy was there but there were no signs of the other two.

"Where's Applejack and Rarity?", David asked.

Before anyone could answer, David spotted Rarity in the distant. She was walking normally but there seems to be no signs of Applejack. But then Applejack came into his view while carrying a bunch of bags.

"Don't even ask what's inside.", Applejack said as she puts the bag down.

"Thank you, darling. Now would you mind loading them up?", Rarity asked and she answered with a grunt but t carries the bag onto the train anyways.

"Back to Ponyville we go. Oh right, where are you two gonna stay when we get there?", David asked while looking at Thomas and Charles.

"Don't worry about us, sir. We normally don't feel tired but if we do, we'll find a place to stay.", Charles replied and the three hopped on the train.

Location
Ponyville's Train Station
'Home sweet home.', David thought to himself and walked off the train, saying goodbye to everyone else and went back to the library with Twilight, Charles and Thomas.

"David, now that we're here, when will we start training again?", Charles whispered quietly.

"We'll start as soon as we settle down at the library and the I'll take you two to a place.", David responded.

They reached the library in a matter of minutes before David spoke up, "Twilight, why don't you go in and have a rest. Me and these two will go somewhere and talk for a bit and we'll come back."

Twilight nodded before going inside, leaving the three standing there. David led his trainers to a nearby park, it was almost dawn and the street lights was about to turn on.

"When the lights turn on, I want one of you to charge at me. Let's try these new bodies you guys had.", David said and other nodded.

The sun was slowly going down, Thomas and Charles were ready. The lights were flickering, once they have been turned on, Thomas charged full speed at David. He noticed that his speed was slower in this world so he dodges the charge with no problems.

"Okay, I think this is going to be harder for us to train you.", Thomas said while he was catching his breath.

"I don't need you guys to train me in this world, I got all of the moves I needed. So now I will have to train you to adapt in this new body of yours.", David told them.

"Yes, sir. We'll do what you demands.", both of them said in a unison.

David chuckles and thought to himself, 'This is going to be interesting.'

The rest of the night was David training Thomas and Charles on how their new bodies work in this world and how they work differently in the other. But he knew that he was missing something. Something that has been a part of his life: his family.

Author's Note

Thomas and Charles are no longer dummies, they are now humans with less powers!

Chapter 11: Shattered Dream

Location
David's Dream Realm

"I welcome you back, David.", David turned around to see Cassiel was smiling at him.

"Hello to you too, Cassiel.", he replied.

"What's your purpose of being here? Aren't you supposed to be dreaming about something else?", Cassiel asked.

"Hold on a second, you didn't sent me here? I thought that I only come here because you want to talk to me or something."

Cassiel was confused and thought that David was right, 'Strange, I am the only one that could let him in this world, who else has the permission to do that besides me?'

"Me.", a voice was coming from the side of Cassiel and David. They turned to see that Sombra was there.

"Sombra? What in the world are you doing here? What do you want?!", David shouted.

Sombra let out a devilish laugh before answering,"What do I want? Simple, I want you both dead."

"Kill us? Not by a close chance, you can't kill me in my dream, right Cassiel?", David said and looked over to Cassiel and saw that she was looking very nervous.

"You think your world can save you from me? I'm the strongest King alive! Your pity little dream can't do anything about it!", Sombra said with his mocking tone.

"He's right, David. His power is powerful enough to shatter this realm into bits. But that doesn't mean you are undefeatable, Sombra!", Cassidy said while looking at Sombra, ready to give him a piece of her mind.

"Oh really? How about I challenge you, Cassiel. If you win, I will leave this place unharmed. But if I win, I will have to kill you and shatter this dream of yours into bits and bits of pieces!"

"Don't worry, Cassiel. I can beat this guy easily, leave it to me.", David said and step foward, but only to be stopped by Cassiel.

"No, David. He challenged me, not you. I can't let you be injured and I will do anything to protect you.", she looked over to Sombra and spoke up, "Your challenge will be accepted, Sombra."

Sombre let out a laugh before speaking up, "Excellent."

A dark beam came out of Sombra's head and went straight for Cassiel. She shoved David out of the way before disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Gone already? I thought you were better than that, Cassiel. You disappointed me, now it is your turn to die, David.", he said while making steps forward David. Everytime he move forward, David crawls backwards.

Suddenly, both David and Sombra heard a noise, it sounds like something was charging up. They looked over to see that Cassiel was holding a sphere, it looks like it was absorbing the power from her.

"You think... you can get rid of me that easy? You haven't seen the things I can do... yet.", as soon as she finished her sentence, the sphere began to shoot rapidly at Sombra, injuring him every shot. Every shot just hit harder until it finally ran out of power.

"It's that all?", he said while grunting in pain, "You need a lot more than that just to take me down!"

"Who said I was done?", the sphere she was holding was getting bigger, absorbing more power from her. It finally stopped taking away the power out of her body, the sphere charged at Sombra with a surprising amount of speed, it exploded in contact and illuminated the whole room. David looked away because the light was so bright, it would have blinded him. He opened his eyes and saw that Sombra was nowhere to be found. He spotted Cassiel was hovering down slowly, he ran towards her and caught her, he didn't know why he was able to touch her but that wasn't important.

"Cassiel! Are you alright? What happened to Sombra?", David said while nervously looking at her, he doesn't want to lose her.

"I-I-I'm okay, David. I'm just... a little bit weak after loosing that much of my energy. You should wake up and go tell the others, I'll be here resting.", her voice sounds weaker than before but David refuse to leave her.

"No, I'm not going to leave you here, not by any chances."

"I'm sorry, David. But you have no choices.", she said and immediately used a bit of her power left in her and teleported David out of his dream.

Location
Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library

David jumped out of bed and was gasping for air once again, 'For the love of God why did you do that, Cassiel. Bollocks!', he swore at himself and quickly picked up his clothes and ran outside. Luckily, Thomas and Charles was conveniently standing outside the library.

"Is there something wrong, sir?", Charles questioned him.

"Sombra... he was there with me and Cassiel. But she went and used up all of her energy and blew him up, but that doesn't mean he's defeated, not that easily. That means we have to train harder, faster and a lot more frequently, he's coming for us."

"But what exactly happened to Cassiel?", Charles asked again.

"After she used her sphere of power, she went weak and woke me up before I could know what happened to her next.", David replied.

"That poor bastard is going to pay for what he has done to Cassiel.", Thomas joins in the conversation and the other two nods at him.

"Now that we agreed to give this bloke a good kicking, let us train our feet to be more stronger so our kicks will be more lethal!", David said and the other agrees by nodding at him.

"Hey guys! What are you three talking about?", David recognized that voice and turned around to see that Rainbow was hovering behind him.

'I knew she was here. How does she always sneaked up on me without anyone noticing?', David thought to himself and replied, "Oh, uh... we're just talking about doing something private in a place."

"Sounds cool! Can I join?"

David looked back at Thomas and Charles to saw that they shrugged at him, he sighed at spoke up, "Okay, you can come. But you can only do stuff when we tell you to, got it?"

Rainbow responded with a glee, he took it as a yes.

Location
Everfree Forest

David and the other three walked to the place where they trained last time, everyone was ready except for Rainbow Dash because she didn't knew what they were doing but she went by a nearby tree and sat on it. She saw that they were discussing about something, after a few minutes, Thomas and Charles split up and went to hide behind some trees and bushed.

Rainbow was still confused on what they were doing so she asked David, "Dude! What are you guys doing? This is the Everfree Forest, not a playground! You can't just go in here and play hide and seek!"

David chuckles and replied, "We're not playing hide and seek, Dash. We are just doing this to test our reflexes. Anything could jump at us at anytime, so we have to get ready for everything. Now then, back to finding the other two."

As he finished his sentence, a nearby bush started to make noise. David heard it and slowly walked towards it, every step he took, another sweat dropped from his forehead. He didn't know if this is a timberwolf or the other two, but he was going to find out. He walked in front of the bush and looked what was behind it, it was nothing.

"What in the- OOOF!", David felt something landed on his back, he stood up and looked to see who or what it was. It was Thomas that landed on his back.

"You should have checked your surroundings before going in that bush. We're everywhere.", Thomas said while dusting the leaves off his clothes.

"Great, now that you're here, I'm going to continue on finding Char- ARGGG!", yet again, before he even finish, David was tackled by Charles.

"Never talk when you are in a dangerous situation, your mouth could cost you your life.", Charles stood up and offered David a hand.

He accepted it and as always, he complained, "Where in the England did you come from? And why didn't you tell me he was coming, Dash?"

"Well, you did say that I should do anything you guys told me to, so he told me to don't say anything and I followed his words.", she simply replied.

Before he could spoke up, some growling can be heard around them. Emerge behind the trees, multiple timberwolves surrounded them. They looked like they are going to finish what has been left unfinished: tearing David apart.

"Well then, looks like we got some company. Anyone got any ideas to help us not to get our face chewed off?", David asked while slowly move backwards.

"We can split up and give them a good walloping, is that a good idea?", Thomas contributed the idea.

"Yeah, let us do that. I'm going to cover the right, you cover the left and Charles, you make sure Dash doesn't get hurt.", David told Charles and he answered with a simple nod, but Rainbow didn't seem to like that idea.

"Oh c'mon! I can fight on my own, I'm not weak, you know that, right?"

"I know you're not weak, Dash. But it's for your own safety and there's no time to talk now.", David tries to reason her while being very cautious about the wolves.

With no further waiting, one of the wolves began to run at them, the other saw it and follows. David and Thomas began to fight off the wolves, punching it, throwing it at the others and kicking it, they did everything to protect themselves. Dash couldn't handle the sight of David being hurt, so she flew off of the others view.

'Oh wait a minute, I forgot that she could do that.', David thought to himself and thinking that she was safe, but he was wrong. Suddenly, a loud boom was heard from above him, a line of rainbow began to come from the sky, aiming for the group of timberwolves. When it landed on the ground, it exploded on contact, blowing every wolf away from David and the other two. After the smoke screen cleared, there was a big crater in front of them, in there was Rainbow, lying in there unconscious.

"Not again, this can't be happening!", David said and jumped into the crater. Thomas and Charles quickly follows him down. David followed his instinct and checked her pulse, hoping that she's still alive. He cannot let another person suffer from helping him.

After a few minutes, he confirmed that she was alive, "Oh thank the Queen for letting her live. Let's go guys, we need to get her help, fast!"

Location
Golden Oaks Library

"Twilight, I need your help now!", David slam the door closed while carrying Rainbow.

Twilight came running in and saw him carrying Rainbow, she nervously asked, "What's wrong David? What happened to Rainbow?"

"She did what-I-assumed to be a Sonic Rainboom, it helped us get cleared away from the Timberwolves. We found her in a crater unconscious."

"That's bad, that's really really bad! Lay her down on the couch, I'll see what my healing spells can do."

David followed her command and set her on the couch. Twilight's horn began to glow brighter, a small beam fired off her horn to Rainbow. Her eyes began to open slowly, the first thing she saw was David, she spoke up,

"Hey David. Am I in heaven yet?"

David chuckles and look at Twilight, trying to use his eyes to tell her they need some private times. She understand the situation so she left them both in the living room.

"You're not dead yet, Dash. You did a Sonic Rainboom and went unconscious, so I carried you here.", he explained to her.

"Did I look cool while doing it? Did I?"

"You looked more than cool, you looked awesome. I thank you for saving me, Thomas and Charles. And for that, I'm going to give myself permission to do this.", he said as he lift her head up and gave her a small kiss on the lips. Rainbow was utterly shocked at first because it was her first ever kiss she had ever received.

"I better get going now, you stay here and rest and I'll be back. If you need anything, Twilight is in the other room.", he said and left the library, leaving Rainbow with a blush on her face, the only thing that came out of her mouth,

"Worth..."

David, Thomas and Charles continued to find another place to train after that deadly accident. 'This King has to be shut down or more people will be hurt.', David thought to himself and walked with the other to another training ground.

Chapter 12: At the Gala

Location
Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library

David woke up in the same bed like the other days. Five days after the attack of Sombra in his dreams, he hasn't been able to contact Cassiel since then. Every night he hoped that she would be able to recover from what she had done to get David protected. But he scratches the negative possibility and think of positive ones. He grabbed his clothes and went down stairs. To his surprise, Twilight was up earlier than him. David checked the clock and saw that it was only six o'clock in the morning.

"Twilight, it's six o'clock in the morning, what in the world are you doing here that early?", David said and let out a long yawn.

"I'm getting up early because I have to get ready for tonight's Grand Galloping Gala! I have to get the dress from Rarity and my make ups and all of the other things done by tonight!"

David immediately remembered about the time that Rainbow invited him to the Gala, that made him from tired to very excited to intend the big event.

"Tonight is going to be awesome, I can't wait for it!", Twilight said eagerly waiting for the Grand Galloping Gala that will happen tonight.

"Totally, Sparkles. Tonight is going to be absolutely minted. It's a shame that those guys can't come with me.", David said while looking at the other two standing outside the window.

Before both of them could say anything, a scroll appears out of nowhere in front of Twilight, she levitated it and began to survey it. She hovers it in front of David and said, "Words from the Princess."

He took the scroll and opened it, what was written inside actually shocked him, "Looks like I was wrong, Thomas and Charles just got the invitation to the Gala."

What he just said just shocked Twilight like the scroll did with David, "Wait, what? You can't be serious. Are you serious? No, you have to be kidding me!"

"I wish I was, Twilight, but this is a pure gold ticket just like yours.", he said as he took the ticket and showed it to Twilight. It was the same gold ticket Princess Celestia gave them last time they went to Canterlot.

"I guess she was listening to you.", she told David.

"Maybe. Anyways, I should tell the other two about this and maybe rent a suit for Thomas while Charles is stuck in that tuxedo.", he said and left the library.

"Morning, sir. What are we going to do today?", Charles was the first one greeted him.

"We are going to do nothing because you two just got your ticket to the Gala tonight!"

The two looked at each other and back at David before Charles spoke up, "...The what now?"

"Oh, I forgot that you two don't even know a bit of anything about the event. Let's just say that the Grand Galloping Gala is a big event and you two are intending."

"An event, eh? I guess this is when the tuxedo comes into the play.", Charles said while making him look nice in the suit he was wearing.

"You and your fancy suit, I still wondered why you would wear a tuxedo to a training, and I still wondered why your suit doesn't have any scratches on it when the wolves attack!", he questioned Charles

"Who knows, maybe this suit was made to be indestructible or maybe the materials are super durable.", Charles replied.

"Let's not talk about that too much. But for now, I'm going to get Thomas a suit for tonight.", David said and told them to follow him to the boutique.

Location
Rarity's Boutique

"Rarity, are you home?", David asked to see if there was anybody home since there is a big 'CLOSE' sign in front of the door.

"I'm sorry, but we're close today. Come back again later!", Rarity said from the inside.

"Rarity, it's me, David. I need to rent a suit for tonight's party!", David knew this is the only way to get Thomas a suit.

David heard a few hoof-steps before seeing the door opened by Rarity.

"Oh my, I didn't knew you were bringing your friends here. You are renting a suit for you friends, am I correct?"

"Actually, Thomas is the only one that needed it the most. Me and Charles already had one if you can tell.", David told Rarity.

Rarity looked at Thomas like she did with David the last time he went to her shop. Thomas noticed that she was trying to charm her with her eyes.

"Is there something on my face that is making me look funny? Or you are just looking at me weird?", he knew why she was looking at him strangely but he asked her just for a good measure.

"Am I not allowed to look at somepony or should I say "somebody" who is absolutely gorgeous looking?", she said and still looking at him with her charming eyes.

David chuckles because that was the same thing she did to him, he broke up the two, "Okay, Rarity. We're only here asking you for a suit, not flirting with Thomas, so can we get one now?"

"Of course, dear! It will be like the last time. I take your measurements and your suit will be ready in no time. Are you ready to go, Thomas? Okay, follow me!", Rarity didn't even let Thomas answer. She used her magic and dragged his hand across the room. He looked at the other two and opened his mouth. David saw that he tried to scream 'Help!' but he ignores that and laugh.

After a few moments, Thomas walked out of the room with a grumpy face. He was mad about the fact that David didn't told her to ask him to go with her instead of dragging him all over the floor.

"What's the matter, Thomas? Not your type of lady to talk to?", he said while holding his laugh.

"I'm not mad about that. I'm mad about you not telling her not to drag me. And being dragged is something you don't want.", Thomas responded and continue to walk out of the store.

"Relax, Thomas! She's just doing that because she thinks you're handsome and that's great. You should talk to her tonight. I heard that the last time she attended the Gala, some knobhead just happens to be there and broke her heart into bits. I want someone to cheer my friends up and you are the one who is going to do that.", he said while remembering what Rarity had told him about 'Prince' Blueblood, he asked himself time to time to even figure if he's a prince or not.

"But why me? Remember about the fact that I'm just a dummy and not a real human and have no experiences of talking to others especially ladies? What do you think will work out for me?", Thomas replied while trying to refuse to have a conversation with Rarity.

"Who knows! Maybe if you try to talk to her tonight, you might be able to make her happy."

Thomas didn't say anything but sighed and nodding his head, that means that he has agreed on trying to talk with Rarity and making her happy. But that doesn't mean Charles is not going to do the same.

"Charles, you are in on this too."

"What? Are you serious?! I maybe wearing a suit like a gentleman but that doesn't mean I'm romantic!"

"You don't have to be romantic to talk to a lady. And you can't just stand around with nothing to do. Just talk to someone instead of standing and looking like nobody.", David was trying to determined to get these two a lady and he succeeded. Charles went for it anyways since standing still and doing nothing wasn't his option.

"Great! Now then let's go somewhe-", before he could continue, David felt something covering his eyes.

David panicked and started screaming, "What is it?! What is it?! Get it off me! Is it a spider?!". He began to gain back vision and looked behind him, it was no other than Rainbow Dash.

"Calm down, David! I didn't knew you were scared of spiders that much!", she said and began to laugh at her attempt to scare him.

"Maybe I should check my back more often. I can't take these pranks anymore.", David said while hyperventilating. Having arachnophobia wasn't really a nice thing to have considering spiders are terrifying.

"I can't help but to do that whenever I see you, David. Anyways, are you pumped up about tonight?", she asked him.

"Is that even a question? Of course I am pumped up about the party tonight! I honestly can't thank you enough for inviting me."

"Hey, that what friends do right? You scratched my back and I'll scratch yours.", she said and gave David a light punch on the arm.

"I think we should go and prepare for the big night and we'll meet again at the train station. Sounds good?", he told Rainbow. She responded with a salute and flew off.

Thomas and Charles looked at each other before one spoke up, "Is she the reason why you are giving me the part of making Rarity happy instead of you doing it yourself?"

David looked at them and responded, "Maybe."

The two just didn't ask any further questions since they have already gotten the answer they needed.

Several hours later.

"Come on, David! We're gonna be late for the train! Pick up your pace!", Twilight shouted at David who is clearly getting ready for the Grand Galloping Gala.

"Hold the phone, Sparkles. I need to do a finishing touch before going.", David replied.

After a few moments, David walked down stairs with the same suit he wore when he took Rainbow out for dinner. He spotted Twilight at the door wearing a sparkling purple dress.

"You look just like a Princess, Twilight...", he realized what he had said, "...oh wait, you are a Princess."

Twilight giggle and responded, "Thanks, David. But you have to keep your compliments for somepony else if you know what I'm saying.", she winked at him, implying that he should say that to Rainbow.

"Oh sod off. I'm not going to compliment Dash only, I'll say the others are absolutely beautiful when I see them.", he said while hiding his light blush.

"Whatever you say, Mr. Romantic.", they both walked out of the library and meet with Thomas and Charles. Charles was still wearing his tuxedo, but Thomas, he was different than ever after putting on the suit that David had bought for him.

"Looking fresh like a gent, Thomas. Ready to head off to the station?", David said and all of them nodded. They proceed to the train station without anybody saying anything while going.

Location
Ponyville's Train Station

All of them reached the station within minutes, they saw the others were there as well. Rarity was the one that spotted them first.

"Oh my goodness! You four look absolutely wonderful! I wonder who was the one that made you those clothes."

"Nice one, Rarity. I thank you for sewing us these amazing suits and dresses. I don't know how you did it but you did an astonishing job preparing these clothings. Also, all of you look magnificently gorgeous.", David complimented Rarity and the other, giving all of them a small blush, especially Rainbow, who's blush seems so be a lot clearer.

"Enough with the chit-chatting, it's time for us to party!", said the pink pony. All of them laughed before going into the train heading off to Canterlot.

Location
The Grand Galloping Gala

The trip to Canterlot was a lot faster than the last time. At the entrance of the Gala, David saw what seems to be more than hundreds of ponies attended to this party. Every step he took, he had a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Are you okay, David? You seem a little bit off. Is there something wrong?", Fluttershy was the one who noticed this.

"I'm fine, Fluttershy. Just a little bit nausea, nothing too serious.", David responded.

"The party's not even started yet and yer feelin' tired already? I think ya should sit down for 'while before you collapse somewhere in this huge place.", Applejack said.

"I'm gonna go and get a chair and stay next to him incase he suddenly black out or something.", Rainbow volunteer and flew off. Thomas and Charles were also concerning about David having this weird sickness.

"Are you sure you alright, David?", Charles was the next one who asked the same question everyone was asking.

"I said I'm fine. You guys should stop worrying about me and do the thing I told you both to do.", David whispered to them and they nodded in respond and left David alone.

Rainbow returned to David and told him, "Hey, I found a comfortable couch, let me carry you there and we'll have a chat to make yourself better. Okay?". David sighed and followed Rainbow to the couch. They finally reached the couch and both began to sit down. Rainbow started the conversation.

"I know you're not actually sick, David. So tell me what's the problem?"

"How could you tell I'm not sick or anything?"

"I knew you too well to know if you're sick or not, David. Tell me the reason, now."

David can't help but to tell her the truth, "I miss my family, Dash. I can't help but to think of my wife. This party reminded me about the time I met her in a party at someone's house. I was partying with my friends until she came up into my view. My mind was completely clear and I was thinking about nothing but her. She came into my life that day, and now, I lost her. That's the reason why I feel down when I first step into this place."

Rainbow felt bad for him after hearing that, losing a love one is not an easy thing to forget. She tried to make his pain go away by hugging him tightly. David gestured himself and return the hug. The two broke the hug after five seconds, David shed a few tears but whipped them all off.

"Come on, Dash. We're here to have fun, not to cry a river. Let's go back to the others and enjoy the rest of the night, shall we?" , David stood up and offered her a hand and lift her up, walking her back to the others. They went back to the party and the first thing David saw was Thomas talking to the white unicorn like David told him to. Surprisingly, he managed to squeeze out a few giggles out of her. He looked to his left and saw Charles was doing the same thing with the rest of the mares.

"Seems like everything is going as planned", David mumbles to himself.

Rainbow heard him and asked, "What was that?"

"Nothing. What shall we do tonig- OOF!", before he could complete his sentence, he walked right into somepony, "Oh I'm sorry mis- Cadastra?!"

"Oh hey, David! I didn't knew you were attending to this event, who invited you?", Cadastra asked.

"Well as you can see, this is the one that invited me here.", he stepped aside revealing Rainbow to Cadastra.

"It seems like you got invited by one of the Elements. Guess what, I got invited by Pinkie!"

He didn't believe her at first, "What? How did you... no way."

Cadastra chuckles and said, "You better believe me David. I have been a good friend of Pinkie for a while now and that might be the reason why she invited me."

Before David could respond to that, two pegasus came hovering above them, it happened to be the two brother that accidentally greeted him with force, "David! My gosh are we glad to see you!", Cirrus said.

"You guys too?! Who invited you here?", David asked.

"Nobody actually invite us, David. We broke in here. Some of the guards were pretty sloppy at their jobs so we took the advantage and sneaked right in.", Knight responded but then spoke up again, "Holy mother of Celestia is that a fountain of chocolate?!", he spotted the fountain filled with liquid chocolate dripping down and Knight just instantly flew over it.

Cirrus laugh before telling them, "I need to go and stop him before he gets diabetes. I'll see you guys around!"

"I'm gonna go and talk to Pinkie about something. I'll talk to you later, David.", she said and walked away from the two, leaving them alone again.

David returned to Rainbow and said, "I can't even believe that they got their way into this! Can you believe it Dash?"

"I can't believe it either! They are so lucky to be here right now. Anyway, as we were talking, what did you say to yourself back there?"

"Uhh...oh look! There's Celestia!", he successfully dodged the question and pointed at Celestia who was standing on a platform, looking like she was readying for a speech. And she definitely was readying for a speech.

"Good evening, everypony. Welcome to this year's Grand Galloping Gala!", she said and all of the attenders cheered, "Okay, settle down, everypony. Now all of you know why you are here. You're here to enjoy the finest and the biggest event ever held in Equestria and you ponies are the lucky ones who has been invited to this party. Many others weren't as fortunate as you all. What I'm saying is I hope you all enjoy every second of this party. And here is a song that will make everypony wants to dance, grab your partner because I would like to welcome none other than The Melody.", she ended her speech and four ponies walked onto the nearby stage. David immediately thought that orchestra looked very similar to the ones in movies in a ball event.

'This is going to be interesting.', he thought to himself and turned back to Rainbow, "Hey Dash, you want to have a dance with me?", he said as he gave out his hand.

"But, I can't dance. Especially the one where you just move around in circles.", Rainbow responded.

"You thought I know how to dance? You think wrong, I don't even have any knowledge of dancing, so we'll improvise when we get there. Trust me, Dash. I promise, you won't regret this.", he was trying to convince her to dance with him. She didn't said anything but instead, she smiled and took his hand and pulled him into the dance floor.

"C'mon big guy! Let's see if you got those fancy feet moving!", Rainbow said mockingly

"Alright, stand on your hind legs.", David said and Rainbow followed, "You hold my and and I hold your ha- I mean hoof, and then we swing around the floor with the music going through our ears.", Rainbow and David danced through floor, their movements were swift and light as a feather. They were the center of everypony's attention, their moves made everypony around them drop their jaws in amazement. The music finally died down after a long ten minute, both of them ended up stopping with David's chest meeting Dash's.

"Well, that was the quickest learning session ever. You are a fast learner, Dash, I have to admit that.", David said while looking at her sparkling cerise eyes.

"Yeah, I get that a lot.", she said while still keeping eye contact to him, "David, I need to tell you something secret. Something that I have never told anyone about this."

"Hmm?"

"I-", before could start, all of the light source sent out instantly. Suddenly, it started to rain. Thunders were starting to hit the surface. Everypony was screaming and shouting at things in a chaos.

Celestial tried to calm them down but it was no use. Suddenly, deep voice could be heard outside the rain, it was loud enough to pierce through the sound of the rain.

"Good evening David.", David recognized the voice, it was Sombra's voice, "it seems like you are early to your own funeral."

'Oh bollocks, he's here already?', David thought to himself and shouted, "Where are you?! Show yourself and leave these innocent ponies alone!"

The light from the chandeliers began to light up normally, David looked and saw Sombra with his pony form, the shadow clouds beneath his feet were fading as he touches the ground of the Castle.

"Oh how comfortable it is to stand on the floor of the castle. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. After I'm done finishing you up, the rest of your friends will join you later, starting with your little mare-friend.", Sombra told David and began to look at Rainbow.

"Sombra?! How in the hay did you got here? We defeated you!", Twilight shouted.

"You thought I was dead? Think again, foolish pony. I have been living amongst other planets and now I have finally return to my home."

"Come on girls! If we defeated him once, we can do it again. We just need to hit harder than before.", the mares stand side to side, except Rainbow, who was still standing on David's side.

"Oh how you fools make me laugh! You can't kill me, I'm immortal! And all of you will be dead under my hooves if you dare to stop me.", Sombre said.

"Oh no, you're not going to harm anyone again. Not if I'm still standing, you will have to walk over my cold human body to get to them.", David said while slowly pushing Rainbow back to the others.

"And ours.", Thomas and Charles joined in.

"Looks like you have your friends with you. Guess what, I do to.", Sombra responded. The shadow from his horn began to spread out in the floor. Suddenly, dark and shadow ponies emerge from the ground up like dead people coming to live.

David was shocked after seeing his ability to summon his minions. He quickly told Rainbow, "Dash, I need you and your friends to evacuate everyone out of the castle. We'll stay here and stop him. Whatever you do, do not come back here."

"No! I will not leave you here!", Rainbow said while tightly squeezing his hands while starting to shed a few tears.

"Don't worry, Rainbow. We can take this bloke down easily. All I need you to do what I said and I need you to trust me.", he kneel down and whip the tears off her eye, "I'll be back before you even know it. Now go, there is no time for us to argue."

Rainbow nodded and told the rest if the mares to evacuate the entire party. David stood up and ready to face the one that once ended his life.

"What now, sir?", Charles asked.

"The only thing we do is either right or chew gum. And I'm out of gum. That means CHARGE!", David shouted and ran full speed at Sombra, Thomas and Charles followed soon afterwards. The party began to evacuate quickly, David knew this is his only chance to save this kingdom and his wife. Sombra's minions were fierce, quick and powerful. Most of them got to David within seconds despite being far away. He, Thomas and Charles were doing everything to stop them from reaching outside the outside of the castle where he told Rainbow to evacuate.

After a long moment of endless fighting, Sombra's minions were slowly dying down to the point that there were nothing else standing beside him.

"Is that all you've got you pathetic king? Why don't you come down here and fight us? Or you don't want to get your hands dirty?", David took the risk and taunted Sombra.

"You want me to fight you? Suit yourself then.", his pony body was transforming into a shape of a human, "This is comfortable. Now then, let's fight, shall we?"

With no hesitation, Thomas and Charles charge up first. They punch, kick but nothing was damaging him, every punch they gave, Sombra just blocked it completely. Sombra whacked both of them to a nearby wall.

"Okay, that bloody hurts.", Charles said before slowly standing up, Thomas did the same, trying all of their best to stand not fall down again. David smiled at the two's nerves of steel, willing to fight by his side until they fall.

"You can make us fall, Sombra. But you will never beat us.", David said and lunged at Sombra, giving him a full blow in the face and knocked him out into the rain. The three walked out there where Sombra was standing.

"Good job, David. You managed to damage me. But you doings were so little it barely make a scratch."

"Oh really? I guess you haven't taste the power of a British yet. Now this is your last chance to surrender, you leave this planet alone or we'll end it here with force.", David said.

"Surrender? Me? Not by any chances. You can take your words and shove it down your throat."

'Have it your way.', he thought to himself. Before David could react, Sombra was right in front of him, he lift David up and threw him into the wall. David quickly recovered and started to unleash multiple punches to Sombra. Thomas and Charles join him by taking turns to damage him. David shoved Sombra to Thomas, who gave him a blow so hard it knocked him upwards into the air, before he could landed, Charles jumped on his body and used it as a pillow to catch his fall. Sombra landed hard onto the concrete floor with no movements. David let out a sighed, knowing that Sombra has been defeated. But he was wrong.

"You... just make a big mistake!", Sombre shouted and immediately knocked them all into a column. They broke through the column and landed inside another wall. David was the first one to get up but he didn't saw the other two. He looked to his side and saw that they were unconscious, he tried to locate Sombra to know that he was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, he appeared out of nowhere in front of David, delivering a strike hardly to his gut. David grunted in pain, he cannot fall now, many lives were counting on him.

"You are just a human, David. I'm a god! You can't kill someone who is immortal, didn't they taught you about not disrespecting a king? You are gonna die and I will rule the entire Equestria!", Sombre said while lifting David up, throwing him out of the rain once more. David was getting weaker and weaker, he didn't have the strength and power to stand up and fight him. Sombra was getting closer to him. Suddenly, Rainbow was at the door of the room, she came back for him. She saw that David was getting beaten to death, she couldnt do anything to Sombra, David noticed a tear ran down her cheek. Her appearance gave David the motivation to fight, he remembered the thing Charles has said to him, 'Think about your family, think about your wife.'

Sombra raised up his fist and whispered, "Your life ends here. Time to die!". He used all of the force and aim straight for the chest, instead of feeling his fist penetrating David's body, Sombra looked and saw that his punch was blocked by David.

"Not today I won't.", David stood up and shoving Sombra back, "This is for killing me.", David punched him right in the face, "This is for hurting my friends.", he hit him again in the stomach, "And this is what you get for touching my wife!", David raised his right foot and kicked Sombra right in his private part.

"No... this is... not happening.", Sombre tried to talk while still holding the pain he just received.

"It is happening, Sombra. You shouldn't have done this, now you are here, defeated once more. I have one more word before ending you: Checkmate.", David said as he deal the finishing blow to Sombra, making him turned into dust and dissolve into the clear night sky.

"I need to sit down.", he said to himself and immediately fall down the floor. Rainbow quickly flew to him, holding him up and tried to make him stay awake.

"Nononono, you're not sleeping, David. Please stay awake!", her eyes were forming tears, they slowly roll down her face.

"Don't worry, Dash... I'm still alive... I guess. Can you tell me the secret like you were going to before that guy just happen to show up?", David said while giving her a heartwarming smile.

She smile back at him and responded, "The secret that I was going to tell you was: I love you, David. I love you since the day we talk and I feel like you were the perfect guy for me to hang out. You are funny, interesting, I mean, you are too perfect to be real. I can't tell you how much I love you, David."

David couldn't stop smiling at her, he spoke up, "I thank you for telling me what you feel about me. Now if you excuse me, I need to take a nap."

David slowly exhale and closing his eyes, Rainbow were concerning if he was dying or not, "No! Don't die on me, David. Don't leave me.", her tears began to fall like a waterfall. Suddenly, she heard multiple hoof-step coming at her, she turned around and saw Cadastra, Knight and Cirrus.

"Guys?! What are you doing here?", Rainbow asked while letting out a few sniffles.

"We followed you, Dash. We couldn't just leave David here. What happened to him?", Cirrus asked.

"I don't knos, guys. I think he's... gone.", Rainbow said.

"Hold on, we can't know that for sure. We need someone who can confirm it.", Knight said.

"I can do it,l. I used to take medical training for emergency purposes. Allow me.", Cadastra volunteered, she checked this pulse. A few minutes flew by and the answer has been confirmed, "He's alive. We need to find help quick!"

"We think we can help carrying out of this place.", Thomas and Charles finally recover from the hit. They move towards David and carry him out of the castle.

David did it. He finally avenge his his death and his wife. Now the trouble was out of the way. There is a surprise waiting for him.

Epilogue

Location
David's Dream Realm.

"Now I know what it feels like to have a piano dropped on my head.", he stood up, looked around and saw that he was once again, in his Dream Realm, 'Either I'm dead, unconscious or sleeping to be here. Maybe I'm dead.'

"Cassiel?! Where are you?! You're the only one that could get me here, you have to be here somewhere!", he shouted to try and find Cassiel to see if she was okay from the last attack.

"David?! Is that you?!", the voice came from behind David, 'Wait... Sheryn?!', he thought and looked behind him, it was indeed Sheryn standing there, with tears formed in her eyes, David did the same and ran towards her. He reached her and embrace Sheryn like she was the only one woman in the world.

"Sheryn! Oh thank you Queen Elizabeth for letting her live! Are you alright? Are you hurt or anything? Is there something wrong with the kids or our parents?! How did you get here?", David threw multiple questions at Sheryn.

"I'm okay David.", she said while still sniffing, "Our family is still living a normal life except for me. After two weeks after your death, I've been having nightmares, the last time I saw you was the time I got captured by something. Can you explain to me what is going on and what?"

"Story telling may not be my cup of tea,", he said while whiping the tears off Sheryn's eye, "but I'll do anything for my wife."

After what seems like a long time, David ended the story by saying, "And that's what I have been doing after I died. I know that was hard to believe but if you don't believe me then it's okay."

Sheryn was just sitting on the ground, confused and surprised at the same time, "You saved a kingdom from the creature that captured me even though you knew nothing about them?"

"Well, I did save it. But I also saved it because of you. If I didn't do anything about it, who knew what could he possibly do to you. I saved you because you still have a long way ahead of you, I want you to live your life to the fullest and I don't want anything to stop you from doing that.", David told her.

Before Sheryn could respond, they both heard a giggle. They turned to their side and saw Cassiel hovering there, smiling happily at them. David was surprised and happy inside because Cassiel was still alive, "Cassiel! You're alive! What happened to you?"

"I have been resting and gaining my energy back. I can't just get you here and tell you what I have been doing every night you fall asleep, David. I also knew that you have defeated Sombra. You have done it, you have saved countless lives. They would have been dead and Equestria would have been ruled by him. Everyone will remember your name, David.", she said.

"I didn't defeat him alone, the other guys helped too. I would have been a mash of flesh if it wasn't for them. Also, what will happen to them after this?", David asked.

"It is your choice weather you keep them or you can return them to me."

David didn't even thought for a second, "Oh you bet I will have them beside me everywhere I go. They helped me too much to be back as a dummy."

"Speaking of them, Thomas and Charles and your friends appeared to be quite eager to see you awake. It is time for you to wake up now, David. Say your goodbyes to your wife."

"Wait, this is the last time I will see my wife again?!", he said while looking quite shocking.

"I'm afraid that's true. There's nothing I could do for you, David.", Cassiel responded.

David sighed and turned back to his wife, "I'm sorry, Sheryn. I can't get back to you anymore. This will be the last time we saw each other. I promise you, if there is a way to get me back to you, I will take my chances and use it even if the chances of it are slim or might kill me."

Sheryn collapsed onto the floor, crying harder than the last time. She thought that he could get back to her, but she was wrong, "No! Don't leave me, David!"

"You will have to let go of me no matter what. But promise me something, take care of our kids and parents.", he turned back to Cassiel and told her, "Okay Cass, wake me up, please.". In a blink of an eye. He disappeared once again.

Location
Unknown

David eyes began to open, the light from the nearby window shone directly into his eyes. His ears began to pick up a sound, he looked over to his side and saw a heartbeat monitor. David looked down to his body and saw that his right leg and left arm was casted, he assume that this was the hospital.

"How in the world did I get here?", he said to himself. Suddenly, the door swung open. A pony appeared with a nurse cap and a red cross on her flank, he guessed this was a nurse.

"Oh good! You're awake now. Are you feeling better?", the pony said.

David tried to move but it just hurt him even more. He stopped and took a long breath before responding, ""Better" isn't the word I use to describe the situation I'm in right now. But I am feeling quite fine, thank you for asking. Also, can I ask what is your name and what hospital am I in right now?"

She chuckled and said, "My name is Nurse Redheart and you are in Canterlot's Hospital Room. You have been here for over two days now."

David wasn't surprised by the fact that he got knocked out for two days, "Okay. Oh, can I ask where are my friends?"

"They are outside waiting to speak to you. Would you like me to call them in?", she said and David answered by nodding at her. She walked outside and David could hear her talking to the others. A few moments later, they walked into the room. Instead of walking normally into the room, Rainbow just flew in and hugged him despite David being hurt.

"David! Oh I'm glad you're okay. Why would you do such a thing like that?!", Rainbow said while looking very worried.

"I had to, Dash. If I didn't stop him, who knows what he would do to my wife and who knows what could he possibly do to this kingdom if I didn't step up."

The others were confused at first, "Wait, he had your wife?! Why didn't you tell us this? You knew that he was coming all along?", Twilight said.

David just let out a long sigh before responding, "I didn't tell you about him because I don't want any of you to be worried or involved into this. I didn't want any of you to get hurt and I knew the only way to do that is by keeping my mouth shut. I'm sorry for keeping this locked."

"It's okay David.", Twilight said and gently put her hoof on his shoulder, smiling at him, "You did what you do best to protect us and we thank you for doing that."

David smiled back and responded, "No problem, guys. What matter is that all of you are okay.", he took a glance at Rainbow and turned back to the others, "Can you guys wait for me outside and let me have a word with Rainbow for a few minutes?"

The others looked at eath other, shrugged and moved out of the room, leaving David and Rainbow alone in the room. They looked at each other for a while before David finally spoke up, "Why did you come back for me the other night? You could have been hurt."

"If I didn't come back for you, you would still be on the ground if no one was looking for you. Also, that could have been my last time seeing you and my secret could have been hidden forever."

"That was the stupidest decision you have ever made... but that was also the bravest one too because you entered a room with a monster that had the power to demolish the whole entire kingdom. You are the bravest pony I have ever seen in my entire life.", David complimented her, making her unleashing a huge blush on her face.

"Thank you. can I... ask you an honest question?", she asked timidly. David was confused of her sudden attitude switch, but he didn't care about it and nodded in approval. Rainbow took a deep breath and said, "Do you love me the same as I do?"

David just looked at her, chuckled and said, "Of course I do, Dash. I love you but not as much as my wife. All of my love goes to her and no one can take her place."

"You loved your wife more than anything else in the world, that is sweet, David. I always think that was the reason why she married you.", she said while giving David a smile. This smile wasn't the one that he was always expected from her.

"I don't like the fake smile Rainbow Dash, I want the Rainbow that has always been cocky, competitive and what ever personality Twilight told me. Don't be like that, I still love you. So come here and give me a hug, just be a little bit gentle this time.", David said while trying to use all of his strength, beating the pain and spreading his arms as wide as he could to offer her a hug. Tears were forming in her eyes, those were the tears of happiness instead of sadness. Nopony in her life has offered her this kind of love before, she was hoping this day would come and it finally did. She walked towards David slowly and hugged him gently. The hug seemed like it was going on for a long time, they broke up and hug and this somehow sparked something in Rainbow's mind.

"Oh! I forgot to show you this. I found this thing laying next to you when we carry you away. It looks like some kind of rock or something like that. Why don't you take a look and figure what this is?", Rainbow said and took a piece of metal and showed it to David.

"This looks like something from a sci-fi movie. Or maybe this is a some kind of key to something. I'll ask Twilight and check some books for the answer. But for now, call someone and get me out of this bed, I need to feel my feet again.", he said and put the piece down, 'Weird looking thing.'

Full name: David Cambridge
Age: 29

"Now then, where is it?" David said as he quickly searches around his box. David noticed something at the corner of the box, it was a My Little Pony doll from his sister when she was little, he kept it as a memory after a car accident that took his little sister's life. He immediately scratches that thought out of his mind and think to himself, 'This is the most 'cliché' thing I could have ever thought of'.

His mind was interrupted by the voice of his wife again, he then chuckles and walk downstairs with a doll in his hand. He walked into the kitchen to be greeted by his lovely wife and 2 of his kids, Miranda and David Jr.

Characters Info: David Jr and Miranda

"Now why don't you stop goofing around in the kitchen and give your dad the biggest bear hug you've ever given!" He said and then quickly being tackled by his kids.

One of them spoke up,"Dad, what are you gonna get for us tomorrow?".

The other follows up as well,"Yeah! What are you gonna buy us for Christmas, daddy?".

David changes to his best Santa Clause impression, "Ho ho ho, I can't tell you what's the present, but I can guarantee the presents will be the most awesome thing you've ever seen!" as he slowly puts the doll away from Miranda's view, but it was too late.

"Dad, what's that behind your hand?", she said as her head was tilted to try and figure out what was in David's hand.

David quickly changes the subject, "Oh I forgot, I was suppose to be helping your mother with the decoration of the tree, you two want to join me?".

The two kids looked at each other for a split second and turn back to David and gave him multiple nods. David smiles and took his kids to the living room where the tree was placed. He then took the box filled with decoration and sets them on the floor for his kids to choose which one is a perfect fit for the tree.

"I want this one, and this one, this one also!" David chuckles and thought to himself , 'Just like a typical kid in a candy store'.

David stood up and clapped his hands together, "Alright, are you two done picking everything you like?". The three shared a laugh and the two gave him a nod, "Then let the decorations, begins!".

2 hours later....
"Phew! That was the longest thing I've ever done in this house!", David Jr said as he swept the last sweat on his forehead.

"Are you two tired?", David said and the kids answered with a simple nod, "Why don't we go to the kitchen and see what's mom cooking tonight, sounds good?"

"To the kitchen!" the three said in a unison.

"Woman! Where's my sandwich?", David said in a voice from one of the show he has been watching.

"Dave, you know you can't make me do anything with that voice, right?", David leans in and gave Sheryn a kiss

"Of course I can't tell you to do anything with that voice, I just like that line for some reasons.", Sheryn responded with a peck on the cheek and said, "That's why I married you for a reason, hun."

"So, are you gonna make me a sandwich now?", David said as he laughs, the only thing Sheryn did was punching him in the right shoulder.

"Sorry, sorry! I can't help it!", David tries to catch his breath, but the only thing he could do was laugh harder, Sheryn, David Jr. and Miranda joins the laugh afterwards.

After dinner, the family talked to each other about what they should do for Christmas tomorrow, all of them contributed ideas but the only one who hasn't spoke a single word was David. "So David, what do you want to do tomorrow?" Sheryn asked just to see her husband was deep into thoughts.

She shook him gently and the only thing came out of his mouth was, "What?". The three looked at David with a questioning look, Sheryn spoke up from the awkward silence, "Are you okay David? You were thinking of something."

David quickly answered, "It was nothing, I was just thinking of something....horrible.", he said it in a tone that the others don't wanna hear.

Sheryn grabbed his hand, "Don't worry Dave, those are just thoughts that could never happen in reality.", Sheryn said in a calm voice, "If you want to talk about it, you know who to talk to.", David gave Sheryn a nod before grabbing all of the dishes and put them into the sink.

David said to the kids, "Now then, you two get dress up and go to bed, you don't want Santa Clause to give you coal this year, don't you?". The two rapidly shakes their head in disapproval way. The three shared a good laugh before David Jr. and Miranda ran up stairs.

Sheryn said as she was washing the dishes, "Honey, why don't you go to bed, I'll meet you up there, gotta finish cleaning these dishes.". David gave her a nod and said, "I'll see you up there, and when you're done, you're gonna have to read me a bed time story!". He said it in the childish way possible. Sheryn chuckles and gave David a passionate kiss before going up stairs.

David knew something wasn't right, he always do.

Chapter 2: Magical World

"Uhhhhh....", David moans after waking up in the middle of nowhere, but this place looks like it's nothing. It's a complete screen of whiteness.

"Where am I? Hello?", David tries to call for help but nothing responds. He still get those visions he was having awhile back, but he didn't knew how long he was passed out.

"Hello David.", a soft voice sounds like it was coming from behind David. He turned around just to see what looks like a tall white figure, almost didn't even noticed because she was blending in with the whole whiteness screen.

"Who are you? Where am I right now? And where's my family?!", David still doesn't remember what has happened just awhile ago.

The figure chuckles, " I'll tell you who I am the next time I meet you, but we need to show you what happen. Take a seat Dave and let's watch 'Television'". A seat and a Television just appeared out of nowhere, David doesn't have the time to say anything, so he took a seat. The television looks like it was going through the news channel, it pause for one specific channel.

"So Josh, anything interesting lately?", one of the broadcaster said.

"I heard that there is a crash in England that hasn't been figured out yet, nobody knows what are the causes of it."

"Can anyone identify the people in the car?"

"They have identified that the driver is 'David Cambridge' and the other three are his family. The driver died in the crash, the other survive and got out with only minor injuries."

"Why don't we head down to Jane for an interview of the victim?"

"Hello everybody, I'm Jane and now live at the crash site and next to one of the Survivor, Sheryn Cambridge. So tell me Sheryn, can you recall what happen?"

Sheryn was still in shocked after that tragedy hits her but then she spoke up, "I can't remember anything, one moment we were in the car, he was driving but he lost control of the wheel and crashed into a box truck and... I'm sorry I can't take this anymore." Sheryn wipes out the remaining tears on her face but it was too much for her to clean them off.

The TV shut down and disappeared, David still remain shocked after hearing what can't be unheard, 'The driver died in the crash'.

He spoke up, "I'm... dead?"

"You're dead but you're not dead."
David just sitting there, still trying to figure out what did she meant.

"You're one of the few people in the entire planet can have two lives in different universe."

"Let me get this straight," David took a deep breath before saying, "I died in my old planet and got resurrected here, talking you and knowing what happen after I died and now you're giving me another life on another planet that nobody knows it exist. Is that right?"

"You are right, human."

"I-I-Is there a way to get me back in the future?", David asked with a sad tone.

"I'm afraid there are no ways of getting back to your life, I'm sorry David. But do not worry, you will still have your old body. That's a 29 years advantage."

"I guess that makes everything better, so when am I gonna live another life?"

"You journey starts now, David"

"Wait wha-", before he could open his mouth, he was teleported into a deep dark forest.

Location: Equestria, Everfree Forest.

"Ow-ow-ow-OW!", multiple branches snapped and David crashed landed precisely into a bush filled with thorns.

"Remind myself to tell people not to teleport me in the middle of nowhere in the forest!", David said while taking every thorns out of his arms and sweeping all of the dirt off his clothes.

'Where am I?', David thought to himself while looking at his surroundings. David pause and mumbles to himself, "If this is a new life, I need to find civilization first."

He looked both left and right before choosing his way to go. Suddenly, a growling was heard in a nearby bush, David freezes and held his breath making sure he doesn't move a muscle. Emerge from the bush, a wolf burst out and attacks David right at his left arm. This wolf isn't the normal ones he had saw on movies or shows, this one was made totally out of wood!

David tries to shakes free but it was no use, the grip of the wolf's jaw was too powerful, he tries punching it several times in the head but still nothing works. Before he could lost his consciousness, a purple beam came out of nowhere, his eyes were begging to kept open. He blacked out before the one who saved him got in his view.

A few hours later.

David woke up in the same realm of nothingness next to that same figure he has talked to before.

David let out a long sigh before saying, "Am I dead again?"

The figure chuckles and respond, "No David, you're just in a deep sleep after that Timberwolf bit you."

"Timberwolf? Is that the thing I just encounter before?", David asked with a questioning look on his face.

"Yes David, that thing is called Timberwolf. It is one of the most powerful creatures in the Everfree Forest, might as well say that you can't go there."

"Can't go there? You teleported me into the middle of the forest! Are you trying to get me killed again?"

"I'm sincerely sorry for doing that, teleporting is hard for me to do. But don't worry, by the time you wake up, you'll be laying on a more comfortable place than falling from a tree."

"Alright, you said you were going to tell me your name the next time I meet you. Are you gonna tell me your name or what?"

"I'm glad you asked, my name is Cassiel."

"It's a plessure meeting you, Cassiel." He gesture his hand for a handshake but Cassiel just stands there doing nothing, "No? Okay then."

"I'm sorry David, I might look like I was made out of flesh but I'm actually untouchable. You've been unconscious for along time, it's time to wake up."

"Wait, wha-", before he could finished his sentence, he was teleported again but this time, he wasn't on a tree tumbling down into a pile of dirt. He was actually laying on a couch, looks like Cassiel wasn't lying at all!

'Now then, back to figuring out where I-', his thoughts are once again interrupted by a small purple horse-shape thing right in the kitchen, he assumed it was the kitchen because he saw the sink and every equipment needed to be a kitchen. Suddenly, the purple equine turns directly to David's couch, he freezes and eyes wide like a deer in a headlight.

The pony was the one who spoke up after a long stare from both of them, "Oh good! You woke up just in time for lunch!" followed up with a joyful glee.

David's eyes are still wide, his mouth was open up to respond but the only thing he could do was let out a horrible scream that could have probably startled the whole neighborhood.

"Where am I?! What are you?!! Please don't tear me apart and eat me up like a dinosaur!", David said while still freaking out by the fact that he hasn't seen a single talking pony in his entire life besides animated shows.

"Calm down, I'm not gonna tear you apart and eat you up. I'm actually help you right now by cooking some delicious soup!", the pony said and let out a few chuckles.

"I'm still scared by the fact that you didn't answer my question, where am I and what are you?", David was still petrified and shocked after hearing a pony talk.

"Oh! I'm sorry for my bad manners, my name is Twilight Sparkles and you're in the Golden Oaks Library."

"Not like what's your name and where is the current place I'm in, like what kind of evolved animal are you and how can you talk and what planet am I in right now."

"Hmm, it does seems like you are not belong here since I have never a creature like you, here before. But, your questions will be answered, you are now currently in Equestria, a land ruled by two rulers: Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, one raises the moon and one raises the sun."

"Woah woah woah, hold on a second. Raising the sun and the moon? It doesn't raise by themselves?"

"I'm glad you asked, I have no idea. I guess it was meant that way."

'Interesting little planet I'm living in' , David mumbles to himself while denying eye contact with Twilight.

"So now I've told everything about me, why don't you introduce yourself?", Twilight said while smiling,

'She doesn't seem scared about my appearance. Eh, let's just roll with it.'

"My name is David Cambridge, I live on a planet called Earth. On Earth, there are multiple countries and continents across it and I live in a place called London ruled by Queen Elizabeth. The kind of creature you are talking to is called 'Human', they are a very intelligent beings that has been living for thousands of years. We have everything from light bulbs, planes, cars and other stuffs that are very useful for us humans.", David slowly realized that he has said something smart for a long time now.

"That sounds really interesting! Can you tell me more about you and your home planet? Pretty please?", Twilight said while pouting her lips just to convince David.

"Sorry Ms Twilight Sparkles, but I'm very tired right now after that thing bit me. I can you everything by tomorrow, and I also need a tour of this place."

"It's okay. Oh and please, call me Twilight, I'm not that old to be called Ms anyways."

"Okay, are you gonna give me the soup you were offering before?", David said while trying to hold his laugh.

"Oh! I forgot! Thanks for reminding me, I'll be back with a bowl filled with soup!", Twilight ran into the kitchen with a blush on her face."

'Silly little nerdy pony.", he thought to himself while chuckling.

Tomorrow is a new day, a new part of his life starts now.
