Chapter 5: The decision, Meeting Twilight again, Becoming Celestia’s friend, Travelling.

The girls walked up to Jay and hugged him tightly. He blinked and started to ask why they were so supportive of him, when he realized that they either hadn’t heard his story or didn’t care. He was leaning more toward didn’t care wen Vinyl said “You went through so much, yet you still allow yourself to trust others. I can see why the Princess had no problem with you slipping into her study after you told her your tale.” Jay smiled and hugged her tighter then glanced at Tavi who was holding onto him and raised an eyebrow questioningly.

Tavi looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said “I didn’t know you were hurting so much when we first met. Now that I do it hurts me to know you didn’t think you could trust us with this sooner. However it does my heart good to know you did trust us with it. You realize it’s a little outlandish, right?” Jay nodded and smiled sadly at that as Vinyl sighed and face palmed. Tavi continued “I don’t know what I’d do without you Jay. So I don’t think I will, I want you to be mine and to be yours in turn. I can’t deny my feelings any longer. Will you be my colt friend?”

Jay blinked surprised and started to say he didn’t know if he was ready for that when Vinyl coughed into her hand and raised up her glasses. He stared into her crimson eyes and she said softly “I’d like to be your mare friend as well.” Jay let go of the girls and fell back on his rear in shock his mind whirring. A part of him wanted to say no, but a little louder part screamed at him to accept them. He didn’t know what to do. His old morals would have never let him date more than one girl, or mare in this case, and yet his newer more base animal instincts told him that this was acceptable.

He muttered softly “What the hay.” He looked up and said “I can’t say no to either one of you. So if you’re willing to share, and accept the fact there may be other mares in the future, I guess I’m forced to say yes.” The two looked at each other then held up a finger each and turned away to start discussing things quietly out of his earshot. He sighed and thought “I’m such a monster. How could I expect two mares who deserve to get all of a male’s heart not just a piece of it, to accept a small piece of my own when they know they’ll have to share it with other females, including their best friend.”

Eventually the two walked back with completely straight faces, Vinyl’s glasses pulled down over her eyes and Octavia’s hair covering her own as they said “Well….” Jay raised an eyebrow and motioned for them to go on. They glanced at each other seeming to come to a decision even more surely than before and said “We accept your terms on the term we get to meet any of these girls and interview them to find out how much they care about you and if they can accept being part of a herd.”

Jay slowly nodded with a stupefied look on his face then broke out into a grin and jumped into the air shouting “OF COURSE!” He quickly grabbed the girls and pulled them close then kissed them each on the tip of their muzzles before stopping and saying “I have some things to show you.” They nodded and he pulled off his shirt revealing the scars on his back and arms. Vinyl gasped while Octavia paled drastically. He glanced back and said “Easy Tavi. These are healed wounds; they just look different because my fur was dyed by the blood flowing down it. It started out white, then it turned blood red. They’re like the scars on my face, caused by a demon, but unlike the scars on my face, they were ripped open by Timber wolves. The wound reopening dyed it red with blood. I’ve taken showers and baths since, but none of them could erase the blood stains from my fur.”

Vinyl swallowed thickly and said “Wow, that’s rough. How long have you had those?”
Jay thought about it and said “Since my last trip into the Everfree they’ve been red. Before that they were white from my first appearance in the Everfree when Rainbow Dash saved my tail, literally.”

Octavia, Tavi to Jay and Vinyl, sighed and said “Can I touch them?” Jay nodded and she gently ran her fingers through the fur noticing that it wasn’t coarse as you’d expect something the color of blood to be, but rather very fluffy and light. Jay shivered at the touch finding out for the first time his back was now sensitive to gentle pressure as much as it used to be sensitive to hard touches when he was a kid. He shivered again as Vinyl also touched his back and Tavi asked “Does it hurt?” Jay shook his head.

Vinyl stroked the fur and said “It’s so soft. I have to work to get my coat this soft. What’s your secret?” Jay shrugged and winced as they pressed a little too hard causing his back to lock up. He groaned and the girls quickly worked the knots out of his back careful not to do more damage. He sighed in pleasure and muttered a quick thanks. Vinyl looked at Tavi and said “So now for the important question, who gets him first?”

Jay chuckled and said “Isn’t it a little early for one of you to be thinking that you should get a turn with me in a way that is more than just sleeping beside me?” Vinyl thought about it as Jay turned around then shook her head, while Tavi just face palmed muttering under her breath. He raised an eyebrow and asked “Something wrong Tavi?” She nodded into her hand. He raised an eyebrow and said “Please do explain.”

Tavi sighed and said “Vinyl’s always been, a bit presumptuous; I guess is the best word. She’s not afraid to say what is on her mind. That’s why I was expecting something like this but it amazes me just how embarrassing it is to think of either of us with you in certain ways. I admit normally I’m the type to take things slowly, but we were both willing to umm let’s just say jump your bones, as granny smith apple would say.” Jay chuckled at that bit of info then it really hit home and he swallowed wondering if they were going to do just that. Tavi put that fear to rest however by saying “However we won’t. For multiple reasons, one of which is we are ladies even if Vinyl pretends otherwise. Another is that we can see how uncomfortable you currently are with that thought.”

Vinyl nodded and Jay smiled saying “Thanks Girls. I honestly would be happy to take either one of you, but not until we know each other better, alright? I mean you know everything there is to know about my past, but you don’t know me.” They nodded and the three of them got ready for bed. Jay let the ladies go first then took his shower and lay in bed in just his boxers this time, because he really didn’t feel like wearing a shirt. He’d gotten to hot the night before from the girls’ body heat and the covers. The three of them curled up together and he said “I love you Vinyl. I love you Tavi. I’ll talk to you in the morning and we can decide what we’re doing for our last day in town.”

The girls nodded and said “Night Jay, I love you.” They curled up into his sides and nuzzled his neck breathing in his scent. Not noticing the slight undertone of blood that his scent always carried. Vinyl buried her face into Jay’s neck while Tavi buried herself between his side and arm. Jay sighed and watched them both then closed his eyes and fell back into the dream of the filly on the moon. They looked at each other over Jay’s stomach and Vinyl said “So you, Octavia, are willing to share your colt friend with multiple mares?” Octavia nodded and said “Yes Vinyl, I’m willing to share him because I know he’ll always come back to me. He said he was loyal and I can believe it.”

Jay snored and the girls looked at each other then said “Of course, this means that we’ll have to find out who his alpha is.” They both nodded at that and Vinyl continued “I figure it’ll be one of us, but if not we should at least become their advisors since we know more about him than most.” Octavia nodded and said “I think we should find out who all have interest in our stallion and get them together to find out why and when they began to like him. That way we can see who’s serious and who just thinks this would be fun without putting the effort he deserves into their relationship when we both know whoever he’s with will be given his all.”

Vinyl nodded yawning and said “Right you are Tavi. Anyway I’m going to sleep, night.” Octavia bid her a good night and the two of them fell asleep holding onto Jay. As the night passed their dreams were checked up on by Jay, who was taught how to dream walk by the filly on the moon. He watched as Vinyl played for a club full of people who’d doubted her when she was younger, while Tavi was playing a concert in front of the nobles of Canterlot. He left their dreams and walked the plains of dreams looking for anyone he knew. Eventually he shrugged and returned to the moon, and his own dreams, for the rest of the night.

Jay woke up at dawn. He laid there hugging the girls. They mumbled in their sleep and Jay smiled thinking “My mare friends, has a nice ring to it. Of course knowing me there’ll be more than just the two of them. I never have been able to say no to those that care about me when I know that I care about them as much as they care about me.” He yawned and blinked as the sun hit him in the eyes resisting the urge to scream out in pain. He pulled the girls closer and buried his face in Tavi’s hair muttering about the light.

Vinyl woke up about half an hour later yawning and saw Jay then Tavi and grinned. She nipped Jay’s neck causing him to shiver then glanced at Tavi who was snoring softly and occasionally mumbling as if she was talking to someone important. She rubbed Jay’s side and said “Morning handsome.” He smiled at her and she continued “So any plans for the day?”

He shrugged and said “Other than spending my day with you girls, not particularly. Why have something in particular you want to do?” Vinyl shrugged and he nuzzled the top of her head causing her to smile and bury her face into his neck again sticking her tongue out to lick it. He shivered and asked “How the hay do you know my spots?” She looked at him questioningly and he said “You know the erogenous zones, aka my spots.”

Vinyl grinned and nipped his neck saying “I didn’t know they were your “spots” as you call them, I just thought it would be fun to see how you react to them being touched. Well how you would react to me doing stuff to your neck anyway. You’re reactions are what gave away your spots.” Jay shivered at that and thought “Oh boy.” He realized he’d given her material to use against him, and he knew Vinyl was not one to let an opportunity go to waste.

He growled softly and whispered in her ear, as he bit down on it, “You tease me Vinyl and I’ll tease you back. Got it DJ Pon-3?” She nodded and he nipped her ear again then sucked on it rubbing her back and pulling her close. She shivered and mumbled no fair, then closed her eyes and let him do as he would to her wondering if he’d asked Tavi about how sensitive her ears were. When she saw his smirk, with the tip of her ear in his mouth she blushed up a storm.

He smirked and released her ear then bent down and started nibbling on Tavi’s jaw causing her to squirm in her sleep. Vinyl stared and said “I know for a fact I didn’t tell you how sensitive any of Tavi is.” He just smirked at her and she said “I know even when she’s drunk she doesn’t tell people how to get her riled up, so how did you learn about that spot?” Jay shrugged and continued lipping at Tavi’s neck and jaw causing her to open her eyes and try to wave him off thinking it was Vinyl. He chuckled and Vinyl said “Tavi it’s Jay doing that not me.”

Tavi woke up and said “Mr. Wolf I expect you to stop. Or else we will be forced to retaliate by finding out how ticklish you are.” Jay snorted and gave her a look that challenged her to do so. The two mares accepted the challenge and started to tickle the stallion. He snorted finding this amusing but not laughable because he wasn’t ticklish. He watched as the girls attempted everything they could think of before giving up and Octavia said “I will make you pay, trust me.”

Jay chuckled at her and stroked her hair saying “Of course Tavi. I’m not worried about you getting me back though, because I know I’ll deserve it when you do.” Octavia smiled unable to tell him to not call her Octavia with how sweet he was being. Jay smiled and said “Love you Tavi.” Vinyl looked affronted at him only saying he loved Tavi and he kissed her on the lips then said “Love you too Vinyl. Though I love you, if you ever wake me by washing the dishes with Wubs again I’m taking away your DJ equipment.”

Vinyl whined and said “That’s no fair Jay! You’re bigger and stronger than me! It’s so uncool if a DJ gets her equipment taken away by her colt friend because he doesn’t want to be woken up by it. How would I explain that I couldn’t get my equipment when Pinkie asked me to DJ or something?” Meanwhile Octavia was giggling and imagining the quiet of having Vinyl’s equipment hidden from her. Jay looked at her and Vinyl whined “Tavi tell him he can’t hide my stuff!!!!” Tavi burst out laughing at that and couldn’t help but shake her head.

Jay smiled and said “You realize you wake her up too?” Vinyl grumbled but agreed to keep it down when the other two were sleeping and Jay kissed her deeply in response. She murred into his mouth as they kissed and let out a soft whinny as he pulled away. He smiled and stroked her mane as well as Tavi’s and said “I don’t know what I’d do without you two.” They smirked thinking he’d probably be fine, and he was just being nice. What they didn’t realize was just how serious Jay was when he said things like that. He honestly didn’t know what he’d do without the two of them.

Vinyl sighed and said “So what’s the plan for this morning?” Octavia didn’t reply as she was too busy sucking face with Jay who was obviously enjoying himself. As they broke the kiss Jay motioned for the girls to go use the bathroom since he knew they’d want to freshen up. They smiled at him and Vinyl said “Thank you dude.” They walked into the bathroom and prepared for the day, brushing out their manes, in Octavia’s case doing her eyes, brushing out their tales, and brushing their teeth.

As soon as they were done Jay went and used the bathroom then the three of them got dressed and decided to head to Doughnut Joe’s since Jay was so enamored with the place. They walked in and Jay said “Hey Joe.” Joe waved at one of his new favorite customers, who while he tallied up their orders just by looking at them. Jay blinked when he saw the number of pastries piling up and thought “Oh boy, we’re going to have sore stomachs by the time breakfast is over. At least the girls won’t be puking it up all over the place being that they’ve stopped drinking as much since I moved in.”

Joe pulled up their order and said “Two dozen glazed, five cream filled, and one chocolate with sprinkles. That’ll be fifty bits guys.” Jay quickly payed and thanked Joe who snorted and said “Jay you’re quickly becoming one of the ponies I enjoy seeing every day. I hope you plan on visiting every time you’re in Canterlot. That said I’m glad you brought friends, though I bet they aren’t as into doughnuts as you. Ah well, always the Princess and Twilight to spoil.” Jay chuckled and nodded then bid the stallion farewell before sitting at a table with the girls.
They each took a doughnut and Jay smiled watching as the girls learned of the rapture that was Doughnut Joe’s. The girls ate in contented silence while Jay thought of what to do with them next since breakfast wasn’t really much of a chance to talk with them all eating. They finished the doughnuts in short order and got up then Jay said “So girls now what?” They discussed it amongst themselves before dragging him out of the bakery and down the street toward a music hall.

Jay followed along bemusedly and hummed softly to himself. He blinked as he realized he was humming a tune he read in a book and mumbled “We’ll away to dance with Jack of the Shadows.” He chuckled and stretched taking his arms from the girls then said “So another concert? Can we go to the library after this, and then maybe just wander around?” The girls nodded and they walked into the concert hall before paying for their tickets and sitting at the back as the concert began. The mares laid their heads on the stallion’s shoulders and listened to the music.

Jay chuckled slightly and stretched then popped his back and listened intently. This particular concert reminded him of Beethoven and Bach. He hummed along wrapping his arms around the girls who leaned more on him and ignoring the nobles around them with scandalized looks. Eventually the concert ended and the three of them went off to explore the city.

They walked along the streets talking amongst themselves and laughing at a joke one or the other made. Eventually they got to the library and Jay walked in then the girls went to the classic music section, where Vinyl was trying to combine music together to make better music, and Octavia was learning all she could about classic compositions while Jay headed to Equestrian law. However when he got in there he found himself face to face with Twilight Sparkle. She blinked and said “Hey Jay.” He grinned and waved then started for a stack of law books.
She walked alongside him and said “You know, you never did tell me what exactly you were looking for. Although the princess told me about your meeting, which brings up the question, why were you wandering around the castle?” Jay just smiled slightly and scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. She stared at him and asked “Something wrong?”

Jay shook his head and said “No. I just feel bad about not asking you if you knew how to get around the castle. I kind of was trying to avoid the guards and ended up in Celestia’s study. It wasn’t intentional, but it was interesting to meet her. She’s your mentor, right Twilight?” Twilight nodded and he said “Cool. She’s a really kind person so I can see why she’d want someone as kinds as you to be her student.” Twilight blushed and he continued as if he didn’t notice “Of course with someone as magically strong as you in the court it’s not a surprise everyone wants to learn so much more about her. Anyway I’m hanging out with some friends, would you like to join us?”

Twilight slowly nodded and said “If you don’t mind, since Spike is currently with the princess.” Jay smiled and motioned for her to follow him to the check out as he checked out about a dozen books on Equestrian law. The girls each checked out sheet music quite happy till they saw Twilight talking to their stallion. Jay saw the looks in their eyes and whistled to get their attention. They looked at him and he motioned toward his eyes then them. They sighed while Twilight looked slightly confused.

He sighed and said “They’re jealous.” Twilight blinked and pointed at herself. He nodded and said “Yes of you.” She stared at the other two mares who sighed and nodded. Jay coughed to get their attention and said “Ladies there is enough of me for the three of you to share. Plus you never know maybe Twilight knows things about composers you two never thought of. Also it would mean a lot to me if my friends got along, so please, for me?” The three mares agreed to get along then Jay yawned as he put the books in a bag which he slipped onto his back.
The bag was enchanted to weigh nothing, he’d had it custom made specifically for treasure hunting and what not. He figured it was worth the expense since he had yet to need another bag. He yawned and said “What do you three say to seeing a movie?” Vinyl nodded and Tavi just shrugged. Twilight squeed and ran with the other three following her at a slightly more sedate pace. They got to the theater and saw the reason for Twilight’s squee. It was the new daring do movie. Jay snorted and said “Well that’s interesting, let’s see how this goes.”

Twilight bought herself a ticket while Jay paid for his ticket as well as Vinyl and Tavi’s. The four of them went in and Jay got a soda and box of candy while the girls got popcorn for themselves. The four of them went into the theater and sat down. Jay yawned and stretched then put his arms around his two mares while Twilight got lost in the movie. He watched the movie with rapt attention finding Daring Do’s adventures to remind him a lot of the trouble he got in. However unlike most here, he had a feeling it was real adventures just dramatized. Jay munched on his candy as he watched the movie, occasionally covering the girl’s eyes to surprise them, and watching Twilight carefully.

When the movie was over Jay walked out with the three mares and Twilight bid them farewell as she had to go pick up Spike. Jay bid her farewell and looked at his two mares who mumbled she wasn’t so bad. He chuckled and said “Let’s get our stuff and head back home.” The girls nodded and they walked back to the hotel before going up to their rooms and grabbing their stuff. However on their way out, Jay was stopped by a guardsman. He sighed and asked “Am I in any sort of trouble?” The guardsman shook his head and he said “Alright lead on.”
He threw his bags to Vinyl and said “I’ll probably see you guys in the morning, just wait for me at the house.” They nodded and waved him off then he followed the guard toward the palace.

The guard said “Princess Celestia wishes to speak with you.” Jay nodded and motioned for him to lead on. He was led throughout the palace until they got to Celestia’s study where the guard knocked on the door. She called them in and the guard said “Princess I have the stallion you requested. He was just about to leave Canterlot.”

Celestia sighed and said “I didn’t need you to stop him Lieutenant. Thank you though. I would like to speak with Mr. Wolf alone.” The guardsman saluted and left through the door shutting it behind him. Jay watched her until she motioned to a chair and said “Take a seat Jay.” He did as instructed and she held her hand out for a shake. He took it and shook slowly watching her eyes for any clues as to what the princess was planning. She yawned and said “Sorry it’s been a long day. Raising the sun, and setting the moon, can wear on a person. I only get to sleep in on the darkest days of the year.” Jay nodded in understanding and stretched then popped his back.

She studied him and he said “So, what did you want to see me for Princess?” Celestia blinked surprised and he said “Even if it was just for pleasant company you have an ulterior motive for inviting me here when you could have just sent me a letter or something, so I figure you have things you need to get off your chest. I also figure it has to do with the filly on the moon.”

Celestia blinked and asked “Filly on the moon? You mean Mare in the moon?” Jay shook his head and watched her. She stared at him and asked “Who is the filly you speak of? The only mare that had anything to do with the moon is the mythical nightmare moon.”
Jay snorted and said “Then you have forgotten about your own sister.” Celestia flinched and stared at him as he continued “She however hasn’t forgotten you. She still loves you, but she’s been fighting with both the nightmare and demonic influence that turned her against you. Honestly I’m surprised it took you two so long to meet with Demons. Speaking of which, there are demons in the Everfree forest. They gave me the marks on my face.”

Celestia gasped and said “What do you mean?” He pointed at the scars across his face in response and she sighed then asked “Is Luna alright?” He nodded and she said “Thank Faust. I was worried she was hurt and alone up there.” Jay snorted at that thinking that she didn’t know just how alone Luna felt. Celestia saw the look in his eyes and said “I have a plan to cleanse her of the taint.” Jay raised an eyebrow and she said “It involves the elements of harmony, but first I need someone to find all six of them.”

Jay sighed and said “One is Twilight Sparkle. The other five must be in Ponyville; otherwise you wouldn’t be planning the summer sun celebration there next year.” She stared at him and he continued “You just don’t know who exactly. Next year Luna breaks free, and the nightmare and demon try to consume her completely. The nightmare already has help here in Equestria thanks to the demons that are in the Everfree. You need as much help as you could get and I am the best stallion for the job.”

Celestia smiled and said “Only if you feel you’re the best stallion for the job. After all you know Ponyville, and you know Twilight. The fact you were able to become her friend so quickly is surprising, but it shows what kind of stallion you really are. Of course, I truly want to be your friend, so I hope you don’t think I’m just using you. If you do then I request that you don’t do this. I would hate to alienate one of the few people in contact with Luna. Honestly I’d rather you just tell me about my sister than search for the elements but I know you’re going back to Ponyville sooner rather than later.”

Jay chuckled and said “Easy Tia. I know how much you love Luna. I was just teasing. You’re a leader who puts her people before herself. That’s great. I think we could be great friends if you actually tried to be yourself around me. As for looking for the elements, I just need to know what they are. I know Twilight is the mysterious element that is supposedly hidden, but I don’t know the other five.”

Celestia blinked and said “How’d you know Twilight is the sixth element?” He tapped the side of his head and she slowly nodded then said “The other elements are Honesty, Laughter, Loyalty, Kindness, and Generosity.” Jay grinned already having a few ponies in mind and Celestia saw the look. She asked “Have prospects in mind?” Jay nodded and she said “That’s great. I’ll have Twilight in town on the Solstice as your world called the longest and shortest days of the year, from what he told me.” Jay nodded and held out his hand for another shake.
Celestia took it and he said “I know you’re hiding things Tia, because so is Luna, but it has something to do with this human you met in the past so I can deal. Anyway I best be off I have a train to catch.” Celestia nodded and watched him go. She sighed when he shut the door.
She stretched and said “So that’s what he was like before he matured. Jay Shadow, wonder how long you’ll run from your past. I know if you’re conversing with Luna she’ll do her best to keep you from running to long. I guess it all depends on when you face…him. He’s the reason you can’t move on. He’s the reason you are split into four. Eventually all four will be revealed, but the question is, are you really an alicorn, or just a human in pony skin?” She sighed and got up heading for her room. As she walked through the halls she saw Twilight talking with her older sister Guard Captain Gleaming Shield.

She noticed both looking up and glancing at her and nodded at them then walked into her room and collapsed on her bed. She wondered why she felt as if Jay was important in more ways than just being her friend. She sighed and mumbled “Why does it feel like he reminds me of Jake. He says he is him, yet they are so different. Jake was so comforting and kind, while he’s so closed off.” She fell asleep, thinking about Jay and his alter ego.

Jay smiled slightly and stretched then popped his neck as he rode the train back to Ponyville. He got out when the train arrived at the station and walked home. As he was walking he heard the sound of a struggle. He snarled at the sound and walked into an alley where Ditzy Doo, the mail mare everyone called Derpy Hooves, was being assaulted. He slammed his fist into the assailants jaw breaking it then kicked him in the ribs as he fell and slammed his head into the wall.

He glanced at Ditzy and asked “I wasn’t too late, was I?” She shook her head and he helped her up then he kicked the assailant in the ribs realizing he wasn’t someone from around Ponyville. He threw the guy out into the street as he led Ditzy out of the alley and said “So, Ditzy Doo, right?” She nodded and he asked “You need some help to get home?” Derpy nodded and Jay led her to her door where her little one Dinky Doo was sitting on the step waiting for her.

They walked in and Ditzy asked “Can I get you anything to drink or eat?” Jay shook his head and sat on her couch looking around then smiled as Ditzy sat across from him, her legs folded and asked “Why’d you help me exactly? I saw several people pass by that alley but none of them helped me. I mean I’m not exactly the best mare in the world what with my eyes, and my dull grey coat and my disaster of a mane.”
Jay gently smacked her causing her to look at him surprised as he said “Don’t you dare talk about yourself like that. You’re a great person and you look beautiful.” Ditzy stared at him and he continued “You’re called Derpy because you’ve messed up a lot but that’s not right. I honestly think you’ll be a lot better if people would boost your confidence. So if you ever need anything just drop by Vinyl and Tavi’s or the local smithy and talk with me. Anyway I’ll leave you be, cause I gotta get home.”

Derpy nodded with a smile and watched him go then hugged Dinky who was looking at the man surprised he was so nice to her mom. She looked at her mom and said “He’s, a good guy Mommy.” Derpy nodded and hugged her filly tighter as Dinky said “Love you momma, can I go out and play?” Derpy nodded and set her down then watched her run off.

Jay smiled as he walked along the street feeling like his old self. He was almost tempted to go back to being Jake, but there was still a target he had to find before he could reclaim his name. Plus he preferred Jay, it just rolled off the tongue better.

He figured he’d change his last name back to Shadow when all was said and done though. It would be a joining of past and present to form a better future. He walked into the house as he was thinking this and saw Vinyl and Tavi sitting in the living room with their heads together talking softly. He coughed but that didn’t rouse their attention so he said “Girls I’m home.” They tackled him and peppered him with kisses then got up and smiled offering him their hands. He took them and climbed back to his feet then said “I’m going to be travelling around ponyville for the next couple of months, and probably travelling to Canterlot. I just feel like I can help out the princess. Anyway I’m off to bed because I’m exhausted. Goodnight.”

They bid him a goodnight and he climbed the stairs to his room deciding in the morning he’d travel around Ponyville talking with everyone and just reacquainting himself with the people he lived around. After all, it wasn’t every day you found your life lifted by the love of two mares.

Author's Note

There you go chapter 5. The reason Celestia pretended to only know about Nightmare moon is most ponies don't know about Luna in modern times, and she didn't want to discuss her sister until she brings her back to her senses. That said you'll notice she was quick to remind him that she does love her sister. Anyway may take a bit for the next chapter but I'll see you then unless you leave a comment.
