"Alright," Vinyl starts, "First thing first let's talk business."

"What?" I question.

"I want you to preform during Nightmare Night."

"Huh?"

"Come on it'll be fun Tavi and I will even help you."

"Please Mr. Tucker your performance the other day was amazing and us and many other ponies would love to see more." Adds Octavia.

"Sure I'll do it."

"Alright now that that's out the way on to a new topic I wanted to know why you beat the stuffing out of those minotaurs." Asks Vinyl.

"They had came to Ponyville to fight me so I gave them what they came for." I shrug.

"That's quite impressive are you a soldier?" Questions Octavia.

"No I'm not I just learned to fight for self-defense purposes."

"Well whoever taught you did a good job. On a different note did you learn to play any instruments?"

"Yeah a few, if you want I can go get them."

"Please do." Responds Octavia. I turn to leave the room and notice that now its only Rarity talking to gramps. Once out in the hall I run to the bathroom and use my key once in the room I load a cart with a few intruments and a little surprise it takes about ten minutes. Once I'm back in the room I see that now Applejack is talking two gramps one on one. "Oh good you're back Vinyl was getting impatient."

"Was not! So what's all this?"

"Well these are all the instruments currently in my posesion. We have two guitars, two basses, a drum kit, a synth, and a keyboard." I state with a smile.

"Why do you have two guitars and basses?" Questions Vinyl.

"One of each is gramps's. Oh and one last thing i brought a karoke machine filled with songs from my time."

"Alright sounds like fun so you wanna kick this thing off now?"

"Let's get this set-up." With that said we get to work connecting the karaoke system and my instruments to Vinyl's sound system. While we're working I notice the six are speaking the the princesses and that Shining Armor is watching me.

Third Person POV

"Thank you Twilight, but we already heard about this from Pixi last night." States Celestia.

"Princess what should we do?" Asks Twilight.

"Nothing my sister and I have a plan I shall send one of my guards to watch over him when he returns to Ponyville also we will have Chrysalis at his side." Replies Luna.

"Wait! Princess why are you sending her to Ponyville?"

"We entend for her to be reformed and we believe Ness is the perfect candidate." States Celestia.

With Discord and Egil

"Its good to hear your plans have gone so smoothly." States Discord.

"Yes they have mostly with Ness's appearance it has caused a stir with a few older dragons. At least those who either don't trust me or wish to take our new country for them selves. Ember has been a great help her father was not a fan of mine, but she likes the idea of dragons getting along with ponies and the like."

"Who would have thought he would be such a source of chaos, and not the fun kind. Although it must be a relief for you now that he's back in the world."

"Yes it is and I'm sure he is just as happy. Even though he can't remember it he's been through so much and it still shows. From him staying with King in that home, his mother's dissapearence, his father's murder, and those tragidies." Egil visibly shudders as does Discord. "I know its hard on his subconscious and I know just a pleasant sight from the past can help." Egil turns toward NT with a somber smile.

"But are you sure he'll be alright in the past he had the sisters, Kai, and those boys along with Pixi and King now its been reduced to one."

"Old friend I don't believe that for a second I know he will find support it will be dIffrent from before, but it maybe better this way."

"Perhaps, but only time will tell I'll do my best to help him. Who knows what the future holds I hope we can handle it." Sighs Discord looking at NT with worry.

"Thank you now I best get ready for what ever he has planned with the mare."

"Before you do what about him dating."

"Ohh no! That's another can of worms so many dragons are intrested to the point they asked me if they could court him. Then I have to worry what may happen during a heat he would be easy pickings if a mare decided to 'take charge' so for now let's not think about that."

"That may be for the best."

With Cadence and Chrysalis

"While I understand your circumstances now I'm still not happy with what happened and I still don't trust you, but I am willing to give you a chance." States Cadence as she stares at Chrysalis.

"Thank you that's all I could ask for." once done speaking Chrysalis turns and begins to leave.

"Stop!" Chrysalis stops and turns toward Cadence shocked, "I think that Mr. Tucker might want to meet you I mean he defended you and if he hadn't said what he did I probably would not heard you out just now."

"I…i guess your right princess I should properly thank him." She begins fidgeting as she says this and Cadence adopts a wide grin.

"Sooo… what are you gonna say too him?" At this Chrysalis seems flustered at this."

Shinning Armors head

"What are his intentions with Twily." This just repeats over and over as the purple alicorn's big brother scowls at the human.

NT's POV

"Aright I think its ready." I turn towards Vinyl and smile.

"So are you gonna start us off?"

"Yeah I got a song to get all of their attention and get this rolling."

"Cool let's do this." Vinyl hops behind her sound system and I hop on the stage and grab a mic.

I take a slip out and use it to change my clothes to a black version of the mask's suit. "Smmmokin'" I do a quick spin and fix my hat. "Vinyl the song's is Mikes Song." She nods and I here the music start.[youtube=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z5thpfhv83M] One minute in and they're all focusing on me and halfway though Discord is on stage dressed in a blue suit and dancing. The song comes to an end, "Thank you. So who's next?" Dash raises a hoof and and steps on stage we continue until everyone excluding gramps has gone, it took sometime with all the duets and encores. To end this musical moment I decided to do a number with gramps, "Vinyl put on the music track for showtime." Gramps smiles knowingly.

"I guess I should get ready." With that he transforms to his humanlike form, tall about six foot two, fair skin, blood red hair, pointed ears, two small horns, grey eyes, and he's wearing a suit with a fedora. "Its been a while I hope I can keep up."

"I know you can." I change into a similar outfit and notice the shock on everyone's faces. "Its a family thing I was told my dad could do it too." They all just nod. "3 2 1 go." As we start Discord joins. [youtube=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U5xAfRUqxsc&itct=CB0QpDAYACITCNenv7ajq8wCFQVWfgodJkkFHjIHcmVsYXRlZEiGmbq08NnItLQB] At the end I throw my hat. "That was fun but I shall retire for the night."

"Alright Gramps goodnight don't let the hunter bite." He laughs as he transforms and leaves the room. The rest of the party is uneventful just eating and small talk until Pinkie suggests truth or dare at this point the party is only me, Dash, Vinyl, Rarity, Pinkie, and the princesses and they're all happy to. They turn towards me expectantly "sure I'll play." They all let out a small cheer. We sit down in a circle and Pinkie starts.

"Vinyl truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to let me wear your shades for the rest of the night."

Vinyl seems taken aback by this I guess her shades are pretty important. "Fine!" She floats the glasses on to Pinkies face which looks quite smug. "My turn Luna truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to…" her eyes drift over to me and she smiles, uh oh! "Levitate NT around the room."

"Easy" before I could protest I'm lifted in to the air and moved around the room once I'm set down I scurry to a garbage can and start dry heaving. "Oh my apologies Ness I should not have acted so hastily."

"Don't worry I'm fine." I wave.

"Alright truth or dare."

I weigh my options, "Dare." This feels like a bad idea.

"I dare you to turn us human." Everyone excluding Vinyl seems to agree and Vinyl seems shocked.

"He can do that!?" Shouts Vinyl.

"Yeah he did it to Twi on the way here." States Dash.

"Give me a minute." I get to work drawing five circles. "Done just stand in the circles and leave it to me." They step on the circles and I use a few slips to channel my magic and clothe them when done. "There you go. Move slow its hard to adapt to a new body," They all seem OK excluding Celestia who was about to fall. "Easy now just sit down." She sits down and I notice Celestia, Luna, and Dash all still have their wings but they grew bigger.

"Mmmmm." Moans Vinyl I stop her and give them an explanation of the female body to the best of my ability along with why they have to wear clothes. "So this isn't OK?" She flips her shirt and flashes me.

"No its not." I cover my eyes. "Can we get back to the game." I shout.

"Fine." Smiles Vinyl, "but you looked like you enjoyed the show."

"Dash truth or dare?"

"Dare." Perfect.

"I dare you to fly around the room…"

"Easy."

"While you're human and carrying Vinyl." Her smile fades and Vinyl scowls at me.

"Maybe not as easy." Dash stands up and grabs Vinyl and takes off. Its pretty funny because Dash currently can't fly straightstraight. She lands on me. "Done whew."

"Yipe." I shriek as I receive a full blue body press.

"Whoops. Sorry buddy." At this point Dash is straddling me.

"Shouldn't you two wait till you're alone?" Snickers Vinyl as she steadys herself.

We both blush and move to separate. "Uhh! Rarity truth or dare?"

"Dare darling." I have a bad feeling this will effect me.

"I dare you to kiss NT." I should have known.

"Ness please come here." Asks Rarity as she stands up.

"Sure." I know this will happen one way or the other.

"Don't worry I will be gentle and make it up to you." She winks then grabs my shoulders and her lips come crashing into mine, I'm not sure how long it lasted but it felt like a while, she leans into the kiss and her new height helps her dominate me and she seems to know it as prods with her tounge for entrance. Luckily for me before it went any further Luna pulled us apart. "Oops seemed I got carried away." Rarity wipes some saliva from her mouth. "Princess Celestia truth or dare."

"I think I'll take a dare." Rarity didn't seem ready for that, nor was I for that kiss.

" I dare you to…" Rarity seems a loss.

"Levita…" Vinyl starts.

"No not again. Here ride my board." I unfold and activate it.

"Yes I dare you to ride Ness' hoverboard." States Rarity.

"I believe I can handle that." States Celestia as stands up a little wobbly.

"We'll see. Alright you need to control the flow of magic slowly." She step on the board and I stop my magic flow and Celestia takes over.

"As you can see I can handle this." I lightly tap the board and she falls both Luna and I start laughing hystericly and Celestia joins us. "Alright it was more difficult than you made it look. Pinkie Pie truth or dare?"

"Dare!"

"I want you to prank Discord."

"Okie doki loki." She dissapeared into the hall and returns in about 30 seconds with a smile. "All done."

"Oo a piece of candy." I hear Discord's voice. "What? Oh dear Norway." Discord enters the room covered in cheese an feathers and we all start laughing. "I realize this may be karma so I will let it slide everypony gets one." With that he walks away.

"Well its getting late we should head to bed." States Rarity with a yawn so I turn everone back.

"Yeah Rares is right g'night." Dash, Vinyl and Pinkie leave the room and leave me, Rarity, and the princesses.

"Good night princesses, NT." Rarity punctuates that with a wink.

As Rarity leaves Gramps returns and so does Chrysalis. "Gramps good thing you're back I need you to help me see the future." Everyone looks at me.

"You two can see the future?" Questions Chrysalis.

"No but my friend Kai could and she was able to leave me a future sight spell but only someone with strong magic can activate it."

"Funny I came back for my own reason." He pulls out some clothing.

"It can't be you fixed it?"

"Yes I did you should wear these with pride and don't worry they won't fall apart ever again." I feel a tear come from my eye.

"What is so important about these clothes?" Asks Chrysalis.

"These are the ones you made with Egil and your father and the hat is your crest as a dragon." States Luna.

"That's correct it was a memory I keep it to myself since eight months ago they were both heavily damaged in a fight. My crest was split and my clothes nearly burned off."

"What's so special about the clothes?" Ask Chrysalis.

"Its my combat suit its enchanted originally it acted as armour and gave me greater manuverablity. So gramps what did you so."

"I changed two things first the suit (looks like the vampire garb from smash.) can't be destroyed and the wings connect to your body now. Also the crest (the dragon helmet but smaller and similar coloring to NTs hair.) won't be fully fixed until you put it on." I nod. "Now if we use that spell you need to tell them."

"Right. So this spell works using magic wavelengths you all happen to all match mine so you will also see a vision of the future and it won't be pretty Kai's note tells of something bad." They all just nod and seem to be ready. "Let's do this gramps." I pull out the note and he channels his magic and the room starts to fade away.

I'm standing in front of a chimera in Ponyville and there is fire around. "Heh Nessy boy look what happened all those ponies burned because you didn't want to take a hit and they thought you would protect them. What a joke the blood letter as a protector of the weak you've been a killer for the last six months, before that the boy who punched a hole in the, and the setember demon and you think you can change. Never and I bet you thought it was gone, but it will never will be you are a monster hahahaha…" The beast keeps laughing I see Twilight walk up. "Twilight no get back=" then the monster lashes out with the snake head and before I can react it bites Twilight and her body falls limp in its maw. I feel this vision ebb away and tears fill my eyes.

Back in the real world I see that whatever they saw shook them. "I'm sorry about whatever you saw." They look at me but not how I expect they seem worried about me I'll guess what they saw was what will happen because of what I already saw. "Don't tell me what you saw what ever it is will be better than what I did. I'm going to sleep." I leave the room but I hear them begin discussing.

Monday

I wake up to the weight of a wooden puppy on my chest with out cracking an eye I speak, "Yoh get off me or no more belly rubs." He scoots off my chest and to the mattress. "Good boy." He groans as I crack an eye and I'm met with the changeling that I saw first yesterday. "Hello?"
It jumps and hides behind a chair. "Don't worry I'm friendly."

"T-th-thats not it." From the voice I can tell its female. "I know I shouldn't be watching you like this, but I was curious about you. You seemed to be fine with changelings even Chrysalis."

"I have no reason not to."

"I wanted to properly speak to you and I thought waking you up would be a good time." Before she can continue Chrysalis walks in.

"Chel are you in here." She looks from the Changeling now known as Chel to me. "Sorry about this she is extremely curious, but lacks self-control."

I smile, " Its fine Queenie I don't mind." I notice a look of worry for half a second. "Don't worry about the vision I can handle it." She smiles, last night after I left the room she followed me and we ended up talking for a few hours it was nice, I get up and I give her a hug. "You're stuck with me as a friend for a while." We spend a half hour talking until a maid tells us its time for breakfast. "Alright you two need to go so I can change and get ready for the day."

"Fine." Huffs Chel.

"I'll speak to you later." Chirps Chrysalis.

I wave and shut the door. I grab my shorts, crest and jacket then get in the shower. Within fifteen minutes I'm on my way to the dinning room. On my way I notice one of the minotaurs from yesterday but now he is in a uniform, he sees me but keeps walking. I also run into Blueblood. "Morning buddy."

He stops and turns toward me. "Oh good morning Ness how are you?"

"Good how about you?"

"Fine. Hey where's your timberwolf?"

"He said he was tired from what you two did yesterday and wants to sleep in." He laughs a bit and we enter the dinning room and I see the girls, princesses, and old fogies. "Morning." They all respond and I take a seat between gramps and Rarity while Blue sits between the princesses. I silently pray that no one mentions last night. "Gramps keep an eye on the minotaur representative the guys who attacked me I saw him speaking with one." I whisper to gramps.

"Interesting." He strokes his chin and closes his eyes.

Celestia seems to notice our conversation. "What are you two talking about?"

"Just that I'm happy that I made such interesting new friends." She smiles and seems content with my awnser, but I feel that she knows that's not what we were talking about.

"That's good to hear maybe I'll have you send me friendship reports too."

Before I can react Discord appears behind me. "No fair I was going to have him be my student you have Twilight and the elements and Luna has that Lulamoon mare. What about me I watched this boy grow up." He pouts.

"You done Mr. DiCaprio that performance was great but you still can't have an emmy." I say with a slow clap, both he and gramps start snickering and I join in.

"Is that some joke from your time NT?" Asks Twilight.

"Yeah."

"So its a joke for old fogies." Quips Dash.

"I wouldn't say that Rainbow Dash he's younger than you." Replies Discord with a smug grin.

"Wait how old are you then?"

"I'm 19." The elements seem surprised.

"Hmm didn't think Rarity would've gone after a younger guy like that?" I feel the heat in my face build, thank god for my dark skin, knowing exactly where this is going damn you Dash expect some payback. Also I notice a blush forming on Rarity's face, and gramps stopped chewing.

"What are ya talkin' bout Dash?" Questions Aj.

"Oh nothing just that when we played truth or dare last night NT and Rarity made out, it got to the point where we had to separate them. Here's a picture." She actually had a photo.

"Where did you get that?" I shout and see everyone who hadn't seen this before eyes the size of dinner plates. Also gramps and Discord both take a spit take.

"Vinyl took it while you two were tounge wrestling." I put my head on the table and cover it to hide from any more embarrassment. "So when are you two gonna go on that date?" She teases. This goes on for five minutes.

"Eh hem." Speaks up Luna, "Enough picking on our friend. Let's talk about something else… oh I recived a request last night for you to preform today would you be willing to?"

"Sure. Gramps you and mixed bag need to help me I don't want to bother Vinyl this time." They both nod. "What time?"

"I will have a stage ready by noon." States Luna. "I can't wait to see you preform again."

"Alright I'm going to go sightsee." I stand up and walk back to get Yoh and go check out the city. On my way out of the castle with Yoh I run into Chrysalis, "Hi Queenie." I sing.

"Huh?" She look around confused then turns to me. "Oh hello Ness where are you headed?"

"Gonna go sightsee where were you headed?"

"To check on the other changelings that came with me there are some who work around Canterlot and stay at their place of employment."

"How many came with you?"

"About twenty including myself, ten in the castle and nine in town. Oh! How about I show you around while I make my round?"

"Sounds like fun." I smile and we both leave the castle.
