Hmmm... well this is interesting... A student of Celestia's taking an interest in supposedly old wives tales?

Well I should probably introduce my self, I am Ubuze, That means Void, the thing(s) that I have absolute power over, much Like Discord and his childish Chaos... Still a bit painful that memory.

I suppose you're wondering who I am and what I'm doing. Well to answer the who I would have to go through some boring history lessons... to answer the what I'm doing? well I'm just watching as always. These ponies can be quite entertaining if you know where to look!
Just in case you are wondering what I am... Well suffice to say that I am a Draconequus, albino fur, dark scales, Deep purple hair, and a purple-fire tail-tip.
But! Back to the story...

Lavander coat? ooh thats rare, Twilight sparkle... I wonder if Celestia knows what Coat colours mean?.. Probably not.
"SPIKE!! Take a letter!" she hollered at the young, Royal Wyvern... who I doubt even knows what he is...
"ok, ok relax Twilight!, just gotta go and give this present to Moonbeam then I'll be right there!"
"NO TIME FOR PARTIES SPIKE!" she practically screamed... Wow lady, no party time, what will Pinkie Pie say?

"Oh don't worry Uncle Uby, She'll just LOVE LOVE LOVE my parties!"

"Oh dear, it seems that talking about her summons her." I say, then clamp my claw over my mouth

"Yo-you don't want me here?" Pinkie sniffled

"What! No! its just that there some confidential stuff in here and you aren't allowed to look at it. Imagine it as if it was Celestia's Diary, Ok?"

"Okie Dokie Loki!"Pinkie bounced, leaving my chamber...

I'll never know how she learned to control the Chaos Magic Discord gave her family...
Buuut, She's awesome, and this is coming from an X million year old Draconequus who saw entire worlds pass by!
On another note, I gave Anabelle 'Granny' Smith the ability to change her age, Her family earned it with how they always stuck to the same "Blood is thicker than anything" spiel, throughout thousands of years, not even one discrepancy! So now Granny can watch out for her family forever, until she wants to die. and when she does, she will.

"Spike, we're going to Ponyville tomorrow to be the official Summer Sun Celebration-" Said Twilight

"Checklist duty? aww man!." Spike interupted

"What do you mean Spike? This is perfect! We can quickly make sure it's all as it should be and then prepare for Nightmare Moon!"

"You still believe that story? It's just an old mare's tale Twilight, told to scare kids into behaving and that!"

if only he knew... Well I might as well go to Ponyville anyway, been a long time since I stretched these old bones and Pinkie will probably recognise me on site, better to get there before Twilight though...


Ponyville, two seconds later.


"Okay, I've messed with the towns records and created myself a house near the Everfree." (The last natural place on the planet, and I'm going to keep it that way).

"The path to the house is done, plumbing, electricity and heating are installed. Furniture is all in place and made of the finest stuff the Void can make, it's registered under 'Watcher Pie'."

Now to shift my form into it.
I turn my body into that of a very fit, middle aged unicorn, with dark grey fur and a purple mane and tail with a grey streak in both, Then I turn my eyes into regular pony eyes with Red iris', lastly I change my hooves to be shown and shaggy (Like Big Mac's)
For my cutie mark I create a rock with a pony shape and binoculars sticking out above it, looking sideways of course.

Now to practice walking on two stumps with no control over how it lands on the ground. oh this is going to be painful.

*SMACK* "attempt #142 at jogging failed, try try try try again."
*SMACK*
*CRASH*
*BOOM*
*BAKAWK* "Attempt #232 Failed, Invisible chicken detected somewhere."
*Crickets chirping* "HA I DID IT FUCK YOU HOOVES I DID IT I'M THE BEST! HAHAHAHA!" *SMACK* "OW FUCKING WALLS!"

With my... training program out of the way I summon saddlebags, both with my cutie mark on it, and fill them with $400 copper, Iron and bronze bits (Copper bit is $1, Iron is $10 Bronze is $50, Silver is $100, Gold is $500, Platinum is $1000). I then head into town, going to Sugarcube Corner, where my niece works! [Note: Pinkie is my niece in name, as I have always been there for that family (ever since the great uniting) they eventually adopted me in, I am there biggest secret because they all know I'm immortal, AND THEY DIDN'T CARE!!!. just, that was very touching, truly there are some amazing people in this world.]
Oh and if your asking how I knew the way... I may have created a map out of other peoples memories...

When I arrived at Sugarcube corner it was one pm... the rush hour...
I walked inside and, guess what, there was only one empty table. The line went form counter to door and i'm pretty sure that it did a loop-de-loop at some point.
I sat at the table before someone could take it, then I waited, Zoning out and having a look at Celestia... Bath- NOPE i'm not perv- urge stronk- No I WILL NOT GIV- oh fuck it just one peek

"Hey there Uncle!" Shouted Pinkie, snapping me out of almost making a... mistake... yea a mistake... Everyone turned to look at me, i'm guessing they didn't know Pinkie even had an uncle...

"Watcher Pie is my name right now sweets." I whisper, then say. "Hey Pink! How ya been since.. How long has it been, Four years?"

"I'mGreat!HowAreYou?WhatAreYouDoingHere?AreYouMoving?DidSomethingHappen?!" She babbled, The gasped for breath.

"I'm going as well as a stallion of my age can hope, I'm moving in yes and my house is near the forest, A bit south of a cottage with a load of animals, and no, nothing happened, I just wanted to move." I say, without having to breath "Oh and you should probably get back to work, you are still on the clock after all!"

"Okie Dokie Loki! I'll come back and we can talk more after the rush Ok?" She says

"Of course! Wouldn't want to miss out on quality time with my tied for favourite Niece!" I say back, then settle back down, watching the other ponies as they start to whisper.

"He's her uncle?"

"She has an uncle?"

"I thought she was an orphan?"

"He's so old though! If he's her uncle then how old is her dad?"

I go back to browsing through 'cameras' and stop on the statue of Discord, sighing I turn away from it and go back to listening.
For the next ten minutes I just listen as they talk shit about me and Pinkie, about how they thought she was an orphan, about how I must be a perv cause of my cutie mark.

Then a prismatically haired... Tomboy Struts up to me.
"So your Pinkie's Uncle Huh? How come we've never heard of you before HUH?" She said, getting into my face and putting her hands on the table.

"Has she ever talked about her family? Pinkie doesn't really spend much time talking about herself if I recall correctly, She's just to generous to others do that." I say bluntly.

"Well no... But that doesn't mean we wouldn't have seen you in the pictures of her family in her room!" she says... She is digging way to far into this to be sane.

"You were in her room? Does that mean that My little Pinkie has a marefriend? And that you had premarital se-" She slaps her hand over my mouth, blushing madly.

"N-nonono we are just friends we've just had sleepovers is all, now then back to the-" she was interupted.

"Okay uncle My shifts over! Now I can show you around town YAY! said Pinkie, "Oh and don't worry, I know you don't like parties so it'll just be a small one with my main friends, This is Rainbowdash, then theres Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, She's the one who lives next to you in the cottage, Then theres Mrs and Mr cake, and thats all! Just a small get together okay?" she asked, not really asking.

Knowing that she was only making it small for me was touching, to say the least, and I instantly agreed.

"Okay Pink, and that you for making it small."

"Anything for family, silly!" she giggled.
