Silver is now pregnant, courtesy of the true Silver. Will his mind break down or will she cope?

Part1:From man to mare
Part2:From man to mare: chaotic convergence
Part3:From man to mare: an aching heart
Part5:From man to mare: Time to tell

Derry, now Silver, had a little "issue" during Hearts and Hooves day. Both he...erm...she...and Cyclon now have to deal with the thing that "Silver" feared since becoming a mare: being pregnant. As a man, the thought of pregnancy was reserved for women so he never thought that it would affect him afterwards. Hopefully, with the help of the six, she'll manage to deal with eleven months of swelling up, but will the introduction of a little face actually manage to break the barrier surrounding "The hermit"s heart? And will Cyclon retain all of his motor skills and the majority of his body?

(This one won't be short like the previous. After all, "An aching heart" was meant to be a cliffhanger story)

The pic is from HoovesLikeJagger. Cute and cuddly, isn't it?

Silver's new lesson

"Oh god...I must be having a nightmare."

Heheha!

"I'm...pregnant..."

Aye.

"How did this happen? When I was very careful with being a mare..."

You'd love to know, wouldn't you?

"Wait...when Cyclon kissed me on the lips and I blacked out...who was there again?"

I was.

"Yes. Silver was there. She said that she knocked both me and Cyclon out and was controlling our bodies...but why do this to Cyclon?"

Perhaps because he also has some things to learn as well? Now you two are together in this. However, this will still be your lesson in lerning, ahem, 'learning' how precious life is and how you must accept the gift. Yet, I don't think that you can hear me. No matter. Even if you wake up, you'll still be in the hospital with the little bundle in yer BELLEH! Ya were just so hungry that ya ate it! *smack smack* Mmmm. Bebeh...the otherrr meat. Just because you're higher on the food chain doesn't validate your actions. Ha! I'm done with telling myself jokes now. Hm? What are you thinking about?

"OH GOD! She didn't! I was r-"

NONEEDFORTHAT! You still forced my essence, Derry. I was hoping that with that simple chi release, you'd be more willing, but, apparently, you are not. Now then, with us floating within this dark abyss like glow worms, let me see how you will react to having a child. My magics have grown tremendously thanks to the little bit of positivity you've been releasing, especially that hidden love.

The white essence of the Giga Sparkle, aka "The true Silver", swiped its white hoof in the air, leaving a trail of white mist to slowly dissipate. A small window seemed to open up. While her magic was certainly more developped now, it wasn't perfect. As a consequence, the window of "the future" was extremely blurred. The Giga Sparkle could barely discern anything, but heard laughing nonetheless. It closed the window and thought out loud:

Hm. There be issues. Good heavens! Just look at the time. Well then, 'Happy mother', I shall let you wake up and embrace the new life you are about to give birth to. I should warn you, but you can't hear anything. Heheheh. Do you feel like a monster now?

*GASP* I was sweating heavily, and this was cold sweat. Very cold sweat. So cold, in fact, that it felt like I was in Antartica. I was even hyper-ventilating. As I felt myself get drained of the last bit of energy left in me, I felt something placed over my face that helped steady my breathing. I was seeing in blurr, an I could hear a cackling followed by giggling of something small...young...

"Ahh!"

"Calm down, miss! You've only fainted...first. That shoulda been the job of your hubby over there."

"Wha-?"

I wiped and rubbed my eyes to see Cyclon wide awake and staring at the ceiling in a shocked manner.

"That was just a dream then? I'm not pregnant?"

"Oh, I don't know anything about that." said the nurse.

The nurse in front of me had a red mane and tail and a hot pink body. Her eyes were emerald green, and she seemed very sweet, that's until that...other guy came in. Ahem, "guy".

" 'Course you're pregnant sweetie. You think the doctor gets mistakes like that? Certainly not. He's my cube of sugah."

Everyone cringed simultaneously, and the sound of exhasperation could be heard from afar.

"Wh-wh-what? I never even did that! Who's the father?"

The two nurses looked at eachother and, with a lift of their heads, pointed towards Cyclon, who nervously turned his head to look at me. Despite his white coat, I could see that he was paler than usual. I simply squinted.

"Did you notice anything strange about me during that point in time?" I couldn't think about doing that in any way poss-GAH! DAMN YOU BRAIN!

I am the mastah!

"I...I don't recall doing that either. I mean, I kissed you, but then I blacked out. I had assumed that you punched the crap outta me and that I was dead."

"Whateva. You two can talk 'bout that outside. Now as for you, little missy." Greta pointed at Silver who was now glaring back. "Don't you make those eyes at me! You better lay down on all activities and rest when you feel sick. You have a widdle thing in your belly that's just ready to reach out into the world to meet its mommy and daddy. It's impolite to make them wait or to hurt them in the process."

"Anything else?" Cyclon asked.

"Nope. You two are stable now, so you can leave."

"Th-thank you."

I ripped off the breathing apparatus and hopped down the bed. I glared viciously at Cyclon, trying to tell him indirectly that I wanted his blood on a golden platter. He understood, and was shrinking away. The two nurses just stared at us in confusion and amusement. As we were about to leave the room, I kicked that bastard into a wall, tossing a bunch of objects on the floor with him. I hope he learned his lesson. I hate this. I thought Silver was my friend. Why would she do this to me? She was the last person that I "loved" seeing as nobody ever loved me in return and she was also my very first and only gift...until I reached this world. I waited for Cyclon outside the hospital, hoping he'd come. I had a thing or two to tell him...in a "calm" manner, and here he came. He was brusied up and dirty, and he looked at me in shame as he dragged his head between his legs. I walked up firmly towards him and spoke sternly and confidently:

"Listen Cyclon, I don't know what happened (I like to lie a bit) but what I do know is that-"

"I take full responsibility."

"Yeah and...wait what?"

"I also do not know what occured that day, but perhaps it was something unknown that caused it. Either way, I'm still the father and I will take care of the child. I am a captain of the royal guard after all, and I have been tasked with protecting everything, even if...it means my...ngh!" he was biting his lips and twitching. "My own child..."

"Woah. I see that you're as disturbed as I am."

"Are you kidding me? I never wanted to be a father. I just wanted to have a nice life with a kind, pretty mare, and that we would die in peace somewhere in nature."

"I...I never actually wanted anything other than living alone."

"Because of what you told me about your family?"

I looked to the ground.

"Yes. I've never had the best childhood, and the years later never helped much. Let's just say that I thought I'd never get a...you know..."

I put a hoof to my stomach. "Oh god. This is horribly awkward. What am I going to do?!"

I dunno. Not my fault. Deal with it while I imagine putting on some sunglasses.

"Yeah. Well, it's best that we get back to the house. We have much to do. I'll have to tell Bullseye that I won't be there for the meeting and that, if he needs anything from me, he'll have to come directly here or pass through Motel."

I rolled my eyes at the name of that weird pegasus. Just two days ago, he raced Rainbow Dash. I thought she could never be beaten. He even placed a bet for a little smooch on the cheek. Nothing more, nothing less. If Rainbow won, he'd have to do her meteorological work for a month. I don't know how he did, but he beat her, and he wasn't even tired either. Rainbow gave him that kiss on the cheek, he bowed, then just dropped through the clouds before performing a crazy-ass manoeuvre back to the Carrot family farm.

"Then I suggest you pass by Twilight's house. I feel tired. I'm going to bed for now. This is too much to take in."

"I hear ya. Well, see you later."

Seriously. I felt like my soul was being sucked out of my body. What the hell was going on? It's like I was being attacked by Freddy Krueger or something. I could literally feel some sort of claws itching away at my mind. Everything started to blur and tilt, but I held strong and galopped towards the house. The spell dissolved, and I dragged myself all the way to the bed. I had never felt so comfortable before. I rolled around in the comfortors and pillows like a happy dog and fell asleep after rolling up in the comfortors like a caterpillar. I felt myself drift off to a land full of brightness. Oh, was I ever so wrong.

I woke up in the cottage again. I moaned and looked to my side to see that noone was there. A shrug was followed by me jumping off the bed, only to land rather highly on the ground.

"The fuck? *gasp* My voice...I'm me again! Woohoo!" I shouted as I threw my arms in the air. I took the time to look at my wiggling fingers on my hands. "Ah. It's good to have these things again. That was a really...weird dream I had. That felt like long-ass dream too. Weeeeeeeeeird. But atleast I'm myself again. Now let's see how those who tried to breach my home are toasted. I just love that security system."

With a wide smile and semi-closed eyes, I walked up to the windows up front, being careful not to knock over my T.V. or glass table. Pushing the curtains aside, I could see some people twitching and smoking in front of the electrical fence.

"Haha! I should help them...Nah!"

With another big laugh, I hopped over to my fridge in its little corner of the house. This "kitchen" wasn't too big, but it was exactly what I needed to cook. I took out some leftovers from the previuos night and slouched on the couch happily. Turning on the television, I got to see some funny movie that had just started. It was barely an hour long, that I noticed that long counter that passed through the middle of the house. At its edge stood the Silver doll. Wanting a little conversation with myself, I said with my mouth full:

"Nomf...Hey Silver...Mmm. I had the worst dream. I actually dreamt that I had...momf...become you and that you made me pregnant near...the...end? What the fuck?"

Everything was going quiet as an ominous feeling was coming from the stuffed pony. I stared longer at it and saw a little spark that appeared for barely a nano-second. Suddenly, bitch and oil came through the door.

"What the hell are you two doing here?"

"Can't we come to see our only child?" my mother said, wearing some nasty swamp green outfit.

"No."

"Let us not be too violent now. We just came by to say hello." Oil followed.

"No. You aren't getting my money. I'm passing it to shelters and animal refuges while leaving a little for me so I can live peacefully out here. Now fuck off. You don't deserve to be called parents."

"When you're about to become one? How ironic." bitch mocked.

I looked at her like "Huh?".

"Yes. In fact, your grand-father came by to see you."

"Grand-pa? B-but he's dead!"

"I may be old, but I'm not THAT old yet."

There he was, in flesh and bone.

"But, then why did you give me an inheritance and fake your death?"

"You catch on quick. It's because you needed the money. What with you becoming a mother and all."

The other two nodded caringly.

"What the fuck are you tal-My voice! Oh no. Ah!"

I looked at my hands to see that I had those silvery hooves like before. I was Silver again.

"Wh-wh-what? B-but..."

"Shshh. Calm down Derry. The little one needs to grow big and strong. I'll have a great-grandson or a great -granddaughter, who knows."

"B-but I'm not a mare! I'm not a pony! I'm a full-grown man." I started to stutter and cry.

My grandfather grabbed me in a hug while tears continued to seep from my eyes and I continued to have those sudden inhales of air.

"Derry, I'm the only thing real here. You may be having a horrible nightmare here and in reality, but you will have to accept what is happening. It's too late now."

I pushed away from him to get a better look at that always caring face. I was expecting an evil grin like when Discord created those weird creatures to trick me. Instead, I still had that same caring face staring at me.

"But I'm not a mare. *sniff* I'm not pregnant.*sniff*"

"Little Derry. You've always been sensitive, although violent too." he said with a casual glimpse to the side. I pouted as my lower lip shook. "Awww. You look adorable now."

"Stop that. This isn't funny. Silver has gone mad and she is torturing me now. Make her stop!"

"Heh. Silver isn't torturing you...erm...entirely. Although I must admit that she went a bit overboard this time. I'm guessing she got tired of waiting for an evolution from you."

"What do you mean?"

"She already told you that. What I'm sure of, is that you have a little child in your tummy."

He put his hand on my still flat stomach. He had a way of comforting and calming me down. Of all the creatures in the universe, he was the only one I could trust. I loved him very much, but he died trying to get to me after the years where I grew colder and more distant. I wonder...

"Do not worry Derry, I'm still here. I've been helping you get through this since the first day. I'll still be here to watch over you. Now then, it's time to wake up from this bad dream and that evil impersonation of Silver."

He tapped me once more on my belly before setting me back on the ground. I sat on my rear as I stared at him with gigantic watery eyes. He stood up and firmly grasped the evil Silver and tore it to pieces and tossed the stuffing into the air.

"Let the light purify you and heal you."

"What? Huh?"

I felt myself engulfed by a bright white light, only to wake up with Cyclon shaking me.

"Silver. Silver! Wake up!"

"Huh?"

I stood up difficultly, then I lift my arms."Damn. Hooves. *sigh* Then that wasn't a dream."

"You were mumbling something about your grandfather and you were crying."

I wiped my eyes in sadness as I sniffed heavily. I was about to break when Cyclon gave me a hug.

"There there. No need to cry. I'm here, aren't I? We'll get through this together. I won't let you deal with this alone."

"I...Thanks, Cyclon."

He nodded and left the room to get something in the kitchen. I took the opportunity to look outside through the window. The sun was beginning to set, but the world was still bright with its sunlight?

"Hm. I wonder if that really was my grandfather. I hope he's was telling the truth."

Coping with regret

It was a new day. Falling back asleep was more difficult than I thought, but my tears lulled me back to dreamland, where nothing bad happened again. My grandfather, if that was really him, knew full well what was happening and was watching over me. I wonder...did he manage to influence divinity to throw this curse upon me, or is it really all Silver's fault? Whatever the case, Cyclon had left early and came back with Twilight in the living room. She had a book about the...pregnancy and how one should live with that. She had a fuckton amount of books from pregnancy to raising a child. I could hear them mumbling about how this happened and how we don't know(Well, he doesn't know. Fucking Silver) either.
Carefully, I hopped out of the bed to ensure that they didn't hear me wake up. With worry and the same effect on my face as yesterday evening, I carefully slid the door open to see those two talking things out about the current situation and how we were going to cope.

"Ah? Hey Silver." Twilight shouted.

"Damn. You heard me?"

"Of course. Come take a seat next to me."

I hesitated at first. This was a terrible feeling, one that I would never become accustomed to. The barfing was already enough. I'm just hoping that the hormonal imbalance won't happen.

"You okay?" she asked me.

I was staring at the floor. I had my mouth stretched upwards in a type of "I'm crying and thinking" manner.

"I will be, eventually. I just don't like the idea of having this little thing stretching my belly and growing inside of me."

"It'll be okay. Everything will be fine. Hey, calm down. Everypony you know will help you through this. Cyclon is going to stay with you for the entire time, and Fluttershy knows how to be gentle, so you could learn a thing or two from her."

"Yeah, well, I don't mean to insult, but I think you are the last person to know about this sort of thing."

"That's true. Reading books does't give life experience. Hmmmm."

"How about asking the Cakes? They already have two children. Perhaps they could give us some insight on what to do and how to do it." Cyclon proposed.

"Hmm...Yeah. They could help. That's good thinking. What about you, Silver? Do you agree?"

"Well...I never thought I'd ever have a child, so all help would be useful. I still can't cope with this." I clutched myself and began to shake. It was freezing suddenly.

"Are you okay Silver?" Cyclon was actually worried about me. That was...new.

"It's the hormonal imbalance that's starting. A bit early too. Don't worry though, most of the time, when the imbalance is early, the growth should be quite steady and the baby will come out healthy and very strong."

"That's good to know." I rolled my eyes.

"Well, I'll go get the Cakes. Be right back."

Twilight, with a smile, walked towards the door and left the house. I sighed and stared at the floor a bit more. No matter how many times I said it or thought it, this was just too much. First a mare, then some weird worm thing tries to corrupt my mind, then that dumbass over there tries to hit on me (Which he succeeded in doing, even if it wasn't his goal), and now pregnant?! I fear what Silver might do next.

It's best not to spew ideas like that. Some people might take them and use them. Hmhmhahaha.

"Hey, Silver."

"Hm?" I lift my head up to see that Cyclon had a hoof on mine. This was quite awkward.

"You told me that you had no more family, right?"

"Y-yes."

"I still have mine, and the baby will have us. Just think about it. You never really managed to live with your own parents, and they certainly never managed to live properly with you."

"What's your point?"

"You can be a better parent than anypony will ever be! You can actually give your...our child what you never got."

My eyes widened and my ears perked up at what he said. He was right. My parents were shit holes with a fashion taste bad enough to kill off any fashion designer who looked at them. They were both assholes who never loved me or paid attention to me, so I got hurt badly every day in the process. The maids and butlers may have been there, but they didn't care about me either. The only one good enough for that was my grandfather, whom I've spoken of quite alot. To be honest, I think he's the one that could be considered my real dad, although I didn't spend enough time with him. Not enough time with him...
I stomped my hooves firmly on the ground and stood up straight in a glorious manner, as if emerging victorious from a hard-fought battle.

"You're right. You're definately right. I'll be the best mother anyone has ever seen! Noone will beat me on that regard."

"Yes. And I'll be the best father there is out there. I'll even teach the kid a few moves so he can defend himself."

"Nonono. No need for that. I know quite well what happens when you teach a kid martial arts."

"Eheheh...I was just testing you." Cyclon chuckled nervously while looking left to right.

"Yes. I'm sure you were."

To be honest, that was the best epiphany I ever had...kind of the only one to be truthful. We both waited patiently for the two Cakes to come here, hoping that Twilight could convince them. Oh, were they ever convinced. Five seconds after our next conversation, the door slammed open and Mrs Cake body slammed me, while Mr Cake shook Cyclon like crazy.

"W-w-what's wr-wrong with y-you?" Cyclon stuttered.

"You're going to become a father!" Mr Cake shouted. He was actually smiling. "We'll have quite alot to talk about you and I. Being a father is very hard work."

"And being a mother is even harder." Mrs Cake followed.

"Oh pfpth. It's just as hard."

"Yes. You definately had to carry twins in your stomach for eleven months then had to go through the ordeal of-"

"WEDON'TNEEDTOKNOW!" Twilight, Cyclon, and I shouted.

"You're going to have to go through it anyways, Silver. Trust me. You'll be getting cravings, you'll have trouble moving."

"You're going to get all angry at times. You'll become sad for no reason. You'll break the bed the second you get on it." Mr Cake mocked.

"You'll get annoyed by an obnoxious husband. You'll be told that the very ground shakes beneath your 'grandeur'..."

Cyclon and I were both laughing our hearts out, causing embarassment to the Cakes.

"Ahem, but seriously, you won't have much pleasure during the pregnancy. Trust me dear, I know what I'm saying. You have trouble lying down everywhere, you'll get those random feelings coming from nowhere. The only thing helping me through was knowing that I was going to deliver a new life to the world."

"Yeah. They became two lives. As much as I hate to say it, if Pinkie Pie wasn't there, we'd be having alot of trouble shuffling between work and the kids."

"Perhaps she could help you learn how to play with the babies too." Mrs Cake followed.

"I...where's Twilight?" I asked.

We looked around and noticed that she had left discreetly.

"I don't know, Silver. Wait...she didn't?" Cyclon looked shocked.

"She did. I'll strangle her."

"They were going to figure out one way or another. I don't think a mare whose belly inflates horrendously would be unnoticeable."

"Yeah. I mean, if you saw HER during pregnancy. Oof! It was like getting crushed by a hydra when she rolled over in the bed."

"That's enough, sweetie."

"I still have trouble breathing to this day."

"Shut up."

Cyclon and I were both laughing very well, until I saw him starting to get ideas.

"Make any comments and I'll tear out your stomach and shove your ripped legs into the hole." Cyclon paled as I said this.

"SILVER!" yelled a familiar, extremely annoying voice that I recognized from so long ago. "I heard that you are going to become a mother. I hope that the father is elegant enough to take on his responsibilities. You know how most stallions are." she snuffed.

"I think I have an idea."

"So, who's the dad?" Applejack asked.

"I'm right here." Cyclon spoke almost quietly and began to shrink in the couch.

"Then ya better take yer responsabilities or ah'll hog-tie ya 'n throw ya into the Everfree forest."

"No need for that. I can feel that he is taking his responsabilities quite seriously. Isn't that right little boobyboo?" Fluttershy said as she make a weird face while poking my stomach.

I looked at the others with a "Dafuq?" face. They shrugged in response. In response to the weird faces she was doing and her weird speakings, I swiped her hoof away angrily.

"Stop that."

"Eheheh. Sorry." she blushed horrendously. "I'm just eager to see what the little pony'll look like."

"Yeah. I bet it'll be a colt pegasus. I'll teach him super-cool moves and he'll be my apprentice. Of course, he'll have to learn from Scootaloo first."

"Or maybe a strong earth pony? Ah could get it ta work at the farm an it'll grow to become a very strong pony."

"If it's a unicorn, I could, maybe, teach it to control it's magic and perform powerful spells later on."

"And I could make it clothing. I don't know if it's a colt or a filly yet, so I'll have to wait."

"I see. Well, thanks alot for your help. I'm...not used to it. Cyclon and I have some things to do, so if you could get out right now..."

"Oh! Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you. Just take care."

"I will Fluttershy." I sighed in exhasperation.

They finally left. All that was left was me, Cyclon, and the Cakes.

"You alright, dear?" Mrs Cake asked me.

"I feel that this will be the longest eleven months of my entire life."

3 months, 6 months, 9 months, could've been twelve

It's been 11 months already. My belly has gotten huge, but I can't feel anything yet. That's actually a good thing. I don't like the idea of having weird little aliens moving about in my stomach and ready to pounce out at any given moment with acid for blood. Every morning I wake up to feel that my stomach has gotten a little bit bigger. Of course, that's what I thought awhile ago. Now I feel these little things moving around in my stomach. I'm not sure if there is only one, but I know that it hurts when it kicks. Little bastard. Every day Twilight would bring me more tips while Cyclon would stress even more and more with what was happening to me. I...didn't...hate this...situation. Wow. That was harder to say then I thought. I know my grandfather was watching me and looking over...us...but I couldn't help but feel that something else was watching us and laughing its heart out. Something not from this world. I may not be either, but seeing how I am, and how the situation is that I'm stuck here anyways, that wouldn't be too strange. I had received several gifts from everybody relating to the bebeh.

A bed, some toys, weird ass clothes made by Rarity despite her lack of any form of knowledge considering the existence of the child. Cyclon and Motel had made a little corner of our room big enough for the baby when he comes...I hope it's a he. I wouldn't be able to stand having a girl. It's hard enough being a mare, albeit a PREGNANT one, but having a filly? HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO RAISE ONE?! I only know how to be a guy, and god forbid that I'd ever act like a "Proper mare" as Rarity would put it. She had even been going so far as to say that I would feel more like a mare if I had a child and that I should embrace that part of me that is supposed to be my "true" part. Tcheah. Sure. Nope. Not falling for that shit. I'm already having trouble moving around and lying down with this immense stomach, and even Spike has made some jokes about my blimpness. Is there one thing I fear in all this? Maybe the birthing process. As I've heard before, a woman giving birth has as much pain as a man getting his testicles rolled on slowly ten times by a tank. Just getting kicked was bad enough. I'm not sure I'm ready for this.

So there I was, with Cyclon, Mrs Cake, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Spike in our living room. Spike was eating some cookies that Mrs Cake brought, while Pinkie Pie was talking with Cyclon. I was left with Twilight and the Cake member.

"So Silver, how are you feeling." Cake asked me while stirring a cup of tea she boiled here.

I grunt for a second as I feel another kick. I felt like Psycho Cyclon was in my belly.

"Okay, I guess. Having a huge belly limits movement and placement, and I have to go to the bathroom quite frequently."

"Ah yes, the bathroom. Just know that I had to deal with much worse. Having twins tripled that."

"So you lived on the toilet during your own time in this?"

"Haha. You're very funny. I suppose you have been getting the kicks increasingly?"

"Y-yes."

"Then the baby is going to come soon."

"Oh yeah. I heard it was a...ahem...forceful process." Twilight tried to lighten up her speech. I just looked at her blandly.

"You mean extremely painful so much that it could split the moon in half?"

"Eheheh." she laughed nervously and looked around everywhere.

"Yeah. That's what I thought. So Mrs Cake, how painful was it exactly?"

"I can't say that in front of everypony here."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"C'mon Mrs Cake!" Pïnkie insisted.

"No, Pinkie. I won't."

"Fine. Hey Spike, I challenge you to a cookie eating contest."

"You're on!"

So then, those two had actually challenged eachother to eating cookies. It's a good thing pastry worker here brought enough pastries for the competition.

"Okayyy...so besides that, have you been feeling anything lately?" Twilight asked.

"You mean besides the occasionnal false alarms that she's grown accustomed to?"

Haha. He's got you there.

"False alarms?" Twilight wondered.

"Ah yes. False alarms. It's when you have contractions but nothing happens. The water has to break first."

I shivered.

"Eww. I don't like the idea of me 'melting'."

"Heheh. Melting. That's...disturbing, Silver." Cyclon had a disgusted face.

"Oo! I just remembered! What are you going to call the baby?"

Both Cyclon and I widened our eyes in horror.

"We never thought of that!" I screamed.

"Well, we could call it 'Amber Jewel' if it's a filly and 'Cobalt Opal' if it's a colt."

I looked at him funnily.

" 'Amber Jewel'." I asked him.

I didn't notice it, but my stomach glew a very faint glow, but noone noticed.

"Well...you try and come up with something better."

"I think I can. How about-"

"Hey Twilight. How come the floor is wet?" Spike asked.

"Wet?!" the rest of us shouted simultaneously."

We both looked at the floor underneath me, and the others looked back at me.

"Uh-oh." I blandly said.

I suddenly felt pains emerging that I couldn't stop. The next thing you know, I'm in the hospital room in an awkward position with doctors and nurses around me while I was screaming because of the sheer pains I was feeling. God knows how horrible this was. Cyclon was right next to me trying to comfort me, but we all know how stupid he is. Meanwhile, in the waiting room outside, those that were with me were waiting impatiently.

"Oh. Did you have any problems Mrs Cake?" Twilight worried as she scampered back and forth while Spike and Pinkie Pie continued to play.

"No, deary. At best, she'll be in...erm...tremendous pains until the baby comes out. Trust me. It's a painful process, and it can take several hours."

"Hmmm. Several hours? Their story about her getting pregnant has made me think of the Giga Sparkle. I wonder if it isn't her doing. No matter how many times I think about it, it just seems impossible. She seemed so nice when she helped Cyclon and I within Silver's own mind. I'll have to talk to the princesses about that too."

"You okay Twilight?"

"Huh? Oh! Yes. I was just stuck in my thoughts.I doubt that she'll let the birth take that long."

"Hey, listen! I hear them talking on the other side of the door." Pinkie gestured to the others so that they could also "eavesdrop".

"...n't!"

"But-"

"I swear, if I had hands, I'd tear off your face and eat what's behind. This is your fault."

"Well, you could've prepared anyways. I mean, it's not like you weren't expecting it."

".........I'll kill you! Then I'll spill your innards for all this pain. We'll see how YOU like it!"

"Wow. Are they supposed to become like this during delivery, doctor?"

"*sigh* Yes. They say anything to get rid of their rage."

Everyone outside the room looked at Mrs Cake, who looked back and asked:

"What?"

"I'm being serious! I'll kill you Cyclon!"

"They say that too."

Outside, they were leaning against the wall instinctively now. They knew Silver was very angry and indirectly violent, but this was new. However, there was ONE thing that changed all that. The cry of an infant.

(Silver narration transition)

Oh god. That was terrible! I NEVER want to deal with that again. It felt like at ruck going through me and then backing-up. The horror! I started to cry halfway through. Yes. I CRIED! I was in a mess, my coat and mane going in all directions just like those of Cyclon's. I was only soothed by the crying of something small. I...I can't explain it. The nurse went towards me with something wrapped in a white towel, as she stretched it towards me, the doctor said:

"You should be proud of yourself. I know it was hard, but it was certainly worth it. It's a-"

-CLIFFHANGER! U mad? Also, short chapter. Y u so mad?

Insomnia

"-unicorn filly!"

"A UNICORN?!" both Cyclon and I yelled. I winced at the constant pain.

As she was set on my chest, I unrolled the cloth to see a tiny little face staring back at me with amber colored eyes. I was expecting her to start crying and whining at seeing me, as pretty much every child ever did. Instead, she stared at me and smiled, only to chuckle a bit. I was taken aback, especially with the pains in both my heart and mind. What was happening? Cyclon stepped right next to my bed and stared at the little unicorn.

"Ah? She looks just like you, except for the eyes. Hey, she has the same eyes as my brother."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I'd have to say it's a good thing."

"Well, what do we call her. Quickly, I feel myself passing out."

" Okay okay...um...why not what I proposed earlier?"

"What, Amber Jewel? Well...I guess it fits here. Would you like that?" I asked this little filly in a very stupid manner. She just giggled. I actually felt the need to hug her closely as I fell asleep.

"Okay, guard. It's time for you to leave. They must both be watched over by the hospital for today and tomorrow." the doctor said.

Cyclon was getting both mad and nervous. "I...tch...what? That isn't right! I have to stay here with them! That's still my child after all."

"Get him out of here."

A familiar bulky "nurse" waltzed right in, causing everyone to shiver.

"Okay, hun. Time to get out."

"But-"

"I said 'out'. You'll be able to see them two tomorrow. Now git." he kicked Cyclon out of the room and closed the door then turned back to the doctor. "So doc, how'd it go?"

"Bizarrely."

"What do you mean."

"This was the quickest birth I ever saw, and it was...shall we say, relatively painless, but seeing as she never had a child before." the doctor inhaled through the gaps of his teeth.

"Yeah. It really was 'painless'. Need me to grab the little foal."

"Sure. Go ahead."

"Alrighty then." Greta stretched a bit then rolled his arms through those of Silver to scoop up Amber. "Here we-OOMPf!"

Greta fell down on the floor with a loud thump. The baby wouldn't move from Silver's arms.

"What the?" the nurse tried using all his strength to pull the baby out of Silver's clutch, but nothing happenned. "HNNNNGH! What the hay? Could you two idiots help me out?" he yelled at the doctor and the other nurse.

Even with their combined strength, the baby wouldn't move from the cradling hold of its mother. The three were starting to get annoyed at this situation.

"Alright then doctor. Stand back. I'm mad!" Greta angrily announced.

A little thing about Greta. He's already pretty strong, but if something like anger gets in the way, his strength doubles and his muscles bulge. Using this strange trait, he put his arms between the mother and child, and finally began to separate the two. As his arms began to strain and the sleeping filly was separated from her mother, Amber began to cry, and Silver began to glow a bright, angry blue. The color lashed out at the stallion who was blown across the room and through two walls. The doctor and nurse looked at the fresh new holes and looked back at Silver. She was moving and hugging the little filly closer to her as said filly hugged her mother and adorned a happy smile. The still conscious two just stared in disbelief and confusion.

"What...what just happened?"

"I don't know, doctor. Perhaps the little unicorn had one of those magical outbursts?"

"No." he replied as he shook his head. "I've studied these things. That was too powerful to be a magical outburst. Either way, I think it only happens if we try to separate those two."

"Then let's leave them together. It'll be easier to watch over them this way."

The doctor shrugged. "Eh...I guess you're right. Fine then. Let's leave these two be. They both had a hard day's work."

The two left the room while some unicorns came in to fix the walls. Derry could feel something growing in him as this little filly hung onto him with a sentiment he never thought would ever be directing towards his person, no matter what gender or species he was. Whatever the case, he actually felt happy...now that the painful ordeal was gone.

The morning was bright and beautiful, something rare, as well, was the appearance of blue sparks floating everywhere. Everybody left their homes to try and feel whatever these things were. Obviously, they weren't insects of any sort, but they were fuzzy by the touch. Pinkie giggled everytime one would fizzle when it touched her. Twilight, on the other hoof, was not at all pleased by this sight.

"Spike, have you ever seen anything like this?"

"Of course not. I was going to ask YOU the exact same question." Spike put his arm out, only to feel several fizzles as the sparks touched him. "Ahahahaha! It tickles! I don't think it's bad, Twilight."

"I don't know. Well, it's all starting to dissipate anyways. Hmm. Silver should be leaving the hospital soon, I'll go get Fluttershy."

I woke up, tired and aching all over. Leaning to my side, I tiredly retracted my head as I saw the little Amber Jewel right next to me with a face full of tears.

"Huh? What's wrong? You hungry?"

She nodded nervously.

"Then hang onto my back...hmmm...she can't understand me yet. I'll just try and keep her cupped in one arm while I make way for the cafeteria."

I did just thought, but I felt horrible. No matter. I was going to press on and get her that milk. If I were to become a better parent than bitch and oil, I'd have to work hard. Inching ever closer to the doors to get towards the stairs was certainly a bad idea. I would have to take the elevators. I clicked on a button and layed down against a wall while staring at Amber who was looking at me with her big eyes. I was surprised that there were no doctors or nurses around here. Suddenly, I heard that familiar ping sound, and as I struggled to get back up, I noticed that the elevator was full of doctors and nurses. Before I realized what was happening, they grabbed me and took me back to bed without touching Amber.

"But, she needs her milk."

"Right here. It's worm 'n tasteh." said a very strange doctor. "Now stay here while we get you yer energazers. Yer'll be oot in a few secands."

This time, two nurses decided to stay in front of the door to keep me from leaving. I just stared at this bottle and twisted it around.

"Okay...so how do I...no...not like that...uhhh..."

You put it diagonally into its mouth you dumbass. Then you let it grab the end of the bottle and suck the milk out. I swear, if I wasn't here, you would be drinking from the toilets and using bathtubs as orchestra rehearsing stages.

"Fuck you, brain."

Surprisingly, these tips were actually quite useful. Amber immediately grabbed the bottle and began to drink. I was still surprised that she didn't soil her diaper yet. I guess she's a tough one.

"Hohohaha."

I looked around after hearing that laughter. "Who's there?"

"Traveling across dimensions is fun and give great results and funny things to watch."

"Who is it? Show yourself! I won't let you take Amber.She's the only true bit of joy I've ever felt in my life."

"If that is the case, then accept this present."

A strange pink and blue pacifier fell onto the bed from nowhere. I was about to hit it, but something told me that it would help Amber to calm down more then other pacifiers. After she was done drinking, I gave it to her. She started to suck on it like it was made from candy. She even seemed to like it too.

"Glad she likes it. Have a nice life."

After that...nothing. Nothing was spoken again. There was really nothing left. Whatever that thing was, it was gone. Either way, it helped me with my little jewel (Oh god, what am I thinking now?!) and that's alright with me. Cyclon burst through the doors to give me a hug. I answered with a punch in his face. He seemed to have gotten used to it, as he still managed to hug me and Amber anyways.

"Okay. You can let go now."

"S-sorry. How is she?"

"She's doing fine."

"Where'd she get that pacifier?"

"A doctor gave it to us. She really likes it."

"Really? So, can they leave now?" Cyclon asked that weird doctor from earlier.

"Iyes. They cana go home. I vould advize you to watch your bloed pressur in the futr. Also, get ready for the woerst nights of yer lifes."

"Riiight. Can you stand without help?"

"N-not really."

"Okay, hold on. I'll grab Amber and you try and stand up."

I passed Cyclon the little filly, who didn't even make a sound. She seemed to recognize him right away. I felt disgusted by that. Either way, I managed to stand up and, with the help of Cyclon, I managed to get out of the hospital. I'm pretty sure Fluttershy and Twilight were waiting for us. Egh. I hope I'll be able to get some good sleep after this.

The first day be spent

It's been six years since I was turned into Silver. I've had much trouble getting used to the situation, and I've had even more trouble having the...ahem...special parts of a female as well as changing attitude. While I've become more open, I feel that there is something special about Jewel. She...I can't explain it. Whether it is because I actually gave birth to something or that she is the first person to actually love me and who wasn't my grand-father...I actually feel something inside me. Something I hadn't felt since I was little and I played with Grandpa. I actually love her with all my heart and being, but that doesn't mean that I'm changing. Oh no! In case any of you were wondering if I had done something to Cyclon...well...I broke two of his legs and busted three of his ribs, all while hearing Amber laugh in her own room. Oh, but I didn't do that to show aggression and possibly get sent to someplace I don't like. No. I camoflauged it as of our many sparring moments of Cyclon and I. That felt really good. I literally felt his bones crack...not one of the best things I've done to be honest.

Well, five years after Amber's birth and here I am. Cyclon and I had two months without slumber while she was still adjusting to this world. The baby cakes took a liking to her and she considered Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle as her aunts. Strange, really. It's like...she's making me a new family. I'll bet that fucking Sparkle is under this. She HAS had some strange talents demonstrated during one of her many magical outbursts, such as ejecting Cyclon into a wall, or actually twisting a stallion who hurt me in the street into a three-sixty. I still don't know how he survived. I think her best magical ability would be manipulation and levitation. To be honest, I'm jealous. It's like she had hands of her own. It took me a real long time to get used to these things here, and she gets a horn. Lucky girl. Of course, though, the great curse of all children eventually came: school. Today was her first day in school, and I heard that the cake twins were there, with some "Cheerilee". The hell kind of name is that? Sounds like cheerful wine or something. Whatever the case, she had her pack ready and I was going to drop her off, before getting a visit from Luna. I still didn't understand why she wanted to come now. Well, time to get going.

Tiny Amber was getting ready for school. The poor thing. She was actually "happy" about it. Yeah. Later on, she'll learn that school isn't fun at all and requires hard work, but for now, she was going to enjoy herself. Twilight helped me find the school in question, and it was a very western-style school. The mini-bell tower, the single classroom. Yeah. There were already a few kids there waiting in the recess area.

"It's okay, Jewel. You'll learn a bunch of cool things and maybe get some new friends."

"I dunno, mom. I don't feel like going today."

"Heh. I felt the same, but I still went. Don't worry though. The Cake twins are there."

Her eyes brightened up.

"Really? Well...okay then. Bye, Mom. Bye, Twilight."

She scurried all the way to the svhool before waving us goodbye. Once the door shut behind her, Twilight and I threw our fake smiles away and started to worry.

"Silver."

"Yeah?"

"I think she was affected by the Giga Sparkle. I know it's late to talk about that, but you need to know that she might become dangerous if she can't control that magic."

"Let's talk about it as we go home."

"Okay."

"Yes. I know. That Sparkle has been ticking me off for the past few years. It constantly possesed my body to take care of Amber while I was sleeping."

"Isn't that a good thing?" she laughed.

"I dunno. In a dream I had awhile back, I was revisted by my grand-father. He told me that the Giga Sparkle wasn't evil per-say, but she definately isn't disproving it. I've only noticed her do bad things to me lately."

"Like?"

"I prefer not to talk about it."

"Whatever. I think she was affected by the magic of Discord. When we entered your mind, she was calm and considered every possibility. Here, she's doing things that are entirely illogical."

"I know! I don't know what she has been doing to Amber, but I'll kill her if anything bad happens to her."

"She is still a part of you, so killing her means killing yourself."

I sighed and looked to the floor.

"It's true that she is a part of me (in more ways then one), but she has become increasingly unstable, and I will deal with myself if it means stopping her."

"But then-"

"I know. I won't let what happened last time with Discord happen again. Now, if you could help me, I'm awaiting Luna's arrival."

"Sure. I have a few things to tell her about the stars too."

It had already been three hours that we had both been waiting. Finally, Luna arrived at the door step with her creepy guards. She waved them off and the stood guard outside the door. She entered the living room and sat casually on one of the couches. Did I care? No. She's a friend, unlike Celestia. She had a very serious look on her face.

"Silver, you hadn't told me about this 'child' of yours."

I look at her "flabbergasted". I certainly started to laugh half-heartedly as I made gestures to how stupid that sounded.

"And it's only NOW that you learn about that? I thought you all knew about everything in Canterlot."

"Yes. Well, it would seem that any attempts to send the charts with the newborn ponies has been met a fiery end."

Twilight looked at me in shock.

"Have you been burning them?"

"What? How do you want me to burn those things? I don't even know WHY I would do that. Of all the people I know, YOU would have certainly been one of the first to learn about her." I shouted as I pointed towards Luna.

"Then how come everything is burning when it reaches Canterlot castle?"

"I dunno...brigands?"

"They wouldn't bother with such things."

"Princess Luna, if I may, you didn't come here just to speak about the lists, have you? And how did you learn about Silver's filly if the lists kept burning before reaching the castle?"

"Oh. About that...erm...Cyclon has revealed himself to be...a load in ego. He is extremely proud of her strange magical prowess and has been boasting about it ever since they have started."

I looked at Luna blandly and spoke with barely any tone at all.

"That was a year ago."

"Yes well..." she said while scratching the back of her head." The thing is, we know WHY she has such powers despite not being the element of magic."

"The Giga Sparkle?" Twilight and I spoke in unison.

"Yes. In-fact-Hold on...you knew?"

"Heh. Of course. It was kinda obvious."

"Then know that she could have a source of chaos magic in her."

"So? The Giga Sparkle also has that, and she's doing fine, except she's been going berserk lately..."

"Exactly!"

"What do you mean, princess?"

"Twilight, you of all ponies should know that, in the constellations, there is always a positioning that emits intense amounts of radiation and so forth."

"What does this have to do with anything?"

"Some scholars and I have done some research in the archives and have discovered that there is a celestial positioning that affected the Giga Sparkles for ten years every millenary. Whenever this happened, they would go crazy and nearly wipe eachother out. This is how the previous 'evil' Sparkles became extinct."

I felt my gut shrink and my throat tighten.

"Uh-oh."

"Exactly. I believe that it passed it's magical capabilities onto your child."

"Then what am I going to do?"

"If the child does indeed have the dna of a Giga Sparkle, then that means she can absorb magic on a whim and utilize it. Have you discovered here strong-point in magic casting?"

"With some observations, I noticed that she was very good in levitation and manipulation. Why would you ask?"

"Because, Twilight Sparkle, I wish to take her under my wing in tutelage."

I would've spit out whatever I was drinking if I had, but, instead, I choked on my spit. Twilight rushed over to me and started hitting me on the back.

"W-what do you mean? You mean that I'm going to have a fellow student to work with?" Twilight's eyes started to gleem with joy.

"Why would you? She isn't adept at that sort of stuff. Not like Twilight at least." I "threw" my hoof as I looked in the opposite direction of the unicorn.

"Not only will we be able to teach her how to control her magic, but we are also adept at levitation and manipulation, as Twilight Sparkle and her friends have observed in the past during my...nightmare."

"Uh-huh."

"The most important part is that, at Canterlot, we will be able to keep a close watch on her."

"But I-"

I was interrupted by the sounds of an enormous explosion rocking Ponyville, making all three of us ran out of the door. We had barely gotten out that we saw the two guards tossed away into a pile of crates. Looking in the opposite direction, we saw a gigantic tarantula thing.

"*gasp* A Yuilo!" Twilight screamed.

"A what now?"

"Yuilo's are gigantic arachnids that prey in dark areas, meaning that they generally come out at night. They have a strong resistance to any forms of magic. What is it doing out at this hour?"

That beast continued to trample and destroy everything. I suddenly heard cries of aid. I felt my soul spin and tear. What was this horrible feeling? I put a hoof to my chest and twisted in agony. Luna tried to come to my aid.

"Are you alright? What is wrong?"

"Amber Jewel!" I let out "She's on that thing!"

"WHAT?!" Twilight and Luna shouted.

I ran forward towards the giant creature, fury filling my entire entity. I felt capable crushing the world beneath my boot...if I wore any. I ran up to that giant arachnid and yelled to get its attention. It simply looked at me and roared. I slapped that fucker on the face.

"SHUT UP! C'mere Amber. I'm here."

That little ball of fuzz slid off its back, sniffling and having those weird hiccups that kids usually have when they cry.

"What happened? How did you get on it?"

"Well. *sniff* I thought it wanted *hic* to be friends. *hic* So I went on its back. *sniff* Then it ran all the way here and started to destroy everything."

"Don't worry. I won't let anything bad happen to you." I said as I smiled and hugged her.

I was torn out of my smile as I heard creaking. Twilight yelled out for me to watch out. I looked up to see that the tarantula was getting ready to "back-leg" us. I put my back to it and covered Amber as best as I could while I prepared for the impact. I felt it hit me, causing us both to fly off into a wall, where I certainly passed out for a few seconds. Amber continued to cry as she shook me with her little hooves and called out for me.

"Mom? Wake up mom. C'mon. You aren't hurt? Mom?" My head tilted to the side. "Mom? NO! MOM?!"

Her horn began to glow a mixture of blue and amber as she turned to the Yuilo, tears streaking on her face.

"You hurt my mommy! You're a meanie!" She cried out as her horn's magic engulfed the spider and started to twist and bend the arachnid at its whim.

Everyone just stared as she moved her head in every angle to bend and twist the thing. It was crying out in pain, and, finally, it was ejected far away, back into the forest from whence it came. Amber's horn died down and she slumped to the ground while panting, leaving everyone there to have their jaws dropped collectively. When I came back to, I saw the appearance of everything, and I ran back up to Amber.

"Jewel, you okay?"

"Huh?" she looked at me with glistening, watery eyes that seemed filled with joy once I appeared. "Mommy! I thought you were-"

"Nope. NEVER think such things. I'm very sturdy, after all."

"Heheh."

"Now then, what were you doing in Everfree?"

"Well-" she sniffled as she wiped her nose. "-Miss Cheerilee took us on an excursion to the farms, and then I saw those glowing orbs and followed them. You aren't going to ground me...are you?"

"Hmmm...no. I think you've had enough lessons as it were. That, and with what I've just noticed, I think you'll want to meet Luna."

"You mean THE Princess Luna?"

"Yes, child. I am here."

Amber turned around and stared at the majestic alicorn of the night. She straightened herself out and forced to stop crying, although a sniff still came out every now and then. Luna adorned a heart-warming smile, but Amber saw through it and didn't exactly like what Luna was certainly thinking.

The psychotic visit

We were all back inside my house, with Amber lying down next to me, her face still full of tears. Luna was sipping some water that I passed her, but her eyes were concentrated on my little filly.

"So, do we have a deal?"

"I don't know. What exactly ARE you going to do to her? I don't hate you, Luna, but a certain incident that happened quite awhile ago prevents me from trusting you completely."

"Yes. Well, like I told you, she will be getting teachings in magic every two days, at night. This will allow her to have proper school education and learn about friends. However, you must know that she will not sleep at all during the nights where I will teach her about magic. My sister and I are there, so if anything happens, we will be able to prevent it."

"While it's true that you are very powerful, I don't trust Celestia." I frowned and crossed my arms.

"What do you mean you don't trust Princess Celestia?"

"I won't say it, but when I was captured by Cyclon in his 'psychotic mode', well, let's just say that things didn't turn out well."

"Riiiight."

"Anyways, what do you think, Jewel?"

She looked at me with those big, watery eyes. I swear, she looked as adorable as Applebloom did when she was still tiny.

"I dunno. What kind of things will I be able to do?" she asked Luna.

The moon princess put a hoof to her chin and smiled.

"You will learn how to levitate, meaning that you'll be able to lift things with just your mind, or even float a bit yourself. You will also learn how to manipulate objects, allowing you to change them or control them."

"Cooool! Will I be able to turn a rock into Silver? Will I be able to levitate a house?"

"That's a bit too much for you, but, eventually, you will."

"Wooow. Can I, mom? Can I?"

"Only if Luna promises me that Celestia doesn't approach you malevolently."

"Malyvoly? What does that mean?"

"It means with bad intentions, meaning that she will be mean."

"Huh? Why would she do that?"

"No! She won't be mean. Tell you what. I'll come with you to Canterlot until you get used to it there. What do you say?"

"Thanks aunt Twilight!" Amber bounced around joyfully while Twilight just smiled.

" 'Aunt' Twilight?" Luna smirked.

"Eheheh."

The sound of metal clanking against the exterior walls turned everybody's attention towards the door entrance, that opened slowy with an insignificant creeking noise. Cyclon was at the entrance, wiping some specks off his armor.

"Why were Princess Luna's guards blocking me access to my own house?"

"DADDY!" Amber shouted as she ran towards Cyclon to hug him.

"Hey Amber. Princess Luna? What are you doing here? I heard there was a commotion at Ponyville so I rushed as fast as I could."

Cyclon walked forward and got close to me, allowing for me to perform ample neck strikes. We explained everything to him, and he simply slumped onto the floor with his jaw open and his head releasing beads of sweat.

"This is alot to take in. I don't know how to react to this?"

"You still work at Canterlot castle, so you will be able to watch her anyways."

"True. Did Amber accept?"

"Yes! I wanna learn how to magic!"

"You mean how to DO magic? Fine. We'll let her become your student, Luna, but make sure you watch me as well. I don't think it will appreciate the separation at night."

"Understood, Silver. I will be waiting for little Amber's appearance tomorrown night. I'll be leaving now. I have to awaken my guards." she threw an angry stare at Cyclon, who shrunk almost immediately.

Twilight gave us a farewell, and quickly, the night came. We were just finishing up dinner.

"Well, you seem to be getting better at cooking, Cyclon."

"Yeah?"

"Yes. What do you think, Jewel?"

"It was...great?"

"You can tell your true thoughts about my cooking, sweetie."

"Oh...umm...it wasn't too great. Sorry, daddy."

"As long as I get better."

"Welp, it's time for you to go to bed then."

"But I'm not tired."

"Sorry, but school requires early waking up. Go take a bath, brush your teeth, and I'll go tuck you in bed."

She frowned, but did as told. I could still feel that thing growing inside me, but I didn't recognize the feeling. I wonder if it wasn't Silver going nuts. Cyclon and I put the dishes in the sink, and he couldn't help but continue staring at me.

"What?"

"You look radiant today."

"Huh?" I instinctively blushed. "Shut up."

"I'm serious. You've been getting shinier everyday. Do you do something to your mane and coat that I don't know about?"

"No."

"Then maybe it's because you've been smiling a bit more since Amber came into your life."

I dropped the dishes into the sink and thought about this. I've always been considered "dark" due to my demeanor and the aura I would emit that would creep people out. I wonder if I really was changing because of her. That bastard kept complimenting me, but we soon returned to bed. I needed to sleep early too, I could feel something bad was stirring up.

I was in the dream realm again, but this time, I was concious of my surroundings. The only problem was the way everything looked. It was twisted and varying between purple, white, and black. In the middle of all that was floating the real Silver. She didn't look too good. Her mane was spurting in all directions, and she had a psychotic look on her face. Almost a grin so wide that it was reaching her eyes, of which the pupils had shrunk to a pea. The worst part is that she kept twitching.

"Derry! So GOOD to see you!" She said as she floated next to me.

"What the hell happened to you?"

"Niyerherher. I dunno. I felt something free my mind. I'm revitalized!" she was smiling and looking around frantically for something, but then she pun around and looked at me angrily. "But YOU! You are going to sepparate Amber from me?! How DARE you!"

She slapped me hard. I could actually feel it. Then, that crazy bitch began to spin around me with her ocasional twitching.

"She's mine! MINE! I forged her and formed her and gave her those amber eyes that you wanted. She's MY creation! You have no right over her. It's my magic that allowed both you and Cyclon to fornicate and have a child."

"You BITCH! I'll kill you!"

"Come at me! Kill yourself!"

I charged at that now psychotic being and swiped at her. She took the hit but laughed and blasted me. I felt the harsh burn of her magic break my bones and cripple me. She walked over me with her crazy smile and lift a hoof.

"O-one hit?"

"I am the true Silver! This is MY body now. I'll get rid of you, and Amber will be all mine!"

She thrust her hoof down with no hesitation, so I closed my eyes. This was the SECOND time I was about to be killed like this, but, this time, the true Silver won't be there to help me.

*chingchingchingchingching*

I heard some sort of metal chains coming out of nowhere.

*chingchingCLONK*

"HeY! What the...lemme go! RAAAAGH!"

"No. You've gone too far now, Silver. It would seem that the astral bodies have rendered you insane."

That was a familiar voice. I opened my eyes to see that everything had resolidified into the typical blackness of before. Silver was floating in the air, attached by chains while her head was locked in place by some strange metallic contraption. Behind her was floating giant pink swirly eyes with a large smile and my grandpa was sterning while looking at Silver struggle and move. Grandfather turned around to look at me.

"Ah! Derry. It's good to see you again. I can also see that my granddaughter is doing well too. Hmm. That does sound weird."

"What are you doing here? Who is that?"

"Him? He guided me here. He didn't tell me his name, but he did say that he had been watching since an incident before."

"How-"

"No need. I'm just here to stop Silver. He'll tell you the rest. Take good care of your daughter." he said before disappearing in a glowing light.

I looked up at the eyes that were staring at me.

"So? What do you want now?"

"Nothing important. I saw what was happening, so I intervened. Remember that pacifier I gave you?"

"Yeah?"

" Well, now it's a necklace. Wear it, and it should keep our friend here tight within the chains of your mind."

He swirled around her, supposedly causing her to go even more insane and placing a metallic muzzle on her. She looked absolutuely furious.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Wake up!"

I got up suddenly and instinctively ran to the bathroom. That is where we put the pacifiers. I fumbled through it to see that the blue and pink thing had indeed become a weird necklace similar to Celestia and Luna's.

"Silver? What's wrong?" Cyclon called out for me.

"N-nothing. I just needed to use the restroom really badly."

"Oh. Ok then."

I just put the thing on and looked at myself in the mirror. It was just randomly pink and blue, while the middle jewel showed a swirl. I was about to get out that I saw a strange face in the mirror. It was those swirly eyes and the smile in place of my own eyes and mouth.

"A word of caution. She can still use her magic, but she can't control your body. Be sure to control it yourself. Tata!"

His eyes and face gradually faded away before completely disappearing. I just stared at my reflection with a "wtf?" face.

"Who is that guy?"

The drewcifier

The next night had come by rather quickly. To make sure that Amber would stay awake during the night, I had to go tell Cheerilee about her night lessons, so Jewel could sleep longer than necessary. Nothing necessarily interesting happened, but yeesh, Luna's carriage is scary as fuck. It was like looking at Dracula's henchmen and his own carriage. Atleast Amber was surprised and bounced about the carriage until Twilight came by. She smiled and gave us reassurance that she would watch over Amber for us. I trust her, so I know that she'll do what's right. A wave goodbye and Amber was off to Luna's night class.

The castle seemed very creepy at night. Most of the guards were Luna's, and the chill of the night-sky, followed by the clean and empty light of the moon really set the atmosphere that the place seemed abandoned. Amber hopped and bounced everywhere as it was her first time seeing this demonstration of pony architecture. The yards were all perfectly cut, and the bushes were perfectly trimmed. In front of the castle's main entrance awaited Luna, her mane sparkling in the night like the many stars that she created. A greeting was done, and he little filly got to see the interior of the castle. Frames and pictures here, beautiful carvings into the walls there. Not an inch of the castle was non-decorated. Finally, the group reached the traning area for unicorns. This place was gigantic, but mostly empty. It was pretty much nothing but white in color, and the windows were so high they gave Amber neck pains just by trying to look upwards.There were several stones of various and different clothes. What purpose would they serve?
Luna stepped forward and pushed a small stone towards Amber, who just stared at it, then back at Luna in confusion.

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

"I am simply testing you. I wish to see how much control you have over your magic. I won't say anything right now, so try and use your horn to lift this rock, even if it is an insignificant distance from the ground."

"O...kay."

Twilight simply watched asthe little filly did just like her when she was a foal. The little unicorn tried a variety of movements and combos to use her horn, but to no avail.

"Awww. It doesn't work." she whined as she slumped onto the floor with he rears flopping down.

"Haha! Don't worry Amber. I had the same troubles when I started."

"Yes. No unicorn can use his or her magic instantly. It requires concentration and studying. I believe that you will be able to help her with her studying, Twilight Sparkle?" Lunaasked with a haughty tone.

"Of course!"

"Good. Now then, just to show you what you will be capable of."

Luna walked towards a massive boulder in the room. It was the height of three Celestias. Luna cracked her neck, an her horn began to glow. Much to the surprise of Amber, the object began to move about, as if animated by its own life, only to be gently placed back onto the ground.

"And with these cloths, being able to manipulate their composition allows you to change everything about them, but it is quite hard and dangerous. Only do it when Twilight Sparkle, myself, or Celestia are around."

"Okay. So, how do I use my horn?"

"Well, first things first." Twilight said while reaching for Amber's horn. "This is your horn. Think of it as a second leg or a second brain. It is through here that you can channel your magic. If you want to use it properly, try using your imagination. Think about what you want you do, and project that in front of you on the area or object you want to affect.

"Okay. I'll try again."

It took a short while, but Amber's horn began to glow faintly, and the tiny rock began to lift itself lightly into the air, before Amber let out a big exhale and let the rock drop to the floor. She was gasping for air.

"That was impressive. Not many beginners have been able to do levitation that fast. This truly is part of your magical talents. A slight problem, however. Your breathing."

"What...about it?"

"To have a proper mana flow, you must breathe normally, otherwise, the magic will stop getting out and will 'clog' up your horn, so to speak."

"True. I had this problem at first. I was just trying to push out as much magic as possible."

"Well then, let us continue."

Four hours later, it was already time to go. Surpriingly, Amber had made significant progress...in controlling her magical flow. She bid Luna a goodbye and yawned as she returned to the carriage. Twilight lift her up with her own magic an placed her on a seat, only to sit down next to the filly herself. The two creepy Night guards took off with a whinny that sounded like a muffled dragon's roar, and disappeared soon after from Canterlot's sky. Quietly after, the carriage set down gently upon the ground in front of Ambers house. Twilight had placed the fly on her back. The little unicorn had fallen sound asleep with a smile on her face. As Twilight approached the door with her foreleg, Amber suddenly hopped up and yelled :"DADDY!" in a panicked tone. The two guards didn't take off jus to be sure, and approached the door.

It looked like a war had occured. Furniture was filpped, vases andglass were broken into pieces and strewn about the floor, and Amber was running around yelling for her mom and dad. The guards hopped in, pushin Twilight aside and started to scan the area without. Twilight Sparkle always knew that there was something suspicious about these guards, but she could never put her hoof on it.

"Here." One of the guards said with a very deep voice. He kicked the debris off to reveal a knocked out Cyclon.

"Oh no." Twilight worried. "How are we going to knock him out of his unconciousness."

"Hm. That sounded redundant."

"Quite. Knock him out of being knocked out."

"Ridiculous."

"Idiotic."

"Laughable."

"Mockable."

"Will you two shut up! I think you should wake him up so that Amber doesn't hurt herself while trying to reach him."

"Will do."

Instead of something gentle, the first guard lift Cyclon up while the second put his forehooves on the stallion's neck, before moving in a way that a loud crack resonated throughout the house. Cyclon was then dropped limply on the floor as he woke up immediately. Rubbing the back of his head, the captain wondered what had happened, until Amber jumped on his chest and started to cry.

"Amber? Twilight? What happened?"

"We were going to ask you that, sir."

"Wait...now I remember...Silver and I were waiting for Amber to come back, and I left to the bathroom. When I came back, she was being gripped by some strange blobby creature with colorful stripes on it."

"Colorful...Did Silver look entranced by it?"

"Y-yeah. She was giggling too."

"Oh no." Twilight and the two night guards said together.

"I believe that you met a Drewcifier."

"Foul beings."

"They take on the form of the 'perfect being' for you.

"Then they drag you somewhere until your love for them reaches its absolute."

"They use...methods to speed it up."

"Then they devour the pony's soul."

"It would be best."

"If we left at once."

"The traces here lead nowhere."

"We have no leads." The two guards said succesively.

"Wait...I see mommy." Amber said coldly.

The little filly's eyes had begun to glow a bright blue. A certain blue that both Twilight and Cyclon had grown to know quite well. She walked out of the house, closely followed by the four other ponies. Walking down the twilight of the sky, Amber's eyes grew brighter and brighter. They finally stopped in front of an old, partially rotten out house near the edge of Everfree forest. The guards kicked down the door of ths two-story house and went in. There was nothing but a dark catacomb. Yet, the little filly went upstairs and continued to stare blankly into nothingess. Whe he four others reached upstairs, they caught a glimpse of the blob for two seconds before it turned into the perfect image for the other four grown-up ponies. The Drewcifier was "cutie-talking" Silver who seemed completely out of her sense. When the creature caught sigh of the other four, it laughed, until it saw Amber with her glowing eyes and no apparent look of blind love. It moved away from Silver who was lying down on a bed.

"Don't go, Cyclon. We still have so much to say."

"I'll be with you in a sec, honey. I just have to deal with some troubles."

The Blob had purple and green stripes running down its body. It only possesed three limbs that seemed more like extensions of the body which ended in chubby grasps. Its yellow eyes were also placed bizarrely. There was one near its "bottom" that was looking directly at Amber while the other was on one of its limbs.

"Mhmm. Quite peculiar. This is the first time that anything has managed to resist a Drewcifier. Hmhm. I am, what you would call, a mind collector. I take all the energies from brain activity I can and trade them for more power instead of just devouring them like my brethren. However, you cannot be hypnotized. Either you leave now or I will be forced to...dispose of you. Your friends here shall make fine zombie slaves."

"That's my mom and dad you're messing with. Leave them alone!" Amber took up a defensive position, but was mocked by the Drewcifier.

"Hahahaha." It's voice sounded like an evil spirit that lowered with every syllable. "Foolish mortal. You cannot hope to best me. Many before have tried, and none have succeeded. They all became mindless husks."

Amber tried to concentrate on her magic, and managed to lift a little broken lamp near the bed Silver was on, and tossed it at the drewcifier, who looked bored with the effort and swiped the lamp away.

"Hmph. Come here." The long arms of the blob grabbed hold of Amber and began to crush her neck while she started to gasp for air and hit the arms of the creature.

"m....."

"What's that dear? I can't har you. YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP!" the creature yelled while shaking Jewel violently.

"m..."

"Tsktsk. You have to clear that throat of yours. Some crushing should break off that thing in your throat. HAHAHA!"

"m....MOMMY!"

Silver suddenly snapped of her hypnotizing and caught glimpse of the blob. Her fury was matchable only by a Vesuvius Vulcan. She quietly walked behind the blob as he continued to choke Amber. She poked him.

"Hold on dear. I'm dealing with something."

"Who you callin' 'dear', bitch?"

"Wha-"

The blob nearly, if one could say, "shat brix" just by looking at the cold and murderous stare of Silver. The other four snapped out of their hypnotization and caught glimpse of the face Silver was giving off.

"Uh-oh. Amber, come over here."

The little filly hurriedly scurried up back to her father after the blob dropped her. Cyclon began to massage her neck with his wings.

"We will help her."

"It is our duty."

"No. Get out of the house. NOW!"

"But why? We HAVE to help her." Twilight insisted.

"Believe me. When she has that stare, anything who caused it will be in the worst pain it ever felt."

When the door slammed shut, Silver cracked her neck as the drewcifier hugged a wall in fear.

"Now then. You were choking my daughter, correct? I'll teach you how to induce proper pain."

"AAAAAAAH!"

Outside of the house, the five could hear a horrible racket followed by strang organic noise. Suddenly, the drewcifier was slammed against a window and pulled back. An hour later (Yes. An HOUR), she finally left the house.

(Silver narration transition)

...

"You okay, Silver?" Cyclon asked.

"Where's Jewel?"

"I'm here."

"C'mer you."

I grabbed her as best I could and hugged that little thing hard.

"I was worried."

"You are frightening."

"We will be returning to the castle."

"Everything seems in order here."

"Goodbye." the two guards said.

"Uhhh...Silver...you got some green stuff on you."

"Hm? So I do."

"What did you do to that thing?" Cyclon asked.

"I tore it apart."

"..."

"I'm kidding. It was more violent than that. Let's just go home. I need a bath."

"Okayyy. Well then, whileI was hypnotized by that thing, I heard you speak Cyclon's name." Twilight smirked.

"S-so?"

"Those things are supposed to bring out your perfect image of that 'special somepony'."

I begin to blush hard.

"That doesn't mean anything."

"Awww. You really DO love me!" Cyclon spewed out happily. "Now how 'bout a kiss?" he leaned forward with a smile.

I was disgusted, but Amber jumped on my back and pushed my head towards his lips. She had gotten me, that trickster. After that...session...I pulled back. Instead of punching him, I just felt embarassed and walked quickly back homewhile avoiding his gaze. I think Amber is actually making me attracted to Cyclon...not that...never mind.

Y U SO MAD?

Destroying everything with magic

The days went by after that incident, and Silver would frequently go back to that abandoned house to deal with the blob. It woud seem that it didn't learn its lesson, so it would constantly kidnap more and more ponies and try to drain their brains. She would always come back covered in more green goo. Besides that, Silver was unintentionally getting closer to Cyclon. There was something about Amber that caused Derry's new mind to start morphing. He was still him, but he was becoming more female as the days passed. He didn't, however, become kinder. No. He woud beat up Cyclon just the same. As for Amber, she began to show some real progress with levitation that impressed Luna, who started to snuff in Celestia's face that she was a better teacher. In fact, it was mostly thanks to Twilight teaching Amber during the nights that she didn't have to go to Luna. The fervent studying of the lavender unicorn in maic control had awarded her with deep knowledge and insight on the subject. However, tonight, Amber was going to learn how to manipulate the composition of any material.

Following the same trail, the little unicorn found herself in the same giant chamber as the many times before. Luna was waiting there, and Twilight was going to give her usual tips. The same cloths as before were laying down on the ground. They were varied in coloration, size, and material.

"Now then, I will teach you how to manipulate materials, and then we can go on to organic compositions after you are sufficiently trained."

"Okay." Amber was bouncing up and down joyfully.

"Now look closely, I will turn this red cloth into a red cloud and back into its original form."

Luna's horn glew lightly as the cloth lift itself into the air and started to twist and expand before becoming a floating red cloud moving gently about. Jewel used her own magic to pull it towards her, and tried to jump onto it, but flopped painfully onto the ground.

"Ow."

"Hmhm. You aren't a pegasus, my dear. There is a spell to allow unicorns and earth ponies to walk upon them, but it is not now that you will be able to do it."

"Okay. So...how does this work?"

"You have to feel the inner composition of the object you are trying to change. Feel its fabric and the energy it holds. Just think that it's clay and that you are modeling it with your magic."

"That still doesn't help much." Amber frowned and looked at Twilight.

"I can't help you here, Amber. There's no simpler way to put it. I'm already astonished as to how you're linked to such complex magic to begin with."

"Well...should I try and turn it into a cloud like you?" Jewel asked Luna.

"Sure. Go ahead. Try the easiest thing you can think of, and wrap your magic around the object. Then try and mold it."

The blue glow of Amber's magic strenuously extended itself to wrap around the cloth that slowly levitated into the air. It began to become cotton-like, much to the pleasure of Luna.

"Good. Now try and make it ENTIRELY cloudy."

The cloth finally morphed into a cloud, albeit a tiny one. However, before Luna could congratulate the little unicorn, the giga sparkles magic within her went on the fritz and turned the cloud into some type of monster.

"Oh no. She's losing control of her magic like I did." Twilight exclaimed.

The red cloud just had a single eye and big teeth, but Luna barely flinched. However, before she could cancel the spell, the cloud grabbed Amber with an extension of its body and flew away through the castle.

"What the? GET IT!" Luna shouted.

"GUARDS! MY STUDENT HAS BEEN PONYNAPPED BY A RED CLOUD MONSTER! APPREHEND THIS VILE SUBJECT AT ONCE!"

Luna's Royal Canterlot voice was so loud that it pierced through the windows and closed doors, and the sounds of hooves stomping and wings flapping quickly crawled across every inch of the castle.

"Princess, are you sure this is necessary? I mean, it didn't seem harmful. It just seemed to want to play, if my judgement is correct."

"Twilight Sparkle, those creatures are devoid of any mind when they are created by magic. Many golems throughout Equestria and beyond aren't exactly kind, if you comprehend my speaking."

"I do, but that thing didn't seem harmful at all. It's just a cloud. It may have 'teeth', but they were also cloud made. Besides, those kinds of creatures created from outburts are unstable. It'll turn back to normal in a few minutes."

"Perhaps." Luna walked over to one of the bookcases still in the room and took a book out. "Heheh."

"What is it?"

"Nothing important. Just the basics of arcane magic."

"You mean those dangerous acts of magic that only the wisest and most powerful should ever use? And even then, they shouldn't use it anyways?"

"Exactly."

"Can I read it?"

"You will have to ask your own instructor, Twilight Sparkle. These are not things that anypony should try."

"Fine."

A few minutes later, one of the guards came back, utterly spent, with Amber on his back

"*huff* *huff* I...caught her...*huff*...your majesty."

"Thank you, guard. You may depart now."

The guard bowed down and left immediately, leaving Amber looking sadly at the cloth.

"What is wrong?" Luna asked.

"He was playing fun games with me. Now he's just a cloth again."

Luna put a hoof on her shoulder.

"It is alright. It wasn't real anyways. Do you want to return to your home now or would you like to train a bit longer?"

"Umm...train a bit longer."

"Excellent!" Luna shouted gleefully after slamming her two forehooves together.

"Well then. Let us continue with magic control."

(Silver narration transition)

It was getting late, and I was worried that, this time, something might have happened to Amber. I mean, after all, she's always getting into trouble, what with the giga sparkle's magic in here, and that damn astro-whatachamacallit drivin' her insane. Surprisingly enough, as I was hoping or, the carriage arrived, and on the door, Amber came a knockin'. opened it and hugged her tightly.

"Mom. Stop it. I've only been gone for four hours."

"I know. But I was worried. I didn't want something bad to happen to you again like before."

"Nothing will happen to her. She's the daughter of a captain of the royal guard, and the daughter of somepony fierce and violent."

"Violent?! I'll show YOU violent!"

"Come at me then, tiny."

While the two parents faught, Amber took a bath and went to bed, certain that tomorrow would bring great news and 'grat' events.

Birthday party

Well. Today was Amber's birthday. I didn't want to, but I had my hands (fuck da hooves!) tied here I asked Pinkie Pie to help with everything, and I invited the Cake twins and, well, pretty much everyone at Ponyville. The cutiemark crusaders had disbanded quite some time ago, but they stayed together anyways. Why? Because they were great friends! Applebloom was much taller now, but still had her trademark bow the size of Mount Rushmore in her mane. Her cutie mark was a staff with an apple behind it. She was great for leadership and tking care of things in her own way. Scootaloo's cutie markactally ended up being a scooter. It was to indicate her TOTALLY EXTREME STUNTING, DUUUUUUDE! And finally, Sweetie Belle's looked like a crystal. Ever heard of someone's voice being clear as crystal? Well, she had a great singing voice, an this was reflected by her performances in schools, or so I've heard from Rarity.

This morning, Amber was sleeping late. We were going to celebrate it on a saturday, instead of friday. Cyclon had already gotten all the presents andgave them to Pinkie Pie so that she coud hide them. She's pretty good at doing that for some weird reason. Applejack was going to prepare a rodeo style game, while Rarity was working on a new dress and style for her. Rainbow Dash? She was going to do a bunch of acrobatic moves moves that, by her definition, are too leet for you. Fluttershy? She ddn't want to come, but Rarity was forcing her to anyways. I already know what Spike and Twilight have prepared. Well, I know atleast what Twilight has prepared.

I walked up to Amber's bed with a bucket of water held between my forelegs and made sure not to make a single sound.

"Muahahaha! The watering is upon you!"

After that massive explosion of cold water, Ambe woke up drenched and angry.

"Mooom! I'm gonna get you for this!"

"You'll have to catch me first."

And thus, the chasing game started. However, I slammed the door behind me the secnd Amber got there and hid behind a nearby barrel by rolling towards it. She came out, drenched and angry, until she saw the people waiting for her.

"Happy birthday, Amber!" they all yelled.

"Wha-"

"Oh, sweety! What happened to you? You look dreadful. Here, let me fix you up." Rarity proudly said.

"What's all this?" Amber strained to say while she was being brushed and dried by Rarity's magic.

"This is your birthday party!" Pinkie shouted as she blew those weird rolling whistles. "Let's party!"

"YEAH!" everybody screamed in synchronisation.

Cyclon and I popped out of our hiding spot and tapped her lightly on the shoulder.

"Huh? Mom? Dad? You planned this?"

"Durr." I said while spinning my eyes. "Pinkie organized all this. Although I'm not sure how she got that mini roller-coaster...or that cannon..."

There were several things, like a bouncing castle and that weird game where you have to pull yourself as far as you can before you get pulled back by the cable attached to your back. The only thing bothering me is how the hell Pinie got those two things. I mean, the cannon is meant to fire you all the way to the cushion all the way over there, but still. How did they even get over here?

"Well, anyways, how about we all have fun before you start to eat your cake and open your presents?"

"Sure!" Amber's voice cracked as she hugged me. "How about we go on the cannon first?"

Cyclon and I became pale.

"A-are you sure? I may be a captain of the royal guard, but being fired out of a cannon is a bit mu-"

"Shut up and get in there!" I shouted as I picked Cyclon up ad threw him in the cannon. Only Amber noticed that the necklace that swirly eyed freak gave me glew faintly during that moment. "Come on, Jewel. Let's go in."

"Ok. Hold on. Let me try and levitate you in there. Hrngh."

She was trying hard, but it was still a bit much, while she had her eyes closed and attempted better breathing, Twilight spoted her and helped me up, being careful as to not alert Jewel to her prescence.

"You did it!" I joyfully shouted.

"Yay!"

"But how are you going to get in now?"

"I'll help her up." Pound Cake shouted.

He put her on his back and difficultly fluttered up to the cannon. Flying HAD been his specialty, after hearing what Pinkie had to deal with when he was still a baby. All three of us put on our helmets that were tossed to us by the care-taker of this ride.

"Hey, Cylon. Your helmet on?"

"Yes. Why? *clonk* OW! You hit me on the head!"

"Nope. On the helmet." I said proudly while observing my hoof.

"I've got a better idea. I can combo."

"Oh yeah? How? *clonk* *ding* AGH! You bastard! C'mere."

We started to wrestle eachother, much to the amusement of Amber, only to hear the caretaker speak outloud.

"Okay lovebirds. That's enough hugging and smooching. I'm firing in five."

"Alright. Get ready now." Cyclon said as he hugged us closer to him.

"Zero!"

The deafening crack of the cannon was followed by us screaming our luns out. Jewel and I were having fun, but Cyclon was scared shitless. It was hilarious to see. Ateast we got to see the entire town from above, along wth the Everfree forest and the Canterlot city. Hell, we managed to scrape the bottom of Cloudsdale before we began to fall down. The cushion was further away, in the prairy. It was fun, and we landed down with a huge *thump* on the ground and laughing while Cyclon, crawled off the cushion. Three other ponies were there to greet us and help us out. I laughed along and noticed something close by, so Ideparted from the group and walked up to it. It was the pond from before. That same pond that showed me my new body. It was..serene, so I simply sat down and stared at it.

"Silver?" Cyclon asked.

"..."

"Are you alright? What's with the pond?"

"Nothing. It just reminds me of...something."

"You okay?"

"Yeah."

Cyclon put his hoof on my back as I continued to look at the liquified crystal. I just felt empty staring at it. It was supposed to remind of my past life. The good times I had. Everything that I left behind. Yet, I left nothing behind, and I had no good times. It was so contradictory to my mind that I couldn't bare myself to thing. It was just the white emptiness that I had gone through when I came here. Nothing.

Amber helped to snap out of the trance, and convinced us to do more of the rides. I agreed, and the unicorn that tended to us after the ride teleported us back. Everything was fun, and I even managed to challenge Cyclon to a pulling contest on that pulling thing. We tied, but we still managed to have a ighting contest. Near the middle of the party, Luna has come with her own present wrapped in a black, starry paper. I asked her why she came, and she had told me that she wanted to tend to he very first student, despite her sister's protests. I obviously congratulated her on this, and she got to experience these rides that she never saw before. Like Cyclon, she panicked after being shot out of a cannon, but I challenged her to a duel as well, just to see how good she was. She beat me without breaking a sweat. I need to learn from her.

Anyways, it was time to open the presents. Amber had gotten several toys and other things from her friends, but it was time for me, Twilight's, and Luna's presents.

"What is it?" she asked as she opened the present from me and Cyclon.

The present looked like the clothing of a mage. It had the typical silver shoes with the golden lining, the black shirt that covered the body with a type of silver coat with golden lining as well. It wa made in a way that te stars that appeared on it would become more visible while going towards the rear. It was like the cycle between night and day. Rarity's eyes widened at the planning and well thought out decorations.

"Wow. This looks exquisite and masterful. Who made it?"

"Motel did." Cyclon answered with a nervous smile.

"What?" Rarity looked shocked.

"Well, yeah. We wanted to give her something special, so we sked him instead of you, seeing as you were already making a dress."

"Well...I can't complain. It IS gorgeous, but not as goregeous as my dresses."

"Come Rarity. Don't be a sore loser. Ya can't say that that dress thar ain't as pretty as yers." Applejack interjected.

"Hmph. Well, you wouldn't know, would you?"

"An' what's that supposed ta mean?"

"Before you two idiots get in a fight about your opposite perseonalties, can we continue with this?" I shouted.

"Oh. Heheheh. Sorry." AJ apologized, but Rarity simply pouted and looked away.

"Okay then. How about you open my present?" Twilight asked.

"Okay."

My little Jewel took a bland purple box and tore it open to show a book about magical manipulation and circulation, causing Spike to facepalm...or should that be claw? Either way, instead of seeing her fake joy, she smiled widely and hugged it.

"Thank you, Twilight. I'll make sure to read this every night."

"Your welcome, Amber. See, Spike. Atleast SOMEPONY reads my books."

Spike mumled something while he had his arms crossd and looked mad.

"And finally, Luna's present." I said as I moved it towards Jewel.

Luna looked as nervous as a little girl. This was definately a first or her. What was inside was a tissue with Luna's cutie mark embroided on it, with a background of black with white stars."

"What is it?"

"It is a bandana. You can put it around your neck to have it resemble my own necklace, or you can put it on your head to adorn the moon proudly upon your cranium."

"Ooooooh! Thanks alot, Princess Luna. I'll put it on now."

"Hm. It looks good on you." I told her.

"Thanks, mom. What about the cake?"

"HEEEERE IT IIIIIS!" Pinkie Pie sang.

Mr and Mrs Cake carried a huge cake to the table. It was carefully placed on it, but, despite the length of the table, the cake nearly covered it all. It was mostly white, but had tons of fruit on it, along with chocolate mixed in with the cake dough.

"There we go. Eat up everypony."

The cake was being cut by Luna, who levitated the pieces on plates to everybody. I licked my lips as I stared at the cake, but waited until everybody was served. nce done, I shouted:

"Eat up!" I closened my mouth towards the cake, before I felt something paining me in my chest.

SHE'S MINE! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER! I WON'T LET YOU SEPARATE HER FROM ME!

"Hurk."

I tried to clutch my chest, but I can't exactly do so without fingers, so I tried to walk away from the group.

"Mommy?"

"I'll...I'll be fine..."

"What's wrong with her necklace?" Luna yelled.

Apparently, the necklace was glowing a very powerful blue, and it was burning me, it was burning me so much that I passed out, but not before hearing:

She's mine! I'll have this body an kick you out into the emptiness foever!

Click Clock's fake dream

Silver was in the hospital, unconcious, but her necklace was glowing as bright as the sun. The astral alignment seemed to be having its affect on the Giga Sparkle, and it wasn't going to get any better. Cyclon and Amber were trying to get inside the hospital room, but the doctors refused, especially so, eeing that they needed unicorns to disperse the excess of magic inside of her. Meanwhile, what was happening in her mind?

"Hm?" my voice echoed throughout this tundra.

I was in a frozen tundra, high in the mountains. The skies burned with a red fire, while the ground I walked upon froze with every step and grew ice shards at said steps. Every now and then, fireballs would fall from the sky and crash upon the ground, creating twisting spirals of dirt that would rise into the air and create small drill-shaped towers.

"Where am I? Hello! Is anybody there?"

Wherever I was, it seemed dangerous and abandoned, so I walked along a trail my mind created to try and find help. As I climbed down a fallen pie of rocks, I saw someone further away. It looked fluffy and white, but I needed to find a way out of here.

"Hey! Is someone there? Answer me! I ned help getting out of this place!"

The answer I got was a shrieking roar that ended in what sounded like an avalanche of rocks.

"I'll just be going, then."

I tried to leave, but I was blocked by some ice shards growing in that direction.

"Oh shit."

The lumbering beast was now right behind me, and facing, I was filled with fear. It was a combination of ice nd fire. While its back was covered in hite fur lined with ice, the front was a bunch of cooled off lava and the typical form flowing throughout the cracks. It was slouched, and kept twisting its head as it stared at me. That head looked like a skull that seemed to be gasping for air.

"Eheheh. I'll just be going now. Sorry to bother you." I put on a nervous smile, but it blocked me with one of its long hands. "What do you want with me?" that's when I saw its ees glow blue. "*gasp* You bitch! Leave me alone!"

That giant kept drooling molten hot lava, and was about to spit at me, before something impaled itself in its head, and caused the beast to turn into a black rock. I was swept off my feet by a purple pony wearing a strange cloak covred with clock hands and who had a mohawk. She was really fast, and I could barely keep up, but she grabbed me again, and we both plummeted into a hole as that creature got out of its prison. I was horridly scared as I fell down the ice slide and slammed into a small pocket below the ice. My head hurt after it hit the surrounding walls.

"Owwwww...Thanks for saving me, but who are you?"

"Me? I'm just something that can traverse dreams and make them come true. I can do pretty much anything in the dream world." she turned around and showed that her pupils were ticking clocks. "You can call me Click Clock."

"What? Your eyes..."

"Dreams are out of bounds of the time stream, so I can pretty much do anything that I want like this. However, it seems that your dream world has begun to destabilize. Even one of the guardians of your mind have lost themselves."

"I don't get it. You're saying that-"

"-You are unconcious. You have, at most, by what I think..." the hands on her eye-clocks spun rapidly before stopping."Hm...about six hours until five years pass."

"WHAT?!"

"You heard me. I'm going to help you get out of here faster, though. That ceature licing inside of yu is affected by the cosmic rays of the universe."

"S-so? Why did that affect the sparkles?"

"Because there exist many types of magic. One of the most powerful is the magic of the astral realm. When that particular formation comes into being, the magics are scattered across all the planets. The sparkles can't control it, so they go crazy. I just have to reach your sparkle and block her absorption of astral magic."

"How?"

"I won't be saying, but I know a shortcut to the center of your psyche."

"Fine. Let's take it."

"Down here."

She opened a portal even lower than the previous. Fuck it. I'm jumping in.

This time, we were swept up by the currents of wind and began to fly above what looked like a thick, green forest full of diverse colors, and sided by mountains. However, as I began to admire the flowers growing everywhere, gigantic plants andweird monsters made up of them began to attack us from the sides and from below. Click Clock just laughed and, with a flick of her hoof, the beast were smashed against the grund and the surrounding walls.

"Wow. You really have no control on your mind right now."

"What?"

"I told you. These things are the guardians of your mind and emotions. Everypony has them...even the human race that you came from, Derry Wilhall."

"Wh-"

"I reign over dreams. I know quite few things about everyone, even you, and the time of Equestria before the princesses were even born. The dream world is a portal the connects every single dimension and world that exists, and that has ever existed. YOU control this world. Not the sparkle. These guardians are YOURS. You must retake control."

"But why are you even helping me?"

"The magic building up inside you is dangerous for the dream world. Do not fret. You are but one of an uncountable number of other beings whose existence has threatened it. You aren't special in any way." she smiled.

"Hmph. Thank you for being so kind."

"In we go."

"What? AH!"

The place suddenly became dark, and I found myself right in front of Silver. She seemed to be in pain and was leaking tons of magic from her body. It looked like a blue sea of sparkles. Around her, there was the damnable serpent from before. The one that was apparently the embodiment of my anger.

"H-help...Me..."

"What the hell is this? Some type of movie cliché? I' constantly return to this dark area, and the 'evil character' will become good?"

"Hey. This is your mind, not mine. That thing is the guardian of your anger, hatred, and self-loathing. I see that it has grown tremendously comared to many. Even with the one you gave birth to, you cannot get past the past? You will have no future if you cannot deal with that life and forgive your parents."

"Forgive them? Never! And when did this become about my mental state?"

I had to dodge a strike coming from that serpent. It seemed intent on devouring me. Even while dodging, Click Clock seemed to just float and bounce slowly in the air. She didn't care.

"Can't you help me?"

"I am. Keep it distracted and I'll have this thing cured in no time."

"How? I thought there was nothing that could do that!"

"The universe of dreams , Derry. The universe of dreams. There is another world that has found the cure, and I'm going to employ it!"

The serpent slapped me away before noticing what that mare was doing, and tried to attack her, but, tried something. If this was my mind, then controlling it wouldn't be a problem, so I put myself to it. With some concentration, I managed to impale the snake with thorny vines and slam it onto the ground. Click Clock punched something into Silver's head, and the next thing I know, I'm in the hospital with Amber having fallen asleep on my chest. Judging by her face, I'd have to say that she cried heself to sleep. For some reason, I passed my hoof through her mane and gave a faint smile. She must've felt it as she snuggled closer to my face while wincing.

"Like I told you, your mind, your world. Just don't forget the worlds of those around you who can be affected by it. That little ball of fuzz on you should tell you what you should and shouldn't do. Also, don't worry about Silver. The cure is a long and tedious process, so she'll be knocked out during the time. Don't worry. Her magic will still flow, so you can be a little mutant. Not that you aren't already one. Consider me as a deus ex machina that appears only once. Take good care of Amber Jewel."

It seems that I'm being visited by strange beings from everywhere lately. I just hope that whatever else that lies out there will leave me alone. I think that I've learnt my lesson. I don't need anymore of these torturing events to come into view anymore.

"Almost forgot. You had one minute before the timer popped."

MOTHERFU-

This chapter is more of a randomizer, but don't forget that a giga sparkle's magic is unstable and can cause things like this. No. I'm not doing this anymore. I just wanted to find a place to put Click Clock in the spotlight.

Her cutie mark

I suddenly awoke in the house wth a loud crack in my head. I looked around to see everything, and smiled as I saw that it was all normal. A wipe to my forehead, followed by an exhale, and a slouuching back into the bed, I thought out loud:

"Now THAT was a weird-ass dream. Fucking...guardians..." I moaned as I forced myself out of bed. "Still. That did give me a lesson...hmm...I better go see Amber to see if she's alright. Still, what in the world was that about? Why would I dream about my own mind, and why did that seem so confusing and deus ex machina-esque? I hate having weird dreams."

Walking out of my room, I could see Cyclon reading a book, and Amber playing around in her mage costume.

"Hey."

"Mom!" Jewel shouted as she jumped towards me and hugged me hard.

"Hey there. We need to stop seeing eachother like this."

"It's becoming a nasty habit. You need to stop scaring us like that."

I gave Cyclon a little kiss on the cheek, and he blushed and cringed for a moment.

"Since when do YOU give me kisses voluntarily?"

"It was a one time thing. Don't get too into it."

"Oh yeah?" he grabbed me and put me into one of those 'romantic holds'. "And what if I force you to kiss me on the lips for an extended period of time."

"Then HEADBUTT!"

"Wha-OW!"

He immediately let go and dropped onto the floor, rubbing his face, before I body slammed him.

"I said it was a ONE TIME THING! So...what happened to me?"

"Owww. You passed out in front of everypony. That necklace began to erupt in a blue fire that Princess Luna had trouble taking care of. She was unable to extinguish the flames. Then-"

As he started the next part of his story, I saw Jewel take off her mage clothes, and noticed something on her flank.

"Jewel, what's that on your flank?"

"Hm?" she wondered as she looked plainly at her flank, only to bounce five feet in the air as she remembered that she had that. "I've got my cutie mark! I got it thanks to you!"

"Huh!?"

That mark on her flank looked like a white ball of light surrounded by what seemed to be three crystals going around it in a type of tri-bladed glaive motion. The beginning of the crystal blades were nearly touching the white ball of light, but extended forward, barely even curving. They seemed to be manipulating that ball.

"Yeah. I was about to get to that. You see, Luna, ahem, PRINCESS Luna, you're making me get your bad habits, couldn't get rid of the blue flames around you. They started to spread, so we all backed off, that's when little miss danger hunter here jumped into the flames to save you. The princess thought she was lost, but the flames stayed away from her for some reason, so she tried to use her magic to save you, but it wouldn't work. The flames continued to grow outwards, but she kept trying and trying. When she was tired uot and couldn't use her magic anymore, she started to cry on your shoulder."

Jewel, started to hug me even harder as she looked saddened.

"I just stared at her. She just wouldn't give up, but then, something happened. The flames glew brighter for a moment, and then her horn began to shine blindingly. All the fires gathered into a blue tornado above her head, and that tornado devoured the magic that was gathering up inside of you. Then, the tornado just burst into an explosion of blue sparkles and shot about around the world. The princess thinks that it was just the magic spreading around like it always does, but she needed to be sure. She observed your body and noticed that your breathing was much better and that there was no random fluctuation of magic coming from your body."

"Wait...that dream...was it made from what she did? Not possible." I thought as I looked down onto the tiny filly hugging me tightly.

"So what does that cutie mark stand for?"

"For magical manipulation! I'm not too good in making spells, but I can control things and make them change appearance. It's all thanks to you, mom!"

"When you were considered A-OK, we took you to bed and let you lie down in it. You had started to mumble something about 'Click Clock' though. What does that mean?"

My eyes widened as my pupils shrunk.

"I have no idea. How did the party go?"

"We continued it despite your little injury, although poor Amber was more interested in staying by your side than play with all the stuff. Speaking of, Motel passed by. He cleaned the dress Rarity had made for you. You remember, the one with the three gems?"

He handed...err...hoofded...fuck you...the dress that was hanging over a couch to me. It was shinier than I remembered.

"And why, pray tell, would he do such a thing?"

"For the ball that he's organizing in Canterlot."

"What? Isn't that expensive?"

"You don't know how much he's gained in the last few years. So, shall you accompany me, milady? It is tomorrow night."

"Yes, I shall. And shall the little one be joining us?" I said as I eyed Jewel.

"Hey! I'm not little anymore. I've got my cutie mark." she pouted, but both Cyclon and I chuckled.

"You'll be wearing your mage costume?"

"Yes! Like that, I'll look perfect next to Princess Luna."

"Righto. Well then, Silver, Let's go get some ice cream for the headache you've certainly gotten. Twilight is going to pass by later to check on your magic levels, so don't worry."

"Okay. Let's go."

"Yes. That was a dream in a dream. I didn't do anything. Your daughter did. However, I'd advise caution. If you do not control the sparkle soon, you will be kicked out of your own body." a voice spoke to me in my head, followed by faint ticking noises, kind of like a clock.

"You alright, mom?"

"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Let's go."

"Don't forget what I told you about your family. Sweet dreams."

Bonus: Four months of pregnancy and trolling Celestia

As I intended to do, once I realized I messed up terribly with the time skip (I didn't pay attention to the damage it did) here are some little bonus scenes showing what happened during the pregnancy.

It has been four months since I became pregnant. My back hurts, my belly is nearly touching the floor so much I feel like Garfield the cat, and both Rarity and Fluttershy have been pissing me off with "how to take care of a baby". I keep going to pee every five minutes, I get mood swings (damn you hormones!), and I punch Cyclon a bit more...I guess that's a plus side. Heheheh. Whilst like this, I can't get up or do much. I miss having T.V. . Cyclon and, surprisingly, Pinkie Pie, have been feeding me with well balanced foods with barely any sugar in them. Usually, I'd get annoyed by these actions, but I guess I'll let them slide, just this once.

Right now, it was the night, and I needed to, once again, empty the canal for new shipments to arrive. It was really pitch black. This was normal, seeing as Luna's moon was covered up by storm clouds. Every step I took was met with unreasonable fear. I whispered to myself:

"C'mon, Derry! You're an adult! How can you be so scared of the dark?"

Hey Derry, remember that scary movie you watched when you were little about a monster coming out of the shadows and-

"Fuck you, brain!"

Ha!

That put aside, I finally reached the bathroom, and relieved myself of the need to do whatever I needed. I did, however, notice something in the mirror. As I crept closer, I saw two golden clock faces with hands spinning on them. I don't know if this was a dream or not, but it was very bizarre. The clocks dissolved to show me laughing while holding Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash in my arms. Both of them seemed to be holding mugs full of cider. Further away, Twilight and Rarity were dancing...as horribly as possible with Spike staring at Rarity with his big eyes. There were many things going on, such as Applejack and Fluttershy actually competing on how fast one of them could tame a wild bull. Not sure how that works in this world.

The place looked like a festival, with several things around serving as decorations and some such, and there were also many ponies from around the town. There was one thing that struck me as odd, though. There was a purple pony with a forward-swept mohawk, lying on its back while holding a mug full of a weird, bubbly red liquid. I got scared when I saw it raise its mug towards me. Quickly, the images all swirled and turned into two beautiful, amber colored eyes.

"Mom?" it asked.

I fe lt my heart skip a beat, and as I held my chest and closed my eyes, I looked up to see that there wasn't anything left.

"Silver, what are you doing up so late? Princess Celestia is coming tomorrow. You need to sleep." Cyclon tiredly said.

I took one last glance back at the mirror. Nothing but our reflection. I sighed and frowned.

"Fine. Just, hngh, let me try and, hngh, move."

Cyclon looked at me, annoyed, then mockingly.

"Well, I should help you, but I think that by the time you reach the bed, it'll be the time the princess comes."

"Harhar. I'm laughing."

Well, that, and you'll look like an overweight Japanese sumo. Who thought that even possible?

"If only I could strangle my own brain."

If only you had fingers that could go through all that fat. Hmm.

I'm going to fucking kill you.

After that dilemma, I finally managed to fall back asleep, and the next day, I was lying down on the couch. It was amazing how much a woman had to deal with when she was pregnant. Cyclon was stroking my mane while I rested my head on the couch arm, until knocking came. Once Cyclon opened the door, I got to see both Celestia and Bullseye, with Motel hiding behind and smiling suspiciously.

"G-G-General Bullseye?"

"So THIS is why you took off. Got to score, eh? Although, it seems that you backfired a bit." he said while rubbing his chin. Both Cyclon and I got made, while Motel, facehoofed.

"How about you two talk outside while I have a little chat with Silver here?" Celestia proposed, although her look showed enforcement rather than choice.

"Yes, m'am! C'mon, captain, let's talk outside."

"But I-"

"NOW!" Cyclon scuttled away quickly, while Bullseye's serious look gave way for laughing, followed by a very loud and violent slam.

Celestia moaned, but sat right across from me. I was quite drowzy, and could barely pay attention to anything. There was a long moment of silence, but the bi-I mean "princess", finally broke it.

"So, tell me, Derry."

"Hm?"

"How is it to be a mare?"

"Tiring."

"Mhmm. Had fun? Did you take advantage of your situation to get what you wanted?"

"That'd be more like my father. What a dumbass he was."

"Right. This is quite disturbing to see that you are pregnant, especially as we both know what gender you were-"

"Dadadah! Shut up. I don't need to be reminded." I yelled with hooves to my ears. Celestia looked mad.

"Well, you should! I left you here so that you could get better at life in Equestria, not so that you could prance around taking advantage of the female form." she snapped at me.

"Oh oh?! So I...wait a minute." my frown turned into a smirk. "Oh. I see. You're jealous." I pointed towards her.

"Wh-what? Jealous of what?"

"That I get more attention than you."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see, I'm a female right now, with the mind of a male. Many males find a masculine female attractive, although it can't be exaggerated. I've been one for about a year and a few months, and I already found myself a 'boyfriend' as well as actually doing...that..." I shuddered. "We've also already established your virginity, as well as your age. You are a thousand-year old virgin. Congratulations."

I smiled at her, while she started to turn into a brand new shade of red, not yet catalogued.

"You can brandish your steel all you want. I'm making a new family, and there's nothing you can do about it, unless you want everybody to take you for a monster."

She pointed towards me, and tried to speak, but nothing came out. Cyclon came back in looking...there's a word I don't want to pronounce. He was shiny, and I don't know what Motel and Bulsseye did to him, but his eyes were spinning and he was tipsy.

"Let's go." Celestia stormed out.

"What did you do to her?" Cyclon asked.

"Heheh. Nothing." Cyclon fell down with a loud thump. "You okay?"

"Eventually."

"Oh. Okay."

Well, that was an interesting day for m-

"OVERWEIGHT SUMOTORI! SHE-A FELL DOWN! RUN AWAY! THE EALTHQUAKES ALE SHAKING DA COUNTLY OF JAPAN!

"GODDAMNIT!"
