Strangely enough, Discord's gone missing as well. What could this mean? He won't be finding it out alone. With his daughter Sundae and his girlfriend, soon to be fiance, Jessica at his side this case might prove to be either a walk in the park, or a terrible nightmare….

Chapter 1

BANG, click. The first shot blasted Discord's lion arm clean off his body. BANG, click. The second shot blasted Discord's chicken arm clean off his body. BANG, click. The third shot blasted Discord's cloven hoof leg clean off which should've sent Discord to the ground but he still stood up. BANG, click. The fourth shot blasted Discord's dragon leg clean off sending Discord backwards. Matthew then stood over Discord's prone body and with pointing the High Standard FLITE KING K-1200 Riot Shotgun at Discord's head he said one last thing to the draconequis.

"You have the right to remain silent. FOREVER!"

BANG! The last shot annihilated Discord's head into smithereens.

"KO"

"It's over." Matthew said going over to the group

"WOOK!" Sweetie Belle? said

Matthew then turned to see a glowing orb floating above Discord's dead body.

"What the fuck?! What is that?!" Matthew asked

"I've heard about this." Celestia spoke, "It's said, whoever makes a deal with a draconequis before killing it will be granted an orb that contains the magic necessary to fulfill said deal. What was the deal you made with Discord before killing him?"

"For everything to be reset. Everyone to live and act like nothing happened, like as if I never existed, and to go back home with Sundae."

"B-but why?" Celestia asked

"Because this was never meant to be." Matthew said, "I know Discord here's gonna come back because every little thing we do or decide becomes a parallel universe. Multiverse theory and all that."

"Yes. Indeed he shall come back." Celestia said, "Most likely from a universe where he beat you."

"Even then I don't think he would be one to try and pull the same trick twice right? I mean if I killed him in one dimension I'd probably do it again in another." Matthew said.

"Daddy, am I weally going with you too youw home univewse?" Sweetie Belle? asked

"Indeed you are Sundae. I love you too much to let you go." Matthew said, "And Celestia, I'm not sure if we'll ever see each other again, but should you ever need me come to my universe if you can and look for the man Matthew Jackson of the University of Tennessee. Then again you'll most likely not even remember me anyways."

"Actually I will. Remember when I said I got lost in the woods for two weeks when I ran away from home when I was younger?"

"Yeaah?"

"I killed a draconequis in there and made a deal with him that if I beat him I could remember anything without a problem and no magic could reverse it, because during my time in the woods I ended up hitting my head thus causing me to lose some of my memories. The draconequis was kind enough to give me my memories back under the condition I killed him, but we made a deal to add on to it, if he won I would lose all of my memories and live on as his puppet, but if I won, you know."

"Why though? Why make that kind of deal?"

"Draconiquises are tricksters. They can mean say one thing but mean something else entirely or just not stay true to their word at all. Deals are the only way they can stay true to their words. It's part of their code."

"Huh. Interesting-wait. Ar you saying there's more of them!?"

"Nope. They all went quote on quote extinct 1,000 years ago."

"Okay that's more comforting." Matthew said, "But, enough with the hesitations. It's time to end this."

"Equestria may never remember you ever again Matt Cordell-"

"Matthew Jackson. That's my real name."

"Equestria may never remember you ever again Matthew jackson, but I will. I will remember you as one of the greatest heroes Equestria ever had. Minus the rampages you had."

"And I'll never forget you Princess Sol Celestia." Matthew said with a salute to Celestia doing one at him.

Matthew then looked at the orb and with one hand touched it, and within a matter of seconds a bright light enveloped the three.

Matthew awoke to a bright light, but soon found out it was the room of his hotel. He looked at himself to see he was in his normal clothing. Tennessee vols t-shirt, blue jeans, converse red sneakers, and even his normal dark white skin was there. Looking around him he then noticed a sleeping child next to his left. Her hair was long and brown and she wore a dark yellow dress, dark and light cream colored socks, and dark white skin. She began to stir some and opened her eyes to reveal them to be orange. It was Sundae.

"D-daddy?" Sundae asked

"Hey Sundae. We're home." Matthew said picking up his daughter

He then took her into his bed room where her laid her underneath the covers and let her fall to sleep. But to help her, he sung her a little lullaby...

Let's go in the garden

You'll find something waiting

Right there where you left it, lying upside down

When you finally find it

You'll see how it's faded

The underside is lighter, when you turn it around

Everything stays right where you left it

Everything stays

But it still changes

Ever so slightly

Daily and nightly

In little ways

When everything stays

And with that Sundae went to sleep without a problem.

"Goodnight Sundae, I love you." Matthew said kissing her on the forehead

But just as he was about to leave the bedroom...

"Goodnight daddy, I wove you." she said with a yawn

Matthew could only smile as he left closing the door behind him. He then looked at his digital clock on the wall that showed the military time and date it was 23:30, roughly translating to 11:30. And the day was Saturday, then looking at his paper calendar he saw marked on it was

Comic Con which was three days ago. Smiling he said...

"Heh. Looks like history won't be repeating itself today." Matthew said

Then his cordless house phone started ringing. He answered it without hesitation.

"Hello?" Matthew asked, "Oh hey Jessica! ..... Sorry. Looks like I'm gonna have to cancel for tomorrow. ..... Something's come up. ..... If you want I can show you tomorrow. ....... Alright. I'll see you tomorrow at twelve. ...... See ya too cutie. ...... Love ya too."

And then he hung up. And with a sigh sat down on the couch. But then he noticed something sticking out from the cushions. He then pulled it out to reveal a very familiar billy club.

"No. No way that's impossible." Matthew said

He then pulled at the bottom and then quickly dropped it backing away in surprise. His breathing became heavy, his heart pounded, what he saw gave him terrible, horrible flashbacks. What he pulled out from the billy club was none other than a hidden blade covered in blood.

One year later...

Matthew Jackson was in his garage where he was working on a old VCR for a friend of his.  While working on it he heard the door open.

"Daddy? Awe you done?"

Matthew then looked to see his daughter Sundae wearing her outfit from the day she arrived with an added pink hoodie.

"No not yet sweetie." Matthew said

"Awe, you gonna pwopose to Jessica today?" Sundae asked

"Well. We've been dating for a long time now, we've pretty much gotten approval from both our parents, and I've bought the ring yesterday. Yeah. I'm gonna do it." Matthew said

"Does this mean I'm gonna get a mommy?!"

"Yes Sundae. It means just that." Matthew said

"Yaaaaay!" Sundae cheered, "Oh, uh, daddy, my fwiend has come over today, is it okay if we go pway in your woom?"

"As long as you let Snowbell in on the fun."

"Awww. Do I have too?"

"You know how lonely he can get. He's a Persian cat he needs all the attention he can get. And you know I've gotta work on this VCR right now."

"Okay then." Sundae said before leaving

"Just one more slight adjustment, aha! That should do it!"

"Yeah, I just got through testing and it looks like it's working again! ...... Actually, you think you can pick it up next week? ..... I'm gonna be busy the rest of the week, so, just pick it up next week and we'll work on the rest from there. ..... Alright see ya Doug."

Matthew then hung up the phone and went into his room to see Sundae petting and nuzzling Snowbell, a white Persian cat Matthew got for Sundae's birthday.

"Hey Sundae, where's Jamie at?" Matthew asked

"She got called back home. Said it was a famiwy meeting." Sunday said

"Family meeting again? That's the second time this week." Matthew said, "I wonder what's going on that could be so important-"

Suddenly the phone started ringing. Rushing over to it Matthew answered without hesitation.

"Hello?" Matthew answered, "Oh hey Jessica! ...... You're on your way over here right now?! That's great! ...... Eh. Lets just say there's something I wanted to ask you. ........... Can't tell ya that. It's a surprise. ....... Alright. I'll see ya in a bit. ......... Love ya too."

He then hung up and started getting giddy.

"Why awe you so happy daddy?" Sundae asked

Equestria....

The CMC, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon were walking home from school in the spring heat. They were talking about what they were gonna do over the summer.

"So, what are you gals gonna do over summer vacation?" Applebloom asked the girls.

"I'm going on a trip to Canterlot. I hear the tourism is rising these past couple of years." Diamond stated

"Me and my parents are taking a three month vacation to Fillydelphia." Silver Spoon added

"Me and Dash are going on a camping trip for a couple of days." Scootaloo said

"I'm not doing anything." Sweetie Belle said

"Me neither." added Applebloom

Suddenly Applebloom heard something rustling in the bushes. Applebloom placed a hoof up signaling the girls to stop.

"What is it?!" Diamond asked

"Did any of ya hear that?" Applebloom asked

"Hear what?" Scootaloo asked back

Suddenly the bushes started to move a bit rustling got even louder.

"That!" Applebloom said in a bit of a panic

"M-m-maybe it was just a bunny!" Silver Spoon said starting to panic as well, "Or m-m-maybe an innocent bunny!"

CRUNCH! SPLAT!

"WHAT IN TARNATION WAS THAT?!" Applebloom shouted out of fear

Suddenly coming out from below the bushes that was next to a dense tree forest was none other than blood.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" The five screamed in absolute terror

"RUN FOR IT! TO TWI'S CASTLE!" Applebloom shouted

And without a moment of hesitation the group ran away towards town screaming their little heads off. As they ran into town they got strange looks from other ponies as they continued to run for Twilight's castle in an attempt to hid from the scene they witnessed. They eventually made it and locked the door behind them. Twilight had heard the commotion and looked to see five scared and out of breath foals.

"CMC? Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon? What are you five doing here?" Twilight asked

"MONSTER!" The five shouted

"MONSTER IN THE FOREST!" Sweetie Belle added

"BLOOD! BLOOD EVERYWHERE!" Scootaloo finished

"WHAT?!" Twilgiht shouted in shock, "WHERE?! SHOW ME WHERE!"

The group soon lead Twilight to the area to find blood coming from underneath the bush. Twilight felt like she was gonna vomit. She then looked behind the bush and let out the content of her morning breakfast.

"Sweet mother of god!" Twilight said through the pain, "Who or what would do that?!"

There. In a puddle of blood was a pony hand cuffed and with his head completely crushed in.

Canterlot...

Celestia was in her room trying on a new dress for the upcoming Grand Galloping Galla when all of a sudden a scroll appeared in front of her.

"A scroll?" Celestia asked out loud, "I wasn't expecting any letters today."

She then took the scroll and looked at its contents.

Dear Princess Celestia,

This is not a drill Celestia, I repeat, this is not a drill Celestia! This is an emergency! A huge one at that! You know how there's been some murders going on in Manehatten? There's been a murder in the forest near the school house! Please, send for help right now! Everypony's starting to panic and nothing's gonna calm them down!

Sincerely yours,

Princess Twilight Sparkle

Celestia dropped the letter out of shock. It couldn't be. Could HE have returned?!  There had been a string of murders going on in Manehatten with the only clue pointing towards the killer being a cop or guard.

"There's no way." Celestia said, "There's no way he's back to being a killer. He left and reset our world back to normal. ..... Unless we were right in thinking that a Discord from a universe where he beat him has come here. But how would he know to come to this universe in particular? And if so, why is he killing? AUGH! Too many questions and not enough answers, and even those answers have twenty more questions behind it! ...... Well. He did say that if I was to ever need him to give him a call. but is it really worth it? Nobody but me's gonna remember who he is. Well. I need to weigh my options. I can either not call him up and probably have more deaths, or I could call him up and potentially find the killer. It takes one to know one as the saying goes."

"COME ON, COME ON! AAAAAAAAH! STUNNER! THE STUNNER! STONE COLD, STONE COLD, STONE COLD!"

Matthew, Sundae, and Jessica was playing WWE 2k17 on the PS3 and it was a special guest referee match with Matthew playing as the special guest referee Stone Cold in a match putting Ryback against Gooollllldberrrrrg. Sundae was playing as Gooollllldberrrrrg, while Jessica was playing as Ryback and Ryback was they guy who got a stone cold stunner to hell. Then with that Sundae sent Gooollllldberrrrrg into a pin on Jessica, and before she could even react Matthew made Stone Cold do a fast count.

"I WIN! I WIN AGAIN!" Sundae said in excitement

"For literally the one hundredth seventy third time." Jessica groaned, "And that's literally no exaggeration."

"I taught her well." Matthew said with a smile

"And interfered well as well." Jessica said back

Jessica was five foot four inches, her breast were at least a C size as could be seen by her greyish white bra with two blue Scorpio symbols on it hand drawn, she had previously taken off her dark grey shirt with the Scorpio symbol on it hand drawn with blue tie dye marker because it was hot outside, also she was wearing red jeans with red Converse sneakers and while it wasn't exactly visible she was also wearing Lace Suspender Stockings. Her hair was black and her eyes were blue. Her eye shadow and lipstick was blue as well and her belly button ring was shown proudly.

"D'oooh." Matthew groaned, "But anyways, Jessica, there's something I've wanted to ask you."

"What is it?" Jessica asked

"Jessica. Will you-"

"RING, RING, RING, PHONE CALL, PHONE CALL". The phone started ringing.

"UGGHHH!" Matthew groaned getting up to answer the phone, "That phone always rings when ya don't want it to!"

Picking up the ringing phone he hit the call but and placed it against his ear.

"No offense, but whatever this is it better be important because I'm in the middle of something here!" He said

"Matthew. We need your help." Said a familiar voice

"Huh?! How the?!"

Before Matthew knew it though a green smoke came from the phone hitting him in the face causing him to drop it and cough up a storm. Unknowingly though as Sundae and Jessica went to check on Matthew the smoke started filling the room making them feel dizzy. Then they collapsed right on top of Matthew passed out just like he was and before any of them knew it, the smoke covered them up and then when it disappeared they were gone.

"Sister?" Luna asked Celestia, "Who is it you said you were calling to help with the murder situation?"

"An old friend." Celestia said, "Nobody but me remembers him."

"But why not?" Luna asked, "Surely if he's somepony you know who can help us he must have been remembered by all of Equestria. You can't just be the only one."

"Well. If I was to tell you why no pony remembers him, you'd call me crazy." Celestia said, "Also he's not a somepony, but a some human."

Then a semi familiar shape started to warp into Celestia's room.

"And his name is Matthew Jackson." Celestia said, "Or as he's known as, Matt Cordell."

Chapter 2

When Matthew's body started to materialize Celestia noticed two unfamiliar shapes on top of him.

"Uh oh." Celestia said with wide eyes

"Uh oh? What do you mean uh oh?" Luna asked

Then when Matthew's body finally materialized in Matthew was back and wearing his Matt Cordell costume, but now there was two more people with him.

"Whoops." Celestia said, "I probably should've checked to see if he was alone."

Suddenly the two people on him began to stir.

"Oooooh. My tummy huwts." Sundae groaned

"My ass hurts." Jessica moaned

"Who in Equestria are you two?!"

Sundae and Jessica then looked to see Celestia and Luna giving them disappointing looks.

"Uhhhhh. Am I high?" Jessica asked

"Cewestia?! What awe me, daddy, and Jessica doing hewe?" Sundae asked

"I'm sorry Sundae, but I was only intending to bring your father here." Celestia said, "But, might I ask, who is she?"

"I'm Jessica Bunch. I'm Matthew's girlfriend." Jessica explained

"Oh! I wasn't aware he had a girlfriend." Celestia said

Also I think that may have been another reason he went mad and killed mother and Starswirll in the first book. Celestia thought

"What do you mean you weren't aware?" Luna asked

"Yeah just what do you mean by that?" Jessica added

I really need to learn to keep my mouth shut. Celestia said

"Goagh. My head. I feel like as if  just got hit by truck that was being driven by a drunk driver that was getting attacked by a snake all the while a crow was taking a shit all over them." Matthew groaned as he awoke and tried to get up

"What?" Jessica, Sundae, Celestia, and Luna said at the same time

"Never mind." Matthew said, "Hey, Celestia, why the fuck did you bring me back here?"

"Never mind that, what the hell happened to you?!" Jessica asked

"What?" Matthew asked in confusion

Then he looked in a nearby mirror. He was back in his Cordell outfit. Then the memories started to flood back. Bad ones....

"I'm sorry Matthew, but you can not go home."

"What? What do you mean I can't go home?"

"The spell Starswirll used to get you here was one way. You can't go home ever."

"..........."

"Celestia and Luna knew it all along as well."

"We didn't want to hurt your feelings Cordell."

"We're terribly sorry though."

"Can you forgi-what are you doing?"

"..........."

"Cordell?!"

"What are thou doing?! PUT THAT AWAY!"

"CORDELL STO-"

SHANK!

"MOTHER!"

"Ahh. Cordell wonderfull to see you again-Cordell what are you doing?!"

SHANK!

"You talk too much old man."

"DIE YOU TRAITORS!"

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!

"GRRRR! HOLD STILL!"

"This is impossible, why didn't the elements work?!"

"I don't know!!!"

"Damn it out of ammo!"

"Sister! The cement!"

"WHAT THE?! NITE WING! I FOUND-"

SHANK!

"WHAT THE?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

SHANK!

"Lyra?! LYRA?!"

........................

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I HAVE TO GET HELP!"

WHAM! .......SHANK!

"Uhhhh, Scoots? Did ya'll hear somethin'?"

.........

"Scootaloo?!"

WHAM!

"GAH! MAH HEAD!"

SHANK! RIP, TEAR! ....... SPLAT! ...... SPLAT!

"Ogh. Huh?! HELP! SOMEPONY HEL-GACK!"

*Choking noises* SNAP! *fire sounds*

"PLEASE! I'LL DO ANYTHING JUST PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-"

*Choking noises*

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

*footsteps*

"GET BACK! GET AWAY FROM ME! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL-"

SHANK!

Matthew felt a tear run down his eye as the memory of the day he murdered a bunch of innocent people just to save Sweetie Belle came to him. The screams of terror as he unleashed bullet after bullet onto the ponies who were just doing their job. How he killed the parents of Flurry Heart out of selfishness to save just one foal.

All those innocent lives I've taken. I reset the world so they wouldn't stay taken, but the blood. No matter how many times I shower or bathe the blood just won't come off. I'm a horrible pathetic excuse of a human being. Matthew thought

"Uhhhh, Matthew?" Jessica said snapping Matthew out of his trance

"Oh, uh, um, what is it?" Matthew asked

"You wewe staweing out into nothing daddy." Sundae explained

"Oh, uh, sorry. Just, um, some, AHEM, memories coming back to me." Matthew said

Celestia shot a quick sad look at Matthew. She knew just what memories he was talking about.

"But anyways. Why?! Why did you teleport me here wearing THIS?! " Matthew said

"Because it was the only thing you ever wore." Ceestia said

"Oh. Right. I couldn't exactly take it off my first time here." Matthew said, "I swear this thing HAD to have become my skin!"

"CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Luna and Jessica shouted

"It's, uh, complicated." Celestia and Matthew said

"Explain." Jessica said sternly

"Explain indeed." Luna added

"Weellll." Celestia and Matthew began

Luna and Jessica's jaws were dropped.

"Uhhhhhhhhh." they started

"Yeah, yeah, come on bring it onto me. What's it gonna be this time? 'Have you been doing meth?', 'That's insane! You've gotta be lying!' or 'Do you have proof to back it up that you did all this?' wouldn't surprise me if either of you said that or even all three. Wouldn't be the first time." Matthew said nonchalantly

"Dude. That. Is. WICKED!" Jessica said in a enthusiastic voice

"Whoa, didn't see that coming." Matthew said surprised

"Indeed." Celestia said as shocked as Matthew was

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around it." Luna said plainly

"So you're not-"

"Matthew, I'll be perfectly honest, if I was in your shoes, I would've went on a murder spree to. I'll be it only killed who needed it, but would've done one either way." Jessica said, "Also question for Sundae."

"What is it Jessica?" Sundae asked

"If you died as a teenager, why are you back to being a six year old?"

"I don't actually know."

"I can answer that." Matthew said, "When I meant in my deal to bring Sundae with me home, I didn't specifically say her age."

"Oooh." Jessica said

"But Celestia, before anything else decides to interrupt us, why did you call me here?!"

"You said-"

"I meant that as a joke! I never wanted to be brought back here! It was supposed to be a one liner!"

"Whoops." Celestia said

"Wow." Luna said, "You may have connected with the ponies longer than me, but mistaking a one liner for meaning something is beyond stupid."

"How was I supposed to know that was a one liner?! He din't exactly make it clear that it was one when he left!" Celestia argued

"Look, forget it okay?!" Matthew said, "As long as I'm here can i at least ask why you brought me here?!"

"Oh. Right. Sorry." Celestia said, "I summoned you here because Ponyville was hit by a murder. There had been a murder spree going on in Manehatten, but for a while it only stayed there. Until now that is."

"A murder spree? Is that it? I can-"

"And all the evidence points to the killer being a police pony or a royal guard."

Matthew went silent.

Ohhhhh no. Matthew thought out of fear, This isn't good.

"Well what evidence do you have to back up that theory?" Matthew asked

"The killer uses a baton with a hidden blade in it according to witnesses. Most recently even using handcuffs."

"Has anyone been able to get a good look at him?"

"No. He comes out at night. No one has seen his face or appearance."

Just like in the first Maniac cop movie. Matthew thought, No one knows his name and no one knows his face. Just like how the trailer described it.

"Has the killer ever spoken?"

"No."

Mute like Cordell as well. Matthew thought, This is getting weeiiird.

"Do you know the gender?"

"No. No one has ever gotten a close enough of a look."

Okay no one knows the gender either. Great. This is gonna be SOOOO easy. Matthew thought with sarcasm, Oh who am I kidding?! This is gonna be like trying to find a hay in a needle stack!!!

"Well that doesn't give me much to work with." Matthew said, "I can't just go around every city and town in Equestria and ask every police pony and royal guard, 'Hey are you the killer?' that's gonna bring suspicion onto me! And I didn't even do it this time! This is gonna be one of those days I just know it. I just hope this doesn't end up like that one time I tried to stay up for two weeks straight, but only to find out that I practically starved myself to death because I was focusing too much on trying to keep myself awake to work on a project that was due for my end of coarse test on my last year at the University of Tennessee. I swear ever since then I've had to keep an alarm clock with me at all times nowadays to make sure I didn't do it again. And trust me hearing the sound of it constantly going, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep, over and over and over again can REALLY make a guy go mad! ........ I rambled for far too long didn't I?"

"Eeyup." Everyone said in agreement

This is the result of binge watching Freeman's Mind, Barney's Mind, and Shepard's Mind for three days straight with no sleep. Matthew thought

"Well looks like I'm going in solo as usual." Matthew said, "I'm not trusting the guards an police ponies because as of right now, the killer could be any one of them."

"Understood." Celestia said

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You think you're doing this alone? Hell no Matt! I'm not gonna sit and idle by as you do all the work." Jessica said

"Jessica, I know you wanna help, but in case you haven't noticed, I'M DEALING WITH A PSYCHO KILLER!"

"So? You've seen me handle myself before." Jessica said

"Yes, but that was against a burglar! This is a clever son of a bitch psycho killer who could turn you into mince meat!"

"Jessica, I'm not letting you help me it's too dangerous!"

"Says the guy who pisses himself every time he sees blood!"

"THAT WAS THAT ONE TIME!"

"Wait. You have a fear of blood?" Celestia asked

"Not really. As long as it doesn't reach pool levels I'm fine with it." Matthew explained

"Then tell me why the hell you freaked out when you found a hidden blade baton covered in fresh blood on it!"

"Because I didn't think the weapon came over with me! I thought i was sure the weapons were destroyed when I left Equestria!"

"Look, face facts Matt, I'm helping you, and that's that!"

"Ugh! Fine!" Matthew groaned, "But the only reason I'm letting you is because every time we do this you never stop until you have your way!"

"And rightfully so." Jessica said, "You think you'd have learned that lesson by now."

"I know." Matthew groaned

"Um daddy?"

"Huh? What is it Sundae?" Matthew asked getting down to Sundae's eye level

"I-I wanna hewp too!"

"What?! Why?! Sundae I KNOW it's too dangerous for you!" Matthew said

"But I CAN hewp you!" Sundae said

"How?!" Matthew asked

"I can tawk to the foaws and see what they know." Sundae asked, "Wet's face it daddy, you'we too scawy wooking to get the foaws to even speak. It might wowk on aduwt ponies, but not foaws. Foaws having somepony as scawy as you asking questions won't be happening without the pawents keeping them away fwom you."

"....... Damn. You've got a point." Matthew said, "But it's still too dangerous. You could get hurt or even worse! I don't want to lose you again Sundae!"

"But I'ww be okay. As wong as I'm with Jessica." Sundae said

"Yeah. She could be around me and be okay. I've got the combat training." Jessica said

"Well. Alright then. But stay close to Jessica okay?" Matthew asked, "Promise?"

"I pwomise."
