"So no luck in finding his parents?" Twilight Sparkle questioned the Foal Protection Agent standing before her with a quiet sigh.

"No, unfortunately." The stallion responded, adjusting his glasses as he looked down at his clipboard. "Every attempt to speak with the young Dai about his parents, family or even his home results in him using foul language or outright ignoring us."

Letting out a sigh, Twilight Sparkle looked outside her window into the town of Ponyville. Down below she saw Dai, the young thestral foal trotting alongside the crusaders. The three girls were as happy as could be, Dai however had that deep frown on his face, eyes a little bit narrowed as he followed alongside them. She wondered why he had to be so... persistant in his foalish ways of staying away from his family. Who knows how his parents are feeling right now... they have to be devastated because of how long he's been gone... nearly four years now.

"I'm sure we'll find them." The agent nodded his head towards the mare. "It just takes time, your majesty."

The princess just sighed, shaking her head slowly. "I'm not sure about that... but please try and find them, he needs to go back to his family." The stallion muttered a promise she tuned out before trotting out, followed by guards as she watched Dai walk with his little friends around a corner. She could only close her eyes, placing her head in her hoof and rubbing her forehead with a tired expression on her face. So much time has passed since that young colt wandered into town, stoic faced yet confused, asking for help wondering where he was.

She was happy to help him... but so much changed afterward, learning his name and the fantastical tale he spun about being a human of all things, which she couldn't bring herself to believe. It was so strange he would weave such a story to her, a princess and have the utmost honest tone and expression on his face while telling it.

He's so disillusioned by this fantasy he believes it himself. Twilight thought sadly, shaking her head before trotting towards the door.

What A Life: The Life of Dai
Written by: Dustchu

The town of Ponyville was as vibrant as ever, ponies were out and about minding their stalls and shops, waiting for customers to arrive and buy their wares so they can fill their pockets with some much needed coin. The streets were filled with ponies, talking and having a generally good day, the sun was shining as pegasi were flying and keeping stray clouds away so ponies on the ground could enjoy the sunshine. Foals were out and about, playing in the parks and on the roads.

Four such foals, were hanging out near Sugarcube Corner.

One of which, was frowning.

"This place is giving me diabeties just looking at it." A thestral colt with silver bangs and blue wings over a black body muttered next to an alabaster filly, who was sipping a drink while her two friends ate powdered donuts.

"Oh come on now, Dai." Applebloom muttered past her donut. "T'ain't that bad."

"This place is a literal gingerbread house covered in sweets..." Dai responded, poking a donut he was given. "Pardon me while I wonder how the pink one hasn't had her kidneys fail by now with how much of her own product she consumes." He commented before taking a bite of the donut. Chocolate... eh.

Gulping down some of her food, Scootaloo looked towards the pink mare in question who was hopping all around, bringing out freshly baked food to the customers. "She's weird like that," A shrug was followed soon after before she added, "Pinkie can do a lot of stuff that's really freaky."

"Dare I ask?" Dai questioned carefully, before he saw, to his shock, Pinkie Pie moonwalking back into the kitchen... but she was moving doing it in reverse somehow. "Never mind, I have enough of a headache as it is."

"Why?" Sweetie Belle asked him, turning to look Dai in the eyes with her own pretty green ones. "Do you need to go to the doctor?"

Dai shook his head rapidly. "No, I do not." He told her firmly, "I am just sick of having to deal with these FPS ponies, and Twilight's whole," He then made a face and altered his voice to mock Twilight Sparkle, "You're not a human silly colt, you're a pony and you belong back with your parents~" Once he finished, the three fillies around him giggled slightly.

Along with a mare.

"That's a good impression Daiky Wikey!" They all heard Pinkie chirp from behind the colt, causing Dai to bristle and nearly jump out of his seat.

"Gah!" Dai whirled around in his seat, narrowing blue eyes at the overly bubbly pink mare. "Damn it PInkie!" He hissed at her. "How many times have I asked you not to sneak up on me!"

With the brightest smile the mare could possibly muster, she looked Dai in the eyes and said, "Exactly 245!" She answered happily, grinning widely and causing her jaw to squeak slightly as if it were rusty. "And I like sneaking up on you Dai, you're cute when you're all mad~"

Dai's eyebrow twitched slightly. "I am not... cute."

"Yes you are~"

"No I'm not."

"Of course you're cute! Just look at your fluffy cheeks!"

"Don't touch my face."

"Come on, lemme hug you! You're so fluffy!"

"No."

"Buuuuuuut Daaaaaaaaaaaai."

"I said no Pinkie."

"Butyou'resofluffy!"

"... Pinkie... why are you looking at me like that?"

"FLUFFY!"

"... Bugger."

Dai shot up from his seat and darted out of the shop, followed by a squeeing Pinkie Pie declaring snuggles and hugs for all time. Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom just ate their food and slurped away their drinks without a care in the world. With Dai, he was sprinting as fast as his tiny legs could carry him, instinctively flapping his wings as he heard wings flapping above him.

"Whoohoo! Chase!" He hear Rainbow cheer, and a look behind him showed both mares now in hot pursuit of him.

"Give me a break!" Dai cried, wondering what he did to deserve such a fate to be constantly chased for being, cute.

This is the story of Dai... a former Navy Seal in the United States Navy back on his own homeworld. A former human as well, a deadly fighter, a warrior with blood that was as cold as ice. But now, now he's an extremely adorable thestral colt, that many in Ponyville find incredibly cute, much to his dismay. No matter how many times he tries to tell everyone about his past, what he was, what he did, no one believed him and just assumed he was a colt who ran away from home.

Such is a life, the Life of Dai.
