Spike had just finished packing up everything that they needed for this trip. Spike took a moment to think about his life, being king, ruling Equestria. "Sure I could fight bad guys... but am I meant rule a world of ponies, I only became king because there was no one else. but now Anon can take my place, maybe. It Would be better if a pony ruled Equestria then a Dragon and My Children don't need me anymore maybe sometime after Scootaloo's passing I should go to the back to the dragon Lair?"

"DAD! AGILE'S HERE!... COME ON!" Blazing Diamond Shouts at the top of his lungs, unknowingly bring his dad out of his thoughts.

"Yeah Im coming!" Spike confirmed as he closed up his bag. Spike made his way through the corridor and down the stairs to where his family and friends where waiting.

"You okay Dad?" Blazing asks noticing his Dad looked upset.

"Yeah son im fine just got a lot on my mind right now." Spike explained as he put his claw on his son's back as they walked too the front door.

The carriage was waiting out to take Spike and his family to their destination, Scootaloo, Blazing Diamond, Agile and his wife Apple Charm was already waiting in the carriage.

Before Leaving Spike turned around to talk to you and Twilight. "Are sure you two are gonna be fine without me?"

"For the last time yes we'll be fine, You and Twilight taught me everything you knew, we're gonna be fine." you reassured Spike.

"We'll be fine Spike, you just enjoy some time with your family you deserve it, just say hi from us." Twilight smiles warmly.

Spike smiles and nods his head before and left to join his family in the carriage. A guard closes the door behind Spike before the carriage takes off being pulled into the sky by four Pegasi. You and Twilight wave Spike off as the carriage got feather and feather away until the carriage gets out view. Once Spike was gone you and Twilight decided to go back into the castle, your mind was just focused on you're wife and daughter hoping that they were having a good day.

You we're brought out the thoughts as you hear Twilight call you name. "Anon!"

"Eh, what did ya say Twi?" You ask feeling bad that you wasn't listing to Twilight.

"I said, how's Pinkie doing? I haven't seen her in a while, she is the last one of my friends left alive, I should go see her but im just so busy." Twilight said with a frown.

"Oh thanks, im not a friend am I" you turn your head in fake discussed trying to lighten the mood.

"You know what I mean." Twilight giggles.

"Yeah I know, well... she's... not great, the doctors have said she hasn't got long." You frown as you remember the moment.

"Oh... I should really visit her soon then." Twilight smiles sadly.

"I think she would like that." You smile back.

The rest of the walk went in silence as you thought about your about your past. Being human was a distant past like it never happed, like it was a dream or something you had made up once in your head. You tried to think about who you left in the human world and you couldn't, the mind went blank like it was forbidden unable to recall any loved ones. The only thing you could remember was a bus ride looking out of a window, but as soon as the bus ride stops your memory fades to white and your head starts to hurt from think about the past.

You shake you're head ignoring the pain think it was better dealt with another day, you we're about to open the door to the Throne Room until you noticed that Twilight wasn't next to you. You turn around looking for Twilight, you trot further down the corridor to look down another corridor seeing Twilight at the far end about walk up them.

You call out making her stop, your confused as to where she is going so gallop up to her finding out. "Twilight! where you are going?"

"Well I did tell but I have a feeling that you wasn't listening." Twilight smirked.

A nervous blush Appears on your face letting Twilight know. "Yeah... im sorry I... I have a lot on my mind at the moment." You admit as nervously rub the back of your mane.

"That's understandable, but to what I said earlier was that im going back to bed since I sleep in the day and im leaving you in charge of the Equestria." Twilight yawns.

"WHAT?... am I supposed to run Equestria on my on own?" You ask scared at the thought of being left alone with such a daunting task.

"Well yes... you've been taught everything about running Equestria and now its time to put what you've learned into practice, you know Spike wont be around forever it is true that dragons live for thousands of years but one day he will die and you will take his place after." Twilight informs you.

"B-But what if I mess up and I don't know what to do?" You ask ignoring what Twilight had just told you

"Then come get me, but only if you have done everything you know that you can do, okay?" You swallow the lump in your throat and nod in reply. "Good... now im going to bed, have a good first day Anon." Twilight yawns yet again before trotting up the stairs before to her bedroom.

"Sleep well Twilight." you wish her as she makes her way up.

You make your way back down the corridors to the door guarded by two male Earth Ponies of The Royal Guard. They bow as you open the door and walked past them saying. "Good Morning your majesty." You surprise them by replying the same back but you couldn't tell as they held onto their stoic face. You make your way up to Spikes throne, its made out of gold with a hole in the shape of flame bolt on the back of the chair with green emeralds imbedded into the top of the head board and arms of the chair. The Pillow was purple with a green trimming on the outside, it had Spike initials sew onto it in the left corner K.S.S, to which you thought it was King Spike Sparkle by pure guess work never knowing that Spike had a last name. You take your place as you sit down on Spike Throne you feel your cutie mark glow. You look down at your flank it now had the picture of gold crown on it. The Symbol calmed you down and gave you confidence in your self. You decided to take in your surrounding's, the pillow you sat on was so comfortable like sitting on a cloud. you take moment to enjoy the comfort of the pillow before calling Spike's loyal Assistant to see what your duties of the day were.

"Quartz Pen?" You call out ready to start the day.

Soon a yellow male unicorn with a blue mane burst through the doors galloping only to stop in the middle of the room standing to attention. "Yes your majesty!"

It still felt weird hearing people call you your majesty. "What's on the list today of things we have to do?"

"Well sir you have three thieves to deal with, then you have to meet with new mayor of Apple Looser. Then inspect the guards for the monthly inspection checking that everything is order, open a new restaurant in canterlot and last but not least attend Celestia school for gifted Unicorns to make a speech and teach a lesson for all the new Students just beginning." Quartz Pen answers.

You hang your head low as You sigh. "Its Going to be a long day."

In The Crystal Empire.

Spike looked out the window of the carriage as the rest of his family talks and catches up on missed events and past happenings. Spike could help but think about what he thought about earlier today it filled his mind up, it filled him with worry. It wasn't until Scootaloo called his name did he stop thinking about the future, for now.

"What's wrong Spike?" Scootaloo ask with a worried tone.

"Its nothing Scoots, everything is awesome." Spike smiles puts a comforting claw on Scootaloo's hoof making her feel better, Spike then turned to his family. "So what's every pony talking about?"

"Blazing was just telling us about the time he was mistaken for mare?" Agile giggled making Blazing Diamond blush.

"What!?" Spike looks at his son in shock. "Well What the hell happened?"

"I don't know... I mean everypony else has already heard story I don't think that they will wanna hear it again." Blazing Diamond smiles thinking that he thought of a way out of making himself look like a fool again for the second time today.

"Well ah I don't know bout ya'll but I wanna I hear it again." Apple charm chimed making Blazing Diamond's face fall as everypony else agrees in unison.

"Look's like your out voted little bro, time to Spill the beans. Again." Agile love seeing her Brother in this predicament.

"Fine!" Blazing grumbled causing everypony to cheer.

As Blazing Diamonds began to tell his story again the whole family sat and listened It was the first time they had sat down as Family and had fun. This was Spikes all of hopes for this weekend that they could sit down as Family and enjoy themselves to forget about what ever was coming. After Blazing Diamond Finished his story the whole family burst into laughed making him pout.

"Oh don't pout, its funny story we're not making fun of you just the situation you were in." Scootaloo told her son making him feel a bit better.

"We're coming into land Your Majesty." one of the Guard Pegasi shouted alerting Spike that they were about Arrive at The Crystal Empire. The whole family stuck their heads out to See the Crystal Empire and the beautiful Crystal Castle Shining in Spike's sun.

Once the Carriage landed, Princess Mi Amore cadenza and Princess Flurry Heart Stepped of their castle to greet King Spike and his Family. Spike Smiled as saw Cadence and Flurry Heart he open the door and helped Scootaloo out of the carriage carefully. Once Scootaloo was out of the carriage Spike approached the two Princesses along with his family and bowed as did the Princesses.

"Thank you for letting us stay here Cadence it means a lot to me, this week is going to be so important us all." Spike explained.

"Nonsense, Spike you have done a lot for me and the Crystal Empire its the least I can do." Cadence smiled.

"But not only for what you've done for us, but for what you've done for the whole of Equestria." Flurry Heart added she looked at the group but she couldn't bring her self to look at Blazing, blushing brightly.

"Thank you but I think it would be best if we got Scootaloo inside to rest for the moment." Spike looked at Scootaloo and saw how out of breath and tired she was.

"Of course please come in, as for the rest of you please feel free to look around the Empire no where is off limits." Cadence tried to make everypony feel as welcome as she could.

"We have the Crystal Fare this coming this week plenty for you everypony to do." Flurry Heart Explained while sounding excited.

Spike, Scootaloo, The Princesses And The Pony Guards from Canterlot entered the castle bringing Scootaloo's medicine from the back of the carriages compartment. While the rest of the family decided to Explore The Crystal Empire. Agile spots a spar and drags Apple Charm to it in hopes of having a romantic Spar date leaving Blazing Diamond on his own. Annoyed Blazing continued to trot around the Crystal Empire alone, he found the Empire to be quite Beautiful as the sun shined down on the buildings making them Sparkle and Shine.

A thought suddenly came to Blazing's head, "now is the best chance to do this... I couldn't do this at home it would be embarrassing and I've had enough of that today." So Diamond started to look for library, it wasn't long until Blazing was lost he felt like passed this house three time. Blazing was determined to find the Library alone... It took him an hour and half to ask Pony for directions.

Blazing Diamond stood in front the library, the building was massive it had two light blue crystal statues of griffins same colour as the building it self. As Blazing opened the door he couldn't believe what he was seeing rows and rows of books stairs leading up and to more rows and rows of books. Blazing felt like doing a dance of delight he wished that Aunt Twilight was with him to enjoy this. What surprised Blazing the most was he saw no ponies inside of a library this of this size.

As Blazing starts to walk through the library looking at books he stopped as heard voiced. "Can I help you at all sir?"

Blazing turned around to answer whoever it was behind him, but to his horror a Changeling stood before him. Blazing jumped back in fear causing him to fall. "Ch-ch-ch-CHANGELING!"

The Changeling rolled his eyes tired of this happening every time a new comer comes into the library. "Yes im a Changeling and im not gonna hurt you!"

The Changeling moved forward making Blazing shuffle backwards. "Don't. Touch. Me. My Dads Spike! ya know the Dragon!... The King!" Blazing warned making the Change stop.

"You mean the purple and green Dragon?" The Changeling asks excited making Blazing nod is head in conformation. "Well your Dad is my best friend."

Blazing's jaw dropped in surprise. "I-I don't believe you!"

the Changeling rolled his eyes. "Ugh fine ill prove it." The Changeling walked over to his desk open his the draw and grabbing the photo and walking back to Blazing. "Here look."

The changeling handed Blazing the photo. in the photo were a very young version of his father, and young Twilight, Starlight, Princess Cadence and Princess Flurry Heart as baby. Spike has his arm around the Changeling along with Twilight it was the happiest Blazing had seen them it almost brought him to tears.

Blazing handed the photo back feeling bad. "Im sorry." The Changeling nodded in response. He took the photo back to his desk and put it away in his draw as Blazing got back up. "What's your name?"

"Thorax." the Changeling bluntly stated.

"Im Sorry if I hurt you Thorax." Blazing apologised.

"Its fine... Was there a book you needed?" Thorax asked sounding depressed.

It was almost as if a lightbulb went off in Blazing's head, making he his cheeks blush. "Um... w-well is there I-I mean that is." Blazing took a deep breath and calm down before talking again. "DOYOUHAVEABOOKONSEXUALITIES?" Blazing shouts at the top of his lungs as quick as he could.

Silence filled the Library as Thorax was taken aback by Blazing's out burst "Um... sure follow me, ill take you there."

Blazing nods in reply and follows Thorax, you stay on the level you are not going up neither do you go down but you follow Thorax to the 12th book case along with the big S carved into the side. Thorax searches the book shelf form top to bottom muttering the name of each book before finding the book he was looking for, "aah ha found it." Thorax pulls out a purple book with a rainbow coloured binder he looks at the title before handing it over to Blazing Diamond. "here you go Blazing I hope helps you out."

Blazing grabs hold of the book using his magic. "Thanks Thorax, Im really sorry about earlier I didn't mean to hurt you its just some of the stuff that I've read about changelings is well horrible. And I've never heard of a good Changeling before." Blazing admits.

"Its okay really the world only seems to wanna focus on the bad these days. But I hope I've at least made one new friend today?" Thorax asked hopeful.

"You certainly have and if you want ill bring Spike down to come see you." Blazing suggests making Thorax smile.

"Id like that, talking about Dragons look at your wings, tail spikes and horns along with your teeth its just so amazing like some sort pony dragon hybrid your one of a kind my friend." Thorax prised him.

"Thanks but im not I have a sister she just like me." Blazing answered honestly.

"Another one really? can you breath fire?" Thorax asked just so interested about the species in front of him.

"How about I answer your questions next time with my sister then you can get a clear answer from both genders but for now Id really like to read my book?" Blazing asked trying not to be nasty.

"Of course, I've got to get back to work anyway, I look forward to seeing you again." With that Thorax went back to his desk.

Blazing made his way down the stairs to where the tables and chairs are, while carrying the book in his red magic. Blazing looks around the bottom floor and still there was no one about at all he couldn't believe its a library this big and no one's here He just didn't understand it. Blazing place the book on the table and took a seat he started to read the front cover of the book to himself, "The Guide To Yourself: Volume 2 Sexualities, by Twilight Sparkle." Blazing couldn't believe it, of all the books he could picked what were the chances of that book being written by his own Aunt, Probably very slim. Blazing turned the book over to read the back, "This book tells you all about the different Sexualities, what they mean, what their flags are, and what you can say and what you shouldn't say?"

It seemed pretty straight forward Blazing thought he turn the book back to the front cover and opened the book to the first Page. It had the word Heterosexuality underlined in big bold writing. "Really Twilight did ya have to start with the Straight Sexuality every pony knows that? But their flag is bit boring." Blazing turned the page it had Homosexuality on the next page he knew about them, Blazing knew he wasn't gay not that he had a problem gay ponies he just knew he wasn't that. On the Next Page was Bisexual , again Blazing knew what that was and he knew he wasn't that so Blazing continued on hope that he would find out who he was now that he was past all the Sexualities that he knew. Next was Pansexual, "Wait all genders, they are attracted to all gender... wow." After pan's was Polysexuality "ugh! Polysexual hurts my head!"

Blazing turned a Page and a sexuality caught his eye, Asexuality, "This makes so much sense." Blazing laughed feeling so much better about him self. Blazing looked out the window to see the sunlight slowly fading he knew that he had to leave now and quickly, Diamond said his goodbyes to Thorax and left heading for the Crystal Castle.

Back at Canterlot.

You slouch in Spike throne as yawn escapes your muzzle clearly tired from the day's events, the only thing you wanted to do was find your and climb into bed so you could curl up and slowly drifting off to sleep. But you knew that you couldn't, firstly you had to wait until Twilight woke up so she could take over from you and Secondly you felt like you needed to Travel to Ponyville so you Check on your Wife and Daughter to make sure that everything went okay. You knew that you didn't have to check on them but it gave you a peace mind so you could sleep with an easy mind.

Soon Twilight come trotting through the doors yawning dressed in her royal armour ready for her night of rule. "Sorry I took so long I lost one of my shoes, I hope you wasn't waiting too long?"

"No I wasn't waiting too long?" You yawned through your lie as you put your hoof up to cover it.

Twilight giggles knowing all well that your lying. "Well why don't you go and get some Sleep?"

"Wish I could but I cant, I've gotta go check on my Pinkie and Shindig to cheek on them." You tell Twilight while heading towards the doors of the throne room.

"Really now? Why don't you do check on them tomorrow you look so tired?" Twilight suggested sounding worried.

"I promised and I always Keep my promises no matter what." You tell Twilight.

"Well at lest take a carriage or the train or heck why don't you teleport there?" Twilight Suggested again.

"Nah ill fly instead, it'll wake me up after today?" You tell Twilight as pushing the door open.

"Okay, well stay safe Anon."

"What are you my mother?" You ask in joking around.

"Shut up!" Twilight told you Smiling.

"Goodnight Twilight."

"Goodnight Anon."

With that you left the throne and made your way to your room and flew out the window so that you didn't alert any of the guards on patrol this night. You just focused on Flying keeping your head clear, the last thing you need is getting to the Pinkie and not say anything through a flustered head. the only thing is your head has other plans and you just couldn't help yourself but think about where you are right now in life, you just didn't image your life like this it was crazy but some how you lived through it; barely. You knew what ever had control of Rarity all those years ago wasn't done and soon you and Spike will be back to back fighting off whatever was behind all of that chaos and mayhem.

Before you knew it you had arrived at Ponyville and was close to the Hospital, you soon landed out side the Hospital before knocking you take a deep breath clearing your thoughts and nerves. reaching out you knock on the doors rapidly loud, hoping some pony would come quickly. You waited a minute or two but still no pony came, annoyed you knocked again with the same speed and intensity of noise knocking as last time causing a loud and irritating sound. You stopped knocking hearing the door unlocking, a female put her head the gap of the was open, it was the same nurse whose been treating your Wife (Nurse Justice).

"Who Spike's name is up-;" Nurse Justice stop talking seeing that it was you standing there. "Your Highness im sorry but what is meaning of this noise?"

You could tell she was annoyed but she kept her cool not wanting to offend you, but you was to tired to be subtle so came straight to the point of your visit. "I need to see my Wife."

"What now?" Nurse Justice asks confused.

"Yes now I have to see her now!" Your tone was strong and serious letting the Nurse know you wasn't kidding.

"Yes o-of course your Highness, please don't take too long and could you teleport out of here saving me the trouble of letting you back out?" The Nurse asked tired.

"Ill be sure to do just that." you tell her giving her the comforting feeling of know that she doesn't have to get out of bed again.

"Well come in then?" You thank her as you trot inside hearing the nurse lock the door behind you.

You head to Pinkie room, seeing the Hospital so dark gave you the spooks like being in some horror story, where the Zomponies awake from the Morgue and chase me down only to find the last survivor. Then the two of you would become a team and hunt Zomponies down to only finding a cure by accident that save the world and makes us heroes. "I've got to stop reading Steven Prince books before bed" you think to yourself while silently giggling.

It wasn't long before you got to your Wife's room and open the door to see her sleeping soundly. you sit in the chair next to her bed watching sleep soundly meant you could sleep soundly knowing she was fine. "Im sorry I couldn't be there today," you whisper, "you see im running Equestria on my own but I hope you and Shindig had some fun. I Love you Pinkie so much. I don't think I can go on living without you, but I will for Shindig's sake." You wipe the tears away giving Pinkie a long kiss on the forehead before teleporting away, once you were gone Pinkie whispers. "I love you too Anon."

Shindig layed down in bed ready to go a sleep that was before her stomach rumbled begging to be filled with food. Shindig tried to ignore it but her stomach only got louder and louder until she groaned and finally gave in. Shindig made her way down the stairs past the front of the shop and into the kitchen. Shindig turned the light on about to make her way over to the fridge until you appear scaring Shindig making her scream and throw a plate at you use her magic, you duck just in time letting plate go over your head smashing into the wall at the side of you.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Shindig screams put a hoof on her chest feeling her heart beat fast.

"Good to see you too." You reply joking around.

"IM NOT MESSING AROUND!" Shindig shouts at the top of her lungs angry at her Father.

"Ok, ok, ok, but could you lower your voice a tad?" You ask whispering.

"GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY?!" Shindig glares at you.

"Well your gonna wake up the whole of Equestria that's a good enough reason I think?" You tell her slightly annoyed.

"Fine!" Shindig huffed.

Once you had calmed your daughter down you finally started to tell her why you were there and that you had just visit Pinkie yourself. So Shindig started to make a cup of tea as they discussed their days. With shindig telling her Father about her trip to visit her Mother in Hospital and You telling Shindig all about your day.

Back At The Crystal Empire

Spike stood on the balcony and looked up at the stars he thought about all of his lost friends and he could feel something was wrong. Spike always knew the fighting wasn't over but he could feel it come closer like how you could feel a storm coming, it Scared Spike but he knew he had to protect his family that was his first priority. "If this Master, this colt think its gonna be easy he has another thing coming."

Spike heard the door open, he turned around to see Cadence standing there with a worried look on her face "You can feel as well?" Spike nodded in reply confirming Cadence's worst fears "Dark Magic is at work tonight and its gonna be bigger then all of us, you cant fight this one alone."

"If I don't then who will?" Spike asks.

"We all will together." Cadence answers reassuringly.

Spike had fix in his had Equestria was his and no pony else's Problem."No. I was given this role and I will do it on my own. I've stopped all those who have come before. I can stop who ever coming next. im going to bed goodnight Auntie."

Spike left Cadence alone on the balcony. "I hope so Spike, I hope so."
