---Third Person---

Luna looked at her sister with a scowl. Celestia looked on in confusion, as her sister gently backed up and looked at the ground. Her confusion doubled when a worried and frightened look flashed onto her face.

"What's wrong Lulu?" She watched as Luna gently laid down and stared at the ground.

"He's not responding." Luna muttered aloud. "He's either unconscious or he lost the Pen in the fall." Celestia's eyes widened slightly.

"Pen? Your Magic Pen?" Celestia asked, even more confused than she was a second ago.

"Nero, if your awake then move towards me." Luna's gaze was transfixed on a small speck on the ground. Celestia squinted and saw it to be the same bug she had swatted off her sisters muzzle not Two minutes ago.

"Luna, I know you hate bugs but even you know that they aren't smart enough to-" She was cut off as Luna smiled. She was amazed at the smile, as it was so full of warmth, almost like when she had gotten back from the Moon. This smile was aimed at the slowly moving speck on the ground.

"Oh thank Faust!" Luna gasped out, sending the tiny speck skidding away. She giggled lightly as she reached for the speck. Celestia watched in awe as the small bug crawled onto her hoof without any verbal communication.

"Lulu, what's.. What's going on?" Celestia asked softly. Her voice seemed to grab Luna from whatever though processes that were going through her mind. As Luna gently shook her head and looked to her sister.

"Dearest sister, this-" She gently lifted her hoof up to Celestia's face. "-Is Nero. A human." Celestia blinked owlishly, as she mouthed the word 'Human' out. Her eyes slowly focused on the small speck of a human on her sisters hoof, as Luna continued speaking. "He is the creature that my 'Friend Spell' found for me, and has been talking to me using the Magic Pen I sent to him." Luna finished her quick explanation as she withdrew her hoof to make sure her little human was okay. She smiled when she felt a small tickle on her hoof where he stood.

"Wait a second." Celestia said, sitting down with a thud on the ground. "The one who taught you how to speak normal Equestrian, was a human?" Luna nodded. Celestia sighed and rubbed her muzzle with a hoof as she processed it all. A few minutes passed, until a small flash of Blue brought her out of her internal debating.

"What about now?" A few seconds passed in silence as Celestia watched Luna interact with the human.. Nero. Even though Luna was agitated that whatever spell she had tried didn't work, Celestia had never seen her sister so happy. Celestia smiled at the thought.

"You Two are adorable together." Celestia watched as Luna blushed and sputtered like a school filly with a crush.

"I.. Well you.. We-" Luna tried to respond. A sudden tickle on her hoof brought her eyes back to Nero, and her mind back on the task at hand. "Right, thank you. We need to get you a way to talk." Luna smiled. Another flash of Blue as her horn lit up. "Anything yet?" She asked, eyes full of hope. After a few more seconds of silence Luna's ears dropped down.

"I know of a short range Telepathy spell. The spell only needs to be cast once, but the range is terrible. I only know of it from my early years as a Princess, when I needed to ask my advisor questions inside important meetings. I'll cast it on the three of us, so we can all talk relatively normal." With a quick flash of Golden Yellow light, they sat there, waiting for something.

"Can you hear me" It was echoed, but the voice of a stallion went through their heads.

---First Person: Nero---

"Can you hear me?" I asked both aloud and in my head, just to be sure. My response was a happy gasp from Luna who quickly hopped up onto her remaining three legs and did a silent cheer. Celestia's was more.. Vocal.

"Sweet Faust it talks.." She pulled none of her voice back, in fact she almost yelled it. I had to put my hands to my ears as it was really loud.

"Careful! Humans are small. Incredibly small, so anything we think is normal is quite different for them. Like how our voices are much louder than you think." Luna explained.

"Or small gaps that are Three story drops." I added jokingly. Luna, not one to think fast when overwhelmed like this, nodded with a smile.

"Yes, small gaps can be-" I watched as Luna stopped talking quickly, as her face puckered up slightly, in both anger and embarrassment. Before she could yell at me, I continued.

"Don't worry, were both still learning. It will be a long journey, but I think this can work between us." I say confidently. Luna's sour face fell away to the smile she had moments before. I was moved up, as she gently laid a kiss on me again. It was a quick peck this time, just a simple show that she agreed with me.

"What?! Your going to continue dating?" Celestia said loudly. Her voice shook me to my core, as I covered my ears again. I barely heard Luna's reply, but I'm glad I did.

"Why wouldn't I?" She asked quickly, not an ounce of hesitation in her voice.

"Luna, He's a human. You Hate humans. You told me so this morning!" Celestia rationalized. I couldn't help but chuckle, as the hoof I was sitting on was drawn closer to Luna's chest. I had no idea if she was doing in on purpose, or if it was a subconscious gesture.

That was before I knew they were intelligent. Before I knew what he was. She seemed resolute about something. "When I made that pen and sent it away, no matter what animal or creature got ahold of that pen, I vowed to talk to and treat then like any other pony." My world shook again, as Luna lifted her hoof up to her face again. She looked down on me with those big Sapphire eyes of hers, and I could see what she meant.

"She's right, no matter the size difference, or the communication problems, or the fact that we're different species. I don't care about any of that, all I care about is that Luna is Luna." I said, gently rubbing her hoof. I wasn't sure if she felt it, or if she just liked my words, as the hoof closed in on her face again. I was quickly brought back up to her lips. This kiss was longer. I could enjoy it more.

The soft velvet feeling of her lips. The lingering moisture soaked in them, as well as the smell of mint mixed with maple syrup. This time, I tried reciprocating. I hugged as much of her lip as I could, and moved as much as possible while still maintaining my own kiss. I heard a soft cough come from Celestia. Luna whimpered slightly as we parted, looking down lovingly at me on her hoof. She raised me up and gently rolled me off her hoof, back onto her muzzle. I found myself back in my trance again, still enjoying the feeling of the kiss. It wasn't until Celestia's voice shot through my head again, did I snap out of it.

"As noble as that sounded, It's only words. I've heard quite the few stallions proclaim the same to me before. And all of them wanted only one thing." Oh, I could Feel the glare I was getting from Celestia. Bellow me, I could almost feel Luna starting to growl.

"Use a lie detection spell." I said quickly, instantly feeling Luna calm down from her anger. Instead I felt an uneasiness radiate from her. I hardened a gaze towards Celestia, if only to make myself feel better. "If you doubt my conviction to a simple relationship, then use it!" My voice and thoughts had a bit of an edge to them. I saw Celestia visibly flinch at my words, while Luna was quick to answer me.

"Using a lie detection spell on something of your size would most likely fry your brain from Magic Overload." Luna's soft voice lulled my anger a bit. I did a bit of quick thinking and came up with an alternative.

"Then why not use an Area of Effect version. If you dilute the spell to permeate the room then-" I was interrupted.

"-Then the spell wouldn't need to focus on just you, allowing us to disperse the majority of the magic. Amazing.. Your species doesn't use magic, yet your knowledge on it's mechanics is astounding." Celestia's eyes were wide as she stared at me.

"Oh, well.." I couldn't help but blush at the praise. "It's just basic Equivalent Exchange. You have a set amount of energy to do any given task. Use less energy to do more at once rather than forcing more energy to get a better result. Energy Conservation also plays a key factor in the equation" I shrugged. Silence permeated the room, as I glanced back at Luna. Her eyes were crossed to look at me, as they were glimmering in awe.

"Those were the exact words Starswirl used in his first book explaining magic." Luna said, her voice happy. As I focused on her eyes a flash of Golden light passed around the room, and I felt a distinct pressure on my mind.

"We can talk about your new Coltfriend's likeness to Starswirl later, now onto the task at hand." Celestia muttered aloud.

"Who's Starswirl?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"Nopony-" Celestia was rudely interrupted by a bright flash of Red coursing through the room. "Oh good, it works." Celestia deadpanned. I couldn't help my laughter, it echoed in my head and was soon reciprocated by Luna, as she chuckled.

"Thats fine, we can discuss him or her later. Go ahead then." I notioned for Celestia to make her question so we could get passed this.

"Right then. Nero, are you, or will you ever use my sister for political gains or gains of the sexual kind." She asked as she glared at me. Silence followed as she waited for me.

"I really can't believe you asked me that." I muttered under my breath, although it was clearly heard by the siblings as Luna tensed up, probably assuming the worst..

"I reiterate, I will not, nor will I ever use Luna as a stepping stone for my own betterment. As for sexual, well, I'll try waiting for the wedding. But I won't ever say 'No' to Luna, especially about that kind of stuff." I said as straight faced as possible. My mouth only curling into a smile near the end. We waited a full minute in silence as Celestia waited desperately for the answer she was waiting for. As such, I just knew what she was going to say next.

"I don't think the spell registers him-"

"I think Luna is ugly." I stated simply, as deadpan as I could. I was met with an instant red flashing across the room. I smirked as Celestia sighed in what I could only describe as 'resignation'. Luna herself sighed as well, which got me to quirk an eyebrow.

"Did you not believe me Luna?" I asked, trying to sound as sad as possible. Her response was instant.

"No!" She perked up immediately, and gently shook her head. "I was happy that you meant what you said, that's all!" She said back desperately, her ears flattened down as she crossed her eyes to look at me. She even had had small tears welling up in the corner of her eyes. I glared at her, as hard as I could.

"Whoever the hell taught you the 'diabetes' look, is a dead pony. I already have a heard enough time being around you adorable ponies as it is, I don't need you to make it worse!" I grumble. Again, it was picked up by both occupants in the room. Drawing different responses from either. Luna giggled like a little filly, she even raised her hoof to her mouth to quell her shaking. Celestia on the other hand, had her ears folded back herself, her own eyes bigger than they were just a few moments ago.

"I swear to God-" I call out, only to get interrupted.

"Even after all that I've said to you, and accused you of.. You still think of me as 'adorable'? " Celestia said, slowly stepping closer to me.

I felt an underlying problem here, I almost feel like I said something wrong. Did she not want to be adorable? Or did she not think herself capable of being anything but a Princess?

"Jeeze, calm down mare! Yes, your just like your sister. Now please, for the love of all that is manly, don't cry in front of me.. You'll make me cry as well." I tell her as softly as I could. Her eyes blinked a few times, even though I could see a lot of different emotions flash across them. They settled with a warm look in them, as she smiled down at me, being right next to Luna now. She looked to Luna and smirked. Luna seemed to catch on, as she backed away a few feet rather quickly, while also tucking her muzzle away from her slightly.

"No Tia! He's mine!" Luna growled out at her sister, as she made for the door.

"Come now Lulu! The first creature to not refer to me as a 'Goddess' or 'The Princess' and you won't even give it a second thought?!" Celestia called out as Luna opened the door.

"No! I will not share him, even if it is you!" Luna cried out as she opened the door and almost jumped through the doorway to close it behind her. Celestia sat in the room, her eyes glazed over as the flashing Red in the room dyed down. Her mouth curled into a lecherous smile. Deactivating the Lie detection spell, she started thinking about how to get the small human away from her sister. Her hind legs rubbing together at the thought of having him all to herself.

----Third Person----

"So, uh. What was that about?" Nero's voice rang through Luna's head as she trotted down the corridor.

"Nothing, it's just my sister not getting everything I have." Luna spat out. She felt a sudden tickle on her snout as Nero spoke out.

"Please, don't get angry. I have no idea what went down in there, but I want you to know that I am as faithful as they can get. You have no reason to worry about me moving on to your older sister." Nero's words were full of emotion, that alone made Luna stop trotting and smile.

"I know that, from our little lie detector test." She smirked lightly. "And you can be sure, that I won't trade you in for another human. Your mine!" She winked slyly to him as she gently prodded him with a hoof. Just as the two were going to continue towards their next destination, a voice called out.

"Auntie Luna!" Luna turned around just in time to receive a very sudden hug. He nose was pressed against her niece, Princess Cadence. She smiled, as she hugged back.

"Good to see you Cadence! I haven't seen you in what feels like ages! What are you doing here?" Luna asked, letting the slightly smaller Alicorn drop to the ground after the hug. Cadence flipped her hair that had been laying in front of her face, and smiled.

"I've been doing all kinds of errands today. Since Shiny is out of the Empire for a week, I found myself doing all his half of leading the Crystal Empire. I have a new respect for my husband, as I've only done half of what he does on a daily basis, and I'm exhausted!" Cadence sent out a huff as she took a deep breath. "I came by to drop some letters of transfer at Auntie Celestia's desk." Cadence took a step back, and glanced at the clock on the wall near them.

"Oh dear! I'm going to be late at this rate.. I have to go, It was nice seeing you Auntie!" Cadence waved with a hoof as she disappeared in a Pink flash of light.

"Ok.. bye?" Luna said, confused at Cadence's sudden appearance and disappearance. She just chuckled though, chalking it up to her covering for the work of Two ponies.

"That, was my niece. Mi Amor Cadenza, but she prefers everypony to just call her 'Cadence'." Luna said, her smile bright as she walked down the hall a bit, before stopping. She waited a few more seconds, before her smile faded, and a look of terror fell upon her face.

"Nero?" She asked quietly. Not getting an answer, she looked to her muzzle to spot her little human, only to see just her Blue fur.

"Nero!?" She called out, turning around and looking to the ground. In a flash of Blue she held a Magnifying glass up to her eye and got onto her knees slowly.

"It's okay sweetie, I'll find you!" Luna sounded desperate as she called down the hallway to her sister.

"Tia! Help!"

----First Person: Nero----

I opened my eyes slowly, my head was pounding. My memory was a bit fuzzy, and I had no idea where the hell I was. My eyes focused, and all I could see was 'Pink'. In a rush, my memories came back, as my last vision before being conked out was the quickly approaching mane of the Pink Alicorn. My world was bouncing and jostling around as I kept a firm hold on some of the Pink mane I was stuck in. It was a bit hard to hold onto, almost like it was slick with grease. I grumbled a bit as the shaking stopped, forcing me to glance upwards at my 'capturer's current location. All I could make out were walls of Crystal..

"Ah fuck, I'm in the Crystal Empire? How the hell do I get back now?" I muttered to myself. I sat down, to think. I could hear bits and pieces of the conversation between the Pink Alicorn and a guard.

"Has the bedroom been cleared yet?" My Pink captor asked.

"Yes Princess Cadence, we scrubbed the walls, ceiling, and roof. Everything in between has been sterilized." The guard replied. A sudden quake toppled me over from my thinking.

"Oh thank Faust. I hate bugs!" The disgust that carried in her voice was definitely setting alarms off in my head. If I was caught out in the open with this mare, then my life was forfeit. I needed to stay as inconspicuous as possible if I wanted to live though this.

"I'll be taking a nap then, wake me in an hour, please." Cadence asked her guard, fatigue dripping from her tone. The guard didn't answer, but merely nodded as Cadence trotted into her room and shut the door. As soon as the door shut, she all but leapt up into the air. She landed with a soft thud on her bed.

I was sent careening off of her, at least I thought so. As I was sent flying off of her, only to land a few feet down her body and promptly crash landed in her chest fur. My head spun from the sudden movements and the multiple bounces I've taken in the past Ten minutes. I shook my head gently to rid it of the cobwebs. A sudden shaking sent me tumbling to the ground again.

"God Damnit mare, will you sit still?!" I growled out.

Cadence was lying on her back as she squirmed on her newly made bed to get the old comfortable feel back into it. She stopped with a content sigh as she gently closed her eyes.

Standing up for what felt like the tenth time in under a minute, I looked around, figuring out where I was and where I needed to be.

I knew that I was in the Crystal Empire, on Princess Cadence. I also knew that as a princess, she was bound to come in contact with Luna again, thus bringing them back into Telepathic range. I needed to stay alive until then, through whatever means necessary.

Of course, there is the very possible chance the Luna has realized something is wrong, and is making plans to figure out where I've gone, assuming she feels the same for me as I do her. It wont take long for her to figure out something is wrong, but what may take some time, is her inexperience in looking for something like me.

"She did try quite a few magic spells on me, I'm sure being close to her all day and those failed spells couldn't have just vanished. Her magic could act like a Beacon, but-"

----Third Person: Canterlot----

"-But my magic will fade out in time, so you have to try and find any source of my magic that isn't in this room." Luna talked to her selected guards. The guards we all Thestrals and were ready to go. "Now, your target is small, as my new Coltfriend is a Human." She paused as one of her guards stifled a laugh. She narrowed her eyes, and fixed a hard glare at her guard.

"Do you find my troubles amusing Nightingale?" Luna asked, her voice full of venom. Nightshade went rigid, as she felt Luna's icy gaze fixed on her.

"N-no Princess! I was just surprised at your claim, aren't Human's nothing but insects? Dumb bugs?" Nightingale gulped slightly as Luna bristled at her words. However, before she could take it back, another voice cut her off.

"Maybe, maybe not. Humans as a whole could be no smarter than normal bugs. We won't know until you find him. The little human that she brought home, when given the chance to talk to us, proved his intelligence by holding a conversation with us." Celestia stated, as she walked into the room, a few golden hooflets floating in her magic. "He even made a comments about magic in this world. From what I could gleam from what little I could get from him, he could very well be the next Starswirl the Bearded. He denies his intelligence, but you can see through it in an instant." Celestia said as she hoofed out the hooflets to the guards. There were a total of Eight of them. Each guard was in shock at the Princesses words, more so was Nightingale. Her eyes were wide and she was staring at Luna. Luna chuckled lightly, as she turned to her sister.

"You think very highly of him dear sister. You were skeptical as well at first." Luna glared playfully at her sister.

"Whoever finds him first will understand fully well in no time." Celestia answered quickly, as she passed out small Blue balls to each of the guards. "These are Enchanted with an modified Telepathy spell. Its similar to the one I used on him before, only by throwing the ball in the room, it will expand his Telepathy farther, and give him a modicum of control over who he speaks to. It's still in the test stages, so you'll need to watch him carefully for side effects." Celestia told them. Each guard nodded once as they clasped their new hooflets onto their forehooves. Pocketing the small Blue balls as they made to the balcony. Luna stepped out in front of them, as she looked them over.

"There are Eight of you, so from left to right you will take a Cardinal direction starting with North and fly in that direction. The hooflets are honed to sense my magic, however small. And will only alert you if there is some of it nearby." Luna's earls splayed back, and her guards looked at her in shock.

"Please.. Please find my little Nero. I'm begging you.." Luna asked softly. Her voice soft as she sounded close to tears. Celestia laid a wing over her sister's shoulder and looked over to the guards.

"You have Twelve hours before the magic residue on him fades." She told them. The guards all looked to each other, then back to Celestia and nodded. They all jumped up off the balcony as they flew upwards into the sky above the castle. A few of them started chuckling to themselves.

"Some mission huh?" One of the guards asked Nightingale. She nodded, a small smile forming on her muzzle.

"I believe this is all a test. A human? How smart can a small bug actually be?" She giggled, as they all flew away from each other, her direction was looking a bit.. Chilly. Her only solace was that she could visit the Crystal Empire for warmth.

----First Person: Nero----

I was lost.

I had no idea which way was which in this Pink forest of Death! Grumbling, I sat down on the slowly rising ground. The rising was caused by Cadence breathing of course, I just had no idea where I was any more. Its funny, how you can walk in a straight line, yet always find yourself walking a circle. With no landmarks to help with, I was blind. Looking up I found myself sighing at the craziness of the day. All I wanted was a date, now I had to survive with a pony as my ride, without getting her attention.

In general? Easy enough, Just have to avoid walking in the open, or anything that might cause her discomfort. I glanced up again, my vision focusing on the slight movement of the top of the fur. I must be close to her head, just have to follow the breathing and bunker down near the front of her head. The front gave easier cover yet allotted for quick exits in emergencies..

I stopped, my eyes blinking owlishly, as I held my head lightly.

Since when was I so.. Tactical? I'll admit I was never the smartest kid on the block, but I wasn't an idiot. But this? This was insane! It happened earlier when I was with Luna. All that talk about Energy conversion came from nothing, but I knew I was right.

Maybe its a side affect of humans being in contact with the ambient magical energies in the air, I've seen other humans run faster than others, and even someone who could jump OVER a pony. Perhaps the mutations a different depending on instinct, or even so much as genetics. I would have to think about it more when my life wasn't in danger of a pony snuffing me out thinking I was just an itch.

"Aah!" The ground I stood on shook and rumbled as Cadence stretched awake, making a small yawn as well. She smacked her lips a little as she gently rubbed her eye. She gingerly rose from the bed, and looked to the clock.

"..Two hours huh? I'll give that guard a raise for having the balls to let me sleep in." Cadence said cheerily, as she trotted into the bathroom.

*Splat!*

A sour look flashed on her face, as she stopped in front of the mirror. I made my way over to the side of her head, and used a hair to lean down a bit to see. My vision went downwards, as she looked to the ground. I witnessed something I never liked seeing. The remnants of a human was on the pure white marble floor. All that remained was the red splotch, but what got my attention the most, was what I saw around it.

There, on the ground, was a small group of humans. Probably a hunting party, looking for food. Why they where in the damn bathroom, I would never get to ask them, as Cadence huffed angrily as she quickly lifted her hoof again. She quickly dropped it on the fleeing group of Ten, and crushed all but Two of them. Her hoof flattened outwards a bit pushing the survivors away slightly as her sole went flush to the cold floor. With a sliding motion, she swiped her hoof to the side, over the two remaining humans, leaving a set of Eleven small Red streaks on the floor.

I made my way backwards, towards what I could now see as her face. I made my way into her mane again, and I instantly saw the shiny film on each hair. This mare was sweating up a storm from all her running around, and I needed to not be a loose pebble when she went to take a shower. Acting quickly, I found a few shorter hairs. By few, I mean I found about Six of them. I tied each one individually around my waist. I then made sure to have a few hairs within grasp of my hands on each side, should the need arise.

"I hate humans!" Cadence called out, as she flicked on the shower cloud. Regrettably, I had gotten used to the sight of even my closest friends dying. That's why I worked and lived alone.. No need to watch your family get crushed. And even though I did live alone, I still knew what us humans did to work together. Where there is a group of hunters, there are groups of carriers and fighters, named such for obvious reasons. They cant be far away, hell, they might have been crushed on the way in the bathroom for all I know.

My thoughts were stopped as a rush of water fell over me. I felt one of my hair tethers snap, but the others held firm, as I was forced forwards and backwards as she wet her hair. I chose the front for another reason. People, and ponies, tend to avoid the front of their hair to avoid getting soap in there eyes, especially if you've got a lot of hair. I felt her move around a lot, and it got my brain thinking again, which was bad. I kind of needed to be alert..

But why was she moving so damn much? She was an Alicorn! She had magic! My only conclusion is that she wasn't born an Alicorn, and was rather made into one after birth. She was either a Pegasus or an Earthpony, hence the reluctance to use magic, as she wasn't born with it. I'm assuming, by her continued attention to her wings, that she was a Pegasus.

I was suddenly pressed down by something soft, thank god it was just her towel..

Wait.. How long was I thinking?? I really need to watch that, I'd rather not have that as my death certificate 'Death by Over-Thinking'

"~Aah, there we go~" Cadence called out in a sing song voice, as she walked out of the bathroom. I felt her stop suddenly, and went to ask myself why, when I saw it. I almost face paled at the stupidity. The two groups I had mentioned beforehand were both on Cadence's bed, having climbed up using her un-made bed sheets. However, Cadence made no motion for them, in fact, she just side stepped and collected a brush from her nightstand. Knowing what was coming next, I knew that my position was going to go bad very soon. I quickly untied myself, and grabbed at one of the longer hairs. I quickly wrapped it around my hand, and hopped off her scalp, just as she made her way to the mirror.

I now had a front row seat to something I had only seen once before.

Cadence sat down onto her bed.

I watched in my own horrified slow motion as her plot crashed down on the bed, flattening most of the group. Surprisingly, out of the group of Thirty strong, about Seven survived. I could see them laying in between her legs. The air pressure of her sitting down must have propelled them down. They had a chance to live, all they had to do was get up and jump-

Cadence shimmied forward to the edge of the bed. Steamrolling her crotch over the rest of the group, my own ears faintly heard them 'popping' one by one, as my still slow motion vision focused on the humans getting pummeled by the tons of Pink flash and fur that bel0nged to this adorable pony.

I hung there, the images playing in my head as Cadence brushed her mane for the next Fifteen minutes. I really didn't want to do anything else, I was tired, and just plain spent on the roller coaster of today. And wouldn't you know it? I forgot something really important.

Never take your eyes off of a pony.

"Eew!" Was all I heard before getting bashed by a flying Pink hoof, sending me tumbling through the air and onto the ground.

----Third Person----

"Eew!" Cadence shrieked out, as she jumped up our of bed and swatted at the bug dangling from her hair. "There's one in my hair?! Get out!" Her hoof smacked it and sent it floating down to the ground. In a righteous anger only known by those who hate bugs, she jumped forward, hoof raised up and aimed right at the small insect.

A dark Black hoof stopped her own, as a feminine voice called out to her.

"I'm going to have to ask you to not kill this one." Her voice was dull, and monotone like all guards. Cadence glanced at the dark Grey armor the Thestral was wearing, and saw her Aunt's Lunar cutie mark adorning it.

"Auntie Luna sent you? Why?" Cadence's attention now fully on the female Thestral in her room, and not on the insect that was in her hair. She watched as the Thestral roughly prodded the bug on the ground with a hoof, as she spoke to her without even looking down at it.

"I'm here on orders from Princess Luna, to retrieve One 'Nero the Human.' I find my time being wasted on bugs nowadays instead of guarding the Princess from harm." The Thestral glanced down at the small human as she rolled it around the floor, putting a bit more pressure on it, any more and she was sure it would 'pop' like any other human.

"But why would Auntie send you out here looking for a.. Human of all things? There just stupid bugs!" Cadence said, getting aggitated again. She watched as the Thestral seemed to remember something, as she backed off a bit, leaving the human alone.

"Right, I was supposed to use this." She showed Cadence the Blue ball. "It's a Telepathy Enchant or something." She explained, as she threw it on the ground. A pulse of Golden magic erupted around the room, and was gone before it could be questioned any further.

"Telepathy? For what?" Cadence asked, her eyebrow raised.

"Apparently this human is smart, and Celestia made it so we would hear him." The Thestral rolled her eyes a bit. Cadence joined her in the action.

"Right, the Human can talk.. And I'm not Pink!" Cadence growled sarcastically.

"Sorry to say, but your definitely Pink, But I can definitely talk." A stallions voice echoed in both of there heads, causing the Two mares to look down in shock.

"You can.." The Thestral started.

"..Talk" Cadence finished, her own mentality causing her to plop her rump on the ground.

"Yes, I feel like this will be a common reaction from every one I talk to wont it?" The voice sounded almost a bit sarcastic. "Don't worry! I won't tell Luna or Tia that you almost killed me.." He petered off near the end. The Thestral's eyes widened as she realized what she had done to him earlier.

"Oh Faust.. I played with him like a toy! I'm so sorry!" She dove to the ground, her eyes pleading with the small human. "My name is Nightingale, a Thestral in Luna's Night Guard. You have no idea how sorry I am!" Nightingale said, her voice getting shaky. If word got around that she had almost killed Luna's new Coltfriend, she would be fired for sure!

"And how do you know my Aunt?" Cadence asked quickly. A moment of silence had Nightingale a little nervous, until he spoke out again.

"Sorry about that, this headache came out of nowhere. Also I'm dating her." He said casually, like it was common knowledge. Before Cadence could react, he spoke up again. "Nightingale, right?" He asked.

"Yes?" She replied, nervous about what he would ask.

"The magic was Golden, so the spell Augmentation must have been done by Celestia. Did she happen to tell you to watch out for side-effects?" He asked, his voice sounded strained. Nightingale's heart dropped as her eyes widened.

"Yes, are you feeling ill?"

"No, I'm about to pass out. Can you tell Celestia that she.. The pause was concerning, as she stood up. "..That she forgot to compensate for Magical Overlap ..I hate Magic.. His voice died out, and she could almost tell that he had passed out even though he couldn't be seen easily.

"I have to fly!" Nightingale quickly grabbed the small human as gently as she could, and made for the open window.

"Wait!" Cadence grabbed her attention. She sighed, and looked to the small human, and then back to Nightingale. "Auntie sent you out here to find him, so he must be important to her. I can teleport you. Come on!" Nightingale didn't waste time, and grabbed onto her outstretched hoof.

In a flash of Pink, they were standing in front of Luna and Celestia.

"Cadence? Nightingale? What are you doing here?" Celestia called out to them.

"Sorry princess, no time to explain. I found him, used the spell and he passed out!" Her words made Luna jump out of her seat and snag the small human from her guards hoof.

"What happened?!" She asked, glaring at the guard.

"Before he passed out he said something about 'Celestia not compensating for Magical Overlap?' I belive he said." Cadence said, eyes squinted in focus to remember correctly.

"Ponyfeathers!" Celestia said, as she jumped up herself.

"Sister! Language!" Luna said, her eyes snapping to her sister.

"Sorry Luna, no time!" Celestia's horn lit up and small wisps of Golden magic flew from the small human. Celestia focused for a bit, until she breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Is he okay Tia?" Luna's voice was shaky.

"Yes, he should be fine. But that was a good catch, I would have never thought of Magical Overlap." Celestia turned to Cadence and Nightingale. "You said, that he told you to say that?" Her voice was filled amusement and awe. Cadence glanced at the human in her Aunties hoof as she gently nuzzled him. The pure happiness in her eyes made her smile, in fact, she could clearly feel that invisible line linking the Two of them. It was new, and fairly fragile, but it was a pure 'First Love' soul connector. As the Alicorn of 'Love' she could feel these things.

"Yes, that human sure is special." Cadence said, as she sat down. She wanted to learn as much as she could from this meeting. Now all she needed was the little human- Nero to wake up.

She could wait.
