After stopping to get some food, Twilight, Sunset, and I entered my home.

“This is a nice place.” Twilight said.

“Thank you kindly, Twilight. Let me get some plates and we can eat.” I said moving to the kitchen while Sunset and Twilight heading for the dining room.

Once we had started eating, Twilight spoke up.

“Talisman, I want to thank you for helping Sunset when she needed it most.” She said, causing the aforementioned girl to blush.

I smiled. “It wasn’t a problem. I figured that if I could make a difference in at least one life, I am doing pretty good.”

Twilight smiled before sighing. “So what are we going to do about the girls? I hate to bring it up, but with you six being the Elements of Harmony on this side of the mirror, any disharmony will unfortunately leave this world vulnerable.” She said.

“I spoke with Applejack this morning after she left the police station. I told her in no uncertain terms that all five of them have to give Sunset an honest heartfelt apology, because quite frankly they really messed up.” I explained. “Applejack will contact me to set up a meeting in a neutral, public place and we will meet them. But it will be up to Sunset to accept or not.”

Twilight nodded. “I hope you can work things out, but I know that this world does not run on Friendship and Harmony like Equestria does.” She said morosely.

Sunset and I snorted. “Ain’t that the truth. Humans run off of chaos and bloodshed it seems, no matter what world.” I said.

Twilight look at me quizzically and I gave her the basic rundown of how I got to this world.

“I see. So what will you do here?” She asked.

“Not sure. Though since I have more money than I will probably be able to spend, I might do something I have always wanted to do.” I replied.

“What’s that?” Sunset asked.

“Open a bookstore. Not a small one, but also not one of those national chain ones. Someplace that is inviting and cozy, the way a bookstore should be. Maybe have a small local coffee shop in it so people can get coffee and tea while they read their purchases.” I replied.

“That sounds awesome. When would you open it?” Sunset asked, eyes alight.

“Probably open after we graduate. That lets me save up more money from interest and my investments that I can use as capital. It would also allow me to not have to get a loan to get the business started.” I replied. “Damn bankers can be as bad as the revenue people if you can’t make your payments because business is slow.”

The girls laughed at that.

Later that evening we took Twilight back to the school.

“Sorry I caused a panic.” She said as we stood in front of the statue that contained contained the portal.

Sunset shook her head. “You were worried for your friends Twilight. You were also angry that the situation pushed me to almost make a mistake.” She said looking at me with a smile that I returned easily. “We will get things figured out. They hurt me, but the girls were my first real friends. It will take time, but I want to fix things. I miss what we had.”

Twilight smiled and gave Sunset a hug. “I’m sure that everything will work out. Just let me know if you have any issues.” She said before turning and giving me a hug.

“Thank you for saving her Talisman. I don’t know what I would have done if she had succeeded.” She said quietly.

“Probably something very emotional that you would regret. But it wasn’t a problem for me. I saw someone that was hurting something fierce and couldn’t just leave her to that.” I said squeezing the princess tightly. “Take care of yourself Twilight.” I said before letting her loose with a smile.

Twilight smiled at the both of us and stepped through the portal.

Sunset and I stood there watching the portal for a moment before I slung my arm around her shoulder and said, “Let’s go home.”

Once we were safely home. Sunset spoke up.

“So you play the guitar?” She asked.

“I do. I also play the violin.” I replied.

“Really? I haven’t seen one.” She responded.

“I know. I need to find a good music shop to buy one. I also need to find a good DJ. There is a style that I really liked and I think that some people would really like it.” I said.

“Really?”

I nodded. “Yeah. This girl was a ballerina and a violinist and she combine her two loves, threw in some dubstep, and became the hip-hop violinist. She had released three albums before, well everything happened. I have the sheet music, so I might try and recreate her sound here.” I replied.

“That sounds really cool actually. Though could I hear you play something on the guitar?” Sunset asked, a dusting of red on her cheeks.

I smiled. “Sure. Let me get set up.”

Walking to my room, I grabbed my guitar and amp and headed back to the living room.

Plugging the amp in and connecting the guitar to the lead, I checked to see if the instrument was in tune and made a couple of adjustments before I began to play.

As I sang, I watched Sunset’s expression. She seemed to follow the emotions of the song and the story that it told.

“That was amazing. Was that one you wrote and what is it about?” She asked.

I shook my head. “No, this is one that someone else wrote that I quite enjoyed. It was actually written as a tribute to a really amazing sci-fi series that was cancelled after the first season. The song centers around the ship, the captain and one of his crew that he has feelings for and she has feelings for him, but her profession prevents them both from acting on them.” I explained as I set my guitar down.

“Why would her profession prevent it?” Sunset asked.

“She is a Companion. Basically a legal, very high priced prostitute. She is a valuable member of the crew because having her on board lets them land on more planets than without. The captain cares for her, but the fact she is, as he puts it, a whore, is something he can’t get past because he knows she won’t retire and he can’t be with her in that way if she doesn’t.” I explained, summing up the highly complicated relationship that is Mal and Inara.

“How does the show end?” Sunset asked.

“Suddenly thanks to the sudden, but inevitable betrayal of the studio. The creator had to make a movie several years later that tied up most of the loose ends, but it rushed the story. Had they been allowed to continue and the episodes had been aired in the correct order, they could had two or three seasons in total to tell the story with a better pacing.” I replied as I went to my movie rack, which contained most of my collection from Earth. Locating the series, I turned to Sunset.

“So do you want to watch it even if you know you won’t get the resolution that you want?” I asked holding the case up.

Sunset nodded vigorously.

I laughed and put the first disc in.

“Welcome to the Browncoats, Sunset.” I said with a smile.
