Heaven, Hell or another world...

December 21, 2012
Being a person with dissociative identity disorder can really be a pain in the ass, but it's not always bad when i can sit back and relax why i watch my favorite show. Not having anything to do this holiday and with high hopes of tonight not being the day of the rapture, I can safely say that i won't be having problem with Anthy as well.

Prologue

“So, how have you been Anthony?” Doctor Fillmore was Anthony's doctor and psychiatrist.

Anthony just remained silent.

“Anthony?” He asked again. Anthony just looked at the ground silently with no response.

“I'm not Anthony...” He finally spoke up.

“Oh, so you're Anthy then?” Dr. Fillmore asked him. Anthony suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder, and would prefer to be called either Anthony or Anthy.

“Yes.” His responses were somewhat straightforward and without much emotion.

“How are you today?” Fillmore had to be careful with his questions when talking to Anthy, as he had a rather violent personality and various forms of being triggered.

“I am feeling... amazing.” He finally looked up at Dr. Fillmore, wearing a devilish smile on his face.

“Really? Please tell me more.” He quickly grabbed his pen and a notepad to write down anything he may find interesting for a diagnose.

“I ran over a dog on my way here and destroyed all of Anthony's ponies.” He smiled at his somewhat perverse actions.

“Okay then, why would you do these things?” He asked as he finished writing down some information. He was worried that one of these days, Anthony would get into a serious mess caused by Anthy.

“It makes me feel alive.” Anthy turned his head back down. Fillmore had learned it that usually when he does this it means he is 'changing' personality.

“Anthony? Is that you?” Dr. Fillmore asked, trying to get him to focus on him.

“Doctor...” It definitely was Anthony this time. You could tell by the way he sounded.

“Good. Anthony, I was just talking to Anthy,” The doctor preferred to talk to Anthony, as he was a lot safer more fun to be around.

“Hey, doc, wait... you talked to Anthy? What did he say?” Anthony was rather nervous; since whenever Anthy took over, he was bound to get into some trouble.

“I'm afraid I can't tell you, for safety reasons.” Fillmore also knew for a fact that both of them could talk to each other in his head, but he preferred not to tell him.
“So, Anthony, are you going to be spending Christmas with your family this year?” He asked. Anthony had a bad history with them due to his mental health.

“Doubtful, but I would love to.” Anthony replied, a faint smile on his face.

The session ended, and Anthony found himself walking back to his apartment.
He had two personalities, but he also suffered from anxiety and depression, and it didn't help much that Anthy was mocking him.

For the last 8 years, Anthony was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and this cause him to break away from his family farther with each passing year. When he turned 17, he couldn't take it anymore. He decided it was better if he just entered an institute to help him. However, this only worked for a year, and when Anthy got him into a serious mess with one of the other patients, he left there as well.

So for the last two years, the only contact he has with his family is through letters, and those only come twice a year: for his birthday and for Christmas.
But not all was bad; at least he had his favorite show, My little Pony.
He found out about this a few months after he left the institute. It was the only thing that brought a smile to his face. Sometimes , he would wish he could just live amongst the ponies and frolic through all of Equestria.

It was December 21st, and he had not received a letter from his parents. He knew for sure that they would prefer him dead than existent. That way, they didn't have to send him anything. But by the looks of this year, they had apparently forgotten about him. At least he knew they would be happy, and that made him feel good.

'Hey, I hope you like the surprise I left you.' Anthy just grinned as Anthony headed into his room. Anthony gasped in horror as he found all of his pony toys dismembered, burnt, and overall destroyed.

“What the hell? Why!” Anthony yelled out even though the person he was talking to was in his head.

'What? You can't expect me to just feel comfortable around all this gay-ass pony stuff; you're supposed to be a man, not some namby-pamby no-life looser that watches shows for little girls.' He simply laughed at his work as Anthony knelt down to grab the leftovers of his happiness.

'But it's what makes me happy...' Tears started to form around his eyes. Memories of all the horrible stuff Anthy has done started to come back, but none of them compared to this. Suddenly, Anthony froze.This meant he went into some form of trance, Anthy talking inside his head as if he was just another person.

“I'm sick and tired of your shit Anthy! This is the last thing I tolerate from you!” Anthony shouted out. Anthy was just a few feet away from him, grinning like a maniac.

'What are you going to do? Kick my ass? Go ahead! Come at me bro!' Anthy said, spreading his arms apart as if he were inviting Anthony to give him a hug.

"That's exactly what I plan!" Anthony started running at him, ready to to strike first, but before he even had the chance to, Anthy attacked first with a kick plastered directly on his nose.

“Not so manly, I see.That show turned you into a total wuss.” Anthy said, wiping his hands in a sign of victory.
Back in the real world, Anthony's phone started to ring, causing him to snap back to his physical body. His nose was bleeding, which was strange; nothing that happened in his mind ever affected him in real life. He simply grabbed some paper and jammed it in his nostrils. The thing with Anthy was that on the rare occasion that he had actual control of the body, hell broke loose

“Hello?” Anthony greeted as he finished putting the pieces of paper in his nose.

“Hey, Anthony! How are you, bro?” It was one of Anthony's few friends. Sadly, he was a bit of a smoker, and would often call him when he was high.

“S'up Dylan, where are you?” Anthony didn't really like to talk to him, but it was the only social interaction he had with friends.

“No fucking clue man. Hey, you wanna come?” He asked, defiantly high as hell.

“No thanks, I'm a bit tired. I think I’m going to sleep already,” Anthony replied. It had been a long, suckish day, and now all he wanted was to sleep.

“That's fine, man; I'll just hang here with this weird-ass clown dude,” Dylan said, before hanging up his phone. How he was still alive, Anthony had no clue, but he didn't wish for it.

“Only 4 more days 'till Christmas twenty-twelve... How I wish the Mayans would have been right about the end of the world...” Anthony thought as he rested his head on his pillow before drifting off to sleep.

“If I you could choose where to spend eternity..." He sighed. "I would pick Ponyville.”

“Look here... A brony.”

“Looks like we'll have to show him what we do to these pony-loving queers.”

Anthony violently awoke from his slumber. He was dreaming about that horrid day at school, the day that almost caused him his life.

But something was wrong...

Anthony wasn't in his room.

'What is this place?' He thought to himself. A white room he didn't recognize wasn't quite typical for him; maybe for Anthy, but not him.

“Hello?” Anthony called out, hoping for a reply..
Suddenly, the ground started shaking and cracking. Three doors started to form out of the ruptures, one having a rather radiant blue color to it, another with the same style; only this one was of the color red, and the last one, a plain white house door.

“Okay, what the hell is going on here?” He said, rather scared of what was going on. He wasn't sure whether this was a dream or nightmare.

“Anthony Benson, you have been selected.” A powerful omnipotent voice called him.

“What the- Who's there, and where the hell am I?” Anthony was afraid now, he had no idea what in the world he was dreaming of.

“You are one of the few that have a chance to start again...”

“Start again? What does that mean?” He asked, a little more impatient; he couldn't get himself to wake up no matter what he did.

“You have lived through the end of your world.”

“Wait wait wait, so it was true? The world DID end on December 21st?” Anthony didn't really mean it, but this was somewhat great news for him.

“Yes... but due to your actions throughout your life, you now have a choice on where to spend eternity.”

“What do you mean?” Anthony asked. He didn't know from where the voice was coming from, so he just looked at the doors one by one.

“One of this doors leads to heaven, where you will be able to be with your family forever. The other leads to the underworld where with all those who committed crime and evil shall live their existence in a land filled with the worst imaginable torture there can exist.”

“And that one?” Anthony pointed towards the third and final door.

“That one... That one leads to where your heart so much hopes for and wishes to live in. Now, Anthony, I leave you to choose. Consider that what you decide is the final decision that will determine the rest of your afterlife.”

“Wait! Just one last question...” Anthony said reaching his hand out into the air as if hoping to grasp this entity before it left.

“Ask.”

“Are you god?”

“I am neither God nor Satan, I am not life or death. I am but a mere observer of those who have proven themselves worthy of a second chance.”

“Well then... Thank you.” Anthony said. After a few moments, the voice was gone, leaving Anthony to chose his life.

“Well, I guess I’ll go to heaven.” Anthony said, placing himself in front of the blue door.
“Wait... My family deserves better... A heaven without me.” As much as it hurt him, he was right, he liked his family being happy, and the only way that could happen was by not being with them.
“Hell it is then...” Anthony now placed himself in the red door. He reached for the knob and slowly began to turn it.
He stopped for a second...
“Anywhere my heart desires...” He said, shifting his head towards the third door.
“What do I have to loose?” He backed away again and moved to the third and final door before taking a deep breath.

“Here goes nothing...” He opened the door and closed his eyes before stepping inside...

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

“Make sure he's stable.”

“Okay, doctor...”

“Is he going to be alright, doc?”

“Judging by the tests we ran, he should be just fine.”

“Okay, thanks.”

Anthony slowly began to open his eyes. At first, all he saw was a gray ceiling filled with lights. Turning his head to the right, his eyesight adjusted, taking in what seemed to be a green teddy bear siting in a chair.

“Oh, good! You're awake!” Greeted a female voice

“Huh?” Anthony said, before realizing that the source of this voice wasn't just a female, but apparently a pony female- a mare.

“You sure are lucky!” The girl said again.

“Wha- Where am I?” Anthony asked, wiping his eyes with his han-... hooves?
“Wait... What the hell happened to my hands!”

“What? Wait, calm down, pal! You took quite a blow to the head.” The filly got up and moved closer to Anthony.

“Blow? What are you talking about, and where in the world am I?” Anthony said, grabbing the pony with his hoofs.

“Well, you can start by saying thanks. Right now, you're in the Ponyville hospital.” The light blue pony said.

“Ponyvi... What? Why am I here?” He said, letting her go with a confused look on his face.

“Yeah, well , I was playing my lyre in the park when all of a sudden, you fell from the sky, hitting a tree, a bench, and the floor along the way.” She explained what had happened to him.

“Wait... so you mean to tell me I'm in Ponyville, in the hospital, and that I am a pony?” Anthony said, turning to look at her. She wore a confused expression, probably due to my last statement, but slowly nodded in confirmation of them.

“So... What's your name?” She asked.

“My name?” Crap, think fast! Maybe you can use your oc pony name from Earth.
“It's Nova Ignis. And what's your name?” Anthony said, stretching his hoof out.

“My name is Lyra, nice to meet you!” She said, shaking Anthony's hoof.

“Well, I guess I should let the doctor know I'm awake.” Anthony said, breaking the hoof shake.

“Yeah, that would be a good idea.” Lyra replied, smiling at him.
Anthony took some time to try and get used to the idea of not being a human anymore. Despite the whole idea that he was where he once dreamed to be in, there was something that bothered him.
–
“Thanks.” Anthony said before heading out the hospital door.

“Wait, you forgot your belongings!” A nurse called out, holding a saddlebag.

“Huh? This is mine?” Anthony said, grabbing the bag with a confused look on his face.

“Yeah, you were wearing it when you came in.” The nurse told him.

“Oh, okay. Thank you.”

Anthony quickly opened the bag. Inside there was a scroll, a smaller bag, and a little box.
Anthony grabbed the scroll and started reading it.

Dear Anthony,
Live happy, and don't let the same problems from the previous world affect you again. You were given this chance along many others to fulfill your dreams and have a chance to spend your next life where it would truly make you happy. In the bag you'll find some money so you can survive until you get a stable job. The box is a little personal gift.

Sincerely,
The Observer.

Anthony smiled a bit before putting the scroll back and hanging the saddle bag on his back.
When he was done, he noticed Lyra walking out of the hospital.

“Hey, Lyra!” Anthony said, running up to her." At least he knew this pony from the show.

“Why, hey there, Ignis! Good to see they let you out quick.” She said, turning to face him.

“I was wondering, since you DID save me and all, would you like to go and grab something to eat?” Anthony asked her, blushing a bit. Only once in his life had he asked a girl out, and it didn't work out so well.

“What? You mean as a date?” She questioned him with a puzzled look on her face.

“No, just as a 'thank you for saving me' sign.” He said, chocking a bit on his words. She seemed to be caught in thought before saying,

“Sure.”

Unwanted Company

Chapter 1: Unwanted Company

Lyra and Nova headed to a cafe that was nearby, soon after their arrival we were seated on one of the tables that was outside, it was okay, all Nova wanted was to eat something.
After a few minutes they had ordered their desired dishes and were left to talk.

“So...” Nova was the first to break the silence none of them had really said anything on our way here.

“So... Where are you from?” Lyra asked looking at him with wonder.

“Um...” He wasn't quite sure how to approach the answer, he can't just go all out and say that he is from a totally different world, that would only make him sound crazy.

“I'm from... Canterlot!” Nova said, Canterlot being the first thing he thought off.

“Really? You're from Canterlot?” She asked to make sure she heard right.

“Yeah, why so amazed?” He asked smiling at her.

“No I mean it's just strange, not many pegasi live there.” She said taking a sip from her beverage that the waiter had just brought them. It wasn't until this moment that Nova really noticed what colors or race he was, he took a quick peek at himself and noticed he was dark blue with a long spiky tail that was green with purple, he quickly liked it since he really looked like my OC.

“Yeah well that's mainly why I moved here, those ponies were too fancy for my tastes.” Nova knew he might as well lie about the cause.

“Same here.” She said turning to look at him. “Can I ask you something else?”

“Sure, go ahead.” He said taking a quick sip of his drink.

“What is you're cutie mark supposed to represent?” She said pointing at it with one of her hoof, he barely noticed it himself but it appeared to be those ancient Greek theater masks from the plays and all that.

“Um that thing... It represents... um...” Think fast retard. “To be honest I don't quite remember, I guess that fall did affect me after all.” he laughed weakly unsure of what to say about it, he had no idea he would even have one right off the bat.

“Oh well, I guess you'll remember later.” Right as she finished the waiter came back with their food, it was being held by his horn, he ordered the only thing that seemed appetizing, a simple daisy sandwich.

The rest of the time they spent eating went by rather slow and silent, none of them talked until they were done. They got up, Nova reached into his saddlebag and grabbed the required bits to pay for the food, after that they were out of the cafe.

“Thank you again, for saving me.” Nova said as they both stood outside unsure of what to do.

“No problem, I'm sure any other pony in this town would've done the same.” She said smiling. “Anyway where are you staying? I mean considering you're new in town.”

“To be honest, I don't have anywhere to stay, I was actually planning on staying up all today look for a good place to settle down.” Nova said this also being a lie as he had no idea where to even look for a house and how much one would even cost to rent.

Lyra just stayed silent as she seemed to be thinking for a minute before finally speaking out.

“Well if you want... You could maybe; I don't know spend the necessary time at my place.” She seemed to be blushing slightly but he didn't give much importance.

“Do you mean it?” He asked her.

“Yeah. No problem what so ever.” She assured him, I just did what felt natural yet I haven't done it in years, I walked up to her and gave her a quick hug she didn't freak out which was great.

“Well first there are a few things I have to do.” She said as they broke the hug.

“No problem in fact I'm willing to help if you need it.” Nova said smiling at how well things were going so far.

“Okay, first stop is the market, I’ve got to pick up a few things.” She said turning around and getting ready to walk he simply nodded and followed her.

Everything was going fine they made various stops throughout all Ponyville which was a huge bonus for Nova that way he could get to know the place when he actually started living by himself, so far both of them had passed the library and what Nova could guess was Rarity's boutique.

“And... Done, this was the last stop for the day, time to head to my home.” Lyra said as she walked out a herbal store turning around to look at Nova

“Nova? You okay?” She waved her hoof in front of me but I didn't react.

“YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH PIECE OF SHIT!” Anthy said as he kicked Anthony to the ground, he had forgotten about him and was sure he wouldn't come with him.
“Out of all the fucking places you knew, you chose this fucking pony-infested world.” He said pinning Nova down to the floor.

“Get the hell off me!” he said trying to break free.

“Oh you want to get up? LET ME HELP YOU!” He then threw Nova across from where he was with his magic which he had just only noticed until he got up, if he was dangerous before, now with magic? Nova also noticed he looked like him, only difference being he had a dark red coat instead of a dark blue one like him.

“Why man? Why the fuck would you be such a PUSSY and choose this world?” He asked Nova, he was really pissed.

“It may not mean anything to you but understand, I don’t plan on stopping at all, I want this shit forever man.” Nova replied wiping his lip which had started bleeding from the kick.

“Can’t you see? I’m easily bothered by the system one step from lashing at you. ” Nova quickly flew over to him rather fast actually and grabbed him by the neck before lifting him from the ground.

“I want a normal life like a new born child, I am a lover hater, I am an instigator, you are an oversight, don’t try to compromise, I learn to love to hate you, I am not integrated!” He don't know where he got the strength to talk to Anthy like that but he wasn't going to let him mess up what had barely started.

He used his rear hoofs to kick Nova directly in the stomach, causing him to release him instantly.

“If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down.” He said using his magic to engulf Nova and smash me into the ground. “If you feel so angry, so ripped off, so stepped on.” He continued his combo of hits and magic attacks before sending him across from where he stood. “You're not the only one refusing to back down you're not the only one ,so get up.” Nova stood up, slowly, but surely, on his two hind legs.

“Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show?” Nova asked, teasing him so he would make the first move.

“Agony is the price that you’ll pay in the end...” He teleported right in front of Nova, but he was quick enough to lay the first move by knocking him down

“Now we’re far from home, spending time alone, it’s time to set my demons free!” Nova said giving him another hard punch in the face, for some reason it felt good, he didn't want to stop, he wanted to end him if possible, but, he used that teleportation spell to get away but it was only a few feet away.

For the first time in his life he saw Anthy away from him. Nova flew over to him and tackled him to the ground to continue. “You’re coming with me, through the aging, the fear and the strife.”
“
It ends tonight!” He said trying to free himself from Nova's grasp, he isn't winning. Not this time and not in this place.

“I am not afraid to keep on living, to walk this world alone. If you stay I’ll be forgiven, nothing you can say will stop me going.” Nova yelled at him while he grasped harder against Anthy's neck. He was getting the message to him; He could see it in his eyes.

After a few seconds of intense pressure on both and a lot struggling, Anthy hit his limit.
“Okay… I give up…” At the sound of Nova's victory he stepped off him, he got on his legs and coughed a little bit of blood.

“I ask that you understand that this isn’t earth and that things are going to be different from now on, got it?” Nova asked him, he was still coughing and simply gazed at him and nodded.
“Good.” Nova started to come back to his senses and Ponyville little by little started to come into vision once again.
“Sorry about that, had a little-“

“SEIZE HIM!” He heard a dominant voice say behind him and was shortly tackled by two other ponies.

“Wait! What’s going on!?!” Nova demanded frantically trying to free myself.

“Celestia has ordered your immediate arrest.” The guard said walking in front of him.

“But I didn’t do anything!” Nova tried to clear up things before looking around and noticing many ponies looking at him with fear, he also noticed a lot of broken market carts and windows and other things nearby.
“Did I do this?” He thought for a second. “Wait, I can explain!”

“Tell that to the princess.” He said before turning around, Nova looked around again to see if he saw Lyra, he managed to locate her..
“Nova, what was that?” She asked him frighten by what she had seen.

“Please, when I get back I’ll explain.” Nova told her but she just ran away in shock and afraid of him.
“No! Fuck!” The guards proceeded to lock him in a police like carriage and started to fly away towards Canterlot.
“God.damn.it .” Nova thought as he sat there waiting for whatever punishment was about to be handed to him.

Faked Arrest

Faked Arrest

“You know…. I can free us from here.” Nova heard Anthy say inside his head.

“No, we’re already in enough trouble as it is.” Nova replied, it was enough with wrecking Ponyville market but become fugitives? That wasn’t going to happen

“Fine then, suit yourself.” After that Anthy stopped talking and left Nova all by himself.

“I need to find a way to get him out of my body.” Anthony thought as he simply waited to arrive in the castle. He couldn’t believe he was dead, much less in Equestria.

For a moment he started to think about his family but as quick as that thought entered his mind, he quickly pushed it out. He didn’t want to think about it since it would only resurface memories, bad ones.
Right now he had other problems at hoof as he felt the carriage land and one of the guards quickly appeared in front of him.

“Come on, the princess awaits you.” The guard proceeded to pull Nova out but not before tying his wings so he wouldn’t get away.

“You know. If you would’ve listened to me, there would be no reason to tie me.” Nova tried to persuade the guards into listening to his side of the story.

“Keep talking.” The guard simply snarled back.
The guards led Nova through the castle doors and continued onto a room very well hidden from ponies that might be visiting; this is when Anthony started to worry.

“Hey! Where the hell are you guys taking me? I thought we were going with the princess?” Nova began to freak out, each hallway there were less typical guards and more war suited ponies.

“Quite, the princess hasn’t ordered your arrest, yet. But she has ordered your guys presence.” The guard explained. Much to Nova’s surprise and relief he questioned whether princess Celestia knew about Anthy or if she was referring to other ponies. He hoped it was the latter.

“In here.” One of the guards signaled a big double door that was guarded by two of the higher class guards.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Nova asked as he motioned his wings for attention. One of them proceeded to untying his wings.

“Thanks.” Nova said as he opened the doors, his escorts quickly left to attend other royal duties.
As soon as Nova entered the room, the first thing he noticed was the princess but shortly after he saw that there were in fact other ponies present and even what appeared to be a diamond dog.

“Hello?” Nova simply greeted, unsure of what was going on.

“Anthony. So good that you were able could join us.” Celestia said smiling at the confuse pony.

“Huh? You know my name?” Nova asked. He worried about the other ponies knowing his human name.

“Well of course. I know the name of almost everypony that lives in Equestria, bronies included. Now please, do take a seat.” She said while motioning for Anthony to sit down. Great now all the others were going to wonder what a brony was.

“I guess you must all be wondering why I have gathered you here.” In total there were 6 people present including Anthony.

“Is it because we’re all bronies?” The diamond dog was the first to suggest. He wasn’t like the ones in the show; well, not in his entirety. He had all the same traits of one, yet his hair and coat colors were very different from the typical ones in the show. His coat was bright orange with yellow and red stripped hair.

“That’s one of the reasons.” Celestia replied.

“So, all of us are bronies?” Nova thought this is great but at the same time it gave him a bad feeling.

“Then is there something wrong?” One of the ponies asked, it was a girl. It was simply given away by her voice; she was a grey unicorn with dark pink hair and matching tail.
“Not quite yet my dear Amanda, you see, out of all the new bronies all 6 of you have been chosen as Equestria’s new task team.” She said smiling, this time it was Nova who talked.

“Wait, so this means that Equestria is in trouble?” He instantly became worried, first day and already there was trouble, much like in the beginning of a season of the show.

“Not in its entirety, but you see after the last great battle that there was, with queen Chyrsalis as the leader, I fear that the elements of harmony might not be all that will save us next time. And with bronies in this world, I fear that one or a few might simply get tired and want to start a war.”

“Whoa, hold up a bit. This is my first day in Equestria and already there is trouble? Sorry but this all seems too rushed for me.” Nova quickly grew concerned about how fast things were going; all he wanted was to live a normal life but as a pony, now he’s part of a task force he didn’t even sign up for.

“Well not exactly, but please realize this is only a necessary precaution.” The princess explained. Nova wasn’t satisfied with the answer but he would talk with her after the meeting was over.

“Then what exactly are we going to be doing in the mean time?” Asked another one of the bronies that was present, he was a green unicorn with a teal mane.

“That will depend on the situation, for now I need you all to follow me for I have some more stuff I’d like to show you all.” The princess said and at the same moment the doors opened with the two soldiers standing outside.
It was at this moment when all the others had exited that Nova approached Celestia to talk more about this faked arrest she had ordered on him and how it screwed him over with his presence in Ponyville.

“Celestia, can I have a word with you?” Nova asked as he walked over to the princess.

“What seems to be the problem Anthony?” She questioned like if nothing had happened.

“Well I appreciate the fact that you chose me for this team, I’m afraid I can’t join.” He said to which the princess raised an eyebrow.

“Why are you not able to be a part of this team, if you have such an advantage over all the others?” She asked.

“I can’t because I just want a normal life; I didn’t have one back in my world so I want that to be a dream comes true here. What do you mean advantage?” Nova was surprised he had some sort of ‘advantage’ he wasn’t aware of.

“You’re the only pony I know who has another pony in his head that is completely able to live on his own if you two were separated.” She told Nova to which he simply stared at her puzzled.

“Advantage? He is no advantage I assure you princess, he is a curse! A curse I wish to someday be relieved of, something that is going to continue to torment me till I die once again.” Nova tried to keep his cool as much as possible.
Celestia simply looked at him with confusion, for her Anthy was like a gift in her eyes yet he wanted him out.

“Well, I can’t change what you think but please know that it would be great to have you onboard but if you simply want a normal life then I can’t deny you that, but, do know that you are welcome to join if you ever need so. I will send you letters from time to time to let you know of any threat that is made upon us.” She offered him a secured spot on this team but Nova wasn’t too sure yet whether he was ever going to want in on it.

“Thanks princess, I’ll think about it.” Nova simply smiled at the offer.

“Well I guess you’ll want to go back to Ponyville.” She said before teleporting him; she then resumed walking to where the other bronies were waiting.

“Oh lord.” Nova said before spewing on the street, he never knew a teleportation spell would do that to his stomach but maybe he would get used to it.
He looked up and noticed he was in an alley way. He quickly found an exit which lead to the library. He had no idea where to go, where to look for Lyra or who to ask. He was at a lost in this place and time was running out as he saw the sun starting to set in the distance.

“Come on Nova, get a move on. You have to find a place to crash at.” He thought to himself before starting to walk with no idea on where to go

“Hey!”

Author’s Note: Just wanting to let you know that even though it sounds rushed, that’s the way things have to be for the story development. Hope you guys understand.
