The ultimate surprise

Dillan smiled softly as he walked to his house, holding Scootaloo still as he rubbed her head. "Is there anything I can get you to make you feel more comfortable living here?"

Scootaloo was quiet before she asked. “Can I have a big bed…maybe some wonderbolt posters.”

"Sure." Dillan said with a smile. "Your stepmom said you had some at your house. I can get them for you."

“Thank you.” She nuzzled his chest.

Dillan smiled softly as they reached his house, rubbing her head more. "Of course, even with everything going on. I'll always be here for you."

“Thank you.” She said again before looking down. “I hope your date goes well tomorrow.”

Dillan blushed and smiled a bit as they walked into the spare room "So do I, but for now let's focus on you. This will be your room."

“Wow, it is so big.” She said as she looked around.

Dillan smiled a bit as he sat her in the bed, gently rubbing her head. "This has all been a rollercoaster. The last few days… are you ok?"

She looked down and was quiet for a while. “I was scared…I was…afraid you were gone…my dad is gone…Rainbow was acting weird…”

Dillan sighed softly and held her while laying down. "I'm sorry Scootaloo, I didn't mean to scare you."

“I wasn’t scared of you…I was scared for you.” Scootaloo said with a small whine.

"I know… and I'm sorry." He said, gently rubbing her head as he simply held her while laying on her bed.

“Will my mom be ok?” She asked.

"I don't know… what she did to you was… beyond horrible." Dillan said with a sigh.

She looked down. “I know but…I still see her as my mom.”

Dillan smiled softly and hugged her. "You're a good kid Scootaloo, you didn't deserve any of what she did."

She hugged him and looked up. “Thank you, can I take a nap?”

"Oh, sure." Dillan said with a small smile. "I'll be in my room if you need me."

“Ok.” Scootaloo got out of his grip and layed on the bed. “Goodnight.”

Dillan looked at her with a raised eyebrow, wondering why she was so quick to take a nap before he went to his own bedroom. There was a knock on the door. Dillan looked at the door and walked over, opening it to a smiling Luna. "Oh, Hi Luna. Perfect timing."

“Hello Dillan.” She said with a smile, she was fidgeting a bit while trying to be professional. “We…I have jurisdiction over most foal cases. I came to see if you would like to go to Scootaloo’s home to retrieve her items.”

Dillan smirked a bit and kissed her deeply, making her blush as he pulled away. "Sure, but we need to wait until Rainbow Dash gets here so Scootaloo isn't alone."

“I understand.” Luna said with a smile. “For now what shall we do? I am still new to socializing in this age.”

Dillan smiled a bit, before stepping aside to let her in. "Honestly I'm not sure what ponies normally do to socialize… how about we just sit and talk for a while?"

“Sure, that sounds a bit fun.” Luna came inside and sat down on the couch. “Are you ok after recounting your tale?”

Dillan sighed and sat next to her, nodding a bit. "Yeah… that isn't a problem. What is that um… orgey we all had. Not that I didn't love it mind you. Just… I didn't even think about the ultimatrix forcing my DNA to comply. Everything is moving so quickly now."

Luna put a hoof on her belly. “We understand, but do thank you for your gift. If you wish we can keep our distance from you and rainbow until you are ready for us to join the herd.”

Dillan sighed a bit and looked at her. "Luna I got you, Celestia, Applejack, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie pie, Rainbow dash, Fluttershy, and Cadence pregnant. While Cadence had Shining armor, the rest of you have no one to help with the foals… and I don't think the rest of Equestria will be happy with three of the single princesses giving birth to bastard children… I won't do that to you all…. Yes I want some time with Skittles. But I'll still do what I can."

Luna smiled softly. “Thank you sir Dillan, but you have eleven months to be with Rainbow before you have to worry about children.”

Dillan smiled a bit. "I guess that's true… but that won't stop the rest of Equestria from demanding to know… that and if anyone sees the ultimatrix symbol it won't be hard to put two and two together."

Luna giggled as her horn glowed before the symbol faded away. “We can hide them for a while.”

Dillan smirked a bit at her. "What? Don't you want to wear the symbol as a badge of honor?"

Luna giggled as the image reappeared. “I was only trying to make you more comfortable.”

Dillan laughed a bit and smiled at her. "I know, and I appreciate it."

Luna smiled and crossed her front hooves. “We shall do our best to keep the nobles away from you, but eventually you will have to step into the royal court.”

"Royal court?" Dillan asked with a raised eyebrow.

Luna smirked and pointed at her crown. “You have children with four princesses, you will have to become a prince even if in name alone. That will make you a target of the nobles and you will have to deal with them.”

Dillan's eyes blinked slowly before he fell backwards. "Oh crap… this is gonna be strange."

Luna giggled and kissed his cheek. “We shall be sure to send you books on royal etiquette.”

Dillan blushed and smiled a bit. "Thank you…"

She smiled before rubbing her chin. “How are you going to deal with Shining?”

Dillan looked at her in confusion. "Huh? What do you mean?"

“I mean both you and he got Cadence pregnant, surely there will be a problem when the foals are born, not able to know who’s child is who’s.” Luna explained.

Dillan blinked a bit. "Um, do you guys not have DNA tests? Or are you suggesting I claim cadence for my own?"

Luna shook her head. “Neither, I am merely wondering what you and Shining Armor are going to do about the foals.”

"Oh! Ok, good." Dillan said with a sigh as he leaned back. "I'm… I'm not sure… hopefully when they're born mine will look like my alicorn form… honestly I wish I had known this would have happened. I would have used a different form."

“It must have been Harmony’s will.” Luna said with a giggle. “And sadly we do not know how an alicorn's children will look, but with most ponies their coats, manes, and eye color are random at times.”

"Great…" Dillan sighed a bit. "Well… I guess we'll just have to talk about it when they're born."

“Indeed.” Luna said with a nod. “Are you ready for your date? I made sure to do my part.”

"Yes, I have everything ready… I just hope she likes it." Dillan said with a blush and a smile.

“If I were her I would love it.” Luna said with a small laugh.

Dillan grinned at her. "Well… I'm not sure how it works but since you were the second pony I made love too. I suppose that makes you second in charge of the herd. And that means when me and Rainbow are ready, you'll be the next one I take on a date."

Luna squeed happily and clapped her hooves together before blushing and coughing while looking away.

Dillan laughed as he smiled at her. "That was so cute!"

Luna blushed more. “We are not cute.” She looked away and pouted cutely.

Dillan smiled and wrapped an arm around her. "oh yes you are, and that pout is proof!"

Luna sighed and giggled. “It has been a long time since someone has called me cute.”

Dillan smirked a bit. "Yeah? Well get used to it cutie."

Luna blushed more and looked away shyly. “Thou should save thy complements for thy head mare.”

"Oh trust me, I have compliments for days for all of you." Dillan said with a grin.

“I hope so, otherwise you’ll run out fast.” Rainbow said from the open window.

Dillan looked at her, before smiling. "You should know by now that I have hundreds of compliments for the most awesome Pegusus in the world."

Rainbow chuckled and flew inside before landing on Dillan’s lap. “Good, what were you two up to besides making Luna blush?”

"Just chatting about stuff." Dillan said with a sigh. "We were waiting for you, we need to get Scootaloo's things from her house but I didn't want to leave her here alone."

“Got ya, I will keep an eye on her.” She got up and moved onto the couch. “Just hurry back, she has really taken a liking to you.” Rainbow smirked. “Almost makes me jealous, are you planning on taking away my number one fan?”

Dillan laughed a bit before smirking at her. "Maybe she thinks I'm just cooler."

“You have to be cool for her to be a fan. Of course with the two of us together she can be both of our fans.” Rainbow said with a laugh.

Dillan laughed and nodded, before kissing her. "Yeah, we'll be back soon alright?"

“I hope so.” She smiled and kissed back. “Luna, please make sure he doesn’t get hurt.”

"Of course, we wouldn't dream of letting him get hurt." Luna said with a smile.

“Good.” She smiled at Dillan. “I just got him back.”

Dillan smiled and kissed her again. "Back at ya, don't go running off ok?"

Rainbow smirked and flapped her wings. “I wouldn’t run off.”

"Or flying off." He said with a grin.

Rainbow playfully pouted. “Oh fine, but if that's the case you must carry me everywhere now.” She said with a giggle in her throat.

"Alright." Dillan said with a grin.

Luna smiled and giggled as they left. “You two are becoming more comfortable playing like that.”

"Well, after remembering everything it's hard not to." He said with a smile.

Luna smiled softly as they walked through the town. “It is nice to see you smiling.”

Dillan blushed and rubbed the back of his head bashfully. "T-thanks… I'll still need time to… accept everything fully."

“We…I know, and all of us will give you time.” Luna said with a soft smile.

Dillan smiles at her. "Thanks Lulu."

Luna blushed and shyly looked away. “Only my sister and past lovers have used that nickname.”

Dillan smiled softly at her. "If you don't want me to call you that I won't."

“Oh no, please do, I don’t mind, it has just been a while.” Luna said with a giggle.

Dillan smiled more. "Alright, thanks for trusting me with it… Lulu."

Luna smiled and used her wing to bump him. “Maybe I should come up with a nickname for you.”

Dillan laughed a bit, not noticing all the ponies around them watching the two. "Go for it."

Luna hummed in though before pouting. “I don’t know what it could be other than, alien boy.”

Dillan grinned at her. "Well, Skittles calls me Monkey boy, so I suppose it works."

Luna smiled and nodded. “I suppose so.” Her smile however fell once they arrived at a house with two guards standing in front of it.

Dillan sighed a bit, looking up at the house. "To think all the pain that happened in this house…"

“Yes…as much as my sister does, there is a dark side to pony kind.” Luna said softly as she waved the guards to let them in. “This is not an isolated incident.”

"It's not? But everyone before said ponies don't do this kind of stuff." Dillan said, following Luna inside the house.

Luna sighed and lowered her head. “It is a dark secret, kept out of the newspapers so as to not cause panic or riots.”

"Oh…" Dillan said softly as he looked around the house, noticing nothing out of the ordinary. The house had blue walls and a white ceiling, with dressers and tables all over the place with a couple of chairs and a couch seemed completely normal, until they stopped at a door with a chain on it.

Luna cleared her throat and pointed at a door under the stairs. Dillan frowned a bit as opened the door, revealing an extremely small room with two wonderbolt posters in the walls and a scooter on the side. "I hope that bitch is turned into a relief rack for the guards."

“While I agree, we have to be the better ponies. She will be treated like any other criminal.” Luna said before sighing. “I had looked into Scootaloo’s mind to learn more about what her life was like here and this is where she lived most of the time.”

Luna’s horn lit with magic as the door Dillan was going to go through opened. “This is where she would be allowed to sleep when her father was home.” Inside was an almost empty room, there was a bed, dresser, and some small toys scattered around.

Dillan frowned and looked around, before picking up a small plushy of rainbow dash that seemed hoof made. "I can't believe she's had such a rough life…"

“It saddens us that things like this do happen.” Luna said softly.

Dillan sighed and got up, grabbing the small amount of stuff Scootaloo had in both rooms and looking at Luna with a smile. "Let's head to the market, I'm gonna surprise Scootaloo."

Luna smiled and nodded. “Sure.”

Dillan smiled as he put all the stuff gently into a suitcase that was in the closet before grabbing the scooter. "Ready to go?"

Luna nodded and they left the house. “We shall also look into her father’s record.”

Dillan sighed a bit. "She said he left on a mission for Celestia… I'm pretty sure he was a guard…"

“I see, I will try to find out what happened to him. I just hope it is not classified.” Luna said with a frown.

Dillan nodded a bit and looked at the Scooter in his left arm. "This was a gift from him… I wonder if I might be able to get it spruced up a bit for her."

Luna rubbed her chin for a moment. “Perhaps, but are you skilled in such things?”

Dillan rubbed his head. "I think I might have a transformation called jury rig, he could probably do it."

“Jury rig?” Luna asked.

"Yes, he's a Planchaküle. A small red alien that is smart and good with tinkering." Dillan said with a small smile.

“Be sure to be careful, the scooter means a lot to her.” Luna warned.

Dillan looked away. "All I was going to do is clean it it…"

“Perhaps, but you don’t have to compete for her affection.” Luna said as she hugged him with a wing.

Dillan noticed as multiple ponies watched the two with shocked expressions, as he sighed. "I'm not trying to compete for her affection… I just wanted to spruce up her scooter so she would have it for longer… to remember her dad."

“I see, well I hope it works out.” Luna said with a soft smile.

Dillan smiled back at her as Ponies took pictures of them from bushes and from the sides of buildings while the two got to the market. Luna hummed a bit before she smiled. “We will be right back.” She trotted off.

Dillan smiled as he watched her trot away, before looking around at the different stalls not noticing a few ponies still taking pictures of him. Dillan looked over each stall before stopping at one that had some more wonderbolt posters and other memorabilia. "Excuse me, is all that for sale?"

“Gee, I wonder if stuff at the market is for sale.” The mare said with a raised eyebrow.

"Well excuse me. I wasn't sure if any of it were collectables to pull customers in for other stuff." Dillan said, rolling his eyes. "How much for one of everything."

She smirked and sat up. “One of everything? That would be one fifty bits.”

Dillan blinked a bit and reached into his pocket, looking through the gems he had before giving her fifteen gems worth ten bits each. "There ya go."

“Pleasure doing business with you.” She took the gems and gave him the stuff.

"Dillan!" Luna called out trotting back up to him, shocking the mare.

"Hey, did you get what you needed?" Dillan asked her with a smile, putting as much of the stuff as he could into the suitcase.

“Indeed, we got what we looked for.” She said with a smile.

"That's good, I don't suppose you'll tell me what it is?" He asked her with a smirk as the mare stared at him in shock for how he was talking to the princess.

“Nope, it is a surprise.” Luna said with a proud smile.

Dillan chuckled and nodded. "Alright, I got Scootaloo all this stuff. Surprisingly for wonderbolt murchindize being only a hundred and fifty bits."

Luna narrowed her eyes and looked at the stuff. “Dillan…you were ripped off, all this is only worth a hundred.”

Dillan blinked at her in surprise. "Really? But aren't the wonderbolts really popular and famous? Shouldn't the stuff be more expensive?"

“Not for what you have, if they were signed perhaps you would have paid a good price.” Luna explained.

"Oh…" Dillan said, looking at the mare who was sweating bullets. "You scammed me?"

“Nooooo.” The mare said nervously.

Luna crossed her front hooves at the mare with a glare. "Care to rephrase?"

The mare’s ears fold back. “I may have upcharged a bit…”

Dillan looked around the stall before smiling a bit. "That's fine, these are gifts for a little girl that's been through a lot. So I don't mind paying the extra bits."

“Dillan…” Luna said with a frown.

"It's alright. Besides, it keeps me from having change jangalling around in my pocket." Dillan said with a smile. "And as long as Scootaloo is happy I don't mind paying for it, Lulu."

Luna sighed and shook her head. “You are too kind Dillan, ponies will take advantage.” She rolled her eyes. “I must tell Rainbow to have her handle any purchases.”

"Hey now, if it was any other circumstances I'd be all over her demanding my gems back. But right now Scootaloo is more important and I want to surprise her with the room set up before she wakes up." Dillan said with a smile.

“We are still going to speak with Rainbow about this.” Luna said as she sent a small glare at the mare before trotting off to Dillan’s house.

The mare wilted a bit worried about Rainbow dash as Dillan grabbed the merchandise. "U-um excuse me… I'm sorry…" The mare said, before giving Dillan another poster. "You can take this as an apology, it's signed by three wonderbolts."

"Really? Thank you." Dillan said with a smile.

She looked between Dillan and Luna. “Um…I am sorry if this is rude but…why are you and Princess Luna so…close?”

Dillan looked back at Luna who was trotting away. "Um… that's a secret, at least for now until I can figure out if she wants others to know."

The mare looked confused before her eyes widened and she covered her mouth. “Oh my Celestia!”

Dillan shook his head with a chuckle. "We're just friends… right now." He said with a grin before Luna started pulling him away with her magic.

"Come on Alien boy!" She said with a giggle.

They could hear the mare gasp and faint before they left. “We need to teach you some discretion.” Luna said with a shake of her head.

"You're the one that called me Alien Boy and giggled." Dillan said with a small grin to her. "Now there's going to be gossip of us being an item."

Luna sighed and shook her head. “This will be trouble, thankfully it will take some time for it to leave such a small town as Ponyville and reach Canterlot.”

Dillan nodded a bit. "Yeah… hopefully they don't make it a huge scandal or anything."

Luna groaned and lowered her head. “They will, they are nobles, if everything isn’t just so it is wrong.”

Dillan frowned a bit before smiling and playfully bumping her. "Well even if they do, it's not like they can do anything. It's our choice after all."

“While it is our choice, they can bury us in bureaucracy.” Luna said with annoyance.

"Who cares, it doesn't change anything." Dillan said with a smile.

“You don’t care because you don’t have to deal with it.” Luna said with a groan.

Dillan frowned at her, feeling hurt by her statement. "Who said I didn't care? I was just saying if we want to be together after me and Rainbow get some time alone. That's our choice, and it wouldn't change it. You think I'd let you go through that alone?"

“Well…kinda…my last heard was like that. They didn’t want to get pulled into the drama of the royal court.” Luna said sadly.

Dillan sighed and nodded a bit, before smiling. "Yeah, I'll be honest I don't either. But I will if it means helping you."

She smiled softly before walking faster. “Let’s get back before Scootaloo wakes up.”

Dillan smiled and picked up his pace as well, before the two ended up racing and laughing together. Luna smirked as she managed to get to the house first. “I won, thou own us a reword!”

Dillan laughed and nodded as they went inside. "Alright, fine. What do you want?"

Luna hummed a bit before she smiled and leaned closer for a kiss on his lips. “That will do.”

Dillan blushed and smirked, shaking his head as he looked at Rainbow sleeping on the couch. "Alright then, and it looks like we were gone longer than we thought."

“Indeed, would you like help setting up the room?” Luna offered

"Do you have the time? I don't want to keep you from any princess duties." Dillan said, smiling softly at her.

She rolled her eyes with a sigh. “I don’t have to be back at the castle till nightfall.”

Dillan smiled a bit as he set the stuff down on the couch next to Rainbow dash, before picking Luna up and carrying her to his bedroom with a blush on her face. "Then you need to rest if you're going to be up all night." He said, gently setting her in his bed.

She pouted and rolled her eyes. “I am a big mare…and I have coffee at the castle.”

"Maybe, but I'm not taking no for an answer." Dillan said with a smile. "I mean unless you don't wanna cuddle once I'm done setting up Scootaloo's room."

Luna blushed and nodded shyly. “Yes, we…I would also just enjoy helping my friend Scootaloo as well.”

Dillan sighed overdramatically before smiling at her. "Oh fiiiiine, only because you're adorable when blushing."

Luna blushed more and pouted. “We are not adorable.”

"Yes thou is, now cometh my lady we must hurry." Dillan said with a playful grin as he walked out the door.

Luna pouted more as she got out of the bed and followed him. “We..I mean I don’t talk like that.”

"Why?" Dillan asked her as he picked up the merchandise he bought. "Isn't it easier for you?"

Luna sighed and her ears folded back. “It is but it is not the modern language.”

"It is the reason I'm speaking in this manner, my lady, so thy will be more comfortable while we have our own thing for just the two of us." Dillan said with a grin and a wink at her.

Luna giggled softly as she started helping him put up the decorations. “We thank thee.”

Dillan smiled at Luna for a while before turning his head to the sleeping Scootaloo, gently setting her scooter where it would be the first thing she saw and putting the Rainbow dash plushie in her hooves. The sleeping filly snuggled the plushy and smiled warmly, causing Dillan to smile wider as he got up putting the signed poster of the wonderbolts up right above the bed.

"Tis a wonderful sight." Dillan said with a smile.

“Indeed, she will be a happy filly when she awakens.” Luna whispered,

Dillan smiled as he looked around the room, before looking at Scootaloo and writing a note on a small piece of paper and setting it on her scooter.

Luna smiled and looked at the note.

Dear Scootaloo

From one orphan to another, I know life can get rough and I know it's hard. Even if you decide to live with your aunt's this room and all the stuff in it will always be here for you. Remember no matter what, you have friends and family that love you.

Sincerely Dillan.

Luna smiled and used her wing to hug Dillan. “You are a good stallion.”

Dillan chuckled and hugged her back. "Technically I'm not a stallion… but thank you Lulu."

Luna smirked and bumped him with her flank. “You sure were a stallion earlier.”

Dillan blushed and smirked at her. "Don't make me spank you."

Luna blushed and her wings poofed out. “Tease.”

Dillan grinned a bit as he started to walk to his bedroom. "Am I?"

Luna smirked and pulled him into a kiss before whispering. “Spankings are one of my favorite things.”

Dillan blushed deeply as he grinned and pulled her closer. "Good to know."

She giggled and they went into his room. “Are you sure Rainbow will not mind us cuddling?”

"Well I was gonna grab her too, if you don't mind." Dillan said with a smile.

“Of course not, though, are you a big spoon or a little spoon?” Luna asked with a smirk.

"Big spoon or little spoon?" Dillan asked with a raised eyebrow.

Luna raised an eyebrow. “Have you not cuddled before?”

"I have, I just never heard that saying before." Dillan said with a shrug.

Luna shook her head with a smile. “The big spoon hugs and holds the little spoon.” She added magical images as a demonstration, a larger pony holding a smaller one, back to belly.

"Oh…" Dillan said, rubbing the back of his head. "Well with my… fiance I was a big spoon… but with two of you I was gonna lay on my back so you could both press against me." He said with a blush.

Luna smiled and nodded. “Alright, we shall be waiting for thee.” She got into bed.

Dillan smiled and went over to Rainbow Dash, picking her up gently before heading to his bed and laying down with the two mares on his sides before covering them all up. Rainbow and Luna snuggled up close to him, resting their heads on his chest.

Dillan manovered a bit so Luna's horn wouldn't poke his eye, before wrapping his arms around both of them and smiled as he looked up at the ceiling wondering how he got so lucky.

Scootaloo woke up a few hours after Dillan, Luna, and Rainbow had fallen asleep, glancing around the room now fully decorated. Wonderbolts merchandise was everywhere, some of it she had always wished to get but couldn't afford. She noticed a signed poster was above her head before noticing the note on her scooter.

She got out of bed and read it before she started to cry and hugged her Scooter, happy to have someone in her life like Dillan.

The small filly rushed out of the room, looking around for Dillan and Rainbow dash before noticing the three adults sleeping in Dillan's bed. Her ears wilted a bit, having wanted to spend some time with them, before turning to leave. "Scootaloo?" Dillan asked the filly, getting her attention as he slowly sat up without waking up the others. "What's wrong? Are you ok?"

“I…um…thank you for the stuff…sorry for waking you.” She said with a small smile.

Dillan smiled a bit as he looked between Rainbow and Luna, gently getting out of bed and turning into Echo Echo making one copy who turned human and climbed into bed with the two mares as the original Dillan went to the living room with Scootaloo. "Don't mention it, I wasn't really asleep, I just didn't want to wake them up."

“Oh. Thank you so much for the stuff and my Scooter…and the note.” Scootaloo said with a small smile.

Dillan smiled at her and knelt down, gently rubbing her head. "You don't need to thank me, I wanted to make sure you had a place you could always go to if you ever need it."

Scootaloo hugged him with a smile. “Thank you still.”

Dillan smiled and hugged her back. "Your welcome, now since Luna and Rainbow are still asleep. Wanna go to sugar cube corner?"

“Will you be ok? Leaving that clone in there.” Scootaloo asked.

Dillan nodded with a smile. "Yup, the clones have a free will. So they can go or do whatever they want."

“Aren’t you worried about one trying to take over your life?” Scootaloo asked him.

"Not at all, see when I use that alien to make clones it splits my personality. Not exact clones." Dillan explained with a smile.

She just tilted her head confused. "Nevermind, let's just go." He said with a grin.

“Ok.” She followed him and had to trot to keep up.

Dillan grinned and picked her up, before gently setting her on his shoulders as the wind blew. She smiled and spread her wings, letting them feel the wind. “This is fun, no wonder Rainbow likes it.”

Dillan smiled a bit and glanced at her wings. "Hey Scootaloo, before I came here there was a rumor going around that your wings don't work right because of a disease, is that true?" Scootaloo’s wings snapped closed and she looked away, not answering him. Dillan sighed a bit before reaching up and patting her head. "It's alright, if I can… I'll find a cure."

He felt cold drops falling onto his head and followed by the sound of Scootaloo trying not to openly sob. “Y-y-you…d-don’t…c-can’t…”

Dillan smiled a bit as he kept walking. "There's no such thing as can't Scoots, just haven't yet."

She hugged his head tightly. “D-don’t give me false hope…please don’t.”

Dillan stopped and hugged her back. "There's no such thing as false hope Scootaloo. You need to have hope and believe things will get better. Because even if it doesn't work, the effort was out and that's what counts."

She pressed her face into his hair. “I have been tested by so many doctors…”

"Yes, but do any of them have this?" He asked, holding up his Ultimatrix. "A device that will allow me to study and repair DNA?"

“N-no…d-do you think my DNA is broken?” Scootaloo asked weakly.

Dillan gently picked her up and held her, rubbing her back. "No, not broken Scootaloo. Diseases are natural, my watch will let me study the disease and hopefully find a cure. You just need to have hope and trust me ok?"

She nodded weakly. “Ok…if you say so.”

Dillan smiled softly and kissed her forehead. "Good, and don't forget. If I need to, I can get some help outside of the planet."

She smiled weakly. “That is true.”

"Now come on." He said tickling her belly. "Let's get some food in you and turn that frown upside down!"

She started to giggle and flail her hooves. “No! Not tickles! St-stop!”

Dillan laughed a bit and stopped. "Alright, alright."

She was still giggling softly. “Meanie.”

"Maybe but it made you laugh." Dillan said with a smile.

She smiled and nodded. “Yeah, can I go back to your head please?”

Dillan smiled and set her back in his neck, before continuing to sugar cube corner. She smiled and enjoyed being high up. “What are you gonna get?”

"Well I'm not sure, last time we got cheese pizza. What else do they have?" Dillan asked her with a smile.

“Mostly sweets and baked treats.” She said with a smile.

"Then I'll probably get a milkshake and a slice of pumpkin pie." Dillan said with a smile. "What about you?"

“That sounds good, but if it is ok with you I will have a banana shake and a banana cream pie.” Scootaloo said.

"You really like bananas huh?" He asked with a chuckle.

She giggled and smiled. “Yeah, I do.”

Dillan smiled a bit. "You're a lot like me, I used to eat bananas all the time. Now I can't stand them though."

"That's a surprise Monkey boy." Rainbow dash said, flying to them from the sky.

“Rainbow!” Scootaloo cheered.

"How's it going Squirt?" Rainbow asked.

“Better now that you are awake.” She said with a smile, then her smile faded. “Where is the other Dillan?”

"He's back cuddling with Luna. He explained what was going on so I came to hang out with my two favorite creatures in equestria." Rainbow dash said with a smile, flying up and nuzzling both Dillan's cheek and Scootaloo's cheek.

Scootaloo giggled and smiled. “Cool.”

Dillan smirked and kissed Rainbow dash on the lip, causing the mare's wings to poof out as she stopped flying and was held in his arms.

“Ew! Come on, no mushy stuff when I am so close.” Scootaloo complained.

Dillan chuckled as Rainbow giggled like a filly in his arms. "What's wrong Scootaloo? Don't like affection?" He asked her, making a kissy noise.

“Ew! Only the mushy stuff.” She said and rolled her eyes.

Dillan laughed a bit as he carried Rainbow dash in his arms with Scootaloo on his head, accidentally bumping into a mare. "Oh I'm sorry… hey you're the one that sold me all the stuff."

She looked at Dillan, then Rainbow and Scootaloo. “Y-yeah I am..”

"Thanks again, even if you did try to scam me." Dillan said with a smile.

“She what!?” Rainbow asked as she flipped around to stare at the mare.

The mare gulped as Dillan rubbed Rainbow's head. "Relax Skittles. Luna told me and this mare gave me a poster for Scootaloo signed by three of the wonderbolts. So it all worked out."

This time she turned her head to Dillan. “Dillan I…ugh we will talk about this later, I don’t want to ruin the moment.”

The mare looked between the two of them with wide eyes before slowly backing up and running off. "Welp… that's not good."

Rainbow snorted. “Let’s get inside.”

Dillan walked inside of Sugar cube corner and up to the corner. "Pinkie?"

“Right here!” She appeared in a puff of pink smoke, belly still bulging, omnitrix logo plainly on it.

Dillan blushed a bit and coughed. "Um One banana milkshake with a slice of banana cream pie, one chocolate milkshake with a slice of pumpkin pie. and one vanilla milkshake with a slice of funfetti cake please."

"You remembered my favorite…" Rainbow said softly with a smile.

“Okey-dokey lokey.” Pinkie said as she took the bits and ran into the back before coming back with the order.

"Wow, that was fast." Dillan said with a smile, letting Rainbow fly next to him as he picked up the tray of food.

“Have a nice meal.” Pinkie said before she zipped away.

Dillan smiled a bit at her, shaking his head before they sat down. "Dillan we need to talk." Rainbow said sternly.

“Wh-what about?” He asked, surprised by her suddenly serious attitude.

"The stuff you bought!" She said with a frown. "You can't let ponies take advantage you like that!"

“Whoa, relax Rainbow. I am ok with that mare charging more this time, I was in a hurry so I could get Scootaloo’s room ready before she woke up.” Dillan said before taking a bite of his pie.

"But still!" Rainbow dash said with a shake of her head as Scootaloo ate her pie.

“If I wasn't in a hurry I would have chewed her out about trying to chest me.” Dillan explained calmly.

"Fine…" Rainbow said, shaking her head.

“I thought the mare was the one that is normally in charge of the bits.” Scootaloo spoke up.

"Huh?" Dillan asked, confused.

“It is true, normally the mare handles buying things.” Rainbow said with a sigh.

"Why?" He asked, confused. "What are all stallions incompetent with money?"

“Kinda? I mean some are good with it but most are so trusting that sales mares take advantage of them. Tell me what else you have bought and for how much since you came to Equestria.” Rainbow said with a sigh as she rubbed her temples.

"Just the cookies from Pinkie pie when we were sitting here and chatting." Dillan said.

“Wait really? You haven’t bought anything else?” Rainbow asked with surprise.

"Nope, haven't had to. Luna paid for my house and furniture and everything. Despite me saying I would help pay for it." He said.

“Good, you probably would have been ripped off.” Rainbow said with a sigh of relief.

Dillan shook his head with a grin. "To be fair, paying with gold seems like a rip off to me. Gold is a lot more valuable in my dimension."

“Yeah but why would we use green paper?” Rainbow siad with a smirk.

"Because it's better for the economy? And you'd all have more money than you do now." Dillan said with a chuckle.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Sure, but promise that you’ll have one of us nearby when ever you go shopping.”

"Fine, fine, I promise." Dillan said with a small smile.

“Good.” Rainbow smiled.

Scootaloo smiled a bit as she ate her pie, watching Dillan and Rainbow dash talking while they ate. "Um… could we go to the park together?" She asked bashfully.

"Sure." Dillan said with a smile.

“Why not?” Rainbow said with a smile.

Scootaloo smiled happily as her wings buzzed. "Thank you both for everything you've done."

Rainbow rubbed Scootaloo’s head. “I would do anything for you, Squirt.”

"Same." Dillan said with a smile as he hopped her nose. "You're family."

She smiled softly. “Thank you both so much.”

Dillan and Rainbow smiled as they both messaged with her mane, before continuing to eat. "Is there anything particular you want to do at the park?"

“Yeah Squirt, what do you have planned?” Rainbow asked as she stole a bite of Dillan’s pie.

Scootaloo shrugged her shoulders helplessly as Dillan looked between his pie and Rainbow dash. "I don't know, I just… want to spend time with you two."

Dillan smiled a bit at her as he ruffled her head again. "Alright, we can do whatever you want."

Rainbow gagged once she realized what she did and spat out the pie. “S-sorry.”

"I was wondering why you ate my pie, I was starting to think this world was more different to the show than I thought." Dillan said and he and Scootaloo laughed a bit.

“Don’t tell Pinkie.” Rainbow whispered.

Dillan nodded as he ate his pie. "The next time she gives you a pie. Give it to me, I love pie."

“Oh thank Celestia.” Rainbow said as she flopped her head onto the table.

Dillan shook his head with a grin, before stealing a piece of her cake. "You should know better than to leave cake in front of me."

“Hey!” She pouted. “It was cute when I did it.”

Dillan chuckled and rubbed her head. "It sure was, and payback sucks doesn't it?"

Rainbow pouted more before Scootaloo giggled lightly. Dillan smiled and kissed Rainbow's head, making Scootaloo gag. "Ew!"

“Aww what's wrong Scoots, don't you like seeing us happy?” Rainbow asked with a smile.

Scootaloo crossed her hooves. "Of course I do, just no mushy stuff near me! I already asked you that!"

Rainbow and Dillan chuckled at Scootaloo. “Sorry squirt, you’ll have to get used to it.” Rainbow said as she put a hoof on Dillan’s hand.

Dillan smiled and rubbed her hoof as Scootaloo sighed and nodded. "Fine."

The three continued their meal while the mare from the market watched them from afar, her eyes narrowing at the Omnitrix symbol on Rainbow's and Pinkie's bellies. “It can’t be, I need to tell Aloe and Lotus!” She said before running off.

Dillan, Scootaloo, and Rainbow dash got up from the table after finishing their food and made their way outside. "Hey Scootaloo, wanna fly to the park?" Dillan asked her with a smile.

“I would love to…but..” She looked back at her wings.

“Dude, not cool.” Rainbow whispered while elbowing his leg.

"Not what I meant." Dillan said, turning into his pegasus form and kneeling down. "Climb on."

“Oh!” Both of them said before Scootaloo hopped onto Dillan’s back.

Dillan shook his head at them dramatically."I can't believe you thought I'd be so insensitive, how dare you!"

“I’m sorry, please don’t be sad.” Scootaloo hugged his neck.

Dillan turned his head away from Rainbow who giggled. “Aww such a sweet stallion.” Rainbow nuzzled him before spreading her wings. “Let’s fly.”

Dillan smiled and took to the air, flying gently with Scootaloo on his back. Scootaloo stood on his back and smiled as she spread her wings. “Careful squirt, he is still new to flying with a foal on his back.”

Dillan wobbled a bit but slowed down. "It'll be fine, I wouldn't have suggested flying if I wasn't confident you'd catch her if something happened."

“Still a good idea to not move around too much.” Rainbow said as she flew closer.

"She is right Scootaloo, be careful." Dillan said, as Scootaloo felt the wind blowing through her mane.

“Aww, ok.” She sat down on his back.

"You can stand up, just make sure you're careful." Dillan said with a chuckle.

“I am fine like this.” Scootaloo said with a smile as she enjoyed the wind.

"Hold on tight then." Dillan said with a smile, as Scootaloo wrapped her hooves around his neck. The human turned pegasus smiled and flew fast into the sky and high above the clouds as the sun began to set, showing Scootaloo the view of the sky. Almost like a painting or picture as he landed on the clouds, as they looked over ponyville with the sun cascading light and shadows over everything.

“Wow, I have never seen this before.” Scootaloo said as she started to cry.

"It is an amazing view." Rainbow dash said, landing next to them on the cloud as she bumped Dillan playfully. "Maybe you should have shown me this Tomorrow for our date."

“This is pretty but you can see this any time.” Scootaloo said with a smile.

Dillan smiled at her, knowing she was saving face to look cool in front of Rainbow dash, as he chuckled. "Yeah, besides I have something planned that only two ponies have ever seen. So prepare yourself."

“Oh really? Then what do you have planned?” Rainbow asked with a smirk as she got closer.

"A surprise." Dillan said with a grin as Scootaloo giggled.

“Oh really?” Rainbow asked as she stood side by side with him. “You won’t tell me for a kiss?”

Dillan blushed red, turning his head away. "Scootaloo said no mushy stuff remember?"

“That's ok, I can do this.” Rainbow moved a wing between Scootaloo and Dillan’s head then she kissed him.

"No fair!" Dillan said, blushing deeper.

Rainbow laughed and kissed his cheek. “Too bad, I enjoy kissing you monkey boy.”

Dillan smiled with a blush. "Same to you Skittles. But using that against me is mean."

Rainbow sticks her tongue out. “Maybe, but you enjoy it too.”

Scootaloo shook her head as Dillan smiled. "Come on let's go to the park!"

“Yay!” Scootaloo hugged Dillan.

Dillan chuckled as he and Rainbow dash flew off of the cloud, heading down to the park as they saw Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. “Hi girls!” Scootaloo waved and leaned over the side of Dillan.

"Scootaloo!" The two said happily.

"Are ya doing ok?" Applebloom asked her with a slight frown of worry.

“I am doing better now that Rainbow and Dillan are taking care of-whoa!” She slipped and fell off of Dillan’s back.

Dillan quickly grabbed her by the back of her neck before she hit the ground, gently setting her down in front of him. "We told you to be careful."

“Sorry.” Scootaloo said and lowered her head.

Dillan smiled softly as he turned back to normal, while Rainbow rubbed Scootaloo's head. "Relax Squirt, it's ok. Just be more careful."

“Ok.” She said as her friends ran up to her.

“That was scary!” Sweetie Belle said as she checked Scootaloo over.

Scootaloo giggled a bit as Dillan's Rainbow sat on a bench nearby. "I'm fine, Dillan caught me."

“Are you sure you are ok after what happened?” Applebloom asked.

Scootaloo looked down. "I-i think so, thanks to Dillan and Rainbow."

The two fillies hugged their friend. “Let’s do whatever you want to do.” Sweetie suggested.

Scootaloo shook her head. "Girls I appreciate it but I'm not some fragile vase, we can do whatever!"

“Then how about we go to my home and try on some makeup!” Sweetie suggested.

"Nooooo!" Scootaloo shouted, rushing over to Rainbow dash and Dillan.

Rainbow and Dillan chuckle at her reaction. “Aw, why are you so scared?” Rainbow asked.

"I don't like makeup!" She yelled.

“Aww why not?” Sweetie asked before she smirked. “I am sure Rumble would like to see you with some.”

Scootaloo blushed and glared at her. "If he likes me he'll like me for the way I am!"

Dillan smiled and rubbed Scootaloo's head. "That's a good way to see things."

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom came over to grab Scootaloo. “Come on, you can at least tell us if we look good.”

"Noooo!" Scootaloo whined. "Can't we just play at the park!"

“Aww but I thought you wanted to do anything?” Sweetie asked with a teasing smirk.

"Anything at the park!" Scootaloo said, crossing her arms. "Afterwards we can do that, I'm sure Applebloom would love to look good for Spike!"

Rainbow dash and Dillan's mouths dropped open at that. Applebloom blushed and let go as she backed up. “What h-how do ya know about that!”

"I only had a hunch, considering you always stare at him. But you just confirmed it." Scootaloo said with a grin as Sweetie Belle smirked at Applebloom.

"You and Spike huh? I can see it." She said with a giggle.

Applebloom blushed more and looked down shyly. “Ah think he is cute that's all..”

"Well you're in luck, with Rarity joining Dillan's herd you have a shot." Sweetie belle said with a grin.

Applebloom groaned and lowered her head. “Ah don't want to be his second choice though.”

Dillan smiled softly and knelt down next to her. "Applebloom, Spike is young and trust me when I say. Boys are dumb when we're young. Just because he liked someone else first doesn't mean anything. Give him the time and a chance and he may surprise you."

“Ok…but I get to call him dumb later.” She said softly.

"Oh trust me, all mares do it." Rainbow dash said with a chuckle, bumping Dillan who chuckled.

“If you don’t want to play with makeup, then what do you want to do?” Sweetie asked Scootaloo.

"Let's just play on the swings and stuff." Scootaloo said with a smile.

“Ok!” Both foals said before the three of them ran off.

Dillan smiled with a chuckle. "Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity are gonna flip about Applebloom's crush."

“They sure will, think we should tell them?” Rainbow asked as she leaned on Dillan.

"Hmmm… nah we both know Twilight can't keep a secret, Applejack would just ask Applebloom, and Rarity is… Rarity." Dillan said with a laugh.

Rainbow chuckled and nodded. “Yeah, all true.”

Dillan smiled and wrapped an arm around Rainbow Dash, holding her to his side as he watched the three fillies playing. He sighed softly while looking up at the sky, lost in thought about the months that had gone by.

Rainbow noticed he was lost in thought so she nuzzled him and laid across his lap. Dillan blinked and looked down at her, smiling softly as he rubbed her head and scratched her ears. "You haven't changed a bit."

“Yes I have, I am even more awesome now, and I can do more naughty things.” She said with a smirk and wink.

Dillan blushed and smirked, kissing her deeply while rubbing her wings. "Naughty naughty, don't make me get ropes for back at my house."

Rainbow chuckled and smirked. “Promises promises, I bet you can’t wait to surprise me on the date.”

"You're right, I can't. But not in that aspect." He chuckled softly, as he slowly started stroking her mane and wings.

She smiled and relaxed in his grip. “You are too good to me.”

"And I'm lucky to have you." Dillan said smiling.

Rainbow smiled and nuzzled him. “We are lucky to have each other.”

Dillan smiled as the two watched the kids playing. "These last few months have been so chaotic and crazy for me…I'm not sure how to feel about everything all together…"

“It has been crazy but I wouldn’t change a thing, because it brought us together.” Rainbow said with a smile.

"I'd… I'd change just one thing." Dillan said softly with a sad expression.

Rainbow sighed sadly and muzzled his belly. “I know you miss them.”

Dillan nodded as he chuckled softly. "Careful I'm still super ticklish."

Rainbow smiled and lifted a wing. “Oh I remember.”

"Please don't." Dillan said looking worried as The CMC played in the merry go round. Rainbow grinned evilly before she started to tickle his belly, causing him to laugh and struggle. "N-no, please!"

The crusaders looked over at the two after hearing Dillan's pleas, giggling at his predicament. “Say uncle.” Rainbow said as she continued to tickle him.

"Uncle! Uncle!" He yelled.

Rainbow however sat up and used her other wing. “I couldn’t hear you, say please stop oh queen of awesome.”

"Please stop, oh Queen of awesomeness!" Dillan yelled, trying to get away.

Rainbow laughed and stopped before kissing him on the lips. “Ok I’ll stop for now.”

Dillan frowned and set her on the bench, before getting up and walking away. “Aww don’t be mad, your laugh is adorable!” Rainbow said from the bench.

Dillan continued to walk away, hiding a growing smirk as he put his hands in his pockets to make it seem like he was upset. “If you come back I will cook your favorite cookies for our date.” Rainbow tried to bribe him.

Dillan's smirk faltered a bit but he kept walking, as the CMC watched the two. “Oh come on I didn’t upset you.” Rainbow said though her smile had faded.

Dillan stopped and turned to look at her with a serious frown, before continuing to walk. "Oh you bucked up." Scootaloo said, causing Dillan's smirk to return knowing she could see him as he walked past them.

“Wait!” Rainbow ran after him. “I am sorry! I was just trying to have some fun!”

Dillan stopped and looked at her with his smirk, making the CMC giggle at Rainbow dash. "So was I."

Rainbow pouted before she leaped into his arms. “That was mean, maybe I shouldn’t make you cookies.”

"So was tickling me so much when you know I don't like it." Dillan said, kissing her nose. "Besides, you know you love those cookies too."

Rainbow chuckled and leaned her head on his chest. “Yeah I do.”

Dillan smiled, before the tranquil and loving moment was interrupted by a howl from the woods, as a tall blue wolf-like creature stepped out and howled again. "What the buck is that?” Rainbow shouted as she flew into the air.

"It's a Loboan." Dillan said in shock. "What do you want?"

"Please I mean you no harm, my ship was damaged." The Loboan said, stepping out of the shadows fully. Dillan's eyes widened as he looked at the Loboan up and down, recognizing him as Scout from the Ben 10 show.

"You're A plumber." Dillan said, deciding not to freak out the Loboan.

“You know of the plumbers?” He asked.

Dillan nodded as he held up his Ultimatrix. "My name is Dillan, and I have an Ultimatrix."

"Um Dillan?" Scootaloo asked worriedly as she hid behind the human's leg with the other fillies. "What's a plumber?"

"They're space guards." Dillan said. "Similar to Celestia and Luna's royal guard's but they protect the entire universe."

“Oh, so he is a good guy?” Scootaloo asked.

"Yes little one, I won't hurt you. My name is Scout." The Loboan, Scout, said with a small smile. "And I am surprised to see another matrix user, you are not like that boy on earth are you?"

"Ben Tennyson?" Dillan asked, raising a brow.

“You know of him?” Scout asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Not personally, but I know of him." Dillan said, shaking his head. "You said your ship is damaged right? How about we go to town and talk with the rulers here. Maybe we can help you repair it."

“Hmm I don’t know, I am not supposed to interact with pre spaceflight worlds…” Scout said, looking unsure.

Dillan crossed his arms and hummed. "Then how about I bring them here? The rulers, that way if anyone else sees you they can help keep you hidden until you're able to fix it. Plus I have a Galvanic Mechamorph transformation and a Planchaküle transformation so I can help fix whatever you need."

“I suppose I don’t have much of a choice.” Scout said with a whine. “I need to report back to plumber HQ as fast as possible, and my transmitter is broken.”

"Do plumber badges Not have long range communication?" Dillan asked.

Scout showed him a damaged plumber's badge that was flickering blue. “Like I said, damaged.”

Dillan hummed a bit before chuckling. "Sorry, I thought you meant the one on your ship. Skittles, would you mind getting Lulu and Celestia?"

"Sure, make sure he doesn't do anything to the kids." Rainbow dash said, flying off.

“Both are broken actually.” Scout said with a sigh. “I was in a fight and got shot down.”

"Wait, you got shot down? Are you ok?" Dillan asked with a frown. "Do you need medical attention?"

“No, my ship was damaged but thankfully I was able to land somewhat safely.” Scout said while holding up his hand.

"Alright, good. Do you know who shot you down?" Dillan asked, sitting on the ground with the fillies.

“Sadly I do not. I was returning from a mission and a ship I do not recognize fired at me.” Scout explained.

"Crud, hopefully it moved on and won't shoot you down when we get you back in the air." Dillan said with a sigh.

“Yes, hopefully.” Scout sighed and looked down. “The ship didn’t even give a warning, as soon as I got close to this world it came out of nowhere and started shooting.”

"Can you describe it?" Dillan asked as the fillies climbed on him.

“Long, with a reddish paint, and electricity traveling between two long sections.” Scout said while smiling at how the fillies played with Dilan.

Dillan smiled as Scootaloo sat in his lap with a giggle, before he looked up at Scout with wide eyes. "Wait, long, with a reddish paint, and electricity traveling between two long sections? That sounds like Vilgax!"

“I do not know who that is.” Scout shook his head.

"He's… crap he's bad news!" Dillan said, covering his face with a groan. "I had hoped I wouldn't have to deal with him. He's a warlord from the planet vilgaxia."

“Vilgaxia?” Scout tried to get his badge to work, barely able to make a screen to appear before it cut out. “I will have to look into him once I get off this world.”

Dillan sighed softly. "If you saw a red ship he's probably the Vilgax from Ben prime's dimension."

“Ben prime?” Scout asked, every confused.

Dillan sighed and nodded, before explaining everything he knew to Scout until Rainbow returned with Celestia and Luna and his clones. “Whoa, is that Scout from the Halloween episodes?” Dillan’s clone asked.

"Dimension 23 Scout but yeah." Dillan said as he and his clone both turned into echo echo and fused together.

"Greetings." Luna said with a smile. "We understand you need assistance?"

Scout blinked at the two Dillan’s fusing. “Amazing…” He shook his head. “Uh y-yes I do, but I don’t think you will have the technology needed to repair my ship. No offense.”

"Tis no issue. We may be able to aid the in any way." Luna said with a smile.

“How so?” Scout asked.

"Food, water, resources of any kind." Celestia said with a smile. "I am Celestia, this is my sister Luna."

“I am Scout. It is a pleasure to meet you both.” He said with a small bow.

"You as well." The two said, bowing as well. "Is there anything we can get you?"

“Well…I could use some food.” Scout said while holding his stomach.

"I can get you something, other than me they're all herbivores." Dillan said with a chuckle.

“Oh, that must be…tiring.” Scout said with a frown.

"Not really… Now that I think about it, I've eaten only pizza and spaghetti since I've been here." Dillan said, rubbing his head.

“I would appreciate it if we can work on my ship as soon as possible.” Scout said.

"Oh, of course. Where'd you crash?" Dillan asked with a smile.

“Inside that forest, near a cliff.” Scout explained while pointing towards the everfree forest.

Dillan nodded and started walking in that direction with Celestia and Luna following behind him. "I'll stay here with the girls." Rainbow dash said, standing with the crusaders.

"Alright, be back soon." Dillan said with a smile.

“Stay safe and you better not be late for dinner.” Rainbow called out.

Dillan sighed a bit with a smile at her as Luna and Celestia giggled softly. "You got it hon!"

“Already acting like a married couple I see.” Celestia said with a smile.

Dillan blushed and looked away, rubbing the back of his head. "You and that pony are a couple? That's rare, there aren't many interspecies relationships." Scout said with a grin.b

“Dillan is special.” Luna said with a smile.

Dillan blushed redder and looked away more. "I-i'm not that… Special."

“Of course you are.” Celestia said with a giggle.

Scout smiled and shook his head. "I am sure you are nice and all, but let's focus on my ship."

“Yes, let’s.” Luna said as she shook her head.

Dillan smirked a bit as he glanced at Luna. "While I already know the answer, did you and my clones have fun?"

Luna blushed and coughed into a hoof. “We cuddled for a while, yes…”

Dillan smiled and scratched her ear softly. "I know, you're just cute when you blush."

They heard growls as several Timberwolves came out of the bushes. “We mean you no warm my wooden brothers.” Scout tried to speak to them.

"Be careful Scout, those are timberwolves. They're made of magic and wood. I'm not sure you can talk to them." Dillan said, watching the wolves carefully.

“I will try my best to communicate with them.” Scout said before looking at the wolves. “Please allow us to pass.”

The wolves growled and barked, slowly circling the group. "It does not seem to be working." Celestia said, as Dillan stood in front of her and Luna protectively.

Scout frowned and growled. “Let us pass!”

The timberwolves howled as one jumped at him, before Celestia's horn began glowing, pulling South away from the attack. Scout let out his own howl, a sonic pulse came from his as his muzzle opened up into four sections.

The Timberwolf that attacked him shattered into pieces, as Dillan popped up his Ultimatrix. In a flash he turned into his own Lobowan form, howling at the wolves behind them as they tried to attack. "This is a dangerous forest, perhaps it'll be safer if you move your ship." Luna said, blocking one of the wolves' attacks.

“As much as I would like to, my ship is too damaged to fly.” Scout said before he howled again.

"I should be able to pick it up and move it using a different transformation." Dillan said, howling at another wolf as well.

“If you are sure you can without further damaging it.” Scout said as the last of the wolves were blown apart.

Dillan nodded a bit as he returned to normal, cracking his back. "I should be able to, but like I said. I also have a Galvanic Mechamorph transformation so I should be able to use that to repair it as well."

“I would think fixing it would be more important.” Scout said as they started moving again.

"Right." Dillan said as they approached a large clearing near a cliff with a ship perched on the ledge.

Scout ran over to his ship and opened a door. “The ship is close to falling over, we need to fix it fast.”

"Alright, let me try to use Upgrade." Dillan said, popping up his Ultimatrix and turning into a Galvanic Mechamorph and slowly fusing with the ship.

“Amazing, to think there is a human that helps aliens.” Scout said as he watched Dillan.

"Is that surprising?" Luna asked as Dillan fully fused with the ship as the broken parts began to repair themselves.

“Most of the rumors I have heard say that humans are fearful beings that attack anything not like them.” Scout said with a frown.

"He's right." Dillan said, as the ship floated above then all. "Remember what happened to Skittles in my dimension? I've always been different like that." He said, shooting a beam at them before they were teleported to the interior of the ship.

“What the?” Celestia looked around in shock.

"Neat huh?" Dillan asked as the ship. "I teleported you all inside, this way I can take us back to my house without going back through the forest." He said flying in the direction of his house.

“Amazing, such technology works like magic.” Luna said as she explored the ship however Celestia seemed to be frozen in place.

"Are you alright?" Scout asked Celestia, as Luna looked around.

“J-just a bit shocked…s-sorry I am not used to such technology.” Celestia said with a sigh.

"Do you want me to land?" Dillan asked Celestia, his head popping out of the ceiling near her.

Celestia jumped and backed up. “Um yes please, as soon as possible.”

Dillan nodded as he quickly flew to his house as Rainbow dash and the crusaders got there, gently setting the ship down while putting the ramp out. "There you go." Dillan said, removing himself from the ship and turning human again.

Celestia seemed to run off the ship and took a few breaths. “Are you alright sister?” Luna asked.

Dillan walked over to Celestia as well, setting a hand on her back. "You're not used to all that are you?"

“No I am not, s-sorry if I made a scene.” Celestia said as she started to calm down.

"Hey, it's alright." Dillan said with a soft smile. "You may be a princess but you're still a pony, new things can be scary when you don't understand them. Just take a few breaths. I'm sorry I teleported you onto the ship so suddenly."

Celestia took a few breaths and fixed her crown. “I am fine with teleportation…just…not small spaces.”Celestia took a few breaths and fixed her crown. “I am fine with teleportation…just…not small spaces.”

Dillan frowned and shook his head, as Scout checked his ship. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were claustrophobic."

"Claustrophobic?" Luna asked in confusion.

“I think that means you are scared of small spaces.” Sweetie Belle said.

Dillan nodded as he looked at Celestia worriedly while rubbing her back. "Are you going to be ok?"

Celestria cleared her throat and stepped away from the ship. “Y-yes I will be fine.”

"Alright, you can go sit inside if you want to." Dillan said, nodding to his house.

“I would rather be outside.” She said while taking a few calming breaths.

Dillan nodded again as he looked at Scout. "Does your ship need anything else to be fixed?"

Scout was checking the ship out. “No, you seemed to have fixed it completely.”

Dillan smiled a bit. "Glad I could help, Galvanic Mechamorphs are really handy when it comes to technology."

“Yes they are.” Scout said as he turned to face them. “I should get going, but I will report you to the plumbers, you shouldn’t have twelfth level technology on a level one world.”

"Then go ahead and file a complaint." Dillan said with a slight grin, causing Scout to raise an eyebrow at him before a few other plumbers came out of a hatch in the ground.

"What the-" Scout started to say.

"Scout, welcome to the first plumber base in this section of space and the first base on this planet." Dillan said with a smile. "Molly, can you help Scout here ensure his ship is fully functional? And Peteleday, you monitor the planet's orbit. Scout was shot down."

"Yes sir!" The two said, before getting to work.

“I…was not informed about this base.” Scout said in shock before he lowered his head. “Well I am not that high in the ranks.”

"That's ok, it's relatively new. The base itself is still under construction aside from living quarters." Dillan said with a small smile. "Azimuth appointed me the head of this base, from what I can gather mainly because I'm in these two good books." He said playfully jabbing a finger at Celestia and Luna.

The two smirked a bit as each one kissed Dillan's cheeks at the same time, causing him to blush and freeze up. "Hey, I said give us time!" Rainbow dash said with an angry glare.

“Sorry Rainbow, we are just teasing him.” Luna said.

Scout smirked a bit as he shook his head. "Maybe we should talk elsewhere?" He said to Dillan who nodded once, as the two walked away from the mares.

"I'd like you to talk with the other plumbers here to try and describe the ship that shot you down." Dillan said with a small smile.

“I will do my best, and once my ship is repaired I can get back to my mission.” Scout said as he pulled out a small data pad and started typing on it.

"Is it confidential or can I know what your mission is?" Dillan asked with a small smile.

“I was supposed to find a criminal on earth but I was chased off the world by the criminal.” Scout said with a sigh.

"What's the criminal's name?" Dillan asked, crossing his arms with a slight frown.

“Ben Tennyson, he stole alien technology and uses it to fight any aliens that show up on earth, while broadcasting it.” Scout said with a shake of his head.

"Whoa, whoa. Ben Tennyson isn't a criminal, he's just stupid. He found the Omnitrix and it latched itself onto him because it was sent to his Grandpa. But… it had arrived too late." Dillan said with a sad look. "His grandfather was the famous plumber Max Tennyson."

“I am aware but any attempt to talk with him results in a fight.” Scout said with a frown. “So he is branded as a criminal..

"I get that, but he's just doing what he thinks is right. He doesn't know there are good aliens and he's thick headed. He's just protecting his planet." Dillan said with a frown.

“According to what I've read and experienced, he doesn't even try to listen.” Scout said with a snort.

"Like I said, stupid." Dillan said, shaking his head with a sigh. "Listen, give him some time and he'll meet another vision of himself that will set him straight."

“I don’t have the authority to make that call.” Scout said with a sigh.

Dillan sighed a bit. "Alright, just be careful Ben doesn't wreck your ship."

“Oh I am not going back to earth, I am going to a plumber base and then back home.” Scout said.

"Oh, alright. If you want to make your report to Peteleday I'm sure he can get it to your supervisor so you can get back to Anur Transyl."

Scout rubbed his chin. “Well, I suppose that could work, at the least I could use this base’s communicator to send my report.”

"Alright, and you're welcome to spend the night. After everything you must be exhausted." Dillan said with a smile.

“Thank you, but I miss my home.” Scout said with a soft smile.

Dillan nodded and offered him a handshake. "Then have a safe trip, and if you're ever in the area remember you have allies here."

Scout smiled and shook his hand. “And if you ever find yourself in the Anur Transyl system you can count on me as an ally.”

"I appreciate it, I'm sorry to go but I have a date to prepare for. Just talk to Peteleday and he'll help you use the communicator and get you some food. I know you said you were hungry before." Dillan said with a smile as he started to walk away.

“Thank you.” Scout said before he left to find the named plumber.

Dillan smiled a bit as he went back over to Rainbow dash and the princesses. "Are you done being angry?" He asked Rainbow Dash

“I wasn’t angry…just a little upset.” Rainbow said with a pout.

Dillan smiles and knelt down. "Oh? Then how about I make you happy again? How about instead of waiting till tomorrow we go on our date now?"

Rainbow’s ears perk. “Really? B-but I am not ready!” She said starting to panic.

"Then go get ready, I have to get ready too." Dillan said with a smile. "How about you meet me back here in say… three hours?"

“Y-yeah ok!” Rainbow shoots off into the air and towards Rarity’s.

“Wow, I think she almost did a sonic rainboom from takeoff.” Scootaloo said.

Dillan smiled a bit, as he looked at the princesses and Scootaloo. "I guess she's just excited, speaking of. I do have to get ready as well. Good thing I have a scan of discord, otherwise I would have had to go to Rarity and I guarantee that would have been a mess."

The two princesses giggled. “True, nothing more annoying than your date showing up while you're getting ready. We can watch Scootaloo for you while you're on your date if you wish.” Celestia said.

"I'd appreciate it, though I would like your opinions on my outfits to see if Skittles will like it." Dillan said with a soft smile.

Rainbow flew as fast as she could to Rarity's boutique, slamming into the door and startling the dress mare as the pegasus panted tiredly. "Rainbow dash! Whatever is the matter!"

“Dillan….date….three hours!” She managed to say before collapsing to our side.

Rarity gasped before going over to Rainbow dash. "Oh we don't have much time, come with me!"

“Let me catch my breath, flew here at top speed.” Rainbow said with a soft groan.

"Darling, we only have three hours." Rarity said with a small smile. "You rest I'll get the others!" She said galloping out of the boutique, coming back ten minutes later with all their friends.

By then Rainbow was sitting on the couch. “D-did you have to get everyone?” She asked with a blush.

"Partner we’re yer friends, ya think we wouldn't be here?" Applejack asked with a smile.

"We just want to um… make sure you have a good time…" Fluttershy said softly.

Rainbow sighed but smiled. “Alright, let’s get me ready, I want to look my best.”

"You know darling not to sound mean or anything, but I never expected you would be the first of us to have a date like this. And with someone you've known and trusted since foalhood! It's like a fairytale!" Rarity said with a smile.

Rainbow blushed and pouted a bit. “H-hey, I may be focused on my wonderbolts goal but I am still a mare with needs.”

All the mares giggled at her. "Rainbow I didn't mean anything mean, I was just saying with how busy you are it was a little surprising."

Rainbow looked away shyly. “I guess so.”

"Twilight!" Spike yelled running in. "You got a letter from Luna!"

All the mares looked at Spike as Rarity was about to start working on Rainbow’s tail. Rarity yelled and threw things at him. “Get out! Can’t you see we are getting Rainbow ready?”

"But the letter says it's about Rainbow's date!" Spike defended as Twilight blocked the items with her magic.

"Seriously rarity, we don't wear clothes normally, why is it such a big deal?" Twilight asked as she took the note from Spike.

Rarity groaned and shook her head. “It is the principle of the matter, darling. He's a colt and we are mares.”

"So? We don't we're clothes normally, everything is always on display." Twilight said as she looked over the note.

Rarity sighed and lowered her head. “Darling, remind me to give you some lady lessons.”

"You'll be thanking Spike soon, apparently they're going on a picnic. But Luna says it's not a traditional picnic." Twilight said.

Rarity gasped and put a hoof to her forehead. “Oh dear, we must hurry then we have to completely change Rainbow’s outfit.”

"Wait, I thought you were going to make multiple outfits or something! Since you didn't know what we were doing!" Rainbow said in a panicked state.

“I did make you multiple outfits, but I didn’t predict a picnic.” Rarity said as she ran over to the closet.

"Ah thought you make dresses for everything." Applejack said as Spike burped up another note that Twilight read, making her eyes widen.

“I did, but a picnic is tricky!” Rarity said as she moved through the closet and moving dresses around before pulling out a small skirt with a rainbow theme.

"Um, Rarity." Twilight said, showing her the note.

Rarity read the note and gasped softly.

"What?" Rainbow dash asked worriedly.

“Nothing to worry about.” Rarity said as she got a few accessories and rushed over to Rainbow. “Let’s get to work.”

"I'll write back to Luna and tell her to send you letters directly." Spike said to Twilight, before heading out.

"Thanks Spike!" Rainbow called to him.

"No problem, have fun!" Spike yelled as he left, right before Rarity pulled Rainbow's tail and making her yelp.

"Careful!" Rainbow said.

“When was the last time you brushed your tail?” Rarity asked.

"Um… probably a few days before Dillan got here I think." Rainbow said, rubbing the back of her head.

"That was a few weeks ago." Twilight said.

Rarity gasped in horror. “Rainbow! That is no way to treat your tail!” She started to brush the knots out of Rainbow’s tail. “Girls, one of you get her mane.”

Fluttershy flew over and started brushing Rainbow's mane. "What style should I do?"

“As much as I would love to style her mane I suggest something simple.” Rarity said with a small sigh.

Fluttershy nodded a bit as she brushed Rainbow's mane, the ultimatrix symbol on her own stomach in front of Rainbow's face. "Are you going to keep the foal? I know you like Discord." Rainbow asked her friend.

Fluttershy looked down. “I…I’m not sure, I will have to talk with him about it…”

Rainbow nodded a bit but smirked at her. "You were really into that leash thing Dillan had done. If you and Discord don't work out you could join our herd."

Fluttershy blushed bright red and hid behind her wings. “I don’t think that's a good idea, Rainbow.”

"Why?" Rainbow asked as Rarity worked. "I said if you two don't work out, besides. We've been best friends since flight camp, I trust you."

“Rainbow, I…um…I may be shy most of the time but when I get in a relationship I get a bit…controlling.” Fluttershy told her in a whisper.

Rainbow smirked a bit. "I know."

“N-no I mean…I would end up trying to control you too…I don’t want to ruin our friendship.” Fluttershy said before looking down in shame.

Rainbow grinned wider. "Again, I know. But again also that if you and Discord don't work out, but with how you two are I have a feeling you'll be fine."

“O-ok.” She said shyly.

Rarity smiled as she finished brushing Rainbow's tail. "Alright, now we need to make your outfit."

“Oh come on Rares, does she really need an outfit for a picnic?” Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow. Twilight showed Applejack the last letter, before Applejack's eyes widened. "Let's make that outfit."

Rainbow looked at them confused. “What’s in that letter?” She asked as she tried to look but Rarity held her in place with her magic.

"Now, now. We need to finish up." Rarity said with a smile.

Rainbow pouted. “Fine.”

Rarity smiled a bit as she used her magic to gather supplies. "Let's see now…" Rarity worked on fixing Rainbow up and making an outfit at the same time.

"You're all acting weird, what exactly is so different about this picnic?" Rainbow asked as the rest of her friends read the letter.

"Oh, you'll see. Without spoiling anything you'll be going somewhere only a very few ponies have been to!" Pinkie said with a giggle.

Twilight elbowed Pinkie. “Careful Pinkie, but she is right. I am sure you’ll love it.”

Rainbow's eyes widened in surprise and excitement. "Somewhere only a very few ponies have been to?! Now I'm even more excited!"

All the mare giggled and they helped Rainbow finish getting ready. “Well darling, what do you think?” Rarity asked as she showed Rainbow a large full body mirror.

Rainbow's eyes widened as she looked at her mane and outfit, her hair having been cut in places and smoothes out so it was soft and vibrant along with her tail. While the outfit was a simple lightweight gown for movement that was Rainbow with star like patterns dotted about. "Whoa… this is amazing!"

“Thank you darling, I do my best. Though please do brush your mane and tail more often.” Rarity said with a dramatic sigh.

"I mean, with practice and everything that'll be a bit hard…" Rainbow mumbled as she looked at the time. "Oh crap! I gotta go!"

Rarity put a hoof on Rainbow’s shoulder and leaned close. “Don’t you dare run or fly with that outfit on.”

Rainbow frowned. "But I gotta get there fast!"

“Then have Twilight teleport you.” Rarity said before poking Rainbow. “You will not ruin all my hard work.”

Rainbow sighed a bit and nodded, before someone knocked on the front door. "Hey Skittles, you ready?" Dillan's voice asked. "I figured I'd pick you up from here."

“Well that saves me some magic.” Twilight giggled as the mares cleared the way for Rainbow to the door.

Rainbow gulped a bit as she nervously made her way to the door, slowly opening it to see Dillan smiling at her with his brown hair combed back. While he wore a black suit with an orange undershirt with a similar stary pattern as her outfit, and a picnic basket on his arm. "Whoa…" he said, staring at her a little.

Rainbow blushed and fidgeted in place. “D-do you like it?”

"Like it? It's perfect." Dillan said with a soft smile, backing up a bit so she could come out. "Are you ready?"

She nodded and looked back. “Th-thanks girls.” She then followed him outside.

"Have fun!" They all shouted as Dillan smiled at her, turning into Jetray.

"Climb on." He said, leaning down for her to get on his back.

“Huh?” Rainbow looked at his back for a moment before she climbed onto him. “Are we flying somewhere?”

"Yup, and thanks to a spell from Luna. We'll be able to get there safely." Dillan said with a smile, as he took off into the air with the picnic basket on his clawed feet.

“Why would you need a spell?” Rainbow asked as she held on.

"You'll see." He said with a grin, as he started flying up higher.

“Um …Dillan we are getting pretty high.” Rainbow said as she looked around, only natural clouds being around.

"I know… watch this!" He said, as he flew into the sky higher before the two left the atmosphere a sphere of air forming around them.

“Whoa!” Rainbow looked around.

"Congratulations Skittles, you are now one of three ponies that have been to space." Dillan said with a smile as he flew closer to the moon.

“We are in space!?” Rainbow asked as she looked around more. “Wait three? I know Luna was on the moon but who was the second?”

"If I remember correctly, when Nightmare moon returned she put Celestia in the sun." Dillan said with a smile. "So other than royalty you are the first normal pony in space."

“Wow.” Rainbow said and looked around. “Are we safe?”

"Yup, thanks to the spell Luna did." Dillan said with a smile as they grew closer to the moon.

“Let me guess, our picnic is gonna be on the moon.” Rainbow said with a smirk.

"Unless you'd rather go back to Equestria." Dillan said, looking back at her with a grin.

“No bucking way, you must have worked hard on this.” Rainbow said with a grin.

Dillan smiled softly. "Yeah… it took forever to get Luna to agree to this… are you surprised?"

“Heck yeah I am! I never would have guessed this was your date idea.” Rainbow said with a laugh.

Dillan grinned as they landed on the moon, near a glass dome with a large tree inside as Dillan quickly went in. "Alright, we can breathe normally here."

“Hey…” Rainbow looked around. “Doesn’t this seem familiar?”

Dillan grinned at her. "Does it?"

“Yeah…” Rainbow looked around before it clicked. “Oh! It is from that cartoon!”

Dillan grinned a bit as he sat the picnic basket down. "Yup, Spongebob. Sandy's tree dome. Good memory."

“I probably only remember because I just got my memories back.” Rainbow said with a small chuckle.

"Well either way, shall we?" Dillan said with a smile as he set out the blanket. Rainbow smiled and nodded, joining him.

Dillan smiled at her as he set out all of her favorite foods, and cookies. "Wanna see something awesome?"

“Of course.” Rainbow said before smirking. “But I don’t see a mirror.” Dillan chuckled a bit and pointed her head upwards, just as meteorites flew past. “Whoa!”

"Told you." He said with a smile, wrapping his arm around her.

She smiled and leaned on him. “This is awesome.”

"See?" Dillan said with a grin. "I told you this would be amazing."

“You did, but I meant this.” She looked at him. “You and me together.”

Dillan blushed and smiled softly. "I asked Luna if it was ok to leave this tree dome here, eventually I hope to terraform the moon so life will survive here."

Rainbow giggled a bit. “Oh really? So you want to make a mini Equis?”

"Well more of a vacation spot type thing so ponies will appreciate the moon more." Dillan said with a smile.

Rainbow smiled and nuzzled him. “Are you trying to butter up Princess Luna?”

"No… or not fully. I know Luna's backstory and it's hard. Personally, night time was always my favorite time of the day. So I want to spread that love." Dillan said with a smile.

Rainbow smiled and kissed him before feeding him a sandwich. “I am sure she will love the sentiment.”

Dillan smiled a bit and bit the sandwich, before feeding her one as well. She smiled and bit into the sandwich as they enjoyed the meteor shower and sandwiches as well as each other's company.

"This is wonderful." Dillan said softly, burying his face into her mane.

Rainbow giggled a bit. “Yeah, be careful up there. Don’t want you coughing up a hairball.”

"Oh hush." Dillan said with a chuckle, holding her closer as the meteorites continued to fly past.

Rainbow smiled and leaned on him. “I am a very lucky mare.”

"No, I'm a lucky guy." Dillan said with a smile.

Rainbow smiled and kissed him softly. “What did you plan for after the picnic and meteor shower?”

Dillan smiled as he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer so they were pressing against each other. "Why? Want to leave?"

“Nope, I am just wondering what you had in mind.” She giggled softly.

"Well, what do you want to do?" He asked her with a smile.

Rainbow was quiet as she thought about it for a moment before she looked up at him. “How about we just relax and cuddle.”

"Really? I'm surprised you don't want to explore space or something." Dillan said with a smile as he held her.

“We can do that later, when we aren’t on a date.” She said with a smirk.

Dillan smiles and holds her closer as he kisses her deeply. She purred and rubbed his chest as they made out. “I thought you got this out of your system earlier, stud.”

Dillan chuckled and kissed her again. "I did, but can you blame me when I have such a hot mare on top of me?"

Rainbow smirked and whispered to him. “Think Luna would be upset if we did it on her moon?”

Dillan blushed and grinned a bit, before kissing her. "Pervert."

Rainbow giggled and ground herself on his lap. “Imam not the one rock hard.~”

Dillan smirked as his hand slowly went under her. "And I'm not the one staining my clothes."

Rainbow giggled and kissed his lips softly. “Can you blame me? With a handsome stud like you all to myself?~”

Dillan smiled and kissed her deeply and suddenly, gently laying her on her back as he rubbed her outstretched wings. She moaned softly and giggled. “Luna is gonna be so jealous.” She said with a giggle.

Dillan grinned a bit. "Maybe, but I'm sure I can make it up to her." He said as a ship flew past.

Rainbow looked up at it confused. “What's that?” She blushed and looked back at Dillan. “They can’t see us can they?”

"I mean the dome is clear." He said with a shrug as the ship landed near the tree dome.

Rainbow groaned and rolled off of him. “Buck.”

Dillan chuckled. "Hey, just think about it. Now when someone asks what we did on our first date you can say we met aliens."

Rainbow was still pouting. “I guess.”

Dillan looked at her and smirked. "Hey, don't forget, you can always spend the night at my house… not sleeping."

Rainbow blushed with a smile and her tail brushed his leg. “I’m alright with that.”

Dillan laughed a bit as three creatures walked through the airlock of the tree dome, causing Dillan's mouth to drop. All three were purple while wearing blue outfits with matching yellow shoes and gloves, each with strong chins. The middle one had webbed frills on the sides of its head, while the one on the left had two entenai on top of its heads. The last one had horns on the sides and top of its forehead with gold rings on the sides of its head and a matching gold chain around its neck. "Greetings! We are travelers from far away, and happened to come across your pleasant little area after a nasty run in with a wormhole." The middle one spoke.

“Whoa.” Rainbow said as she looked up at Dillan. “Do you know these guys?” She asked in a whisper.

"Only from stories." Dillan said. "You're Zix, Travoltron, and Tee right?"

“Ha! It seems our reputation precedes us.” The middle one said with a smile.

“Who told you our names!?” The one on the left shouted.

"That's… hard to explain. But I suppose the simple explanation is that since you went through a wormhole you've been pulled into another dimension." Dillan explained to them.

“Whoa, another dimension man.” The one on the right side with a smile.

Dillan chuckled softly. "I'm from yet another dimension, one where Jimmy Neutron's life is a television show. That's how I know your names."

The aliens looked at each other before the center one looked at Dillan. “So you are saying that little human isn’t here?”

"Nope." Dillan said, shaking his head. "At least, not unless he came through the wormhole too."

“Man, I hope not. I am tired of him kicking our butts.” The alien on the right said.

“Jimmy is a fool! But his friend Sheen is a cool little guy.” The alien on the left said before both of them were hit by the middle alien.

“Quiet both of you.” He said before grinning. “Perhaps we can go down to that little world and…introduce ourselves.” He added with a chuckle.

Rainbow narrowed her eyes. “I don’t trust that one.” She whispered.

Dillan looked at him with a slight glare. "Zix if you try anything, Jimmy will be the least of your worries."

“Oh really? And who is gonna stop us?” He asked with a smirk as he pulled out a laser gun.

Dillan frowned and looked up his Ultimatrix, turning into a large dinosaur like alien that stood over them with a growl. "Humungosaur that's who."

“Uh oh.” The one on the right said.

“Tee didn’t agree to this!” The one on the left shouted.

“So what if you can turn big, I am sure we can take you.” The middle one said.

Dillan leaned forward and glared at Zix as he grew larger, almost hitting the glass of the dome. "I can punt you to the sun."

“Um…perhaps I miscalculated.” Zix said as he lowered his gun.

Dillan returned to normal and smirked at the three. "Good, now play nice."

Zix grumbled as he turned to his two friends. “Let’s go find out what is on that planet over there.” He said while pointing at Equis.

"That's Equis! Don't you dare mess with our home!" Rainbow dash said angrily, getting in Zix's face.

Zix smirked and chuckled. “Oh really? And what are you gonna do to us?”

Rainbow dash glared at him with a growl as Tee and Travoltron stood next to Dillan. "How hurt is he gonna be?" Travoltron asked Dillan.

"Oh you have no idea." Dillan said, crossing his arms as Rainbow Dash started punching Zix.

“Ah! Stop! Get off me you tiny horse!” Zix yelled as he tried to fight Rainbow.

"Excuse me!?" She and Dillan yelled angrily before she started beating him worse.

"That's their term for a whore." Dillan said coldly standing next to Travoltron and Tee.

"Zix you fool! That's low!" Tee said angrily.

“Ow ow ow stop it!” Zix yelled before yelling to his friends. “I didn’t know, just help me numskulls!”

Dillan grabbed Rainbow's shoulder. "Alright, he's had enough."

“What!?” Rainbow asked with a frown.

"Skittles, he didn't know and now he knows not to mess with Equis, right Zix?" Dillan asked the purple alien.

Zix groaned and shook his head. “No, we won’t!”

Rainbow dash smirked and Crossed her arms with a nod. "Good, if you do you'll be answering to me!"

“Yeah yeah whatever you say, just stay away from me.” Zix said as he got up and tried to leave.

"You don't have to leave, you know, you three could stay here as a vacation type thing." Dillan said.

“Tee would like a vacation.” Tee said with a smirk.

“Yeah why can’t we stay?” Travoltron asked.

Zix groaned and looked around. "Well, it is nice here… alright. But let's let these two finish their date."

Rainbow narrowed her eyes. “How did you know we were on a date?”

"Oh we saw what you two were doing when we got here." Travoltron said with a grin. "Plus, picnic basket and blanket."

Rainbow blushed and yelled. “Just get out of here!”

The three left quickly as Dillan laughed. "Don't mess with my girl."

Rainbow huffed and leaned on him. “Buck, they completely ruined the mood.”

"Well I wouldn't say that." He said with a grin. "Watching you beat him senseless was hot."

Rainbow blushed and giggled. “Good to know.”

Dillan smiled and kissed her before feeding her a sandwich. Rainbow smirked and ate it. “Thanks.”

He smiled and wrapped his arm around her, feeding her a grape from a vine. Rainbow giggled and smirked. “Are you trying to butter me up?”

"What if I am?" He asked with a grin.

Rainbow chuckled and rubbed her hoof on his chest. “Let’s get back to the picnic.”

Dillan smiled as he fed her another grape. "What's it seem like we're doing?"

“Like you are feeding me.” She smirked and tried to feed him.

He smiled and took a bite of the food, before kissing her. "I love you."

“I love you too.” She said and hugged him.

Dillan smiled as he stood up. "Shall we get going?"

“Sure.” She stayed close to him, rubbing his leg. “This was amazing, even if we were interrupted.”

"Well… it isn't over yet." He said with a smile.

“It isn’t?” She asked with a grin.

"Not at all, come my dear. The universe awaits." He said with a grin turning into Jetray again before the two took off and explored the universe around Equis.
