I sighed slightly as the little pony happily sucked on one of my nipples, being rewarded by a small flow of milk. I held her with one hand while using the other to gently pet her head. A million thoughts were raging around in my mind, but the most important one was voiced.

“What am I gonna do with you…” I said to little Nightmare. I was of course ignored as she kept sucking from my breast, intent on getting her belly full with the delicious milk. Despite everything, I couldn't help but smile at the little black winged unicorn (I think I caught the term 'Alicorn' in passing from the other ponies) I was holding. Once a feared villain intent on plunging the world in eternal night, now a helpless little foal in need of someone to look after her.

By the time I stopped my train of thought, she had finally stopped her constant sucking and took her mouth out of my breast, letting off a cute little burp. I chuckled and once again donned my bra, shirt and coat before just sitting there with the ex-villain in my arms, humming a tune that made the foal coo in delight as my mind turned back to when I found her minutes ago.

I stood there for a good thirty seconds as my brain short circuited from the sheer lack of logic of what I was seeing. Wasn't Nightmare vaporized from the Rainbow Kamehameha? How the heck is she still alive? And so small for that matter!? That and other questions I had were put in the backburner as Nightmare continued to cry. Unsure of what to do, I approached and tried to calm her down.

"U-um... There there, don't cry anymore, the rainbow is not gonna hurt you..."

It was a little awkward to pick her up because of my melons, but I managed and started rocking her back and forth. That only worked for a few seconds before she went back to crying. I tried singing, playing, and even making funny faces at her, but she kept crying. I was becoming frantic, my classes on how to take care of a baby slipping from my mind at the moment. I would have started to panic had my ears not caught another sound amidst the crying.

*growl*

"Oh. OH!! You're hungry, aren't you? Stupid me, that's what I should have checked first..." I slapped my forehead with a free hand and dragged it down my muzzle. I sighed slightly, glancing around the room before frowning and looking back down at mini-Nightmare. "How am I gonna feed you though? There's no fridge in here with soft foods, and I don't know where to get milk..."

I paused as a muted flash happened between me and Nightmare. I blinked for a moment before my breasts suddenly felt heavier. My eyes widened before I shakily took off my coat, shirt and bra and brought a hand up, giving one of them a little squeeze. I let out a small gasp as a trail of white liquid began to run down from my nipple. My brain once again short circuited. Nightmare took this opportunity to crawl closer and latch on my breast with her mouth and begin sucking. I came out of my stupor and blinked at her, so unsure of what to do, I lifted her in my arms to make it easier for her to have her fill.

And that brings me to right now. I shook my head and looked at the foal in my arms. “I guess you're not the same Nightmare, are you?” I asked her, and she giggled and babbled what sounded like ‘mommy!’.

I sighed once again. I really should have seen that coming. Though a small part of me surprisingly didn't mind it. Back on earth, when I was still a he, I entertained the thought of adopting, since no one had accepted to be my special someone when asked. They always wanted only a one time fling. I always declined. So I eventually gave up looking for love. Friends never encouraged or dissuaded me from that thought, since most of them were online friends that I only saw when we had our "Gaming Night Party", which is where I tended to get wasted after hours of Video Games. But the desire to have children never left though. Who would have thought that dream would be fulfilled in another world? With that in mind, I knew what to do.

“Don't worry little one, mommy will take good care of you. I promise to do everything in my power to make sure you grow up to be happy instead of the villain you once were. Though we need a new name for you.”

I looked her over. Her shining dark fur reminded me of the blackness of space. And her ethereal mane, just like the night sky. So a name that is night related would be best. I let out ‘Hmm’ before smiling as the perfect name came to mind.

“From now on, your name is Selene Dreemurr.”

It's been three weeks. I have been living mostly off of some fruits I find in the forest and small animals I hunt, using a knife I conjured, since most of the food I tried bringing to existence tasted blander than toast without butter. So glad I didn't try to conjure something for Selene to eat at that moment. She would barf all over me. Speaking of Selene, I noticed how she was aging faster than normal. She can now speak simple words and form small sentences, however disconnected they were, so I took it upon myself to teach her personally how to speak. It was very slow progress. And whatever seemed to be making her age this fast, was slowing down. Call it a feeling, but I somehow knew it would stop next week.

In another matter, one night I woke up when something smacked me in the face. Looking around and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I spotted a book laying on my lap. Curiously picking it up, I looked it over. The title read "A Guide to Kitsunes' Magic, by C.S.P." The sheer coincidence of this specific book smacking me in the face made me slightly suspicious that there were bigger powers behind my coming to this world, after all, there was nothing close to my bed from where the book could have fallen from. I put it out of my mind for the moment, storing the book away in a backpack I conjured some days ago and went back to sleep.

Life in the forest was uneventful, and admittedly, a little boring. The routine was wake up, go out and search for breakfast, feed Selene, brush teeth (with toothbrush and toothpaste I conjured), play with Selene until it's time for her nap, look for lunch, play again, look for dinner, clean Selene's mess, bath, put Selene to sleep, go to sleep myself, rise, rinse and repeat. It was drilled into my mind. Me and Selene couldn't keep going like this, I need proper supplies to take care of her and a real place to stay. So, it was with that thought in mind, that I now was standing in front of the town where I first appeared in, with Selene peeking over my shoulder from inside my open backpack.

"Well Selene... Let's get this over with." I stated and casually strolled into town.

"Over with!" Selene repeated with a giggle.

I received a lot of stares while walking, some curious, some fearful, and some confused. The confused ones where probably because of my physics defying tails. I sometimes even forget about those, since despite being as long as I am tall, they don't seem to weigh anything, and constantly float behind me as if I was underwater, unless I try using them to do anything. It's like I have three reserve hands, really useful. I really love my tails.

Speaking of my tails, I felt something someone, or rather, somePONY running a hoof through one of them. Looking down I smiled seeing a young grey coated filly with a two tone blue mane looking fascinated by my appendage. I giggled, which brought her attention up to me. Her eyes were mismatched, one being a crimson red while the other was ocean blue. Cool contrast.

"Hi there, little one. Do you like my tails?" I asked with a smile.

She nodded eagerly. "Yeah! They are so soft! And the floaty thing they do is so cool!"

"Thank you. I take really good care of them. I'm Samantha by the way, and this here" I point at Selene who was looking at the filly curiously. "is my daughter Selene."

Selene smiled and waved to the filly. "Hi!"

"Nice to meet you! My friends call me Blaze!" She smiled wide, which gave me pause as I noticed the tiny fangs in her mouth. Must be a subspecies or something. Ignoring that, I ruffled the filly's mane.

"Nice to meet you too Blaze. Do you know where I can find the leader of this town?" I decided to ask, since I didn't exactly know where to go.

"You mean Mayor Mare? She must be in Town Hall!" Blaze said and pointed where I needed to go.

"Thank you, Blaze. I'll be on my way now. See you around."

So with one last smile I departed, watching the filly scamper off, probably back to her parents. While she was going, I noticed how her wings were bat like. Ah, she must be the same species as Selene then, with the exception of the horn, which she doesn't have. Ah, I love children. Their innocence, their curiousity, their imagination... Childhood is a precious time, one that must be enjoyed to the max.

During my walk, I saw how most of the stares I received morphed into smiles, seems the town approves of how I handle their youngsters, which was welcome in my part. Some even waved happily to me, and a Pegasus even stopped to make funny faces at Selene. Their memory must be really short term if they can't recognize the one that tried to plunge the world in eternal darkness, but I'm not complaining.

A few minutes later, I arrived at Town Hall. Apparently it's in the exact middle of town, and to be honest? I have no fucking clue how I missed this big building while running out of town. Maybe I was too busy trying to get my ass out of there to notice this huge thing behind me.

Sexual jokes aside, I pushed the door open, this time being careful to duck so as to not smack my face again. It was slightly frustrating now that I realized I would have to do that a lot here (either everything is too small or I'm too big. I would say a mix of both). Looking around, I spotted the receptionist behind her desk with a bored face. Approaching, I cleared my throat to get her attention. She looked up... And up, and up, before her gaze settled for longer than necessary on my chest. I rose an amused eyebrow at that.

"Eyes up here, dear." I said, making her look at my face in confusion before she realized that she was staring, taking a moment to regain her composture before addressing me properly.

"Good afternoon, miss. What can I help you with?" She asked in a professional tone, completely ignoring her earlier attitude, and not even offering an apology. Rude. But I was not about to be too, after all, I would do the same in her position.

"I would like to see Mayor Mare, I need a job and a place to stay."

"Oh, sure thing. She's not busy right now, so go right ahead."

"Thank you."

The Mayor was a surprisingly nice and understanding pony, after explaining how I wasn't from around here and in need of money to rent a place to stay, she said I could have the unoccupied home on the outskirts of town, tough I would have to vacate the place if a buyer appeared. She also gave me a map of the town and pointed out that there was a small business looking for help. I thanked her and exited the Town Hall, deciding to walk around before going to check out my possible new workplace. As I was doing that, I spotted a yellow pony with a light pink mane leading a group of ducks through town, tough as she was walking backwards, she tripped on one of my tails accidentally. I reacted fast, making my other two tails catch her before she could hit the ground.

"Are you okay there? Thankfully I managed to catch you before you fell." I said, turning to the pony.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trip on your tail, but I was just so distracted helping my little duck friend and-"

I stopped her by scratching behind her ear. "Hey, it's alright. You didn't mean it, and my tail wasn't hurt or anything."

She gasped at first as she felt my hand on her head before leaning on my ministrations and letting out a- wait, is she purring? Aww, that's adorable! Ponies are part cat then? This is useful information for later. Anyway, now that I am having a good look at her, it occurred to me that she is one of the ponies I saw back on the castle the day I arrived here. I decided to make sure anyway. Taking my hand away from her head, I had to fight down the urge to giggle as she nuzzled it a moment longer before catching herself and looking away in embarrassment.

"Say, weren't you one of the ponies I saw back in the old castle?" I asked, making sure to lower myself closer to the ground to make me seem less threatening, she seems like the shy type after all.

"O-oh, now I remember you! You're that strange creature we were looking for back then when you walked out of the room..." She said, looking like she was deep in thought. "What are you anyway? I-if you don't mind me asking..."

God, that there is dangerous levels of cuteness. A little more, and it will cause diabetes on poor me.

"Well dear, I am a Kitsune. I am not from these parts, so you wouldn't see many of my kind going around. My name is Samantha, and this here" I indicated to the foal on my shoulder. "is my daughter Selene. May I have your name as well?" I asked with a smile.

"O-oh, I'm Fluttershy..."

Even with my improved hearing, I had to strain to hear what she said. Poor girl could use some confidence classes. I might consider helping her in that regard when I have finally settled down. Might be good to have her as an acquaintance. Yes, I said acquaintance and not friend, friends are not easy to make, it takes effort that I'm not willing to go through right now, so I'll settle for the second best option.

"Well it's nice to meet you, miss Fluttershy. I would love to continue this chat but I have to go now, I am new to town you see, so I am looking for work, and I happened to hear there was a music store that is in need of help, so I'm heading over there."

"Oh, I'm sorry for taking your time..." She apologized.

"Nah, it's alright. Now, I believe we both should be on our way. See you around, okay?" I said standing back up.

She nodded and was about to walk off with the ducks when a griffin bumped into her. A FRICKIN' GRIFFIN. I swear magical pony land is doing everything it can to drive me nuts. I watched the scene in front of me as Fluttershy apologized to the griffin, who only seemed to get more angry. When she (it looks like a she) took a deep breath to scream at Fluttershy, I knew I had to step in. So, I approached her from behind and wrapped one of my tails around her head, muffling her screa- wait, that wasn't a scream. That was a ROAR! She was going to roar at Fluttershy for no motive! She may not be my friend, but I'm not just going to let something like that happen.

It took the griffin some seconds to notice my tail muffling her roar, and when she stopped to look up at me, I spoke with a heavy frown.

"Is there a problem here?"

She pulled my tail off her face with a talon. "What is it to you, dweeb? And what the feather are you supposed to be?"

'What the feather'? Is that the griffin version of what the fuck? Would be pretty weird then when two griffins are in bed and say 'Let's feather now.' Oh god, that metal image is forever burned intomy mind...

"I am a Kitsune thank you very much. As for what is with me, I don't take kindly to jerks like you treating other beings bad for no reason. She apologized to you and wanted to ROAR at her!? That is a major level of jerkness." I stated with crossed arms.

She only scoffed. "That's none of your business! I do whatever I want to those dweebs, you freak!"

The temperature suddenly dropped as my eye twitched.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" I asked with an overly sweet smile. Selene herself burrowed deep into my backpack and zipped it up.

"What, didn't hear me? I'll repeat it then! Freak-"

I don't know exactly what happened, it was as if my body went into autopilot, I watched as my hand shot up and grabbed the griffin by the throat, her desperately clawing at my arm to make me let go. I didn't feel anything. She was then brought up to my face as my mouth opened and words started dropping out, a dangerous tone to them.

"At least I am not the failed lovechild of a feline and a birdbrain. But you know, my kind is very fond of feline meat, the same as bird meat. I wonder what they taste like together?" I was answered by more frantic clawing. "Hmm, how about a deal? Play nice with the ponies, or else I am gonna invite you to a nice barbecue, but not as a guest, if you catch my drift. Am I clear?" She nodded frantically and I let her go, watching as she took off flying. I finally regained control and noticed how I was receiving lots of stares. I shrugged and looked at Fluttershy.

"Hey, you okay?"

"W-where you really serious about what you said?"

"About bird meat? Yeah. The rest was just to make sure she wouldn't try that again." I answered as truthfully as I could, and it actually was truth. Any other meat that wasn't pig, cow or chicken never tasted right to me. During my time in the forest, I had to either suck it up or become vegetarian. You can tell what my choice was.

"Oh, thank goodness... A-also, you didn't need to help me..."

"Nonsense. I wasn't about to let her be a jerk to someone as nice as you."

"O-oh... Thank you then, miss Samantha." She gave a small smile. So cute. Hnnng.

"No problem, and call me Sam. Well, I better get going, see ya Fluttershy." I waved as I walked away. Though as I did, a thought swirled around in my mind.

What the hell was that?

I had eventually found the music store. An interesting place called 'Classical Wubs'. It sold vinyls, instruments, sound equipment, besides other things. Pretty cool. Pushing the door open and ducking inside, I spotted a pony at the cash register, she had a white coat and electric blue mane, she was wearing a pair of purple glasses, which she lifted up to rub her eyes when she saw me, letting me catch a glimpse of her crimson red eyes. I have seen some clear differences between mares and stallions (if I got the terms right), so it's easy for me to guess now.

"Uh, can I help you with something?" She asked, looking up at me.

"Yes. I was in search of a job, and heard you're hiring. I am interested, if you don't mind." I said with a nod. She let out an 'Ah' of understanding, her horn glowing as she lowered her glasses back down. Neat, wonder if I can do that?

"Yeah, me and my friend need someone to substitute us in the shop, since we sometimes can't be here. All you need to do is help the customers find what they want, and make sure they pay the correct amount. Pretty standard stuff, kinda boring sometimes." She waved a hoof around to indicate her point. So she and her friend are the owners, huh? If I'm reading the context right, she is the techno type, wbile her friend is the classical one. There's no questioning my logic.

"I see. Yeah, I can do that, because as my grandfather once said, 'No job is bad, bad is having to work.'" I said with a chuckle.

She let out a chuckle too before looking me up and down. "Say, if you don't mind me asking, who are you and what species you are? You don't exactly look like a minotaur to me..." Seems this is gonna become a trend... Also, minotaurs are real here too? What's next, dragons? Centaurs? A sphinx!? Shaking myself off of my mental tangent, I adressed the pony in front of me.

"Well, that's because I'm not a minotaur. My name is Samantha, or Sam. As for what I am, I'm a Kitsune."

She seemed to be deep in thought before shaking her head. "Nope, never heard of that species. Anyway, nice to meetcha Sam, name's Vinyl Scratch, but some ponies call me by my stage name, DJ PON-3."

"Nice to meet you too Vinyl. So, when do you think I could start working here?"

She put a hoof to her chin and thought it over. "Come back tomorrow at three, my friend might be there by that time so we can discuss the terms of you employment."

"Alright, thanks Vinyl. I'll be there." I held out my hand, which she met with a hoof and we shook.

"See ya around Sam." She waved as I turned and exited the music shop.

"See ya, Vinyl."

Alright, now to check that house.

A few hours of exploration later, I was now standing in front of my new residence. It was a nice one store with a small grassy area out front and a big fenced backyard. It was quite nice, it reminded me of my late granny's house, may her soul rest in peace.

Planning to check out the inside, I was about to enter when I noticed a note tapped to the door. Curiously picking it up, I read it over, noticing how it was the invitation for a party. Whoever put this here, must have thought there was someone living here, since there's NO way they knew I was coming, right? Rolling it up and throwing it behind me, I shuddered as if I had done something I would regret later.

Shrugging off the weird feeling, I unlocked the door with the keys the Mayor game me and pushed the door open, being hit in the face by a mountain of dust. Hacking and coughing, it took me a moment to recover before I looked over the place again. God, so dirty... Setting my backpack down, Selene peeked out in time to see me conjure multiple cleaning supplies.

"Cleany cleany!" She clapped her hooves happily.

I smiled. "Yes sweetie, mommy is gonna clean this place for us."

Looking around, I couldn't help the sigh that escaped me. This could take a while.

LATER...

Three hours. Three fucking hours of cleaning. My arms and legs are burning, no scratch that, my entire body is burning. Even my ass. But surprisingly, not my tails. I managed to use them to reduce the cleaning time a lot. But it still took too long though, it was already dark out.

I sighed and went to my backpack, taking out the container which stored the leftovers of today's lunch. Two apples and some meat. I really hope Vinyl can give me an advance payment so I can buy food. Though I guess I'll have to still rely on the forest for meat, since the stalls I saw through town only sold fruits and vegetables. Makes sense, those are ponies. Ponies are herbivore by nature. Really hope I won't have to entirely give up on eating meat, even more now that I am part fox. I mean, Kitsunes are part fox, right? Or was it part wolf? Gah, should have paid more attention to the anime.

After eating, I picked Selene and my backpack, walking to one of the rooms. I put my backpack beside the door and cunjured a bed with a pillow and mattresses. Sitting down on it, I took off my coat, lifted my shirt and undid my bra before picking Selene up again.

"Dinner time, sweetie."

"Milky!" She exclaimed happily before latching onto one of my breasts and sucking eagerly, soon being rewarded by a constant flow of milk.

Stroking her mane, which was still surprisingly cool to the touch, I took the moment to think about everything that happened up until now. You know, I seem to actually be taking all this pretty well. I mean, I lost my old home, my species, and even my gender. By all accounts, I should be going crazy right now. Honestly, if it wasn't for Selene, I guess I would be. It is my responsibility to be there for her, so I need to set a good example (regardless of my... 'performance', with that griffin. Thank god she didn't see that). Is this what being a parent feels like? It's so... Nice. Makes me feel all fuzzy and happy when I see her smile. I like this feeling.

After a while, she finished feeding with one cute burp. I giggled before putting my bra back on, deciding to sleep in my underwear once again. I laid in bed and pulled the covers over myself before dropping my tails over Selene, humming a little tune for her. It was the same one my mother hummed to me when I was younger and before I moved away to my own home. Soon, Selene was fast asleep with a little smile on her face. I smiled too.

"I guess this place isn't gonna be so bad after all. As long as I have you here with me, Selene." I planted a gentle kiss on her forehead as I slowly drifted off to dreamland too. "Goodnight, my dear daughter."

I heard her shift closer to me and mumble in her sleep.

"I wuv you, mommy..."

I can definitely get used to that.

Author's Note

Argh, my brain is burning! This is my longest chapter yet, in any of my stories!

The reason of why I skipped the interaction with the Mayor is just that, the chapter was already big enough as it was. If I could skip some more, I definitely would.

Also, third appearance of my OC Blaze in my stories, this time as an extra character. Still considering if she is gonna be only in bits and pieces or if she is gonna be a constant character here. I would like to hear your thoughts on that.

Yes, I skipped from episode two to episode five. In this story, I'm gonna try my best to make Sam not be involved in the episodes, except for some key ones. No, I won't reveal which ones, since I haven't decided yet.

Have suggestions, spotted errors, or want your OC in the story? Please comment, your opinion is welcome!

If this story reach fifteen likes, I'm gonna do a comment driven chapter, so keep your eyes on that metter!
