"Steady, steeeeeeeady."

"SHIRO!"

"Gah."

tink BOOM

Uggggh my head. What the hell just happened.

"Shiro you gotta hide me!" Oh right Rainbow flying into my castle while I was working. I waved my wind enhanced hand in an effort to clear the blue smoke that was clouding my face.

"Rain*cough*bow, do you even know what knocking is?" I asked the frantic mare.

"No time. HIDE ME!" Why was she so frantic all of a sudden?

"RAINBOW DAAAAASH~" Oh right, Pinkie's been hounding her all day.

I contemplated selling her out for payback but she quickly dove behind my desk as Pinkie came bounding through the ceiling, I just stared at the her sized hole in the ceiling with a blank look before turning my attention to the bouncing, smilling girl in front of me.

"Pinkie..."

"Mhm."

"You do know that I have a door right?"

"Yeah."

"Then why in the name of Celestia's sun did you not use it?" I had no words right now, like seriously I know she was random as all hell but crashing through my ceiling was another matter entirely.

"Because I'm looking for Rainbow Dash, have you seen her?" She asked me with a smile on her face. I opened my mouth but she rushed past me to where Rainbow was hiding, "There you are Rainbow."

"AHHHHHHH."

"La la la la la."

"USE THE GOD DAMN DOOR!" *Sigh* Might as well fix it now that they're gone. I looked behind me and sighed again when I saw the mess the explosion caused. 'Why does this world feel like it needs to blow up every experiment I try?'

"Uhhh this a bad time?" I heard a familier western accent from above me.

"Nah not really AJ," I levitated myself out of the hole in the ceiling before patching it up with magic. I learned an easy fixing spell from Twilight and Rarity, "Rainbow and Pinkie decided to drop by." I gestured to the now fixed holes.

"Ah see that." She said with a face that just radiated confusion.

"So what's up?"

"Ah was wondering if ya still need a job?" Oh right I forgot I asked her about working at her farm.

"Yeah that would be swell AJ." I told her with a smile.

"If you're ready you can start today."

"Yeah I'm free," I looked back with a sneer, "Especially with what just happened."

"Alright, follow me." She turned while flicking her tail.

"Hold on AJ." I stopped her before she got any further then a few steps. She turned and looked at me.

"What is it suagercube?"

"I can just teleport us to your farm if you want." AJ raised her eyebrows.

"You can do that?" I nodded and created a portal.

"Okay if you wanna jump then hold onto me and close your eyes, the first time can be...disorientating." She looked at me before shrugging, grabbing my sleeve and closing her eyes. "Okay stepping through now."

=0=

"Okay you can open your eyes now." I told the orange mare.

"Hoo doggie," She let go of me and stumbled a bit, "Now I know why ya said to close my eyes. That felt weird."

"If you think that was bad try doing it with your eyes open." I chuckled out, "First time I teleported I did it from the back wall of the castle to the door and walked into a wall. Multiple times might I add." I rolled my eyes as she started to laugh, "Yeah yeah laugh it up AJ."

She finally calmed down, "Sorry 'bout that sugarcube but you gotta admit that it's kinda funny."

"Yeah yeah, so what we doing?" I asked, while we talked we also walked.

"Just some bucking nothin to much. Do you think you can handle it?" She asked with a smirk.

"Yes I can handle it. It's not my fault the batch weighed over 550kg." She slapped my back which actually hurt.

"Well come on them sugarcube. Lets get bucking." She led me over to a bunch of apple trees, obviously, with a barrel of water next to them, most likely to clean the apples.

AJ walked over to the closest tree and wound her leg back, with a grunt she let loosed a mighty kick that shook the tree and knocked all the apples down into baskets that were underneath the tree. I focused on the tree I was in front of and placed my hands on the trunk of the tree. I closed my eyes and felt my magic wrap around the leaves and apples.

I don't think I ever explained what using magic felt like? In simple terms, it acted like a sixth sense. Whenever I projected my magic in a certain radius, like now, whatever and who ever was in that radius felt like pinpricks on my skin, it was annoying as hell when I first tried it but I got used to it after awhile.

"Land sakes!" I looked over to her and saw that the apples all the apples were different coloured.

"Don't worry AJ," She looked over to me with a questioned look, "They're all water colours see." I told her as I picked up one of the apples and dropped it in the barrel. The colours washed off and we heard laughter from Rainbow and Pinkie.

"Hehehe." AJ giggled out.

"*sigh* Looks like we have a lot of work ahead of us huh AJ, Hmm guess now's the time to practice water magic." And so we got to work, my water magic went less then successful meaning it didn't even work.

We managed to pick and clean every apple by sundown and at this point I was more then happy to head back home to bed.

"Mmmmmm." I stretched my back and was rewarded with satisfying popping sounds, I started to feel a headache coming on due to the strain of using my magic so much. "Man I need some sleep. My shoulders feel stiff as hell."

I looked over to see AJ stretching as well, I also couldn't help but notice her toned and muscular stomach, the sweat made her fur glisten.

SMACK

"Uhhhhh you okay sugarcube?"

"Never better ahahahahaha."

"Hmmm," She stared at me as I laughed nervously. Seriously, what the hell was wrong with! I shouldn't be staring at these girls like that but at the same time I just couldn't help but notice how hot each of the girls were, "Well if you say so."

Sector is clear...

"But I need to talk to ya."

NOT CLEAR, NOT CLEAR.

"Yeaaaaaaah?" I was had no idea what she wanted to talk about but I was nervous as all hell.

"What do you think about Fluttershy?" That was random.

"What do you mean?"

"What are your feelings on her?"

"..." What WERE my feelings on the timid mare, "I-I don't know."

"What do you mean 'you don't know'?" She questioned me but she seemed...angry for some reason.

"I-I just don't know," I sat down, "I have...mixed...feelings." I noticed the look she was giving me, "*sigh* I don't know how to explain it. I'm having a two man war inside of me. A side saying it's wrong to have...those...types of feelings for her, that it's unnatural,"

"But."

"But another part of me is saying that it's fine, that...having feelings like that is natural...even here." I-I just didn't know. GAHHH WHY DID SHE HAVE TO SAY THAT!

"What do you honestly think Shiro?" I looked up at her.

"What?"

"What are your honest opinions?" My honest opinions?

My mind flashed back to the conversations that i've had with the pegasus in the last couple of weeks. We both had a lot in common, we both got along well, she was pretty, funny and cute. My eyes widended when I finally realised the facts.

"I-I like Fluttershy." I breathed out. That made AJ smile, she patted my back.

"There ya go, it's always good to be honest with yourself." She winked at me and walked away. I just sat there in revelation after admiting something that i've, probably, been denying for weeks now. I created a portal back to mine and stepped through it, I didn't bother taking my clothes off and instead jumpped into my bed, falling into a deep slumber with a smile on my face.

=0=

"Okay wind magic flight test number #45. Height reached last test: half of the castle. Height wanting to reach: cloud height." I sighed as I tensed my legs in preperation to jump, my feet being coated in wind magic, "Begining test. NOW." And with that I kicked off the ground and begin kicking off the air. See the whole premise that I was basing this off of was the technique known as 'moonwalking' from One Piece, in One Piece it revovled around kicking off the air hard enough you can physically push off of it.

I got about halfway up when I began to feel my legs strain themselves, I winced but continued up wards. It took another five minutes before I reached just under the clouds but when I kicked off the air with my left foot I didn't push off of the air, well it was more like I COULDN'T push off the air, it seemed like my magic limiter was taking affect. I found a spell that was supposed to regulate the amount of magic one could use before they started to hurt themselves.

"OhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrapOhcrap." I began to madly flail about as I began my free fall to the ground. While I my be in 'My little pony' i'm sure as hell cartoon physics won't apply to me, meaning that when I hit the ground I won't make a me shaped hole but instead i'll go splat, as I got closer and closer to the ground I prepared to create a portal that would save me but I found that I wasn't falling anymore?

"What were you doing Shiro?" I heard a familier speedster pegasus say from my right side. I looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're a fucking life saver Rainbow." I breathed out.

"Someone trying with out wings? That's pretty weird." I then heard a different voice from my left. I glanced over to see a clawed hand hooked under my left arm.

"Two things, first can you guys put me down on the ground please? I'm starting to loose feelings in my arms and second aren't you gonna introduce me to your friend Dash?" I asked her.

"Oh right," Both Dash and Gilda floated me to the ground and let go once I was at a safe height. I brushed myself off and turned to face the pair and also getting a good look at Gilda.

She looked as she did in the show. White head feathers with a purple highlights around her eyes and brown feathers for her body. She was wearing a white shirt and a jacket that looked like it was made out of leather which ended of before her stomach and blak biker shorts. She wasn't wearing any shoes because of her talons.

"Shiro meet Gilda, Gilda meet Shiro."

"Sup/Yo." We both exchanged greatings casually.

"So what were you doing Shiro?" I heard Rainbow ask.

"Yeah it looked like you were trying to fly without wings." Gilda said to me.

"Kinda, I was using wind magic to basically kick off the air to propel me foward while also areodynamics to keep me in the air." They should know about areodynamics right?

"Areo-what?" Or not.

"Talk to Twilight about it because I don't know much about it either. So what brings you girls to my neck of the woods?"

"Just wanted to introduce ya to G." Rainbow said with a shrug.

"Hey guys." I heard Pinkie say.

Wait...

"Pinkie? When did you get here?" I questioned the pink mare.

"Just now." She cheerfully said.

"Hey Dash how about a race back to town?" Gilda hastely asked Rainbow while sending a glare at Pinkie.

"Heh your on G." Rainbow then sent me a look which I understood as 'Keep Pinkie occupied'

"Hey Pinkie."

"Yeah Shiro?"

"We haven't talked much have we?" Hopefully this will keep her occupied, and give me a headache at the same time.

"*GAAAAAAAAAASP*You'rerightwehaven'ttalkedmuchsinceyougothereandIalsohaven'tthrownyouapartyyethaveIwehavesomuchtocatchuponmpph." I decided to pinch her lips shut, I can already feel a migriane coming on.

"I take it that's a yes?" She nodded furiously which caused me to sigh but I created a portal to Ponyviller no matter how bad the headache will be. "Well after you then Pinks." And with that she jumped through the portal and if you wondering why I didn't warn Pinkie about the side effects it's because it's Pinkie Pie i'm sure she will she will be fine...I think. Anyway I turned back to Rainbow and Gilda, "I think I can keep her distracted for the day, even if the migraines are gonna be killer, that should give you guys enough time to hang out right?"

"Yeah and thanks again Shiro. Can't tell you how annoyning Pinkie has been lately." Rainbow told me while Gilda was hovering above. I sent a look her way and judging by her reaction, or lack of, she didn't notice, I turned my attention back to Rainbow.

"Hey can you blame her. All she wants is to make new friends." I told her with a shrug but before she flew away I grabbed her arm and leaned in close. Normally I don't like messing with the time line but with this, I wanted them to stay friends and maybe I can stop Gilda from scaring Flutters. 'Dash keep an eye on Gilda.' I didn't wait for an answer as I jumpped through my portal immediately after.

=0=

When I appeared on the other side I blinked to clear my vision only fo it to be filled with pink.

"Come on Shiro let's head to sugar cube corner." I felt my hand being grabbed and my feet lifted off...the...ground...

God damn it Pinkie.

After a few minutes of being man handled and dragged around like a ragdoll we found our selves in front of Sugarcube Corner and there wasn't much to say about it really. It was a two story buidling that resembled a gingerbread house, pink stars that led up to a brighter pink coloured door. I turned to look at the pink mare.

"Sooo why are we here exactly?"

"We're going to make..." I suddenly found myself in the kitchen? Da fuq! I thought this only happened because of the scene transitions. "A cake." Oh joy.

"Uhh Pinkie you should know that I am a terrible chief." I told her while scratching the back of my head.

"It's easy peasy lemon squeezy." She then produced a large cookbook from...somewhere. I honestly didn't care and just chalked it up to 'Pinkie logic'.

"So what kind of cake we making?" I asked her whilest tying a apron around my waist. It felt like I was back at secondary school.

"Mr and Mrs.Cake received a request for a three tired marble cake from Princess Celestia." That made me go wide eyed.

"Wait Cele asked for a cake to be made from here?"

"Mhm," She hummed while tying her own apron on and tying her hair up, "The Princess sometimes asks for a cake and because the Cakes are out they left me in charge." She then turned to me with a beaming smile. "So lets do our best."

"Right." I nodded back and so we both went to work. Pinkie worked on the sponges while I did the frosting.

It went...okay..in a way.

I messed up a bit.

"Ah crap!"

"What's up Shiro." I turned to face her and gestured to the frosting that was over my apron and, somehow, my face.

"This, is what's up." Pinkie just laughed at me. "It's not funny.

"Don't worry about it Shiro. Stuff like that always happens here."

But all in all it went alright.

"Phew finally finished." I sighed as I wiped my forehead. In front of us on the counter was a three tired whte marble cake with Celestia's cutie mark adorning the top for decoration and other sweet things here and there. Like strawberries and jam. Hell I even sneaked in a message to her at the base, all it said was 'Try not to eat it all in one go you cakeaholic. Shiro ;3'.

"Yep and i'm glad you helpped me. It took less time then if I were to do it alone." She smiled before staring at my face which was making me uncomfortable.

"Uhhh what you looking at Pinkie?" She didn't say anything but instead reached for my face and grabbed my cheeks which got me very confused. She then turned my head to the left and then the right before releasing me, she then took her finger and rubbed something of my cheeks before sticking it in her mouth. "Uhhhhhhhhh."

"You had some frosting on your face silly." She looked down at her own messy self and then mine before giggling. "Guess we should get ourselves washed huh."

I waved a dismissive hand at her. "Nah I can just use magic and an aqua sapphire to clean up but i'll see you later okay." She waved me off as she walked up stars most likely leading to her room.

I stepped outside and took out said gem from my bandolier that was around my waist. I pumped some magic into it making it glow before I crushed it letting the gems namesake take affect. I took great relief as I saw the frosting on my clothes get washed away by the gems power but because it was still technically water magic that I was using I still felt the sensation of getting wet and cold. I waited for the gems power to die down before taking out a fire ruby and repeating the same process. The cool thing about gems is that, if used in a certain way, will act as power magnifiers.

I cracked my fingers before deciding to take a walk around town.

I didn't know what I was hoping to find in all reallity, I guess I was hoping to catch Gilda before she scared Flutters.

"Yo Shiro right?"

'Speak of the devil and he shall appear.' I thought to myself as I heard the griffon's voice above me. I looked up at her. "Yeah that's right and you're Gilda." She then touched down next to me and stretched.

"That's right."

"So why aren't you with Dash?" I questionned her. I already had a good guess at the answer but it still couldn't hurt to know.

"Eh she said she had some weather jobs to take care of so I decided to fly around town a bit and then I spotted you and you seem kinda cool."

"Kinda' cool. Sure I might not be Dash cool but I'm still pretty badass." I decided to gloat a bit I mean I deserved it after all. I knew magic that only Princess Luna knew. She gained an odd glint in her eye.

"You badass, HA sure when pigs fly that is." I narrowed my eyes at her, a smirk starting to form on my face.

"Why do you say that."

"Because you're just some pansy magic user and a fleshy one at that." She emphasised that by poking my arm.

"Pansy magic user that could kick your ass in a fight." My smirk widened when I saw her eye twitch but was removed when I saw that she gained a-well the most acurate thing I could say was some kind of predatory glint in her eye.

Wait when did the sky switch places with her?

...

"Hoo geez." I suddenly found myself on my back, the air knocked out of me, Gilda straddling me and pinning my arms to the floor.

"I believe that's a point to me." She said with a lick of her lips. Jesus christ she was strong...and heavy. Then again she is part lion so I guess she would be heavier then a pony.

"That...doesn't...count." I managed to suck some air back into my lungs.

I saw her tail flick behind her. "Oh reaaaaaaaaaaally." She then leaned down close to me. "Then what does hmm?"

"This does." I said from behind her, my hand pressed against the back of her neck in a 'gun' gesture.

"Huh?" She looked back and then down to the ground just in time to see 'me' dissapear in smoke.

"Invisibility and clones. Gotta love 'em." I smuggly said.

"Nice trick." I then felt something wrap around my left ankle, I looked down to see that it was her tail. "How do you like mine?" She suddenly tugged at my feet with her tail sending me airborn for a second time but this time instead of hitting the ground I fell on something softer.

"Wha?" I tried to move my limbs but found that I couldn't.

"That's another point to me~" I tired looking at her face, the key word being 'tried', but I was laying on my back on top of her, her limbs wrapped around mine in some kind of odd hug.

"Uhhhh what's going on here?" I heard a certain speedster ask.

"Nothing much just showing Shiro here that I'm better then him." Gilda smuggly said.

"This doesn't prove anything." I all but growled out, still trying to get out of her stupidly strong grip.

A few minuets later

"CAN YOU LET GO NOW!" I was starting to get a liiiiiitle bit annoyed as I spent the past five minutes trying to get out of Gilda's grip as she casually chatted to Dash.

"Huh? Oh right I forgot about you." I barely managed to keep in a growl but I held strong as she released me. I stood up and dusted myself off, then created a portal back to my castle.

"This is not over Gilda." I sent a friendly, challenging glare her way before walking into my portal.

3rd person

"So Dash you gonna go after him or what. Coz if your not then I will." She sent a suggestive eyebrow wave her way.

"Nahh he's cool and all but not my kind of cool and besides I'm pretty sure Fluttershy likes him anyway."

"Who? You mean that timid pegasus?" Gilda asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah." The two idly chatted and flew away.

Author's Note
