(Twilight's POV, during Aza's study section of current law system)

"Why isn't he paying attention?" I thought as crossed my legs again, I've been at this teasing game for two days and not a single response. A positive one at least, his mane has been going from white to its original form like a rave party...so basically, my approach seems to be getting him further away from me rather than lure him in. Curse the book about seducing methods! I've been following it down to the letter but nothing! 'BAM' Aza scared the hay out of me by closing the book he was holding that quickly. He then got out of the library, in the middle of our study section! The nerve!

I went back to my room where Spike was sleeping on his bed snoring loudly. From inside the pillow, I pulled out the book I've been using.

"Sure shot techniques...Yeah right." I said looking at the cover. I then opened the tome and started to browse through the pages, it says here that males and females that can be easily attracted by these kinds of clothes and behavior. "So why the hay isn't you responding Aza?!"

"Maybe because you don't actually know the guy?" Spike said from his bed while he whipped his eyes.

"Sorry Spike, did I wake you?"

"No, I've put an alarm underneath my pillow that shakes a lot. So it went off and I woke up." He said before yawning, since when did he have that? "I had that for a while but didn't use it since you tend to wake me before it goes off. It's kinda weird to wake up on my own. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for the extra sleep time since you want to pass so much time with Aza." I felt my face heat up when he said the last part...I guess it's way too obvious right?

"That transparent?"

"That transparent."

"But what do you mean 'you don't actually know the guy'? I live with him for Celestia's sake!"

"Then what does he like to do in his spare time?"

"..." Come on! Think! I know something! I know the answer! "He sings!"

"He sucks at singing," Really now?! "He actually likes to draw and read." OH! COME ON! "Do you know what he doesn't like?"

"BLUE BLOOD!" I shot immediately.

"That's a who not a what." He's...right. Seriously...do I know anything him? "What does he like?"

"ROSES!" That one I knew, because his...his son told me. I don't actually know him at all. I've been living with him and I don't know the first thing about him. I fell on my bed realizing this as the book slipped from my hands.

"Understand what I mean now?" I nodded affirmatively. "Ok. I'm gonna give you a claw. For what I know I think he has some sort of problem when dealing with any of us." A problem? he never gave any signs of that before...unless I was too scared to notice. Dammit! I backed myself into a corner because of my irrational behavior!

"What do you mean?" I asked while turning towards Spike.

"He...I don't know, he seems to think too little about himself. Like he was always worried about dragging me down or being a burden whenever we talked." Wait...they were close? OH MY GOSH TWILIGHT! YOU'VE BLIND THIS WHOLE TIME!

"Please tell me what you know about him." I pleaded with Spike, he frowned and gave me a glare before heading to the bathroom.

"If you want a shot at a relationship with Aza you better do it yourself. I'm your assistant when it comes to your studies and duties with the princess, I am not going to meddle in your love life Twi. Not this kind of meddling." He answered before slamming the door.

"He's...right. I need to do this on my own, ok...think. I'll wait for him to come back...then I keep these clothes on just to make sure the book wasn't wrong. Then I...try to talk to him about something that isn't...studies...that's the only thing I've been doing with him! I haven't done anything else! What am I supposed to talk about?! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!" I thought to myself as I pressed my temples trying to think.

"SPIIIIIIIKE!" I yelled. "PLEASE HELP ME COME UP WITH A CONVERSATION TOPICS LIST!" The answer to my request was a long and loud sigh.

After a few hours of discussion, I had a complete scroll filled with different options that could start a conversation without making it weird to anypony! YES! Now all I had to do was wait for him to come back. Spike was laying on the floor with a quill in his hand when I received a message from Pinkie...Pinkie. I...haven't has been exactly a good friend, she went through a lot of trouble to make me and the girls be more receptive towards him...and we ignored it and tried to turn him into a mindless slave. I picked up my phone and looked at the message.

"Hey! I need you, girls, to come on over. Aza fell unconscious in my room after he got into an accident with one of my party canons while trying to cheer me up."

"YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I thought as I got up and grabbed Spike with my magic and ran out of the library.

(Applejack's POV, when Aza was heading towards the farm during his mental argument with Nightmare Moon)

"Gotta keep in shape!" I said as I bucked another tree and made the apples fall on their buckets. "I can't have Aza thinking I can't handle myself after that hydra fight. That pony knew how to throw a punch! I still couldn't believe he broke that thing's forelegs with his bare fists!" I couldn't help but keep remembering him saving us by making that hydra chase him every single time I closed mah eyes. And when I remembered about him dodging that thing's attack I remembered feeling mah heart get tighter every time the hydra tried to hit him.

"You're at again aren't you Applejack?" I snapped back into reality by Granny Smith's voice. I felt my face lit up as I turned around, I'm a terrible liar so if you've known me for long enough you can probably read me like a book. "Thinking about that Aza fellow again ain't ya. You need to speak to that fellow now. Otherwise, you might lose him those city mares."

"G-granny! I know what I'm doing! I'll talk to him next time he comes to work." I actually dismissed him after the apple bucking season telling him only to come by when I asked because there wasn't much work left to do and...because I was still afraid of the fella. Which was when I got stressed out, so...yeah...I don't think he'll come by before I give him a call. "I'm gonna bring these apples back to the barn, you get back to the house carefully, okay?"

She nodded before turning back and heading back home, I, on the other hand, got to those buckets. I can carry up to two of the huge ones. One in each arm, they are about as large as a boulder and when they are completely full they weight about as much, way more than what your average earth pony can lift I can say I'm very proud of mah strength. Big Mac, on the other hand, can carry three of those, one on each arm and one on his back using a mount like it's some kind of backpack, which is more than anypony I've ever known can carry, I tried but I didn't manage. Granny told me she woke up during the night of the apple bucking season she went to get some water and saw a shadow with green glowing eyes breathing very heavily while dragging his feet on the ground and carrying three of our buckets.

That had to be Aza, even if he was struggling he lifted those buckets and prepared everything in one night. That's very surprising considering how scrawny he is. Full of surprises that one is, once I had placed the buckets in the barn I came out and saw Aza turning away from Big Mac. I picked up the pace and shouted "AZA! How are you doing partner?"

"Like a pile of trash that I am," He answered while resuming his walk. "I better get back home before I get an earful from Twil. I left in the middle of the lesson." Really now? For Pete's sake! He finally comes back and suddenly he's gone again! But then again...Twilight can be really scary. I simply left out a sigh, once he was far away I turned to mah brother and asked.

"What did he want?"

"I think he came to work but once he learned that you've been talking non-stop he left." I felt mah ears fall as I stood there, he left once he heard I was talking about him? Did I scare him? Or he doesn't like me? "But before that, he basically said that you would be better off finding someponyelse since being with him would be dangerous if people decided to go after him because of what he looks like." He...he was concerned for mah safety? He didn't want me to become a target...that's sweet. But...I can handle myself just fine!

I slapped myself on both of my cheeks shook mah head and went back to the orchard. I'm gonna show him! "I'm way stronger than I look! He's gonna see it!" I said starting to kick trees left and right. After about an hour of non-stop kicking, I heard my phone go off. It was Pinkie, I've been meaning to talk to her and apologize to her because of how I agreed to Twilight's plan to turn him into a puppet. There are no words to describe how much I regret that decision, then I took a look at the message.

"Hey! I need you, girls, to come on over. Aza fell unconscious in my room after he got into an accident with one of my party canons while trying to cheer me up."

I simply ran like had just seen a snake and had to get away. I'm a rodeo pony so I can run fairly fast when I had Sugar Cube Corner on sight I saw Twilight run inside with Spike being carried with her magic, then Fluttershy, Rainbow and then Rarity. She called all of the girls...okay. Going through the front door and ran up the stairs, while I did so I heard a series of gasps coming from the room, once inside I also let out a gasp due to the sight in front of me.

Pinkie was trying to undress out of an unconscious Aza that laid flat on the floor with his face covered in cake frost and was wearing a fancy-looking dress.

"WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOING ON!?"

"HANDS OF THE MERCHANDISE!" He shouted getting up.

(Aza's POV immediately after his blackout due to Pinkie's antics)

"Shewasreadingmymindwasanearthpony. Shewasreadingmymindandwasanearthpony. Shecan'tusemagicandyetwasreadingmymi-" I was slapped on the face by a black mare before I could continue my thought frenzy.

"Snap out of it and get rid of these bunnies and rainbows!" I shook my head and looked around, I was basically in a beautiful day with dozens of rainbows in the sky and a lot of fluffy little bunnies hopping around happily and... an annoyed Nightmare buried in fluffy little bunnies that were hugging her to the point she couldn't move.

"This..."

"Don't you dare."

"...is..."

"If you say it I'm gonna get you."

"...so..."

"I am warning you."

"ADORABLE!"

"I am going to kill you!"

"Sorry! Sorry." I said as the entire scenery reverted to a peaceful night with a full moon illuminating the sky. She got up dusting off her...jacket. "New look?" She then proceeded to strike a pose to show her garments, instead of a black dress she was wearing a black jacket, dark blue shirt, light blue jeans and a long silver necklace with a moon pendant. "Why?" I asked while looking the clothes that seemed to emphasize her...

"It's rude to stare you know?" My mane shifted into pink. "Though in your case I'll make an exception. As for 'why'...why not? A little change never hurt anypony. And you seem pleased by these." She said with a smug smile striking another pose to emphasize her body, my mane turned into a pink flame before I shook my head and tried to come up with a retort. "You know...I LOVE to mess around with you since you're so easy to fluster."

"And you're probably jealous of the other girls trying to get to me while I'm awake. Hence the clothes change." I got a dagger pointed at me from her eyes due to this little comment..."But I prefer the older look. Fits a royalty title holder better than the everyday clothes. Not to mention all the black makes your eyes stand out more than your body." I earned a frown from that. "What? I think your eyes are very VERY beautiful. They look like aquamarines."

"You're off the hook, for now." She said turning away in a manner that I couldn't see her face. "Well, you're not gonna wake up for a while due to the shock so...what to do? I have *some* ideas."

"If you offer me sex I promise to recreate the happy-go-lucky scenario with house-sized bunnies that taint everything the hug with rainbows and there will be a humongous smiling sun that will keep giving you good pep-talks every ten minutes," I said with a serious look while I glared at her, she turned towards me with a concerned smile before she answered me.

"H-h-how about some sparring?" Good, my point came across.

"Sounds good, let's let out some steam.Do you have a battle garment?"

"Of course!"

"But..." I thought of asking something before we started, but I decided not to. "...come at me with everything you have! Fair warning though: I suck at this!"

(The creation's POV present time)

"WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOING ON!?"

I found my way back into my old body and saw the one called Pinkie taking a dress from me and heard that.

"HANDS OFF THE MERCHANDISE!" I yelled at the pink mare making her jump away and let out an 'eep'. "Thank you. Now let's see here..." I got up and undressed that fancy looking thing. "What the heck you've been up to dad?"

"Dad?" A familiar voice said I turned to look and saw a familiar lavender pony standing there confused. "Aza, why are your eyes pitch black?"

"Oh! It's you! Summoner! Sorry about this, but Azvameth is currently sleeping." Her eyes widened before they narrowed at me, I felt in danger so I continued. "Azvameth's original body died of old age and I got back. But don't worry I'm gonna allocate myself in his heart and try to offer him an ear and listen to any of his troubles. I do NOT intend to get my body back. I'm satisfied with the life I lived." She dropped her guard a little bit before she got into a neutral stance again.

"Who is this guy?" The flying blue one said.

"He is Azvameth's son." All of them gasped at that and looked very worried about that almost as if they...Oooooooh, you better at this than I thought dad. You got these six to fall for you.

"Son is a manner of speaking." They stopped looking at each other and turned to me. "He imagined me and I came to be. I'm actually a character from one of his stories, the name's Filin."

"Stories?" The one I knew asked with a glimmer coming from her eyes.

"Listen before you ask about who he was. That guy doesn't exist anymore. The purge remember?" Her ears fell flat as the others looked at me in confusion. "Anyways I guess I need to bring myself up to speed right now, so I know what he has gone through. Give me a second so I can poke around his mind. Then I can clarify some stuff about this body to you girls with a little Q/A. That okay with you all?"

"Yes!" They answered in synch. Wow, what the heck did you do dad?

Author's Note

"Why did you run?"

"Because you scare me a little bit with the whole reality breaking thing. And you're not supposed to be here. Can you untie me please?"

"Only if you don't run away again."

"Okay." *unties* "Thanks. What did you want to talk about?"

"Do you like cake?"

"...yes."

"Okay!" *opens up a tear in time and space before disappearing into it.*

"Okay..."

This chapter is a bit shorter, but the next one will have a lot of exposition about the current situation and the society since Aza seems to be having trouble studying. Have a nice day!
