It had been three years since Daniel arrived in Equestria. He had settled down in Ponyville, always spending time repairing the Olympia Minsk so that it could be restored to operational status. Whenever he wasn't busy, he would talk with the Mane Six, and other times, he would talk with the CMC and their families, whom he got along with.

Whenever he got the chance to visit, Prince Virgil always sought Daniel's advice on how to strengthen his friendship with Princess Violet. Daniel always gave Virgil great advice to the point that Princess Violet and Prince Virgil begun have more fun together.

Daniel saw the potential that Orichalcum had provided. He had tested it and came to the conclusion that it can not only repair the ship, but also power up his bionic suit, and provide unlimited energy for the Olympia Minsk. He asked Twilight if he could have enough Orichalcum to repair his ship and power up his bionic suit. After giving her reassurances that the Orichalcum was in good hands, Twilight agreed and within three years, the Olympia Minsk was repaired. Now all that was left to do was repair the middle compartment, install the Orichalcum in the ship's power core, and the Olympia Minsk would be back in operation.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
We see Daniel hanging outside of the hull of the Olympia Minsk, with a crate next to him. As he was relaxing, he heard a voice.

"Daddy!"

"Glenda," said Daniel, as he catches his three year old daughter.

"How was your day? Did you enjoy your day at the Junior Speedster's Academy?" Asked Daniel

"It was great. Though some of the student's say I'm a freak," said Glenda sadly.

"Oh boy, here we go again," said Daniel.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
A month after he arrived in Equestria, Daniel started a tour to visit the various parts of Equestria. He decided to see the Griffons, because he had never actually seen a Griffon before and wanted to have a look. He got along with the Griffons. Unfortunately, he picked the worst time to visit the Griffons, as it was the annual Griffon mating season.

During the mating season, he had encounter a griffon, and she was desperately needing some relief. So Daniel and the griffon spent the week making love over and over again, and it was only possible because Daniel was, well, not completely 100% pure human in a way. After the week came to a end, Daniel left and went back home.

Nine months later, Daniel was relaxing one night during a storm, when he heard a knock at the door and went to open it. At first, he doesn't see anyone. Then he looked down and saw a cardboard box with a female human looking infant inside.

Daniel was surprised, so he took the infant inside and decided to see how the infant was doing when the infant suddenly sprouted some wings from her blanket.

It was then that Daniel unwrapped the blanket and was surpried to see that the upper part was human, with pale white skin, white hair, and yellow eyes. She also had wings on her back, her hands were sharp claws, and her arms up to her elbow were covered in scales.

The most surprising part was that below the infants waist, she had a tail, and strong lions leg and paws.

She was a Human-Griffon hybrid.

Daniel then noticed a note on the box and read the note:

"Dear Danial..."
"It's me. You know? The griffon who asked you to help satisfy her carnal needs? Yeah, anyways, how are you? I bet your doing fine. Anyway, after you left, I thought that that was it. I was satisfied. It never came to my mind that it was possible for a human and griffon to be able to reproduce. Well surprise, apparently, they can. It was about five months after our encounter that I realized that I was pregnant. I was freaking out. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't ready to be a parent. So just a month before our daughter was born, I made the decision to leave her with you, because I knew deep down that you would be able to take care of her. Her name is Glenda. Maybe we will encounter each other again soon. Until then, take care of our daughter."

"From yours truly"

"Gilda"

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

"Daddy, why do the others hate me?" asked Glenda

"It's because they don't understand. Because you're special. You're one of a kind. You're not a freak. Your a Medkos, and we are strong and proud. We won't and don't tolerate bullying. So the next time anyone tries to mess with you, just ignore them, or tell me, or the teacher, ok?" asked Daniel.

"Ok daddy, I will," said Glenda

"Yeah, who's daddy's little soldier?" asked Daniel

"I am. I am daddy's brave little soldier," said Glenda, laughing all the while

Glenda then asked her father, "Daddy, can I go hang out with CMC?"

Daniel replied, "Of course you can dear. Just stay safe, okay? And ask their parents, alright?" He said

"Okay daddy, bye," said Glenda, as she went to meet with the CMC

Daniel looked on as Glenda flew towards the CMC clubhouse, his smile never fading. But then he had some worries. He knew that Darren Sr would accept Glenda into their family. But would Darren Jr do the same?

After she was gone, he was about to get to work when he heard someone.

"Hey Daniel!"

"Oh, why hello there Spike, how are you on this fine day?" Asked Daniel

"I just came over to help out," said Spike

"Really? That's wonderful, I need all the help I can get if I'm going to get the Olympia Minsk back to operational status," said Daniel

So he and Spike spent the next two weeks repairing the middle compartment and restoring the interior of the hull. Then came the time to install the Orichalcum into the power core. Spike was unsure of this.

"I don't know about this Daniel. Are you sure it will work?" asked Spike

"Don't worry Spike, I have confidence that this will work," said Daniel, as he installed the Orichalcum into the power core. Then, the entire interior lit up. Daniel smiled.

"It worked! Come on Spike, we have got to head to the bridge!" said Daniel, as he and Spike went up to the bridge.

When they arrived, the bridge looked good as new. Daniel then went up to the control pad and pressed a button.

"Gabe, come in," said Daniel

Spike then watched with interest as a small, blue transparent man appeared on a pocket watch like pedestal.

"Sir! You're still alive?" asked Gabe with complete surprise

"That's right Gabe. I'm still here," said Daniel

"How long was I disabled for, sir?" asked Gabe

"About three years. You've been disabled for three years," said Daniel

"Three years! I was out for three years?!" asked Gabe

"Yeah, pretty much," said Daniel

"Oh man, I have so much to do, I have to reboot the systems, check to see if communication has been reestablished with Control Room, reboot all weapons systems..." said Gabe, completely distressed

"Oh boy, this Gabe is like a miniature version of Twilight," said Spike

It was at that point that Gabe looked and saw Spike, becoming even more confused.

"Sir, what's that behind you?" asked Gabe

"Gabe, this is Spike. Apparently, the planet that we crash landed is actually filled with intelligent life. It's a lot to explain," said Daniel

Gabe said nothing, as he tried to process all the information.

"Spike, get everypony from Ponyville to see me take off. No, I'm not leaving Equestria. I'm just going to take a look around the planet. Make sure that they are not too close to the ship, ok?" asked Danie

"Sure thing Daniel," said Spike, as he went to tell everypony the big news.

Daniel smiled at the fact that the Olympia Minsk was back in business.

"This is going to be fun," he said

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Everypony in Ponyville was given the big news, and soon, everypony from Ponyville arrived to see the ship take off. However, they took heed of the warning and kept their distance. The young were allowed to travel with Daniel.

On the captain's bridge, Glenda was with her friends, the CMC, their offspring, Princess Violet and Prince Virgil, who wanted to give Violet a playdate she would love and remember forever. It was also Violet's fifth birthday on the day that the Olympia Minsk would take off. So he was able to convince Daniel to allow him and Violet at the captain's bridge, instead of the designated viewing room. Needless to say, Violet was so happy at this birthday gift, that she surprised Virgil by giving him a great big hug, momentarily paralyzing him. Virgil smiled, now certain that he and Violet were going to be the greatest friends in the future.

Then, the time came for the ship to take off. Daniel began powering the ship. Then he inserted a key, twisted it, and a button appeared. Daniel looked at Glenda. He smiled.

"Glenda, you want to start up the engines?" asked Daniel

"Yes please!" Glenda said excitingly

Glenda flew up to the button and counted down to one, then pressed the button and the engines fired up and the ship began a vertical climb towards space. Everypony was elated. Then the ship finally reached space and everypony looked out and was in awe, looking at the planet and at space.

In the captain's bridge, Glenda, the CMC, their offspring, Violet, and Virgil were in awe at the sight before them.

"This is so cool," said Glenda

"A'h just might agree with you on that one Glenda," said Apple Bloom

"Wow, so this is what space is like," muttered Sweetie Bell

"This is way beyond cool," said Scootaloo

"Oh Virgil, thank you for giving me the best birthday present ever," said Violet happily

"Well, I can't take all the credit. I had a little help from Daniel," said Virgil

"Thanks Daniel. Your the best!" said Violet

"Ehh, no problem."

Daniel looked out into space and smiled. He would find a way home, unaware that he would be able to go home, just not in the way he expected...

Author's Note

Well, Chapter one got off pretty well. This is the first time we see my OC's daughter, Glenda. How do you feel about her? Tell me what you think. Daniel is beginning to grow insecure about the future, but those insecuritys will serve him well in a way. The final line is a foreshadowing of what is to come. This is the second time that Darren Sr and Darren Jr have been mentioned, but don't worry, they will appear soon. And the part about Daniel able to have Glenda will be explained in a future chapter. Until then, see you next time on Chapter 2: Ponies learn about Earth.
