*In the human world*

Discord pulled himself through the portal. The unknown room made his stomach lurch in excitement. He walked around the house and looked at the Casper family picture. "These things look weirder than me" He said gagging a bit. He poofed into Astin's room to see Luna and Celestia snuggled in Astin's embrace. Discord screamed waking the 3 causing them to scream. "Celestia?!" He yells. "Discord?!" The sun princess squeals. "DISCORD?!" Luna yelps blushing deeply. "LUNA?!" Discord yells playfully.

"Astin..." Astin grumbles wiping the sleep from his eyes. The princesses smile at the human laying him down. "go back to sleep, Beloved" Luna says with a wink before going downstairs with Celestia and Discord in tow. "How did you get here?" Celestia questions looking around. "The window. duh!" he says with his usual mischievous voice. Luna runs to the window "Celestia this is our way back home" Luna says happily.

Celestia isn't happy in the slightest "What if he doesn't want to go to Equestria. We can't just uproot him from his home Luna."

"You both have duties to Equestria, There are no plants, no food, The sun has been gone for more than a month" Discord snarls. Celestia holds her hoof over her mouth and sobs silently. Luna looked away her eyes filled with guilt.

Astin stumbles into the room and looks at them. "What's going on?" He questions looking at them. "Celestia and Luna are coming back to Equestria with me" Discord says with a firm tone.

Astin tensed feeling then urge to fight back against the draconequus. "Oh really..." He says in a confident tone "Then I shall go with them"

The draconequus rolled his eyes. "Now who would accept you, You are a furless monkey with no tail. I speak from personal experience of not making much sense" He hissed.

Astin kept his cool walking over to the draconequus with such a powerful stride and posture that it left the princesses speechless. "Now I'm not like you Discord. I heard about you being turned to stone but according to my account it was not your appearance that turned you to stone but your actions." He says in his own low royal canterlot voice making the draconequus flinch.

Astin stared at Discord mentally not knowing what came over him. Luna and Celestia brush against his legs gaining the attention of their King. Discord instantly packs a bag for the human with his magic despite his amusement. The draconequus poofed the bag into the human's hands making him gasp. "T-Thanks I guess" He says snapping out of his trance. "Wait can i send a few messages really quick" He asks gaining a nod from Luna.

He quickly runs into the attic sending messages to all his friends that he was 'Traveling the world'. He sends a message to Shelby with all the details before closing his laptop and packing it along with its charger in his bag. He runs back downstairs and nods to Discord who walks into the portal first.

Luna and Celestia both walk in before him disappearing into the window. He stared anxiously into the window. 'What if they don't accept me?' he asks himself. 'Then we'll do our best besides all we need is Celestia and Luna' He assures himself before taking a deep breath. He steps into the portal feeling no ground inside. He closes his eyes tightly jumping in.

*In Equestria*

The portal made him feel a feeling of dread as he fell into nothingness. There was a bit of nausea before he fell on his face in Equestria. "Owwww my life" He cried holding his bleeding nose making Luna burst into a laughing fit. Celestia smiles healing his nose with her magic.
Celestia turned and looked around. Her eyes found a corrupted Cadance.

"CADANCE?!" She exclaimed running to the mare. She tapped her stiff metallic body with her hoof. Discord teleported her away "Shining Armor said it might be contagious or something like that" He says with a sad look in his eyes "It's made up of chaos magic that counters my own"

Astin saw a gleam in her eyes and reached for the mare. Luna grabbed his hand with her blue magic and pulled him out of the room. Celestia and Luna followed Discord to the Medical Wing. They paled seeing Twilight in the bed surrounded by all of her friends.

"Twilight..." Celestia says making everyone look toward her with wide eyes.
"CELESTIA!!!" They all cried jumping onto the sun princess. Luna snickers a bit swallowing a bit of jealousy. Everyone looked to the weird creature behind her with curious looks. Twilight's eyes gleamed "Ouuu a new species" She says bouncing over to him similar to how Pinkie Pie would. Astin laughs softly not used to all this attention.

"This is our special somepony. His name is Astin" Celestia says blushing a bit. Twilight's jaw dropped "No Way!" She exclaims as she observes him. Astin nods feeling a bit self concious. "This calls for a PARTY!!!" Pinkie yells setting off her party canons.

"Well ah'll be darned" AppleJack says with a congratulatory smile. Rarity looks at him starry eyed "He is quite handsome" She says patting both princesses on the back. "T-That's good and all but the sun" Fluttershy mumbles looking outside. Celestia nods as she focused her magic on the sun. Her body raises off the ground a bit as the sun raised bathing the world in its light.

Everyone stomped their hooves happily in applause. Twilight taps Celestia with her hoof gaining her attention. "Can I talk to you alone with Pinkie" Twilight pleads. Celestia nods and turns "May I have a word with my prized pupil" She says respectfully. Everyone except Pinkie left the room giving their bows.

Twilight blushes attempting to clear her throat "You aren't the only one to find her special somepony. Mine is..." She says too low for the princess to hear. "Excuse me but I couldn't hear you." She says watching Twilight's blush spread. Twilight covered her face with the blanket "It's Pinkie" She whispers making Celestia gasp. She was not expecting this pairing. Pinkie bounced to Twilight's side "Yessiree, Me and Twilight are special someponies" She says with a sheepish smile.

Celestia smiled "Congratulations you two. You have my blessings in the years to come" She says nudging Pinkie towards Twilight. They blush a bit before sharing a quick kiss as Celestia walked out of the room.
