Ponyville, 3 Months Later, Rainbows House 4:35 p.m.
P.o.v- Thomas

"Thomas... what are you doing?" Rainbow asked me as she watched me meditate in the middle of the room. It was something I had picked up a long time ago to control my anger, after the whole Nightmare Moon thing along with all the other smaller things that kinda peeved me a little. Like how Applejack was too stubborn to ask for help and became sleep-deprived, the other was helping the town understand that a friendly woman named Zecora wasn't a witch bent on taking over their town, then the whole Trixie thing happened which was a mess, and so on so forth. Now everything was starting to finally calm down around here, or at least, that's what I thought.

"The better question is, what are you doing with that fancy dress?" I asked not even turning around.

"Well-its-uh, nothing special, just something that Rarity whipped up for that stupid gala thing happening in Canterlot tonight" Rainbow said, I peeked behind me to see said dress and I had to admit, she look gorgeous in it. "She, also wanted us to try it on and I wanted to... to g-get someone's opinion on it, cause I'm pretty sure I look awesome in it, but I wanted someone else to verify that" she said as she cleared her throat attempting to get rid of her small blush.

"Well, you look amazing Rainbow" I answered and I could sense a small form of giddiness coming from the tomboy. "It is strange seeing you in a dress since you mostly dress like me or my friends" I admitted grinning a bit.

"Well, I-I wanted to try something new for a change, nothing wrong with that, right?" Rainbow said, trying to play it cool when I knew she was embarrassed showing a girly side.

"Correct, nothing wrong with being a little girly Rainbow, no one will judge you on your decisions and those who do, are never worth you time" I said, getting up and stretched a bit. "I believe, you should do whatever you feel is right, whether people like it or not, it's all about how you feel and if it feels right to you, then no one should ever tell you otherwise, that reminds me of a quote from my favorite back home" I said turning to her and her face was shocked, blank, and bright red. "Who cares what other people think, they don't decide who you are, you do. You are, who you choose to be" I finished.

"Wow, uh... thanks for the words of encouragement" Rainbow simply said, I gave her a small smile and started heading upstairs. "Those are some pretty wise words to come up with on the fly"

"Well, I didn't just make them up, it's what I believe in and it's what my mother would tell me whenever I felt nervous or unsure about something also, it came from that movie I said earlier" I said. "Anyways, if you need me I'll be in the shower, just knock if you need something" I called out as I finished climbing the stairs and went to my room.

Upon entering my entering room, I began taking off my clothes to get ready for a shower. Although, when seeing my clothes, I realized how much of a toll they've taken since getting here. I did ask Rarity if she could make me new clothes, but her response was that it would take a week or two.

So in the end, I asked her to re-sew my torn shirt and pants. After that I might've swiped some things on my way out the door, it was just some black sweats and underwear.

"I hope Rarity hurries with that request, I'm running out of things to wear" I muttered to myself and thanked god that I did laundry yesterday. Grabbing some clean clothes, I headed towards the bathroom to start my shower, only to be halted by a knock on my door.

"Hey Thomas, you mind helping me unzip the dress?" Rainbow asked as she walked in my room then froze.

"Whoa, I didn't even know you could turn that red, but sure Rainbow I'll be happy to help" I said slippin on some shorts Rainbow gave me a while back and walked towards the frozen girl.

"Uuuuuuh- on second thought, I can take it off, no need to help Thomas!" Rainbow exclaimed breaking from her frozen stance and backed up.

"It's really no big deal Rainbow, honestly, you're acting like you've never seen a guy without a shirt on before" I joked throwing my clothes on the bed and stopped her. "I insist Dash, now then lets have a look at that zipper" I said and with a defeated sigh, the girl turned around and moved her hair to the side.

"Careful back their Thomas, this dress is extremely important to me- I mean Rarity, its important to Rarity" Rainbow suddenly said and I can see her ears turn red.

"Its okay if you like the dress Rainbow, you look rather nice wearing it" I said and began unzipping. "Maybe you should wear them more often eh" I joked and finished unzipping her dress.

"Yeah, yeah, not a chance, this will be the only dress you'll ever see me in" Rainbow stated and didn't realize she was wearing the same attire as I.

"You know, I thought you were the type to wear boxers and a training bra... this is a nice surprise" I said chuckling seeing the pink bra and panties cling to her taut but filled out body, and something kinda strange on her shoulder, it looked like a cloud with a rainbow lighting bolt and I couldn't help but stare at it. "Amazing" I unknowingly said out loud before poking the image.

Rainbow gave out a small yelp before I felt a small sting on my left cheek and a ringing from my ear. She glared at me with an apple red face then dashed out the room, dress in tow.

"Yeesh, I feel like I could've worded that better, might have to apologize later, but for now" I said grabbing my clothes and walked to the bathroom. "I need to take a shower, grab some groceries and clean the house" I listed off then stopped. "Pff, I sound like a house husband, oh well"

And with that, I made my way towards the shower.

Canterlot Castle- Jackson's Room
P.o.v- Jackson

"Do I really have to wear this... this... this-"

"Suit?" Celestia finished for me as the maids continued making said suit. "Honestly Jackson what did you expect, all members of the royal staff must attend the Grand Galloping Gala with formal wear" She stated and I groaned. "Oh stop being such a baby, you look great so far, and maybe if you're lucky a certain air-user might be there as well" Celestia teased with a shit eating grin.

"Yeah, yeah, real cute Tia" I remarked and let the maids continue their work. I gotta say, the suit was actually feeling pretty comfortable all considering, also, this will be the first formal attire I will ever own in my life. "*Sigh* have you sent out the invites?" I asked the woman and the waves from her hair stopped and her face turned pale. "Who'd you forget Tia?"

"Well... its all a matter of who didn't get the invitation and what happened to said invitation in the mail and-"

"Oh dear lord you forgot Thomas" I said with a stunned look on my face.

"You see, I was rather busy bonding with my sister that was gone for a thousand years and seem to have lost the... invite... for... Thomas" Celestia mumbled out and could feel the burning rage coming from me.

"Tia... I cant tell if I'm okay with this little mistake, or Im so unbelievably enraged that Ive come full circle to even get angry" I said and the maids were understandably backing away. "Now tell me Tia, before I rip you a new one, can you tell me what YOU told me to do two months ago?" I asked.

"To... make enough-"

"To make enough invites, yes, and now you're telling me that I slaved for two months, thirty-six hours, twelve minutes and thirty seconds, just so you can lose what I worked so hard on" I stated and now I was feeling the anger rising inside of me. "Did I miss anything?"

"Uhm-"

"No? Good, good, because do you know what we are going to do Princess?" I interrupted while asking with gritted teeth.

"Make a new-"

"Make a new invitation, except this time we are going to personally hand deliver it to Thomas" I said interrupting her once more. "Do you understand Celestia?" I simply asked giving the coldest and most rage induced look I can fathom, she nodded terrified and jumped when I stepped down from the pedestal I was on.

"R-Right now?" She whimpered.

"Tia... you have five seconds before I go into a complete murderous rage, so if you don't want that to happen then I suggest you get out of my room, get the fanciest piece of paper you can find, get the most elegant pen you have, and write an invitation so damn good I'll be crying my eyes out just looking at it" I stated calmly and she shook in fear.

"U-Uh..."

"Bye" I said and instantly she took off in a hurry.

"U-Uh mr. Jackson sir?" The maid called and I looked towards the two. "W-Was scaring princess Celestia really n-necessary?" She asked and I gave a small snort.

"Why indeed ms. Indigo, because I'm sure that lazy princess would've gotten her other maids to make the invitation" I said and stood back on the table. "So a little fear never hurt anyone... okay scratch that, it did a few times, but I'm not gonna get into that, *ahem* shall we finish the suit ladies?" I asked and the two nodded before going back to making the suit.

It wasn't until a few minutes later did they finish and leave me to my own devices. I changed into some shorts and a blue shirt before heading out to the balcony near my room. I sat on a little red couch that was in the middle of the balcony and blissfully looked across the land, taking in every second of the beautiful scenery, it looked like something out of a painting made by the best artist. I sighed happily and continued to look out unto the world.

"Greetings!" I heard as Luna sprung out of nowhere.

"Jesus Christ in heaven!" I yelped, almost toppling the couch back. "Luna, we talked about the sneaking" I reminded as she sat down.

"But thou looketh so peaceful, We could not resist" Luna spoke, her manner of speaking changed after a few months when she got her original form back. Because she got her old form back, her old ways flew right back to her, now she speaks like a woman from the medieval era, and looks like an eighteen year old. "So what is thou doing out here?" She asked.

"Just... thinking is all... about my life back home" I said and smiled. "My mom, my dad, if they could see me now, Im sure they would feel proud in some regard" I said.

"What was thou's life like, backeth home?" Luna asked intrigued.

"Well... aside from kicking ass and helping Thomas with bullies, I was just a regular highschool kid with a loving family, good grades, and pretty athletically skilled... I had a great life in all honesty" I answered. "Although, I felt like something was missing from my it, that is, until I came here"

"Please explain?"

"Well, life can only take you so far and from where I stood, I was pretty much in a rut that I couldn't shake off. I tried finding different ways to grant meaning to my life other than the mindset of finishing school, get a job, and live the life I was given, but no matter what I couldn't find anything. That was until Thomas, Jay, and I ran into the woods near the school we went to, to try a run from a group of kids trying to kill us" I said. "Coming here gave me another sense of purpose I didn't know I needed, and now, with these new powers, I can help anyone who comes into harm's way and in some way... I finally feel free from my meaningless rut" I finished still looking out into the world.

"We see, well we are glad thou has found a new purpose, also... why was our sister running in fear?" Luna asked once more and I chuckled.

"She made me angry," I answered.

"Oh, We see, well can thou please teeleth us about sir Thomas?" She asked, a bit excitedly making me raise an eyebrow.

"Sounds a little specific Luna, does someone have a fling for Thomas?" I teased and Luna gave a cute pout to said teasing. "Alright, alright, where to start... ah! How about the first day I met him, and let me tell ya, he was the single most quietest person you would have ever met"

Rainbows House, P.o.v- Thomas

"Achoo!" I sneezed entering the house, almost dropping some groceries. "Huh *sniffle* someone must be talking about me" I muttered as I walked into the house, groceries in hand. "Okay, now then, next is to clean the house"

"Already did that sugarcube" I heard someone say from the kitchen, I walked in and saw Applejack sitting at the table reading and eating an apple. "Took ya long enough, ya get lost out there?" She joked, I chuckled a little and placed the groceries on the counter.

"Well I just got caught up by a purple woman who wanted to study me, and now a cowgirl is in my kitchen eating my food" I answered with a small chuckle. "What brings you here you Aj?" I asked.

"Well, Ah was wonderin if ya got yer invitation from Twilight yet" Applejack said pulling out a golden Ticket.

"What is this, Charlie and the Chocolate factory?" I joked, but Aj just looked confused. "Oh right, uhm, it's a movie in my world that has golden tickets to go inside a big candy factory"

"Still have no idea what yer talkin about sugarcube" Applejack said and handed me the golden ticket. "So ah'm jus' gonna assume ya dont have a ticket"

"Nnnnope" I answered giving it back to her and began putting the groceries away. "Honestly Applejack, I'm not really comfortable with parties anyways, sure the one Pinkie gave me for moving into ponyville was great, but I'm kind of an... oh man what's the word?"

"An antisocial person?" Applejack threw out and I nodded. "Well Ah think you need ta come outta yer shell sugarcube, c'mon, me and the girls are goin, so how bout' you be mah plus one that way you can join us?" She asked and I pondered it for a moment. "It'll be fun~"

"I'll... I'll think about it, sound fair?" I asked making the cowgirl nod. "Hey, where's Dash?"

"Oh she's takin a shower, said somethin about feelin dirty from someone eyein'er up" Applejack said making me get a small red hue on my cheeks. "Know anything about what she meant?" She asked and I could feel the massive grin on her face burn the back of my head.

"Nope, not a clue heh" I lied as I finished putting the groceries away. "Must've been some creep from earlier today" I continued.

"Ya know it's funny Tommy, she gave a description of the guy, said he was tall, had brown messy hair, tan skin, green eyes, kinda cute, and was as skinny as a toothpick" Applejack listed and I didn't turn as I tried to not make eye-contact. "The only one that matches that description‐" she stopped, walked over to me, spun me around and pinned me to the fridge with a cocky grin. "Is you" she finished.

"I-I dont-" I was interrupted by Applejack placing a finger on my lips.

"Sugarcube, y'all already know Ah'm the element of honesty, so why even try to lie ta me?" Applejack asked. "Ya ain't in trouble sugar, Ah jus' like teasing you" she said and began uncontrollably laughing at me, she was mainly laughing at how red my face had gotten.

"Geez Aj, I thought you were gonna kill me or somethin" I sighed in relief, I got off the fridge door and sat down at the table. "And please stop teasing me so much, please" I begged the cowgirl as her laughter was dying down.

"Oh but sugarcube it's so much fun, honestly Thomas, you are too easy ta tease" Applejack stated with a few giggles here and there, she sat down and noticed my glare. "Oh calm down, it's all fun an games Thomas, look if it means anything, Ah'll tone it down alright"

"Thank you, now I believe I need to find something else to do before I become bored out of my mind" I said, they didn't have T.V. or Phones, so I could either clean something, read or sleep. "*Sigh* Well, I got nothin" I said because Applejack cleaned the house, I've read all the books twice and I'm tired, so I really had nothing to do.

"Hmm, why don't you an Ah walk around town, y'all could use the exercise, plus we could get ta know one another more" Applejack suggested and I shrugged.

"Why not, but, how about we go to your farm instead" I said, making Applejack raise a brow.

"Why mah farm partner?" She asked, then got a sly grin. "Y'all ain't tryna do somethin ta me, are ya Tommy?" Applejack teased, makin me blush a little.

"I just… like how quiet it is there thats all, nothing wrong with quiet right?" I retorted.

"Fine, but no funny business alright" Applejack joked and I got up, I got a small cloth bag from a drawer and put some water bottles and snacks in it. "Hey, maybe y'all can tell me about how ya met yer friends" she said and I chuckled a little.

"Well, maybe I should tell you the time I almost got us killed" I said walking out the kitchen with Applejack in tow. "I tell ya, if they weren't around me, I'd be nothing more than a memory from how much crap I got into" I continued as I reached for the doorknob, but I was stopped when the doorbell rang.

"You expectin anyone?" Applejack asked and I shrugged. "Well, open the door, it's not nice ta keep others waiting"

"One sec!" I called to the person behind the door and quickly undid the locks before opening the door. "Hello?"

"Hey Thomas, I think the princess here has something she'd like to give you" Jackson said and I saw said princess shaking like a leaf.

"I-Im terribly sorry for n-not sending you a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala, I misplaced your ticket so I wrote you another" Celestia said handing me the most fanciest parchment paper I have ever seen, it was literally encrusted with diamonds on the edges and the writing was like she wrote it with the same material as the edges. I was to astonished to even hold it, it felt like I touched it, the purity of this beautiful invitation would lose it's amazing glow. "Mr. Knight?" Celestia called getting my attention
from tapping my shoulder, snapping me out of it.

"I-I don't know what to say, but, this invitation is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life," I said carefully grasping the ticket. "Y-you really didn't have to make such a big fuss about a misplaced invitation, if you just wrote it on some paper with a signature, that would've been just as good"

"Well, it's to apologize since your invitation was supposed to be one of the first one's to be sent out" Jackson admitted and threw a small glare at Celestia who jumped a little. "Say your sorry Tia"

"Im... deeply sorry Thomas, it wasn't my intention to invite you this late, what with my sister's return and all" Celestia said. "I just got so caught up with spending time with her and teaching her the new ways of equis, I kinda lost track-"

"It's okay, no harm done Celestia" I stopped her. "I don't know what Jackson said to scare you this bad over a ticket, but I'm glad to know your helping Luna adjust to the new ways around here, granted, I'm still learning myself" I said with a hand held out.

"Well, I'm glad you could understand young Thomas" Celestia said with a sigh of relief. "I look forward to seeing you at the Gala tonight"

"Guess I have no choice huh" I said chuckling a little. "Might have to get a suit, you attending it to Jackson?" I asked the man.

"Yup, and unfortunately, I gotta wear a suit as well" Jackson complained. "But hey, maybe you, me and Jay can liven things up a bit"

"For sure man, by the way, how's Jay doing?" I asked.

"Oh he is doing splendid, a few more days of wing training and he'll be as right as rain" Celestia answered with a smile. "Well young Thomas, I'm afraid we must take our leave, if there's anything I can do just send a letter and I'll see to it first hand"

"Thank you princess" I thanked, with that the two said goodbye and teleported back to canterlot. "Seems I got some stuff to do, gonna have to take a rain check Aj" I said making the woman puff her cheeks a little.

"It's fine" She grumbled. "Mind if ah tag along?" Applejack asked.

"Sure, c'mon, let's go before Dash tries to spread more lies about me" I joked before putting the ticket down on the kitchen table and we made our way towards Rarity's house.

On our way, we barely got down the street before Dash zoomed next to us. Giving her the rundown about what Applejack and I are doing, she decided to tag along, said something about needing matching shoes for her dress.

(Carousel boutique)

We finally made it and quickly went inside. Not even a second after asking Rarity if she could make me a suit, she was already taking measurements, while Aj and Rainbow were relaxing on her couch.

"Oh darling I know just the type of colors that will make you simply magnificent!" Rarity exclaimed excitedly. "Trust me when I say that you will look smashing at the gala tonight, all those ladies will be asking to dance with you all night"

"Eh, I don't know about that Rarity" I said. "Im not what you call, attractive to the opposite sex, even if I wear a good looking suit" I stated making her give a dismissive wave.

"Nonsense, you are attractive in your own way darling" Rarity assured me. "Trust me Thomas, you are a very handsome man with the best personality I've ever seen," she continued.

"Thanks Rarity, that makes me feel kinda better about myself" I said and she hummed.

"Ah bet ten bit's he don't even talk ta one girl" Applejack whispered to Rainbow.

"I bet he will, and to make it interesting, I bet he will even dance with one" Rainbow whispered back, they both shook on it. "So Thomas, gonna man up and ask someone to dance at the Gala?"

"It depends if any of those ladies will give me the chance to ask" I answered.

"Well if nobody will dance with you, you can always ask me" Rainbow threw out.

"Really?" I asked with small amounts of doubt.

"Sure, no harm dancing with my friends?" She asked.

"No harm at all, could be fun" I said just as Rarity finished her measurements. I was finally allowed to sit down after thirty minutes of standing completely still. "Hope the suit comes out great"

"Don't y'all worry, Rarity is the best from what Ah can tell" Applejack said. "And you know, Rarity ain't wrong either"

"About?" I questioned.

"You bein attractive in yer own way, yer kinda dorky an shy which Ah think is a lil cute" Applejack said causing a small red hue to form on my cheeks. "Some girls like dorky an shy guy's, though most of'em pick uptight jackasses" she finished with a small chuckle.

"Thanks Aj, I appreciate that," I said.

"I just think you're a cool guy Thomas, sure you're a bit nervous for my taste, but that dont mean I don't find you at least a bit attractive" Rainbow pitched in making my face turn a little more red. "I can see what Applejack means, it's cute seeing you get all shy, it's like you're a little kitten"

"O-Okay, I appreciate you both for making me feel better about myself, so please stop" I begged trying to fight the blush off my face, they both laughed seeing my flushed face. After another thirty minutes, Rarity came back with a mannequin wearing a silk black coat over a clean red and black leather vest that was also over a dark red dress shirt with the pants having the same material as the coat, and the shoes themselves had a chrome black look to it that shined in the light. "Holy hell, that's-"

"Elegant?, Beautiful?" Rarity threw out.

"Amazing" I said in awe. "Is this really mine?" I asked the fashionista.

"Of course darling, a handsome man like yourself needs to look his best" She said and used her magic to carefully remove the clothes and hand them to me. "Especially to a very prestigious party such as the one happening tonight, now go try them on" Rarity said practically shoving me into the changing room.

"Alright, give me a minute" I told her and closed the door. Rarity hummed as she walked back to Rainbow and Applejack who were arm wrestling.

"Girl's, what have I told you about arm wrestling in my home" Rarity asked using her magic to arrange the clothes on the racks across from them.

"Oh calm down Rare's it's just to pass the time" Rainbow said as she lost the match. "Great, anyways, how's Thomas looking?" She asked.

"We will see once he is done getting dressed" Rarity answered. "For now, we just have to wait and see" she said finishing her rearranging and went behind the counter, pulling out a white box with a purple bow on it.

"What'cha got there Rarity?" Applejack asked, and Rarity hummed, lost in her thoughts. "Rarity?"

"Huh, oh, sorry darling, I was just bringing out a gift for Thomas" Rarity answered. "His old hat was torn a bit when we used the Elements of harmony, so I've been fixing it up ever since, as a way of saying thanks for saving us" she said pulling out said hat and the two noticed how nice and clean the rope and leather was.

"Wow, it looks even better than when he first got it" Rainbow complimented and the two got up to get a closer look.

"It looks incredible Rarity, how long did it take you ta fix this here hat?" Applejack asked examining it. "Ya even sewed his name on the inside"

"Well darling, it took me a good month to find a newer version of a specific type of leather to match his old one, then two month's re-sewing the entire hat stitch for stitch, and two weeks waiting for some of the finest rope materials to give it a finishing touch" Rarity told the two and they were in awe at how hard Rarity worked on the hat. "I wanted to give it to him before we left for the Gala, but since he's coming, I made a suit that matches this hat perfectly"

"So I'm guessing that hat repairs aren't really your strongest in the skills department huh" Rainbow questioned, to which Rarity nodded.

"Not that great I'm afraid, but I wanted to give this my all" Rarity said.

"Alright girls, how do I look?" I asked the three as I walked towards them. They turned and stood up straight, I saw the faintest hint of pink on the girl's cheeks. "You guys okay?" I asked.

"Yup, I'm good, soooo good"

"Eeyup"

"Quite fine darling, I-I must say you look rather dashing in that suit" Rarity complemented.

"Thank you, the suit itself fits perfectly, and I love the designs you chose for it as well" I said. "The leather of the vest is smooth and soft to the touch, while the dress shirt allows it to comfortably sit atop it without causing wrinkles, the coat and the pants of course are beautifully made showing me just how much love you have for this type of thing" I ranted off not realizing how red the woman was getting.

"I-I uh-"

"All in all, this is the greatest suit I will ever own" I finished saying, chuckling seeing the fashionista fiddle with her finger's having rosy cheeks and stuttering. "You good Rarity?" I asked.

"Oh she's fine handsome-I mean Thomas" Rainbow said quickly correcting herself. "Sorry, you caught us all by surprise man, wasn't expecting you to look as good as you do right now"

"Eeyup, hardly recognized ya, ah must say though, you clean up mighty fine Tommy" Applejack said giving me a little jab to the arm.

"Thanks, now how much do I owe you Rarity?" I asked the seamstress who got herself composed.

"Oh please Thomas it was the least I can do after you've helped us so many other times these past few months, consider this a token of my gratitude" Rarity answered then gasped suddenly. "That's right, I had a gift for you as well"

"First you make me an incredible suit for free, now I'm going to get a gift, you're spoiling me too much" I said with a chuckle.

"I think you'll like this one Thomas" Rainbow said right as Rarity reached behind the front desk and pulled out the hat Igneous gave me.

"My hat!" I exclaimed gleefully. "I was wondering what had happened to it, it practically looks brand new!" I said with the biggest smile on my face.

"Well, try it on darling" Rarity said and I did just that. The second the hat went on my head, I felt complete. "How does it feel?" She asked.

Perfect, absolutely perfect Rarity" I said giving the woman the biggest hug, picking her up slightly. "Thank you"

"I-It was no problem at all darling, I'm sorry it took so long to finish" Rarity said.

"It's okay Rarity, the fact that you did this out of the kindness and generosity of your heart makes this worth the wait" I told her as I placed her back on the ground. "Man, today just gets better and better, you know, I'm kinda excited for this Gala thing" I admitted.

"It is the biggest party in all of Equestria, so I would hope you'd be excited" Rainbow said. "I'm just excited about meeting the Wonderbolts, I heard they were going to be there this year and I'm gonna show off some moves that'll make leave them in awe!" She said excitedly.

"Ah jus' want ta sell my apple goods since Ah'm sure there will be some hungry people their" Applejack added.

"I want to meet my prince charming and live a long happy life together" Rarity said blissfully and both myself and Rainbow couldn't help but snicker at this. "Oh hush you two, a woman can dream can she not?" She asked hushing us both.

"Sorry Rarity, but I don't think you'll find your 'Prince Charming' at a fancy dance like Cinderella" I said making her scoff. "I'm not saying it won't happen, but I just want you to keep the expectations low, just in case"

"Whatever you say darling, now then, before anything else happens" Rarity said going behind the front desk and pulled out a box. "Strip"

Canterlot Castle, Medical Wing, P.o.v- Jay, 8:30 p.m.

"Arrrgh... c'mon you... stupid wings!" I strained out attempting to fold my wings, but it was no use. "Damn it, I felt a twitch this time" I grumbled, plopping down on the bed in the room they gave me.

"You know Mr. Adonis, instead of forcing them to close, how bout you actually relax and let them fold naturally as they were made to do" A nurse with blood red skin, long ashy gray hair, about 5'10 and holding an annoyed glare said to me, her voice sounded slightly raspy but smooth as well.

"Say's the nurse with no wings" I shot at her and her glare hardened.

"Okay Jay, let me ask you something, did you go to eight years of college for a M.D?" She asked.

"Uh-"

"Did you learn the different anatomies of other races?" She continued on.

"I-"

"Final question, who has two sisters that consist of an adopted child from the drake race and the other an air-user?" She finished.

"... is it yo-"

"ME YOU SON OF A BITCH, SO IF YOU WANNA DO MY JOB, BY ALL MEANS, FUCKIN DO IT!" The nurse yelled at me causing me to shut my trap. "*Deep sigh* Okay then, let's try this again shall we?"

"Yes ma'am" I said.

"Good boy, now, relax and focus on the wings" She instructed. "Do what comes naturally"

I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, letting my body relax, loosening the muscles and focused on my wings.

"Breathe" She continued to instruct, following said instructions from the woman, I kept a slow but steady pace. "There we go, feels better doesn't?" The nurse asked and I opened my eyes.

I got up and walked over to the mirror at the corner of the room, and I smiled seeing my wings neatly folded into place on my back. It was still hard to believe I actually have wings at all, it should be physically impossible, yet here they are.

"It does feel better, thank you" I said playing with my folded wings.

"Now then, that concludes today's lesson and check-up" The nurse said writing on her clipboard. "I'm going home to visit family in Manehattan, so I won't be here for at least four days, think you can keep out of trouble till I get back?" She asked.

"Of course, I'm not five you know" I answered earning a look of doubt from her along with a small giggle. "Something funny Violet?" I asked.

"Nope, not a thing Jay" Violet said covering her mouth as to hide the smile. "I just thought about how you would look as a five year old, must've been quite the cutie" she told me and giggled seeing me with an embarrassed blush.

"Well... my mom did say I was a cute kid" I unconsciously told her, mentally slapping myself.

"Oh-ho, A mama's boy huh?" Violet teased. "Isn't that cute"

"Shut up, it's only natural for a boy to love his mother" I said defensively causing her to giggle harder.

"Oh that's just precious" She said in a mocking tone, she was giggling so much it soon led to her giving out cute little snorts which mortified her, but gave me ammunition.

"What a cute little snort" I said with the biggest grin on my face, our roles were completely flipped now. Violets cheeks were turning pink, growing slightly more embarrassed, while I was now the one teasing. "It's like a lil piglet oinking"

"S-Shut up!" Violet yelled at me with beet red face. "Or do you want me to perform an early autopsy on you?" She growled, letting me know I had no more ammo.

"Alright, alright, you win" I admitted. "But in all seriousness, I'll be fine Violet, you don't always have to look after me you know" I told her.

"*sigh* I'm too used to it now, it might be a little boring not checking up on you everyday" Violet said and I chuckled.

"Aw, Im touched Violet, I didn't think you'd miss me" I said causing the woman to shyly look away.

"You wish, I'm gonna enjoy my time off, so don't become a mess when you see me the second I come back, got it" Violet said packing her stuff up. "Anyways, I gotta go to my room to change" she said.

"Change for what?" I asked her.

"Oh, I thought I told you, the Grand Galloping Gala is today and all royal staff members must attend in formal attire" Violet explained to me.

"You, in a dress" I said with almost disbelief. "Must be quite the sight"

"Wait what time is it?" Violet asked pulling out a watch from her bag. "Shoot, I gotta go!" she exclaimed almost fully sprinting out the medical wing, I sat there for a moment in silence.

"I wonder if she likes dancing... " I trailed off then looked at my reflection, before chuckling a little. "Let's crash a party"

The Entrance of Canterlot Castle, P.o.v- Thomas 10:00 a.m.

"I know I asked Twilight to teleport me here so there would be room in the carriage, but they're all late" I muttered to myself. I was standing outfront of the enormous castle, fully dressed and was now waiting for my friends to show up, I watched as nobles walked past me with smug looks on their faces and even some scoffed at me like they were my betters. "*groan* Maybe I should head inside, see how 'exciting' this party is, judging how people are acting, I shouldn't expect much" I muttered to myself once more.

I waited another five or so minutes before deciding to head in and see what it was like on the inside. Quickly flashing my ticket to the guards at the door, I walked into the castle being greeted with hundreds, maybe even thousands of people talking, eating and dancing.

The sound of classical music from this world brought a smile to my face, the one thing every world will always have is music. I walked past all the nobles and party guests to see who the people who were playing this beautiful melody.

To my surprise, it was only a handful of players and what looked to be a dj. The Dj had marshmallow white skin, crazy electric blue hair that was spiked up and dark blue nails, wearing an alabaster white jacket, dark magenta sunglasses, black tights and blue hightops. Out of everyone here, she looked the most out of place, especially with her equipment next to the ensemble. Although it was odd, I didn't question it, I simply took in the nostalgic melody.

"It may be a different world, but at least classical music never changes" I mumbled to myself with a small grin. "Heh, she looks like she's really into it" I said looking towards a girl with long raven black hair combed neatly in place, charcoal grey skin, and purple eyes, she wore a bright purple dress that went past her knees and black flat heeled shoes.

"Pretty cute when she's super focused huh?"

"Your right about that... wait a minute" I said and turned to my right seeing the dj girl. "Whoa!" I exclaimed making her chuckle.

"Sorry man, didn't mean to scare you" The girl said. "Name's Vinyl Scratch" Vinyl introduced herself.

"... Thomas, Thomas Knight" I replied back, and we went back to watching the girl play. "Who is she?" I asked.

"Her, That's my girlfriend Tavi" Vinyl said.

"Tavi?" I questioned.

"Her full name is Octavia Melody, but to me, she's my little Tavi" Vinyl said and I chuckled a bit. "Anyway, sorry to say pal, but she's taken"

"O-Oh, I wasn't hitting on her or anything, I was just..." I trailed off and thought back to home. "Remembering what it was like to be in her shoes" I finished, Vinyl looked at me for a moment before humming to herself.

"Classically trained or self taught?" Vinyl asked me.

"Classically trained, I can play the violin and piano, though it's been some years since I last played" I answered.

"Huh, well aren't you full of surprises... hey, let's go grab a drink" Vinyl offered grabbing my arm.

"Uh, I don't know Vinyl, I don't drink alcohol plus wouldn't your girlfriend get upset?" I asked, but she just gave a dismissive wave.

"Tavi knows I won't ever cheat on her so it's cool, and I don't drink either, but I heard there are soda's outside" Vinyl told me, but still felt kinda awkward about it. "C'mon man, indulge me for a while, what's the worst that can happen?" She asked and I had to agree.

"You know what, you're right, lead the way" I said finding new bits of courage. Vinyl took my hand and led me outside which surprisingly had very few people out here, and just as Vinyl said, we found a bowl full of sodas and ice. "So what's the equivalent of a cola in this world?" I asked her.

"Uh, the one that says cola on it" Vinyl said with a confused look. "And what do you mean 'this world', sounds like you're an alien or from another world" She asked chuckling a bit and tossed me a soda.

"Weeelll" I dragged on causing her to lower her sunglasses showing me her blood red eyes. "I kinda am... from another world" I said.

"You serious?" Vinyl asked to which I nodded. "Prove it" she told me.

"Ever heard of Bach or Beethoven?" I asked, she shook her head at this. "Eminem, Wu-tang, Logic, The president or the United States?" I questioned further.

"Uh, nope"

"... Do you have Disney movies here?"

"Disney what now?" Vinyl asked utter befuddled.

"There's your proof, and to add onto that as well, we don't have princesses to watch over us and we don't have magic" I said almost making the girl look at me like a crazy person. "Believe me if you want" I finished and walked over to a stone bench with Vinyl tow.

"Wow, I'm actually talking to someone from a different world!" Vinyl exclaimed as we sat down. "This is beyond insane, what else do you guys have?"

"We have a thing called a Tv and smart phone's, which is basically a smaller, more mobile Tv you carry in your pocket" I said and she looked genuinely intrigued. "I'm sure when y'all create phones and Tv's you guys would have it run on magic or something"

"I still find it hard to believe you're from a different world, how lucky am I to even talk with you" Vinyl said nudging my arm. "Oh yeah, you said something about a guy named Bach and Beethoven, who were they?" She asked.

"They're both considered the most famous composers of classical music in all of history" I answered. "Some of their piece's are so good, you get completely sucked into it without you even knowing it, like the third movement of moonlight sonata by Beethoven" I continued.

"Sounds intense, can you play it?" Vinyl asked and I thought about it for a moment.

"I believe so, but I'm a little rusty playing the piano, which is also something that I need to play the song" I said making Vinyl scoff.

"That's it, I got you covered" She said, enveloping her horn in a red aura before snapping her fingers and making an electric piano pop up in her hands. "One piano as requested, now play me this moonlight song" she demanded excitedly.

Uh, okay, but I won't promise I will be able to play it fully" I told Vinyl as I grabbed the piano from her hands. I tested out a few keys, adjusting it to the right octave before diving back into my memories. "Okay, let's give it a go" I said and started to play.

(if you wanna listen to the whole thing, you are welcome to)

As I played, I could see Vinyls jaw slow drop at how fluently I was gliding my hand on the piano. The speed I was going could even make masters confused on how I was able to produce the sound, I didn't notice at first, but I felt a big smile on my face as I played to my heart's content.

I got so sucked into playing the movement, I didn't notice I was drawing in a small crowd. All of them watched in amazement as I played, they couldn't even follow my hands but still attempted to do so.

"Dude, rusty my ass, you're a fuckin professional" Vinyl said in amazement, I chuckled not even peeling my eyes away. After a good seven minutes passed I finished the movement as smoothly as I played it, and with that, I was brought out of my little world being welcomed with small cheers and applause.

"Oh uh, thank you" I nervously said handing the piano back to Vinyl, they soon dispersed not before telling me I played beautifully. "It was fun playing again" I said to the woman and flicked my hat up.

"I hardly recognized you from that performance man, forgot how much of a music nut you were" I heard to my right, I turned and saw Jay wearing a black suit he clearly stole from a butler. "Been a minute since I've last seen you man"

"For real man, how you been?" I asked, getting up and gave him a quick hug. "Heard you were still tryna figure out how to control your wings" I said, making him blow a raspberry.

"Like there was any doubt, I heard you were living in Ponyville with that girl Rainbow Dash" Jay said and snickered, giving my arm a little nudge. "Who knew you'd become a ladies man"

"W-wait t-thats not at all what's going on!" I exclaimed as I turned as red as an apple. "S-She just letting me stay until I can find a place of my own" I explained.

"Suuuure" Jay teased.

"Uh guy's, someone you're both forgetting here" Vinyl called to us getting our attention. "You didn't even introduce me to your friend here Thomas, that's what most girls consider rude" she told me.

"Sorry" I apologized and cleared my throat. "Jay, this is my new friend Vinyl Scratch, she's actually the DJ for the party" I introduced.

"Jay Adonis, nice to meet you Vinyl"

"Likewise Jay, also speaking of a party" Vinyl said then checked her watch. "My shift is in a couple minutes so I gotta jet, it was cool meeting you both" She said.

"It was nice meeting someone down to earth at this party" I said. "Maybe next time we can make some music together" I suggested and Vinyl thought for a minute.

"Sure, why not" Vinyl agreed. "Next time your here in Canterlot, look me up and we can hang for awhile, anyways, I really gotta go so I'll see you later Thomas" Vinyl said and quickly made her way back inside the castle.

"Nice girl, and speaking of girl's" Jay said, spotting a woman with red skin and charcoal grey hair, wearing a beautiful purple dress that fit perfectly with her fit body. "Ay I'll catch you later man I gotta... gotta go do something" Jay said as he walked towards the woman and I chuckled.

"And he calls me a ladies man" I mumbled to myself, I looked at the sky to estimate the time and from the looks of things, it's been a good two hours, telling me it's the middle of the night. "Alright Thomas, let's go find the girl's, hopefully they aren't causing too much trouble" I said and turned towards the castle but was knocked down by two female guards that were standing behind me.

"Thomas Knight?" The guard on the left asked.

"Oow, I am he" I answered just as I was about to get back up, but before I could, the two guards ripped me off the ground and dusted me off.

"Sorry for the inconvenience sir, but Princess Luna has asked for your presence at once" The guard on the right said and they both held out their hands for me.

"Uuuuh" I said in confusion.

"It's for safety sir, just incase you get lost is all" The guard on the right told me. "Trust us, it gets really crowded at this time of night" she said and the other guard backed her up on that.

"W-well... if you think that's best" I mumbled, reaching out for both of their hands and grasped them. Instantly did they start dragging me through the large crowd of people. All of them stared and laughed seeing me being dragged by these two, it felt a little embarrassing to say the least.

"Don't worry Thomas, most of them aren't as lucky as you are tonight" the guard on the left said to me. "I mean, hell, you're u're meeting a princess of all people"

"Privately no less, and you got two cute escorts by your sides" The guard on the right said making me blush slightly. "My name's Silver Dust by the way" Silver introduced herself, gently pushing people out the way.

"My names Blazing Fate" Blazing introduced after Silver, once introductions were out the way, we were walking down an empty hallway that was decorated with a red carpet trimmed with golden thread and pearly white tiles underneath, beautiful flowers that hung above our heads, large windows and about twelve chandeliers. "So Thomas, what do you think of Canterlot so far?" Blazing asked me.

"It's a beautiful city, I admit, but some of the nobles here really need to get their heads out of the clouds" I answered her. "Some are nicer than others, but mostly everyone I met since coming here is kind of a jerk, especially when I was waiting out front for my friends to show up" I said not realizing I was ranting.

"Yeah, it's a good looking city, but has some crappy people in it" Silver said, agreeing with me. "Just be glad you haven't met Prince Blueblood, man that guy's a real dickhead"

"I know, thankfully that asshat is in Manehattan for four weeks, can't stand how ignorant that little bastard is" Blazing added, from the way they spoke about this guy, it would seem labeling him an asshole was an understatement. "Oh, sorry you had to hear that Thomas"

"Yeah, it's just, that brat likes to think he's all high and mighty when all he has is his stupid title and his Aunties money" Silver said.

"I'm gonna assume he doesn't know what humble means?" I asked and maaaaan did they rip into this guy the second the words left my mouth. They continued their rant until we reached a hall that was decorated to look like the night sky, even the floor looked like it was made of stars with the navy blue tiles with little white dots all over it, the walls were also navy blue but had constellation instead, and at the end of the hall was a tall dark blue door with a large white crescent moon on it. "Is that Luna's room" I asked and the two nodded.

"Pretty cool right?" Silver asked giggling at my astonished face.

"Took about two months to finish all this, and those guys really went all out decking this place out" Blazing said as they walked me down the hall. Upon reaching Luna's door, Silver gave two hard knocks then opened the door slightly.

"Your highness, we brought Thomas Knight as requested" Silver announced pushing both doors open, revealing Luna's room to me. Dark purple paint covered the walls with a few navy blue drapes hanging from the large window hanging behind her dark oak wood bed that had a snow white blanket and pillows over pitch black sheets, her carpet was almost matching to the tiles outside her room and the ceiling had all the formations of the moon with hanging white diamonds to resemble star's.

Finally was Luna who has dramatically changed since the last I saw her, her skin was dark blue and looked softer than silk, her hair was still short but had this ether like look to it that resembled the night sky and softly blew in nonexistent wind.

"Very good Silver, thou both may leave for the night," Luna said, sitting at a desk reading a small book, Blazing and Silver both bowed and left, leaving both Luna and I alone. "It's been some time since we last seen thou Thomas" Luna said closing the book and got up to face me, the moment she faced me I quickly turnee my back to her blushing furiously. "Why art thou not facing us?" She asked me.

"W-Well, that nightgown you are wearing is leaving little to the imagination" I told her, she was wearing a silk blue nightgown that reached her thighs and hugged her newly acquired figure. The last time I saw her was three months ago, now she looks like a fully grown woman with her assets filled to a good size and it was hard to not blush when facing her like she is right now. "I-If possible, can you please change into something less revealing?" I asked.

"Ah, yes, We believe that is the best course of action" Luna said. "A moment if thou will, we should not be long," she said and walked into her closet, I sighed in relief and took this chance to look around her room as she changed. Walked towards the window and took in how beautiful Canterlot is at night, the light from the magically powered street lights glowed brightly, almost sparkling off the marble buildings.

"Can't get a view like this back home" I said to myself, I continued to look around some more and saw the book she was reading on her desk,I walked towards it and picked it up. "The little light in a sea of darkness" I read aloud.

"It is quite the page turner we must admit" Luna whispered in my ear almost making me jump to the moon, she laughed seeing me jump out of my skin. "Art thou alright?" She asked through her laughter.

"I… almost… had a heart attack" I panted out and sat on the edge of her desk a bit. "You really know how to sneak up on people" I said and she continued to laugh for a bit until it slowly died down.

"Well we hope thou do not think ill of us for something such as this" Luna said.

"I couldn't think ill of you even if I wanted to" I told her, getting a little smile. "I like your dress by the way" I said seeing the sparkly black dress.

"We were hoping thou would" Luna admitted. "How art thou faring in this world young Thomas?" She asked, going towards her bed and sitting on the edge.

"I'm doing pretty good honestly, a few mishaps here and there, but nothing a little problem solving can't fix" I answered. "How are you adjusting?"

"If We are to be honest, We feel as though our subjects still fear us as though we're still Nightmare Moon" Luna said and continued. "We want nothing more than to see our people happy, but how can we do that, if we never felt happiness before? We're looking at life and seeing nothing but division between us and our people, they speak new English and, although we have tried to learn, we find it more difficult than expected. New emotions have popped up for us as well and we don't fully understand such little thing's like before, a thousand years on the moon without a soul to speak with thou takes a serious mental toll" She said with a deep sigh. "We wish we could feel more worthy for everyone else, but it is as though not one being cares for our existence other than our dear sister… we have not made even a single friend since our return, truthfully, We wish we had a friend once more, to talk and laugh with after spending so many years alone" Luna finished, her head hanging low.

"We're friends" I said.

"Pardon?" Luna asked, lifting her head.

"We're friends, sure you don't know me that well and you tried to kill me at one point, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?" I questioned the woman who looked at me with a small amount of joy in her eyes, I got up and kneeled down in front of her, taking Lunas hand in mine. "We are very different in every way possible, but that doesn't mean jack when it comes to making friends, when I first met you as a spirit the day I came here, you helped me, and even saved my life. These people can say as many terrible things to me as much as they want, but if they ever say anything to hurt your feelings or harm you in any way, just know you can count on me to fight with and for you" I told her, offering a small warm smile. "Because to me, it doesn't matter who you were, it matters what you do to be better than who you were before" I finished my little speech getting a few tears from Luna to which I wiped away gently.

"We think being thou's friend will be quite the journey" Luna said with a small giggle and gripped my hand a bit more tightly.

"Maybe, but we can only imagine what the future may hold, so let's think about the now for a moment" I said as I got up and sat next to her. "How about I help you with your speaking?" I offered.

"We will appreciate that very much young Thomas" Luna said.

"Okay, let's get started"

Castle Ballroom, P.o.v- Jackson

"Tia, people are staring" I said as I danced with the woman who giggled.

"Weren't you the one who asked me to dance in the first place Mr. Castle?" Celestia teased with a smug grin.

"That's only because I got bored of just standing around while you greeted other's" I said. "And this suit may be comfortable, but it really doesn't matter if I don't properly wear it" I stated feeling a bit uncomfortable at the peering eyes of the nobles.

"Well you look very handsome Jackson, and honestly I'm glad you dragged me away from the greetings, I was however a little surprised when you asked me to dance, what happened with that Air-user Featherweight?" Celestia asked.

"She told me she had night patrol earlier today" I answered making the princess 'oh'. "It's all fine, Feather just said I owed her a dance"

"Well I'm glad you both found a way to fix that problem, and it seems you and your friends are becoming quite accustomed to our land" Celestia said. "Even my dear sister has taken somewhat of a fancy with a certain human man" She said chuckling at the thought.

"I noticed, she asked about him when I was sitting in the balcony and had me tell her everything about Thomas, down to his favorite Tea flavor" I said with my own chuckle. "Maybe this will be good for Luna"

"How so?"

"She might have Thomas become her first real friend outside the castle, and you know how these nobles are Celestia, they don't even want to acknowledge her existence for God sakes" I said and the woman frowned a little at this, because she knew I was right. "Thomas will act as a bridge for Luna and once everybody sees those two getting all chummy, they'll slowly start warming up to her" I said and she seemed to like my little plan, it was almost full proof... almost.

"But what if that plan doesn't work, what then?" Celestia asked.

"Then they are missing out on a very amazing person" I said making the princess smile gently. "It reminds me of what my mother used to say, 'there are friends, there is family, then there are friends who become family'"

"A wise woman she must be" Celestia said as the song ended and we bowed to one another. "She also produced a man who knows how to dance extremely well" she continued hooking her arm with mine.

"Well I did have practice" I said and Celestia giggled.

"Sister?" She asked.

"Sister's" I corrected and she laughed. "You should've seen what they've done to me when we were little, hoooooo boy, so much makeup" I said with a nostalgic chuckle. "Good times those were" I sighed and it seemed Celestia took notice of my sadness.

"You miss them, don't you?" Celestia asked, already knowing the answer, I said nothing for a little bit, and it felt like reality finally hit me. "Oh you poor boy" she comforted me and wiped some tears from my cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry… I think it's best if I-" I was stopped by Celestia who started dragging me somewhere. "Where are we going?"

"Somewhere you can cope without judgement from these buffoons" Celestia answered and continued dragging me until we reached a hallway, she let go of my arm and took my hand, leading me down this maze we call a castle.

"I-I'm sorry if I'm being a burden to you Celestia, it seems as though my predicament actually caught up to me finally… I just wish it happened sooner" I said wiping my endless tears away. "I just need to be alone for awhile" I muttered and we finally stopped just outside a beautiful garden sanctuary filled with endless flowers and plants that look more exotic than the last.

"What you need right now Jackson is a friend" Celestia stated sternly, she gently pulled me towards a stone fountain made to look like the sun and we sat on the edge. "And a friend is what you'll get, now tell me… how much do you miss your family?" She asked with a genuine smile and I couldn't help but finally break down.

"I miss them… with all my heart" I admitted and pulled Celestia into a sudden embrace. "Every single day I think about what they must be going through, what my sisters are thinking, what my parents are thinking, I wish with every fiber of my body that I… that we can see our families, just one last time and tell them we're all okay, that we're not dead, that we love them to death and-and…" I couldn't speak anymore because of how choked up I was getting, I was bawling my eye's out profusely and I couldn't stop.

"It's okay Jackson, let it all out" Celestia said hugging me back. "I know what your going through, and in all honesty, you wish it wasn't true, no matter how many times the world says it is… but we must keep moving forward Jackson, because even though we can't see them anymore doesn't mean we can't keep living on for them. In life you are given a hand you were dealt, and sometimes we either fold them or go all in, but you three tossed your card's away and demanded a new hand without even realizing it" Celestia said to me, and pulled away, summoning a handkerchief then cleaned my raw cheeks and eyes. "With that new hand you got, you came here, your family might be worried, but in the end, you both know you ended up in a better place… and if they knew you were here then they would tell you to keep going no matter what, because that's what they know is best for you"

"But I-" She stopped me again, this time with a hand over my mouth.

"What I'm trying to say is… you'll be okay, they will be okay… to live your new life here you must learn to accept the cards given to you again, because your family would want you to, and that is the definite truth" Celestia finished.

"I-I don't know what to say or think anymore" I said then flinched feeling Celestia caress my raw cheek with her soft warm hand. "But… I know you're right, I just think I need some time to actually process this properly" I said slowly.

"I understand, just know I'll be here if you ever need to talk with someone" Celestia said and I smiled. "Now then, do you want to go back to the party or stay here and relax a little?"

"I think I'd rather stay here, this is way better than that dumb party" I said calming down finally. "Can… Can you stay with me?" I asked the woman, she gave a soft snort before scooting closer and leaned on me.

"Of course, I will be by your side for as long as you wi-"

"YOU WILL LOVE ME!!!!"

Luna's Chambers, P.o.v- Thomas

"I... think... I'm... understanding what thou-you are saying" Luna struggled to say. "This is extremely difficult Thomas"

"Hey, it's okay, it'll take some time for you to get the hang of new english Luna, you just need to practice" I encouraged.

"You, really think so?" Luna queried and I nodded.

"With how far you've gotten in such a short time is simply amazing" I said and she grew a small red hue on her cheeks.

"T-Thank tho-you, thank you Thomas" Luna said. "You are a very amazing teacher" she told me and I gave a sheepish chuckle.

"Thank you" I said and blushed seeing how cute she looked right now. "Y-You know, if you want Luna, I can come by and continue teaching you-" I started but was stopped by a loud bang and a violent rumble, shaking us a bit and having Luna fall on me. "A-Are you okay!?" I quickly asked.

"Yes, I believe so, but what was tha-"

"YOU WILL LOVE ME!!!" We heard someone roar and then the guests screaming.

"What the fuck?" I questioned getting up and almost threw a lamp at Jackson who slammed the door open. "Jackie, what's going on out their?" I asked the man.

"No idea, but we gotta make sure everyone's alright" He said and I nodded before we ran off in hurry. We raced down the halls till we reached the ball room and it was complete, utter chaos. "Did a fuckin tornado come in here!?"

"Jesus christ mate, I was only gone for a few minutes!" I exclaimed and I noticed all the girls looking completely miserable, especially Rarity who was covered in cake. "What in the sam hell happened to every- *gasp* Vinyl!" I shouted seeing Vinyl and Octavia trying to fight off a bear, I looked around for a weapon but found none. "How do I always find myself in these types of situations"

"Wait, what?" Jackson asked but didn't get an answer cause I was making a full tilt sprint towards the bear and with as much force as I can manage out of my body, I shoulder bashed the bear to the ground.

"Thomas!" Vinyl exclaimed. "Thank the Gods, you saved our lives!"

"Saved is kinda suggestive here, now get to safety before this bear gets back uuuuuUuuuUuuuuup!" I yelled as the bear stood up with me getting pushed off. "Aaaaaaah crap baskets" I mumbled before rolling out the way from an attack.

"Thomas, catch!" I heard Luna shout and threw a shield near me. I dodged another attack from the bear and quickly dove for the shield, I felt my sword appear on my back to which I drew and quickly sprung to my feet.

"Alright ya damn grizzly, you want a fight, ya just got one!" I cried out and charged at the beast. He threw a big swing to my right and I barely slid under it in time then cut it's leg a bit, causing the bear to get back on all fours. I jumped up to my feet and snapped my body back to the bear who caught me by surprise and back handed me in the chest, knocking all the wind out.

I was thrown back to a row of tables from how strong the strike was and barely had time to catch my breath before the bear almost pounced on me. I dove out the way as the beast landed on the tables, crushing it under its weight.

'Alright Thomas think! How can you stop this bear without killing it' I thought to myself and tried formulating a plan as I avoided the beasts attack. After a few minutes of thinking I had a plan ready to set in motion. "Vinyl, when I saw 'now' I want you and Octavia to push your Dj booth on top this bear!" I instructed getting looked at like I was insane.

"Are you crazy!?" Vinyl questioned but I gave her a stern look. "O-Okay, just give me a minute to get my stuff off it" she said and I nodded.

"Alright, Octavia I need all the strings from those instruments!" I yelled.

"Are you-" she was interrupted when the bear jumped on me. "Lord's above!" Octavia scream, I tapped into the demons strength and shoved the bear off of me.

"Just give me the damn strings!" I demanded, she shook seeing my red eyes and quickly took off all the strings from the instruments and gave them to me. I quickly got to work on the strings and fashioned a lasso. "Hey you hairy bastard, come get some!" I yelled at the beast and it ran towards us with the intent to kill.

"U-Uh, Thooomas" Vinyl said a bit scared.

"Wait for it" I told her, just as the bear got in front of me I wrapped the makeshift lasson around its front paws and slid under it causing the bear to fall right in front of Vinyl and Octavia. "Now!" I shouted at the two and they pushed the Dj booth off the stage, crashing on top of the bear, knocking it unconscious and immobilizing it. "*deep sigh* Jesus christ... are you guys okay?"

"Dude, you fought a bear by yourself and you're asking us if we're okay?!' Vinyl exclaimed in disbelief. "You look like you got hit by a train man" she said and I admit I was really exhausted now.

"Yeah... yeah I think that sums that up pretty well" I said breathlessly and slumped to the floor. The entire place was now cleared out, leaving only us three, Jackson and luna, the girls and the bear. "Not a single day without something going horribly wrong" I joked and layed down.

"Thomas! Are you alright!?" Jackson asked as he, Luna and Celestia ran down to try and help me up.

"Im fine guy's, just tired is all... I'm still trying to figure out what caused all this" I said and the girls walked over in a hurry. "Party didn't pan out to be that great huh?' I asked them with a chuckle.

"Yeah, we all kinda... freaked out," Rainbow said.

"Me especially, I just wanted those little critters to love me like my animals back home, but I guess they rather not" Fluttershy said in a sad tone.

"I found a prince, but he wasn't my prince charming" Rarity growled with cake still in her hair. "That pompous dickhead" she mumbled.
