3 Weeks Later, Rainbows House, 1:25 p.m., P.o.v- Thomas

I layed in my bed back at Rainbows house just three weeks after I finally woke up from my coma. Everyone was so happy to see me awake again, Celestia even brought the Pie Family to come see me since they've been asking about my health for weeks before hand. I swear on my life, I saw Maud crack the biggest smile when she laid her eye's on me, Lime even looked happy to see me, she also thanked me for saving her life when Discord tried kill her for pure entertainment.

Even though I had people around who were glad I was awake and kicking, I still felt this strange sensation inside of me, it didn't feel good or bad just.... strange. On that night Luna and I got caught, she got so embarrassed when that blue haired bastard with purple armor showed up that she literally threw me in my room, locked the door and hid inside her own room until I left two days later. Of course I too was embarrassed when we got caught and interrupted, so I thought I was feeling anger of some kind, but for some reason... that answer didn't fit this description.

The feeling started after I got this urge to just... take Luna, to make her mine, a highly selfish want that almost made me go crazy when we were both in the moment. No matter how many times I try not to think about it, I end up doing the opposite. Every time I just think of how Luna looked at that moment I feel my heart race and my breathing becomes ragged.

"Take her-Stop it!" I stopped myself, jumping up to a sitting postion in my bed. "Damn it... what is going on with me, I cant even think about Luna without this feeling well up inside me... *sigh* fuck" I muttered to myself, putting myself in deep thought. "And these nightmares haunting my dreams... I can stop having them, I feel like Im going insane ever since I stole the demons power, I-I don't feel human anymore... I need someone to help me, Im scared and I... I don't know what to do" I whimpering silently to myself, frustrated at myself but also terrified about whats happening to me. "I feel like a monster" I muttered as I looked at my shaking hands.

"Thomas, you awake? You've been asleep for a couple hours than normal" Rainbow asked, opening the door looking at me with concern. "You okay bud?" She asked me reaching a hand for me.

"NO DONT!" I shouted suddenly scaring Rainbow a bit. "I'm... I'm sorry... I don't know what's come over me lately, I-I suddenly cant sleep, I can't think, I can't even look at myself in the mirror without seeing horn's and fangs ever since I've woken up from that damn coma... I'm scared Rainbow" I told her much to her surprise, but she could see the terror enveloping me. "Am I... a-am I a monster?" I asked as my word's cracked and tears streamed down my cheeks, I felt so helpless, I felt so lost.

"Thomas..."

"I can feel myself, slowly drifting away from my humanity day by day and I can feel a monster molding itself in my very soul while I break down in despair. I don't know what to do Rainbow, I don't want everyone I hold dear to think of me as some... thing!" I exclaimed with shallow breaths, more an more tear's fell the more I spoke. "Please... please... help me" I begged, burying my face in my hands.

A long, grueling silence hung between us for quite some time once I stopped talking. I half expected her to say something like, "don't talk like that Thomas" or "You are no monster you idiot". What happened was actually something I didn't know I needed till now.

"If you're a monster, then this world doesn't deserve a sweet monster like you" Rainbow said calmly, sitting next to me on my bed, now hugging me. "I don't know what you're going through Thomas, but no matter what... I'll always trust an believe in you, I will always be right by your side... till the very end" she said, now the waterworks wouldn't stop anymore. "And, I think you'd look pretty badass with horns an fangs, buuuuut I like your cute innocent face more" Rainbow told me, trying to lighten the mood up.

I chuckled through my break down, honestly feeling better than before. I pulled back from Rainbow and genuinely smiled, it was astonishing how fast she made me feel better, though I guess she had a natural talent for putting others at ease, even if she doesn't admit it.

"You know, *sniff* you'd make a wonderful mother one day" I said suddenly, making her blush furiously but smiled happily.

"Geez, I'm over here trying to make you feel happy" Rainbow joked now laying down on my bed next to me. I joined her down bellow and we stared up at the ceiling, both feeling a small sense of joy. "Hey, can we stay like this for a while?" She asked, although it was a strange request I wanted the same thing, so I made some more room for her.

"Thanks for making me feel better Dash" I said which cause her to snort a little. "What?"

"That's probably the second time you've ever used my nickname, I've always been meaning to ask you why you just say Rainbow" Rainbow said with curiosity in her tone, I knew this question would come up, but I didn't dread it like I did before. Might as well tell her my 'tragic' backstory.

"Well Dash, it's because I knew two people with the same last name Dash who were... especially fond about making my life a living hell more than it already was. Day in an day out, it was my ass on the ground either robbed or just jumped for no apparent reason, these really weren't typical bullies mind you but legend say's they used to be normal kid's at one point" I said making Rainbow laugh at the last part. "Heh, I would get my ass beat twice a day by those two, but in came Jay and Jackson, like Spiderman and Iron Man. They're the reason I've been able to live this long, especially since they were always with me one hundred percent when I was in trouble" I reminisced a little more, remembering how Jackson tackled one of the twins through a door and Jay popping the tires to their cars. Good times.

"Seems like you're a little traumatized from those bullies of yours, if I was there I would've totally saved your whimpy butt" Rainbow said and I laughed. "Though saving you would be kinda nice, even if it's nothing major like beating two evil deities" she said, surprising me by curling up to me.

"Whoa, never seen you get this physical with me before" I joked slightly, it was true though, Rainbow has never gotten this close to me before. I can feel her heart beat calmly as she got comfortable next to me.

"S-Shut up, I-Im only doing this so you don't break down again!" Rainbow excalimed while I chuckled at how her words didn't match what she was doing. "You better not tell anyone about this you got it" Rainbow growled, but the way she was holding on to me made it less threatening.

"Okay, it'll be our little secret" I assured the girl. "But I think we better get up soon, Im starting to get hungry" I said much to Rainbows disappointment, but she knew I hadn't eaten anything so she groaned letting go of me. We both got up from my bed and I went to the closet to grab some clothes while Rainbow stretched her limb. "It totally slipped my mind that I don't have that many clothes, so I think Im gonna head to Rarity's and see if she can make me some clothes"

"Mind if I come along? We can grab something to eat on the way, my treat" Rainbow said, reminding me about my jobless life unlike Jay and Jackson. Still find it hard to believe that Jay got a job as an assistant for Violet, but she doesn't really get that many patients since she's the Castle's doctor so I guess it would be pretty easy to be her assistant.

"Sure, it'll also give me time to figure out what to do for a job" I said and Rainbow hummed, then looked around my room. "What?" I asked the snooping girl.

"How about you become my personal housekeeper, you could clean the house, wash the dishes, do the laundry and I'll pay you extra to mow the lawn" Rainbow suggested. "Of course you'll be paid accordingly, since it's a pretty decent size house how about a sack of forty bits a day?" She asked making me question how much she was getting paid at the weather factory, especially since she had to pay for the bills for the house and other necessities.

"Are you sure Rainbow, I don't want to put you in a tough position financially if you pay me forty bits every day" I said and she just laughed it off.

"Do you even KNOW how much air-users get paid just to change the weather?" Rainbow asked with a smirk.

"I'm guessing a lot since you're offering to pay me every day" I said with a small chuckle.

"So what do ya say?" Rainbow asked, holding out her hand. I kinda saw no downside to this job offer since I basically clean this house literally everyday, and I quite enjoy cleaning and I wont have to worry about being fired if I go on an adventure with the others since my boss would be joining me. I'm only seeing a win right now.

"Well, guess you got yourself a housekeeper" I answered with a firm handshake. "I'm guessing I'll be working for you tomorrow?" I asked and Rainbow nodded.

After getting everything sorted for my job, Rainbow decided to wait downstairs for me while I do my morning routine of personal hygiene. When I entered the bathroom I stopped in my tracks when I came face to face with the mirror inside, my breath hitched while my heart sank as I stared into it. The mirror showed a reflection of me, but it showed a reflection of that demon form I went into when I fought Discord. I stared into it's angry red eye's, vividly remembering how I felt back then and remembering the feeling of power I struggled to control inside me, a power that almost destroyed my body. I took a long shakey breath before slowly walking towards the mirror, feeling a bit terrified but also... relaxed.

"You know, I think Rainbow was right" I said, smiling at my reflection to which it copied and reverted back to my normal form. "I do look badass with horns and fangs" I joked before going on with my business.

Ponyville

Rainbow and I walked down the streets of Ponyville eating some donuts we got at Sugarcube Corner for free since they made to many. The sun was out, the bird's were chirping, I was eating sweets with my new boss and it seemed all was right with the world. We soon arrived infront of the Carousel Boutique and were about to knock when we heard the sounds of arguing, we looked at one another before knocking of the door

"Now you and your friend's stay put until I get back!" We heard Rarity yell from the other side of the door, making us wonder who could've pissed her off. It was only a few seconds later before we saw the door open and a very angry Rarity was infront of us. "Pardon the look darling, but it seems my sister and her friends thought they can get their cutie marks from cooking... as you can clearly see, it didn't end well" Rarity said rather annoyed, but it was hard to take her seriously with the flour covering her.

"I see, we could come back later if you like" I suggested but Rarity shook her head.

"No, please, come in" Rarity said sounding kinda desperate as we walked in, though we quickly noticed three girls sitting on the couch all covered in flour like Rarity. "Meet the trouble makers, this is Scootaloo, Applebloom and my sister Sweetie belle " She said, pointing to the three girls.

First was an air-user who had orange skin with dark purple eyes an hair, she about 5'5 in height, and wore green cargo shorts and a black shirt with a skull on it, topping off the whole outfit with green running shoes.

Second was an earth-user with light yellow skin, blood red hair with a bow on top, and orange eyes wearing a green shirt that held a colored in apple in the middle, light blue Jean's and well worn boots.

And finally was a pure white magic-user like rarity, but her hair was light purple and pink hair that goes in a swirl and her eyes are Light green. She's wearing a pink stripped shirt with a purple skirt and sneakers.

"Sup, names Thomas nice to meet you guy's" I introduced myself, still eating my donut. "So... cooking huh?" I questioned them, causing them to flinch at the word.

"We thought we could get our cuties marks that way, but we kinda destroyed Rarity's kitchen" The one named apple bloom said innocently.

"Yeah! We didn't mean for thing's to get so outta hand so fast!" The named Scootaloo said and Rarity's sister Sweetie belle was just pouting angrily, not even looking at us.

"I see, well since you failed at cooking... maybe you can try your hands at cleaning, and wouldn't you guess it, their's a mess right over there" I said, seeing if they would fall for it. "You could get a cleaning cutie mark if you do it fast enough" I threw in, making theie ears perk up and all three bolted to the mess.

"Whoa, how'd you get them to do that so fast?" Rainbow asked, now sitting on the couch.

"Well I would usually watch Jackson's sister's while he had football games, and I found out that if you say they'll earn something from doing what they're told then they quickly do it without complaint" I explained, sitting down next to her. "Simple psychology, now for the reason Im here-"

"Hold that though darling, as soon as I'm clean I'll be happy to hear what you have to say" Rarity interrupted before quickly heading upstairs to get clean, leaving me and Rainbow to wait.

"Hey Thomas" Rainbow called.

"What up?"

"Do you have any brothers or sister's?" She asked and the question kinda made my heart ache a little, though I knew this question might come up sooner or later.

"Yeah, I got two sisters and a brother" I said. "They're all older than me so they've already moved out the house to live in dorms at their dream college's, my two sisters are studying to become medical scientists which are people who investigate diseases and conduct research and methods to prevent, as well as treat, in order to improve overall health in humans. My brother want's to be an actor so he's going to an acting college to improve his skills so he can be in big time movies" I said, giving Rainbow a quick briefing on my siblings.

"Whoa, bet all you guys were all egg heads like Twilight" Rainbow joked making me chuckle. "What're there names?"

"Margaret, Sadie and Zion" I answered.

"So since you were the youngest, I'm sure it must've been hard to see them leave huh" Rainbow said, hitting it right on the money.

"Yup, they were all fulfilling their dreams while was getting bullied for being me" I said sadly, making Rainbow frown.

"Well, if those two didn't exist then you wouldn't have met Jay or Jackson, or have come to this place... I say they were a blessing in disguise, sure it must've been shitty but look at you now. You're literally saving the whole world with your friend's and meeting new people everyday, so if you ask me, I think you hit the lottery" Rainbow said in an attempt to get me feeling better.

"I guess you're right, this place is great compared to my world" I said, feeling a little better, though now their was a long awkward silence between us. It felt really hot in here for some reason and I couldn't understand why. "Soooo, dash, do you have a dream?"

"Hell yeah, I'm gonna be a wonderbolt!" Rainbow exclaimed excitedly. "I would get to travel all across equis doing shows and preforming stunts no one would ever think of doing and fly side by side with the pro's like spitfire and soarin" She said with as much excitement as a little kid. "What about you Thomas, what's your dream?"

I honestly had to think about this for moment, back home I wanted to start a career in music with the skills I've acquired through my life. Though now, I couldn't really fulfill that dream anymore since I know nothing about the type of music here, so I was honestly left with nothing.

"My dream before coming here was to have a music career and use it as a way to help people deal with problems in their lives, but since Im in equestria now, I cant really pursue it anymore so... I don't really have a dream right now" I said, feeling a sort of emptiness inside me. "Maybe one day I can find a dream of mine, but until then, I'll try to live my life in happiness"

"Well even if you don't have a dream, at least you have a pretty nice goal in mind. Living your life in happiness sound's great honestly, if only it was that easy" Rainbow said and I had to agree, that goal was going to take a lot more work than anything else.

"Sorry for the wait you two, a lady must always look her best infront of company" Rarity said as she walked down the stairs, clean and calm. "So Thomas, to what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked walking over to us.

"I was hoping it wouldn't be to much trouble for you to make some outfits for me" I said, chuckling a bit as I saw the fashonista shake in excitement. "I do intend to pay you once I get the money of course, so do you think you can help me out?" I asked and before I could blink, I was already in another room, stripped down to my underwear and standing on a podium with my arms out. "I'll take that as a yes"

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to ask me to make you some clothes, I've had so many idea's for what can go with you and I'll surely throw in a custom design of anything for free!" Rarity said excitedly as she took my measurements with measuring tape and jotting them down on some paper with her magic. "Thomas, with a body like yours I can make you the most fabulous outfits anyone has ever seen, you have brighten up my day tremendously darling" Rarity continued with a big smile on her face, I couldn't help but laugh at her excitement and joy.

"Im glad I could be of assistance, I can already tell the outfit's you'll make will be the best clothes I will ever wear" I said, making her blush a little.

"Are you trying to get a discount with flattery Thomas, cause I'll tell you now it's working" Rarity said making us both laugh. "I alao appreciate what you did earlier with the kid's, I was mas of course but I was just blowing steam when I yelled at them. At least I know what to do next when they do something like this" She said.

"It was no problem Rarity, and Im glad you picked up on what I did as well, though don't use it too much or they'll catch on" I told her. "I almost blew it one time but that was a long time ago" I said feeling a small sense of nostalgia as I remember the day's of when I looked after Jade and Ruby. "Aaah, so much make up" I said with a blissful sigh.

"Oh, that reminds me about the picnic myself and the girl's planned today" Rarity said suddenly, peaking my interest. "If you like, would you care to join us?" She asked and seeing I had nothing better to do for the rest of the day, I agreed to tag along.

"Im surprised Rainbow didn't tell me anything" I said, a bit confused about that.

"Well Rainbow is known to sometimes forget's event's and parties until the last minute so don't blame her to much" Rarity said with a small grin.

"Hey now, I remembered the picnic today Rarity, I even made the sandwiches everyone likes" Rainbow said defensively, coming in the room trying not to look at my half naked form. "Anyways, I didn't bring it up because I thought Thomas would appreciate some alone time after just waking up" She said all the while shielding her eyes.

"I appreciate you looking out for me Rainbow, but I think I would much rather spend my free time with you, spike and the girl's rather than by myself" I said.

"Well if you need some alone time, just tell me alright" Rainbow told me with a hint of concern.

"Will do, now then, tell me more about this picnic" I said a little curious about it. While I was getting measured for my clothes, the two told me how they planned a little picnic today to just relax and enjoy the day with friends while eating some good food. Rarity also told me it was a chance for them to stop and take a moment to reflect on what has happened in the last few months, which honestly, was a lot to unpack. It felt nice talking with these two again, made me feel silly for overreacting at home.

After about an hour and a half had past, Rarity was done with my measurements and handed me my clothes back. She told me the clothes will be done later today after the picnic so I can head over an hour before her shop closes. As I pulled my pants up I can feel six set's of eye's peering inside the room, I looked towards the door and saw the three girl's peaking inside the room.

"You girls done cleaning up?" I asked, gesturing them to come in as I adjusted my belt.

"Yeah and no cutie marks showed up, you tricked us!" Scootaloo said angrily.

"I said try your hand and you might get your cutie marks, I never said they would show up" I defended myself, making Scootaloo open her mouth for a second then close it while pouting. "But look on the bright side, that's two things down from a whole list of skills to choose from, and if I read correctly about cutie marks then you're just gonna have to be patient. A talent takes time to craft and master, so you just have to find out what you're good at and make it your own, but it takes a lot of work... think you can handle it?" I questioned the three, who nodded.

"A talent of our own huh, guess we're gonna have ta work harder girls" Apple Bloom said getting the other two hyped up before they rushed out the room. I felt a little envious towards those three, they had the drive to work to the bone to find their dream, while I was stuck inside a hole in my mind.

"Cute kid's, wish I had their energy still" I said, a bit jealous. "Now then, when's that picnic supposed to start?"

Throne Room, P.o.v- Jackson

The castle was filled with people decorting and people barking orders to one another. A wedding was taking place in two days at this very castle, and it seem's like everything is going as planned.

"Alrighty, the roses are in order, the dress is being made as requested, everyone is putting up decor accordingly, and invitations have been finalized and sent to the guests... that sum's up everything quite nicely, right Tia?" I asked the woman, but she seemed to be in deep thought. "Still worried about that threat against the city, right?" I asked getting a nod from her.

"As a princess it is my sworn duty to keep everything and everyone safe from harm, if this threat were to come to pass Jackson... I fear we might not be strong enough to defend ourselves if push comes to shove" Celestia said grimly, her mood has not been a happy one ever since she got word of an attack that was supposed to happen on the day of the wedding. "Jackson, go an see how Shining Armor is doing, who knows how much strain he must be putting himself under just to maintain this protection spell around the whole city" Celestia ordered, I nodded and went to go find the man of the hour. It was his wedding after all, cant have him injured two days before he marries his fiance.

As I searched for the man, I kept thinking about what Celestia said about the attack. Truthfully speaking, myself and Jay would be more than enough to hold off any attacker's coming inside the castle, but if it's a full scale invasion then I can see why Celestia would say we wouldn't be able to hold our own for long. Jay and I are strong, but even we have limits, plus without Thomas to help us out it would be an unfair advantage for us.

"Why can't I ever have any happy thoughts" I groaned a little only to feel that negativity go away with a simple question.

"Guess who?" Feather chimed happily with her hands covering my eyes.

"Is it Blazing Fate?" I guessed amusingly, Feather giggled a little at this.

"Nope, last try, if you guess right Ill give you a prize~" Feather flirted, getting a small blush outta me.

"Is it Feather weight?" I guessed once more and got kissed on my cheek.

"Correct, how's work going Jackie?" Feather asked me, now wrapping her arms around my neck and floating up aimlessly like a balloon. It didn't hurt nor did I feel any choking from it, it was just a cute way of showing affection.

"It's been hard Feather, though not as much as what you guys are doing" I said, spinning around to face her. "You look tired, why not take a break love?" I suggested and she kissed me.

"What do you think I'm doing right now?" Feather said, it's been a good two weeks since we started dating and I whole heartedly love every second of it, we actually had a lot more in common than we originally thought. Although when it was really awkward on our first date, it did however get a lot better from their, she even wanted a date night after work.

"Im still surprised you wanted to have a date on a work night, did the princess of love make you feel lovey dovey towards me" I teased the girl who blushed at my comment. "So about our date later, where did you want to go?" I asked.

"I was thinking we could go to the movies, I heard they made a pretty cool action movie that just released, I think it's based on this book called daring do" Feather suggested and I was down with anything that had good action.

"Sure, I can use a good movie to get my mind away from all this craziness" I said with a chuckle. "Hey, where's your captian at, I gotta make sure he doesn't get to carried away with his magic" I asked.

"Oh, Captain Armor is at the main gate keeping watch with the others" Feather answered, I spun back around and headed towards the front with Feather in tow. "I think he needs a break considering he hasn't slept in three days, he may not look it, but he's in tremendous pain right now and a little on the loopy side" She said a little upset about her captians well being.

"Really? I heard his fiance is helping him ease the pain with her magic" I said just as we made it to the door. "But I guess even the strong have a limits" I added, opening the doors to front and seeing all the guard's doing their rounds while Shining Armor was up on a balcony ledge overseeing his troops.

"Get back to work you slackers, you aren't getting paid to lounge around understand!" Shining yelled towards two guardsmen sitting around talking to ine another. I walked up the stairs leading towards him and patted his shoulder.

"Take it easy captain, your gonna have a head of gray hair before you even get married" I joked making Feather giggle a bit, but it seemed he didn't find it funny.

"lieutenant Feather Weight get back to your post, we need everyone staying vigilante as a means to keep canterlot and the princess's safe" Shining said tiredly, much to Feathers disappointment as she dropped back down to her feet and let go of me.

"It's fine Feather, when your shift is done you can hang around my neck until I get off work" I said almost immediately getting a smile from her.

"That's a promise Jackie, I'll see you later!" Feather said before flying off to do her rounds again.

"You should head back to the Princess, Tell her I'm fine and everything is under control" Shining stated rather coldly, seems he wasnt doing fine at all.

"You know Shining, I was visiting Thomas in ponyville a few a day's ago to say hi but then I ran into your sister" I said immediately having a sword put against my throat. "Does she even know you're getting married?" I asked and he said nothing, which ultimately told me everything. "Well I sent her an invitation so she can at least support you"

"Does fucking with me get a kick out of you?" He asked with the blade still at my throat.

"Yup, especially when you're acting like a dick right now" I answered truthfully. "You weren't like this two days ago, you need to rest Shining, if you keep going you'll end up dead-"

"SO WHAT, IF IT MEAN'S KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE THEN I'LL GLADLY LET MYSELF DIE!!!" Shining roared at me, getting everyone around to look at us.

"I get that you wanna keep everyone safe, but killing yourself will do them and your fiance no good" I said as I tried to reason with this worn down and obviously sleep deprived royal guards captain.

"What do you know Jackson, you only saved equestria twice, I've been saving it ever since I became Captain of the Royal Guard, so tell me, what else have you done other than fuck one of my soldiers!" Shining shouted, it was silent after he uttered those word's. The atmosphere was so thick, a knife could cut portions out of it. "I bet you only fell in love with her for her body, the moron... she's a damn idiot if she fell for someone like you" he growled.

"Im a very hard man to anger, Ive held my tounge when it was time to call it quits and I never fought anyone without a reason" I said, sharply inhaling as I gingerly placed my clipboard to the side. "But when someone says something negative about the one's I care about, especially the one I'm in love with... their's not a god or a devil strong enough to hold me back" I told him, undoing the tie I had on then rolled of my sleeves and popped my knuckles.

"Am I supposed to be intimidated, you're nothing but a damn mistake, a fuckin accident made by your parents you cant even see anymore!" Shining yelled at me more, now officially pissing me off. I didn't care he was in a state of grogginess and stress, I wanted beat him to a bloody paste.

"Go to bed Shining, this is your first and final warning" I threatened, but he just reeled back with his sword and tried to cut me down, but I snapped my fingers and a small bolt shot from them, instantly melting the blade. "If you don't want to go to bed, I'll just make you" I stated angrily.

Jay's Room, P.o.v- Jay

"Hey Violet, you got any remedies for a headache?" I asked the nurse as I sat on my bed while she was getting ready for us to go out. Violets been extra busy ever since we came back from her vacation, and even though it did help her reset, I still wish she didn't strain herself to much. So I proposed that we go and find a gift for the bride and groom for the wedding happening two days from now and even get me a suit for said wedding.

"Yeah, I got a spell to fix that so get in here, oh wait-!" Violet said but she was to late to warn me as I walked into the bathroom. Two things happened in the span of three seconds, one, I saw Violet completely naked with a towel in hand, and two, I don't think I could've become more red then I was now. "Dont look!" She screamed, quickly covering herself with the towel.

"I-Im sorry!" I exclaimed and raced out the bathroom. "I-I didn't know you got out the shower, sorry about that Vie" I apologized.

"N-No, it was my fault for forgetting I was naked for a second... though... I-I guess I don't mind if it's you who saw me naked, better then some random person" Violet said making me feel less bad about walking in on her. "Do you still want me to get rid of your headache?" She asked and truthfully, I no longer a headache anymore thanks to all the blood rushing towards... somewhere else. I don't know what possessed me to do this, but I decided to try and push my luck.

"Ye... yeah" I lied, wanting to get another peak at her. "Still kinda hurts, think you can use your spell?" I asked but was left with silence until a few seconds later when she cleared her throat.

"Sure... come on in, it's okay now" Violet said shyly, I slowly turned to the bathroom door and walked inside.

"U-Uhm... you're still... naked" I pointed out, seeing Violet cover her face with a hand to hide her blush but also trying to act like it's nothing.

"S-So, it's perfectly natural for a girls boyfriend to see her naked!" Violet exclaimed frantically, catching me offguard when she said boyfriend. "W-Wait, thats not what I meant, I-I meant that you uhm... u-uh..." she tried to save herself but ultimately failed.

Honestly, she was acting so cute right now it distracted me from her naked form. I snapped myself out of my trance and walked towards her with my eye's never leaving hers.

"I-I know my assets may not be as impressive as most girl's, so I'll understand if you're a bit disappointed" she said, but that was far from the truth.

"Violet... you're beautiful" I said now standing infront of her cupping her cheek with my hand. "And if you're happy with someone like me... I'll gladly be your boyfriend" I told her, now it was my turn to blush furiously.

"I'd... like that a lot" Violet said with a smile on her face, gently grabbing my hand with her's. "I'm really glad I met you Jay"

"Me too Vie, this is honestly the happiest I've ever been in such a long time" I admitted, then we suddenly heard purring from somewhere. "Am... am I purring?" I asked, kinda amused at this, as was Violet.

"People from the drake race are said to be the human embodiment of a dragon and will take on traits from them such as wings..." Violet said before embracing me then nuzzling into my chest, making the purring louder. "And purring" she stated with a small giggle as we continued hearing me purr.

"Well I guess that mean's I'm telling the truth about being happy" I said, snorting softly. "C'mon, let's go get that present and find me a suit" I said and started towards the door.

"What about your headache?" Violet asked but I waved it off.

"Oh, must've went away" I said, getting a little smirk from my new girlfriend.

"You just wanted to see me naked didn't you?" Violet asked, getting it right on the nose.

"Whaaaat, nooooo..... yeah" I admitted, giggling like a little kid as I rushed out the restroom when she threw her brush at me.

"Pervert!" Violet called out, laighing a bit before continued her routine. After about fifteen munutes we were both dressed and clean and out the room, we decided to ask the castles personal seamstress if she could make me a suit before the wedding , so thats where we're heading right now. Violet said the girl owes her one after Violet saw her sneaking a guard into her room and didn't rat her out since that kinda thing isn't allowed. "I think I know just what to give them" Violet said, walking next to me while we traversed the halls of the castle.

"For the present, What did you have in mind?" I asked.

"We could get them matching gemstone bracelets, it would look so cute on them" Violet suggested and I kinda liked that idea.

"Well, guess we got the present down, now we just need my suite and we're good to go" I said, grabbing Violets hand. She didn't seem to show it, but I could tell she was brimming with joy right now, it was cute how she was barely able to hold it in. Honestly, I felt so happy, so at peace right now that it really felt like I was dreaming about this whole thing. I found someone who loves me, I'm living in a castle, I have a job and I found new friends to cherish.

I do wish my family could meet everyone, but that's sadly not possible. it devastated me when Celestia told me I had no way of going home or seeing my family ever again. I was completely broken an became really depressed by this news, but thanks to Violet, I was able to pull myself together and learn to deal with the new face of reality, I just hope everyone back home is doing okay... especially Michael. Though for now, everything was perfect.

"Jackson stop!" I heard Feather scream before we saw a body get flung through a window next to us. I quickly shielded Violet with a wing and looked at who came in.

"Shining?" I muttered as I saw the man bruised and a little bloodied on the floor. "Shining, what's going on!?" I asked the man but he just... glared at me. His eye's flashed a lime green for a second before returning to normal. "Hey... are you okay?"

"Don't worry Jay, I'm only holding back" Jackson said, jumping in from the opening and staring daggers at Shining. "If I actually wanted to I could've knocked you out with one punch, but I wanted you to feel my anger" Jackson said through gritted teeth making his way towards Shining.

"Jackson stop, its okay, he didn't mean to say those things, he's just delirious and really out of it right now!" Feather exclaimed to her, quite possibly, bloodthirsty boyfriend. "Please just stop!" She begged which seem to work.

"Jackie, what's got you so worked up to kick your own friend's ass!?" I demanded to know, walking over to the man who seemed to be in some sort daze. His eye's also glowed green for a second before going back to normal, which made start wondering what was going on with Shining and Jackson even more. "Jackie, you got anything to say?" I asked, snapping my fingers infront of him, but he just seemed confused for some reason.

"How... did I get here?" Jackson asked confused. "Feather? What are doing back from your post, did Shining change his mind?" He asked the girl, taking her aback.

"What, no, when I barely got back to my post Blazing came running after me and told me that you and Captain Armor were fighting one another so I raced back over to stop you from hurting him to much" Feather said. "But it looks like I was a little too late"

"Wait, what?" Jackson asked confused.

"What the hell has gotten into you, you could've kilked the Captain!?" She demanded.

"I-I have no idea what you're talking about, were friends, why would I fight Shining?" Jackson questioned, looking at said man on the floor. "Jesus christ, I did that?" He asked, a little shocked.

"Do you not remember?" Violet asked. "You said you were holding back so he could feel your anger" she went on, shocking the man even more.

"What... I-I would never fight someone without a good reason, hell, I would never fight my own friend!" Jackson defended himself. "I don't remember when or even how we started fighting"

"What's going on here?" We heard princess Luna demand, walking towards us in her regular attire, though the short hair was new. "I leave to patrol around the castle for a few minutes and I come back to the groom on the floor injured, shattered glass beneath us and bickering between all of you, so someone explain now because I am in no mood to play babysitter" Luna said, looking at all of us all with an icy cold glare. It was enough to make even Shining shiver.

'Why Thomas is in love with this woman is beyond me, she's scary as all living hell!' I shouted in my mind, as her glare continued to get colder the longer we said nothing.

"W-Well your highness, it seems my Boyfriend and Captain Armor got into a heated argument with one another, which unfortunately escalated into a full on brawl with eachother" Feather said, throwing a quick glare at Jackson who was still befuddled about everything going on, but it soon softened when she saw how apologetic he looked as he look towards Shining Armor. "Although it may seem these two knew what they were doing... Jackson told us he had no idea he was fighting the Captian in the first place and as you can see, he's very distraught and he still doesn't fully understand whats going on right now" Feather threw in to defend the man.

"Is that right?" Luna doubted, but did take notice of Jackson's body language. "Then tell young Jackson, do you know what's happening right now, or anything that happened a few moments ago?" She asked, keeping a close eye on him.

"I-I have no idea what's happening or why it's happening, nor do I even remember fighting Shining in the first place... I think I do remember something though... a voice I believe, female from what I can tell" Jackson said, getting all our attentions now.

"lieutenant Feather, go take your Captain to the medical bay, Jay and Nurse Violet please go with her and tend to this man's wounds... Jackson" Luna ordered sternly before turning. "We will discuss this in my study, come" she ordered once more and we all went to our respective roles. I was worried something was gonna happen to Jackson, though what he said was really strange, even Luna found it jarring.

"Guess we got stuck with work today" I said with a sigh, though Violet just grabbed my hand and smiled gently.

"I have a feeling everything will be okay, so don't worry" She assured me, enough to stop worrying about Jackson a bit. Though what he said about hearing a voice, what did he hear and what was the woman say. Questions for later, but for now, we gotta make sure Shining doesn't have anything to serious.

Luna's Study, P.o.v- Jackson

The room itself was clean, not a speck of dust in sight, not even a scratch on the shiney oak wood floor. The walls were covered in a mixture of navy blue and alabaster white marble tiles, creating depictions of the night sky that complimented the dark blue ceiling above.

"Have a seat Jackson" Luna told me to which I quickly did, sitting on this rather comfortable blue couch resting infront of a black desk with a white crescent moon in the middle. "I'll tell you right now my dear friend, you're not in trouble in the sense of getting punished for your actions... but you are in trouble of being controlled by something or someone" Luna said cautiously trying not to freak me out, which kinda didn't worked.

"Hold on, you're saying someone was controlling me?" I asked to which she nodded. "But, I was no where near anyone who could've controlled me and from what Feather said, Shining was to sleep deprived to cast any other spell except for the protection spell around the city" I said getting a low hum from the princess.

"It's possible someone else was being controlled at the time and you accidentally absorbed some of the excess magic when you came in contact with said person... but that's only if someone was lacking in that department because a spell will give off an aura if it's weak or unstable, though it is invisible to the naked eye, only myself, Celestia and our niece Cadance can see it" Luna explained, though it was kinda hard to follow.

"So you're saying that I accidentally absorbed some of this magic from a spell that was coming off from some other guy being controlled?" I asked and she nodded. "Wait, how come you, Celestia and your niece are the only one's that can see it?" I questioned.

"Equestrians born or ascended into the Alicorn race can sense, detect and spot the flow of magic if we focus our gaze, it's the one thing no other equestrian has which makes us a very rare and unique race" Luna explained. "It's what I was doing back in the hall's, I knew you could've never done something such as that since I remember you said that you only fight for a good reason and you would never harm your friends, but that still left the question as to why you did it... that's when I focused on you and saw the depleting remanents of the spell all over your body, though by now Im sure it's no longer on you anymore" Luna went on, this conversation was so intense that it started to make my head spin at the amount of information being told to me.

"Okay... that also leaves the question, who is controlling who" I said, Luna agreed to the statement but neither of us could figure it out. It was almost impossible for anyone to get into the city. "Luna, I do believe we have an intruder in our midst and it must be someone who is in this very castle, but who they are is another thing entirely" I said.

"You said you heard a female voice talking to you, what did she say?" Luna asked, I had to think really hard about this because of how faint the voice was.

"I think she said... take out the lighting boy, the dragon boy... but leave the devil to me" I recited to Luna. "I'm guessing lightning boy is me and dragon boy is Jay, but, who's the devil?"

"I'm not sure myself, but it seems like I was correct about you absorbing excess magic, because if they were ordering to take you out then it would be impossible to get rid of Jay, this woman is powerful that's for sure... argh! we keep going in circles Jackson, we find pieces to the puzzle but all of them end up being corner pieces!" Luna shouted in frustration, I too was getting aggravated but getting angry won't solve anything.

"... I think I know a way for us to get more piece's Luna, although we're gonna have to switch game's" I said slowly getting her attention. "This is now a game of chess, the Queen sent her knight to get rid of the rook, but was a move to short so I was able to beat her knight, right now she passed her turn to come up with another strategy, so I believe it's time to send in our knight in shining black armor" I said getting her full attention.

"Do you think we should tell him?" Luna asked, but I shook my head.

"Our knight must know nothing, tell him only about the wedding and what's happening, and have a little fun while you're at it Lulu" I said, teasing the woman a bit who hid a blush. "In a game of chess, Every. Single. Move. Counts, so let's make her believe we're trying to win this pissing contest and play dumb as a means for her to drop her guard, then when she slips up-" I snapped my fingers. "Check mate"

"Playing the fool to win the game... a clever man you are Jackson, hopefully it goes as planned" Luna said with a tinge of worry. "I hope Thomas doesn't think we're using him as bait when him and the other's get here"

"It'll be fine Luna, just act as though nothing had happened and have fun with your little boyfriend" I told her as I rose to my feet. "Let the Queens pieces fall so our puzzle can be complete" I said before heading out, leaving Luna with her thoughts. "Now then... how am I gonna apologize to Feather for beating up her Captain"

The Grassy Fields Outside Of Ponyville, 5:30 p.m., P.o.v-Thomas

"So Thomas, have you found anyone special yet?" Pinkie asked out the blue making me choke down the soda I was drinking. It's been a couple hours since I went to Rarities to get some clothes, now the girls, spike and I were on a hill above the grassy fields just outside of ponyville having the picnic Rainbow and Rarity told me about.

Fluttershy brought vegetables and fruit, Applejack brought the drinks, Rarity brought the blanket and plate's, Twilight and Spike brought over a picnic basket full of sandwiches and salads, Pinkie brought desserts out of nowhere and finally, Rainbow and I brought a guitar for me to play some music and my phone incase I got tired. It was peaceful until what Pinkie just asked.

"Pinkie" I groaned but this only made the girl giggle. "*sigh* No, I don't have anyone special yet... maybe one day I'll find one, but that day wont be coming for a loooong time" I answered, feeling two distinct small glares from Rainbow and Twilight. "What?"

"Nothing," Rainbow said.

"Jerk" Twilight spat.

"Alright settle down now, how's
'bout y'all play us a little somethin with that there guitar Tommy," Applejack said, pointing to said guitar next to me.

"Sure, any requests?" I asked but they knew I had no clue what songs were popular here. "I'm just messing, how about I play something from my world?" I said, strumming a few strings.

"Oooo, can it be something soft and romantic?" Fluttershy asked, getting looks from the others. "I-I just really like those types of songs"

"Sure thing Fluttershy, and I know just the song" I told her, quickly remembering the melody and soon playing it. "This is called, 'Falling in love with you'" I said before clearing my throat.

(love this cover, wish they had studio audio but oh well)

For the very first line I could tell the girls were loving the song, even Rainbow was drawn into it. I was so absorbed with the melody, I hadn't noticed I had my eyes closed during it. I remembered how at peace I felt when my mother sang this song to me and my siblings, it made me feel full of hope and joy, I felt a smile creep it's way on my face remembering her voice.

"But I can't help falling in love with you" I finished, though it felt like others were singing with me. The feeling felt so nostalgic, like I was back home singing with my family again but when I opened my eyes, I was met with something else and it made me realize something. When I opened my eyes I didn't just see my friends, I saw my new family all smiling and cheering as I put the guitar down.

"That was down right beautiful sugarcube, did you write that?" Applejack asked but I quickly shook my head

"It was written by the late king of rock, Elvis Presley" I said. "And I'm glad you enjoyed it"

"What other songs do you know?" Twilight asked, seeming interested in my world's music.

"Well there is a group I loved to listen to called 'Imagine Dragons'" I said, kinda snorting at their name since my best friend is half dragon now. "Oh! I know a great song from another band I listen to, took a couple of weeks but I finally figured out how to play it" I said excitedly, getting ready for my next song. Until we heard spike start groaning slightly before burping up a scroll from the castle.

"Pause that song for a second Thomas, I think it's Princess Celestia responding to a request I sent for extra books for the Library" Twilight said making me give a disappointed sigh, she opened the letter and cleared her throat before speaking again. "Dear Twilight Sparkle, you and your friend's have been cordially invited to the wedding of one Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and... WHAT!?" She screamed at the top of her lung's, I'm pretty sure she scared the whole town with that scream.

"Jesus Twilight, I like to have my hearing thank you very much" I said, a bit annoyed at the book worm. "Gimmie that" I demanded, ripping it out of her hands then reading it in my head a little.

"So who's the groom?" Rainbow asked.

"Some guy named Shining Armor, it also says it happening two days from now... why are we just barely getting this?" I muttered that last part, I looked to the still stunned Twilight and poked her cheek a bit. "Twilight, why are you so shocked about a little wedding?" I asked only to quickly get tackled by the woman, she straddled me with eye's of pure rage staring into mine.

"It's not just any little wedding Thomas, it's my Brother's wedding" Twilight seethed, digging her nails into my arms that she held firmly above my head. "I'm gonna kill him, I'm really gonna murder that bastard for not tell me, his own sister, that he was getting married!" Twilight growled, eyes still locked on to mine with burning hatred and I kept asking myself.

'Why is this version of Twilight really hot?' I thought randomly. "So... you gonna keep giving the others a show or you gonna get off me?" I asked with this weirdly new found confidence. The hell's up with me?

"What, o-oh!" Twilight said realizing the position she was in and blushed. She quickly got off and rubbed her flushed cheeks, I sat back up and chuckled.

"Never seen you this pissed off before Twilight, guess your brother really hit a nerve" I said as I looked over the letter. "Family problems?"

"Not exactly, but when he went to train for the Royal Guards and I for the Celestias school for gifted magic-users, we kinda lost contact with eachother... I have seen him in ten year's" Twilight said with a hint of sadness.

"Yeesh, I can honestly relate to how you feel Twilight, not talking to your own flesh and blood for so many years only to come back with shocking news like getting married... kinda hits home" I said, chuckling a bit remembering something that happened with me and Sadie. "But instead of getting angry Twilight, you should be happy that he's still in your thoughts and wants you to be there for him on his big day" I threw in, which did seem to calm her down a tad bit. But she still held on to some anger.

"I guess you're right, but Im still gonna give him a piece of my mind once we get to Canterlot" Twilight said, getting a chuckle from me.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn" I muttered before getting to my feet. "Well girl's, guess we'll take a rain check on that song cause we got some packin to do. If we leave tonight we should arrive before the sun is up tomorrow" I said to which they all nodded in agreement.

"Alright y'all, let's say we head to the station at 10:30, it'll give us all enough time ta pack and get ready for the trip over, sound good?" Applejack asked.

"That sounds excellent darling, it'll give me time to get some dresses and a suite ready for us" Rarity said with an eager look in her eye.

"Nah, it's all good Rarity we'll just wear the stuff you gave us for the Gala" Rainbow told her and it looked like everyone agreed to this, much to Rarities disappointment.

"B-But you know, I was thinking I could use another suite in case the other one got dirty" I said as a means to make her feel better. Which worked because she was gone like a bullet when I told her that, even took the stuff she brought with her. "Wow... she really loves making clothes huh?"

"I mean can you blame her, making clothes is what she love's, its her calling to make everything beautiful" Pinkie said as she picked up her stuff as well and began bouncing off. "Oh yeah, be sure to duck when we get to canterlot" she told me before heading off, though confused I picked up the guitar and pocketed my phone getting ready to head off.

"Guess we'll be seeing you guy's, and Twilight please dont plot ways to kill your brother" I told the bookworm but it fell on deaf ears. We gave one more goodbye and started our way back home, it wasn't everyday you'd get invited to a wedding, especially one that has a princess getting married. "Wonder how fancy that wedding will be"

"Well if it's a princess getting married then I'm pretty sure they're all pulling out the stops" Rainbow said also imagining it. "I wonder what Twilights brother looks like, I mean, if he joined the royal guard then he must be pretty built"

"Who know's, he might be the male version of Twilight for all we know" I joked eliciting a chuckle from Rainbow. "I think one book worm is more than enough don't you think?"

"Absolutely, is she still doing experiments on you?" Rainbow asked.

"Nit as much, she came to the conclusion that our biology is basically the same except for a few... minor attachments" I said patting Rainbow's wings getting them to twitch and having her give an embarrased blush. "That and there's a thing were you guy's have something called heat"

"O-Oh... she told you about that" Rainbow said, sidestepping a bit away from me.

"Yeah, though she didn't give me an explanation about it, but she did say that female's here have their body temperature increase which cause them to get aggressive" I said now noticing the girl was six feet from me.

"That's one way of putting it, you can look it up in one of your books you nerd" Rainbow said, slowly coming back to her regular attitude. We soon reached the house and with a quick turn of the knob I opened it and was met with the cool air of the A/C.

"Man, magically powered A/C units are waaaaay better then the one's back home" I said, sighing in relief to be out of the hot sun. Dont know what Celestia is doing but I know she can feel this heat too, maybe she's sunbathing or something. "Hey Rainbow, mind if I take the first shower? Cause I know you like to take long hot shower's" I asked as I removed my shirt upon entering the house, but after a minute of silence I turned to the rainbow headed girl only to see her face completely red.

"S-Sure" Rainbow stuttered, not taking her eyes off me. "H-Hey uh... when did you get like this?" She asked which confused me.

"What do you mean?" I asked with a chuckle.

"W-well... you just look different from usual" Rainbow said, trying not to look at me. "No offense but you look... more like a man now" she said then blushed when I busted out laughing.

"Thanks I guess, anyways, I'ma go an take that shower so I'll see you in a bit" I said, beginning my accent up the stairs and quickly going to my bathroom. "Look more like a man now hehe, don't know if that's a compliment or not" I said, starting the water and waited for it to get warm.

I kept thinking about what Rainbow said and it just seemed so funny to me. I've always been considered a boy even though my age say's otherwise, it was all thanks to my body looking so fragile and weak. Being skinny was both a blessing and a curse since I've struggled to actually build up some muscle over the years.

"Guess I'm cursed to be like this.... though I guess it wouldn't hurt to humor the idea" I said quickly glancing at the mirror then walked over to it, giving me a full view of my body. "Well uh... that's new" I said, staring at the new found muscle on me. Granted it wasn't anything grand or godly, but it did fill me out pretty decently, it kinda looked like I was in the middle of toned and untoned which weirdly balanced out. "Maybe it's a boost from the demons power, but hey, Im not complaining" I chuckled and stripped before heading into the shower.

"I got a good feeling about this wedding"

A Few Hour's Later

Rainbow and I sat on a bench an waited at the Train station for the others to show up since we packed pretty quickly after taking quick shower's at home.

"Man I cant wait to see the guys again, it's been a bit since Ive seen them and I gotta be honest, it feels weird not seeing them everyday... I wonder how they're doing" I said excitedly.

"Ive actually been meaning to ask about you and yours friends, how long have you guy's known eachother?" Rainbow asked and I had to think for a bit.

"I think we've known eachother our whole lives, they're my best friends, I'd even go as far as to call them my brother's... if it weren't for them, I'm pretty sure I'd end up a completely different person" I said, smiling warmly at the old memories flashing in my head. "How about you Dash, before you met the girl's, did you have any best friend's you were close to?" I asked, but her happy face was replaced with an angry one.

"Other than Fluttershy, I had another friend who I thought I could consider my sister... she actually showed up to ponyville one day out of the blue and I was so excited to see her. I wanted have her meet my new friends so they could see how awesome she was... but..." Rainbow stopped, trying her hardest not let her anger out.

"Im guessing it didnt end well huh?" I asked, and she nodded.

"She treated our friends like annoying insects and even screamed at Fluttershy for helping a couple of duckling cross the road. Pinkie told me everything that was happening, and so I wanted to see for myself and it turns out... every word was true. It hurt so much finding out what was going on, but it hurt even more when I realized she could never accept my new friends no matter how much I wanted her too" she continued with her fury slowly turning to sadness. We both sat in silence for a bit, but it was broken when I heard small hiccups and sniffling from the girl. Before she could go into a full breakdown, I reached over with one arm and pulled her in for a hug. "It hurts, so much... to hide these emtions"

"I... I understand how you feel Rainbow, I wish I was hear to try an make thing's better... I'm sorry you had to hide your emotions Rainboe" I said, letting her cry into my shoulder. "Nothing hurts more than being disappointed by the one person who you thought would never hurt you... do you hate her Rainbow?" I asked.

"No... just disappointed" She answered through her tears. I felt my heart ache seeing her so miserable, letting emotions build up can really harm the body, but when you let them out it becomes uncontrollable.

"They say that a friend can turn into a stranger, but a stranger can become a dear friend" I qouted, getting her to look at me. Her eyes were red and her cheeks were raw from the tears flowing down her face. "You may have lost your friend, but you got six more to fill the cracks... and you have me, for better or worse, no matter what you say or do I'll always be right there with you" I told her, gingerly wiping her tears away and it seemed she relaxed under my touch.

"Why do I have to be in pain Thomas?" Rainbow asked.

"It's what makes you human... or equestrian, still confused about that" I said, getting her to giggle a bit. "Everything will be alright Rainbow, I promise"

"Thanks Thomas, you're actually the first person to see me like this in years" She said slowly pulling back. "I honestly hate crying"

"... Me too" I said letting her calm herself down a little more, wiping the tears away and trying to look more like herself. Though her raw cheeks and red eyes were gonna get some questions from the others. "You feel better?" I asked, gently patting her head.

"Yeah, guess I just needed someone to listen to me ramble for a bit... sorry you had to see me like this" Rainbow apologized.

"You don't have to apologize for having emotions, feelings pain shows that your maturing" I said, bringing out my phone and earbuds. "Here, why don't I put on something to get your mind off it" I said as I plugged the earbuds in and put one in her ear and the other in mine.

"I think that's a great idea Thomas" Rainbow sighed blissfully, closing her eyes and leaning on me. I chuckled a bit before I looked for a song then hit play.

We let the song play as we waited for the others to get here. I honestly felt like I was starting to get closer to Rainbow, she usually shy's away from telling me what was wrong with her, but she poured out her heart out talking about how she felt when her bestfriend wasn't who Rainbow thought she was. I wish I could take the pain away, but I sadly dont have that power... not even superhero's have that power.

I sometimes think about how much I really dont know about the others, sure we've had conversations but nothing really deep. The only one's I've actually had a deep conversation with is Rainbow, Applejack and Luna. I sighed at this thought, but I knew it was only a matter of time before I get to know more about the girls so for now I just have to wait and see if they will open up to me in the future.

"That song actually made me feel... better" Rainbow said as the song ended, though she didn't move from her position on me. "Music from your world is amazing"

"Yeah, those two always make great song's and Im glad your feeling better Rainbow" I said putting my things away. "The other's should be here any minute now, wanna go greet them?" I asked, but it seem's she fell asleep on my arm. While she gave soft snores I held back my laughter, though it was short lived when I heared footsteps and voices talking amongst eachother towards us.

"Thomas ya'll-!" Applejack called out but I shushed her when she appeared with the others. I pointed to the sleeping daredevil and they all 'aw'd' at the sight, I chuckled at there reaction and carefully picked the girl up trying my hardest not to wake her. "Alright then, let's get goin" Applejack whispered to us and we boarded the train.

2:35 P.M., Halfway To Canterlot

I stared out the train window as the others fell into an early sleep hours before. I watched as the scenery rushed past us in a mesmerizing manner, it was peaceful for a moment in my life. Though even good things must come to an end.

"Thomas, you awake?" I heard Twilight ask in a low voice as a means to not wake the others.

"What's up Twilight, bad dream?" I asked her, turning to face her.

"You could say that, it was rather intense really" Twilight said sitting down next to me. "Mind if I use you as a dream journal?"

"Go ahead Twilight, Im all ears" I told her and she took a deep breathe before starting.

"We... were all together at my brother's wedding, getting ready for the ceremony. All of us were laughing, smiling, having Rarity freak out over her dress because it was a different color, but... I looked around and I couldn't find you, it was like you vanished from existence. I searched the castle for you but still no sign, I guess I assumed you were alright so I decided to pay my brother a visit only... I saw someone controlling him like a puppet, thats when the dream started shifting" Twilight said though took a second to relax herself from her uncontrollable shaking. "I ran to the other's to tell them, but they didn't believe me because they thought I was acting out of jealousy for losing my brother. I went to Celestia and Jackson and told them the same thing, though they only laughed at the thought, even Jay didn't believe... then suddenly the sky became dark, their was a loud crash and a loud explosion shook the castle. Everyone was panicking as these black orbs chased them around the castle, I headed towards the throne room to see if the others were okay, but when I got their I... saw a man, covered in darkness with horns curled to the sides of his head as well as horns curling up, standing above a mountain of dead charred bodies all while holding a sword and a broken shield, but that wasn't what terrified me the most... it was his face..." Twilight stopped unable to control the shaking now, I gave her a quick embrace which kinda helped her settle down.

"Twilight I-" I said but was stopped when she pushed away from me and looked at me with both anger and terror in her eyes.

"What scared me the most, was that your face... was exactly like his"

Author's Note

Super random but if I could draw, I would totally draw Thomas holding his Demons face over his like Ichigo with his hallow mask.

Also I know its late but, WHOOOOOO BLEACH 2020 BOOOOOOIS!!!!!
