"You did what?!?" Twilight stared at the two like she just heard a few lines out of Discords private diary. They just had gotten done telling her what had occurred within Berry's home.

"You Alex, yes i told you that you are allowed to kill him but that...what is wrong with you?!?" Alex slightly winced at the outburst but he had to admit, she was correct, he completely went overboard and lost control of himself.....again. Twilight then turned to Berry.

"And you....you.....I never thought you would be even capable of thinking about such a thing!" Berry by now was staring at a wall of the castle, slowly rocking back and forth.

"T-t-they will banish me, oh my god what have I done....I just wanted to protect my daughter.....it just.....it just came over me and then...." Alex walked up behind Berry and hugged her, she jumped lightly but leaned into him as he hummed a song.

"I know Berry, it was not your fault. You had been through so much, something would have happened either way." He cuddled her softly. She nodded slowly as she still was shivering.

Twilight now stared at Alex in even more disbelief. "H...how can you even say such stuff so nonchalantly? I mean, I.....I know I wanted you to make him disappear but...this was too much. "

Alex turned to her, his face a mixture of pain,despair and sadness. "Do you think I don't know that? Do you really think I do not know that i went overboard? I did but I did it because....I...just lost it. The worry for Berry and my anger, they....they brought something back in me I had hoped I had buried away inside me a long time ago!"

"What do you mean by that? What did you bury, how....?" Twilight asked in bewilderment to which Alex decided he had said too much and shut up.
"Alex, you have to tell me, if there is something that made you leash out like that, in that fashion we need to know about it!"

Berry looked up at Alex and rubbed his hand with her hoof. "Please hon, you can trust us. " He looked down at her then back at Twilight.

"You Berry, yes i can trust but not her i am afraid. She is still a princess of ponykind and I saw how she treats other species." He sounded worried.

Twilight sighed deeply at that. "Listen Alex. Yes I am a princess and i do share a lot of the royals sentiments they do towards other species but you have proven yourself to be a creature no, a person that is worth acknowledging as such. So in order to help you get past the princesses wrath when they find about this, without you dying or being maimed I need to know what you mean by that!"

Both Berry and Alex backed away a bit at Twilight's outburst. "Alright alright....I will talk....but just know that what you will hear may not be the most happy tale ever told." Alex rubbed his chin, his face changing to a serious look.

"You know back when I was in your and Applejack's custody when we first met you asked me a few questions. But a few you did not ask, and one of them was if I had any family back from where I come from. Now the thing about that would have been, that I would have answered no. I have no family, or at least not anymore." Both mares listened closely, Berry slightly leaning against him.

"Back when I had a family, parents, a little sister I was.....let's just say I was not exactly a stellar son or brother. Got into trouble, took drugs all that shit. Heck i probably started to drink way to early too, thanks to that now I can't really stop anymore." He chuckled softly but got back to being serious.

"Through that I got in touch with bad company....I got into a gang, got my first kill very soon after and after a while killing and hurting people was the norm for me. It was like waking up each day." A deep frown formed on Twilight's face. "Of course that did not go well for very long and soon I had to pay the price for what I did. First it only hit me personally, I got beaten, shot at and threatened but that was normal to me by that point. But all that changed when the threats were not aimed at me anymore but instead were aimed at my family." He shook his head.

"Mom told me after some weeks that we needed to move away from that town, I did not want to run but i understood the urgency of the situation, however that brought on even more problems."

"How so, you moved away and that's it right?" Wondered Berry looking up at him with innocent eyes.

"Sadly no....it was not that easy. I had to get out of my gang after all and let me tell you, they were not amused at all by that. They told me, if I were to leave their gang they would destroy my life. I told em to go suck it and well....they did destroy my life." He looked at the ground, the pain visible on his face.

"What did they do?" Asked Twilight who had stepped closer a bit.

"Well....they pretty much killed my family. We were just about to drive off to the new city, when I heard the shots....barely managed to pull down my sister to safety. My parents however....they got hit, mom died immediately but dad, he had only been shot in the liver, at least if the autopsy report is correct. He told me to take my sister and run as fast as I can before he died. I did ran with her, she was crying all the way, not understanding what had happened or why it did happen. All she knew was that it was my fault." Tears were visible in his eyes as he remembered the situation that he had locked away for so long,once again.

"We ran for several minutes and I already though we had escaped, when I got shot in the leg. We had been followed and while I lied there on the ground, three of them showed up, one of them with a gun and well...he shot my sister right infront of me. There was nothing I could do." He was openly crying by now.

"But that does not explain why you acted that way with Silver Mane. " Spoke up Twilight who by now looked saddened by the story as well, while Berry had hugged the man tightly.

"Well after they shot her....they went on to taunt and beat me.....and something snapped inside me. It was like a red mist covered my sight, I killed all three of them and once I was done, they were not recognizable anymore. Since then I sometimes get these urges to do such stuff in...dire situations. That's why I always try to stay calm...." He hugged back Berry now and buried his face in her fur.

Twilight sighed and nodded. "Well, while it may not be the best reasoning for how you acted, I now understand why you did it and also I think I can make a compelling defense case for you. So do not worry, I will do my best to help, I mean you saved a mare and mother and her child, so I think the princesses will be lenient with you. However I do not know how to make them be so kind with Berry for what she did." She looked really worried.

Alex shook his head. "Then she won't be accused at all in the first place. I will take the blame for what she did.It is the least I
can do for how kindly she has been treating me all this time." He rubbed Berry's ear who leaned into his hand. "But now....I
need some rest....and a few drinks."

Berry nodded. "Say no more, my bar is always open to you,plus I need a few ones too. Twilight, is my house corpse free by now?" She looked scared still.

"Yup, the corpse has been brought the autopsy and well, the place has been cleaned too of course. So feel free to go home." The purple unicorn smiled at the two who nodded and stood up. "Just make sure to show up to the Princesses visit. Alex, you because they want to see you and Berry, you because you are housing him at the moment." The two of them nodded and picked up Berry Pinch who had played with Spike all that time to go home.

Once they had arrived at home they enjoyed a few drinks together and soon after that it was time for Pinch to go to bed. When Berry went to pick her up and get her into bed the filly spoke up.

"Mom...could Alex bring me to bed today....p-please?" She brought on the puppy-dog eyes,which were not needed in the first place as Alex picked her up softly and chuckled.

"Of course I can Pinchy, here we go!" He smiled as he carried her upstairs and bringing her into bed, after making sure she had properly brushed her teeth of course. She looked up at him once she was in bed.

"Alex, would you please tell me a bedtime story? Mommy always does so, it really helps a lot." Alex nodded with a big smile as he felt his heart basically explode, out of cuteness overload.

"What kind of story would you like to hear?" He smiled softly

"One about someone of your kind, Human right? Please?" She once again used the puppy-dog eye look to which he nodded.

"Alright but it will only be the first part of the story, it is a long one after all. It is the story about how one man became a king and formed a group of righteous knights around him to battle evil. " With that he began to tell, about halfway in the story the kid had fallen asleep already.

He smiled and kissed her forehead before leaving the room and walking back downstairs into the bar for a few more drinks and to make a plan together with Berry about how to handle the princesses.

Three days later the three of them were awoken by a set of very loud knocks on the door. Still tired and slightly grumpy from the rude awakening Berry and Alex made their way down to the door. Both had not get much sleep, as since the bar had opened again there had been many customers. Alex had began to work and his drinks despite him being a different species had gotten quite a popularity, making him have to work overtime last night.

Berry turned to the door and motioned to Alex with a hoof and a grunt that he should go make some coffee, he nodded in return and got into the kitchen while Berry opened the door. On the other side was a very excited looking Twilight.

"Good morning Berry. Are you okay, are you awake, is Alex awake, today they are coming, we need to get ready. We need to get you two ready and look presentable and-" She was interrupted by Berry with a grunt.

"Twilight, it is early in the morning, Alex and I had to work overtime yesterday, so please....be quiet for a while till we had some coffee. Please...." Twilight looked a bit nervous but stayed quiet as Berry lead her inside. The smell of freshly made coffee was filling the living room and kitchen.

Alex walked over two mugs of steaming hot coffee in his hands. He handed one over to Berry who sighed in relaxation. "Want one too?" He asked Twilight who shook her head.

"No thank you very much, I don't like the bitter taste of coffee." She looked at the two who too their first sips.

"We also have caramel syrup and milk, it won't be bitter then." Sang the human to which Twilight sighed in slight annoyance but giggled also.

"Okay okay. I will have some." Alex chuckled and turned to make some more Coffee, quickly returning with it. Twilight herself looked at the two with uncertainty then took a sip. Slowly a smile spread on her face. "This is good, but besides that....are you two ready for the princesses arrival?"

"Well yes and no." Alex took another sip from his mug. "On one hand we are cause we kind of have a plan how to act, on the other hand, we of course can't predict everything. So there are still some danger factors, like them having the same views on other races but them being turned up to eleven on that front."

"Yeah, I thought about that too. I really hope they won't attack you for what happened. But I think your case should be strong enough to keep you safe, combine that with the fact you are basically a alien creature and it should go over well." Twilight nodded to that with a small smile.

Berry then spoke up. "But....just in case....what could happen?"

"I must admit, I have no idea."Twilight hung her head low."I wish I did, but I am not allowed in the courts concerning other races yet. Something about me having to prove myself worthy as a princess of ponies and such."

"I guess all we can do then is wait and see..." Spoke Alex. After that they went over some of the customs you had to apply to when talking to one of the princesses. A small but good breakfast continued and Alex brought Pinch to school, all the while thinking about the visit that would come that evening.

Several hours later, the sun was slowly setting, casting a soft orange flare all over the sky and the trio was waiting outside of Twilight's castle for the royal visit when at the sky line slowly a golden glimmer neared itself towards them.

"It's the royal carriage....it has been some time since I saw it the last time, but....why are the princesses traveling with it?" Twilight wondered, one eyebrow raised.

"Well they maybe bring a whole group of guards with themselves?" Alex mused as he looked on to which Twilight shook her head.

"No, if they had, they would just have brought pegasus guards with them." By now the carriage was clearly visible, it was fairly big.

"Well there is only one way to find out, we wait and see." Spoke Berry, she was shaking a bit as all three of them felt a weird kind of pressure come closer with each second the carriage did. After a few minutes it set on the ground softly, the door was opened and five guards stepped out, two unicorns, two earth ponies and one pegasus. After them two beings left the carriage, whose surrounding atmosphere made Alex shiver slightly. These must have been the princesses, by their mere looks Alex already knew the difference in power between them and himself.

The one on the left was taller than the other but not by much. She had a pristine white coat that seemed to radiate off pure light which made it hard for the human to look at her for a long time. Her mane like Rainbows seemed to consist of all the colors of the rainbow but her mane had a more ethereal look to it, same for her tail. Both seemed to be in constant flow, like wind was brushing through them softly.She also wore some kind of tiara and necklace, both seeming to be made of pure gold accompanied with what looked like horseshoes of a special kind,made from a metal so white and pure, he had no idea how it had even been given this form. Her eyes had a lavender rim and seemed soft while she looked from Twilight onto Berry, as soon as she looked at him however her look became more hard and cold as she stared at him, making him feel very uncomfortable. Like Twilight she was a Alicorn, he had expected such. He also was certain that this had to be Princess Celestia as she radiated off more power than the other one.

Alex the looked onto the smaller one of the two. Her Coat was of a night blue color. She also had a own presence of power radiating of off her but hers was much more calm and gentle. Yet Alex did not relax as he felt a certain kind of danger coming from her. Her mane and tail was like looking into the night sky, sparkling and also waving in the air like wind was brushing it. She herself wore a smaller tiara and necklace, both made from materials Alex had no idea what it could be, on said necklace the sign of a half moon showed. Her shoes seemed to have been made from pure stainless silver. Her turquoise eyes flowed over the group and left on him, she however showed a look of interest and curiosity rather than one of worry and hostility. Both of them seemed to be a little bit taller than him.

He was waiting for one of them to speak up when suddenly from the carriage a male but very petty sounding voice could be heard.

"Aunties, is the creature out there as well, I can't wait to see it, I heard it is tall and very strong. I want to see how strong it is!!" Both Twilight, the princesses and Berry had a look of annoyance and somewhat pain on their faces when a unicorn stallion stepped out of the carriage whose look basically screamed, posh spoiled prince.

His coat was white as Celestia's, however his had no power radiating off of it. He also had a long blond mane and tail that looked like it had taken hours to style them that way. He also wore a small black vest with a gray undershirt and a blue tie. In his vest a small red rose had been nestled. He let his light blue eyes look at them till his look fell upon Alex, there his eyes widened in excitement as a smile spread on his face for a second, that completely went against how he had sounded before.

He went to simply trot over to Alex but was stopped when he walked into a wall made from yellow magic. He looked up at Celestia who had stopped him, like a impatient child that wanted to have some candy and was being stopped by a parent.

"Auntie, why are you holding up a wall? I want to look at the being no, the visitor a bit closer and maybe talk to him? Why are you stopping me??!" He stomped his hoof onto the ground.

Celestia sighed in annoyance before she spoke in a voice, that was usually spoken softly but now had a harsh and hard tone to it. "I am very sorry nephew but we don't know if that.....thing is no danger to ponies or you for that matter."

"We do not think so sister, this being, it does not seem like it would be capable to fend for it's own. At least to us and the guards it will not pose any kind of threat in our opinion, so lower that guard and let our nephew meet the creature, so we can continue with more important tasks.Although we also wish to have a chat with it as well later on." The one Alex assumed had to be Luna spoke up, her eyes still resting on him calmly.

"Fine...." Celestia sighed and made the magical wall vanish, making the young prince let out a happy neigh.

"Thank you so much aunties!!" The stallion skipped to Alex who looked on with a slightly worried face. "Good day visitor, I am Prince Blueblood, nephew of the princesses of Equestria. May i know your name as well?" He still had that pompous tone to him but toned down a lot.

"The name is Alex, Alex Terris, I know it may sound a bit stupid but why did you tag along your aunts?" Alex noticed a harsh glare from Celestia at that question.

"How could I not have come along? A new being from far away, comes to our little land? I just had to see you in person to make sure you are real. Now....I know that may be a bit rude but....may I prod you, or poke if you will? I just want to see what well....you are like." Blueblood had a half shy half nervous grin on his face as he asked.

"Nephew, why are you asking that thing? You are a prince of Equestria, act your part and just take what you want, he is alone, we are many. So stop trying to smear honey around it's maw." Scolded Celestia to which the prince rolled his eyes and gave Alex a pleading look.

Alex sighed and nodded, making Blueblood smile brightly. The prince then lifted his hoof and very softly prodded Alex arm, shoulder and chest. "Hmm, for your looks you are well build, you are hiding much under that clothing of yours. Also....are there any zones....that would be in bad taste?"

"Indeed there are. Like every male....between the legs, I mean if you bought me dinner three times first that would be different but not like this." Alex chuckled softly but noticed that Blueblood showed to be blushing slightly.

"Oh i am so sorry Mr.Alex, I did not know you were a male of your kind. Don't get me wrong, you do look the part but I myself have diamond dog females among my servants that look buffer than most men and male dragons that may as well be female, so please do not be angry with me." Blueblood then noticed that Celestia was still looking at the two. Clear distrust in her eyes. "M-maybe we should take this talk somewhere else?"

Alex looked at Twilight. "That fine?"

She looked at him in bewilderment. "If you want to hang out with the most childish and snobbish stallion of Canterlot be my guest." Alex smirked and put his eyes back on Blueblood.

"How about we leave this spot for a better atmosphere without death glares thrown."He looked at Celestia whose eyes seemed to glow. "I work at a small bar not far from here,care for a drink?"

"Yes I would love to. Please, lead the way Mr.Alex." With that Alex led the prince to the bar he worked at and the house he lived in.

After a short while filled with small-talk and some jokes they arrived within the bar. Blueblood looked at all the bottles lined up while Alex took his spot behind the bar.

"So Prince Blueblood..." he began but the stallion held up his hoof.

"Just Blueblood or Blue for short if you wan't to." He smiled softly

"Okay then, so Blue, what can I make you, something sweet and light, just strong or maybe very sweet and strong?" He got his shaker and opened the ice tray.

"Sweet and strong please, I have to be honest,while I like drinking, I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to well stallion drinks." The prince blushed once again slightly.

Alex nodded and began mixing a drink together, pouring melon liquor,vodka and orange juice into the shaker with some ice and began shaking. " Now pal, why does Twilight seem to....dislike you? You seem fine to me?"

The prince chuckled softly. "Quite a few reasons in fact, heck even my aunts don't like my antics that much. But mainly....quite possibly because I treated a friend of hers badly on a party a few years back. I was much more stupid back then, treating everyone as if they were below me and such. But that is over now."

"I see, and the reason your aunts dislike you is....?" Alex poured the drink into a glass and served it to Blueblood.

Blueblood took a sip and sighed in relaxation."Well it is only Celestia who seems to deem me as unworthy to be a royal of
Canterlot. Aunt Luna i never figured out. But for the reason why, there are two major ones." He took another sip. "Those being for one i do not share the ideas of Celestia at all. Us standing above other races, that is horse apples I tell you. But I kind of had to play along. So I did something that really peeved her. I got a lot of different races as my servants and such, but instead of treating them badly I decided to treat them very good, almost like family you know. That really made her go of on a tangent on me one day."

He took another sip."Mhhm this is good.Anyways, the other reason is because I once tried to get into one of the investigations done on a stallion of the royal guard. His name is Silver Mane. Was accused of beating his wife and kid till she got the divorce through.I wanted to get that guy into the chambers, cause it was so obvious he was guilty but no, aunt Celestia told me to not stick my nose where it does not belong. That's another reason I am here for, heard he came back home and wanted to make sure he stays in line."

Alex eyes widened. "Oh really, then I can assure you he won't be any trouble anymore."

"Oh really how so?" Blueblood took another sip of his drink.

"You see, his wife Berry Punch took me in and to this day treats me so kindly, so I made it my job to protect her and the kid. So when that guy came around he did try to do bad but I made sure he can't since I did...."

Alex was about to tell his deed when a loud angry shout from the direction the princesses were could be heard, loud enough to echo all through Ponyville. The one shouting was Celestia.

"IT DID DO WHAT?!!?" Alex face lost all it's color as dread began to rise in his stomach.

"Shit....Blue....I think I will die now..."
