After the whole ordeal with that dragon and having a small reunion with the girls, Twlight sent the guy off with two guards escorting him to who knows where. Not like if I cared. The two females that were with him just looked on. The mare was by his side the whole time they were escorting the guy away and the dragoness, well she gave me a wink and left to catch up with her buddies. I didn’t know how to respond.

Right at this very moment, the girls are scolding me for not keeping in touch with them, via magically sending letters to them. I told them that it was getting busy around the castle, because of new recruits coming in to become a Solar Guard or Lunar Guard. They soon calmed down with the scolding and understood why. They were just worried that I had forgotten about them. That in turn made me smile at how soft and caring these girls are. Rose seen my smile twice now, which surprised her. She started to get all over me, telling me that I should smile more cause it makes me look ten times hotter. I just ignored her as usual.

Now, on to the question that you guys are thinking, how did I meet the main six? That’s not the question you guys were thinking about? Hmm.

Anyways, how I met the main six. It’s actually a long story on how I met them, so I’ll make the story quick and short.

It was a couple of months into the time I appeared into Equestria. I was getting use to living at Canterlot and getting use to my new body. When I arrived to Equestria, my body magically changed to live here. Though, I kept some traits from my human body, like my canines, scars, and tattoos. Also, some of my stuff that I had on me came with me too. I had my gear that I had from my marine days, my iPhone, and my wallet. Damn, losing focus! Back to the main topic.

I was getting use to the living in Equestria and serving under the princesses. They had given me a task to open up with others, and to rid of the ache within me, which was kind of hard due to the situation I and Celestia went through.

*sigh*

That’s another story for another time. Again, back to the main topic. Anyways, they assigned me to go to Ponyville and to choose someone to go with me. Guess who I chose? Yeah, that damn pervy crazed mare, Rose. I don’t regret choosing her though, because she’s a great asset to me. Also, I feel a lot closer to her. Not as in close as in relationship close, more like... close friends. Rose, the girls, and Luna have been the only ones I can really open up to. When it comes to other people—er... ponies, it’s kind of hard due to the backstabbing and mistrusting people I’ve met throughout my life. I’ve only trusted them, because they were the most impact in my life here. They’ve helped me out when no one else wouldn’t. They even dealt with my rudeness and bullshit I put them through. They have my respect.

That’s my task. To open up more to others. Honestly, this is going to be a bitch cause of old habits. Gotta try though, right?

The crew and I arrive at the castle of Twilight’s. When we arrived and got inside I noticed that Fluttershy, the shy one of the six, was being very clingy. The whole walk to the castle she had her arms wrapped around my arm. I asked her what’s wrong, but all she did was let out this meek squeal and hide her blushing face. I asked the girls, but they said it was just Fluttershy being Fluttershy. I went with the answer so I didn’t bother going into it anymore. Rose seeing Fluttershy so close to me started to get grabby again. She started to hold on to my other arm and caress it. I didn’t let her continue, because it started to get on my nerves on how she was touching me. I snap at her like I always do when she does this, and like on the train, she pouts like a child and crosses her arms.

Once inside we gather around and sit down on some comfy couches. The girls all sit together as I sit one sitter chair. Rose thought it was funny to sit on my lap, but I wasn’t having any of her bullshit. I magically sit her ass on an open sit and tell her to stay. This got the girls to giggle at the angry pouting face of Rose. Then the whole mood changed quickly, which I knew what the girls all wanted to know, so... I prepare myself. I dig through one of the many pockets in my cargo pants and pull out a packet of cigarettes. I tap it on the palm of my hand and out pops out a cigarette stick.

I put it to my mouth and before I can even light it, I get stares of disapproval from the girls, including Rose.

Rainbow Dash, is the first to speak up. “I thought you were quitting?”

And with that, the girls started to tell me how bad it is and all that shit that I know already.

I sigh as a puff of smoke floats around, but camouflages with the air itself after. “Listen girls, I know you don’t it like, but you know why I do it.” The girls then quickly stop their bickering as they remember why I couldn’t stop. I know I told them that I will try and stop, but... I just can’t. I look towards the girls, “Please don’t tell Barb about this. I know she’ll be more on my a-....”

“Yutani!” A loud young voice calls out to me.

Upon hearing that voice, I incinerate the cigarette and use some magic to rid of any oder of smoke. I catch the kid stomping over to me with her fists clenched in anger and her slitted eyes narrowed at me. She gets in front of me and pokes me in the chest with her clawed finger.

“You think you could hide the scent of smoke from me? I smelt it from the moment you lit it!” She exclaims loudly.

A bunch of playful ‘ooo’s’ go around by some of the girls as Barb begins one of her lectures, but of course I stop her before she can start it. “Look kid, I only smoke once a month, and smoking doesn’t-..”

“Don’t give me that crap again about “it doesn’t affect me”. I’ve heard it to many times!” I was about to argue that, but she stops me with a hand in my face. “And it doesn’t matter if you just smoke once a month.”

I groan in annoyance as I rub my hands on my face. I don’t know how I let this fifteen-year-old kid talk me down like this. A snort is heard to the right me. I peek through my fingers to see who it is and it’s not surprising to see Rose trying to hold her laugh in. I know it isn’t everyday that you see a kid talking a grown ass man down about how smoking being bad for your health. I groan even louder as Rose bursts out laughing at the sight of me. She won’t let this down for me and I know it. This gets the other girls to follow a long with her, while Barb has her arms crossed and shakes her head at me.

“See what you have caused kid, now this one over here,” I point at Rose who has tears in her eyes from laughing so hard, “is not going to let it down for me.”

“I don’t care. Maybe it will remind you that smoking is unhealthy, and stop calling me kid! I’m fifteen now!”

“Yeah, yeah.” I finally say.

A few knocks are heard from the door, and the laughing slowly starts to die down. Twilight is the one to get up and heads to the door. “I think that might be the guys!” She says rather excitedly.

“More people.” I say begrudgingly.

“Dude don’t sweat it. They’re our coltfriends, and we want you to meet them.” Rainbow says.

This got my attention rather quickly. My attention shoots straight to Barb, which she doesn’t seem to be looking my way now. Her posture is timid now as she plays with her hair.

“You guys have boyfriends? Why have I not been informed of this earlier?” My questions aren’t answered as Twilight opens the door. Six individuals step into the castle, three I already know and the rest I don’t know. The ones I know that are here are Big Mac, Flash Sentry, and Soarin. The rest of them I’ve seen around town but I don’t know their names.

“Hey, we heard you girls laughing pretty loud from outside the castle. Mind filling... us.....in?” Flash Sentry is the one to notice me as he stares wide eyed at me.

The other guys notice their friend freeze up. “Hey partner, what’s the matter? Can’t contain yer excitement?” A orange colored stallion with a stetson hat says with a chuckle. This gets his other buddies to chuckle with him.

I get up off the couch and stand up to full height. I see Flash start to sweat a little.

“C-C-Captain, sir!” He salutes me. “I didn’t k-know you w-would be here, sir!” Flash stands at attention with a shakey posture.

“Captain?” The other guys say in unison. They then look my way, and to my surprise the new guys I didn’t know give me fearful looks. This gets me a small smirk to appear on my face, but I don’t let the guys see it.

I walk towards the group of stallions and stand right in front of them, towering over them expect for one, Big Mac. Me and him stand at the same height. He doesn’t get intimidated by my approach because he knows me already and how I am.

The two three new guys slowly start to back up behind Big Mac. Then Big Mac a just shakes his head at the fearful stallions.

“So,” I start, “Your the guys dating the girls that I’m suppose be protecting.” Five of the guys start to sweat profoundly. Big Mac is the only one who just watches on with a smile.

I take a step forward towards them and they haul ass back behind the stocky red stallion. I flex out my magic making them even more on edge. By doing that, it made Big Mac a little nervous now. I was about to continue but Apple Jack is the one to interrupt my fun.

“Stop scaryin’ them already! Your going make them wet themselves.” She says with giggle, which gets the other girls to do the same.

I let my magic die down as I return to my seat. “Alright, Alright. Sorry about that you guys, I was just trying to have a little fun.” I say with no emotion and a straight face. “And at ease you two.” I say looking at Soarin and Flash Sentry. “I’m off duty right now so no saluting or getting nervous around me. Just relax and...,” I narrow my eye to them, “don’t do anything to upset these girls. Is that clear?”

The two stand at attention once more and nod their head rapidly. I nod my head as a small smirk adornes my face.

A gentle smack is laid on my leg. “You gotta stop being so mean to them, Yutani. That isn’t cool.” Barb says with a pout on her face.

I put my hands up, “Ok, ok. My bad.” I say with a smile. I look towards the group of guys who still hide behind Big Mac. “My apologies, I was just wanting to see how you guys would react.” I say with a small chuckle.

Then Soarin and Flash shoot me wide eyes of surprise and I think I know why. Soarin is the one to speak out first. “Whoa.” He says at first. “Captain Yutani, this is the first of me seeing you smile, or even laugh for that matter.”

“I’ve seen him smile once before.” Flash Sentry says with a nod. “I’ve heard that it’s super rare to see you smile Cap, but then I heard you stopped after some incident that happened when you were at Canterlot. Why exactly happened sir?” He asks a bit worried.

I let out a tired sigh at question, but I don’t get upset with him for asking. Then I can feel the mood shift suddenly as I feel everyone’s curious eyes on me. I look around and see everyone with not just curiosity but worry as well.

I shake my head at this. “Don’t worry about it. It was awhile back. That’s not relevant ri-...” A soft hand is laid on my shoulder. I look over to see Fluttershy looking up at me with a sad look. “Yutani remember, your here to open up to ponies. Maybe this a good idea to start now.”

She has a point. No point in arguing and making a big scene and hurting Fluttershy’s feelings.

I sigh, which feels like the one-thousandth time this day. I give everyone a hard, which startles them. “What I’m going to tell you now is going to stay in this room and only in this room. Do I make myself clear?”

Everyone nods there head nervously. Twilight then asks a question. “Is it really that bad that you want to stay a secret?”

I give Twilight a side look and respond back. “Yes Twilight, because this involves where I come from and Celestia. I’m pretty sure she told you at one point that we were dating, yes?”

“Yes I’m well aware of that.” She tilts her head in confusion. “But, how does this involve to where you come from?”

“I’m pretty sure she’s told you girls that I’m not from here and how I came to be, am I correct?”

Twilight nods her head, but is still confused. Then she seemed to realize something. I already know what she realized. “Wait a minute, Yutani? Why haven’t I seen you with-...”

“Celestia?” I interrupt her. “Reason is....... is that I broke up with her.” I say with devoid of any emotion.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!..... whoa.” The pegasus stallion with mohawk says. “You actually dated Princess Celestia?”

I respond with a nod of my head.

“And you broke up with her?”

I nod my head again.

He then smacks his forehead. “Dude, are you st-... mph!” Big Mac puts his hand over his mouth to stop him from finishing that sentence. He then shakes his head at him.

I give Big Mac a nod for understanding and he gives me a nod back in reply. I then lay back against the couch.

“I’m pretty sure you all curious about what happened with me and Celestia, correct?”

Everyone nods in unison.

“Alright. This is going to take awhile, so get comfortable.”

The guys take their respective seats next to their significant other. Seeing this pulls at my heart strings, but I don’t let it show.

“I’m going to start from where I originate from, so you all can get a better understanding once I get to the part of me and Celestia.”

Everyone nods again and awaits for me to begin.

I take out something from my back pocket of my pants. In my hands is a wallet, and from in the wallet I take out a picture and set down on the coffee table in front of us.

Everyone eyes the picture and there’s mixed reactions.

Then I begin my long grueling story.
