It's coming down to time for the funeral ceremony. It's only about three days away.

Me and the girls had drove for a while, and I had decided to just get to Colorado, and we went into Denver. Finding a hotel, we then checked out some of the smaller museums around in Aurora and Denver. We didn't go to any of the large museums, and we went to a Wal-mart to buy some bikinis for the girls, and swim trunks for me.

After that, I took them to Water World. We all had fun for hours, especially the wave pool, which is my favorite. I was able to finally see Fluttershy's and Rainbow Dash's wing tattoos better, as before it had been kind of dark for me to see them, and I hadn't paid much attention.

I thought it was a beautiful tattoo design, and took a picture so they could see. They agreed, and the rest of the day went well.

Getting back to the hotel late, we settled in for the night.

The next morning, we went to some of the other museums, like the National Science Museum. Twilight liked it the most, but the others had their favorite parts. Fluttershy obviously loved the animal exhibits, and the dinosaurs. Applejack liked the animals and the old west exhibits. Rainbow loved the ocean, dinosaur, and space. And Rarity liked all the clothing.

We left the museum early, to head back to the hotel to pack, and I decided to contact my brother, before heading out to the public library.

"Hey Devin, are you already in Cañon City, or are you still in Denver?" I ask after he answers his phone.

"I'm still in Denver, why?"

"I'm on my way over to the library with my girlfriend and her friends. Was wondering if you wanted to meet them?"

"Uh, yeah, sure. It will take me a minute to get there, along with my girlfriend, but we'll meet you there. Hey, what you driving?"

"Toyota Tacoma, turquoise blue, and a Toyota Carolla, done up like Fast and Furious, rally edition." He whistles.

"Ok, see you soon. Bye." I say the same, and hang up. Heading back into the hotel room, I say.

"Hey, what do you all say to meeting my brother Devin?" They look at me, and Pinkie answers.

"That sounds fun. I wonder what type of cake he likes. Hey, do you know his favorite color?" she says. I think for a second, before answering that it might be blue. Fluttershy asks me.

"Are you happy to see him? He is your brother and all." I nod.

"Oh yeah, no, I am happy to see him. For the fact that I haven't seen him in a year, and also to deck him in the face." Rainbow perks up at that.

"Why do you want to punch him in the face? He do something to you?" she asks. I nod.

"Oh yeah, he thought that the last time he was here, he had the right to tell me where the fuck I should go, and he had the right to pick me up by my throat, and slam me into the ground. So, I have some bad blood with him. Now, my brother Cody, he is okay, but it has been about fifteen years since I saw him. I was about ten when he left and was put in foster care for mine and Devin's safety. But I don't care about that anymore. Devin did worse, and I remember that like it was yesterday. Wait, shit, I just realized something. I am going to have to use my left hand again! Shit!" Twilight is about to ask why I have to do that, and then she suddenly remembers. And then, she remembers something else.

"Actually, no you don't. If you remember, isn't one of the bits of our backstory for this world that I am in Harvard for my studying three different forms of science? I could just say that I am studying robotics, and gave you a new arm, that it is a prototype for a new prosthesis. Then, you wont have to worry about having to be one handed." I look at her, walk over, and give her a long, passionate kiss.

"Thank you, Twilight, for remembering that. I love you. Actually, I haven't said this enough, but I love all of you. Thank you for being here for me, and coming with me to my planet." They all come over and give me a hug, and then we finish packing, and load into the cars.

Heading over to the library, I see a red Subaru Forester, I forget which year he had said it was at one point he did talk to us, and my brother was standing outside of it, with his girlfriend on the other side, looking out for us. I pull into the parking spots nearby, as does Applejack, and we all get out the car. As all the girls get out, Devin had started over to the cars. When he see's the girls, he stops for a second, before continuing. Coming over, he starts shaking hands, and they start introducing themselves with their human names.

Pinkie. "Hi, I'm Patricia Alvarez."

Fluttershy. "Hi, I'm Andrea Libman, but you can call me Andrea."

Rainbow. "Hey, hows it going. I'm Ashleigh Ball. And yes, its dyed." She says after seeing him look at her hair.

Twilight. "Hello, my name as Tara Strong. Exchange student."

Rarity. "Hello dears. I'm Tabitha Germain. From England."

And as Applejack gets out of the truck, I walk over to her, give her a hug and loving kiss, and walk her over to see my brother.

"You've meet the other girls, but here's my girlfriend." Applejack sticks her hand out.

"Howdy. My name's Jacqueline Smith. Nice to finally meet my boyfriend's family, even if it's only one brother." I look ahead to see the others entering the building. Pointing, I say.

"Hey, Jackie, there leaving us behind. Let's all head in, and we can talk some more. Though, it's getting to be about 4, so let's not talk to long. Want to reach Canon before tomorrow." As I said that, Devin finally noticed something.

"Hey, wait, how are you pointing with your right hand? Last I saw of your prosthesis, it was steel, not this black, fiberglass type stuff. When did you get this?" He says, coming around me to look at it.

"Twilight. She is studying three sciences, and one of them is robotics. She saw my arm, and decided to try and make a prtototype prosthesis that grafts on to existing nerves, and then links to the brain through it. She could probably tell you more, I am just the test subject." Walking into the library, I saw all of the girls looking around on the first floor. They were spread out, and I asked Applejack to text them and tell them to keep close to us, and keep their phones handy.

And after that, me and Devin talked for hours, as did our girlfriends, catching up on what wee were supposedly doing.

Since it was a Monday, we were there till about seven, an hour before closing. Jackie textted the girls we needed to leave, and they all met us by the doors. Heading out, Devin and I said our goodbyes till tomorrow, and left. This time, Jackie got in the Corolla with me, and Fluttershy drove the truck. We then head on to Canon.

It was a two and a half hour drive, and we somehow had missed the traffic at that time. Making it, we settled into a hotel for the night.

Author's Note

One more chapter to go in this arc. Then, we get back to the regularly scheduled program. Also, I am sorry about how sloppy the last chapter was, and have some plans to go back and polish it better. As well as the end of the chapter before last. It was a bit awkward. Thank you all for reading.

Have a Jivin day!
