Ken 10

Ken got up early the next day, and started walking through the halls of canterlot Castle not noticing luna following him. "Wow this place sure has changed, i remember when it used to be so dirty you could see your own footprints."

“Well, that’s mostly because as the times progresses, so did the nobles' snobbish behavior that they practically demanded we do something about it, the result is this beautiful castle and city you now see.” Luna said, waving her hoof at the area around them.

Ken jumped at her sudden voice. "My god! Um you're not gonna be on me like stink on a wort hog will you?"

Luna gave a small laugh in return, “No, I have a few meetings to attend to, unfortunately. Why? Don’t you enjoy my company?”

Ken smiles getting close to her face. "More than anything."

Luna began stammering while a faint blush appeared on her face, she turned her head and cleared her throat. “I hate it when you do that.”

Ken smiles caressing her cheek. "I thought I had to try harder my dear luna?"

“Well, uh, shut up!” Luna said, completely flustered.

Kens face grows closer to lunas, almost like he was gonna kiss her. Unfortunately before their lips could connect Adolfa walked into the room.

“Hey Ken, hurry it up, Sparkle is getting more annoying by the…” she trailed off as she stared at Ken and Luna, both looking like a deer in headlights, Adolfa then turned around and walked out. “Yeah no, I ain’t staying anywhere near that, have fun you two!”

Ken smiles and pecks luna on the cheek, before following Adolfa leaving luna blushing.

“Geez kid, not even a day out of ice and you’re already hitting on a princess!” Adolfa said, slapping his back while laughing. “Didn’t know you had it in ya!!!

Ken blushes and Chuckles. "W-well um i always liked luna before being frozen. And well we always tried to see who could make the other blush more so…"

“Say no more kid, I sorta get it.” Adolfa said, then her cheerful face became sour the moment she saw Twilight walking to them, “Shit. Got those ear plugs?”

"Nah i got something better." Ken smiles as Twilight opens her mouth to speak. "If you cut to the chase and get this exposition moving fast ill let you study the omnitrix."

Twilight immediately closed her mouth, a mad grin on her face, then grabbing the two in her magic she galloped out of the castle. “Whydidn’tyousaythatinthefirstplace?!Let’sgogogogo!!!”

Ken laughs. "However your not allowed to make a copy of it."

That caused her to stop and the two were sent flying before Twilight grabbed them in her magic again, “Shoot!!”

“Hmph, fucking mad scientist.” Ken heard Adolfa mumbled, before she began to wave away the magic holding her. “Just put us down already!! I can walk on my own!”

"Yeah, and i doubt you could even replicate the omnitrix, no offense but equestria isn't tech savvy enough for that yet."

“HAH!! Not Tech savvy enough my ass! They’re light years away from even scratching the surface of the Omnitrix!” Adolfa said.

Ken chuckles looking at Twilight who had a look of determination on her face. "Trust us ms sparkle, it'll save you a lot of time."

“Oh fine, but I’m still studying the Omnitrix later.” Twilight said with a huff, “Come on, the staff of Starswirl the Bearded isn’t gonna find itself!”

“Ugh, and once again, some things should be better off left undiscovered. But hey, that’s just the voice of wisdom everyone is ignoring.” Adolfa said,

"Well… honestly i have my own reasons for looking." Ken said looking at the cave as they approached it. "If you found me in here then there's a possibility… a small one… that some of my friends got frozen and are alive and well…"

He felt someone pat his back and looked to see Adolfa, “I get it kid, your friends are lucky to have someone like you as a friend if you're wanting to free them from ice. And trust me when I say this, I’ll do anything to help you out kid.”

Ken smiles softly. "Thanks."

“No problem kid, now let’s get in that cave, find your friends, and get that stupid staff!” Adolfa shouted out, walking into the cave, Twilight and Ken following behind. After several seconds, the cave started to get darker as they moved away from the entrance.

Ken looked around, hoping to find someone or something familiar.

“Here, let me help you out.” Adolfa summoned a small bit of fire in her hand, lighting up the area. “Glad what I lack in power, I can make up for it in light.” then the ground shook a little, it was faint but everyone definitely felt it. “I suggest we find any of Kens friends quickly, and get the fuck outta here.”

Ken nods, noticing something. "What's this stick?" He asked, picking up the staff of starswirl, not knowing what it was.

Twilight let out a gasp, “That’s the staff of Starswirl the Bearded!! It was right by the entrance the whole time!”

“Excuse me a moment.” Adolfa said, walking away, then the two heard a storm of swearing and shouting, followed by tone hitting stone and many other angry noises. Then Adolfa walked back to them. “I’m better. Glad to see we found that thing. Now let’s find Kens friends, I think the hole was around here somewhere.” Then they felt the ground shake again, this time stronger.

"Uncataloged dna detected." Ken omnitrix beeped, flashing yellow that began glowing brighter and dimmer as Ken moved it. "Um this way then?" He asked, looking confused.

“Wonder what does that yellow light mean?” Twilight asked, a scroll somehow next to her.

Ken chuckles. "Its a sort of notification, it lets me know when theres sentient life near by whose DNA isn't in my omnitrix database. Then it scans it and lets me transform into that species."

“Pretty useful feature if you ask me. I don’t think I-” Ken and Twilight stopped when Adolfa stopped speaking, turning around, they saw that she was...gone.

Ken saw the dirt beneath them was dug up, just as the ground shook more. "I think i know what we're dealing with… Twilight go get Tia and Lulu, we might need their help."

Twilight nodded and teleported away, just as a fist came out the ground from where she just was.Then a giant creature came out, the alien Ken immediately recognized belonged to the Talpaedan species. Except this one had a few bullet dents and some melted metal. “Damn, a second earlier and I would have gotten her. Oh well, the wielder of the Omnitrix and the Pyronite freak will do.” he said, stomping towards Ken.

"Wow you talk a lot better than Andreas did in the show." Ken said propping up the omnitrix. "Now what are you after and where's my friend!"

“Don’t worry kid, you’ll find out soon enough.” the Talpaedan said, then a shrill whistle was heard and the ground under Ken gave way, causing him to fall,

"A tyrannopede as well!?" Ken yelled in annoyance, grabbing onto a rock that was sticking out the side of the wall.

From the other side of the hole, the head of a Tyrannopede came out while letting out a roar. “That’s right kid, the Vauxasaurians predator, better let go unless you want to become food for my pet there.”

Ken smirked and slammed his omnitrix with his head, the watch and base stayed in the same spot but became a silvered gauntlet. His body however grew bulky as hair grew all around him, his eyes becoming clear red slits. "Quick claw!" Ken yelled jumping out of the whole, giving the Talpaedan a good look at him.

“Aw, is the little kitty gonna use his claws?” the Talpaedan laughed.

Ken smirked, suddenly getting in the face of the big yellow morron he was dealing with. Using his speed and momentum to make his punch to the yellow mans face three times as powerful, sending his flying back. "Nope."

Then the Tyrannoped came out of the hole with a roar, and charged at Ken, the Talpaedan charging as well, his hands becoming drills. “I’m gonna turn you into mince meat!!” the Talpaedan shouted, sending his arm at Ken.

Ken smirked as the two approached from both sides. "Too easy" He said before jumping over the yellow alien, causing the two large stupid beings to collide.

The Talpaedan, held his head in pain, “Grr. This is getting me nowhere!” a shrill whistle was heard and the Talpaedan climbed onto the Tyrannoped’s head, both burrowing down into the ground.

Ken glanced around, trying to use his feline hearing to try and pinpoint them.

He ran down a tunnel after hearing something from that direction, and after many twists and turns, along with a few dead ends, he saw a light down a tunnel, running to it, he gasped at what he saw, different creatures such as dragons, ponies and griffons were all in cages, while many aliens walked around, either caging freshly captured beings, or quietting down someone.

Ken glanced around, noticing Adolfa in a cage with fire suppressants pointed at her. Ken backed away and ran for a bit, hiding behind a rock as he transformed back to human, he put his fingers to his chin in thought. "Ok with how many there are the best option would be…"

Ken smiled once his omnitrix turned green again, flipping through his scans he pushed it down transforming into Echo echo.

“INTRUDER!!” Ken heard an alien shout, followed by another.

“Where?!”

“I don’t know! I just saw a flash and that’s it!” the first alien responded.

Ken shook his head, running forwards "looking for me?" He asked in an echoed voice. Once all heads turned to him Ken used Echo echos power to replicate into a small army, and screaming to create a wall around them. It created the perfect distraction for an echo echo copy to free Adolfa.

“K-kid that you?” Adolfa asked, as a blast from the fire suppressants hit her.

"Just relax, i'll get you all out of here." The copy said pulling her out of the suppressants, before turning back to the inhabitants of equestria. Each of the echo echo clones was doing well with distracting the aliens long enough for Ken to free all the equestrians. "All of you get back to the surface, the princesses should be there, ill handle the rest." Ken said placing Adolfa on top of the griffins back.

“No way I’m leaving this fight, I want some payback, besides, the Equestrians ain’t the only beings they locked up. Keep them busy!” Adolfa said, getting off the griffon, and running down another tunnel.

“Don’t let them escape you fools!!” the Talpaedan from before shouted, as two Vaxasaurians charged at Ken, both wielding large hammers.

Three Echo echos made a wall of sound to block the hammers, just as two others scream at two stalactites on the ceiling making them fall onto the two Vaxasaurians. "Get good or go home." Ken laughed at the Talpaedan, before the Echo echos run off.

“Morons!! Must I do everything myself?!” a loud shrill whistle rang out followed by a loud rumbling, then three, including the Talpaedan’s Tyranopeds came out of the walls. “Hunt them down and bring me the arm that bears the Omnitrix!” the pirates and Tyranopeds chased down Ken, each one trying but failing to get him. The Talpaedan hit his head with his palm. “I’m surrounded by idiots.”

"Nah im just not dumb." An echo echo said behind him, just as a tyranoped attacked.

The Echo Echo dodged, causing the Tyranoped to ram into the Talpaedan, sending him flying head first into a wall. “I hate heros.”

"Then maybe you shouldn't try exploiting others for profit!" Multiple echo echos said all around him when he pulled his head out of the wall. "Night night." They said before screaming so loud the whole place shook slightly, causing the Talpaedan to pass out.

“Good work kid, but let me have a turn.” the Echo Echo’s turned and their eyes widened when they saw Adolfa on top of Crabdozer. The beasts blew steam from its nostrils and let out a roar.

Ken smiled as he turned to normal, all the echo echos vanishing as he did. "Go for it!"

Adolfa smiled as the Crabdozer charged, easily tackling the Tyrannopedes and running over any unfortunate pirate to get in its way. Adolfa jumped from the Crabdozers back and a small glow covered her hand as a sword appeared. She then clashed blades with a Opticoid(Eye Guys species)

Ken looked around, noticing nearly all the aliens had been incapacitated. "I wonder if i can call the plumbers…"

“You got their number? And are the plumbers a thing here? If they are, don’t mention me, I’m sure Luna told you I did some bad things in the past, and I don’t want to end up in space prison.” Adolfa said, just as the Crabdozaer ran to her and nuzzled her.

"Fair point, but what else can we do?" Ken asked. "If we leave these dummies here they'll just keep doing their own shit."

“True, hmmmm.” Adolfa held her chin in thought, then snapped her fingers, “Remember how I said I don’t use magic?”

"Yeah?" He said raising an eyebrow.

“Well I’m gonna break my own rule just this once and send them to the Null Void, course it might take a lot power and I’m a bit rusty with teleportation, so it could be a minute, in the meantime you look around for any clues as to why these guys are here. Maybe grab the Talpaedan and question him.”

Ken nods slowly, going over to the Talpaedan and slapping him awake.

“Huh?! Who, what? Did we win?!” the Talpaedan asks, looking around before he saw the Tyrannopedes and pirates all tied up as Adolfa was drawing something in the ground around them.

"Nope, and now your going to answer some questions." Ken smirked.

“I ain’t answering nothing!!” the Talpaedan said, and began to struggle.

"Dude do you even know proper grammar?" Ken asked shaking his head, and scratching his omnitrix on the Talpaedans' claws to get a scan.

“I don’t care!! I’m not going to talk!! Even if you threaten to feed to that beast,” the Talpaedan jerked his head towards the Crabdozer, who tilted its head in confusion. “I will not talk. So do your worst!!”

“Hey, did he say do your worst? Please say yes.” Adolfa said after finishing the rune, sending the pirates and Tyrannopeds to the Null Void.

"Ok." Ken smirks. "How about i turn into a celestialsapien and turn you into a fly?"

If it was even possible, the Talpaedans face turned ghost white. “Um, w-what questions did you have again?”

Ken heard Adolfa laughing, “Nice work Ken, no one fucks with those guys!!”

"Why are you potching sentient creatures from this planet?" Ken asked.

“We were hired to, well, we were gonna do it anyways and sell them to scientists and stuff, but this guy said why start there when we can think bigger, his plan, an army made from the Dna of the creatures of this planet, Talpaedans with dragon hide, pyronites with magic. You know, Omnitrix level stuff.”

“Who’s the guy that hired you?”

“He said his name was-” the Talpaedan suddenly went wide eyed as a field of energy surrounded him, then he was gone.

Ken looked to Adolfa. "I'm assuming you didn't do that? Also i'm assuming it could be Animo."

“Sounds like the only explanation, after all he does like messing with DNA so he can Ben 10.” Adolfa said, walking over to him, “So looks like we have to deal with Animo as well.”

"Yup, yay." Ken muttered just before Celestia, Twilight and a worried looking luna teleported to them. Luna quickly hugs Ken after looking relieved.

“I’m so glad you are safe!! When Twilight told us how you were about to get in a fight, I immediately put on my armor! Ready to save you if you needed it.” Luna said.

Ken blushes and smiles. "Hey i may be over two thousand years old now -technically- but im still able to fight."

“Damn right, he managed to take down these pirates like they were nothing, all I did was get captured and release my natural predator.” Adolfa said, pointing at the Crabdozer as it knocked down a cage. “This kid is a better fighter than me, and I’m glad for that.”

Ken rubs the back of his head. "I mean I just copied some of the stuff Ben did in the show."

“Heh, I know, if you want I can help train you, if you want though.” Adolfa said, “Hell, we can even have Luna and Celestia help, they’ve been around for a long time, they’re sure to see some new fighting style.”

Luna looks excited at the idea, making ken chuckle. "Awesome."

“Alright then, first let’s rest up, then we’ll train. But I have to figure out what to do with that thing.” Adolfa pointed a thumb over to the Crabdozer, which just decided to nuzzle her.“Any ideas? Cause I am a bit afraid I’m gonna end up in this things stomach. And why is it so friendly towards me?!”

"Maybe because you freed it?" Ken suggested. "Or maybe its a baby and it imprinted on you."

Adolfa looked at the Crabdozer, it did seem a little smaller than most Crabdozers that tried to eat her, she then looked back at Ken, “Hmmm, maybe you’re right about the whole baby thing. I don’t know, let’s give it a bit then I’ll decide on this. Anyway, let’s get the fuck outta here, this place is giving me the creeps.”

Ken nods as they head out of the cave. "Tomorrow im gonna come back and look around a bit more."

“Look for your friends or look for other clues?” Twilight asked.

"Both." Ken said, stretching a bit, yawning.

“Think you can use some help? If not I could find somewhere to keep this guy for the time being, never thought I live to see the day a Crabdozer becomes friends with its food.”

"That's cool with me." Ken said

“Well then let’s get out of here.” Celestia said, everyone nodded their heads and a bright flash later, everyone was at the castle gardens, “The Crabdozer will stay here for the time being.”

“That’s cool with me. How about you big guy?” Adolfa asked the Crabdozer, you seemed content lying in the sun by a pond. “Guess that’s a yes.”

“Then let us head inside and get something to eat.” Luna said.

Ken's stomach growls really loudly. "I haven't eaten in a thousand years… I apologize for what you're gonna see."

Luna and Celestia chuckled at this, “It is fine Ken, we understand.”

Adolfa gave Ken a slap on the back. “Yeah kid! It's fine, hell, I would be extremely hungry if I was trapped in ice for thousands of years.”

Ken laughs. "Don't let Rarity near me when i eat though."

“HAH!! She will fret over your clothes and your manners. Hell, she even complained about me a few times.” Adolfa mumbled the last part to herself.

Ken laughs as Twilight looked to them. "Speaking of which, im going to head home and let the others know what's happened."

Ken nods slowly. "Pinkie party can't wait."

“Please don’t mention her, she literally threw me a party when I told her specifically not to.” Adolfa said, shaking her head with a groan.

Ken shakes his head when Twilight teleported away again, before his stomach growls again. "Come on, let's go I can't wait to try lunas cooking again." He smirks making luna blush.

“Y-yes, I’ll see if I can still cook, living in a castle does has its downsides.” Luna said, heading towards the kitchen.

Ken chuckles. "This should be fun."

“Heh, never once saw Luna cook, and if you speak so highly of her cooking then I just have to try, unfortunately, I have some other business to deal with, like finding a place for the Crabdozer, a new source of food, go on some jobs to help pay for said food,” Adolfa let out a sigh, “Sometimes the life of a merc is never done. Well, I wish you a good day to you two.” Adolfa then began walking to the exit.

"Are you sure?" Ken asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah I’m sure, not even sure I can eat anyways. Besides, I won’t be gone for long. Have fun.” with that Adolfa was gone.

“It’s her loss on missing out on some great cooking. But something tells me she’ll be back.” Celestia said,

Ken nods Petting the Crabdozer. "Yeah her baby is here."

“Not my baby. Not yet at least.” Adolfa said, walking back, “Forgot it was here, come on, I know a few back alleys where no one will freak out upon seeing you.” Adolfa said to the Crabdozer, who just tilts its head. “Now I’ll see you guys later. Come on little one.” the two left, leaving Ken and Celestia. Then the sound of glass breaking was heard. “Damn it! Now I have to hide that before I get in trouble!”

Ken tries not to laugh.

The same couldn’t be said for Celestia, letting out a small laugh at Adolfas misfortune.

Ken heads into the dinning room

To see a grand display of dishes, ranging from salads to a beautiful cake.

Kens mouth drops open. "Wow."

“I'm glad to see I still got it.” Luna said, walking in the dining room while levitating a plate that had some cooked meat, “We are glad to have that griffon chef around, otherwise I would have lost my stomach cooking this.” she placed the plate of what Ken had to guess, deluxe burgers.

Kem chuckles. "Lulu, I appreciate you trying to accommodate to my needs as a human but I can turn into a pony to eat remember?"

“Oh, I guess it’s been awhile that I forgot about that.”

Ken chuckles, kissing her hoof. "Its ok, ill give them to the chefs."

“I’m sure the chefs would appreciate that Ken.” Luna said, taking a seat. “Now, I believe we have some catching up to do.”

"Yes, so why does tia look so much taller than you?" Ken asked dialing through his omnitrix to find a pony scan.

Both sisters had a sad look on their faces, then Luna spoke. “Shortly after your disappearance, me and my sister became distant, and I was jealous of her, jealous of all the love and attention she got from our subjects, I wanted that too, so one day I refused to lower the moon, causing me to b-become…” Luna had a few tears, showing that the memories were painful.

Ken facepalmed. "Nightmare moon right! Im so sorry lulu.."

“It’s fine, but how did you know?” Luna asked.

Ken sighed. "Well remember when i told you about the ben ten tv show? That my powers are based off of?"

Luna nods. "Yes, how you gained powers from entertainment but it doesn't mean the power isn't real. And just because its entertainment doesn't mean that worlds aren't real."

Ken nods. "It's the same for your world."

Celestia seems to understand. "So our world is a television show in your world as well?"

“Hell yeah.” the three turned their heads and saw Adolfa with dirt covering her along with a few scratches, and appeared to be limping. “You would not believe how popular you guys are. Ow.”

"You alright?" Ken asked raising an eyebrow, throwing the Crabdozer, who was still following her, a hamburger.

It happily munched on it as Adolfa took a seat, “RUle number one when taking care of an infant Crabdozer, never let it meet a pair of Ursa Minors, they wrestling can cause a whole forest to disappear. You would not believe how hard it was to separate the three.”

Ken nods and pets the Crabrawler as it tries to eat more hamburgers from his hand. "Damn this dudes like a puppy."

“If puppies were giant spider-rhino-like creatures the size of a building and could cause massive amounts of damage, then yes. It is like a puppy.” Adfolfa said.

“You should name the little guy.” Luna said, petting the Crabdozer.

"Yeah why not… um…" Ken said, putting a finger to his chin. "I don't know a pun on the fact he's, or she, your predator?"

Adolfa shivered, “Don’t remind me, but hey, it’s not everyday someone has their predator for a companion, anyway I think we should him, er her? You know what, I’m checking the gender later, or maybe, hey kid. That watch got a scanner that can tell us the gender or something?”

Ken shakes his head. "This is the original prototype omnitrix; it only tells me when new dna is nearby and has to touch it to scan it." He told them rubbing the Crabrawlers chin. "Who's a good Crawler?"

The large alien seemed to purr, then yawned as laid down next to Ken and was soon asleep.

Ken chuckles. "I never thought a potential predictor of mine would be cute."

“Eh, the universe is full of surprises. Hell, if time and evolution was right, these guys would one day be sentient like everyone in this room.” Adolfa said.

"Tempted to go into the future with clockwork and scan that." Ken chuckles.

“Hmm, that actually doesn’t sound such a bad idea. Wonder what they’ll look like?”

Ken shrugs and pets the little Crabdozer. "Maybe you can try and train this little fella to talk and think like a sentient being."

“Maybe I will, but for now, let’s eat.” Adolfa said, grabbing a burger and taking a bite.

Ken nods, turning into an alicorn roughly the same size as luna. Having a light blue mane with a dark blue coat like lunas, his horn being long and spiraled with two long wings. "How do i look?" He asked with a smile, making luna blush.

“I-I had forgotten about that form, you still look great.” Luna said,

Celestia smirks nudging luna playfully. "Already crushing on him again sister?"

Luna blushed harder, “S-shut up!”

“HAH!! She totally is!” Adolfa said quietly to Celestia.

Ken smiles, gently using his magic to eat a hayburger. "Just as good as ever lulu." Celestia playfully pokes luna.

"Their great lulu." She giggled.

“Yep, I should come over more often if it means I get to eat something this good.” Adolfa said.

Luna blushes deeper. "T-thank you."

“No problem Luna, I may be a total ass sometimes, but I still respect you two, if only a little. And that’s about as much as you can get from me.” Adolfa said,

Luna and Celestia looked at Ken, thinking if hanging with her is a good idea.

Ken chuckles. "You remind me of my older brother, a complete ass but you care."

“Eh, comes with the job of being a mercenary, sometimes you have to be an ass in order to get some things done, or to get paid cause the employer is being a total asshole after the job is done, but that only happens with nobles.”

Ken nods slowly, eating another hayburger. "I can't believe how good these are, way better than any cheese burger."

“Hell no! You did not just say that! Take that back!” Adolfa said, “But I must agree, Luna does make good burgers.”

Luna blushes again, smiling that Ken thinks her cooking is better than the chefs. Ken eats a apple and smiles, as Twilight walks in with her friends. "Hello, is it ok if we join you?" Twilight asked.

"Of course Twilight, you and your friends are always welcome here." Celestia smiles.

“Oh fuck me, just keep away from me alright? I’m still sore from our last encounter.” Adolfa said, “Freaking rainbow haired….” whatever Adolfa was going to say, she didn’t say it.

Rarity sees Ken as a handsome alicorn and walks over to him.

“I believe we haven’t met, Rarity darling.” Rarity held her hoof out.

Ken shakes her hoof. "Greetings miss Rarity."

“My, such great manners you have, unlike someone.” Rarity said, giving a look to Adolfa, who gave the bird in response.

Luna glared a little at Rarity, who sits right next to Ken making celestia giggle. "Jealous sister?"

“No! I-I am not jealous, she is just trying to be friendly, that’s all.” Luna said.

“She totally is.” Adolfa whispered to Celestia.

Ken uses his magic to give all of the main six some hayburgers. "Oh t-thank you." Fluttershy said quietly.

"Your welcome." Ken smiled gently sipping from a teacup.

“You know, I think some stories should be told to, you know break the ice. Or in this case ease the tension in the room.” Adolfa gave a glare and Rainbow returned it with her own.

"Sure, how about i tell everyone how i got to Equestria?" Ken asked smiling, confusing main six sans Twilight.

"Um pardon me sugar cube but you're a pony weren't you born here?" Applejack asked raising an eyebrow.

Ken chuckles. "Actually i can transform, this isn't what i normally look like. I just turned into a pony to eat to make it easier for everyone."

Rainbow raised a glaring eyebrow at him. “So you’re like her then?”

“Fuck you. Ken isn’t like me, he is a better being than me.”

Ken chuckles. "Although i can turn into her species… and ill show you." He smiled as he returned to his human form. "This is what i normally look like."

“Why, you look a little young, how old are you?” Applejack asked.

"Well that's a bit of a loaded question. You see before i came to equestria i was thirty four, but then i got my omnitrix and became i can only guess twelveish. But then i got trapped in ice for nearly two thousand years, seeing as me, Tia. and lulu were friends when they were kids, so now i guess im two thousand and twelve?"

“Dang, that’s a long time. And you said you were trapped in ice? How did that happen?”

Ken sighs and leans back, his eyes glancing up at the Ceiling. "Well… i had just left the palace to visit some friends. A nice Tabaxi family that had taken me in, they were merchants back then and lived where ponyville is now. Well, it was winter and a malfunction up in the weather agency made it so a huge downpour of rain came down right as a cold chill came through. Ome cold enough to freeze plants solid. I went to warn them thinking my pyronite transformation would be enough to keep my dry and that i could get back before the rain… i didn't...and…" Luna wrapped her wings around Ken, nuzzling his neck.

"Dang, I heard about that malfunction, the boss at the weather agency said it nearly went through equestria into an ice age." Rainbow said, her usual bravado gone because of the story.

Celestia nods. "Yes, it was hard on us all…" she said, glancing at luna, who was shaking with Ken in her wings.

“I can relate.” Adolfa said, more to herself. “Hey, don’’t feel bad kid, if we found you in ice, than surely your friends could be alright as well. We just have to get back in those caves and find them.”

"Yeah… but even if we can't, i always have the memory." Ken said, hugging luna back and nuzzling her.

“It’s good to remember loved ones, not only in your memories, but in your heart as well.” Luna said.

Rarity sees how close luna and Ken are and sighs.

"Those two are so happy together." she said.

Ken pulls away from Luna with a small blush. "Thanks lulu."

"No problem Ken, I'm always here for you." Luna said, a faint blush on her face as well.

They hear multiple awes coming from the mane six.

“That’s adorable.” Adolfa said, “If you two want, we could leave you alone. If you want.”

Luna shakes her head. "N-no, I'm sure we can have plenty of alone time tonight."
Ken's face broke into a deep red, his nose bleeding a little at the thought as every mare in the room blushed including some servants.
"What?" Luna asked.

“It’s what you said.” Adolfa pointed out, “Makes some people wonder what you mean by alone time.”

Luna still looked confused, before a look of realization hit her face and she blushed redder than the apples on Applejack flank. "I-i didn't mean that!"

Celestia chuckles teasingly. "Sure you didn't"

“Yeah, we’re sure you didn’t, but you may want to be careful what you say next time.” Adolfa said, taking a sip of a bottle of wine that she seemed to just have.

Pinkie pie giggled. "Does this mean i can throw a baby shower soon?"

Luna blushed deeper as celestia laughed openly for once.

“Okay everyone, leave the two lovebirds alone, even if it is a bit funny seeing them get all flustered.”

Ken takes a sip of his drink, his face still red as he tries and fails to not look at luna.

Adolfa sees this and says, “Relax kid, just because of a little teasing doesn’t you can’t look at her, besides, I think you two would be great together.”

“Yeah, I even agree with her. You two would make the cutest couple ever!!” Pinkie declared happily.

Ken and Luna both blushed deeply, smiling softly at each other.

“Aaaw, see? They are so cute together!”

Ken yawns, standing up and stretching. "I'm gonna take a nap, see everyone later."

“Later kid, sleep well. Come on little one.” Adolfa said, taking a drink of her wine as she and the Crabdozer left, though Adolfa seemed to be stumbling a little.

Ken walked to his room and flopped down onto the bed, sighing happily.

Then he heard knocking from his door.

"Yeah?" He asked.

Luna opened the door, “Hey Ken, how are you doing?”

Ken smiled. "I'm good, just… processing everything still."

“I understand, do you want to talk about it?” Luna asked,

Ken smiles and lets her in. "Actually I'd honestly just like to spend time with you."

“Alright, I’m fine with that.”

Ken closes the door and lays on his bed, Patting it for her to lay down.

She laid next to him, “So, what do you want to talk about?”

Ken smiles and rolls over so he's facing her. "Us."

Luna blushes. "U-us?"

"Yes, us. Lulu when we first met you hated me. But as we got to know each other we both obviously care about each other and I think everyone was right. Will you be my marefriend?" Ken smiles.

Luna blushes and tears up, resting her head on his chest. "Yes i will."

Ken smiles and holds her in his arms.

Luna gave him a hug in return, crying tears of joy. “Ken, I’m so happy.”

"So am i, I'm just sorry i wasn't here for you when you needed me." Ken sighed.

“I-it’s fine Ken, no one could have predicted what happed, all that matters now is that we are together now.”

Ken smiles and kisses her forehead. "Goodnight lulu."

“Goodnight Ken.” Luna said, kissing his cheek, and laying next to him. Ken smiles and falls asleep, wondering just what the future will hold for him and luna.
