Prologue

It happens again, I was again in that desert wasteland, or at least is what I could tell, everything was too blurry and I feel too dizzy, barely I noted that the sky was too dark by the black clouds. It looks like a storm was about to occur as I hear the sound of the thunderclaps, but I also feel like is something more was happening inside of those clouds.

I can't move, almost every part of my body was stunned, I could only move my head slowly as I see the blurry panorama.

It was at that moment when i hear a feminine voice, it looks like it was referring to me as if was calling me, I try to look for the owner of that voice with my sight while moving my head slowly, until finally, that person appears infront of me in the form of a luminous body of a woman with a blinding light as she come closer to me, I can't see her face but I can see her long hair moving with the wind.

When she was closer enough, she start talking to me, sadly I cannot understand what she was saying, but i could tell, by the tone that she has in her voice that she is worried and was trying to stay calm.

Just when she stopped talking, I saw how she extends her arms to my direction as she touch with her hands my face, it was so warm, I feel like some kind of energy was flowing from her to my body.

At that moment, my vision was turning black, I don't know what was happening but I hear that woman voice desperate calling me until finally, I lost consciousness.

Jim's POV

"Jim!" said the voice of a girl that abruptly interrupts my sleep.

With that shout I wake up drowsy and I turn to the open door of my room and spot standing there a little girl of 8 years old, with blue eyes, a slightly toned white skin, long and blond hair tied in a ponytail and now wearing her school uniform, my little sister, Lizzie Summers, now crossing her arms as she look to me.

"Jim wake up, we have to go to the school, mom is preparing our breakfast." said Liz as I look to my clock on the wall and saw that it was almost the 7:30am.

"Yeah yeah I coming Liz." I replied to my sister as I stand off my bed.

"I will wait for you downstairs." said Liz while she left my room.

My name is Jim Summers, i'm 14 years old, blond short hair, blue eyes, pale skin and I'm measuring 1.65 in height. I don't have a great physique, I need to wear glasses and the fact that I like anime and videogames was enough to make me a proper nerd, not that I should care, everyone have their likes. At the present time, I was finishing my sixth grade school, and next year I would be in my first year in the institute.

After getting out of bed I grab my glasses from the table a side of my bed and wearing my blue shorts with a towel in hand, I walk to the bathroom. When I used the toilet I go to the sink and look my body factions in the mirror, I try to flex to show a little muscle, if the mirror could, it would laugh on my face.

When I brush my teeth and wash my face, I come back to my room and walk to the wardrobe to get my uniform, after a few minutes I was ready to go to the school, so I go downstairs to the kitchen where my mom and Liz were waiting for me. When I enter to the kitchen my mom was already serving the breakfast to my sister on the table and in my respective place in the table.

My mother, Martha Summers, was a woman that was reaching to her forty years, my sister and I share our factions with her, she was married with my father, John Summers who I supposed already have leave to his work.

"Good morning honey, did you sleep well?" said my mother with warming smile.

"Yes more or less, until a certain dwarf came to wake me up." I replied, teasing Liz a bit.

"Hey! I'm not to blame for having such a lazy brother, and I'm not that small either." Liz replied annoyed as she continues to eat her food and I let out a slight laugh in response.

After this I take my place in the table as I start eating my breakfast with my little sister a side of me, when we finish, we go and take our backpacks so we could go to school and when we where in the front door, our mom was there with us to give us our respective farewell.

"Well kids, I hope you do well today in school, Liz behave with your classmates and teachers ok?" said my mother lecturing Liz.

"Yes mom." my sister replied.

"Jim, are you carrying the umbrella? Last night's news announced that today's weather would be rainy." my mother said.

"Please mom are you going to believe that?" I replied skeptical.

"It is better to be forewarned than to be sorry..." my mother said as she turns behind the door and takes an umbrella which she hands it to me. "Here, be careful on the way back and take care of your sister." my mother told me.

"Don't worry, I will no let that something happen to Liz." I replied to my mother

Mom nods with a smile as she hugs Liz and then she come to me and give a hug too, after that my sister and I said goodbye to our mother and we left together for the institute, we only had to cross a couple of blocks to get to the front doors of the school so we almost always arrived early around 8:30 am, my sister Liz was in the 3rd grade while I was in the 6th grade and we only saw each other at lunchtime when we had to go home.

As we enter, we separated, while Liz go to her classroom I went to mine, I met my friends who I greeted and together with my classmates we waited until the teacher arrived in the classroom and began to give his class of the day, while the time passed.

The hours passed and my classes with my teachers ended, so I said goodbye to my friends as I was about to meet Liz at the entrance of the school building. When I was out, I could see my sister chatting with her friends, when I was approaching to her I hear a loud thunder that stopped my walk, to which when I looked up at the sky I noticed that it was getting cloudy, it seems that soon a heavy rain will fall.

"I think I owe Mom an apology about the weather news." I thought as I looked at the panorama in the sky.

While I was watching how the day was turning, my sister left her friends and approached to me, when we got together we left the institute towards home, we tried to speed up the pace but we got distracted when we passed a small candy shop and bought some goodies for the road. When we got out of the shop the rain shows up so I took out the umbrella and we continued our way while listening to the lightnings, Liz then began to hum the song of her favorite show calling my attention.

"I can't believe you still like that show." I told her as we walked.

"And what if I like it? It has good stories." Liz replied while she ate her candy.

"If a pony tv show for little girls has good stories, then let me be struck by lightning if it's true." I said skeptical, teasing Liz a bit about it.

My little pony friendship is magic, it is strange that a show that was for a children's audience, mainly for girls, has been so successful. In general it never draw my attention to the contrary of my sister, she once force me to watch the first episodes but it never managed to catch me, not that I hate it either since I was more of watching anime, it just wasn't my thing.

"Seriously Jim, you should give it a chance." Liz says with me.

"I've already done it, but you see, I'm too much for that show." I said being somewhat arrogant while smiling.

"Yeah, too dumb to understand it." Liz replies making me laugh with her answer.

After saying this, we began to cross the street taking advantage of the fact that there were no cars nearby, but when we were halfway to the sidewalk a strange event stopped us suddenly that made our blood run cold, a lightning bolt had fallen right infront of us stopping our steps making Liz scream in fear.

"Jim!" Liz exclaims clinging to me.

"Is ok, it's fine!..." I exclaimed, surprised and nervous as I took Liz between my arms, from the surprise we had I threw the umbrella to the ground "It was only a thunder that fell infront of us, a coincidence in a thousand-" I was interrupted when another bolt of lightning struck behind us.

"Jim what's happening?" Liz said, scared to death shaking as she hug me tight.

"I don't know but don't get away from me." I said while holding my sister tight, I don't know what was happening but I won't let something happen to Liz.

The thunders began to fall around us, when we moved slowly to the opposite side from where it had fallen, almost instantly another thunder fell in our path stopping us, it was too many coincidences, it was as if a strange supernatural force tried to harm us, for the most bizarre that it sounded, it was what seemed to be.

It was there that I sensed it and instinctively held my sister tightly, positioning my body on her to protect her as a few seconds passed, a strong lightning fell on us without any escape.

"Li...Lizzie." I thought about her until my mind went dark losing consciousness.

I don't know how much time has passed but I was finally regaining consciousness, I have no idea what happened but apparently I survived that thunder. I felt strange, my body seemed to be lying on a cold surface, I thought that I should be in a hospital room being cared for, therefore I would expect to be on a comfortable gurney, not lying on a cold and hard surface.

Then I tried to open my eyes and my vision was at first a little blurry, but after a few moments my vision cleared and I found myself in front of me with a starry night sky, I had never seen a night like this with such a clear sky. It was strange , I could see much better without my glasses on, something that I noted in my vision was some trees around me and I could hear the crickets chirping.

I did not take too long to take the initiative to get up and it was a that moment when I noticed that something was wrong with me, the first thing that i noted was that when I sat down, my head rose to the branches of the trees, while I was still in that position.

"What the hell...Ahhh!" I yelled in surprise when I saw my arm.

My arm, it was no longer of a human, now it was an arm of great proportion, with a dark purple tone of skin that go to the end of my now abnormal fingers, I observed the rest of my body and noticed that now it was totally purple and a green stripe ran from my neck to my crotch, I could also see how now I was wearing some kind of allerquin collar with same color of my skin on my neck, even when I look down to my legs to my feet now they seemed more like paws. I cannot believe what was happening to me, then I saw around me in more detail and noticed that I was now near to a 'little' river when I hear the water current.

When I start walking my steps rumble a little, it seems that I am not only big but I also have a heavy body, when I got closer to the river I crouched down, so I could see my face in the water's reflection, and I saw yellow eyes, huge ears and even 3 small horns sticking out of my forehead.

"Cherubimon vice...how come I-" I tried to said but I stopped suddenly when I heard my voice, it was different and it sounded with a distorted creepy tone.

Why I had become the infamous fallen angel of the digital world? I remembered it when I saw the Digimon frountier series, maybe this was just a dream which makes a lot of sense with what is happening to me, now I would probably be in the hospital being treated while I was living this dream.

"If it must be that, I'm just dreaming that I am evil digimon and for sure when I wake up I will find myself in a hospital room with my family there with me and-" I said to myself to calm down but I stopped when I remembered a small but very important detail "LIZ!" I exclaimed worried.

The very thought of my little sister gave me adrenaline and I quickly got up and start looking around for Liz. When I calm down a bit I let out a slight laugh, there is no way that Liz can be here in my dream with me, so I decide to sit on the floor for a while and ponder the dilemma of my subconscious and what should I do now.

It was at that moment that I heard a loud scream that altered my senses, the sound was heard 5 meters at the east of my position. I don't know what was happening but since this was my dream I could do whatever I wanted and that scream caught my curiosity, so I got up from the ground and began to walk upright and slowly only so that my steps were not able to hear as I was walking in the direction from which that scream came.

The closer I got the closer I could hear other sounds, growls and barks, were there dogs in this forest? Upon arriving at the site I moved the branch of a tree to be able to see better from my position, my eyes then found an incredible scene, there was a pack of 8 wolves made of wood and oak surrounding in a large rock with no escape a scared Salamon? Is there another digimon besides me? Well it's my dream, the truth is I shouldn't be surprise to see another digimon like me, but this situation...Isn't it too cliché?

Judging by how the Salamon looked, he has been running away from these strange wolves for a while, I can see bruises and slight injuries on his body, he seems to have made a great effort in trying to avoid his pursuers. Then a thought come to my mind: 'Well it's my dream, why I shouldn't be the hero?' as I watch the wolves, even if they are made of wood, I don't think they can rival a being 4 times bigger than a bear.

Determined, I made my way through the trees with my arms in front, separating them and thus knocking down a couple of trees to the ground with a little of my strenght as if was nothing, thus attracting the attention of the presents, the pack of the wood wolves looked at me including the little Salamon who now had stopped shaking and now was looking to me surprised and inherent. The wolves instead began to growl and bark at me in a threatening way as they began to surround me forgetting about their prey for that moment, it seems that I am not so intimidating enough for them, strangely I don't felt the least bit worried, despite the fact that they were a numerical majority against me, something told me that I could finish them all as if they were nothing to me.

The wolves then, when they saw that I did not retreat or was unfazed by their threats, they took the initiative and 3 wolves attacked me from my left side, I in response moved my left arm and gave them a strong scourge in that direction and hit my attackers making them fall rolling against the ground.

My attackers seeing this response from me and instead of retreating due to the disadvantage of physical strength, they continued with their attack, this time, 4 of them rushed against me directly attacking from the front, I decided to counter by leaning moving my right arm while forming a fist and I ended up hitting 3 of the wolves causing them to shoot out with the force of the impact, one of them collided with a tree. However the last wolf that managed to dodge my attack, jumped on my arm using it as support and jumped against my face, but I was more agile than the wolf and I caught it with my left arm with force and then threw him against a tree with such strenght that cracks formed in the wood of that tree.

But when I was watching in the direction of the wolf that I just threw, I let my guard down for a few moments and the last remaining wolf managed to jump against me before I could get up and lunged attacking and biting my face.

"How dare you!" I thought angrily as I growled.

I moved my right arm and with my hand I captured the wolf that was biting me and I held it tightly while struggling in a futile attempt to get free, I nevertheless saw the captured wolf in my hand to which shortly after I began to apply more force and I listened to the cry of the creature as if it were begging for its life, to which in response a grimace appeared on my face seeing how its life escaped in my grip, to which I finally crushed it in my hand destroying the creature into pieces. I don't know why but what I had done felt very good, I had never felt like this in my life.

The wolves that had gotten up, when they saw this did not think twice and retreating terrified from the place, they knew that the things would not end well if they continued fighting with me, leaving me and the Salamon alone. And talking about the little thing who I had saved from those strange wolves, when I turn back to him now he was in a fetal position on the ground covering his face, trembling with fear while sobbing, it seems that I did not make a good impression as his savior. I decided then to approach and extending my arm and caught the scared Salamon in my right palm and moving him closer to my face, I could see in more detail his body which had several bruises, it seemed to have a hard time fleeing from those wolves, it was there that when we saw face to face and he was looking me with an expression dead of fear.

"Do-don't hurt me!" exclaimed the Salamon through tears, seeing me while trembling.

Seeing me so close, the body of the Salamon reacted almost instantly by wetting my palm, I was a bit irritated by that but I remained serene, something that at least I could know is that the Salamon was not a he, but a she, her voice was of a slightly squeaky girl, I thought that the digimons were not ruled by gender, doesn't seems to be the case here, I still haven't confirm mine, I hope that Jim Jr hasn't abandoned me, after that thought Salamon began to beg while crying.

"Please…someone save me…Mom, Dad…Jim!" exclaimed the Salamon continuing her crying covering her face with her arms.

"What?!" I exclaimed surprised and shocked when I heard that last word, it couldn't be true but i have to ask. "Liz, is that you?"

"Eh?" Said the Salamon, turning to see me. "H-how do you know my name?" she asked still scared.

"Liz is me, Jim." I replied.

"Jim? Is it really you?" Liz asked doubtfully, I don't blame her, which I brought her closer to my face.

"I promised to mom, remember? That I wouldn't let that something bad happen to you, I said it this morning before we went to school, remember?" I said to Liz as her eyes begin to fill with more tears.

"Jim!" Liz exclaims as she approaches to my face while spreading her arms and begins to hug me, her face sprouting with mine. "I was so scared!" Liz said crying while tears of my own began to flow out from my eyes.

"Is ok, I'm here now, I won't let anything bad happen to you, okay?" I said trying to calm her down.

After this reunion, Liz was inconsolable for more than an hour, she did not want to leave my side or even lower her to the ground, it was as if we had returned to the time when she was younger, so I decided to leave her to rest on my head between my horns, so after a walk we returned to the river from before, I needed to wash my right hand for obvious reasons.

"Sorry for get your hand dirty Jim." Liz said embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." I replied saying this to make her feel better while I was scrubbing my hand in the water. "More importantly, are you okay? Do the blows you suffered still hurt?" I said worried.

"They still hurt a bit and I'm very tired" Liz replies.

"I'll see what I can do for you, by the way Liz, how did you end up being chased by those things from before?" I asked curious.

"Well...when that lightning struck us, I woke up looking like this on a tree top, then I tried to go down but with these strange legs it was very difficult for me and I almost fell. When I got down to the ground I tried to see where I was, it was there that those timberwolves appeared and they chase me through the forest, then you appeared and saved me…thank you Jim." Liz said smiling.

"Don't worry, what are older brothers for?" I said, laughing a little as i continued. "Did you say timberwolves? Is that their names? How do you know that?" ask curious.

"They appear on the show of my little pony." Liz replied, getting me a little upset.

"Wait, you said my little pony? You are not telling me that we are now in the world of that little girls show right?" I said trying to joke a bit.

"Oh Jim, if we're in Equestria now, can we go to meet Twilight and the other ponies? please say yes please?" Liz said excitedly while rubbing my horns.

"Oh please? Really?" I thought a little irritated about it.

After this I have realized many things since I woke up, first that I was no longer human but a quite powerful dark digimon, then that I was able to meet my little sister again and that she was also a digimon like me. However, I hope that this is not the world of that little girls show that Liz likes, because something quite shocking that I discovered when I saved Liz from those strange wolves is that I felt a little pain when one of those critters bit me. It is assumed that in dreams you do not feel pain so it means that all of this is that we experienced is real, I don't know what Liz is thinking at this moment, but there's something that I am sure about: I will protect my sister, and I will not let that anything or anyone hurt a single hair of her...fur, not matter what it costs me or what could happen we will return to our home with our parents safe and sound.

Chapter 2: The encounter

Sweet apple acres farm

Applejack's POV

I stood there stunned with my family around while we still look down to the huge footprints on the ground. What could let such marks like those? A dragon? No that can't be, If it was a dragon we would have woke up with the rumbles that it could cause, and the footprints doesn't look like it belong to a dragon, they look more like paws, but what creature could done something like this? One thing that I'm sure about it, is that is pretty strong to tear those apple trees, there wasn't even trace of the roots in the holes.

"Sis what should we do?" said my little sister looking sad.

"I don't know, but I think I will go to visit Fluttershy, she may know what kind of animal is this..." I replied to Applebloom, then I look to the rest of my family. "For now we have to cover this before the rest of the family come for the Summer sun celebration." I said to them.

"Good said Applejack...* said my grandmother as she turn to my brother. "Big mac, go and get the tools, while Applebloom and I go for the apple tree seeds." Told Granny Smith to Big Mac.

"Eeyup." replied Bic Mac nodding.

"But what happens if whatever who took our trees comes back?" Applebloom asked me concerned, that question caught me off of guard.

"Well...Don't worry we will see what we can do, I go to Fluttershy's home, she may could help us in this issue, meanwhile you stay here and help Granny and Mac ok? I will be back soon. " I replied to my sister trying to reassure her.

Applebloom nod to me as she smile, trusting my words hoping a solution for this problem, as I do myself. After this I told my family to don't cover the footprints yet If I bring Fluttershy to see them, then I start to trot my way to Fluttershy's cottage I just hope that she doesn't have something to do today, while I was on my jorney to my friend's home, I noted on the ground the same footprints of the creature that had invaded to the farm.

Determinated, I follow the the direction where this creature has come from and I end up passing the crossroad to Ponyville. It seems that this thing has stopped infront of the town but didn't go any closer to it, I just hope that this issue don't go to the worst and we will forced to cancel the summer sun celebration, just to defend ourselves from this creature.

At this moment, I saw that the footprints were coming from outside of Ponyville. Maybe it really comes from the Everfree forest? Yeah it could be possible, something so big it has to be from that place, as I continue for a while I pass away the Evefree entrance and look that those footprints effectively were coming of that forest, but, I stood frozen when I saw that this thing has go to the same direction where I was going.

"Fluttershy!!!" I exclaim preoccupied by the security of my friend as I start to run to her cottage.

The sole idea of my innocent friend got attacked by this thing give me enough adrenaline to go more faster. By the time that I was reaching to her place, I got a relief when I saw that her cottage was intact, when I pass the little bridge to her home I quickly go in front of her door and knock it a few times, at this moment I was tired and panting while I wait for her, then I saw the door knob moving and a few seconds later the door was opening.

"Fluttershy thanks to Celestia that nothing happento...Aaaah!" I exclaim when I saw who welcoming me at the door, a big bear.

The bear just stood there looking me curious for a few moments and I didn't say anything neither, just to not alert this beast's animal instints. Just at that moment we both hear a voice from inside the cottage.

"Is everything ok Harry?" ask the voice of my friend Fluttershy calling from the inside of her home, by hearing her voice I left out a sigh of relief, knowing that she was safe.

"Fluttershy is me Applejack!" I shout from the outside of her home, a few moments later the bear go inside the cottage as my friend comes out.

"Good morning Applejack, what brings you here so early? Is everything ok?" ask fluttershy with her warm smile.

"Good morning to you too...Er, why do you had a bear in your house?" I ask curious, know that she take care a lot of animals but this is the first time that I saw her with a bear.

"Oh well, Harry come to my home last night, the poor guy was trembling of fear, even I had to sleep at his side to calm him, but he doesn't want to tell me what happen or even leave my house. I never had see him like this, I'm really worried about him. " said Fluttershy concerned looking back to the inside of her home where the bear was.

"That's too suspicious." I thought, thinking about what happened in the farm and the bear friend of Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy, I come to your home this early because something bad happened at the farm last night." I told to my friend.

"Oh my, is everypony ok at your home?" said Fluttershy concerned about the well of my family at the farm, I deeply thank her for that.

"No everypony is ok, but, something had...Stole some trees in the farm." I told to Fluttershy, even for me is hard to tell that something like that could occur, but the reality is different.

"What? Sorry Applejack did you said that something stoled some trees in your farm? You are reffering to the apples right?" said Fluttershy as I look to her expression, it was something hard to believe I know and I don't blame her either.

"No Fluttershy, the entire apple trees not even the roots were left in the ground, it really concern me and my family." I said to my friend.

"I see, but do you have any idea of what it was? It could help us to see how it's behaviors." said Fluttershy.

"Well now that you talk about that...Follow me, you have to see this." I told to my friend.

Fluttershy was a little unsure for what I have said to her as we both left the front of her cottage and walk to the road. Then I show to Fluttershy the marks of the footprints on the ground, when I look to her face she was more stunned and surprised than my family and me back at the farm.

"So, do you believe me now?..." I said this seeing to Fluttershy's face still looking down to the ground who only nod slowly. "Fluttershy, what do you think what could left such marks?" I ask to my friend who turn back to me.

"Applejack, I don't know If you gonna believe this but, the thing that go to your farm is...A rabbit." said Fluttershy trying to stay calm.

"What?!" I exclaim surprise. "Fluttershy I know how a rabbit looks, but this is not a rabbit." I said pointing my hoof to the footprints.

"I know but I live with my bunny Angel and this marks are very similars to the ones that he can make with it's paws, this footprints were made by rabbit's paws, only that these are..." said Fluttershy looking back to the ground. "huge." said my friend.

"Huge no, these are gigantic in comparation with a normal rabbit. Fluttershy what we could do? You see where this thing had go by looking to the direction of the footprints right?" I said to Fluttershy who in response nod.

"To the forest outside Ponyvi-" Fluttershy stopped when she realised what this mean. "Oh gosh! Applejack what I going to do? My little friends, they are not safe in the woods with that thing out there, and what If it comes to my cottage?" said Fluttershy worried, scared and hyperventilating, I come closer to her and put my arm on her back rubbing her slowly to help her relax a bit.

"Calm down Fluttershy, let's just think in what we know about this thing ok? Then at least we could come with a idea in how to deal with it." I said trying to reassure her.

"You are right Applejack ..." said Fluttershy recovering composure. "Well what I know by looking at the stride of this thing is that is bipedal." said Fluttershy looking down to the footprints.

"A giant rabbit that walk in two legs and eat apple trees." I said trying to sound convincing.

"Any other thing that you would know Applejack?" ask Fluttershy to me.

"Well for what it looks like, it comes from the Everfree forest, I saw the footprints coming of that place as they go to my farm and go pass this way to the woods." I told to Fluttershy.

"Wait, this thing didn't go closer to your home?" ask Fluttershy to me.

"Now that you said that, there was not footprints closer to my home, that thing don't even try to destroy the fence and before I come here, there was footprints who stops far from Ponyville too, don't you think that this thing could be avoiding ponies?" I ask to my friend who look back to the way to her cottage.

"It does seem to be that way, there was not footprints closer to my home either, If that's the case there could be two reasons why it do that..." said Fluttershy looking back to me. "One: It could be scared of ponies." said Fluttershy speculating.

"And two?" I ask wondering what could say Fluttershy.

"That thing could be very smart, and don't want to call attention." said Fluttershy.

"What?" I ask confused.

"A normal animal doesn't act in that way, It didn't destroy property, steal food and avoid any contact, If this thing comes from the Everfree as you said, is behaving too good to be a normal animal of that forest." explain Fluttershy.

"If that's the case Fluttershy, what can we do about it? The Summer sun celebration will start in two days, everypony is preparing for this day and the supervisor of princess Celestia will come tomorrow, is this thing shows up it will cause a big trouble to anypony." I told to Fluttershy.

"I think we should tell this to the town mayor and share what we know about this thing, maybe we could find a solution to drive away this creature off the town for a good time, that way this thing will left Ponyville on its own will for good." said Fluttershy.

"And I'm will told this to the rest of my relatives, they could help to make the farm secure for a time too..." I said to Fluttershy and I saw her sad and unsure expression on her face. "Fluttershy, we are going to tell this to the rest of our friends too, they may help you." I said to my friend.

"Wha-what do you mean Applejack?" said Fluttershy as she try to hide her face with her hair.

"Look, If I could, I would offer you a place to stay in the farm, but with the family coming today I don't thing I couldn't do it, but, we could ask to our friends for help, I know that they could help you in this." I said with a warm smile to Fluttershy.

"Thank you Applejack." said Fluttershy as she come closer to me extending her arms and hug me and I hugged her back.

After that, Fluttershy and I go to Ponyville so we could disscus this issue with the mayor and find a possible solution with this creature, in that way we could continue with the preparations for the Summer sun celebration. It took us a hour to discuss this with Mayor Mare, but in the end, Fluttershy propused a good idea that everypony could try in the nights to maintain the creature away from the town, Then with that plan in mind, the two of us go to talk to our closest friends: Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, with the five of us reunited, we got to the conclusion that Fluttershy will be staying with Rarity, she doesn't want to go to Cloudsdale with Rainbow Dash because she be too far from Ponyville and Pinkie will be busy in this two days.

With that concluded, I say my goodbyes to my friends and go back to the farm and explain to my family of what we are going to do. After the noon, the rest of my relatives have arrived to the farm and after the greetings we told them about the problem that Ponyville and the outskirts closer to the town had, at first they were atonish by this news, but after a while everypony agreed in help us with this issue.

"Now, we only have to wait and see what could happen tonight." I thought with this plan in our hooves.

Outside Ponyville: Forest

Jim's POV

At the next morning, I was starting to wake up when I noted the light of the morning enter to my 'room', when I open my eyes slowly still feeling sleepy as usually, I let out a yawn before I look with more detail my 'bedroom'. Just then I saw the stone ceiling instead my room's ceiling, I was surprise by this for a moment when I saw my body, but I quickly remember everything that happened yesterday as I got calm, at that moment I saw resting on my belly my little Salamon sister still sleeping under my hand, she looks so cute there in her peaceful sleep, I would let her sleep more but I feel the urge to pee, so I decided to wake her.

"Yeah, It was not a dream." I thought, then I look to my sister who's peaceful sleeping, but it was time to wake her up.

"Liz? wake up, it's time to get up." I said to my sister rubbing her back.

"Nooo...Don't wanna go to school mommy." replied Liz still sleepy as she rub her head in my belly getting more comfy.

"Come on Liz, I have to use the toilet." I said insisting with her.

"Jim?..." she said as she move her head starting to wake up. "What are you doing in my room this earl-" try to say Liz until she look to my face "Ahhh!" scream Liz scared backing up on my belly.

"Hey take it easy Liz, is me, remember what happened yesterday." I said try to calm her down.

"Jim?..." she said recovering her composure as she look her surroundings, then she turn back to me. "It was not a dream?" asked Liz.

"Sadly not, good morning Liz." I said smiling to Liz.

"Good morning to you too Jim...Eh, sorry for screaming." said Liz looking down sad.

"Is ok Liz, is not your fault, is I was in your place I would scream too." I said laughing a bit.

After that I put Liz on the floor, told her to wait me inside the cave while I was going to use the 'toilet'. When I go out the cave, I look around and find some bushes closer to my left, I walk to them and prepare myself to do my 'job', at this moment I noted how 'Jim Jr' was coming out from my crotch, I was happy to know that I still had my male license. After I finished my job in this bushes I walk back to the cave where Liz was waiting for me, I was going to grab her and put her back on my head, but she told that she feel better than yesterday and want to walk for the moment and it was true, I cannot see any bruises in her body, it was her wounds had health while she was sleeping, she then go to some bushes to do her needs and when she finished, she walk to me.

The both of us decide to eat a few apples that was left from the passed night, our rations of apples were running out, soon I would have to find any other source of food for us or I will be obliged to steal more trees from that farm, both Liz and I dislike this idea. Maybe we could try and plant some apple trees here, we still have the apple cores with the seeds in it. saddly that will take time unless we have somekind of magic power that could growth trees.

"We could find the help of a unicorn Jim, they have magic that can help the trees grow." said Liz looking to me.

"Maybe, but we still need to find the way to talk to the ponies without getting them startled when they saw me." I replied to my sister.

"But I may be able to talk to them, I'm harmless and innocent." said my sister confident.

"Too harmless Liz, that's a risk that I wouldn't take." I replied in serious tone.

"But, what's If I was stronger?" asked Liz looking with those sad eyes begging to me.

"Why did you have to become more adorable than when you were human?" I thought trying to look away but it was hard with those puppy eyes of my sister.

"Fine, I will help you in a training so you can defend yourself." I said in my defeat to my little sister.

My sister was jumping in joy for my answer, I told her that it wouldn't be easy, because I only know how exactly were Salamon's techniques but she agreed to do everything in this matter and that's how my day in training my sister begin. First I told her to try the attack Petit punch, which consisted of attacking with her front paws simultaneously, I got down to the ground and put my right arm infront of her so she could use it as a practice target. Liz then start her training as she stood in two legs and charge to me punching my arm with her front paws steadily and she continue like this for a good time.

Liz's POV

I was doing my best, after what Jim told me I was more eager to do this training, being able to defend myself equals to meet a pony. I was punching my big brother arm trying to do this 'Petit punch' as he call it, practicing this as the time passed, I don't know what time was at this point, we don't have a watch with us, but I'm pretty sure of two things, I was getting bored and hungry, meanwhile Jim was more bored than I was by the look on his face, so I decide to stop this.

"Jim, can we stop for now? I'm getting hungry." I ask to my brother.

"Well I'm getting hungry too, the problem is that we are getting out of food." Jim told me.

"Mmmmm..." I was thinking for a moment when I look to the river and got an idea. " I know Jim, let's go fishing." I told to Jim.

"What? Look Liz I would love to eat some meat too but, I don't think that in that river are enough fishes for us." said my brother.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." I said assuring him with a smile while he look me confused.

I know that Jim don't know anything about Equestria unlike me, so I told him to follow the way of this river, if i remember correctly, Ponyville only have one river with two directions, one to the north and the other to the west. Jim put me back on his head to conserve energy as we follow the direction in the river that was going to the town, Jim was concerned for taking this way but I assure him that in this way we shouldn't encounter with any pony.

As we continue thru this forest following the river to the north, we end up entered to the shore of a big lake. This place was closer to Ponyville, I remember it from the chapters in the show were the protagonists come to this shore to have fun, surely we could catch enough fishes. Jim put me down on the ground as he look back to the woods and walk to a 'small' tree, Jim tear it off of the ground and with his hands he take the branches and roots off the tree, and after a few moments, he turned the tree into a wood spear with his bare hands, I didn't know that he was able to do that.

Jim then enter in the lake until the water reach to his knees with his spear in the right hand, he then took position pointing with his left arm to the water. I was curious looking to my brother as he stood there waiting in the water, there was something in his eyes while he was doing this, after a few moments, my brother throw his spear to the lake hitting something, when he go to retreive it, in the tip of his spear was big dead fish in it as he come back to where I was while I was looking him amazed, he then drop the fish to the ground and I walk to it.

"Wow Jim, that was awesome, this fish is even bigger than me..." I said touching the fish with my paw. "Where did you learn to do this?" I asked looking back to him smiling.

"I don't know, it was...If I had done this before." replied my brother looking confused as he look to the spear in his hand.

"Well you were amazing there, If you catch more fishes like that, we won't have to worry about the lunch or even the dinner." I told to my brother with an calm smile and he simplily nod and go back to the water to continue fishing.

The time continue and my brother got to catch enough fishes for the lunch and dinner. He go and grab another tree and with his hands destroy it into pieces and then made with them a bonfire to cook some of the fishes, It was strange, the fishes doesn't have any condiment and still they tasted good, after that Jim put me back on his head and grab the rest of the fishes for tonight's dinner and we go back to our "camp".

Jim told me to continuing practicing the 'Petit punch', this time with a tree while he said that he was going to train too, Jim said that he want to know and learn how to float. That would awesome to see, I wonder If he will fly too, in that way he could give me a ride in the skies.

As the time pass, I was still doing this boring punches to the tree infront of me, I was so bored and tired of punching this stupid tree, why is so hard? But I have to, this is for meet the ponies that I been watching for a long time. Determined with that thought, I feel something in my paws before I charge my attack to the tree, at that moment, my paws move so quick releasing several punches to the trunk of tree causing it to crack with the marks of my paws.

"I made it!" I exclaim excited and try it again in another tree with the same result.

"Jim I finally...Oh." I said to my brother when I look back to him and find that he fell asleep while he was still sitting on the ground.

Jim told me before that he was going to meditate, he said that maybe he could find a way to float by doing this, I never expect that he would end up falling in sleep. I was bored and I had learn how to use the Petit punch, I think I can defend myself for now, so I decided to explore a bit in this forest around our camp, I start walking tru the bushes and looking around the trees, it was a view a lot better than the Everfree.

I saw the birds on the branches chirping and a pair of squirrels that were looking me with curiousity. I lift my paw to them saying hello, but they only look to each other confused, I think they never have see something like me, so I pay no attention to the squirrels and follow my path in this forest, then I encounter a bunch of bushes infront of me and I try harder to go tru them pushing my body in those bushes until I finally go out of them but I end up falling to the ground on my belly making some noise.

"Who's there?" said a familiar female voice as I look up to the owner and she turn to my direction.

"Oh gosh! It can't be...Is her." I thought looking surprised a nervious to certain yellow pegasus mare with a pink mane looking down to me.

"Who are you little one?" ask Fluttershy with curiosity as she walk closer to me.

Author's Note

Another cliffhanger :pinkiehappy:

There's was some ideas that I was having If Liz evolve to adult level around the story, those are:

Gatomon/Tailmon: The typical adult level of Salamon.

Darcmon: The angel digimon that appear in that Digimon Frontier movie.

And...

Nerfertimon: The coolest choice of the three because it can fly, shoots a laser and summons a stone at the enemy and for those who don't know, Armor lvs counts as Adult lv too, probably I will go for this choice.

Anyway I hope that you have enjoyed this chapter and If I made any mistake please let me know about it. :twilightsmile:

Chapter 3: The festival preparations

Ponyville, outskirts forest

Lizzie's POV

I can't believe it, I was just exploring this forest and see if I can have some fun in this world, but I never expect to meet one of my favorite characters of My little pony show. There was something at earth called bronycon, is like somekind of convention for the fans of the show, and for what I had been told from my friend Clare at school that had go to one of those convetions once, that you could have the chance to meet the original voice actors of the show.

"Well beat this, Clare, I'm in front of the real Fluttershy in flesh and bone." I thought still looking to Fluttershy nervous and excited.

"Eh...I...Just." I tried to say something but with emotions that I had, I was too timid to talk properly.

"You can talk?!..." exclaim Fluttershy exalted as she come slowly a little closer to look me better. "And that collar you are wearing...Are you perhaps..." said Fluttershy looking me suspicious as I took a step back, I don't like her tone for a strange reason. "A diamond dog?" said Fluttershy suprising me in the act.

"Ehh...Yes I'm a diamond dog." I said letting out a chuckle, I don't know why I answer with that, maybe I'm too nervous at her presence.

"But Diamonds dogs doesn't live in Appaloosan's Mountains? You are too far away from your home? And you aren't still to young to be alone here?" said Fluttershy now in concerned tone.

"Well I..." I try to say something as I look around when I got a idea. "I'm in a journey with my big brother, around Equestria." I replied to Fluttershy who calm down and look at me with small smile while she walk closer to me.

"I see, I'm Fluttershy by the way." said Fluttershy smiling extending her right hoof to me.

"Lizzie Summers, but you can call me Liz." I replied as put my right paw closer to her hoof touching it.

It was a little weird, it feel like she was giving me a handshake with her hoof, but now I was trying to keep my mind calm, my head was about to explode by knowing that Fluttershy had give me a hand-I mean 'hoofshake'. Then I look up to Fluttershy and she was tall to me, if I could measure me myself, I would say that I was tall as a regular filly from the show.

"So, what are you doing in this forest miss Fluttershy?" I asked polite smiling to her.

"Oh yeah I was-" Fluttershy stop for a moment and look at me with a concerned expression. "Liz, where have you been staying?" Fluttershy asked me preoccupied.

"Well, my big brother and I are camping in this forest, why?" I ask curious.

"You and your brother has to find another place to stay little Liz, this forest is dangerous now, a huge monster have entered in it and I'm trying to get my forest friends to go to my cottage so they could be safe in there." said Fluttershy not only concerned about the safety of her animals friends, she even care my brother and I, she really is the element kindness.

"'A huge monster'? she is doesn't referring to my brother right?[/ i]" I thought about what Fluttershy have told me.

"Don't worry miss Fluttershy, my big brother is strong and if we have to, we will go out this place." I told to Fluttershy reassuring her.

"Still, Liz please take my word and told your brother to find a more safe place for both of you." said Fluttershy looking me concerned, she is very serious about this, even though we just met a few moments ago.

"Ok I will tell him when I go back to our camp, don't worry about it miss Fluttershy." I said to Fluttershy who let out a short sigh in relief and smile back to me.

"Thanks for listening to me Liz." said Fluttershy getting a good mood as she calm down.

"So...You said you were looking for your forest friends?" I said changing the subject.

"Oh yeah, I need to find them before the preparations." said Fluttershy.

"Preparations?" I asked curious.

"At Ponyville, the town closer to this forest, we are going to have there the Summer Sun Celebration, the festival will start in two days and everypony is busy, right now I'm in charge of the music, I will conduct a choir of birds." said Fluttershy to me smiling.

"Summer Sun Celebration? So we are at the beginning of the show? I wonder If is a good idea to do something about of what is coming?" I though pondering of what I should do, I have to talk this with Jim later, maybe he have a better idea of this.

"I see, I would like to go and see that." I said genuinely, seeing Fluttershy's choir of birds will be amazing.

"Why don't you come then? If you want, I could invite you after you and your brother had found a better place to stay." said Fluttershy offering.

"I would love to, but I has to ask my brother first, he is taking care of me right now." I explain to Fluttershy.

"Oh, I see..." replied Fluttershy understanding my situation...I think, she put a sad look on her face while she look to me with pity, I hope that she isn't misunderstanding something. "For now, you should go back to your camp, Liz, don't you want me to accompany you to your camp? You shouldn't walk alone in this forest." Fluttershy asked me offering to me her good will.

"Don't worry miss Fluttershy, our camp is closer from here and you are right, my brother doesn't know that I'm here, I will go back to the camp before he know that I'm not there anymore, still, thank you for your concern." I replied smiling to Fluttershy.

"Ok Liz, well, I will continuing searching for my friends, please, do what I said and talk with your brother about the monster ok? Please be careful." said Fluttershy worried about me.

"Thank you miss Fluttershy, if we can, can we meet again in another time?" I asked to Fluttershy.

"Of course, it was good to meet you Liz, I would like to see again...* said Fluttershy as she turn back and point with her left hoof in the direction in front of her. "If you follow that path thru those trees, you will encounter the road to Ponyville, but before that you will also find my cottage in that way." said Fluttershy showing me the way to her home.

"Alright thank you miss Fluttershy and good luck finding your friends, farewell." I said to Fluttershy as turn a bit from the bushes for were I came from.

"Goodbye Liz." replied Fluttershy smiling to me.

After leaving Fluttershy with her issue, I walk back in the direction to the camp where my brother was, I just hope that he hasn't wake up yet and see that I'm not there. When I get back at the camp, I find that my big brother is still in his sitting position asleep, I have to tell him that I had finally meet Fluttershy, I'm hoping that he don't get too angry with me for go and exploring alone, but then I remember what Fluttershy told me, that in two days, the Summer Sun Celebration will start, that means that Nightmare moon is coming soon, I need to talk this with Jim, If we should intervene with this issue or we leave the things like that.

Jim's POV

I don't know where I was, I feel like If I was floating but not in the air, I was surrounded in a deep water, it was dark I cannot see too well in this place, I don't know is was a lake or a sea. One thing that sure about it, I was angry for some reason, like if I was bring down in this waters againts my will.

Just then, I feel that something is coming at my back, when I turn, I look that something was coming at that direction, something big was swimming to me. I was preparing myself for whatever was in this waters with me, it was too obvious that it was going to attack me, but that thing noted that I was waiting for it, so this thing stops and quickly turns around at it's side of the right and hide itself using the darkness that was surrounding us, at that moment I saw that this thing has a long tail while I lost it sight.

I start to look around for this creature, for what I learn in this short time sharing its presence is that this thing was smart, every time that I caught it with my eyes it quickly turns around and dissapear in this waters, I don't know why but I feel a deep anger and frustration against the creature, as If I had meet this thing before. After a while of playing this 'game' of hunting I finally encounter in my sight with the creature, it was far away from my position and it was doing something strange, there was somekind of water current in front of the creature.

Before I could know what this thing was doing a powerful torrent was shoot from creature and was covering my entire body. The water pressure that was creating this maelstrom, it was so strong that I have to move my huge arms in front of me slowly to shield myself from this attack, but my vision was turning white until finally I give up againts the power of this current, lossing my consciousness.

Ponyville, outskirts forest: Lizzie and Jim's camp

I woke up deeply panting about for what I saw in my dream, why I was underwater? What was that creature? And more importanly, why I feel like if had know that creature before and why I hate it so much? I don't have much time to think about when I feel something touching my legs, I look down and saw my little sister hugging me with her paws looking me with a concerned look.

"Jim are you ok?" ask Liz worried about me.

"It was just a dream, nothing more." I thought for a moment and then I move my hand to Liz's head a rub her gently with one finger.

"Is ok Liz I'm fine, it was just a bad dream that I had." I told her smiling.

"Good to know." Liz replied smiling now more relaxed.

"So, how was your training?" I asked to my sister.

"Jim! I finally made it, I have performed the Petit punch, look..." said Liz excited walking away from me to a tree, as she stood there in two legs and then and attacking it with her paws releasing her technique againts the tree and turn back to me. "See?" said my sister in joy.

"Wow, she really is something." I thought looking surprised from where I was sitting the marks that my sister left with her paws on tree's trunk.

"That's wonderful Liz, good job, now you just need to learn how to use the Puppy howling." I said satisfied with the progress of Liz.

"Watch out or I'll be stronger than you." said Liz with a proud posture smiling.

"Probably." I said joking and laughing a bit of her fun behavior.

"Oh Jim I almost forgot..." said Liz before she walks closer to me. "I finally meet a pony, Fluttershy, the pony who live in the cottage we cross last night." said Liz like if was nothing.

"WHAT?!!!" I exclaim exalted and angry, for me those words were like if someone had throw cold water at me. "Liz what I had told you? We can meet the ponies yet, what could have happened if one of those ponies decide to caught you and sell you in something like...I don't know, a zoo? or experimenting with you? What If I couln't-" I stop scolding my sister when I look her crying with tears streaming on her cheeks.

"I-I-I sorry J-Jim...I no-not gonna...do it...any-anymore." said Liz sobbing and scared, looking her in that state break my heart with regret for I had said to her.

"Oh...Liz I'm so sorry..." I said standing up and coming closer to her and with my left arm I grab my sister gently in my hand and moving her body closer to my chest. "Liz I shouldn't had yell at you and scolding you in that way, it was not right to do that to you, I'm sorry for being so harsh with you, but you are the only one I had right now in this strange world, I really don't want to loose you too." I said to my sister in my hand rubbing her gently with my other hand, I was about to break in a cry too.

"I-I know it Jim...I don't...want to lose you too." said my sister sobbing while rubbing her face against my chest fur.

We both stay like that for a good time, crying together comforting each other as the time pass. When both of us calm down, my sister look back to my face with her sad eyes saying: 'I'm sorry' and I look her back with the same look in my face as I sit on the ground again.

"Liz, I'm sorry, I don't want to be so overprotective with you but is just that I..." I try to said feeling bad for how i'm treating Liz.

"Is ok Jim, I'm sorry too, I shouldn't had go to explore without asking you first." said Liz to me.

"Everything is ok now, let's leave that in the past shall we?" I said to Liz smiling.

"Right..." said Liz with a better mood. "By the way Jim, when I talk with Fluttershy, she told something that I want to tell you."

"What?" I ask curious.

"She told me that in two days, the Summer Sun Celebration will start." said Liz with a serious tone.

"Summer what? Is that somekind of party?" I asked again oblivious about what she said to me.

"Well...Yes, but that's not important, Jim when that event happen Nightmare Moon will come back." said Liz with same seriousness.

"Nightmare Moon?" I said a little confused.

"Nightmare Moon, she is the first bad guy of My little pony that show up at that festival in the first two episodes of the show, I want to ask you If we should do something about it." explain Liz to me.

"Well Liz, you are saying that this Nightmare Moon character will appear right?..." I said as she replied with a nod. "And she is the first bad guy as you have said of the show right? So in theory we are at the beginning of the show?..." I said as Liz nod again at my question. "And you are saying that we should do something about, but Liz If we intervene in this, maybe, it will could change the story of the show." I said to my sister.

"Eh? What do you mean Jim?" Ask my sister confused.

"Well, let's just said that you and I go to that party and try to stop this Nightmare moon right?" I ask to my sister again and replied nodding. "Ok, then what could happen after that? You know that show right? So neither you or I would know what could happen If we meet this Nightmare moon." I explain to my sister who looks unsure for a bit until she realised.

"I see!..." exclaim my sister as she realise what I mean. "If we go and interrupt the Summer Sun Celebration, the future that I know will change." said Liz understanding the situation.

"You see, is a big risk, let's just wait until that party is over ok?" I said to my sister.

"But I'm worry for Fluttershy and the others Jim." said my sister concerned looking with her puppy eyes pleading.

"Is ok Liz, you know how end those episodes right?..." I said as she nod in replied. "Then you shouldn't be worry about this, they will be fine." I said to my sister reassuring her.

"If you said so..." said Liz unsure.

"So, what you talk about with this Fluttershy?" I said changing the subject.

"Oh well, she show me how to go to her cottage, she told me that she is having troubles with her forest friends...Oh, and she said that a huge monster is living in this forest right now and that we should move from this place." said Liz to me with a playful smirk.

"Really? A 'huge monster' is roaming in this forest, then you should stay inside the cave while I deal with it..." I said smiling following her game. "Or perhaps he would do something like this!" I exclaim and quickly my right hand I start to tickle my sister's belly.

"Ji-ha ha ha...Stop it!...Ha ha ha...No more!" said Liz laughing for my 'tickle attack'.

I continued tickling and playing with my sister like this as the time pass, when we realized, we noted that the sunset has arrived, it was time to prepare us for the night. Then Liz and I, we gather together branches and wood enough to ignite the bonfire for the dinner, tonight we will have a better menu than last night.

When the night falls, I use my dark spark to light the campfire, I noticed that the more I try to use my power, the less difficult it becomes to use them. Then I cook our fishes and after eating the dinner we decide to go to sleep in the cave, when I lay down at the entrace of the cave, I put Liz's body on my belly again like last night and noted the moonlight falling in our camp and I saw the shape of a horse or a pony in the moon.

"Even the moon has a pony in it? There's anything more that can surprise me in this world?" I thought looking to the moon.

"Hey Jim, do you think that I could visit Fluttershy in another time?" asked Liz to me as Iook back to her.

"Technically you can, but, you will go with my permission and after this two days ok?" I told my sister as she look me with joy.

"Really? thank you Jim!..." exclaim Liz jumping on my belly. "I wonder if is a good idea to for her to meet you?" said Liz while she take a sitting position.

"You don't had tell her about me right?" I ask to my sister.

"No, but I told her that I have a big brother." Liz replied to me.

"Good..." I said relieved. "Now let's sleep sis, tomorrow I will help you in learning how to use that Puppy howling." I told to Liz who nod smiling.

With that said, I move my right arm and with my hand I start to rub Liz's back, relaxing her until she finally fall asleep. Then before I go to the world of the dreams too, I move my left arm, grab a few pieces of wood that were closer to me and throw them in the fire to increase a bit the flame, after doing this I close my eyes and finally I fall asleep.

Ponyville

Twilight's POV

Last night I had been study a lot about something that I found, Nightmare Moon, in the book of Predictions and Prophecies, it's states that in the story of The mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon will return at the 'on the longest day of the thousandth year' and If my hypothesis are correct, that time will be on the day of Summer Sun Celebration.

I try to warn my mentor, Princess Celestia, but she told me that I should stop reading 'those dusty old books' as she said in her letter and assigned me to supervise the event, but the last part of her message task me one thing: 'Make some friends'. I was quite indifferent with that matter, with the prophecy of The mare in the moon worrying me, but I trust Princess Celestia's words, making friends will be the last thing I do, first I will finish this job and later I try to convince Princess Celestia, If I can't then I just hope that the prophecy will just stays as the old tale that it is.

There it was when I and my best friend and assistant, Spike the baby dragon, together we arrived in Ponyville, Spike told me to try to be more friendly with the ponies of this town and that was when we encounter a pink earth pony mare in our way. I say hello to her to her but instantly, her reaction surprise us, she jump and shout loud in front of us before she disappear in a moment running with a great speed leaving us with a awkward feeling.

With that experience, we begin to check the list of supervising, and our first stop was in the Sweet Apple Acres farm for catering. As we arrived in the farm, with meet with a mare that was bucking a apple tree, Applejack as called, she give us a welcome together with her huge family, we were just going to check the food but we feel obligated to stay and eat the food samples that they prepared for the festival.

Leaving the farm with our stomachs full, the next thing on the list was the sky, it said that a pegasus mare named Rainbow Dash was in charge of clearing the sky, we saw the 'great job' that she was doing in the sky, note the sarcasm, just at that moment we found this Rainbow Dash or I should say that she found us after she crash at me in the mud. After she help clean me and leaving a mess in my mane, I remark that she isn't doing her work on the sky, she told us that she will do her job after her pratice for the Wonderbolts, so I dare her that she couldn't do her job in 10 seconds, she took that as a challenge and in only 10 seconds with her incredible flying speed, leaving me stunned as she said her goobye and go for her practice.

After that, Spike and I go for the next stop on the list, the decoration, the pony in charge of this job was a mare named Rarity, we found her decorating the town hall and she was doing a good job, that was until she saw me and scream when she see the mess that was my mane, she took us to her botique saying that I shouldm't leave my mane in that state and she take a few hours dressing me a fixing my mane, after that she ask me where I come from and I just simple said: Canterlot, with that word she start to said how wonderful was the live in Canterlot and how she want to befriend with me, when she distracted for a second, I took that opportunity and flee with Spike out of Rarity's botique.

The last thing on list was the music, this time we come to find the pony in charge more in a quickly way and less time than Rainbow Dash as we hear the sounds of the birds chirpin behind some bushes. When pass thru the bushes we find a pegasus mare talking with a group of birds on a tree, I come closer to her and try to talk to her but her voice was so low I barely hear her name, Fluttershy, with nothing more to say and seeing that she was not having any trouble in this issue, I decide to leave with my assistant, but when she saw Spike, Fluttershy change her shyness mood to a excited one so quickly and start to talk to Spike and he talk about his entire life with Fluttershy and follow us all the way to the Golden Oak Library, the place Spike and I we will staying. with a little excuse, I trick Fluttershy to leave us as Spike and I entered the library.

It was so dark in the library as I explain to Spike that we don't have time to loose and I that have to convince the Princess that the prophecy could be true and that I don't have the time to waste befriending with these crazy mares. But suddenly the lights of the library were on and we encounter that the entire town was inside with us in this building, then I see the pony that I and Spike meet when we arrived in Ponyville, Pinkie Pie as she call herself, she was... A very excited mare about the fact that she want to know and befriends with me.

At this point I was tired of this matter and pay not much attention of was Pinkie Pie was saying, barely I undertand her saying that: 'having friends is good' and ' being alone is bad' while I grab a red bottle that was on a table and pour it out in a glass, then I drink this liquid I feel a burning and painful sensation in my mouth and belly and when I turn I to see Pinkie Pie, I saw the others ponies that I had meet in this day, but this feeling was so strong that tears were flowing out my eyes, I quickly go for some cold water to cure this feeling and rush upstairs, leaving away of everypony in the party.

Ponyville: Golden Oak Library

Fluttershy's POV

My friends and I look how Twilight run upstairs after what she had drunk, looks like she her was hot sauce that Pinkie bring and left on the table, poor dear, I hope that she's alright. After a few hours Twilight hasn't come down yet while everypony were having fun in the party, Spike had go and talk with some of guests of the party while my friends and I reunited to discuss the issue with creature that our town had.

"Pinkie dear, I think you should be a little more careful with those things." said Rarity to Pinkie Pie who was pouring hot sauce in a cupcake that she was carrying.

"Sorry Rare I will be careful." replied Pinkie eating the cupcake.

"So, did any of you had any sight of the monster?" said Rainbow Dash lowing her voice with us.

"Well, no...But, my family and I and try what Fluttershy has told us, we tie the branches of the trees on a rope with bells, in that way we will know if the creature enter in the apple orchards." said Applejack

"And I had be helping putting some lamps at the crossroad to even Fluttershy's cottage." said Pinkie Pie smiling.

"Thank you Pinkie, I got my little friends to come in my cottage so they could be safe in there for a while." I said to my friends.

"Is unbelievable that we have to be isolated us by this awful beast." said Rarity a little down in her mood.

"Hey and what happen about if the monster is not really a mean meanie pants and it was just hungry and right now is living in the forest outside Ponyville while it avoiding any contact until he find a way to made it's own home?" said Pinkie Pie speculating surprising us.

"That's...Those are quite interesting thoughts dear." said Rarity a little unsure, I don't blame her.

"Anyway, Mayor Mare told us that she will discuss this issue with Princess Celestia after the festival, she maybe can come with a solution to deal with the creature." said Applejack.

"That's good, after what it has done in Applejack's farm and scaring Fluttershy, it would has to deal with me." said Rainbow Dash bravely joking to cheer us, then we saw that Spike was coming in our direction.

"Hi girls, eh, sorry about Twilight's behavior, is a little difficult for her to make new friends." said Spike.

"Don't worry about it buddy, I'm sure that she just need-" Applejack was saying but she suddenly interrupted by Pinkie Pie.

"I know!..." said Pinkie excited as jump. "Why don't we play a game together, that way it could help her to be more open with us." said Pinkie Pie smiling.

"Huh? That could help, wait here girls I got for Twilight." said Spike as he left to the upstairs.

With that said, Pinkie suggest us to play a game to spend time, sadly Twilight decide to stay in her room, looks like something was worrying her so we let her be as we continuing having fun in the party as we wait for the dawn to come. I rembember my encounter with the young Liz at the forest, I hope that she and her brother had already leave that forest, I would have invited them for the party but with everything that was happening, but we already have little time to do our things. I wonder if I should told my friends about those two diamond dogs, but that thought had loss with the fun that we were having with everypony. Finally the time had come and everypony reunited at the town hall, I go with my birds friends so they could chirp their song for the festival, soon Mayor Mare will start the presentation and Princess Celestia will bring a new dawn for everypony.

Author's Note

Uff a little longer than the other chapters, I feel like I did a bit of cheating by doing that part before Fluttershy's pov, but I had see that scene made before in worst cases.

Anyway I decide to make a votation here about Liz's adult lv, Darcmon wouldn't be in the choices anymore, because of her lack of information. So it will be just Gatomon and Nerfetimon, both choices can evolve to the perfect lv digimon that I had choose for her so there's no problem about it, just let me know in the comments what digimon would you like for her to evolve of this two. :twilightsmile:

(Note: Liz will not evolve yet, we are at the beginning of the story. :raritywink: )

If you find any mistake please let me know about it, with that said, I wish merry christmas for everybody. :twilightsmile:

Chapter 4: The new dawn

Ourkirst's forest, Lizzie's and Jim's camp

Jim's POV

Today was tough day for me and my little sister, I told her yesterday that we were going to practice in help her to learn the Puppy howling. It was hard to doing because Liz had to shout loutly and it was tiring and her throat was drying, we spend most of the morning in training until the midday come for the lunch time so Liz and I go back to the lake and I fish our food, the enough amount for the dinner too of course.

One thought that I had when we were at the lake was that we can't continue catching this fishes in this place, when they run out, we will have to move to another place and not only that, our diet can't be only of fishes, yeah digimons can eat pretty much anything but this could become unhealty and the digimons in the games of tamagochi style, used to get sick if you give them something unappealing for they taste.

I was even thinking in revealing myself to these ponies risking our security of the anonymity, just to have a better life style for us, but yes, there was the fact that I could get in troubles if these ponies can easily become scare with my presence and take Liz away from me, that will be my last option, even if it ends badly.

When we go back to our camp Liz and I continue with our routine with her practice on her technique. It took us around 3 hours until Liz finally could use the Puppy howling with no troubles and with out getting affect her when she use it, she then used her attack on a small tree and the leaves in the branches falls like nothing while the tree was trembling, looks like my sister has talent in learning her skills, in other circunstances I would be jealous, but hey, I'm the one that is ultimate level, a fallen angel of the 3 sacred angels and obviously the most stronger of the two of us, so, I feel a relief in knowing that she can perform her abilities so naturally.

Then I told to Liz her next move: 'Sledge dash' and when I describe in what consist, Liz instantly said no. Sledge dash is an attack were the attacker charge and tackles the target with a headbutt, Liz give up the idea of learning this because if was boring to learn the Petit punch, it was tiring learning the Puppy howling and now with the Sledge dash, she really dislikes the idea of crashing her head at something, I laugh a bit about it and agree with her, so we stop the training with her.

I was thinking in training myself too, but I don't think that is a good idea trying to make lighthings more than a spark in this forest. The time pass and the night was coming, Liz told me that she really want to visit this pony named Fluttershy and maybe see how the ponies were working in this festival but I told her to wait until these events of tomorrow were over, just in case that she don't change the future of her show.

When the night time arrived, I prepare our dinner cooking the fishes that I caught today, the apples ran out this morning, we will have to think in something to change the menu of tomorrow. Again when we finished our dinner we go back at the cave to sleep, Liz then told me that because of this Nightmare Moon character, we might wake up a bit later than usual, cause Nightmare Moon will control the night on this day, it was still so hard to believe this issue about that a pony can control day and night, but everytime that I try to find some logic of this I look to myself and remember that my actual situation is quite of unbelievable too.

Without much of thinking in this, both Liz and I fell asleep as our minds go to the world of the dreams.

There, I was again in this old and familiar place, my own home in my bedroom with my body still on the bed, for some reason I was so happy about this day that go out the bed with my pajamas still on me as I run excited out my room. I think I remember this, yes this was on the morning of christmas, I was going for the gifts in the tree.

Not so later I hear steps at my back and look who this person was and get the surprise that it was Liz running behind me with joy. but the strange thing was that Liz looks younger, I think she is five, the more I look around the more I remember this scene as we both go downstairs to the living where our gifts were waiting for us.

As we enter to the living room, we saw our parents there for us to watch the moment when we open the gifts. My sister go and sit on the floor as she grab her gift, when she open it she take out a unicorn plushie that she hug with love, I'm starting to realise where that love for ponies had come from, me on the other hand I grab a box that have my name on it and then I saw my first treasure, my first game console the PS2, I hug the box of my console loving it as I look to my parents.

"Did you like it son?" said my dad smiling.

"Yeah I love it, thank you dad!" I replied excited with joy.

"Good, Now...Will you wake up now, you beast?" said my mom with another voice that I don't recognize.

"What?" I said genuinely scared and confused.

"How dare you to waste our time you insolent monster." said my 'mom' with a scaring smirk on her face as she come to me.

I don't know what was happening to my mom, her face was becoming more darker with every step that she take as she come closer to me. I look around and see that my sister was now a deform twirl image, my dad was becoming one too, the tree, the walls everything was becoming twisted, everything was looking in that way, except for now my scaring looking 'mom' as she stop in front of me in silent for a while as she look me with that mischievous grin on her face and her eyes, they look so different now, they looks like the eyes of a reptile or a dragon.

"Wake up!" exclaim my 'mother' as everything become white.

I woke up feeling the fear of that dream has caused me, my respiration accelerate with a lot of stress as I breath deeply to calm down. When I look around and I saw that I was still in the cave with Liz on my belly who was waking up too, rubbing her right eye with her paw, looks like I just jump in when I was having that nightmare making the enough movement to disrupt my sister dream, as she look up to me.

"Jim...Are you alright?" said Liz with concern in her tone.

"Yes, I think I just had a bad dream." I told to Liz.

"Really? Are you ok?" said Liz as I smile and rub her head gently.

"I think so, look let's try slee-" I try to said but I was interrupt when I hear a flapping sound out the cave.

"What the...Something is outside." I said lowering my tone with senses in alert.

"Who could be?" said Liz lowering her tone too.

"Don't know, but don't make a noise ok?" I told to Liz who nod in replied.

Outside the cave was too dark to see anything clearly and fire of the camp has already extinguished. I was thinking what I should do, should I go outside and scare this person or whatever that had come to our camp? Or maybe we could just stay inside the cave in silence, those were my thoughts until the moment when the light of the moon appear and illuminated the place, just at this moment that I could see more properly this newcomer that was a few meters of distance in front of the cave.

It was a black horse with wings and a horn on the forehead, wearing an armor and it's mane and tail was made of starry night sky, how is that possible? That horse can see me inside the cave but I thing that it hasn't note Liz yet so I move my little sister behind me and I told with signs to hide in the cave as I cover her with my body, when I look back to the horse I noted that it had the same dragonic eyes that my mom has in my dream, I was already suspecting that this horse has something to do about it.

"You finally have awakened you monster, we were thinking that you want to test our patience." said the horse with arrogance in her tone with the same voice that my mom had in the dream.

"Who are you? What do you want?" I asked a little angry to the horse.

"How unpolite of us, let us introduce ourselves, our name is Nightmare Moon, the new regent of all Equestria." said Nightmare Moon with same tone in her voice.

"So this is the so call Nightmare Moon that Liz had talk about." I thought looking to this mare.

"So Nightmare Moon you still haven't told me what do you want or how did you find me, speak." I declared with anger, there's something about this mare that I don't like me one bit.

"You simpleton beast, when we saw your door in the dream world it caught our attention, even us cannot enter in your dream for some strange reason, so we simple decide to altered it into a nightmare to woke you up." said Nightmare Moon with a smirk admitting that she was the responsible for that bad dream that I had.

"I see..." I said with my tone more angrier than before as I come out the cave looking down to Nightmare Moon "Still you haven't said what do you want from me." I said to Nightmare Moon

"You seem to be a great beast that could be useful for our plans, so we give you the choice to serve us, kneel before us you monster and swear your loyalty to become our slave." said Nightmare Moon with prepotent tone of superiorty to me.

"So that's it? Let me thinking about it for a moment..." I said tired of this arrogant mare as I lift my right arm. "Go to hell!" I exclaimed furious forming a fist in my right arm.

I was ready with all my will to crush this insolent and annoying mare with a punch but Nightmare Moon light her horn and shot from the tip a dark beam againts me, hitting me in my chest sending me to fly back and crash againts the stone wall a side of the entrace of the cave, how much power this mare have to send me away so easily? I try to stand up, luckily it seems that beam just hit me and not burning me when I see the damage in my chest, I only have a big bruise on it.

"Jim what's happening?!" exclaim my sister in concern as she come out the cave.

"Don't come out!" I shout preocuppied about my sister but it was too late, my sister was out the cave as she walk in front of me between that crazy mare and I.

"Oh what do we have here? A little dog has come to protect it's master we suppose." said Nightmare Moon with her prepotent tone looking to Liz.

"Nightmare Moon, leave my brother alone!" exclaim Liz angry in position to fight showing her fangs.

"How frightening, the little pet think that it can intimidating us, and 'brother'? You two don't look too much a like to be-" Nightmare Moon stopped mocking my sister when she look to me, she suddenly have a expression of surprise when she looking me, then she smirk. "We see it now." said Nightmare Moon.

Then at that instant, Nightmare Moon light her horn again and this time a dark energy appear in Liz's body covering my sister levitating her and moving her closer to Nightmare Moon. Liz try to move but It was like if she was frozen as I stand up preparing myself to charge with rage when Nightmare Moon lift her left hoof in front of me stopping my march.

"Ah ah ah, we wouldn't do anything harsh in your place you beast." said Nightmare Moon looking to Liz who was floating a her side.

"Leave my sister alone or I swear that I will rip your guts out." I said threatening this crazy mare.

"Let's have a deal you monster, we have our castle in the Everfree forest, if you want your sister without any scratch in her body, we suggest you to go to that forest and guard it for any intruder that could come to disturb us." said Nightmare Moon with her smirk looking to me.

"Don't listen to her Jim, you have to fin-" my sister try to said but Nightmare Moon put her right hoof in my sister mouth closing it.

"Silence! Don't interfere in our conversation you impolite dog ..." said Nightmare Moon as she turn to look to me. "You have been warned you monster, do as we had told you, if you ever want to see your sister sane and safe again." said Nightmare Moon as she light her horn with more intensity.

With that said I try to reach to Nightmare Moon and stop her but suddenly a bright flash come out her horn blinding me for a brief moment, when I recover and look back, there was no sign of Nightmare Moon or my sister in the camp. I was alone, my only sister had been kidnaped from my side by a evil mare, I took a seat on my knees on the ground devasted looking down while the desesperation was eating me.

The rage was filling my mind with thoughts of revenge and fury againts Nightmare Moon as I was feeling an energy that ran through my body, I lift both my arms forming my fists while a dark spark was coming out of them and suddenly I smash the ground with my strength creating a crater around me as I release a thunder from my body.

A few minutes pass after I finally calm down feeling a bit tired for what I just done in my rage state, not only that I had cause great damage to the camp but the bruise that Nightmare Moon give me with her attack from before has also heal completely. I stood up and decide to walk away from this place, my sister needs me more than I could ever imagine and now I was determinated to bring her back to my side as I leave this forest to go to the Everfree to confront Nightmare Moon and kick her ass.

Don't worry Liz, your big brother is coming for you right now. I thought while I walk.

Ponyville, Golden oak Library

Twilight's POV

This is horrible, how this could happen? Oh yeah I know already because in the end the prophecy was true. An hour had pass after the event in the town hall were Nightmare Moon had show up and threat everypony with a eternal night, right now I was in the library with Spike sleeping while I was searching in the books for somekind of answer about the elements of harmony, as the story tells, those magic items are the only thing that could help us againts Nightmare Moon.

Then the mares that I meet yesterday enter to the library looking for an answer of this issue. at that moment Pinkie Pie just find the correct book that has some information of the elements of harmony, in the book was written that five of the Elements are stored in the royal sisters castle, the ancient castle that it was located at the Everfree forest, with this discovery the six of us go to the entrace of the scary forest as we stood there for a while.

"Well, what are we waiting let's go!" exclaim Pinkie excited jumping her way to the forest.

"Wait a moment..." I said stopping Pinkie's march. "Look everypony, I appreciated your offer but I have to do this alone." I told them.

"Sorry sweatheart but we can let a friend alo-Aaahhh!" exclaimed Applejack as she falls in what looks to be a hole.

"Oh no, are you ok dear?" said Rarity concerned as she walk closer to Applejack.

"Yeah, I'm ok I just fell in a hole." said Applejack standing.

"Eh...Girls." said Rainbow Dash who was flying a side of me and was pointing with her left hoof to where Applejack was.

Then I and the rest of my companions look down to the hole with more detail and saw it was not just a hole, it was a huge footprint in the ground. I never have see this kind footprint in my books, it look's like if it was from a leporids species but this one is so huge, I was so...Excited about this discovery, a new animal species that have never been spotted was closer to us? This was wonderful, then I look to my companions and noted that all of they share a same concerned look when they were watching the footprints, like if they had know about this.

"Is everypony is ok?" I asked to these mares who look back to me.

"Twilight dear, with might had omitted some information that was happening in our town." said Rarity to me.

"What do you mean? If has to do with this animal?" I said speculating as I point with my right hoof to the footprints.

"Well, yeah, this beast had come to my farm and steal some of my apple trees." explain Applejack that I find a little hard to believe in her story.

"If what you said is true Applejack, why everypony haven't say anything about this issue or call a hight autority?" I ask a good question, who could let go this kind of oportunity?

"When we find the existence of this creature two days ago, with the festival coming we couldn't pospose it so with take our hoofs in this issue, the creature has come from the Everfree forest and had invade the forest in the ourkirts while we made sure that it couldn't show up at the worst moment until we could inform Princess Celestia about it so she could help us after the festival." said Fluttershy to me.

"I see, but why it has decided to return to the Everfree at this moment?" I said putting my right hoof under my chin.

"Oh! I know! I know!..." said Pinkie excited while jumping. "Maybe Black snooty has come to see this creature before she shows up at the town hall, and recruited it to guard the Everfree from anypony who could come searching for the elements of harmony and now is there waiting for us." said Pinkie speculating as we all stood there looking her atonished for what she said.

"Pinkie dear, not that I want to be rude with you, but try eat less sugar ok?" said Rarity in the most polite way.

"Yes mam." said Pinkie with her right hoof on her forehead like a soldier as Rarity roll her eyes smiling.

"Anyway, girls, right now we had bigger problems in our hoofs than this monster, if we don't find these elements of harmony we will live in these eternal night forever." Applejack with the will of duty in her tone.

"That's right, and if we find that monster I will show it some of my moves and made it regret for try to stop us from our mission." said Rainbow Dash hitting the air with her hoofs.

"Alright everypony, let's go." said Applejack determinated.

The rest agree in what to do with this issue, we may encounter with this creature in this scary forest but we have the bigger priority of finding the elements of harmony and stop Nightmare Moon plans. Everypony was determinated to enter in the Everfree, even Fluttershy and about the matter of this creature, why it has to show up right now? Nightmare Moon has something to do with the creature? Pinkie Pie could have been right about her theory? I really don't know, but we are going to solve this problem and bring a new dawn.

Everfree forest

Jim's POV

I had been walking to this forest for a while, remembering the path that Liz told me the first time we go out the Everfree forest. If what Liz has told me last time, that Nightmare Moon's stupid castle was deep in this forest, at the end of the road I was force to walk tru trees, mountainsides and even a river, for good a time as I continue in my way to find this castle, but I was getting too tired, with my dream disrupted, the outburst that I had earlier at the camp and the stress I got thinking in my sister's safety, if I don't find this castle soon I would run out of energy and faint. Luckily, I finally reach to a precipice with a old fallen bridge and at the other side of the precipice I can see a old castle ruins, that must be the place were Nightmare Moon had my sister in.

"Maybe if I jump I could reach to the other side." I thought looking down to the precipice that was covered with fog.

When I was about to jump to pass this precipice, a strange purple cloud appear in front of me stopping my march as I stood there looking to this thing, then I was preparing to defend myself of this thing but in this strange cloud it start to show a pair of eyes that I had see not too long ago, Nightmare Moon's eyes.

"So you had come to us you beast." said Nightmare Moon in this cloud form.

"Nightmare Moon!" I exclaim in rage as I move my right arm forming a fist and punch her but my fist end up going through her ethereal form, Nightmare Moon just laugh about my action against her.

"Relax you fool, you don't want us to remember you who we had in our mercy." said Nightmare Moon as she show me tru her cloud body a image of Liz encaged in somekind of cage made of dark energy in a room where it was a old throne. With no other choice I sigh in defeat.

"What do you want?" I said still angry.

"How obedient, you see, a group of foolish mares are coming to our castle, we want you to stop them at once when they reach to this bridge, you understand?" said Nightmare Moon, right now I only see her eyes but I know that she was grining at this moment.

"What about my sister?" I ask.

"We promise that we will return your sister at your side after you finish the job." said Nightmare Moon.

"Very well then." I said, I have to think in a way to rescue my sister, I don't believe one bit in her words.

"One more thing, don't even try to talk with these ponies for help, we will watching your actions and if you say something about it, we can't secure the safety of your sister If you know what we mean." said Nightmare Moon while she let out a maniac laugh and dissapeared or I should say fade off of this place.

"Damm you, I hate that mare and her stupid way to refer herself." I thought with my fists trembling impotent of doing something againts Nightmare Moon.

I was in silence for a while alone after Nightmare Moon leave as I was still looking to the castle on the other side of the precipice where my sister was held captive. Maybe I could jump and rush quickly to the castle as Nightmare Moon try to stop me, she said that she will be watching me so I suppose that she will be closer to this place, unless she have some omniscience power and see any movement that I could do while she be sitting somewhere in the castle with Liz close to her. But before I could take any action I hear something coming from my back then I turn to see what it was.

Twilight's POV

After everything that had happen to us, passing mountainsides, dealing with a manticore, going tru scary trees and helping a sea serpent from a river, I could feel it now, my companions and I, little by little I feeling something about them, joy, hope and I would dare to say, friendship. As the six of us continue with our way tru this forest while we follow a path that we suspect were the ruins of the royal castle.

"Right there girls, I think we are closer to it." I said as we trot.

"Twilight look out!" exclaim Rainbow Dash as she grab my tail making fall on the ground stopping me in the act.

When I look in front of me I saw huge body at us in that direction that was standing before of a precipice, with the sound that we made with our coming the big body turns back to us. There it was the creature that the girls had mentioned before, it was a huge creature covered with a purple fur and a green stripe that going between it's legs to the neck, it was bipedal while it stood there in two legs and has two huge arms, it look's like that it was wearing the collar that some clowns wear in the neck, It has two long ears and three little horns in it's forehead, this creature was like somekind of monster rabbit and it was looking to us with it's yellow eyes and serious expression but at the time, it also looks tired for some reason.

We don't say anything for a while as we just stood there in silence, we noted that behind this monster was ruins of the old royal castle. Then the creature look to it's back and there was a fallen bridge to cross the precipice, maybe Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy could lift it for the rest of us to use it, but the creature stood there inmobile with it's huge arms grabbing it's sides still watching us, it was if its was guarding the bridge.

"Hey you!..." said Rainbow Dash flying over where we were pointing the creature with her right hoof. "Move out of our way, we have to cross that bridge." said Rainbow Dash being brave or very stupid.

The creature surprise us answering shaking his head like if it was saying no and it move it's right arm while moving it's... 'Claw'? Up and down like if it want us to leave this place, looks like this thing was more intelligent that its appear to be.

"Listen partner, we have something very important to do at the other of the precipice, but I want to know one thing first... Had you been in my farm?..." said Applejack a little upset as the creature moves it's head again saying no. "Liar! I know when somepony is lying, you and I have some unfinished business, pal." said Applejack now angry taking position to fight, looks like what this thing did in her farm was pretty extreme for her.

"Calm down darling..." said Rarity as she walk closer to Applejack and put her right hoof on Applejack's shoulder and look back to the creature. "We are sure that our...'Big' friend here don't want to give a bad image with to us, maybe you and I we can have a deal, what about if I give you a good make up that could combine with that collar that you are wearing and you let's us to use the bridge?" said Rarity with her offer to the monster.

The creature after hearing Rarity's offer got surprise and...A little scare? then it quickly got upset and stick out it's tongue to Rarity.

"Eh? You impolite creature, you don't do that to a dame!" exclaim Rarity now angry with the creature. Then Fluttershy walk to the monster and stops a few meters of distance between them of course.

"Excuse us mister monster, I know that we may kind upset you, but we really need to use the bridge, can you let us pass please, we promise that we don't bother you anymore." said Fluttershy pleading to the monster with her tearing eyes.

With Fluttershy's words the creature seems to hesitate it's stubbornness as it looks away from Fluttershy but she fly to the sight of the monster with her pleading stare and the monster look to another way and Fluttershy fly again so the monster could still see her face. They continue like this for a while until finally the creature got angry and stomp it's right feet on the floor scaring Fluttershy as she quickly go and hide behind us as Rainbow Dash got upset with this.

"That's it, we try to reason with you, but looks like you will only understand by force." said Rainbow Dash preparing herself.

Not only Rainbow, Applejack and Rarity were getting ready to battle this monster as the creature was preparing itself to fight back and if that happen we will in a great danger. Only Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy who was hidding behind Pinkie and I were out of this conflict, the situation can't get worse than this, then I noted that the creature was closer the precipice, maybe just maybe...I Iook to Pinkie with that thought in my mind.

"Pinkie, please stay with Fluttershy." I said getting ready to charge as I prepare a spell in my horn.

"What are you gonna do?" ask Pinkie.

"A crazy idea." I simple said while I ready to do my move.

With that said I charge to the creature passing a side of Applejack, Ranbow and Rarity as they stood there stunned when they look at my action, from the other hoof the creature saw me approaching to it and lift it's right arm to perfom a swim move to hit me but I was ready to do my attack first.

"Girls close your eyes!" I exclaim as they quickly as I said.

After that, I release my spell and create a shining and bright light a meter of distance in front of the creature. The effect was immediate and I successfully blind the monster as it shout upset and move it's arms to cover it's face for what I have done, then I look back to Ranbow Dash.

"Ranbow now!" I exclaim t her.

Rainbow Dash don't loose a second and quickly fly directly to the monster and give it a good kick in the belly. The creature with the impulse and strenght of Ranbow Dash's kick made it to take a step back and it's foot touch the edge of the precipice, with the weight of the monster in that position was enough to making it fell in the precipice, but at the moment when it was falling I was too close to the creature and it caught me in it's left claw with a firm grip as both of us fell.

"Twilight!" I hear the girls calling my named concerned.

I close my eyes, I was expecting that the monster and I fall down until we crash on the floor but instead I feel like if I was hanging in the air. When I open my eyes and look around I noted that the creature still had me in it's claw by my tail while with it's other arm was holding the edge of the precipice, avoiding our fall, as I look up to the monster I noted that he was looking down to me, it's was breathing deeply while it panting, looks like this creature was at its limits.

"Twilight are you ok?!" I hear Applejack voice calling me as I saw how the 5 mares peek their heads on the edged of the precipice.

"Hang on there dear, we will save you!" Exclaim Rarity.

In that moment the monster look into my eyes for brief moment and I saw something in those eyes until it lift the arm that was carrying me and throw me over it's body and I end up falling on the ground closer to the girls as they trot to my side to see if I was ok, luckily I was fine. Then we hear the sound of movement behind us we turn to look at our backs we saw the monster climbing up out the precipice edge and drags it's body to the surface and stood there on it's knees panting and move it's head to see us.

"I...sorry..." said the creature with a male creepy voice surprising us before it fall on it's belly to the ground and close it's eyes.

"It can talk?" said Applejack atonish, then Fluttershy fly closer to the monster's face.

"Be careful Fluttershy." said Rarity concerned and Fluttershy turn to us when she finished on checking the monster

"Is ok girls, it seems it has passed out exhausted." said Fluttershy as she fly to us.

"What do we do now?" said Pinkie as we stood there looking to the sleeping creature for a while until I come with the better choice.

"We go and find the elements of harmony first, Nightmare Moon and her eternal night is a bigger issue, we can deal with this creature when Princess Celestia returns." I said to the girls who nod in agreement with the situation in our hoofs.

"Ok girls, with sleepyhead out of our way, I just go and put that bridge in its place." said Rainbow Dash confident.

With that said, Rainbow Dash go to fix the bridge so we can continue our way to the old royal castle. Still that creature really intriged me, why it was trying to stop us? If that was its intention then why it save me instead of dropping me to the abyss? There was too many things concerning me right now, but one thing at a time, I just hope that creature stay sleeping after we come back.

Royal Pony sister's castle ruins

Lizzie's POV

How much time has passed? Nightmare Moon has come to our camp threatening my brother and then kidnapping me and teleporting us to the old castle of the pony sister's throne room, after that she put me inside a cage made of dark magic, something strange about it is that between the bars was somekind of barrier that made see everything outside blurry. When the figure of Nightmare Moon was gone, I try to use my Puppy howling and Petit punch at the cage but nothing happens, so I stay there worry about my brother as I cry there alone.

Later on some flash appear in the room that caught my attention and watch outside the cage some figure of two ponies, one was an alicorn that I suppose was Nightmare Moon and the other was smaller with a horn, could it be Twilight? The moment of the elements of harmony has come? With this barrier I can't see a thing properly, I even try to call for help but it seems that no sound come out of this cage, this sucks.

After a while I could see more ponies entering in the room as they trot to Twilight's side, as the time time pass a light appear where Twilight and her friends were standing and few moments after the bodies of the ponies start to float as the power of that light increase and releasing a multicolor ray that looks like a rainbow to Nightmare Moon and then a bright flash covered the entire room. After that flash of light I noted that I was no longer in that cage anymore, I was free, then I noted how Twilight and her friends were talking while I was still a side of the throne, I was thinking in going out from where I was and thank them for help me even If they doesn't know what they do after defeating Nightmare Moon, but a flash entered the room from a window and Princess Celestia made her appearance in front of the ponies, bringing the sunlight to the room.

When Princess Celestia congratulated them and then she turn to where Nightmare Moon was, who after the purification of the elements of harmony had done, she return to her old form of Princess Luna. The pony sisters reunited in a fraternal hug and I decide to wait for a while to come out just to not break out the moment, when the ponies were ready to go I finally come out from where I was and reveal myself.

"Wait, wait for me!" I exclaim walking to the ponies.

"What the?" said Rainbow Dash who was the first that turns to look me.

"Who's that?" said Twilight who look me surprise an curious as the rest of the presents turns to look at me.

"Hi." I said smiling nervous lifting my paw in front of everyone, or I should say everypony? Then Fluttershy come closer.

"Liz? What you doing here?" ask Fluttershy concerned.

"Did you know her darling?" said Rarity looking to Fluttershy.

"Uh huh, we meet in the forest when I was looking for my forest friends, Princesses, girls, meet Liz she is a diamond dog that I meet in the outskirts forest, she is traveling with her big brother." said Fluttershy introducing me to the presents.

"Nice to meet you all." I said a little shy while rubbing my left paw with the other.

"But why you are here Liz?" ask Fluttershy concerned.

"Well..." I said with a sad look while I turn to Princess Luna who at first doesn't seem to know but then she react surprised with shame and guilt remembering what she had done as she take a step to me.

"We-I...I really sorry, I'm not asking your forgiveness but I'm truly ashamed by my acts that I had done to your brother and you, young Liz." said Princess Luna lowering her head to look me into my eyes, I could see some tears coming out of them.

"Luna? What had you-" Princess Celestia try to say but I interrupt her.

"Is ok, you don't truly mean to do what you had done." I said with short smile, cheering Princess Luna.

"Young Liz...Thank you." said with a warm smile with her teary eyes.

After that I was now walking together with the group of ponies tru the old castle following the princesses. Pinkie Pie was closer to me asking me a lot of questions about my likes, what was my favorite flavor of cake, If I like parties and more, Rarity was asking about my ring and while Twilight and Fluttershy was walking in front of us chatting a bit, the only ones that were kind of distance were Applejack and Rainbow Dash, I guess they were suspicious about me. When we were getting out the castle at the entrace we look a big figure coming to our direction as we hear the sound of the ground when it rumbles.

"What? Is him again." said Twilight concerned.

"It woke up more earlier than we expect." said Rainbow Dash said flying over us preparing herself to fight.

"What Is that thing?" said Princess Celestia atonish.

"Jim!" I exclaim in joy as I run to Jim's direction.

"Liz wait don-" try to said Fluttershy but it was stopped by Princess Luna's hoof.

"Liz!..." exclaim Jim smiling as he rush to me extending his arms and caught me in his hands lifting my little body bringing me closer to his face.

"I thought that I couldn't never see you again sis." said Jim glad to know that I was ok.

"Is ok Jim I'm alright now." I said with joy.

"What? 'Sis'? Does it mean that this huge creature is..." said Twilight trying to putting the gears together without any success.

"Your brother?!" exclaim everypony except for Princess Luna who know about it from the beginning.

"Eh? Yeah." my brother said so simply to the presents ponies.

Author's Note

And cliffhanger again. :pinkiehappy:

Uff more than 6700 words the longer chapter at the moment, still, I feel that it still need more but I will add details if it need later, is too late already and the sleep is killing me. :ajsleepy:

Anyway, let me know if I had made any mistake, happy new year everybody. :twilightsmile:

Chapter 5: The new start

Ponyville's outskirts, Fluttershy's cottage

Jim's POV

After what happened at the ruins of that old castle, it seems like Nightmare Moon has been defeated by these ponies as I don't see any trace of her, then the winged white unicorn light her horn and teleport everyone to outside the cottage that belong to this pony Fluttershy that Liz had mention to me before. At this place the entire group of ponies just stood there looking to me and Liz for a while, like expecting some explication until let out a sigh and I take a seat on the ground looking to the ponies in front of us.

"I think we should introduce ourselves...My name is Jim Summers, I'm fourteen years old and a six grade student." I said to the ponies.

"And I'm Lizzie Summers but all of you can just call me Liz for short, I'm a third grade student and I turn nine this year, nice to meet you all." said Liz smiling.

"Wait a minute you two..." said the purple pony with a horn as turns to me. "You are fourteen?! You are still a colt?! But you are so...And you voice sounds so...Mature." said the purple pony confused trying to understand my age, I think I had break her.

"Colt?" I said confused and curious.

"It means younger male Jim." explain Liz to me.

"I see, well first of all, my sister and I are not from this world, we had been...Transported to this world by some reason." I told to the presents ponies.

"What do you mean young Jim?" said to me the white winged unicorn curious.

I start to tell this ponies the situation that I have with Liz, of couse, omiting the part that this world was a tv show for little girls and tell them how was our come to this world of Equestria and how had been our lives these days. I could see the orange pony with a cowboy hat from before unsure in her feelings for us, sure we done something bad to her farm but it was merely for our survival, the rest of the ponies were sympathizing with us feeling pity for our situation, especially the winged blue unicorn, she looks guitly and ashamed for some reason.

"So, you two are from another world and possible universe?" ask Rainbow Dash as my sister and I nod in replied.

"Yeah and we were humans too, before we become like this." said Liz to the presents ponies.

" 'Uumans'? What's a 'uuman'?" ask the purple pony curious about us.

"To put it in short terms, humans are creatures familiar with the monkeys or apes, just with much less hair." I said to the purple pony.

"I see, interesting." said the purple pony with her right hoof under her chin looking down.

"Anyway, now that you all had hear our story, will you help us to go back to our world?" I ask to the ponies and the winged white unicorn took a step in front of me.

"Young Jim, I cannot assured you to send you back to your world yet, but I will be investigating in away to help you and your sister to return both you to your world." said this white winged unicorn with a warm smile.

"Thank you, er...miss?" I asked to this pony.

"Celestia, Princess Celestia ruler of Equestria..." said Princess Celestia as she turn to the winged blue unicorn. "Or shall I said now co-ruler." said Celestia with a warm smile.

"Sis..." said the winged blue unicorn smiling with a blush and then she look to me. "My name is Luna, Princess of Equestria and co-ruler with my sister Princess Celestia." said Princess Luna to me.

"Nice to meet you." I said smiling as I look to the rest of the ponies.

At that moment the six mares begin to introduce themselves, the purple unicorn was the first one, her named was Twilight Sparkle who is a student of Princess Celestia, Twilight was looking me with interest, I think she had a bomb of questions in her head to me but she hesitated in asking me for now. The next one was the pink mare, Pinkie Pie...This pony, man, what it she? She was jumping at sides of me delivering me hundreds of questions that my mind barely caught a few of them until the next mare stop her.

She was a white unicorn with a purple mane, named Rarity, I remember her, she was the pony who want to give me a make up, what was she thinking at that moment? That I would like that? Do I look like a clown?...Yeah the answer comes alone. First I said sorry for sticking out my tongue to her, looks like it was a bad taste from me, if the rest of the ponies of this world are so easy to offend like Rarity, then I will have to be more careful about it.

The next mare was Rainbow Dash, a blue pegasus with a rainbow mane, she acts so...Boyish, I think that she is the tomboy of the group, she was talking about how she is the fastest flier of Equestria, she said that she was training to become member of the 'Wonderbolts' as she call it...Whatever what that mean, she was fast for sure, I still remember how fast she was when she fly at me to give me that kick in my belly when we were at the precipice.

Then I look a side to the group and I see how slowy and nervous comes the other pegasus mare of the group, Fluttershy, she has yellow fur with and pink mane, she was the one that was pleading to me at the precipice, at that time I was a little rude with her, but the truth to be told, her puppy eyes were so strong, between she and my sister, I don't know who could be more...Cute, while using the pleading stare, right now she was a little unsure with me, Liz told me that she had befriends with her, so I try to be polite with her extending my right hand to her with my index finger and she give me her right hoof and she shyly touching my finger, she really lives up to her name.

And finally the last mare of the group, the orange with blond mane and with country accent, Applejack, looks like she have a conflict with her feelings in how to treat my sister and I, specially me. Applejack only said her name and go back to the group a side of Rarity as we look back to Princess Celestia and she said that we should go to the town now.

Ponyville town center

As soon as we entered in the town, the ponies with the sole sight of me immediately they locking themselves in their houses, closing doors and windows, Well at least they don't have pitchforks and torches to drive me away out the town like in the old monster movies. Princess Celestia then make a call to gather the town ponies together and introduce us to them for them to know that my sister and I were not a threat to the ponies, after that Pinkie Pie quickly organized a party for everyone in the town.

My sister decide to go and socialize with Pinkie Pie and the others while I just take a seat on the ground with a table in front of me full of food for me. I was eating calmly diferent types of dishes, sadly meat was not in the menu that was something that I expect, but I didn't know that this ponies could cook so well, even if their dishes were kind small to me the taste was indeed wonderful.

Then after a while, I could see the six mares gathered together were the princesses were and Liz was with them, looks like they Princess Celestia was talking with Twilight. When I finished my drink that was in a bucket, I walk to the group of mares as I come closer I saw the girls hugging Twilight with joy, it seems that Princess Celestia said something to cheering them as I reach to them.

"Oh young Jim, you have come in a good timing, we were just about to call you to discuss an important matter about your sister and you." said Princess Celestia with a serious tone to me.

"What do you mean Princess?" I ask curious.

"As you know already, you and your sister are still minors, both of you need a guardian, somepony that could take the adecuate care, education and protection for both, I was thinking in taking you two back to Canterlot." said Princess Celestia to me.

"Canterlot?" I ask again.

"Canterlot is the capital of Equestria, at that place is the royal castle where you two could live." said Princess Celestia with a warm smile.

"A castle? That could be great, right Liz?" I said as I turn to look my sister.

"Eh Jim, can you come with me?..." said Liz as she take a few steps away from the group and turn back to us. "Excuse us for a minute please." said Liz as she continue walking.

I look confused to Liz as I follow her until we were a few meters of distance of the princesses and the girls, until a that moment she stops and turn to look up to me with a serious expression.

"Liz? What's the matter?" I said to Liz.

"Jim, I don't want to go to Canterlot, I want to stay here in Ponyville." replied Liz.

"Are you sure? I mean, the princess said that we could live in a castle, we don't have to care about needs and more until they could find a way to send us to our home." I said to Liz.

"I know, but, I really don't want to go to that place, if we go it will be a lonely stay." said Liz to me.

"How do you know?" I ask to Liz.

"I have watched the show remember? Besides, the noble ponies at Canterlot are kind of...Jerks, specially a pony that I really don't want to meet." said Liz a little upset about this unknow pony that she is talking about.

"Ok, but what are we gonna do? We have to stay with someone in this town." I told to my sister.

"I know, Fluttershy, she was kind to me, I'm sure that she will gladly help us." said Liz smiling.

"Yeah she seems nice, but the problem is that I'm too big to live in her cottage, and we aren't going to live at the camp either, that doesn't mean that we are living with a caretaker." I told to my sister.

"That's true, but I'm think that living here in Ponyville could be better than Canterlot, please Jim, at least let's try it." said Liz pleading making her puppy eyes.

"Jezz, I'm starting to believe that this is one of your secret techniques as a Salamon." I thought looking to my sister's stare.

"Alright alright, but if we can't, we go to live with the princesses you understand?" I said to my sister with a firm tone and she nod smiling. Then we go back to the princesses and the girls.

"So, what you two have talked about?" said Princess Celestia, as I look to my sister for a moment and she nod to me and I turn back to the princesses.

"Princesses Celestia, we want to stay here in Ponyville." I told to Princess Celestia who looks suprised with my decision.

"But young Jim, where you two could live here? Both of you need the enough space and comfort." said Princess Celestia concerned.

"Well..." I said trying to think in something but we both know that she's right.

"Sister if you could let me, I may can help these childrens..." said Princess Luna smiling to her sister how look back and nod. "Young Jim, young Liz, to make my amends with both you, I will support you economically so both can live peacefully in this town." said Princess Luna with determination.

"What did she mean with 'amends'? I thought looking to Princess Luna.

"Good idea sis, I will too, in next weeks we shall send workers and the material to build a home for both of you..." said Princess Celestia to me. "And for a caretaker, I think I got the best ponies for the job." said Princess Celestia as she turns to look the group of the six mares.

"Princess Celestia, with all due respect, are you sure about it? I mean, we are-" try to said Twilight but she was interrupted.

"What are you saying Twilight? How hard can be this? Is a piece of cake." said Pinkie Pie excited.

"True, we can let them down now, we can take turns to watch them." said Fluttershy suggesting.

"If I could, I would let them stay at my boutique, but even if I move everything inside my home, there's not room enough for us." said Rarity.

"And I don't think that is a good idea to bring you two to my home either." said Rainbow Dash with a honest laugh as she rubs her neck.

At this moment the five mares got the same idea and look back to Applejack, who doesn't have say anything in this matter yet and now she has a unsure and nervous expression as she take a step back.

"Eh...Girls?" said Applejack almost in shyly tone looking to her friends.

"Applejack at your farm you can take care of them." said Twilight.

"But-" try to said Applejack but she was interrupted.

"And your farm had the enough space for both Liz and Jim." said Fluttershy.

"That's true but-" Applejack again was interrupted.

"If we use the barn and move the things inside in a proper site it could be a great place for them to stay, until their home is ready." said Rarity smiling.

"Maybe but-" try to said Applejack but this time she was abruptly interrupted.

"And we can have a 'temporary home' party!" exclaim Pinkie Pie.

"Girls please." said Applejack in an attend to get the girls her to listen her opinion but then she saw Princess Celestia approaching.

"Then is decided, Applejack, you will be in charge of both Jim Summers and Lizzie Summers for the next weeks until their new house is ready." said Princess Celestia with a warm smile to Applejack.

"I...I..." said Applejack looking to her friends then to the princesses and finally to my sister and I, until finally she sigh in defeated. "I understand, I will do the best I can." said Applejack to the presents.

"Thank you for assist us miss Applejack." said Liz as come closer to Applejack with a bright smile.

"He he, sure, don't worry." said Applejack trying to look away from Liz stare.

Ponyville's outskirts, path to Sweet Apple Acres

After the party, Liz and I help the ponies to clean the mess that was in the town until both Princesses decide to part away to Canterlot at their royal castle. When we finish cleaning the the mess, it was time for us to go to Applejack's farm so we said our goodbyes to Twilight and the rest of the girls as my sister and I go out the town walking closer to Applejack, she remain in silent all the time after we leave the town as she was in front of us, this was becoming too awkward for Liz and I, so I decide to go straight to the point with this.

"Eh, excuse me miss Applejack..." I said making her walk to stop. "Do you want to talk about something?" I said to Applejack looking to her back.

"What do you mean?" ask Applejack without looking to me.

"Miss Applejack...Do you have something bothering you?" I ask to Applejack.

"No." Applejack said in a neutral tone.

"That doesn't seems to be the case..." I said as Applejack turns to look at us, I could tell by looking at her face that she is very upset but she really don't want express her feelings, then I sigh as I said the next thing to say. "Miss Applejack, I can tell that you really want to say something at us, one thing that my dad told me once, that if you don't express how do you feel, you will regret it later." I told to Applejack and my words seems to work in her a she stood there stunned until her feelings finally overcame her.

"I see...You wanna know how I feel? Fine, I will tell you, did you had any idea how hard we work at our farm, pal? Tell me how do you feel when some cheeky thieves come to steal everything that you have been worked and put your heart in it for months?! Of course I'm upset about it, when that happen in my farm I promised myself to find a way to protect it and just at the moment when I found the culprit..." Applejack said pointing her right hoof at me. "I want to bring the rascal to the justice for what he has done, but later I learn that he was just a homeless child that need help, specially my help, I don't know exactly how to feel now. Do I have to be angry at him or I have to feel sorry for him? Is too much for me to think about it!" exclaim Applejack while tears flow on her cheeks as she lower her head looking to the ground sobbing.

"Wow...That's really something that I wasn't expecting." I thought looking to Applejack in that state, feeling guilty I walk closer to her.

"Miss Applejack, I...I'm don't wanna say that I'm sorry..." I said to Applesack who quickly look to me giving me a angry glare that almost make me jump as I gulp. "I mean, that even if I say sorry to you, it won't going to repair the damage that I had done, but if I'm going to live in your farm, could you let me help around to made my amends, if you want to of course." I said to Applejack waiting for her answer.

"I guess is an start." said Applejack wiping her tears, then I smile and extend my arms to her, she looks unsure but in the she comes closer to me and I trapped her in a gentle hug to my chest and we stay like that for a while.

"I'm really sorry for what I done to you miss Applejack." I said to Applejack who look to my face.

"Is ok, you really regret for that...And you haven't said that you don't want to say sorry to me a moment ago?" said Applejack with a smirk.

"In these cases, you have to said your feelings." I replied smiling as I put Applejack down on the ground.

"That's right, while you two be in my care both shall be honest with me ok?" said Applejack with a better mood to us.

"Yes mam." Liz and I said in unison.

"Good, oh yeah, if you two are going to stay in the farm, both of you can just call me Applejack ok?" said Applejack smiling as we nod and Applejack continue at the way to the farm.

"Well done Jim." said Liz smiling to me as she walk away to Applejack and I follow them closer.

After that we continue in the road to Applejack's farm, we finally reach to our destination and we saw Applejack's entire family waiting there. There was a lot of ponies here in this farm and at the moment they saw me, some of them go and hide while others were ready to start a fight with me, thankfully Applejack stop them before this go out our hands...Hoofs? well it doesn't matter anymore, the point is that Liz and I got to meet Applejack's family and she told them our situation and we end up in good terms with them.

With this issue resolved, Applejack's family help moving the things that were inside the barn so it could be a better place for us to stay. Thankfully, with all the ponies present it was a piece of cake, it only took us 2 hours to making the barn habitable for my sister and I, so for the rest of the day, we expend it in socializing with the family members, looks like the majority of the presents ponies were relatives that were going to their respective homes today.

The most important ponies here at the farm that we meet were: Granny Smith, she was Applejack grandmother, the first time I meet her I was expecting that she would have a heart attack the first moment she saw me, but instead she scold me and told me to never steal again, I give credit, she is a tough granny. The second one was Big Macintosh or Big Mac for short, he is Applejack's big brother he was a guy or I should say stallion of a few words, but he seems to be ok with us after we apologize. And finally Applebloom, Applejack's little sister, she seems to be the same age of Liz, she have been avoiding me since I had come to the farm, I think she fear me, something that in her perspective I don't blame her, I just hope that in time we could befriend.

When time from the dusk come, it was time for Applejack's relatives to go, as everyone gathered together including Liz and I at the farm's entrace, were they said their goodbyes, and let the six of us there waving to them as they leave. Then we go back to the farm while Applejack with Granny Smith both go to the house to make the dinner and Applebloom follow then closer, Big Mac instead accompanied my sister and I to the barn to finish the last details in the barn for us. Later on we eat together the dinner outside the house because of my big size and after that, Liz and I go to the barn to sleep.

A few days has passed that we start living in Sweet Apple Acres, Liz had get used to live in this farm, she seems to had befriend with Applebloom as the pair of girls play together, the filly was still a little unsure with me but as the time goes she will be more open with me. Me on the other hand, I had been helping in the farm for what I can do, like carrying the entire float with apples with one arm and go with Applejack at the marketplace in Ponyville.

In that place, Applejack suggets me that Liz and I should enroll to the Schoolhouse of Ponyville, and she was right, even if we don't know how much we stay in this world, we need to learn the common things to live here, sadly, I'm too big to enter at that building, so we go to our last resource, Twilight, we go to talk with her if she could be my tutor and help me to learn the basic knowledge of Equestria, things like how read, how to write and more, Twilight gladly accept my request so after that, Applejack and I go back to the farm and bring Liz with us to enroll her in the school.

When we go to the farm looking for Liz, the three of us return to the town at the Schoolhouse and we meet miss Cheerilee who was the pony in charge and teacher of the school. Miss Cheerilee doesn't have any problem with Liz studying here, in fact she could be first student from another species in the class, Liz after this, she was in her happiness state knowing that she will going to this school and get the chance to meet another ponies of her age.

As the three of us were getting back to the farm, we encounter in the way with Princess Luna, who has come looking for Liz and I to tell us that she has bring the constructors and the enough material to build us a home. Princess Luna show us the blueprints of different designs of houses, since there's could be the posibility that we be living with more ponies than one, we choose the house with the enough space for everyone to live in, then we decide to choose a place in a terrain between the outskirts and the town to built the house, in that way it could be more easy to everyone to come and visit us.

Later on in the next month our new house will be ready for us.

Author's Note

No cliffhanger?...boo. :fluttershysad:

When I was doing this chapter I was assuming that this one would end just like a normal chapter, but at the end it feel more like a ending closing a part of the story. :pinkiesmile:

Now that the issue with Nightmare Moon was over, I think that the time to do time skipping has come, should I add the last episode of the season one before going with the issue with Discord? (With this I'm not saying that I will skip directly to the end of the season) :trixieshiftleft:

With that said, let me know if you liked the chapter and also if I had done any mistakes. :twilightsheepish:

Chapter 6: The life in the farm

Canterlot's royal castle, throne room

Celestia's POV

I was sitting in the throne room after disscussing some issues with the nobles, after the nobles leave I was alone with the royal guards in their post. It had been a few days after we leave Ponyville and got my sister back at my side, I was fill of joy been reunited again with Luna and so proud of my student, Twilight Sparkle for doing such wonderful job in bringing Luna to her old self and finally knowing the mean of the friendship by befriend her friends that she meet in Ponyville, I know it that she will do the right decision.

From the other those pair of siblings were quite a mystery, in the milleniams that I have lived, I never see such of creatures. Being so different of each other but I can feel the bond that they had, just like my sister and I. They also seems to be true about what they had told us about their situation, but the little one, Lizzie, she seems to be hiding something, the moment when I saw her talking to the girls, it was like she really want to talk about something with them, but she hesiate in doing it, I was thinking in talking about this with Luna and see if she can investigate about this siblings in the dream world, I know that this is invading their privacy but I need to know exactly why is that behavior, but again, this is something that Luna and I shall discuss in another time.

And for how to help them to go back to their world, it will take time to do the investigation, the only being in this world that could help in this matter is no other than the infamous lord of chaos, Discord. If he wasn't so mean, he may help, but at moment he will remain sealed in stone until we could find a way to deal with his mischievous and tricking behavior, as for young Liz and young Jim, they would have to wait, I would like to have them here, living in Canterlot, but their decision was to stay in Ponyville and maybe that could be the best option, after seing how my ponies react to them I think I need to make the preparations if they come to Canterlot, the least what we can do right now is support them.

Suddenly a flash appear in the room and my sister Princess Luna was standing there smiling. Luna had go to Ponyville to help in the issue with young Liz's and Jim's house building, it seems that it was succeful by looking to her smile as she walk closer to me.

"Dear sister, the workers with the materials are already in Ponyville, is possible that in a month or less, the house for young Liz and young Jim will be ready for them." Luna said informing me about the situation.

"I'm glad to know that the things are going fine with that issue, how is everypony there? and how are the siblings doing in Ponyville?" I asked to my sister who nod to me.

"The things are ok in Ponyville they seem to be adacting to living with the siblings, as how those two are doing it, they are living fine in the farm for what young Jim has told me, young Liz will be starting going to the school of the town and it seems to be that Twilight Sparkle will be young Jim's tutor for the time been." told Luna to me.

"Those are great news sister, I was thinking in how to get them to visit Canterlot, I think I will invite them to the galloping gala." I inform to my sister.

"That's sound great sis, but don't you think how the nobles would react to them?"said Luna unsure about it.

"I thought in that too, so I will bring them here before the event day and prepare everything for those two and welcoming them, before the Galoping gala begin, in that way the nobles would not react harsh to them." I told to my sister.

"Maybe that could work, the nobles are still unsure about me, I can handle them but I don't think those children could, they already had enough troubles to even give them the harsh treatment of the nobles to the list." replied Luna to with good points about this issue.

"That's true too Luna, but the thing is that we don't know how much they have to stay in this world, if we can't find a solution to send them back to their world, at least we have to give them a place that they could call home in the worst case scenario." I told to Luna who nod in replied.

"I can see your point Celestia, still I can't still find forgiveness in what I had cause to them when I come back as Nightmare Moon." said Luna looking down to the floor.

"What do you mean sis, you still haven't told what happened at that time." I said to my sister preocuppied about her behavior as she walk and take a seat at my side in her throne.

"I remember what happen when I come back that day, I was inspecting the dream world before declaring my return at Ponyville and find the door of the dreams of young Jim, for some reason even with my powers I couldn't enter to his dream, so it caught my attention and I go to their camp in the woods. I treat them, I attacked Jim and even kipnapping young Liz. They already had to bear with the fact of being alone in a new world and I just caused more pain to them, they will never forgive my actions, I don't even know if I even deserve to have the title of princess." said Luna lowering her head in shame as I come stood off my throne and come closer to her.

"Oh Lulu, I didn't know you give them that kind of moments but, at least you are trying to redeem yourself by helping them in their situation, you are taking responsability for your actions, is the best that you can do for now for those two." I told to my sister as she look up to me with tears coming out from her eyes.

"But do you think that they could forgive me? After what I had done in the past, the first thing I do in my return is attacking a pair of innocent children and try to cause the eternal night!" exclaim Luna as she look to me with that sad and concerned expression on her face.

"Thrust is something that could be easily loss, specially if you don't have any kind of feeling of regret in your actions, something that cannot be apply with you Luna, you are really trying to make a better image of yourself, I'm not sure about how those children could react to you but I know that forgiveness is asomething that can be earn by your acts and how are your feelings in them, I'm sure that with time and patience, everypony will know how is your kindness and forgive your past, just like I do sis." I told to Luna who was looking to me smiling with tears coming out her eyes.

"Tia!" exclaim Luna as she jump out her seat to me extending her forelegs and caught me in a tight hug.

"I love you Luna." I simple said with a warm smile as I embrace her with my forelegs too.

"I love you too Tia." replied Luna sobbing.

We both stay like this for a while in our fraternal hug, as the time was passing but this moment of us was suddenly interrupted by a grumbling sound surprising us as my sister look down to my body, I was blushing ashamed as Luna couldn't resist the urge to laught of my embarassing situation.

"What about is we take this conversation with some dessert?" suggest Luna smiling to me as I nod in replied.

With that said, we leave the throne room as both of us decide to look for something to eat while we continue to discuss the issue with the Gala and how we could show young Liz and Young Jim to the public in Canterlot without the nobles trying to complain about them.

Ponyville, Sweet apple acres farm, morning time

Jim's Pov

It was a peaceful morning as I feel the sunlight enter to my "room" that was now the barn of the farm, as I was waking up I slowly open my eyes and let out a yawn as I take a seat on my "bed" made of straw to then scratching my back with my left arm for the itching feeling, it had been almost a week since my little sister and I start to live here in Sweet apple acres farm and already we got experience too much these days.

First there was the applebuck season as Applejack told us, that it was the time for te apples in the farm to be harvest, sadly her brother Big Mac got hurt and she was going to all the work alone and then a accident with with cows doing a stampede in Ponyville occurs and Applejack saves the situation and she was rewarded by her act, but she got more tasks to do while she was doing the harvest as well, she got her hands, or I mean hoofs tied in this situation, in the end Liz and I, along with her group of friends, we help Applejack in these issue and the applebuck season end in a success.

It had been a few days since then. As I woke up I hear the voice of someone coming closer to me, when I look to the entrance of the barn I spot Applejack standing there smiling to me with her dog Winona at her side moving its tail excited.

"Good morning big guy, you should prepare before Twilight gets here for your lessons." said Applejack to me smiling.

"Good morning Apple-ouch!" I exclaim as I trying to get up as when I hit my head with a wood plank of the ceiling.

"Jim are you ok?" said Applejack with a concerned tone as she walk closer to me.

"Yes I'm fine, it doesn't hurt much really..." I said rubbing my head with my right hand, I got hit just in the middle of my horns. "How's everyone, I mean, everypony?" I said correcting myself.

"These ponies pronouns are weird." I thought as I look to Winona coming closer to me and I move my left arm to scratch her head with one finger as she bark happily at me.

"Everypony is fine, granny have finished the breakfast, Bic Mac is getting ready for work and both Applebloom and Liz are preparing themselves for school." replied Applejack.

"Good, let me get ready to reunited with everypony." I said to Applejack who nod to me and leave.

When I was alone, I have to go out the barn crawling cause my huge stature, luckily, Applejack and Big Mac help me cover my needs as I walk to a big butcket filled with water, when I finished washing my face I walk to the house and there was table outside with food on it, my breakfast was ready as I take a seat on the ground in front of the table. Then the front door of the house opened and Liz a long side with Applebloom come out wearing a pair a saddlebags on their sides, I smile to them and greet them.

"Good morning Liz, good morning Applebloom." I said to them.

"Good morning big bro." replied Liz.

"Good morning to you too Jim." said Applebloom to me smiling.

At first, Applebloom and I have a distant relationship since she was scared of me, luckily she befriend with Liz quickly and Liz help her to get more open with me and then she saw that I'm mostly harmless. Now I note that Liz was more happy than the normal, then I ask her.

"Are you ready for your first day on school?" I said to Liz who nod to me.

"Sure! After Twilight's lessons I'm more than ready to start." said Liz excited.

"I'm not sure why are you so excited about going to school Liz, is fun but not that much to be excited" said Applebloom to Liz.

"Well there I can learn more and made new friends." replied Liz giggling.

"I guess..." said Applebloom as she roll her eyes. " Anyway let's go, you don't want to late in your first day right?" said Applebloom to Liz who nod smiling in replied.

The girls said their goobyes to me and leave to school, when I finished my breakfast Applejack comes back to me and I held the dishes back to the house, well, to the front door, my arms barely fit to go inside the house. After that, I start to help in the farm's tasks that I can do, like helping Applejack with the pigs and helping Big Mac by carrying heavy stuff, then 2 hours had already pass and by that time at the entrace of the farm, I spot Twilight coming, smiling as she was walking to were I was as she was carrying her saddlebags, then I walk to her to greet her.

"Good morning miss Twilight." I said to Twilight.

"Good morning to you too Jim, and you can just call me Twilight, I'm not that old enough." said Twilight giggling a little.

"Sure Twilight." I replied.

"So are you ready for your lesson for today?" ask Twilight as I nod to her.

We both go to the table as Twilight get her books out her bags on the table as she look for the one with next lesson for me. Twilight has come yesterday and teach me about the equestrian alphabet and since I don't have a pencil bigger enought for me, todays lesson was about to read a story, again, my huge doesn't help in this situations and I can't handle a book with my hands, so Twilight help by turning the pages with her magic, so she have to seat in my right palm as she levitate the book in front of us. It wasn't so hard to understand since the book that Twilight choose for me was a fairytale with illustrations on it. ocassionally Applejack comes and stay with us for a while before she return to work, and we stay like that for a hour until then.

"So Jim...How is the world were you where living?" ask Twilight curious about it looking at me.

"Eh well, I don't know how to answer that, it looks similar to this world, just without magic and with more technology." I replied.

"Really? How's the technology in your world? can you tell me please?" said Twilight with a wide smile, she was very excited about this topic that she even put down the book.

"Mmmm, we have cellphones, moderns cars, computers, A.I and-" then I was suddenly interrupted by Twilight.

"Wait, whats a A.I?" ask Twilight curious.

"A.I is a term for artificial inteligence, for machines that mimic cognitive functions, one example would be the robots." I told to Twilight.

"Robots? Mimic cognitive functions? Wow Jim, your world sure it has interestings things, hey, don't you can show me how a A.I works? Or how to make one?" said Twilight very interested in this issue about the A.I.

"Eh Twilight I just know the term, I don't know how to actually do something like that." I explain to Twilight as I rub the back of my neck.

"Oh..." said Twilight a little disappointed. "Sorry Jim, I get excited when I hear about things that are unknown." said Twilight to me with a little blush on her face.

"No is ok, I mean, I would probably feel the same as you did." I said I as I laught a bit about the topic.

"Sure..." said Twilight with a better mood as she laught too. "By the way Jim, I didn't have the time to ask this but, you said that you were a human before right? Then what are you now? I never saw a creature like you in any of the books that I had read." said Twilight to me.

"Well...I don't see why I shouldn't tell her." I thought as I look to Twilight's face as I let out a sigh.

"Ok, is a bit tedious but I try my best in explain to you what I am..." I said to Twilight who nod to me as I close my eyes and continue. "I'm what is call a digital monster, or digimon for short, the digimons are creatures that were born in a virtual space that was create by the data of the computers, the digital world. The digimons are beings that grow evolving to increase their powers and abilities, in my case I'm already in my max level of evolution, the ultimate level..." I said then I open my eyes and saw the face of Twilight full of confusion, as she trying to understand what I just told her, I think it was too much information for her. " Eh?...Twilight? Are you ok?" I ask concerned about her.

"Uh? Yeah is just that...Wow, I never I mean...A entire new world made of data? Is so..." said Twilight amazed, trying to find the words for all this topic as I decide to interrupt her.

"Calm down Twilight, let's try to take the things slowly." I said to Twilight who nod to me.

"You are right, what about is we finish the lesson for today? hehehe." said Twilight a little nervous with a little blush on her face.

I agreed with Twilight's decision as she retrive the books of that were on the table back to her saddlebags. By this point Applejack comes back with us and told me that we were going to the market to sell apples, so she ask me to help her carrying the apple carriage, so at this point the three of us depart to the town as Twilight coming with us, in the way Twilight wasn't even talking to Applejack or me, looks like she still processing everything that I have told her a while ago, when the three of us reach to Ponyville, Twilight said goodbye to us and that she will come tomorrow to the farm for the next lesson as she go to her home at the library, while Applejack and I continue our way to the market.

Ponyville's Schoolhouse

Lizzie's Pov

After we go leave the farm, Applebloom and I go to the school, it was a nice morning between the two of us in the way, when we reach to our destination in the class, Miss Cheerilee was waiting for us and greet us, since she was going to introduce me to everypony in the class, Applebloom was told to go first to the classroom as I go and wait in her office and wait until all student enter in the school. When the time comes, Miss Cheerilee comes for me and both of us go the classroom as she first stood there in front of all the students as I stay outside waiting for Miss Cheerilee's sign to enter. I will be honest, at first, I was excited to meet new ponies and possible befriend with them, but now I feel like that time in my 'old' school when I have to do a exposition with my friends in class, at this moment I would lie if I say that I wasn't nervous in this situation.

"Good morning everypony." said Miss Cheerilee greeting all the fillys and colts in her classroom.

"Good morning Miss Cheerilee!" replied the present ponies in unison.

"Good everypony, today I want you all to meet our new student, some of you may already know her..." said Miss Cheerilee as she look to me and nod so I can enter and I walk inside the classroom without looking to the young ponies and stood at her left side. "Everypony I want you to greet Lizzie Summer, she will be our new companion here, she also will be our first interspecies student, I hope everypony here could become friends with her." said Miss Cheerilee smiling as she lift her right arm to to the presents.

"Hi everypony, my name is Lizzie Summer, I'm 8 years old, nice to meet you all." I said introducing myself to everypony as I lower my head for a moment and when I look up to the ponies, they were staring at me with looks of curiosity and some were unsure by looking at me.

"Ok this is awkward." I thought as the rest of the class except for Applebloom were looking me like if I have a bug on me or something.

Author's Note

Well, I'm back from the hiatus...And I feel that is time to do some time skipping already, I was thinking in doing it after the next chapter and go directly to before of Return of harmony begin. :twilightsheepish:

I have read the comments and looks like we got a winner for Liz next evolution, to be honest I was thinking about it and could be quite interesting, I will let everyone to guess what is going to be her perfect lv. :twilightsmile:

I also have a new image ready to change the cover, so it wouldn't be any confusion about if Jim is going to de-evolve at some point, at first, that was going to be the idea but the story changed so much to follow that plan.

I was also thinking in making more short chapters (like more than 2k but I don't know) but anyway, I hope that you like this chapter, let me know if I have done any mistakes. :twilightblush:

Chapter 7: The bullies and the magician

Ponyville, Schoolhouse's playground, morning time

Lizzie's POV

It was a very awkward situation that I had a hour ago, at that time while we were in class, it was so silent that we could even hear the a fly buzzing around, just in ocassions that were another sound in the room and that was when a colt or filly asked to go to the bathroom. Luckily, the recess time had come and everypony including myself, go to the playground while Miss Cheerilee was preparing the next class for after the recess. At that time, the colts were in their own playing their games, while the fillys were talking and some were also playing with the colts. Me on the other hand...Hoof?...Paw? Whatever, I was with Applebloom as we were playing in the sandbox enjoying our game as we were making a sand castle while avoiding talking about the class.

I saw Sweetie Belle and Scootalo playing together at the seesaw as the pair were having fun, I would like to play with them too, but it looks like that they still haven't befriend with Applebloom, it seems that the time for their friendship hasn't come yet. I feel bad about it but my brother told me to not change the things that I know, because it could change the future of something like that, so I follow his words, so for now I have to wait before I can talk to them. As the time pass I feel a presence at our backs, then I turn I saw the pony that I don't want to meet at this moment: Diamond Tiara, a side was her friend Silver Spoon, both looking at Applebloom and me with a smirk on their faces looking for troubles.

"Well well well, looks like this blank flank here has brought her pet dog to school today." said Diamond Tiara with her arrogant tone as she smirk at us.

"Really? I don't even have 2 days here in this school and this annoying filly is already trying to bully Applebloom and me? " I thought upset as I look to Diamond Tiara.

"Will-" I try to said but I was interrupted by Applebloom who walk infront of me looking angry to Diamond Tiara.

"Leave us alone Tiara, can't you see that we are busy here?" said Applebloom getting upset.

"Oh excuse us, we should had know that since you don't have a cutie mark, you would end up to befriend some...Dog, who also can't have one." said Diamond Tiara mocking Applebloom.

"Ok, that's low even for you." I thought more angrier than before.

"Hey! Stop it! Why do you want to mess with us? We didn't do anything to you." I said upset to Diamond Tiara as I let out a low growl.

"Watch out Diamond, looks like isn't trained yet." said Silver Spoon as she look to me as she giggles.

"Ok, that's enough, you want to mess with me? Let's see how you react after I do this." I thought as I was opening my mouth.

I was so angry with these two mean fillies, that I was about to use Puppy howling on them. but just at the last moment a filly walk infront of Applebloom and me looking so angry while she looks to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, this filly has a red mane, amber gray tone on her coat, without cutie mark and was wearing violet glasses, she not only surprise these two bullies but both Applebloom and me too.

"Wait, I know this filly...If she...Twist? The filly that is usually being target by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon on the season one of the show? Why is she here?" I thought confused about this.

"Stop right there, why are you two being so mean with Liz? Is her first day here." said Twist upset in a angry tone.

"Oh come on blank flank, we were just giving a welcome to the new student." said Diamond Tiara with a small smile.

"Yeah, we aren't doing something bad." said Silver Spoon.

"If you two continue like this, I will tell Miss Cheerilee about it." said Twist threatening both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"So what if you tell to Miss Cheerilee? As Silver Spoon said, we weren't doing something wrong here." said Diamond Tiara in a calm tone as she smirks to Twist.

"If I tell to Miss Cheerilee, she will tell to our parents and family about what happened..." said Twist with another threat to Diamond Tiara and she was about to argue, but Twist continues. "And they will come to see if was true." said Twist to Tiara.

A that moment Tiara was about to say something againts Twist words, but then she stops for a moment, thinking about something as she turns to look at to me, at that time I saw her face got pale, I was confused by this reaction of her. then she quickly turns to her back and starts to walk away from us.

"Fine, let's go and play something Silver." said Tiara to Silver Spoon as she walk without turning back at us.

"Eh? Wait...Diamond Tiara!" exclaim Silver Spoon confused as she trots to follow Diamond Tiara behind.

"Good..." said Twist as she turns to Applebloom and me. "Are you two ok?" said Twist with a friendly smile.

"Yeah, thank you for helping us Twist, I was about to hit Tiara on her face." said Applebloom calm while smiling to Twist.

"Well that's explain why I had feel something odd at my side with Applebloom." I thought as I giggle a bit while thinking a image of Applebloom punching Diamond Tiara.

"I saw your hoofs trembling with that intention, if I wont intervene, you would have got into troubles..." said Twist smiling as turns to me. "I'm Twist." said Twist to me as she extend her right hoof to me.

"I'm Lizzie Summers, but you can call me Liz, nice to meet you." I said as I hold her hoof with my right paw greeting her as I smile to her.

"Nice to meet you too Liz." replied Twist to me smiling.

"Hey Twist, do you want to make a sand castle with us?" said Applebloom askin to Twist if she want to play with us.

"Sure!" exclaim Twist nodding as she smile to us.

With that said, we resume our game in the sandbox with now Twist who has join us, as we build sand castles and the three of us enjoy our time together playing and having fun without any annoying filly around to disturb us, until finally our recess was over and we go back to the classroom for the next class. After the classes were over, we said goodbye to Miss Cheerilee and Twist, then Applebloom and I walk together in our way back at the farm to do the homework. And that's how I made my first friend at school in this world.

Ponyville, Market place, day time

Jim's POV

After Applejack and I reached to the market place in Ponyville, as leave the carriage of apples on the ground and then we set the apple stall to start our sellings. The time pass and at first I thought that maybe we couldn't have too many costumers because of my intimidating look, but on the contrary, we got to sell a good amound of apples, looks like these apples are very appreciate by the ponies of this town, well they are delicious I will not deny that. When the noon was coming, it was time for Applejack and I to close our bussiness and return to the farm.

"Maybe Liz and Applebloom were at the farm already." I thought while I was helping Applejack disarming the stall, when it was over and the carriage was ready, Applejack walks to me as I look down to her.

"Here is your part, partner." said Applejack as she look in her saddlebags a give to me a small bag with bits in it.

"But Applejack, this was done by selling your apples." I said to Applejack while I hold the small bag on my right hand.

"Don't be silly big guy, you had help me a lot with the carriage and the stall, it will not be fair if you don't receive a reward for what you had done here helping me." said Applejack with a reassuring smile to me.

"Thank you Applejack..." I replied to Applejack, with that look on her face there was no way to argue with her. "Then, is ok if we go and buy something with it?" I ask to Applejack who nod in replied.

"Sure, but first wait here with the carriage while I buy some stuff ok?" said Applejack to me as I nod and she starts to walk away.

With that said, Applejack go to do some shoppings here in the market as I wait there with the carriage a side of me as I sit on the ground waiting for Applejack to return. After a while Applejack comes back with her saddlebags full, I smile as I stood and lift the carriage with my left arm, while I carry the carriage, I told to Applejack that I want to buy something at the Sugarcube corner, the bakery of the town, when we reach to our destination, at the shop we were greeted by Pinkie Pie from a window, that for what I know, she not only works here but she also lives here, very convenient I should say.

Saddly I can't enter in the bakery, Pinkie has to come outside to take my order and I ask her for a batch a dozen of muffins. And since I can't grab a single coin with my huge fingers, I hand over her my bag of bits for her to take the enough amount to pay my purchase, Pinkie nods and after a moment she took the money needed for the muffins and then she give me back my bag of bits with the rest of the money that was left, she then go back in the backery and after a while, when Pinkie comes back outside and she give me a bag with my muffins in it.

"Thank you Pinkie." I said to Pinkie who nods to me.

"You are welcome dear, say hello to Liz for me." said Pinkie smiling as go back to the bakery.

"Well, I suppose that we can go home now?" ask Applejack with a small smile while she look at me.

"Sure, I'm sure that every-" I was trying to said but I was interrupted.

"Everypony listen, a new unicorn with great powers has come to the town!" exclaim a orange colt with a green mane excited while he runs in the direction of the town square.

"A new unicorn?" I said intrigued.

"What do you say if we take a peek?" Applejack suggest as I nod to her, to be honest I was curious about this new comer.

With that decide, we follow our curiosity and we walk the way to the town square, as we reach to our destination, we found a crowd of ponies gathered infront of a stage and there was standing a azure unicorn mare with a blue pale mane, wearing a magician cape and hat, on the stage where that mare was, random fireworks were shot around. We could see in the crowd Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Spike looking the suppose 'show' as we hear how the unicorn call herself 'the great and powerful Trixie' as she talks in third person for some reason.

"She is kind of...something is it?" I said, being honest I don't know if I should be surprised or a little shame for the way Trixie talks.

"Yeah, wait here Jim, I want go closer to were Twilight and the others are." said Applejack as she took off her saddlebags and handle it over to me as I nod to her.

I watch Applejack go with Twilight and the others as I sit on the ground with the carriage a side of me as I look from this position how this 'show' goes. After a few moments for what I can tell Trixie starts to argue with Twilight's group by saying that she is the greates unicorn in Equestria, of course Twilight's friends don't take this nicely and Trixie challenge the public saying that she can beat any resident of Ponyville in a talent show.

The girls except for Twilight who seem to hesiate about this, accepted Trixie's challenge, the first one to act was Applejack, she was going to use her rope to do a trick, but Trixie use her magic to tie Applejack's legs with the same rope. After seeing this I was about to intervine, but before I could do that, I saw Rainbow Dash take step forward to challenge Trixie, then at that moment Twilight and Spike help to untie Applejack.

Rainbow quickly gathered some clouds and with them she made a mini rainbow, but Trixie use her magic on that rainbow to whirl it into a funnel spiral that end up caught Rainbow Dash in it, she then was drop out of it as she was spinning, leaving her in a dizzy state. By this point I was getting a bit angry, really? If thats suppose to be talent? Messing with the act of your opponent is allowed? Why we don't have a referee here to argue with her actions?

Before I could complain about this 'talent show', Rarity stood infront of Trixie, she told her that she was not going to participate saying that this was all nonesense, finally, someone...I mean, somepony with logic, well that's was I thought, until Trixie decide to insult Rarity's mane...Why do I sense a small feeling of dejavu here? Rarity of course, was upset about this and also accept to challenge Trixie, this time she was going to made a dress with the curtains of the stage, but again, Trixie use her magic on Rarity's mane, turn it into a green slime mess, with a stick and two rats' tails poking out of her mane, after this the poor Rarity was running out the stage crying of the humiliation.

When I look to the stage I note that Twilight was not there anymore, there was just Spike trying to look around for her I assumed, meanwhile Trixie was celebrating her victory laughing. By this point I can't stand her aptitude anymore, I decide to give her a piece of my thoughts and I start to walk to the stage, the ponies around when they look at me they stepped aside so that I could reach to the stage, I saw Applejack and Rainbow Dash looking unsure at me, like if I was about to do something bad to Trixie, Trixie on the other hand...Hoof? Whatever, the point is that she was so distracted that she even haven't note that I was infront of the stage.

"Hey!" I exclaim to Trixie who finally note my presence and she look up to me.

"Wha-wha-what?! Ho-how did a mo-monster got here?!" exclaim Trixie trembling scared with a sight of me as she stepped back.

"Jim is not a monster! He also lives here in Ponyville at my farm!" exclaim Applejack angry as she defend me, I'm thankful with her for that.

"I-I see..." said Trixie looking at Applejack, she then took deep air and exhale to calm down and she looks back at me. "So Jim if it? Is there something that you need from Trixie?" said Trixie to me more relaxed but I can sense that she was still nervous about me.

"Yeah, I want to ask you something, why did you mess out the others acts?" I ask her in all seriousness.

"What? Oh I see, you don't understand right? Let Trixie explain it to you, Trixie's challenge was about that their talents againt's the talent of the great and powerful Trixie." explain Trixie to me.

"But is that fair? I mean, you use your magic againts your opponents talents." I told her my point, but Trixie just giggle a bit with my replied.

"Well Jim, you see, this is talent versus talent and Trixie's talent is the magic, if Trixie's magic beat your talent, then Trixie wins the challenge." replied Trixie proud of her own magic as she put her right hoof on her chest.

"I see." I said looking to her face as she smile.

"She's so full of herself, there's not reason to continue arguing with her." I thought as I turn to look Applejack.

"Can we go home now?" I said to Applejack who nods to me in replied.

After I said this, Trixie just stood there confused, I suppose that she was thinking about how I was so unimpressed with her, but she doesn't even try to argue with me for obvious reasons. Then Applejack and I said goodbye to Rainbow Dash and Spike as we go back to were our carriage was, in the way, I hear Trixie continuing with her 'show' as I hear her said something that she got to beat a ursa mayor, whatever what is that, I don't mind it much, then I lift our carriage and both Applejack and I were walking our way out the town.

It was a silent walk in the way to the farm as I look down to Applejack who was a side of me, she seems upset about what happen in the town with Trixie, I don't blame her, then I look in the carriage with our belongings as I found what I was looking for and look back to Applejack.

"Here..." I said to Applejack as I surprise her with a muffin between my index finger and thumb. "It could help you." I said smiling to her.

"But Jim, these are your muffins." said Applejack to me and I shook my head.

"Is ok, I was going to share these muffins with all at the farm anyway." I said to Applejack offering the muffin to her.

"Thank you Jim..." said Applejack smiling accepting the muffin as she took it in her right hoof. "Still, I'm surprise that you didn't do anything to Trixie at that time." said Applejack taking a bite on the muffin.

"Why would I do that, besides, I think I did pretty much to her when I show myself there at the stage, did you see her reaction when she look at me?" I said laughing a bit, remembering Trixie's face at that moment.

"True, for a moment I thought that you were going to challenge her too." said Applejack giggling a bit.

"Well I would challenge her too in a videogame match, if there was a game console with controls bigger enough for me to use...Damn, this world has arcade games and I can't even play with them." I thought a little disappointed by that last thought.

After that moment when we were making fun of Trixie, Applejack and I get back to the farm as we were welcome by...Everypony, when I let down the carriage, I grab the bag of muffins and shared them with all. Later on we continue our work in the farm, while I help Bic Mac in the hard work, Applejack was in at the apple trees, meanwhile my sister and Applebloom were doing the homework in the house, until the night falls.

The following day, we got to know by Twilight that yersterday at night occurs a incident with a ursa minor, a giant bear made of a starry night sky...Yeah, I don't think too much in how is that even possible. The beast was on the loose, even Trixie was involved in this issue and Twilight took care of the situation using her magic, thanks to her, no one got hurt. In the end the ones who cause this accident were two colts named Snips and Snails, later on, the two were punished by cleaning the mess, Trixie on the other hand has departed, was angry with Twilight for how she got to manage the situation while Trixie couldn't do anything about it.

To be honest I could care less in how Trixie feels, the important thing is that Twilight 'save the night' yesterday. After what Twilight has told us, we continue with the normal routine of the day with me being taught by Twilight, while Liz and Applebloom were at school, these days were so peaceful, I have a feeling that things will get better from now on...How wrong I was.

Author's Note

Uff, new chapter, by this point I had decide to do the time skip, believe me, doing these kind of chapters are rather tiring :ajsleepy:

But until the next one, I will be doing the chapter 2 of my second crossover story with Digimon: A desired paradise :twilightsmile:

I think that having two ongoing stories would be better for me, in that way I wouldn't get mental blocks :twilightblush:

With that said I hope that you had enjoy this chapter, if I have done some mistake, please let know :twilightsmile:

Chapter 8: The party

Ponyville's ourskirts, Lizzie and Jim's house, noon time

Jim's POV

Its have been four months since my little sister and I come to the world of Equestria as digimons, as ridiculous as it sounds, at first I thought that living in a town with ponies of multiple colors would be a strange experience, I wasn't wrong about it, I never expected to know how many troublesome events can occur in this town, like that time when there was a dragon nesting in a mountain that was close to the town or when there was a swarm of strange insects invading this town. Strangely every time something like this happen Twilight and her friends were involved, are they somekind of trouble magnet of something like that? Well asides of those bizarre events, living in this town was peaceful...Well most of the time.

After the first month living in this world, Princess Luna has provide us with our own home, it was builded outside Ponyville, closer to Fluttershy's cottage so we were her neighbors, the house was big enough for me to go inside, I have asked for a simple decoration design, it was like a white manor from the outside, inside the story was different, the house wasn't much bigger in terms of variety like having multiple rooms or something like that, it looks more like an apartment than a mansion.

Our house from the outside has twelve windows and a big door together with a small one for the "smaller" visitors, inside, it has a big hall with normal furniture, a bookshelf and one big sofa for myself, it have four bedrooms, one for Liz, two for the guests and one huge for me. We have the kitchen that sadly I can't use properly asides of warm things and the bathroom, inside the bathroom it has a shower and a bathtub bigger enough for myself, in short terms, the house can cover our basic needs.

One thing that we stop doing were our 'training' with our abilities since we didn't see use to them since we are now peaceful living here in our new home, I just hope that I won't regret about this. Twilight and her friends were taking turns to take care of us as they stay with us in our house. In the mornings Twilight continues to come to our house for teaching me about Equestria until I finally 'graduated' from her lessons, meanwhile my sister go to school and befriend others fillies like Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Twist, along with Applebloom, Liz was enjoying the time of her life with her new group of friends. Me in the other hand, I continuing working at the Sweet apple acres farm with Applejack and her family since I got used working at that place.

Today our plans were different of our new usual routine, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna has invited Twilight and her friends to an event in Canterlot named the Grand galloping gala. My sister and I were invited too, at first Liz doesn't want to go but since there wasn't gonna be nobody or 'nopony' that can stay with us, she will have to go to that party whether she like it or not, me on the other hand, I was curious to go and see how was Canterlot, from what I have heard from the girls, Canterlot was the capital of Equestria and to be honest, I want to see other places too, being in this town can be kind of boring sometimes when there wasn't something crazy happening of course, with that in mind, if we go to that kind of party we need to be ready, so today we go to see Rarity if she can help us to have a presentable appearance for the party.

"So, have you finished your homework already, dear?" asked Fluttershy to my sister.

"Yes Fluttershy, today I have a meeting with my friends at the clubhouse, so I need to have everything ready." Liz replied to Fluttershy smiling.

Today it was Fluttershy's turn to watch us, she already serve us the lunch, since we need to see Rarity she will go to her cottage while we are at Rarity's home. At this moment I was sitting in my sofa reading a book as I wait for my sister, you may be asking how I can turn the pages of a small book in my hand with my huge finger? Well since I can't use magic, I be using a small stick to do that, I never expected that I been using a stick to read a book, then before I know it, Liz and Fluttershy were already a side of me.

"We are ready to go Jim." said Liz to me.

"Very well." I said as I close my book.

I stand off my sofa and the three of us go out the house and walk the way to the town, Fluttershy decide to accompany us to Rarity's home and when were at the door of Rarity's boutique, yes Rarity's house is also her boutique were she work making dresses. Liz then go to knock the door, it doesn't take too much time when we hear the voice of Rarity coming from her home, not short after, Rarity come out and greet us.

"Oh? Liz, Jim and Fluttershy, how nice to see you all." said Rarity to us with a smile on her face.

"Nice to see you too Rare, I hope that we aren't interrupting your work." said Fluttershy to Rarity.

"Not really, what did bring you all here?" ask Rarity to us.

"Well, you remember that we all got invited to the gala right?..." I said as Rarity nod in replied. "The thing is that we need your help if you could make us clothes for Liz and me for that party, if that's ok for you." I said to Rarity.

"I see..." said Rarity rubbing her chin with her right hoof. "First I need both of your measures, wait here I go for my stuff." said Rarity as she going back to her home.

"Wait Rarity, is Sweetie Belle at home now?" said Liz smiling to Rarity.

"Yes she is here, what do you say if you go and play with Sweetie while I taking your brother's measures? I will call you when I finish with Jim ok?" said Rarity to Liz who nod smiling.

My sister then enter with Rarity to her home, after a while Rarity comes back with a notebook and a centimeter around her neck. With Rarity here, Fluttershy decide to go back to her cottage and say goodbye to Rarity and told me to go to her cottage after we finish our business here with Rarity, sshe told me that she need my help for something, then after Fluttershy leave us, Rarity start to take my measures, I have to lie down my body on the ground to make it easier for Rarity to do her job. It took around 30 minutes but Rarity finally finished taking my measures, she then call my sister and Sweetie Belle as both go out the boutique and she told us that it was Liz turn to take her measures, she could do this inside her home but she doesn't want to leave me alone here outside, this time it doesn't took her much, then she turns to look at me.

"Everything is ready dear, just try to come back here in these days and I get for both of you a nice suit and cute dress ready." said Rarity to me.

"Good, if you need more material you can tell me, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia told us that if we need something we could ask for their help." I told to Rarity who nods to me.

"Ok dear, but don't worry about it, even with clothes at your size I can make it without problems." said Rarity as she giggles.

"I see, thank you again for your help." I said as I nod to Rarity.

"Yeah, thanks Rarity." said Liz to Rarity smiling.

"So, now that is everything is ok, is ok if Liz and I go to the clubhouse sis?" ask Sweetie Belle to Rarity.

"Sure dear, but both of you, don't come too late home ok?" said Rarity to both Sweetie Belle and Liz.

"The same I say, Sweetie Belle, after you two come back from the clubhouse, can you accompany Liz to our house please? I'm gonna go to Fluttershy's cottage so I wouldn't be able to go to the farm today." I told to the girls.

"Sure, don't worry about it Jim." said Sweetie Belle as she nods to me.

"We will come late afternoon." said Liz with a smile.

"Good, say hello from my part to everypony at the farm." I said smiling as both girls nod.

With that said, Liz along side with Sweetie Belle walk their way to the sweet acres farm leaving Rarity and I behind, then I said goodbye to Rarity as I was leaving too and later on, I was on my way out the town to go to Fluttershy's cottage. After a while of me walking, I was in front of Fluttershy's home, I extend my right arm and with the tip of my index finger I knock the door, a few moments later, the door is opened and Fluttershy come out and look at me smiling.

"Oh you're here Jim, did you and Liz finish your business at Rarity's house?" Fluttershy asks me and I nod in response.

"Yes, now what you have told me before, do you need my help for something?" I ask to Fluttershy who seems to be unsure.

"Well dear, you see, I was having some troubles, well not me, my little friends, they well..." said Fluttershy nervous for a moment until she look to the ground and took a deep breath to calm down to look back at me. "Jim, as you should know, few days ago, a heavy rain occured and some of my forest friends got homeless since their homes were destroyed by the rain and there are also some fallen trees too, I would like if you could help us clean the mess around, please?" asked Fluttershy to me.

"I see, don't worry, I will help you with that." I said to Fluttershy with a smile accepting her request.

"Oh thank you so much Jim." replied Fluttershy smiling to me.

With that said, I follow Fluttershy to the forest to help her in her issue, after a while walking in the woods, we both reached to the site that Fluttershy told me before that it need to be clean and she was right, there was braches everywhere with fallen trees around and here was some animals too, they were trying to clean the mess of their homes. Both Fluttershy and I get down to work, while I was doing the heavy work, she was working with the braches and got the help of the animals around, of course they were fearful of my presence, but thanks to Fluttershy ability to understand the animals, she talk with the animals and got to convinced them that I was here to help them.

And with the extra help we finished cleaning the mess that was in the forest, we even build new shelters for some animals with the materials that were around the place. The animals were joyful with their new homes as they thank us for helping them, after that, Fluttershy and I go back to my home to rest and later on, the dusk was coming and Liz had come back from the crusader's clubhouse before it turns too dark, she told us how she spend the day playing with her friends. After that Fluttershy prepared the dinner for all us, there wasn't meat of course and that can be a shame for Liz and I, it wasn't bad but we would like to eat something with more protein, I will ask later to Liz if she would like to do a little "escape" to the lake in this days. When we finished our dinner, each one of us got prepared to sleep in our respective rooms, I lay down on my bed as I close my eyes and my mind was entering in the world of dreams.

I don't know where I'm right now, for what it looks, it seems to be that I'm in some kind of forest, I can also see the light of the sun comes from between the branches from the treetops, I can't move on own, my body was moving own his on as I walk thru this forest but I wasn't alone eighter, when my neck moves down to my right I was surprised for what I saw at side me...A Mistymon, a perfect level swordsman digimon was walking a side of me in this forest, this was so bizarre, but since is a dream, I try to not mind it much.

The Mistymon looks up to me smiling, his mouth was moving but it doesn't come any sound of it, but it looks that I understand what Mistymon said to me because I nod to him. After a while, It seems that we have reached to our destination, in front of us were some trees a bushes a behind them I can see the bright light of the sun illuminating that place, Mistymon and I walk a bit further and I with my arms I move the bushes a side, at this point I noted by looking to my purple arms that I was still Cherubimon Vice, when the two of us entered to that place I noticed that we were now at a forest clearing, there was even a lagoon, but what surprised me the most, was the fact that in this place, were more digimons here.

There was a Centalmon sitting on the ground watching three Bakumons playing together, a Goatmon that was drinking water at the lagoon, two Kudamons were chatting, a Fairimon was helping a couple of Burgamons cooking and a Hanumon showing his muscles to a group of Tokomons like if he was motivating them for training. This was a incredible sight for those who had watch the anime or know about Digimon, from my perspective, I didn't have enough time to be amaze with this, because at the moment I was at the sight, everyone stop their activities to look at my direction, I feel nervous with all the eyes watching at me but my right arm moves on its own greeting everyone, then everyone present approached to me and they greet me as well with joy, it was weird, I wasn't supposed to be a evil digimon? Why these guys are so friendly with me?

After they greet me and Mistymon, the group of digimons were preparing the food and we all reunited sitting in a circle on the ground as we all peaceful enjoy this moment, then when the Fairimon was flying to me with a drink in her hands to give it to me, I suddenly stopped my arm before I was about to holding it, like if it I had feel that something was wrong. Suddenly, a object that looks like a flame sphere, fells from the sky at high speed to us in the center of our circle, causing a explosion in the instant it touch the ground sending everyone fly away into different directions, some crashed into trees and others tru the bushes, at this moment I was crouching, when my eyes opened I look down my body and saw that I have protected the Fairimon and other small digimons of the group.

When I stand up, I noticed that the explosion from earlier has started a fire in this part of the forest, I look for the the digimons that had recovered from the explosion and I extend my left arm to them and move it to other direction, like If I told them to find a safe place. When I turn to other direction I saw Mistymon running to me with his sword in hand I saw him moving his mouth saying something to me, I can see his body with burns that he have suffered from that explosion from before, but just in a fraction of a second, a big object fells in a incredible speed and crashed on Mistymon provoking a smoke screen in the place, when the smoke dissipated, it shows in front of me a big winged and horned creature, it was covered in darkness and was standing in a small crater when a moment ago was Mistymon, then I saw outside the crater in the ground the sword of Mistymon, that was only thing left of him, my mind for some reason was full in rage with this sight and then my body moves on its own, and I launch myself against this monster to attacking it, the monster do the same as me and go against me with the same speed as me, but a few seconds before we collide to each other, I finally heard a voice.

"Heaven's Judgement!" I heard my voice exclaim, a moment after saying those words, everything turns white.

I jump on my bed surprised, I was panting and also sweating, I took a seat a side of my bed as I put my hands on my knees while breathing deeply as I try to calm down. When I was more relaxed, I stand off my bed and I walk out my bedroom, I try to not make any sound when I was walking to not wake up Fluttershy or Liz, I was going to the kitchen to do something to eat and help me to relax, when I was there I go to the fridge and got some milk and a snack, after I prepared warm milk I go out to the living with everything in my hands and I took a seat on my sofa, then I look up to the ceiling, thinking in what I just dreamed.

"What that heck I just dreamed? It was weird and it also felt so real, the last time I have a dream like this was...When I was meditating at the forest, but why now" I thought as I took a sip of my milk.

"Heaven's judgement?...If I remember, that is-" I try to said but I was interrupted when I heard a voice calling me.

"Jim? Is that you out there?" said Fluttershy as I heard her from behind in her usual quite tone.

"Yes I'm here Fluttershy." I replied as I turn to look at Fluttershy who flies closer to were I was.

"Why are you awake this late of the night?" ask Fluttershy in a concerned tone as she was flying a side of my right looking at my face.

"Did I wake you up?..." I said as I lift my hand with the snacks to Fluttershy. "I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention." I said to Fluttershy as I offer her some of my snacks and she take one.

"Is ok dear, did something happened?" ask Fluttershy as she took a bite of her snack.

"Well...I think I had a bad dream." I said to Fluttershy.

"A bad dream? Did you have a nightmare Jim?" ask Fluttershy to me concerned.

"I wouldn't call it a nightmare, is just that what I dreamed it felt real." I told to Fluttershy.

"Would you want to talk about it with me?" ask Fluttershy to me.

"No..." I said in replied to Fluttershy and I noticed how she lowers her head and now she looks sad with my answer. "No no Fluttershy, please don't take it bad, is not that I don't want to tell you about my dream, is just that is hard for me to explain, I still trying to understand what I saw in my dream." I quickly said to Fluttershy to not made her upset anymore.

"I see, don't worry about then dear, but it was really that bad?" ask Fluttershy to me, now she a bit more calm.

"Yeah, it was so real but at the same time it felt unreal." I told to Fluttershy as I eat one of my snacks.

"Mmmm...Maybe you should talk this with Princess Luna when you have the opportunity." said Fluttershy with a small smile to me.

"Princess Luna? What do you mean?" I ask curious to Fluttershy.

"Oh yeah, I think that you don't know the details, I mean, you know that Princess Luna protect us at night right?..." said Fluttershy to me as I nod to her. "Well, she does this by guarding the dreams of everypony, preventing them to turn into nightmares." explain Fluttershy to me.

"But that is not, you know...Invading privacy?" I ask to Fluttershy who immediately became a bit nervous with my question.

"Eh?...Well...Is not like that...She only come to the dreams when they become nightmares, so I don't think she will go and look our normal dreams, right?" said Fluttershy a bit unsure in her words.

"Right...Tell you what Fluttershy, let's finish these snacks so we can go back to sleep, ok?" I said to Fluttershy changing the topic and she nods to me with a smile.

After that, Fluttershy and I finished eating the snacks and we return to our respectives bedrooms to continue sleeping, luckily I didn't have other dream like the one I had this night as I peaceful sleep until the sun of the new day rises and I continue with my usual routine, living here in Ponyville.

Canterlot, Canterlot's royal castle, night time

Lizzie's POV

It have been a while, various months to be exact, I'm have been living the best time of my life as I'm here in Equestria and meeting the characters of my favorite show as I befriend with them, the first weeks were a bit bad for me since I'm still missing my parents, but with my big brother here with me is making the things more easy to me. JJim has been working hard in Ponyville at the Sweet acres farm, I think he wants a distraction of all of this that is happening to us, when we received the invitation to the grand galloping gala, I was telling to Jim to decline the invitation since I know what was going to happen at that party, but he told me that this was the perfect oportunity to do something different and meet new places, so I can't argue with him in this issue.

The day has come and the two of us, along side with Twilight and her friends, we were earlier in the morning waiting at the train station to go Canterlot, then a train reached to the station, it was sent by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and this train has a special wagon for us, well for Jim to be exact, with his huge body he can't go in a normal wagon. When we have reached to Canterlot we were recieve by a group of royal guards and Princess Celestia herself at the train station of Canterlot, there were also a big crowd of ponies, some have cameras and when my brother and I come out the wagon they start to take pictures of us, from what I know, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna both do a announcement about Jim and I, so the ponies in Canterlot know about us and since we were going to the gala, I think we are a good premise for the newspapers in this place, I just hope that they don't say anything bad about us. after that Princess Celestia calm down the crowd and we all go to the castle.

When we were at the castle, there was a room prepare for us, at that time Jim and I were resting from the trip of the train, the girls has others things to do in Canterlot so we wouldn't be able see each other until the night time at the party, Princess Celestia while she was going to do some business relate to the gala, she let some maids in charge of our needs and for if we want something, so for the rest of the day we spend the time together in that room.

Later that night, we both prepare for the gala, I was wearing a cute light pink dress with a skirt that a bit long, it has golden ornaments and I has on the top of my head a white tiara, Jim told me that I look like a puppy princess, Jim was wearing a nice green suit with a hat, these clothes were prepare by Rarity and with Twilight's help, they both used magic on Jim's suit so that the fabric can be stretchable, we were very grateful with the pair for making these clothes for us.

AAt the gala, we were joined with everypony as we were received by Princess Celestia, the girls, as I already know, have some bussines in this party while Jim and I were in the gardens outside the building where the Gala was been celebrate, we can go inside but Jim noticed the ambience with the nobles and he told me that it would be better if we to stayed at the garden and I agree with him, here in the garden we have a nice view as we were accompanied by the moonlight and of course, we were served properly, before Princess Celestia leave us she prepared a big table with food, snacks and drinks for us while she have some issues to attend in the Gala and she told us that she will comeback to us when she was finished, so for the moment is only Jim and me sitting together while enjoying the food of the table.

"Maybe you were right sis..." said Jim as he take a snack and eat it. "These nobles doesn't seem to be...Quite nice I think." said Jim to me.

"I told you, is not that all the nobles are bad is just that..." I said as I took a cookie of the table."For the most of the ones that are gathered here are in their own issues." I said to Jim.

"I see..." said Jim taking a drink in a glass that big enough for him to use. "Liz...Do you been having, weird dream usually?" ask Jim to me.

"Huh? Well I'm been sleeping well, I didn't been having any weird dream than the usual, why do you ask?" I ask curious about Jim's question.

"I see, is just that I been having very strange dreams." replied Jim as he took another snack of the table.

"What kind of dreams do you had?" I ask to Jim

"I don't know how I can't explain them to you, but, they seem..." said Jim a bit concerned as he scratch his head, "Like if I'm being controlled" said Jim to me.

"Eh?" I said confused by my brother's words.

"Well is not like I'm being controlled in those dreams, but the things I saw are very weird." said Jim to me.

"Mmmm...Maybe you should talk about this with Princess Luna." I told to Jim who nods to me.

"Yeah, Fluttershy said the same to me, that's quite of unbelievable that Princess Luna can enter into the dreams, but after everything we had been experienced...Well I kind can expect the unexpected right now." said Jim laughing a bit.

"Well living in a world with magic can make everyone think like that." I told to Jim as I smile to him.

For the next half hour, my brother and I remain here at the garden enjoying our time together, the girls seems to be busy since they hasn't even come to see us, I think that they are working really hard to have fun in this party, but in reality I already know that they are trying their best to enjoy this party while enduring the awful treatment. Before we could know it, Jim and I heard the sound of flappings wings approaching to us, when we turn around to the direction of the sound we found that Princess Luna has come to visit us here at the garden.

"Good evening, young Liz, young Jim." said Princess Luna smiling to us.

"Good evening to you too Princess Luna." I said with a cheering smile to Princess Lune who smiles to me

"Good evening Princess Luna, is nice to see you." replied Jim with a calm smile as he lower his head to Princess Luna.

"Is nice to see both of you too, how are you two have been spending this night?" asked Princess Luna to us.

"It have been nice so far, but we were expecting to have some company, the girls are all busy right now to come here with us." said Jim as he took a drink of the table.

"I see, good thing then that I took a break of my night schelude to come here and talk with both of you." said Princess Luna to us as she giggles a bit.

After that, Princess Luna join us here in the garden as the three of us watch the starry sky of the night, Princess Luna told us that she stay with us for a a while because she has to get back to her work, guarding the dreams of everyone and everypony. When she talk about this topic, Jim took the opportunity to talk about his strange dreams and the weird experiences he is having with them, he told to Princess Luna if she can do something about since she has the power over the world of dreams, but she in replied shakes her head slowly to us.

"I'm sorry to say this to you Jim but I can't watch in your dreams or Lizzie's dreams." said Princess Luna to us.

"What? Why is that Princess?" I asked to Princess curious about this.

"Well...For some reason, even with all my power over the dreams, I can't enter into yours dreams, is like is a powerful barrier is blocking both your minds." explained Princess Luna to us.

"I see, that's quite incredible, why do we have barriers in our dreams?" I asked to Princess Luna wondering about this issue.

"That's something that even I don't know." said Princess Luna to us.

"Now that you mention that Princess Luna, when we first meet Nightmare Moon, she told us something similar when she said that she was trying to invade my dream." said Jim putting his right hand under his chin as he was looking down to the table.

"Ye-yeah, that was very...Mean from her." said Princess Luna not very enthusiast about the topic as she looks down to the ground with an ashamed expression on her face.

"Huh?..." said Jim as he looks to Princess Luna sudden change in her mood. "Are you ok Princess Luna?" asked Jim concerned of Princess Luna.

"Eh? I..." said Princess Luna now looking nervous as she turns her head around like if was trying to find a escape route, but she stops and quickly calms down, then she took a deep breath and turns up to look at my brother. "Jim, I have something very important to tell both of you..." said Princess Luna to us in a serious tone as she was looking at us. "Liz, Jim...I was...Nightmare Moon." declared Princess Luna to us, I already know that, but when I turn to see Jim he looks a bit shocked by this news.

"Pardon?" asked Jim to Princess Luna a little unsure.

"2 milleniams ago, I was jealous of my sister who got all the praises from our subjetcs during daytime while at night I got non, then I end up becoming corrupt as I succumb to the darkness, then I become Nightmare Moon and I started a rebellion against her to overcome her and bring the eternal night to Equestria, I eventually got defeated and my sister was forced to seal me in the moon, but after all those centuries I was finally free and the first thing I did was trying to bring the eternal night again, then I meet you two...I deeply regret the actions that I had take with you two but still, those wrong doings can't be forgive." said Princess Luna now in tears looking at us.

"Is ok Princess Luna...Nopony or us got hurt right?" I said with a forced smile to Princess Luna, I iknow that it wasn't her fault but the situation make me feel uncomfortable.

"Young Liz, when I was Nightmare Moon, I kidnapped you and hurt your brother, after that I blackmailed him to stop Twilight and her friends..." said Princess Luna to me still looking at me with regret then she turns to look at Jim. "And I did that without knowing that he was still a young colt, Jim, you have every right to punish me if you wish for." said Princess Luna as she walks to my brother in front of him then I saw Jim's face.

"Wait, I know that look, Jim use that look on me everytime he knows I did something bad and then, he scolds me badly and later he tell to mom what I did and I get even more scolded, if he scolds Princess Luna he maybe get into troubles..." I thought worried looking at my brother and Princess Luna and I saw his right arm trembling. "Wait, Jim, you are not actually going to punch Princess Luna right? You can't do that Jim you may squash her and hurt her badly!" I thought worried as the nervous were making me sweat.

"Jim don't-" I try to said but I was interrupted when I saw Jim open his mouth and I fear for the worst.

"Is ok Princess Luna, I forgive you." said Jim looking to Princess Luna with a calm smile on his face.

"What?!" said both Princess Luna and I in unison surprised by Jim's words.

"But-but Jim, I did something horrible to both of you when I was Nightmare Moon, I don't deserved your forgiveness." said Princess Luna to Jim, ashamed for her wrong doings of the past.

"Exactly, that was when you were Nightmare Moon, so technically speaking, it wasn't entirely you to begin with it and also, you have been doing a great job doing your amends, without your support, we haven't been able to live the way we are right now, I really appreciated the help that you have been giving to us for all this time since we had been here living in Equestria. " said Jim lowering his head to Princess Luna.

"Young Jim..." said Princess Luna still astonished by Jim's words. "I really don't know what to say after hearing you say that to me." said Princess Luna in tears, by her face, I can say that she is trying to find something to say to my brother.

"In that case then don't be..." said Jim as he grab some of the snacks on the table and handle it over to Princess Luna. "Let's enjoy this moment together, here the three of us with the light of the moon." said Jim offering the snack to Princess Luna who now has a shocked expression on her face.

"..." Princess Luna was in silent for a moment looking at my brother until finally she regain her composture and wipe her tears. "Yes, you are right...Thank you so much, young Jim." said Princess Lune accepting the snack of my brother's hand.

"That's not fair Jim!" I exclaim upset looking at Jim.

"What's the matter Liz?" said Jim as he and Princess Luna were looking at me confused.

"Is not fair Jim, when I do something bad I get scolded but if Princess Luna 'did but don't did' something bad is ok? That's so unfair from you!" I yell at Jim upset as I grumble and crossing my arms, I know that I should be happy about for Princess Luna, but the sudden change of my brother for her, it made me angry and jealous about it.

Both Princess Luna and my brother look to each other for a moment and then they start to laugh about my sudden tantrum making me blush embarrassed and angry at them. Then my brother extend his right arm to me and gently rub my head with one finger as he was smiling to me.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry, I will do something for you when we get back at Ponyville ok? Can you forgive me?" I heard Jim said this to me and I look at him still upset and I sigh.

"Fine I forgive you, but it better be something nice." I said a bit upset as I look up to Jim who was still smiling to me.

After saying that both Princess Luna and my brother were laughing about my reaction and I was getting a bit angry but I eventually join to them as the three of us were laughing together. Later on the girls finally reunite with us here at the garden to enjoy the rest of the party together, sadly Princess Luna has to continue her work of the night, guarding the dreams, so she has to leave earlier, Princess Celestia was the last pony we got to see before the gala was over, she was too busy to be with us and she was sad about it, but since we were gonna stay here in the castle until tomorrow after noon, we will have plenty of time to talk together. The next day after the lunch, we all were at the train station to go back to Ponyville with Princess Celestia and a bit drowsy Princess Luna, when we say goodbye to each other, the girls and us boarded the wagon of train and we were on the way back to Ponyville, in the end the gala was not a bad experience.

Chapter 9: The dark mind

Ponyville, Jim and Lizzie's house, morning time

Jim’s POV

It have been a few months after the events with the gala party in Canterlot, our relationship with Princess Luna improved a lot. After the revelation that she gave to me and Liz that she was Nightmare Moon, I'm not going to lie to you but I was very angry with her at the time, but I can't stay mad with Princess Luna, after thinking about everything that she has done for me and my sister since we started living in Ponyville, the past is the past so I forgave Princess Luna and to be honest after doing that I I felt a lot better with myself.

Our days in Ponyville were still 'normal' within the parameters of being with Twilight and her friends, I do still work at Sweet apple acres, after doing it for so long I got used to farm life while helping Applejack's family while Liz still goes to school receiving Miss Cheerile's classes along with her group of friends.

Speaking of which, I heard that they have a tour in Canterlot to visit a specific historical site, like a museum exhibition I think, Liz unfortunately would not be part of that trip, Liz fell ill with a fever and is now bedridden. Today was the said day for the excursion trip to Canterlot and Liz was lamenting for not being able to go, she was being attended by Fluttershy who was her turn to take care of us.

I was in the living room reading a book while relaxing, meanwhile Fluttershy took care of my sister who was resting in her bed. Unexpectedly, I heard someone knocking on the door of our home, shortly after I got up and went to the door, when I opened it I ran into Twilight accompanied by Spike.

"Good morning Twilight, Spike, what brought you guys here today?" I ask to my friends with a small smile.

"Good morning Jim, we stopped by to see if Fluttershy was here." Twilight said to me smiling.

"She is here, come in." I said nodding as I gave way for Twilight and Spike to enter in.

As soon as Twilight and Spike entered, I lead them to the living room and then I called Fluttershy who show up moments as she flew to us and stopped next to me in front of Twilight and Spike.

"Good morning Twilight, Spike, did something happen?" said Fluttershy with the pair.

"Well yes, you see, I received a letter from Princess Celestia, who is calling us and the rest of the girls to meet her at Canterlot, saying that it was very urgent matter." Twilight said informing Fluttershy what happened.

"Oh my, nothing bad happened right?" Fluttershy asked to Twilight with a concerned tone.

"I hope not..." Twilight said to Fluttershy, she then turned to me. "Jim, while we're going to Canterlot, Spike will stay here with you two okay? If something happens, don't hesitate to send a letter with him.” Twilight said to me.

"Sure Twilight." I said nodding to Twilight.

"Spike, Liz is recovering from the fever and she just needs to rest, before I left I will leave everything ready just in case, okay?" Fluttershy said to Spike.

"Don't worry about this Fluttershy, Twilight, we'll be fine while you girls are in Canterlot, leave this matter to me." said Spike proudly to Fluttershy and Twilight.

"But isn't Spike a baby dragon? Do that still make him ok to watch us?" I thought as I pondered about our dubious situation with our 'babysitter'.

"Okay, we are counting with you Spike." Twilight said to Spike who was nodding in replied to her.

After this, Twilight stayed in our home until Fluttershy finished preparing everything for Liz in case if she needs something. Some time later both mares left to look for the other girls to go to Canterlot and attend the meeting with Princess Celestia, leaving me and Liz at home with Spike in charge of us.

Spike is a good friend of us, technically, despite being a baby dragon he is older than me, something that surprised me when I heard about it and there have been times when he handle the things in a rather mature way. While we waited for the girls to return as my sister was still resting, Spike and I spent some time playing table role-playing games to not make noise that could disturb Liz, it was quite fun playing these kinds of games with him, he put his vibe into the game.

After finishing the game, we checked that Liz who was still asleep, that she completely recovered from her fever, probably she gets up with alot of energy. However, I wanted to give my sister a gift for her recovery, so I came up with the idea of going to the lake, I asked Spike for permission to go out to bring something for Liz, of course without really saying where I was going, to my luck Spike accepted as long I don't stay too much time outside and after a few moments, I left the house in the direction of the lake.

Ponyville, noon time

An hour had passed since I was at the lake which I was fishing for some fish for Liz, today I tried to do it in a more traditional way, I took a rope and using a tree that have the ideal figure for the job and made a fishing rod, I didn't have tallow and I sat at the shore of the lake while holding my fishing rod and with difficulty I barely manage to caught one small fish.

"Grrr...I should have rather used my own method." I said irritated seeing my only catch of the day next to me.

I didn't want to waste my time here on the lake anymore, so I tied the only fish I caught with a rope and left my fishing rod hidden in a safe place among the trees near the shore. After this, I began my walk to go back home before Fluttershy returns from Canterlot and find me on the way carrying a fish, knowing her, I don't think she would like to see me doing this.

I made my way past Fluttershy's cabin carrying the fish I caught on my back as I walked down the path. Strangely I saw a somewhat grayish but very familiar white figure of a mare further down the road, it looks like that to be that she is pushing something that seemed to be a huge rock bigger than herself, then I finally recognized that she was Rarity when I heard her voice laughing a little strangely, so I decided to go with her to say hello.

"Hi Rarity, I see you're back from Canterlot, huh, what are you doing?" I asked Rarity a little surprised to see her push that rock.

"Jim? Well, here I am, taking this huge and beautiful diamond to my house, it is so precious.” Rarity said to me while looking at her 'huge diamond' while she caressed it, in fact the way she referred to it reminded me a bit of Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

"I-I see, don't you want me to help you carry your 'diamond' back to your home?" I said to Rarity being polite despite my friend's strange situation, however she didn't seem to like this as she turned to me and seemed very angry.

"NO! It's mine! I don't want you to come near to it, did you hear me?!..." Rarity exclaimed furiously at me and surprising me in the act, she then turns again with her 'diamond'. "Is mine and just mine." Rarity said embracing the 'diamond' with her body while she laughed strangely.

"I-I understand, I'll see you later." I said astonished by Rarity's sudden reaction as I walked briskly away from her.

I don't understand what was happening with Rarity and for why she was hugging that rock, on top of that she yelled at me when I offered my help, I know Rarity and she is not like that. While I was walking and Ithinking about what was happening to Rarity, I noticed that I was coming to the crossroads to Ponyville and I could see that from the direction that goes to the town, I observed Applejack walking and she seemed to be heading to Sweet apple acres, at that moment I decided to approach her, maybe she knows what is happening to Rarity.

"Applejack!..." I yelled from my position as I waved to Applejack with my right arm as I approached to her. "Is good to see you, tell me, do you happen to know what happened with Rarity?" I asked to Applejack who I then noticed her a little gray in fact.

"Nope." Applejack said wto me.

"Huh? Applejack are you sure? Rarity is acting weird." I told to Applejack who seems nonchalant about Rarity's issue.

"Strange? She's fine, Jim." said Applejack to me but there was something strange in her tone.

"Okay..." I said surprised so I change the subject. "Do you know where Twilight and the other girls are?" I asked to Applejack.

"Twilight and the others are still in Canterlot." Applejack answered to me with the same tone.

"Oh really? I thought that you guys would come back together." I told to Applejack.

"Just me and Rarity come back, Twilight and the others stayed to live in Canterlot." Applejack replied to me as if it were nothing what she just told me.

"How is that?" I asked to Applejack with a concerned tone.

"Is the truth, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to visit Cloudsdale, see you." said Applejack to me as she continued on her way to Sweet apple acres.

"But you're on your way to your farm." I said puzzled to Applejack.

"I said that." Applejack said to me as she walked away.

"It can not be true? Applejack is…Telling lies?” I thought worried seeing Applejack walking in the direction to her farm.

I don't have the slightest idea of what is happening, first Rarity acts strange and now, even though is hard for me to believe it, but Applejack, the pony I've known for so long who hates lies, was lying, something is not right here. At that moment when I was pondering what had happened, I turned around to see the path that follows to Ponyville, I was stunned with was now in front of me, Ponyville was head to toe, floating houses, clouds with brown rain and even birds flying upside down and that was just with what I can see from my position, I can't imagine the rest of Ponyville, from the shock I dropped my fish to the ground, what the hell was going on there?

"Did all the unicorns in the town got drunk and agree to cast random spells?..." I thought as I was watching at the mess that was now Ponyville.

"Well in one way or another, I won't find the answer here, I better investigate what is happening." I said starting my walk in the direction to Ponyville.

It didn't took me long to enter in Ponyville, or maybe I should say 'Randomville'? It didn't seem like the pony town I've been knowing from a long while, very few things reamained the same of it. After walking for a while and arriving at the now changed towncenter, the place where the mayor usually gives her announcements, there I began to feel impatient so I decided to do what perhaps anyone would have done in my place.

"Rainbow Dash!..." I yelled calling Rainbow, despite what Applejack told me, I know that she was lying, I feel that my friends did returned from Canterlot and they might be nearby. "Fluttershy!..." I yelled again but as with Rainbow there was no response. "Pinkie Pie!" I called Pinkie and the truth never expected that she did not answer my call. "Twilight!..." I yelled for Twilight but there was no response from any of my friends. "Where are the girls?" I said looking down feeling alone.

"Well, well, but what do we have here?" said a male voice that I never heard before.

Then I began looking for the owner of that voice until.

"Down here big guy..." said the voice again and when I looked down there was no one. "Oh what a fool of me, I mean upstairs." He said to me while he let out a slight laugh.

When I looked up, I was surprised, I saw a strange creature that seemed like a mixture of various animals, like a deformed chimera with wings and was... Sitting on a floating chair in front of table that was also floating with a tea set with cookies while looking down at me with a smile on his face with his yellow eyes with red pupils.

"Who or what are you?" I asked to him astonished with this being.

“Where are my manners? I am a draconequus, Discord, lord of chaos." Discord said smiling at me as he sipped his tea... With his right eye, I could see how he drank the liquid using his eyeball.

"Draconequus?" I said to Discord confused while looking at him drinking his tea in such bizarre way.

"That's right, now that I've told you my name, wouldn't you mind telling me yours?" Discord said to me while he eats a cookie, in a normal way at least.

"I'm Jim Summers." I replied to Discord while looking at him serious.

"Jim Summers? I don't remember creating a giant purple rabbit dressed as a clown, but I give you points for originality." said Discord to me.

"'Created'? Are you saying that all this is your doing?" I asked to Discord as I was suspicious of him.

“Amazing work, don't you think? I feel that one or two little thing is missing here and there, but soon you will see how beautiful everything will be as soon as my rest is over.” Discord replied to me.

"'Beautiful' you say? Is everything a meaningless mess and is that okay with you?” I said to Discord.

"What did you expect? I am the god of chaos, do you think that it should make any sense? I would say that everything is much better than how boring it was before of course, just like those six ponies.” Discord said with a grimace on his face to me as he took a sip of his tea.

“Six ponies? You did something to Applejack, Rarity and the others right? Return them to normal and Ponyville as well.” I said angrily raising my tone while pointing my right arm at Discord.

"So that? This place is just the beginning and with those annoying mares out of the way I can do whatever I want" said Discord with a evil smile to me.

"Look, I don't have time to deal with you, now you just do what I told you or else-" I tried to say but I was interrupted.

"Or what? What are you going to do to me?..." Discord said to me as he snapped the fingers of his right hand and in an instant he made his table disappeared with the entire tea set and then he perched in front of me. "Did you know? Your aptitude bothers me, I think I'd better take care of you too, what do you say I turn you into a regular-sized rabbit?" said Discord with now an evil grin on his face to me.

After saying that, Discord moved his right hand pointing it at me, it surprised me and I immediately closed my eyes and covered with my arms before he do something, then I heard how Discord snapped his fingers against me and for a moment I thought he has done something to me, but when I opened my eyes and turned to Discord I noticed that nothing happened, in fact Discord was looking at me with a totally astonished expression on his face.

"How?..." Discord said looking his hand surprised, he then turns to a tree that was near us and Discord points his hand at said tree, again Discord snaps his fingers and the tree turned into a white umbrella with red strides of the same size of the tree. "I'm not out of shape, so why I-" Discord tried to say while looking at his hand but was interrupted.

At that moment while Discord was distracted, I took the opportunity and crushed him with my palms as if he were a mosquito from his waist to his head, only his lower extremities were visible as I crushed his body, as soon as I took my hands off Discord, I observed that he was so flat as a sheet after what I just did to him.

"Ok, I didn't expect that..." Discord said to me and with his left hand he puts his thumb in his mouth, then he began to blow and after a few moments his body recovered his normal shape. "Okay, that was very rude of you-" Discord tried to say to me as he turned to look at me but was interrupted again.

I must admit that I was surprised to see how Discord had recovered so quickly after crushing him with my hands, with more reason, I won't give him a chance to do anything and I quickly raised my right arm over my head forming a fist then I hit him on the head so hard I made him crash to the ground. Discord then stood there with his back against the ground as he rubbed his head from the blow he just has received.

Of course I wasn't going to leave things like that, before Discord knew it I approached at him with both fists raised and ready, a moment before Discord looked up at me, with a quite worried expression on his face realizing what was about to happen, I could swear to hear him gulps his saliva. Without giving him a chance, I began to hit Discord, crushing his body against the ground without mercy to the point of forming a crater with the shape of my fists, when I stopped, I saw how Discord's left hand was slowly rising and he pointed his finger at me like he was going to say something to me, just in case, I raised my left leg and stomped on Discord's body like if he was an insect.

Shortly after I moved my foot away and saw Discord totally crushed, he was like those Looney tunes cartoons. After a few moments, Discord moves his right hand and snaps his fingers and in the blink of an eye he disappears from the hole I made and reappears outside the crater totally intact, without any damage to his body and was cleaning the dust off his body.

“Ok then, Jim, isn't it? I think you went a bit too far with what you did to me just now.” Discord said to me without looking at me while he continued cleaning himself.

"Look, I don't like being rude..." I said to Discord, raising my right arm forming a fist at him. "So just do what I tell you and I won't have to-" but I was interrupted.

"And who said you have any authority here?" Discord said to me without turning his eyes and with a tone that I didn't like one bit.

Unexpectedly, before I could say any word, Discord turned around at me and in both hands pointing at me, his hands were holding white luminous spheres, he merged both spheres together and fired a great beam of reddish-yellow energy at my direction and ripped my right arm at the elbow destroying it and separating my arm on the spot, I won't lie saying that it didn't hurt, it was incredibly painful so much so that I knelt down and held what was left of my right arm with my left arm while moaning in pain.

"Not so rude anymore are you? It seems that the death ray did worked on you." Discord said to me and I noticed that he was smirking at me as he prepared to do his attack again.

Anger was building inside me as I saw Discord's stupid grin on his face, but before I could think in what to do, Discord again fired his lightning at me, this time hitting me in the stomach, making a hole in the process, the pain I felt was so much that I was about to faint as I felt tears running down my cheeks as I let out a loud a cry of pain.

"You know, I don't like being rude with others, but you left me no choice..." Discord said to me as he took a few steps forward preparing his hands with his lightning. "Get ready to go to the heavens of rabbits, big eared." said Discord to me getting into position.

Without giving me a chance, Discord fired his lightning at me again, but this time it hit me in the chest and unlike the previous shots, this one was much more powerful and ended up separating the upper part of my chest from my body, strangely, this time I felt no pain, time passed slowly as what was left of my upper body fell to the ground, my vision blurred and I vaguely heard Discord's voice mocking me, I didn't understand what he was saying but I knew he was mocking me for the tone in his voice, I finally fell to the ground and after a few moments I closed my eyes and lost consciousness.

Discord's POV

Well I finally put an end to this nuisance, I give credit to the rabbit, it had been a long time since anyone crushed my body in such a way, but with the beast out of the way, there is no one else trying to ruin my fun, no elements of harmony , "Princess Annoyance" and her silly sister are out of my way, there is nothing and no one that can change my plans to turn Equestria into a wonderful place for my chaos.

I began to stretch my body rattling every bone of my being, preparing to continue spreading chaos throughout Equestria, but then something quite strange happened, as soon as I turned to see the rest of the rabbit's body, I noticed that it was gone, no. there was not a trace of him on the ground.

"How?..." I said approaching the place where I have defeated him, making a magnifying glass appear to look better but there was nothing. "This is strange..." I said as I took out of my pocket my magic analyzer capable of finding any nearby magic fiber, but after a few moments of searching, it didn't show me anything. "There is no trace of magic in the air, apart from mine, what happened to that rabbit?" I said looking around for him with my eyes.

Suddenly something strange started to happen that took off of guard, the environment of the place started to turn dark with each passing second and not only that, my dear work that I had done to this boring town into a chaotic and fun place, was returning to its boring normal state until finally everything returned back to how it was, but something wasn't right, now everything was surrounded by darkness and a fog that gave me chills.

"What's going on here?" I said shocked while rubbing my arms to gain heat.

Shortly after, I felt that someone was watching me closely and when I turned around I noticed at a certain height a pair of very familiar bright yellow eyes in the mist that were looking at me. shortly after, the eyes came closer and the figure of the owner of these eyes began to appear, moments later, the being in the mist was none other than the rabbit that I defeated a while ago and was looking at me with a grimace on his face.

"You're still here, huh?..." I said irritated to the rabbit, seeing the rabbit looking at me with that smile it really bothered me. "Well, if I beat you once, I can do it again..." I said, preparing to give the rabbit another good taste of my magic, but something happened that made me sweat cold, my magic didn't appear, what is more, I didn't even feel it flowing in my body. "Oh no." I said now quite worried.

The rabbit then let out a laugh that put fear all across my body, I was going to prepare for the old escape option but the rabbit raised his right arm and on his palm he began to create a sphere from which I can feel an dark energy emanating from that sphere, then an attraction force began to come out that was attracting me to it, I tried to hold on to the ground but the power it has was too much for me that after a few moments it ended up lifting me from the ground and it ended up sucking inside the sphere through, the rabbit closes his hand trapping the sphere of darkness with me inside of it.

I don't know what he did but I feel my whole body squeezed, as if I were in a very narrow place. as soon as I noticed that the rabbit opened his hand I could see the light again and I noticed the dark energy of the sphere was surrounding my body, it was there when I realized that now my body was trapped inside that sphere, shortly after the rabbit moved me close to his face as if he wanted me to look at him grinning, I don't know what he's thinking, but something tells me that he doesn't intend to treat me nicely.

Without warning, the rabbit raised his hand, holding the sphere with me inside and threw it hard against the ground, when he gave me that beating before, I didn't felt it at all, but now that impact caused me severe pain throughout my body. The sphere that had me trapped bounced into the air after the blow it received on the ground, the crazy rabbit then gave another blow just as strong as the previous one with which I fell to the ground and then bounced again and continued like this, apart from the blows I could hear his laugh enjoying himself as he was treating me like a basketball.

"P-please...Please...I...give up...Stop...It hurts." I thought while tears came out of my eyes.

The devilish rabbit continued to play with me, I didn't know if he was listening to me or maybe he didn't even care about my pain, but maybe by luck or maybe because he got tired of this game, he released me from my tight prison to which my weak body fell to the ground, I could hardly move I was very weak, I barely turned around leaning my back against the ground trying to recover energy, but it was there that I saw the rabbit floating on top of the town raising its right arm.

In just a moment from the rabbit's hand he created some kind of spear of dark purple energy, it seemed as if he was holding a bolt of lightning. I already knew what this lunatic rabbit was planning to do with that lightning bolt and I wasn't going to let him throw that thing at me either, but I couldn't move, my body didn't respond after so many impacts I can only watch how that deranged rabbit laughed at me as he threw that lightning at me, it did not take long to reach my immobile being.

It was a few seconds but I think I would have given everything to be sealed in stone by the elements of harmony, the pain I felt when that dark lightning impacted me was as if thousands of needles mercilessly pierced my body while I was being charred alive.

As soon as that torture ended, my body was now blackened by the burns I suffered, I was surprised to still be conscious after that immense pain that I went through for those few seconds, shortly after the rabbit descended to where I and was still looking at me with that grimace on his face, he seemed to be enjoying my torment which I thought would continue torturing me, however, he extended his long right arm and caught me in his claws, the rabbit then he raised his arm with me caught in his grip over his head, I saw his face that didn't look away from me and he was...Licking his lips with his tongue.

"Oh no...No no no no!..." I exclaimed and moved my hand and began to snap my claw in desperation." No! Why it do not work?!" I screamed in fear as this monster slowly lowered his arm close to him into his gaping mouth.

Being eaten by this rabbit, even Celestia would take pity on me after everything I've been through. I thought that it would be my end but unexpectedly something happened.

"Jim!" exclaimed the voice of a filly.

At that moment, the rabbit stopped dead, both he and I turned in the direction from that voice have come and there was standing a little furry dog with blue eyes that was wearing some kind of ring for a necklace and was accompanied by a baby purple dragon who was leaning down holding his legs, both of them were tired while panting but the strange dog didn't take his eyes off us.

Ponyville, Jim and Lizzie's house, morning time

Lizzie’s POV

"Oh how boring..." I said while lying on my bed while having a thermometer in my mouth, to which I turned to Spike who was next to me." Spike, how long has Jim been gone? He didn't say when he is coming back?" I asked to Spike.

"No, he said that he was going to do something for you and that he would come back after finishing it..." said Spike who took the thermometer off my mouth and checked it. "It seems your fever has dropped, I think you'll be able to get out of bed soon, Liz." Spike said to me while smiling at me.

"Great, do you think we can play or do something while we wait for Jim?" I asked to Spike, somewhat anxiously while smiling at him.

"For now, stay in bed for a while, I received a letter from Twilight and she said that they're back from Canterlot, it's very likely that they'll stop by to see how you're doing..." Spike said to me as he walked to the bedroom's door and turn back with me "I'm going to prepare something for you in the kitchen, I'll be back in a while okay?" Spike said with me to which I nod to him.

There I waited a few moments after Spike left so I could to get out of bed, I went down to the floor and began to stretch my legs, I really needed to move a bit, I don't know why but I feel that my body is asking me to do some exercises, for some reason I feel that I must not neglect. After that I went to the window to look outside for a while, I was suddenly surprised with what is in front of my eyes, I could see on the road that went in the direction of Ponyville a group of rabbits with extremely long legs walking as if nothing happened. They were like giraffes without a long neck, but it weren't just rabbits, I also saw a group of birds flying upside down, some pink clouds from which brown rain came out, small islands floating and that was just a little of what was happening outside.

"It can't be…How could I forget this? Discord has returned." I thought shocked as I looked out my window.

Before, what Discord did when he first appeared on the show seemed funny to me, but one thing is watching him on television and another thing is to see what he does in real life, now it just seems out of place and... It's harsh to see how the things I know and like are changing into this bizarre sight. Suddenly, without warning, a pig with wings crashed into my window, I have my window closed and luckily it didn't break it but it still made me jump back and I let out a surprised cry.

“Liz! What's going on?!... ”I heard Spike said behind me and as soon as I turned around I noticed that he was at the door of my room with a cup in his right hand, he then approaches to me. "Are you oK? Nothing bad happened to you?" Spike asked worried about me.

"I-I'm fine Spike, it's just that it surprised me that's all, something is happening outside." I told to Spike as I pointed my left paw at the window.

"Huh?..." Spike said as he walks to the window and looks outside. "What's going on?" asked Spike puzzled.

"I don't know what's going on, but we need to find Jim, Spike." I told Spike with a serious tone.

"I don't think it's a good idea for him to be out there alone with that mess happening..." Spike said to me, taking another look at the window before turning back at me. "I'm going for Twilight se we could go to find Jim." Spike said to me.

"Wait Spike, I'll go with you." I said to Spike walking to him.

"I can't let Jim run into Discord, who knows what he could do to my brother." I thought worried as I looked at Spike.

"No Liz, you are just recovered from your fever, you must stay here." Spike said to me.

"Please Spike, I'm really worried about Jim." I said to Spike as I begged to him to and I a few tears coming out of my eyes.

"Eh...I...Liz you..." Spike said to me as he tried to look away from me but it was clear that he couldn't, until "Agh fine, you win Liz, but you're going to stay close to me, ok? First we will go for Twilight so we can look for your brother.” Spike said to me with me in a serious tone to me which I nodded in response with a small smile on my face.

Ponyville, Twilight's library, noon time

After leaving the house, Spike and I go to Ponyville, being careful with all the strange and rare things happening in the town of course, we reached to the library but sadly we didn't find Twilight there, both Spike and I decided to get back outside but at the moment opened the front door, something unexpected happened, the town was back to its normal state, did Twilight and the other girls defeated Discord already? But there was something wrong here, the town looks darker and now there was a strange mist around.

"What is going on now? Is getting cold here." asked Spike looking around astonished while rubbing his arms.

"I would like to know too Spike, I-wait..." I said when suddenly I feel something. "Spike, I can feel Jim's scent." I said to Spike while I was sniffing the air.

"Jim's scent? You mean he is here in the town?" asked Spike looking at me.

"Yes...I can feel him all over the place..." I said continuing smelling the air. "Wait, I can feel his scent stronger at that place..." I said to Spike as I was pointing with my paw to a direction in front of me. "Let's go Spike." I said to Spike as rush into that direction.

"Wait Liz! Don't go there by yourself!" exclaimed Spike to me as I heard his steps running behind me.

"Sorry Spike, but I have a bad feeling about this, I need to find Jim." I thought worried as I keep running.

At that moment, I follow Jim's scent around the town, it was too strange that it was all over the town but luckily it was stronger at the site I was following as Spike was behind me keeping track with me. As the two of us were on the way, we soon discovered that Jim's scent was at the town center, when reached to that place, we found a shocking scene in front of our eyes, there was Jim who was holding over his head with his hand a beated and burned Discord who desperately was snapping his fingers as Jim opened his mouth, he was going to eat Discord.

"Jim!" I exclaimed to Jim as I was panting.

The moment Jim heard my voice, he stopped just at the right when he was about to drop Discord into his mouth, he then turn around to look at me. his eyes were glowing and he looks scary, but a few moment after he saw me, he suddenly drop Discord to the ground as he then move his hands to hold his head and Jim began to groan in pain as he got on his knees, at these moments all the mist around was moving to Jim's body and it being sucked into his body, he was like a vacuum cleaner until all the mist dissipated into his body, all the darker tone around the town was vanished, I don't understand what happened but right now I'm most concerned about Jim as I run to his side as Spike follow me to him.

"Jim!..." I exclaimed worried about my brother. "Are you ok big bro?" asked to Jim who looks down to me.

"Li-Liz?...What happened?...I..." Jim try to said, he seems confused and looks tired.

"Calm down big guy, try to rest a-" try to say Spike but he was interrupted by a loud and familiar voice.

"Discord!" shouted the voice of Twilight in an angry tone, calling our attention.

When we turned around we saw Twilight standing there with Applejack and the others, they were holding the elements of harmony glowing, at that moment I noticed Discord that he was crawling trying to get away of here, he seems too weak at this moments but he got really scared the moment he saw Twilight and the others getting ready to blast him with the elements.

"You will pay for what you have done today, Discord." said Twilight upset to Discord.

"No wait! Can we talk about-" try to say Discord desperate but he was interrupted.

At that moment, Twilight and her friends began to float as the six were shining in rainbow colors and after a few seconds they shoot at Discord with the elements of harmony as the chaos lord try to cover his body in vain, covering his entire body without a way to escape from that attack, soon the bright light of the elements fade, leaving behind a Discord now sealed back in stone, when Twilight and her friends after sealing Discord, they run to us.

"Jim, are you ok? What happened?" asked Twilight worried to Jim.

"I don't know, I was fighting that Discord guy, when I...I really don't remember what happened after." replied Jim to Twilight he indeed was confused.

"Jim do not remember that he was about to eat Discord? I think that is better to not say what he was going to do to Discord." I thought looking at Jim, I'm very concerned about him.

"What? Did you fight Discord? Are you hurt Jim? He didn't do anything to you right?" asked Twilight worried to my brother.

"No I think I'm fine Twilight." replied Jim to Twilight.

"I see, I'm glad that you seem ok, but it was very irresponsible of you Jim, don't you know what Discord could have do to you? He could mess out your entire life." said Twilight scolding my brother.

"It could be dangerous so don't ever do that again, ok?" said Fluttershy concerned to Jim.

"I say the same Jim, don't rush out to deal with something or somepony that you don't know." said Applejack to my brother.

"I...I'm so sorry, it was unreasonable from me going against Discord." said Jim apologizing with Twilight and the rest.

"Oh come on girls, leave him alone, look, the big guy took care of Discord, giving us time while Twilight was solving our problems, that's really cool of him." said Rainbow dash to the group.

"I don't approved your actions Jim, that was careless from you, but still, you indeed were brave to face that trickster of Discord." said Rarity with a small smile to my brother.

"That's right, what about if we prepare a party to celebrate that everything end up well and the meanie of Discord is back in stone?" said Pinkie Pie suggesting to everyone.

"Well..." said Twilight rubbing her neck to Pinkie Pie.

"Please, please please Twilight." said Pinkie Pie to Twilight, as she was looking at her with tearing puppy eyes.

"Ok, fine, if Discord is sealed, I suppose that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna will come here, I think that it could be nice to give them the good news along side with a welcome party." said Twilight in defeat while rubbing her neck.

"Yay!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie with joy as she was jumping while Twilight rolled her eyes smiling.

"Very well everypony, let's get everything ready." said Twilight to everyone.

After that said, everyone began with the preparations for the party, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna did come and congratulated everyone for stopping Discord, they then ordered to the guards to take back Discord's statue back to his place as the royal sisters stayed to celebrate with everyone, Jim do not remember that he was about to eat Discord, I don't understand what was happening with him at those moments but one thing for sure, I believe that is better for him to not know about it, I don't know why but I feel that is something that should be forgotten, while I was at the party I go with Spike to have a small talk with him.

"Spike? Can ask you something?" I told to Spike feeling a bit down about this.

"What is, Liz?" replied Spike to me.

"Do you saw what Jim what's about to do to Discord?" I asked to Spike.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about it, what happened to Jim, Liz? When I saw him, I could swear that he was about to gulp Discord." said Spike surprised to me, looks like that he forgot about those events with the party.

"I don't know Spike, but Jim doesn't see to be aware of that, so I want to ask you if you could keep this secret in between us?" I asked to Spike.

"I...I don't know Liz, maybe something is happening to Jim, I think that we should talk about it with Twilight and the others." said Spike unsure to me.

"Please Spike, don't tell this to anypony, do it for me please?" I begged to Spike, doing my best to convincing him.

"I...I...Liz..." said Spike try to look away, but the moment he turns I move to his field's view until he sighs. "Fine, I ain't going to say word about it to anypony." said Spike in defeat to me.

"Ok thank you so much Spike!" I exclaimed with joy to Spike as i hug him.

"Hey what are friends for?" said Spike to me laughing a bit as he hugs me back.

After the party, everyone go back to their homes to rest in peace without nothing random and bizarre pop out of nowhere, still, I hope for what happened to Jim with his encounter with Discord, do not happen again.

Chapter 1: The night robbers

Everfree forest

Jim's POV

When my little sister and I, leave the river, we decided to search for a shelter so we could spend the night, it was rather difficult to find a place by the fact that I was so huge now. But first, we need to get out of this creepy place, while I walk thru this forest I noted that the more we saw to our surroudings more creepy it gets, like in that scene in Snow white when the princess get lost in that forest and start to seeing things because she was scared, here, it was more like the real thing, like if we have entered in a haunted house.

"Jim, can we get out of this forest please?" ask Liz fearful.

"I'm trying Liz, what's the matter? Are you scared?" I ask to my little sister that was still on my head while I walk.

"Uh-huh, Jim I think that we are in the Everfree forest." replied Liz.

"Ever-what?" I said a bit confused as I stopped my walk.

"Is the most scary forest in Equestria, in this place are manticores, ursas, cockatrices that if you see it into the eyes it can turn you into stone and a lot of other monsters live here." said Liz as I can feel her tremble.

"Hey is ok, look..." I moved my right arm to a tree at my side and easily push it to the ground. "See? Your big brother is now so strong that I can even take down trees like nothing, I will protect you no matter who or what could appear." I said trying to make her feel better.

But my sister was still unsure about it, I was more determined than before as I try to find the way out of this forest that scare her. One good thing that I had learn is that these big ears that I have were not just for decoration, the range of my hearing was more vast than before and the sound of the rumbles that I do with every step I made, were causing that every critter who were close to us to drives off. At least I don't have to worry for any attacks for now, unless there was a creature bold enough to defend its territory from invaders.

"By the way Jim, what we are now? You look like a monstrous rabbit and I look like a puppy with a ring for a necklace." asked Lizz, I can feel that she want change this atmosphere.

"Well do you remember the anime that I show you the past year? Where 7 kids were chosen to have some creatures as companions that evolve into bigger and powerful beings?" I ask to my sister.

"I think I remenber it, Digimon was it? I don't put it too much atention, because at that time, you decided to reject and not see My little pony, so I don't watch your anime because I was angry at you for that." replied Liz a little upset in her tone.

"What a prideful sister that I have." I thought a bit upset as I continue explaining to Liz.

"Well to simple put it, we are now digimons. You are a now a Salamon, a holy type rookie level digimon." I said to Liz.

"I see, and what are you?" Liz asked me, she sound curious about it what makes me feel relaxed a bit, at least she is no scared now.

"I'm now Cherubimon vice, a fallen angel ultimate level digimon, and a very powerful one. But I still don't know how to use my powers." I explain to Liz.

"Ohhhh...Wait you said fallen angel? What that's mean Jim?" ask Liz.

"Well basically it means evil angel, like Lucifer." I replied.

"Ehh?!..." shout Liz surprised. "Jim are you a bad guy now?" asked Liz worried about it.

"What? No, I'm still me, just because I look like a evil monster rabbit, that doesn't mean that I would act like one." I said a bit upset while I clarified to my sister.

"I see, I'm sorry for said that to you Jim." replied Liz, by her tone I could tell that she feel bad for what she said before.

"Hey..." I moved my right arm hand over my head where Liz was and with one finger I gently rub her head "Is ok, I know that you really don't mean to said that." I said trying to cheer her up.

"Thank you Jim, you are the best brother." said Liz with a more calm tone while I chuckled a bit in response.

After that conversation with my sister, we both continue our way thru the forest, for a while Liz stay in silent but she start to hum the intro song of my little pony and I let her be. She needs a distraction for everything that we seeing here and even is nobody or anything were coming to attack us, the sole images of this forest could give goose bumps to anyone who can't defend himself, I'm glad that Liz has me at her side while we are in this mess. then suddenly Liz stopped her hum.

"Jim look!..." exclaim Liz as she move her paw pointing to some direction. "Is a path, it has to be the one to get out of here." said Liz.

I move my head to the direction where Liz was pointing and saw that the trees were separated in the distance from where we watching, effectively it looks like something was dividing the forest in that direction by the ground. I walk at that place and we encounter a path on the ground, one side was going to a deep part in this forest while the opposite direction, as far as our sight could tell, was leading to a open road.

"That direction..." said Liz looking to the direction that lead deep into forest. "It has to be the way to the ruins of the old castle of the pony sisters, while the other could led us to Ponyville, we can go out of here Jim!" exclaim Liz excited.

"Yeah let's go, the less scary and creepy the better." I replied.

With this resolved, we follow the direction in the path to where my sister said before, the path that could lead to Ponyville. While I march on that way, we were leaving that forest, it didn't take us too long until we finally reach to the entrace of the woods, as we continue thru the way, we finally reach to a crossroad with signs in it dividing the paths in the road. Saddly I couldn't read what was written in the signs, it was in a strange dialect and I doubt that Liz could understand it, but before infront of us in the distance crossing a bridge we can see the houses of Ponyville from our position.

"We made it Jim!..." exclaim my sister excited as she point with her right paw to the town. "We are at Ponyville, it's looks so beautiful and peaceful at this hour, I can't wait to meet the ponies, come on Jim we only have to cross that bridge over there and we officially have entered to Ponyville." said Liz joyful.

I heard my sister's words, she sound so happy about this to even forget about her bruises and tiredness, for her it was a dream come true to finally meet the characters of her favorite cartoon show, what kid doesn't have a dream like that? But, as I watch to the town of ponies in the distance for a while, there was no light on in the houses, the habitants of that town were probably sleeping at this moment. Then I look down to my body thinking for a brief moment.

"Isn't going to be easy, but is the right decision." I thought looking to my huge arms.

"Jim? What's matter? Come on, let's go to Ponyville." said Liz a little concerned as I took a deep breath.

"Liz...We aren't going to that town." I said with a firm tone.

"Eh?! Why not?" exclaim Liz as she sound hurt. Then I move my right hand to her so she can go jump on it and move her in front of my face so we could discuss this better.

"Liz, I know that you want to go to Ponyville, but look at me, If I go at this time of the night, it would become a big mess." I told to Liz.

"But, but...Can we come in the morning then? Please Jim" plead Liz to me and I shake my head.

"Look Liz, you and I know that I ain't a bad guy right?..." I ask to my sister who nod in response. "Well these ponies doesn't know that, If I go to that town at any hour of the day, the ponies will get scared of me and probably something bad would occur. It will be like those cartoons when a guy who look evil, in the end is known that he was innocent, but the damage will be still done, do your understand?" I said explaining to Liz, I could see how she was tremble with the sadness in her eyes for what I said to her.

"Then...Can I come alone for a while?" ask Liz with her hurtful tone, I feel really bad for her right now.

"No Liz, you are my responsability, I can't leave you alone now, this world is new to us, especially me, I would never forgive myself If something bad happen to you, please understand, we only have each other now." I told to my sister in a firm tone.

"O-ok Jim, I-I under-stand." said Liz sobbing as tears were coming out her eyes.

"No, no Liz don't do this to me, put those tears back into your eyes, crying isn't fair and you know it." I thought looking to my sister's tears for a while, until finally I sigh in defeated.

"Fine...Look Liz, I don't how or when, but we will find a way to go into the town." I said trying to comfort my sister.

"Yo-you promise?" said my sister still in tears.

"Yes, I promise, but we aren't going to that town yet, we aren't prepared to go now." I told to Liz.

"Is-is ok Jim I can wait." replied Liz sobbing a bit.

"Good, then wipe those tears..." I said as I move my left arm to Liz and with the tip of my finger I wipe the tears of Liz's right cheek. "We are in the world of your favorite show, just wait for a bit more to meet those ponies ok?" I said smiling trying to make her feel better.

"Thank you Jim..." said Liz while moving her left paw to wipe the rest of her tears on her face and look back to me. "Maybe we could find a pony that could help us get into the town." said Liz with a better mood.

"We will see what we can do, but for now, we shou-" I try to say but I was suddenly interrupt by the sound of a great roar surprising me on the spot.

"Liz did you hear that?..." I said in alert looking around us for the animal that made that noise. "It sounds like the roar of a monster, we have to be...Liz?" I look back to my sister face and I encounter that she was red like a tomato.

"Don't..." said Liz in a lower tone with a angry expression looking to me.

"Liz, don't tell that it was-" I try to say guessing what she mean but she interrupt me again.

"DON'T LAUGH!!!" exclaim Liz angry at me.

Suddenly in Liz shout I could feel a sonic wave hitting me in the face making me take a step back, after a few seconds I recover from that, surprisingly that doesn't hurt me much, it anoy me more than hurt me. When I look back to my sister on my hand, she was now panting tired with her tongue out.

"That was...Puppy howling?" I said in surprise looking to Liz.

"Puppy...howling?" ask Liz confused while panting a little.

"That was one of your special techniques." I told to my sister.

"I don't understand." replied Liz recovering her composure.

"I explain later, for now let's find something to eat and some shelter, I'm starting to get hungry too, ok?" I said to Liz.

"Yeah, my little tummy is asking for food." said Liz rubbing her stomach as I put her back on my head.

I look around and closer to us I found behind a wood fence some apple trees and a road a side of the fence leading to another place. The trees that were closer looks smaller and don't have much apples, those weren't going to be much useful, but still, I extend my arm to one tree and grab a apple to give it to Liz, and she quickly consumed it in a few seconds and trow the core to the ground.

"How it was?" I ask to Liz.

"Delicious, but I'm still hungry." replied Liz.

"What is in that direction?" I ask to Liz as I point with my right hand in the direction of the road a side of the fence of the apple trees.

"That way should lead to Applejack's family farm, Sweet apple acres. Is a farm of apples." replied Liz.

"Excellent let's go there then." I said walking to the way of that farm.

"What are you going to do? Are we going to ask Applejack and her family for help?" ask Liz curious about it.

"You will see." I replied smirking.

"Still, I can't believe that my sister with that small body, can produce that scary sound." I thought as I walk to the path, mentally laughing about what just happened.

Sweet apple acres farm

"Jim, I don't think that this is a good idea, Applejack and her family will get mad at us if they know about it." said Liz unsure with what I was doing.

"I don't like it either, but is this or starving the night." I replied.

When Liz and I reach closer to the apple farm, it was a marvelous sight, there was apple trees and apple trees everywhere, in the earth I never have the chance to visit a farm with this level of product prodution. When we walk over the fence, I have to be really careful to not make my steps to rumble, the less I want right now is to call the atention of this Applejack and her family, I really wish to know how to float right now, it would made this job more easily.

The plan that I have was quite simple: 'I just going to tear off some apple trees of the ground', but not any normal apple tree, I'm going for the ones most matures that have more apples on it, those may have the most tasteful ones too. To be fair, it was a little extreme from my part doing something like this, but we are short of time and we still have to find shelter so don't blame me.

Liz and I try not to get closer to the house and barn keeping distance far away from those, the less atention the better. Then I was infront of the first apple tree, even in the dark night i could see perfectly the apples in it, they look so juicy and I can bet that they were tasteful too, but I remained calm, with my right arm I grab it from the trunk and easily I tearing it off the ground without making too much noise, a few apples to fell from it by doing this, then I put the tree under my left arm.

I repeat this action a few times until I end up carrying six apple trees in my arm, I think that this quantity is quite enough for Liz and me, at least for the dinner and the breakfast for tomorrow. With my prizes in my arm, it was time for us to leave the 'crime scene' so we silently go back for were we come from, walking over the fence to go out this apple farm without being noticed.

After a while, we where back at the crossroad from before, as Liz and I decide where to go now, our decision was to avoid any encounter with a pony for now, so Liz told me that we should go to the forest outside Ponyville, she said that at least in that place are not dangerous creatures like in the Everfree forest. I follow my sister instructions as she guide me to this forest that she mentioned before, passing thru the road that go to the Everfree until we come across in front of us a cottage a side of the road.

Liz told me that this was the home of a pony named Fluttershy, she then tell me that Fluttershy was one her favorites characters of the show, by the tone of her voice I could tell that she was sad by the fact to not meet this pony right now, but I told her and assured her that she will eventually meet her, that she just have to be a little patience about it. After that, Liz and I continue our way until we finally find and entered to the forest that she mentioned before.

As we were walking in this forest we try to find the best place for us to spend the night, until we encounter a cave that looks big enough for me to enter and even has a river a side of it. The perfect site with a water source nearby and a ceiling In case it rains, when we where closer to the entrace of the cave I drop the apple trees that I was carrying on the making a loud sound, after that we hear a angry roar coming from the cave alerting us, in a moment, from the cave comes out a bear walking on his two legs and it looks angry. That was until his face hit my belly, he then start to look up slowly as he meet my face looking down to it, the poor bear quickly change his mood from angry to scared as it start to shake in fear while I let out a menacing growl.

"Boo!" I shout to the bear.

With that simple sound the bear fall on the ground screaming and quickly stood up in his four legs tripping once on its way as its get out of this place leaving Liz and I alone, after seeing this I couldn't resist the urge and I end up laughing about the scared poor bear for a while.

"Jim!..." exclaim my sister angry making me stop. "Stop being mean." said Liz with stern tone.

"Sorry Liz, I just couldn't resist it." I replied as I apologise to Liz.

"Apology accepted..." said Liz as she look to path where the bear ran away. "Still, that bear looks familiar." said Liz unsured.

"You think?" I said without much interest in the creature.

After our encounter with the bear I finally left Liz back on the ground, then I grab the apple trees and start to taking all the apples off them, stacking them in a mound, then I grab the branches of the trees and with the stones that where around us I used them to make a campfire. My only problem now was how I'm going to light the fire, while my sister was already eating some apples I was dealing with the bonfire, just then I remember how Liz use her attack on me before, at that moment she was angry at me, maybe a strong emotion could be the key.

I move my hand infront of me closing my fingers in a fist, then I start to concentrate, If I am correct, Cherubimon vice has the ability to create lightnings, I should be able to do it, just like Liz unconsciously did her special attack at me. My hand was trembling as the seconds pass without anything happening, meanwhile my head was starting to hurt, I was starting to get frustrated until finally, a spark of dark electricity cross my fist for a few seconds.

"I made it, now I just have to..." I thought moving my hand in front of the campfire.

Again, I start to concentrate harder, feeling that emotion to make appear that spark in my hand again. Then the spark reappear in my hand, this time I try to control it, but it was so difficult that I was starting get a headache, but it was enough time to made my fingers snap pointing to the campfire and I end up shooting a little spark to the wood catch it fire in it, bringing light to our humble camp, Liz who was watching this got closer to me.

"Wow, Jim you can shoot electricity from you hands!" exclaim Liz as she sit on the ground. "How do you do it? Can you teach me? Please please please!" said Liz excited while I sigh tired for what I just do.

"Well..." I said as I sit on the ground too. "That's my ability as Cherubimon vice, but that was so hard to do, I feel that my head was about to explode." I replied to Liz looking to her.

"I see, then what are mine abilities Jim? Can I spit fire from my mouth? Or can I control water? I know, I can made earthquakes right?" said my imaginative sister smiling in joy.

"The true is Liz, most or your abilities are physical attacks, only your puppy howling has some effect, in this case, make your opponent stunned." I explain to Liz.

"What? Not fair Jim, you can tear down trees with one arm and shoot electricity while I just howl? Why you are the one with the cool stuff?" said Liz disappointed.

"Hey don't be so down, I told you that it was too hard for me to do it and it was even only a small spark, I don't think I could use that often." I said to Liz.

"If you say so." replied Liz still a little upset.

After that, Liz and I haved our dinner of apples, I was surprised with the taste of this fruits, these are the most tasty apples that I could have the pleasure of savour it, If I could meet this Applejack, I will congratulate her and her family for this wonderful work with this apples, that's of course, If she doesn't ran scared of me or try to kill me for stealing her trees.

When with finish our dinner, we leave half the apples for tomorrow as I move them inside the cave, I decided to leave the fire on in the campfire to keep us warm for the rest of the night. Then Liz and I move to the entrace of the cave as I take a seat on the ground, leaning my back on the stone wall, then I put Liz on my belly so she lie down on it to sleep while I move my right hand on her body to keep her safe while we sleep.

"Jim...Do you think that we will see our parents again?" said Liz with her unsure tone looking to me with her puppy eyes as I look back to her and smile.

"Of course Liz, we will meet them again, we will find the way to do it, I promise." I replied rubbing her back gently.

"Thank you, good night Jim, I..." Liz try to say but she suddenly yawn and lower her head rubbing it on the fur of my belly before she continue. "Love you." Liz said falling into sleep.

"Today you suffered a difficult night, no wonder that the tiredness finally got you." I thought looking to my sister with a warm smile.

"Good night Liz, I love you too." I said as I close my eyes.

Sweet apple acres farm

Applejack's POV

It was early in the morning as I wake up, I think it was around the 8:00am more or less, usually I wake more earlier but with the extra job I did in the farm yesterday, I decided to take one hour more to sleep. Then I stand off to make my bed so I could go out my room and before I exit my bedroom I grab my hat to go to the bathroom.

When I finish my business in the bathroom, I go down stairs to meet my granny, I think my big brother Bic Mac and my little sister Applebloom would be already working together at the farm, Applebloom doesn't have to go to the school today so she help us in the morning before she go to play.

As I entered to the kitchen I was expeting to meet granny, but instead she was not there, maybe she was out with my siblings in the farm. After going out the house I start to looking for my family at the farm, I was getting a bit worried for not finding them yet, until I finally find the members of my family reunited in the apple orchards, look's like something was happening, as I trot closer to them I could see their faces with a concerned expression while they look down to the ground.

"Good morning everypony, what's the matter?" I said to my family as Granny Smith turns to look me.

"Hi sweetheart, and this doesn't look like a good morning to us." replied my grandmother with a sad tone.

"Not good? Why is that?" I ask a little confused.

"Look to the ground there sis." said Applebloom pointing with her hoof to the ground as I look to that direction.

"What the-" I stopped, surprised and scared for what I saw.

There on the ground for what I know, where there supposed to be big apple trees before were now empty holes with a few fell apples at the sides of those holes, but what was suprised me more, was the fact that around to those holes were huge footprints.

"What the hay happen here?" I said still looking down to the footprints.

Author's Note

And cliffhanger ending, I was deciding what time in MLP this story should develop, one was when Discord breaks free (Like in The Black digi-knight) and the second in "pre-Twilight's coming" like two or three days before she go to Ponyville. I think I will go for the second choice, it looks more appealing.

The second thing is about Applejack's accent, I won't do it, please don't take it bad is just that I simply don't know how to do it (Or write it in this case).

And finally I was thinking in changing the cover image too.

With that said, I hope that you have enjoyed the chapter, If I made any mistake please let me know. :twilightsmile:
