Dusk began getting dress pulling on some pants and a new shirt, as he walked out the door. Both Applejack and Sunset giggling. Dusk kept out of their business but he was thankful they weren’t mad at him. As he moved out following Celestia. Moving forward Celestia looked back towards him.

“Alright you’ve got a few things that needs to be done. Especially signing some paperwork and delivering this months profit into the bank.”

“Why me? I mean couldn’t you do it?” He wondered though curious But Celestia looked back.

“I’m not able to but you have to learn this, I should’ve been showing you more of this. But I’ve been so busy. I kept forgetting. No worry, I’ll have you the bank information, with draw two-thousand dollars for the bills and get back when you can.” Celestia reached over handing him the files.

“Provide this along with the envelopes to the bank, it’s the 1st western banking, and they’ll know what to do. ” She let out a light smile.

“Alright, well I better get going then.” Dusk said as he examined the yellow envelopes and rather profusely moved around shuffling some, while He watched Celestia adjust herself.

“Is there anything you’d like me to do, while your gone Master Walker.” She muttered almost teasing and with a light smirk. Dusk stood there for a second thinking, as an idea came over him.

“Yeah, well actually a question first, before I go.”

“Sure thing, whats the question?” Celestia muttered eyeing him curiously.

“As the owner of the house I can just move people around have them move rooms?”

Celestia raised an eyebrow. Rather curious while patting her side,

“I mean you are allowed what are you thinking about?” She pushed her glasses up as she watched the young man..

“I want to do something for Ember, I want you to take her stuff and move them from the attic, put them in a nice big room where she can store it, where she might be more comfortable.”

Celestia watched him almost imagining that he was crazy at this point.

“Are you sure? I mean she’s not going to be happy, she’s lived in that attic for… Well longer then I’ve been alive, she was here before Key’s was.”

“Yeah, I mean its cold up there and I’m sure it’s bothering her. Just give her a chance. Also give her this, it’s from me, as an apology.” He reached over fumbling through his pocket as he pulled out a small box. Celestia would open it up and examining it quickly.

“I swear you must be the craziest person I have ever met I mean seriously you’re poking an actual dragon… But fine, it’s your funeral.” Celestia responded as she brought out a small pen and paper, writing down his request.

“I mean come on whats the worst that could happen?” Dusk said as he began walking backwards giving a slight smile. He was finally feeling relaxed, though he didn’t notice Pinkie was behind him as he found himself slipping and falling right down on his back.

“I’m ok— I’m ok!” Dusk muttered pulling himself up and began heading right towards the stairs a jump in his step as the folder held under his arm pit.

“I swear to god, I wonder what Key’s was thinking when he left this place to him…” She sighed and headed back to Dusks room. She was going to need some help moving Ember’s things and it wasn’t going to be a fun. Celestia almost wish she could grab a drink. But she had to admit she was drinking a little too much.

Dusk walked out the door, passing a few of the girls on the way, He saw Fluttershy, walking around while wearing a blind fold with Chrysalis leading her with a spider web. Dusk wasn’t sure how to expect with a six-arm woman but he gave a wave which was responded in politeness, a few girls he didn’t notice though he gave them a smile as they passed, and Dusk was actually finding himself checking them out— They weren’t bad looking. Just different.

He headed out to the garage, though when he did Dusk suddenly felt a cold wind brush past him, as he turned around. Though it was clear he was all alone.

It must be the ghost again; I swear I should ask Celestia about that. It’s weird. He imagined while looking at the house.

“Um, hey there house, I don’t know if you can hear me or even know who I am… But I’m glad to meet you, it’s rather nice, Though what I did to deserve this chance. Well thanks.” He gave a light nod before heading out.

Then as he walked out he thought he heard something as he turned around seeing where the noise was coming from. But as soon as it came in it was gone. Dusk shrugged before heading off toward the garage. Fingers reaching down to his jeans as he started looking for his keys.

Spitfire was in the garage working on her bike, Spitfire yelling at her body, while a helmet was on top of he head,

“Get working Y’ah pain in the ass, We’re gonna riding as soon as possible. It’s been weeks since We’ve gone on a ride, and A’hm itching to ride there.”

“Still working on the bike there headless?” Dusk said giving a light chuckle.

“Oy, what are you doing here, body! Kick him in the ass!” though her body just ignored her while it was doing a few more adjustments on the bike.

“Maybe next time, I’m heading out to the bank is there anything you need help with?” Dusk asked looking over at the poor body.

“Na’h It’s fine, just got to get this lazy body working.” She bounced a bit, which caused Dusk some amusement since she was wearing a helmet and watching a helmet jump was kind of funny.

“Yeah, I’ll leave the garage door open for you, so you can get out easier.

“Thanks, for your kindness, I won’t throw a bucket of blood on you when your close to death.” Spitfire muttered, Dusk looked at her rather confused while not sure how to respond to something like that.

“Okay then, thank you for not throwing blood at me.” Dusk laughed lightly while he got into the Charger and started heading straight towards the bank. The Dullahan watched him drive off and bounced her head.

“That, poor, poor fool. Come on body let ride.” There the Dullahan’s body grabbed get and started attaching her to where her neck would be. Spitfire moved adjusting the straps so her head wouldn’t fall off.

Dusk drove through town, the music blaring through the radio as he enjoyed the warmth of the sun hitting down on him. The world felt relaxed as he moved along heading off towards the Bank. He listened to his GPS. The wind running through his hair, as he started taking a turn.

Dusk headed into the bank as he began depositing the money, nothing much happening as he would eventually withdraw around a couple thousand dollars and even a bit extra from the bank for himself, As he imagined picking up a few things for himself and the girls.

As he walked out of the bank and in his car he hadn’t noticed someone was following behind him. Slowly moving behind just to make sure no one noticed him.

Dusk would move around town as he picked up a few things. When he suddenly heard the sounds of sirens. Looking into his mirror, he saw what looked like a police car and pulled over. Dusk sat there, hands on the wheel waiting as a cop would come in. It was Flash Sentry colter An old high school classmate. Not a friend but someone he vaguely remember. A man, with a slight beer belly, who wore his uniform and badge that shimmered in the sun with pride. Flash Sentry moved over standing there, watching him through those sunglasses.

“License and registration.” His gruff voice that was trying to sound tough, with a hint of don’t fuck with me.

“You got it, Flash Sentry.” Dusk said carefully grabbing his license and registration. But he wouldn’t leave his eyes off Flash Sentry. Something about Flash Sentry was off when they were kids and he just didn’t trust him, as he proceeded to hand it over.

“It’s sheriff to you Dusk.”

“Hows, Muffin? I heard you two got married.”

“Please step out of the vehicle sir.” Flash Sentry said without a sign of easing up. Dusk followed orders standing there. The two men stood almost evenly though Dusk was leaner, But if it came down to anything Flash Sentry had a gun, and might not have been afraid to use it if things escalated. So Dusk chose to keep his cool.

“Is there a problem?”

“As a matter of fact there is, there’s a lot of good people here in town, and I’ve been hearing that you’ve been causing some trouble making people uncomfortable.” Flash Sentry said keeping his resting bitchface up.

“How so, I don’t really talk to people.”

“You just have been, especially the woman. Now I’ve known you since High school, and even then you were a bit of a punk, but the people here are nervous. So I think it’ll be better if you don’t come into town anymore.”

“Why the hell not, It’s a free country.”

“There’s a town, just three miles out of here, you can take your business out there if you need to be but for now. I don’t want any trouble from you here.”

“I’m not causing trouble, and I don’t like being threatened. Why are you even bothering me anyway?”

“Just following orders, and make sure you stay out of town, and away from Jackie, Got it boy.” Flash Sentry poked his shoulder, Though Dusk watched him, doing everything he could not to beat this guy’s face in reminding himself over and over again it wouldn’t end well for him, and Celestia would lose a gasket if he had to call for her in jail. He twitched his middle finger as he nodded,

“Do you understand boy?” Flash Sentry said, in that condecending tone.

“Yeah, I get it. Can I leave Officer?”

“You may, and remember I don’t want to see your face here again.”

“No problem, and tell Muffin I said hey.” He got into his car and waited for the officer to leave. Watching him get into his squad car and drive away going in the diffrent direction. Dusk let out a sigh and shifted into Drive, and heading off towards the house.

The music playing again the wind in his hair, as he driving on, when Dusk began noticing that someone was driving behind him. In an old beat up truck, a chevy clearly as it seemed to be driving right behind him, riding his ass. Dusk rolled his eyes hitting the gas as he moved faster, he was going forty-five in a thirty-five.

Though as fast as he pushed the charger. The truck pushed faster.

“Go around, ya’h asshole!” Dusk screamed back as he waved his hand. The drive ignored him. Dusk let out a sigh, as he couldn’t see who was driving as he pushed the pedal to the metal. Driving faster Dusk was began pushing sixty,

“For fuck sakes Asshole what do you want.” Dusk was tempted to move in the left lane and stop but he had a bad feeling if he did something would happen. Suddenly he saw a ford driving right at him. It was moving fast. Dusks heart practically stopped as he jerked the wheel to the right, from fear of being hit. Dusk was ran off the road as he stopped. At this point Dusks blood was boiled as he got out of the charger and yelled out,

“Ok what the fuck is wrong with you two?” The trucks stopped and soon two men stepped out, big brooding men, who looked like they dragged bails of hay on a daily basis, when they weren’t riding with the Hells angels.

“We’re here to teach you a lesson, Rapist.” One muttered as he reached into the passenger seat of his truck pulling out a baseball bat, wooden. The kind that was ready to hit a home run.

“What the fuck, I’m not a rapist.” Dusk exclaimed while backing into the charger.

“Not what the papers say faggot.” The other said as he held onto a lead pipe. It was clear they wanted to hurt Dusk. Dusk looked around, and was clearly not close enough to the house, but too far from town. No one around, as he imagined running. He actually was about to till the first trucker grabbed him by his shirt.

“Not planning to run are you, cause that little girls daddy is paying some sweet cash, for use to teach you a lesson you’ll never forget, along with a message.” The other said while spitting out his chew.

“Whats that.” Dusk muttered while trying to think quickly.

“Never come back to town. Walk away and head to another state.” There they raised their weapon ready to beat Dusk to an inch of his life. Dusk suddenly did something he never expected himself to do. He kicked the one on the right, straight in the balls. The man went down dropping his lead pipe as he groaned while The other looked towards his friend in confusion. Practically dropping Dusk. And Dusk made a run for it.

He’d come back for the charger later, He could fix her up, if Dusk needed but if he was in a coma there would be nothing he could even do. He began running. His head turned back looking as the other two started chasing him. Dusk imagined he had the advantage of being younger and in better shape compared to the other two.

He ran as far as he could. Though Dusk’s only mistake was he hadn’t watched here he was going, he took the wrong step, when he accidently put his foot right into a mole hill. Dusk fell forward landing right on his face. His leg hurt, like really hurt. Not that he broke it though it’s clear he wasn’t going to be running on it as he tried to push forward. Though the two, whom Dusk was dubbing Iron WIll, and Timber. Grabbed his shoulder, turning him around as timber looked at Dusk chuckling.

“Oh this is going to be fun, you little fag.” He slammed the lead pipe into looks chest, as Dusk let out a hard groan. His chest hurt as he looked up. He wasn’t sure what was going to happen to him. As he bit his lips thinking,

Guess I’m not going to really make it up to Ember.

That was when he heard the sound of a motorcycle. It rolled in, as Iron will, and Timber turned around, puffing their chest up. Clearly trying to tell the ride to look away and forget about it.

Dusk could barely see as his vision blurred from the pain but he heard a voice a womans voice calling out,

“Arrg, y’ah bastards hurt my boss, A’hm about to kick y’alls ass.” As without warning something large and round was thrown at Iron will, while Timber screamed in fright. Dusk groaned as he watched the woman running down or at least the body of a woman holding a scythe. Dusk watched on as she was attacking them, Practically a drunken brawl as she punched them randomly. Iron will, started running as he threw the head back.

“What the fuck is that!” He screamed as he was heading off. Timber not far off behind as he screamed,

“The fuck if I know! Let’s get the fuck out of here!” As they ran away, Dusk groaned falling back resting his head.

“A’h swear your ass is lucky I was driving by otherwise your ass would be toast lad, now come on I’ll get you home, I swear by the fae, y’ah ruined my ride, you owe me a pint!” The irish woman said as she helped him back on his feet leading him towards her bike.

“Thanks,” Dusk muttered his breathing getting heavy as he held onto The Dullahan.

“Garrh don’t mention it. Now let’s get you back home, with a pint, and some rest.”

She put him on the seat and got on herself as she muttered,

“Hold on big boy. Try not to fall off.” She let out a slight lick, as she kicked off the bike and they where gone. Dusk holding on as they would drive off to the house.

“I swear when he gets back I’m kicking his ass.” The white haired Dragon said, as she stood there, stuck in a form between dragon and human.

“Will you relax Ember he was just trying to do something nice, beside we’ve been meaning to clean the attic, just because of you we couldn’t move anything.” Celestia said rolling her eyes, as she glanced at her phone ready to call Dusk but for some reason he hadn’t been answering his phone.

“But I like my attic its so warm and cozy, I swear I’m going to make him move my stuff back up into my room.” The Dragoness groaned clearly annoyed as smoke blew from her mouth as though she was ready to set something, or someone on fire.

“Take a chill pill There Ember, ok, something isn’t right Dusk hasn’t answered his phone.”

“I hope Dusks ok,” Applejack said as she sat on the couch clearly worried for Dusk not sure why he was taking so long, Sunset was off cleaning a the time clearly in a better mood then she was before.

“I don’t care, if he’s not here in the next ten seconds I’m gonna!” Ember was interupted with the door swining opened and Dusk was standing there, his body covered in sweat Blood falling down the side of his head as he looked like he had the shit beaten out of him hanging onto Spitfire.

“Dusk!”

“I found him like this, took care of the blokes that attacked him, made em run like the bitches they are. He’s not close to death, so thats good but he’s going to need to rest.” She moved patting him Dusk Hissed in pain.

“Fine lets get him in bed, I swear I thought it was bad, But not this bad. Ember come on help get his side same for you Applejack.

“Alright come on sugar pie, let’s get you to bed honey.” Applejack moved over grabbing Dusks side, Ember rolled her eyes, as she got the otherside.

“I don’t see why I need to help. Applejack could lift him up with just a single arm.”
“Because it’ll be better on Dusk, and you’ve got to be more nice to him. Come on.” Celestia muttered clearly not taking any shit from anyone. The Dragoness huffed and puffed while she went on and helped Applejack, as they began helping Dusk get to his room.
