A New Life and a New Home.

The last words Miles uttered "Oh fuck" left his mouth milliseconds before impact. The projectile tore through his tattered clothes and sent him flying into a wall sending rubble from the wall falling onto him burying him in a tomb of rocks. His chest was burnt and his skin was black and falling off in places.

"Good riddance". The prince turned and walked away towards the exit of the hall. The ponies in the room started tearing up at the loss of their hero, his time so short, yet loved by all of those that knew him. As the prince neared the  exit from the room, the crowed, the guards and the princesses began to tear up at the loss of a beloved friend.

Seconds later he was charging through the hall once again where the fight took place and Miles lay buried chasing the CMC who were running around with a blue bow-tie in their mouths giggling.

The trio stopped in their tracks and looked around to see everyone in the room with tearful eyes. "Why is everypony sad?" Scootaloo asked the crowed.

"Oh girls, you're here." Celestia managed to speak out through her tears.

"Why are you crying, princess?" Sweetie-belle asked the mourning princess. Celestia only pointed to the rubble where some guards were trying their hardest to move the stone and brick away.

"Miles got into a fight with Blueblood and...." Celestia started crying once more as did everypony else. The CMC teared up and started crying until being barged into by an outraged prince.

"You have touched my royal clothing. How dare you!" Blueblood spoke down to the fillies.

"YOU! You killed him! You took him away from us! How dare you act as if it was nothing!" Luna angrily shouted through her tears that sparkled with the light reflecting off them.

"You....you killed him..." Scootaloo said with a mixture of being appalled, anger and shock while the other two fillies just stared at the prince with tears in their eyes.

"Yes, he was worth nothing. Even common ponies are worth more than that thing. He was also violent and a threat to me." The prince admitted with no emotion in his voice.

"You are no prince, you're just a murderer!" Scootaloo screamed.

"Quiet! For i shall have no problem doing the same to you. you are worthless and maybe even more so than that creature" He said staring down the orange filly and pointing a hoof at her face as his horn started to glow again.

Guards positioned themselves between the prince and the filly without orders. "You come here, kill the princesses' hero and claim it was justified because he was 'less' than you. And now you declare you would assault a child!" Shining Armour pointed a hoof at the prince who still stood tall as if to say he had done nothing wrong.

Everyone in the room heard the sound of rocks moving only to see the guards were not moving them. The tears stopped and shock took their place as Miles burst out of his rocky tomb and charged at the white unicorn

"I WILL KILL YOU! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" Miles had charred flesh hanging off of him but didn't care or didn't notice due to the adrenaline.

"How are you still alive?" The shocked prince quickly started shaking. The guards along with the princesses and the crowed smiled that he was alive but the princesses worried of what was just about to happen.

Blueblood tried to run but was blocked off by royal guards at all sides. Miles tackled the prince to the floor and threw punch after punch to his face knocking a couple teeth out of his mouth. After a couple more punches Miles stood up. Blueblood tried to get away but was being held back by his tail in Miles' hand

"Oh, don't think I'm done with you yet." Miles said with a sadistic tone that would make the hardest of men cower. Miles gripped the tail with both hands and lifted him into the air and slammed him back to the ground with a satisfying crack that made most of the crowed and even a few of the guards flinch.

"Aunts help!" He wailed in pain as he was lifted once again and slammed with more force than the first time. If you looked into Miles' eyes you could see he was out for blood.

The prince wailed and screamed as he was raised and slammed into the ground similar to the fight between the Hulk and Loki in the Avengers. The cries of pain and begging for mercy eventually stopped which signaled he was out cold. But Miles wasn't finished. Miles landed blow after blow to Blueblood's ribs cracking most of them.

Celestia had had enough. "Miles! Stop!" Celestia ordered in the royal Canterlot voice.

"Is this your wish too?" He looked at the orange pony that was threatened by the prince. She nodded her head slowly seeing how Miles was still enraged and could go off again any second. Miles just stood upright and looked at the crowed breathing heavily.

"UH OH!" Twilight exclaimed. Celestia turned to Twilight and asked "why 'Uh oh'?"

"Look at his chest, his skin is burnt beyond belief and the only reason he isn't in pain is because of the adrenaline in his body." Twilight explained

"How long do you think it will last.........." Celestia was cut off by loud screaming. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!" Miles screamed louder than Blueblood did when being attacked. The screaming continued until he passed out from the pain.

*The next morning*

Miles awoke with a jolt of electricity going through his chest. "Again" A voice said as two cold pieces of metal touch his chest. Another jolt went through him as he gasped loudly.

"Oh thank goodness you're awake" A voice said but Miles couldn't see who it was for his eyes were adjusting to the light.

"What happened?" Miles asked before his memory returned to him. "Oh god I killed him!" Miles shouted as he hid his head under his arms "I'm a monster."

"No, you are not a monster, you were protecting that young child from a certain death." Shining walked through the door with a look of neither happiness nor joy. "You were very close though. He was one more kick or punch from death."

Miles looked around to see doctors with defibrillators and checking his vital signs and Shining stood next to him. "You yourself are very lucky to be alive too. You were so badly burnt from the blast that it even got your heart. Luckily we could restart it after it stopped." One of the doctors spoke.

Celestia, Luna, the mane six and the CMC walked through the door and smiled to see he was alive. "How are you, Miles?" Fluttershy asked.

Before he could answer he saw an orange blur jump at him and hug him tightly "AAAAAGH" Miles screamed as she landed on his chest.

"Sorrysorrysorry please don't hurt me!" Scootaloo jumped off scared she might be next to get a beating.

"Ho-ho-ho-holy shit that hurt!" Miles said in pain. "Try to be careful next time please" Miles said with a look of sadness.

"You aren't going to hurt me?" Scootaloo asked.

"No. Why would I do that?" Miles asked confused letting the sadness leave him.

"Well, you went nuts when beating up that meanie and you nearly killed him." Scootaloo said.

Celestia walked up to Miles noticing his sadness "What is troubling you, Miles." She asked with concern.

"She's right. I went nuts and I nearly killed him. It started as me defending those who would get hurt by his arrogance and defending Scoots but when I started I didn't want to stop.  I have never felt so angry before in my life. I was ok with dying in that rubble because it would stop him going off on one again and therefore no ponies would be hurt by him being irrational, but when he threatened scoots I just couldn't help it. It was like I wasn't even in control of my own body.........and it felt good."

Celestia placed a hoof on his shoulder making sure to avoid the damaged area "What you did was wrong, normally somepony who did what you did would be killed on sight for almost murdering a royal family member." The word 'murder' hurt him more than anything else. "But you, you had a reason to do what you did. He was a danger and you were defending those who could not defend themselves. And for that I thank you." She said with a warming smile.

"But that's the thing, it started off for the right reasons but because he tried to kill me I just wanted an eye for an eye." Miles said covering his head once again and pulling a sheet over his face from the bottom of the bed over his head. "I'm a monster."

Fluttershy flew over and pulled down the cover only for it to be pulled up again "Oh Miles, you aren't a monster, none of us here think of you any differently, maybe a bit more violent than we thought yes, but we still love you."

"Just leave me alone for a while ok." A muffled voice came form under the sheets. "And can I have my IPod please?"

Everyone left the room left and Miles jut sighed and tried to relax "I'm going to end up dead at this rate, I find a place that accepts me and I end up nearly killing one of it's leaders and burning my chest and stopping my heart. Great."

Miles started feeling tired and decided to go to sleep for a while only for haunting dreams to torture his mind.

************************************************************************************************************************************************

(Miles' P.O.V)

Miles awoke to an empty room and his IPod on a table to his left. "I hope he can forgive me." Miles said to himself.

Miles had a small pain in his chest. Moving the covers to his chest level he saw no sign of injury other than a massive scar where he was burnt, "Wow that healed quick. I wonder if magic did it." Miles droned as he looked at his shirt which was close to being entirely gone and his arm to see a similar scar but no bandages as he tried to get out of bed but couldn't move his legs "Oh god I'm paralyzed." He shouted looking down at his legs. Moments later he saw movement under the cover that wasn't him.

"What the fuck?" Miles said silently to himself. A second later Fluttershy popper head out from under the cover.

"F..Fluttershy?! What are you doing here?" Miles asked surprised. Fluttershy only yawned with extreme cuteness. "Christ, if that was any more cute I would be diabetic right now." He thought to himself.

"Oh, good afternoon Miles." Fluttershy said with the brightest smile ever.

"What are you doing under there?" And didn't I ask to be left alone?" Miles said with curiosity getting the better of him.

Fluttershy looked away blushing "Well, you did but Twilight and the princesses came in when you were asleep to heal your wounds. And well, you were having nightmares so I got under the covers and hugged you to calm you down and relax you. But you are very comfy and I sort of fell asleep." She took a sheepish look upon her face.

"Fine, but next time if you want to use me as a pillow just ask." Miles said with a smile that made Fluttershy feel more comfortable.

"What's that poking me under your clothes?" Fluttershy looked down at a bulge in his clothes. "Nothing! Nope, it's not important. Why don't we get onto a different subject?" Miles frantically tried to get off the subject of his morning wood well, afternoon wood.

The rest of the group from earlier on came in to find Fluttershy resting her head on his stomach and her body underneath the covers with him. "Oh wow, Fluttershy and Miles are a couple!" Pinkie exclaimed jumping up and down.

"No, Miles was just having a bad dream and I was just comforting him!" Fluttershy went tomato red.

"Okie-dokie-lokie" Pinkie smiled. The rest of the group giggled.

"Anyway...we came to tell you that Blueblood is locked up  for his crimes for the time being and that we are having another party tonight so everypony can meet you without the fear of being injured." Luna looked at the two under the covers. "You know, you are sending the wrong message if you aren't a couple. Everypony will think you are if you're in bed together."

Fluttershy and Miles climbed out of bed sucking in his gut so he wouldn't seem so chubby and joined the rest of the group walking to the party. on the way there Celestia took notice of the bulge in his trousers (pants if you're american). "What is that Miles?" Staring at the bulge while still walking down the hallway. "It's nothing. It'll go away in a couple minutes." Miles brushed off the subject. As Miles walked through the door into the hall he was nearly deafened by the cheers of joy that he was alive.

"This is all for me?" Miles asked with delight.

"Well, you did kind of save me and the other party got ruined." Scootaloo smiled.

"Thank you" Miles shouted waving to the crowed but tried to look humble at the same time. The group walked to the crowed of ponies to talk and get a drink when Miles came face to face with Fancy Pants once again

"I do say, considering the beating you took yesterday, you look very well." Fancy Pants gave a small grin. "

Well, I owe it to the princesses and Twilight."Miles said modestly.

Miles and Fancy chatted a bit about Canterlot and the sights to see until something landed on his head. "Hey, what the hell?!" Miles said in utter confusion. Reaching  onto the back of his neck only to pull Scootaloo off his head. "What are you doing up there?" He said holding the filly in his hands that were nearly half as big as her.

"You saved me from being killed and you are now my official hero. And that means I'm going to follow you to the ends of equestria and beyond!" She exclaimed with pride.

"I'm not a hero. I just help those that need it." Replied Miles.

"Can I sit on your shoulders?" She asked changing the subject.

"Fine." Miles sighed. Fancy let a small grin place itself on his face. "Smirk all you want, but remember I'm the one they want to be around." Miles chuckled. Miles took notice of Fancy eyeing the floor just behind Miles. Miles turned around to see Sweetie and AB.

"Let me guess, you want to sit on me too, don't you?" Miles asked fully aware of what they would say. The 2 fillies just nodded in agreement. "You aren't going to let me say no, are you?" The two fillies just shook their heads.

Miles bent down so the other two could get up. He now had Sweetie on his left shoulder, AB on his right and Scoots sat on top of his head. "So, how did you get onto me Scoots? I had to pick up Sweetie and AB." Miles said as he tried to keep them balanced.

"Well, I'm a pegasus but i can't fly. But I can jump higher than most ponies." She sounded proud.

"Take us over to the drinks. For I am thirsty!" Sweetie ordered trying to sound like Celestia.

"Well, I must take these lot for a drink. It was fun talking with you." Miles said to Fancy as he walked away.

"Same to you." Fancy called out after him.

Miles walked over to the drinks and let the fillies on the floor while he took a seat next to a sand brown pegasus with a royal blue mane and a wavy blue arrow for a cutie mark. "Well, what can I do for you?" The tan pony asked.

"I just need to get off of my feet for a bit. I just need to sit down for a while. Still feeling a little weak and tired from yesterday." Miles sighed,

"Well, my name is Zephyr Verve. If you ever need anything just let me know." He said with a smile on his face and taking a drink. "Those kids the ones you saved?"

"Three of them. There were more that I saved but they aren't here." He said leaning back in his seat. Once the band had finished their song another group came on and started playing a rock song. Nothing heavy but a nice tune and tempo which everyone agreed with.

"Listen to that guitar, it is fantastic." Miles said to Zephyr.

"Do you play?" Zephyr asked.

"Not in a long time." Miles replied. Miles was unaware that Pinkie was listening in and gained a devious grin.

Miles and Zephyr just sat back and listened to the band play for a while until they ended their final song. Pinkie took place on stage and spoke to the crowed "Attention everypony. Miles is going to play a song for us."

Miles fell backwards in his chair. "What!? When did I agree to do that?"

"Well, I heard you haven't played in a long time and thought you might want to give it a go." The crowed cheered for him to go on stage and play.

"I need a drummer, you any good?" Miles asked Zephyr. "I'm ok." He said getting up along with Miles and walking to the stage. Miles got a guitar and Zephyr took place at the drum kit.

The lights dimmed and fog started to flow onto the stage. The princesses took place next to the stage up front and waited with anticipation. Fluttershy,Rarity,Rainbow,Twilight,AppleJack,Pinkie,Cadence,Shining and the CMC stood with the rest of the crowed. Miles just turned to Zephyr "Just play what comes natural or what you feel like playing and it should be good." He smiled nervously.

Miles went to the mic and addressed the crowed "This is my first time in many years since I've played. Be warned, I might  not be very good."  A cheer came from Pinkie "Who cares. Just play your heart out. WOO!"

As Miles and Zephyr played, the crowed just watched in awe at the musical talent of Miles and Zephyr. Even Octavia was enjoying it. Many other ponies started whistling and "WOO"ing. The rest of the song played out and everyone cheered and congratulated them as they walked off stage high-fiving each other. Miles and Zephyr got separated by the crowed trying to talk to them or just congratulate them.

"Wow, that was quite the treat that you and your friend gave us." Celestia praised him.

"Yes, that was magnificent. I really enjoyed it." Luna commented.

The rest of the group congratulated him after which Zephyr walked up to him "Wow, they really like us." Miles took notice of a white unicorn with an electric blue mane and sunglasses.

"You two are good. I'm DJ Pon-3 and I would like if possible for you to play again. You got talent and I could use it." She said encouragingly.

Miles looked at the crowed that was standing behind the white unicorn cheering them for an encore. Miles looked at Zephyr "Ready for round two?"

"Sure. Same as last time, you play and I do what feels right?" He asked. Miles just nodded as they got back onto stage and got to their instruments.  jordan The cheers died down as they started to play.

As the song went on they saw the DJ with a huge smile which they took as a good sign. The crowed applauded and cheered as the song ended and they left the stage.

Miles felt a thud on the back of his head. "Scoots, give a warning next time." Miles sighed.

"Nope." Scoots said without hesitation making Zephyr laugh at Miles.

"Miles looked at the other two fillies on the floor next to his feet "Girls, jump onto Zephyr and use him as a ride." The girls jumped onto the tan pony which immediately stopped laughing. Miles giggled and went to get a drink along with Zephyr.

As the night went on the party died down and ponies left until it was just The princesses, the guards, the mane six, the CMC, Zephyr and Miles. As the last of the ponies left for their rooms Zephyr decided it was time to head off home "I'll see you later." He shouted flying off into the distance.

Miles went back to his room only to be followed by the CMC. "Aren't you going to bed?" Miles asked.

The three fillies said in unison "We're going to bed with you. It can be a sleepover in a sleepover".

Miles sighed and just continued to walk to his room. Once they reached his room they went inside and climbed into bed. "Night girls."

"Night." They said in unison. Miles turned over in his bed thinking "This is so wrong, they thought me and Flutters were a couple just from her being in the same bed. What are they going to think of me in with three kids?" Miles tossed and turned while the CMC snored until he finally fell into a dreamless sleep.
