It was 7:30 on a Friday evening, as Peace Poet, his childhood friends, and the Elements were finishing their homework for school. They were all in their bed wear, as Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack brought in some snacks for everyone. The only complaint was the seating arrangement. Golden Heart was sitting closely next to her boyfriend Hyper Active on the couch, as Peace was sitting on a lone chair. So, the first one to speak up was Glorious Miracle.

"Amigo, are you sure you wanna sit by yourself? You look lonely there.", she said, moving her long hair from part of her face looking worried.

"I'm alright. Besides, both couches are full. I'm good.", Peace said with a smile, as most of the girls were disappointed that Peace wasn't sitting on one of the couches. This gave Goldie an idea; she sat up and sat on Hype's lap, as she patted the spot so Peace can come and sit. With a sigh, Peace got up from the chair and sat on the couch between Hype with Goldie and Rarity. Peace and Rarity looked at each other and smiled, as the rest looked on trying not to look jealous. Goldie's phone rang, as she got a text from one of her classmates. And when Peace looked at the background picture of Goldie's phone, it was a picture of when Peace, Goldie, Hype, and Glori were twelve years old. But Peace's smile faded when he saw the fifth person in the picture. It was a girl with long blue hair leaning her head on Peace's shoulder. Rainbow sees Peace with a sad frown and ask...

"Um, Peace, are you OK?", the blue Pegasus asked, as Peace gave her a sad smile.

"I'm cool, Dash. I think I'm gonna turn in early tonight. My bags are already packed the weekend anyway.", Peace said softly, as he got up from the couch. When Hype was about to say something, he looked at Goldie's phone, taps her leg and showed her the pic on her phone. Goldie's eyes widened, looking horrified at why Peace got up. She got up and hugged Peace from behind.

"I'm so sorry, Peace. I forgot to...", Peace turned around and hugged Goldie. He broke the hug and looked at Goldie with a smile and said...

"I understand that you, Hype, and Glori put me and Ocean together, and I thank y'all for that. I'm not blamin' y'all for that at all, and I guess I can't blame her for doin' what she did, either. I love you and Glori like my sisters, and I love Hype like a brother. But a love relationship is somethin' that I'll never have. See y'all in the mornin'.", as Peace turns and ran up the steps, he stopped at the top and looked down at everyone with worried looks on their faces. He looked at Glori with a sad smile and said...

"Glori, congratulations on confessin' to the Pegasus Calm Waves today. I'm proud of ya. Goodnight, y'all.", Peace then went in his room and closed the door. Glori and Hype went to Goldie standing at the bottom of the steps, hugging her. Goldie looked down in shame.

"I should've deleted this pic. Peace isn't nosy to look at our phones, but I didn't think he saw my background pic. I just made him feel worse.", she said with a sad sigh.

"Babe, I know that Peace already forgave ya, but he's hurtin'. He doesn't show it, but his heart is broken inta so many pieces. If only we knew what THAT girl was plannin' before...", Hype said in frustration. Twilight stood up and asked...

"I'm guessing that with you two and Glori being in love relationships is hurting Peace more?", she asked, as Glori spoke with a sad sigh.

"Si. He's happy for us, but it's hard for Peace to get over his ex. We introduced her to him, and Peace was as happy as we've seen him. But...", Glori couldn't say the next sentence, because she was about to cry with tears forming in her eyes. Sunset also stood up and headed upstairs.

"Sunset...?", Fluttershy spoke in a worried tone.

"Don't worry, Flutters. I'm just gonna talk to Peace and check on him." the orange unicorn said, as she got in front of Peace's door and knocked on it. Peace said come in, and Sunset saw him on the balcony floor meditating with his eyes closed.

"I'm sorry, Peace, but can we talk for a sec?", Sunset asked, as Peace nodded with his eyes open, still in his meditating position, as he sighed deeply.

"I'm a jerk, aren't I? I made a great friend cry cuz of how I felt, right?", Peace said, looking straight at Sunset's eyes looking dismal.

"Peace, I understand how you feel, not having the one you love by your side. But please understand that everyone's trying to help you get over your ex. It's really her loss for dumping a good looking, sweet, and caring guy. I know about the punishment games too, and they can be either good or really bad. In your case, really bad. I'm really sorry for what happened to you, Peace. You didn't deserve what she did to you. Me, Twi, and the rest of the girls will help you. And...", Sunset looked behind her to see the door still closed, as she crawled to Peace like a preying tiger with a smirk. Her shirt had three buttons undone, as Peace was wide eyed at Sunset's deep cleavage, seeing her left breast was about to spill out of her shirt, which Peace can see half of Sunset's areola.

"I'll show you what your ex never did to you. All you have to do is--", when Sunset was about to make her move, she heard the door open with a little creak on the hinges. She, along with Peace, sense a lot of murderous stares, besides Hyper Active and Peachbottom, at the doorway. Peace gulped in fear.

"N-Now girls, hold on. This was not my idea...", he said very nervously, as Rarity said, with her eye twitching.

"I know, darling, Sunset stole MY idea!", Rarity said, giving Sunset the death glare. Peachbottom went inside the room and spoke to Peace.

"Honey, I can understand heartache, and I know that you're happy that your childhood friends have their special somepony, er, someone. But they also want ya ta have a great life too, sugar. Plus, there are mares in this room who'd love ta be with ya right now...", Peachbottom looked at Twilight and her friends with a smirk, as each of them were bleaching beet red. Peace was shocked that they felt that way towards him.

"Wow! If I'm bein' honest, I'm really flattered that y'all feel that about me. But I'm not...", Sunset put a finger on his mouth to stop his sentence, as she spoke and said...

"If you're worried about us having stallions of our own, don't worry about it. Equestia's rules are different from Earth's. Pinkie Pie has a stallion, but she can have more than one. I'm sure Principal Celestia told you this; you can have more than one mare, like a mare can have more than one stallion. That happens for same genders, too. I know it's only been a week, but you're a great guy, Peace. The girl that dumped you, it's her loss for throwing a great guy away.", Sunset said, as she got up from the floor, as Twilight walked towards Peace and said...

"Peace, we all want you to feel loved here in Equestria. We will make sure that you'll never be heartbroken again. On behalf of the girls, will you accept us as more than friends?", Twilight asked shyly in Fluttershy's level. Peace got up from the floor and looked at each of the Element Bearers. They all had the look of hope and nervous on their faces, which Peace had the same look.

"Before I give y'all my answer, I have one important question. Will y'all be OK with a guy like me? I may be a strong Saiyan and a poet, but I do have flaws and can be vulnerable, but I wanna be there for everyone I love that's close to me. Will y'all accept me for who I am and what I do?", Peace finished his question, as Rainbow Dash stepped up with a smile and said...

"Bro, we've already accepted ya when we met you and your friends. Just like me, you're awesome!", the rainbow maned Pegasus said proudly.

"You saved me from Blueblood the first time I saw you. I want to return the favor, darling, for being my savior from the brute prince. Let me show you my amazing gratitude and generosity!", Rarity said with a dramatic pose, as the rest either rolled their eyes and chuckle.

"Um, if you like, I'd like to show you more of the sanctuary and, um, more...", Fluttershy said timidly, while twirling her finger in her hair.

"I promise ya, you'll feel more loved than ever, SugarCube. Like Dash, we're not in ta sappy stuff, but we'll help ya any way we can.", Applejack said, as she tipped her hat.

"You're strong as rock candy, but as lovable as a cupcake, Peace. Having you here is the best thing ever! My family, my friends, my Cheese Sandwich are important! But...", Pinkie's demeanor went from bubbly to sincere with a caring smile, as she walked towards Peace and put both of her hands on Peace's right hand.

"But you're also important to me too, Peace. The loved ones are special to me, like you're special to me, to us.", the party pony hesitantly released Peace's hand, still smiling, but with hope.

"You're a hard worker in school, music, jobs, and fighting skills. Like all of us, you're passionate at what you do. Twilight and the girls healed mine and Sunset's hearts after...what we did.", Starlight winced at the memory, as Twilight put a hand on her shoulder with a smile. Goldie, Hype, and Glori walked towards Peace, as Goldie hugged Peace, and said...

"I'm really sorry for keeping the picture, Peace. It was my favorite pic form that time. I'll...", as Golden Heart was about to get her phone to delete the pic, Peace stopped her and gave her a smile and said...

"You don't have to do that; I know ya love the pic, so keep it. Besides, you and Glori are sisters ta me. Hype will always be my bro for life, no matter what.", the young Saiyan said, as both Goldie and Glori hugged him from both sides and Hype gave him a fist bump. Peace and his friends looked at Twilight and the others waiting for his answer. Peachbottom spoke to Peace.

"Honey, I can understand ya wanna get over your ex, but the only way to do that is ta find another that'll love ya for who and what you are.", as she motioned the bearers of the Elements of Harmony who are waiting patiently for Peace's answer. Glori and Goldie gave him a nod, as he looked at the young mares, and said...

"Twilight, here's my answer: I accept.", the girls cheered and were about to go and hug Peace, until Rainbow got to him first, as Goldie and Glori quickly moved out of the way. The rest of the girls had envious and jealous looks on their faces, as Glori and Goldie had of their own.

"Rainbow Dash, I know that you wanted to hug Peace, but no need to be in a rush!", Rarity angrily said with a huff.

"Look, Peace needs a hug from someone that's...wait for it...awesome! Plus, there's something that me and AJ need to tell him.", Dash said in a half yell, as Applejack looked nervous. But Peace put his finger on her lips, while he smiled.

"I already know; you and AJ are bisexual.", both AJ and Dash were shocked to hear Peace say it so calm and casual.

"Wait a ponytail minute, partner! How'd ya know about that?", the blonde Earth mare asked.

"Big Mac told me after the practice session and after y'all left ahead of us. Look, I'm not gonna discriminate anyone's sexuality. I accept those for who and what they are, and I still accept you both. plus, you two are inseparable and always challengin' each other. And no, y'all don't have ta change for me. Like I told Hype, Goldie, and Glori, y'all are great as you are, all of you.", everyone was touched by Peace's words, as they all, including Peachbottom, went in for a group hug. Then, Glori spoke to Peace and said...

"Well, amigo, now you have eight girlfriends. Imagine how your ex would feel about that.", all Peace did was shrugged, as he smiled from ear to ear. Although, he did have this thought in his head.

"Well, Mama, I hope I'm makin' ya proud to be with these many girls. Although please don't kill me for lookin' at...", as Peace thought that, while Rarity's boobs were right in his face. Needless to say, he's going to have a long weekend at the Crystal Empire.

Speaking of the Crystal Empire, in the foyer, Princess Cadence was sitting in a chair wearing her light blue nightgown. Shining Armor is also with her wearing a white t-shirt and yellow shorts with Pokemon on them. Cadence had the look of worry, while looking at her cellphone.

"Caddie, are you feeling somepony's heartbroken again?", Shining asked with concern.

"Not somepony, someone. Luna called me earlier and told me that she looked into Peace Poet's dream of how he was cheated on by a girl named Ocean Light. She did it as a punishment game.", Cadence said bitterly, while Shining clutched his fist.

"I guess Peace's world isn't much different from ours for the punishment game. You also said that Twily and her friends are with him as his marefriends to make him feel loved again.", Shining said, calming down a little.

"Yeah, and I'm happy for her, her friends, and Peace. But I'm gonna test Peace one night when he gets here.", the Princess of Love said with a smirk and a brow up.

"Ohhhh.... I gotcha, but Celestia said that he's pure.", Shining said, as Cadence spoke.

"I can tell he's pure, even Luna said so. She and Celestia told me a plan for Peace when he and the rest get here.", Cadence said nervously, as Shining got suspicious and only said...

"I'm listening, babe.", Cadence explain the whole plan from both the Royal Sisters.

(Flashback)

It was seven-thirty in the evening and Celestia and Luna were in Celestia's room on the phone on speaker with Cadence explaining the plan for Peace.

"Thank you for agreeing to talk to us, Cadence. I know you can sense love, hate, and heartbreak from everypony, but when you texted me today that you can sense the heartbreak from Peace the most, I knew this would be an appropriate time to talk.", Celestia said.

"Yeah, Luna told me that while looking in Peace's dreamscape. That girl he used to be with looked familiar, though.", Cadence said, as Luna used her magic to take a photograph of who she saw in Peace's dreamscape. Cadence also looked at the name of the girl in the photo and she was in shock and disbelief.

"Her? It was HER that broke up with Peace?! She treated him like that for a punishment game?!", Cadence was furious on who the girl is, as she now knows the identity of the girl. Then, she asked a very important question...

"Does Peace know who she really is?", the Princess of Love asked, as Luna answered.

"No, and not even his father knows. You do know that Thunder Hammer is Peace's father, right?", Luna asked, as she heard a sigh from Cadence on the other side of the line.

"Yeah, Twilight and Spike told me one day on the phone. Can we not talk about Peace's ex? Seeing and knowing who she is now is staring to piss me off.", Cadence said, with anger rising. Celestia quickly changed the subject.

"Very well, Cadence. And believe me and Luna, we know how you feel. Anyways, Since Peace agreed to go to the Crystal Empire, I want you to do something special for Peace, and we hope that Shining Armor would cooperate with it.", Celestia said nervously.

"Auntie, why are you hoping that Shiny cooperates with what you want me to do?", Cadence asked suspiciously, as Luna cleared her throat and spoke.

"Well, we want you to, loosely speaking, seduce Peace.", there was a long pause at the other end, as Cadence finally said this...

"Let me get this straight, you want me, a married mare, to seduce Peace Poet? I don't know if Shiny would ever agree with that!", Cadence said, half yelled.

"I know that it's a strange request, but we just want to prove that Peace is innocent and pure. Just think about it and discuss this with Shining Armor.", Celestia said with a pleading tone, as Cadence let out a frustrating sigh.

"I'll see what Shining says about this. Of all the craziest reasons you two told me so far, this would take the cake, and I don't mean Pinkie's cake.", Cadence said, as the Royal Sisters sighed in relief.

"Well, there's a good reason for this; we want Peace to regain being in love relationships again. Twilight and her friends have special feelings for him. So...", and that was when Cadence's demeanor changed from unsure to worried. She wants to help everyone to make their love relationships great, especially after heartbreak. She nodded her head with some confidence and said...

"OK, I'll do it. I don't know how Shining will take the news, but you better hope he agrees. If not, it'll be your fault for a quick divorce.", and that was the end of the phone call.

(End Flashback)

Cadence finished her explanation to her husband and see how he'd react. And after a full minute of Shining Armor thinking, he gave his wife an answer.

"OK. I'll agree with that.", Shining said with a calm and cool demeanor. Cadence on the other hand was a bit shocked by his answer.

"Shiny, are you sure you want me to do this? I don't think this is...", Shining got up and hugged his worried wife, as he said...

"I can understand that you're worried about cheating on me, but this reason is to heal Peace's heart and give him a little push to be in love relationships again. Twily and the girls, along with his friends from Earth, are also trying to heal his heart. Do what you can to help Peace, Cady. You have my support in this.", and with that, both Shining and Cadence kissed passionately for a minute and broke the kiss, as they looked at each other smiling.

"You're right, honey. Peace does deserve happiness in his life. And I'm gonna show him the love in Equestria really is.", she said, as Luna's night sky with the full moon started to glisten.

(On Earth)

The girl with blue hair was sitting in the middle of an empty baseball field with two duffel bags and suitcases, as a bright light flashes in front of her. She shielded her eyes with her hand for a moment, as she put her hand down, four men in black suits appeared.

"We are ready, Your Highness.", she said nothing, but nodded in agreement, as the men picked up her luggage and got in position. Before they all teleported, she had this thought in her mind.

"Father, Sister, Peace, I hope you can forgive me."
