Shine like the Day and Night

After dropping off Sonata, Silverbolt drove all the way home and had explained everything to Princess Twilight of how he first met them. As they were halfway home, Princess Twilight was shocked to hear this from Silverbolt.

“And that’s how I first met them.” Concluded Silverbolt.

“I…I had no idea.” Said Princess Twilight “Are you sure it’s them?”

“Trust me,” said Silverbolt “I recognize their Siren aura anywhere.”

“But if they’re your friends,” said Spike as he peaked from the seat “How the heck did they become evil? And from what you described, they didn’t have any jewels on them. So the question is, where did they come from?”

“I’m still trying to piece them together.” Said Silverbolt. “If only I had pieces of those stones I would figure out where they got them.”

He looked down in sadness and said “I should’ve been there for them.”

Princess Twilight placed her hand on his shoulder out of sympathy. “I’m so sorry Silverbolt. If the same thing had happened to my friends, I would’ve done the same thing.”

“Let’s hope it never comes to you.” Said Silverbolt. “Twilight. Coming to stay here was part of the reason. The rest was that I was looking for them. I never stopped looking.”

“So…you’ve been looking for them for more than a hundred years?” asked Spike.

“I did.” Said Silverbolt. “I was looking for them. To tell them I’m sorry that I couldn’t find them. That I wanted to know that after all this time, if we’re still friends.”

Silverbolt wiped his face with his one hand in sadness with a sigh. “I should’ve been there.”

“There was nothing you could’ve done.” Said Princess Twilight “Some things were just beyond our control.”

“I know.” Said Silverbolt. He then took a deep breath and let the air out. He looked at her and said “So, want me to show you?”

“Are you sure?” asked Princess Twilight in concern.

“Yeah, I could use the distraction.” Said Silverbolt.

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

Sure enough, they arrived back at the mansion and parked the car. Once they climbed out, Twilight used her magic, yes, her magic, through her hands as she levitated the pizzas, whilst Silverbolt was carrying the cake and sodas.

“This is incredible.” Said Princess Twilight in excitement whilst they were on their way to the house “I was so used to using my magic through my horn, but now I’m using it through my hands. And I should thank you for giving me this advice. I mean tapping into the magic but in a different frequency. It’s amazing.”

“Thanks.” Said Silverbolt “When I saw this world’s Twilight using her magic, I figured you’d have the same ability. She only uses her hands to lift stuff. Though I sometimes worry that she might get a nosebleed and migraine if she puts too much strain on the object she wants to lift.”

“You know,” said Spike as he thought about something “I remember Twilight tried to use an advance spell once, but she ended up getting a nosebleed and collapsed onto the ground and was sent to the hospital.”

“Really?” said Silverbolt as he looked at Princess Twilight.

“Not one of my finest moments.” Said Princess Twilight sheepishly as she didn’t want to think of that night again.

They then saw the Rainboom’s vehicles, and a few others parked in front of the house.

“Huh, I guess the others must’ve made it before us.” Said Princess Twilight.

“And a good thing too,” said Silverbolt “The spell I placed is about to wear off.”

Spike opened the door for them, allowing the both of them to go inside.

“We’re ho…!!” Spike wanted to shout until Silverbolt quickly placed his hand on Spike’s mouth.

Both Princess Twilight and Spike were confused, until Silverbolt said “Trust me, when it comes to Pizzas, kids tend to go crazy. Let’s just go to the kitchen and set them on the table and bring out the plates and pizza cutter, then we’ll call them.”

The other two agreed, allowing them to quickly go to the kitchen and place everything at their spot. The pizzas, cakes and sodas, along with the plates, pizza cutters and drinking glasses.

“Alright, that should do it.” Said Princess Twilight.

“Should we call them now?” asked Spike.

“That we should.” Said Silverbolt as he walked over at the kitchen entrance and shouted “PIZZA DELIVERY!!!”

Silverbolt quickly took a few steps back as they heard loud rumbling noises. Soon enough, the rest of the Mane 6, the Rainbooms, Dog Spike and the six boys that they mentioned all showed up at the kitchen, with Silverbolt being able to put up a forcefield, making them stop against it. Both Princess Twilight and Spike were surprised by this.

“Whoa, you weren’t kidding.” Said Dragon Spike.

“Told ya.” Said Silverbolt.

He dropped the forcefield, allowing them to move forward.

“Hey, what’s the big idea?” said Pony Rainbow Dash.

“Yeah, that really hurt.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Sorry about that,” said Silverbolt to them “But you guys should learn to control yourselves when it comes to pizzas.”

“Sorry about that.” Said Pony Pinkie Pie.

“Who doesn’t love a good pizza?” said Pinkie Pie.

“Vegans and those who are born lactose intolerant.” Said Silverbolt, with the girls flexing their eyebrows on that.

One of the boys, Fast Track, said out loud “You know, he does have a point.”

Silverbolt noticed the boys and said “Ah, Fast, good to see ya.”

“You too man.” Said Fast Track as the two high fived one another.

Silverbolt noticed a few boys he had seen “Hey, Rhythm Beat, Velvet Heart and Dusk Light, good to see you.”

“You too.” Said Velvet Heart.

“Thanks for letting our girlfriends invite us over.” Said Rhythm Beat.

“No problem.” Said Silverbolt. “I assume that both of you were confused that there were two sets of your girlfriends.”

“Oh, it was easy to tell them.” Said Dusk Light. “Their outfits for one, considering none of them had worn those outfits since that time with Juniper, and that they may sound and act sometimes like our girlfriends, but when I noticed that they can’t hold their phones or use their fingers right, I put two and two together and theorized that they are the ones from another world.”

And within a split second, the guys, and surprisingly Silverbolt, all said at the same time “Nerd Alert!!”

They were all quiet at first, until the guys all laughed, which caused some of the girls to either laugh or roll their eyes playfully. Once it died down, Silverbolt began to show them the different pizzas. Which surprised the girls and guys.

“Goodness,” said Rarity “That is an awful lot of pizza.”

“Why ever did you buy so much?” asked Pony Rarity.

“Well I figured that since we had twice as much audience, as well as some guys,” said Silverbolt “I decided to buy some extra. Figured that some of you could eat more than one could originally chew. That and a certain pair of party person and pony tend to eat a ton of them.”

They looked at both Pinkie Pies, who both blushed and giggled at the same time.

“Plus I figured what would be better than having some different sodas and cakes of your choice here.” Said Silverbolt.

“Well, that’s very considerate of you.” Said Applejack.

“So what are we looking at here?” said Rainbow Dash.

“Alright then,” said Silverbolt “We have different styles pizzas. Pepperoni, Vegetarian, Margherita, Four Cheese Pizza, Seafood, and my personal favorite…”

He picked up a slice and said “Bacon and Banana.”

Some were weirded out by this, as he said “What, it’s really good. I first ate this when I was touring in South Africa years ago.”

“And you did that because…?” asked Dusk.

“I wanted to expand my pallet.” Said Silverbolt.

“Okay, that’s a little disturbing.” Said Fast Track.

And suddenly, just like that, out of instinct, they squabble as it caught everyone off guard.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” said Silverbolt “I’m supposed to take advice from Mr. Peanut Butter and Banana sandwiches?”

“Hey, I stand by that sandwich.” Said Fast Track “Besides, having banana on a pizza is weird.”

“Yeah, so is pineapple and popcorn.”

“Popcorn?! You’re out of your mind.”

“What, it’s like chewy bits of heaven there.”

Suddenly the two of them stopped and widened their eyes in shock. Then they slowly looked at one another and said “Whoa.”

“What?” said Sunset.

“I don’t know…” said Fast Track as he held onto the side of his head “It’s as if…”

“Sort of…” said Silverbolt.

“Déjà vu.” The two said at the same time.

Everyone in the room was a little surprised by this, until Pinkie decided to chirp in and said “Come on silly filles, no need to act like that.”

“Yeah,” said Pony Pinkie Pie “We’re here to have a pizza party, so let’s go have some fun.”

Silverbolt looked at her and smiled whilst saying “You know what, you’re right. But first, let’s cut the pizza.”

Suddenly, Silverbolt slammed his fist onto the table, making the pizzas fly in the air, with Silverbolt holding two katanas and sliced the pizzas, allowing them to fall on each plate without spilling a single pizza, taking everyone by surprise with that little trick.

“Wow, nice job Silverbolt.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“That’s the way I roll.” Said Silverbolt with pride as he placed the swords away. “So now that everything is set, how about we watch a movie at the theatre room?”

“Good idea,” said Twilight “I’d like to see what kind of collection you have.”

“Grab the food and drink of your choice and we shall rendezvous there.”

The girls grabbed their things and headed there, with Silverbolt asking “Hey, weren’t there more of you?”

“Oh, right.” Said Rarity “Not to worry darling, Platinum is busy washing up and will be there shortly.”

“Same with Summer Breeze.” Said Applejack.

As soon as they left, Silverbolt took out the plates for the desserts. Once he placed them on trays and was done, he saw two boys appearing.

One who had a bit of a southern appearance, wearing stylish cowboy boots, blue jeans, a belt, a white shirt with a brown leather jacket and a white cowboy hat. The other had stylish shoes, blue jeans, a stylish belt, a white buttoned shirt with rolled up sleeves and glasses on his head whenever he’s in the mood to design something.

“Oh, hey there.” Said Silverbolt “I assume that the two of you are Applejack and Rarity’s boyfriends?”

“You guessed it.” Said the one in the southern accent. “Name’s Summer Breeze. The one next to me is Platinum.”

“Hello there.” Said Platinum “And I must say, thank you for having us in your humbled abode.”

“Oh, think nothing of it.” Said Silverbolt “Although, I’m guessing you never figured…?”

“That you live in a place like this?” said Summer Breeze “Ya darn tootin.”

“It would be strange that a boy at your age would have that much money and live in a place like this.” Said Platinum “But hearing from the girls about you made so much sense. Imagine, an immortal from another world since the beginning of the 20th century. It would explain so much. My grandfather spoke highly of you.”

“Oh, you mean Silverware?” said Silverbolt surprised. “That would explain the resemblance. He talked about me often?”

“He did,” said Platinum “He said that it was because of you, you were able to help him build his business into what it is today.”

“Still, glad to know he’s doing well after all these years.” Said Silverbolt, thinking about his old friend Silverware. He then focused on them and said “Anyway, nice to meet the both of you.”

“Pleasure is all ours.” Responded Platinum.

“Same here partner.” Said Summer Breeze.

However, the moment they shook hands with Silverbolt, it had happened again.

All three of their eyes had suddenly glowed from out of nowhere, as energy from Silverbolt began to be transferred to them, as if they had been possessed or something. After a few seconds, they quickly let go as their eyes stopped glowing.

The three of them were a bit surprised by this at first, with Silverbolt asking “You two, okay?”

“Uh, yeah,” responded an unsure Summer Breeze “We think so.”

“That was strange.” Said Platinum.

“I’ll…go and prepare things.” Said Silverbolt as he took the cakes and drinks with them.

“What the hell?” thought Silverbolt “It happened again. How the heck did that happen? First with Fast Track, then Velvet Heart, then Dusk Light, then Rhythm Beat, and now Platinum and Summer Breeze? What does that mean?”

The latter were a bit dizzy from that experience before they left. But at the same time, both of them gained pony ears and a tail whilst one glowed white and the other glowed red. But just before they looked at one another, the effects that happened to them vanished.

“That was strange.” Said Platinum.

“Yeah, ditto.” Said Summer Breeze. “Let’s go join the others.”

They soon left, whilst trying not to think about it and enjoyed the night with their friends, girlfriends and host.

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

They soon arrived at the movie theatre room, as everyone got excited and were determined to see what movies they could come up next.

“Alright then,” said Silverbolt as he gained everyone else’s attention. “What do you feel like watching? Comedy, Drama, Action, Horror…?”

“Please let’s not watch horror.” Said a trembling Fluttershy.

“She’s right,” said Velvet Heart whilst comforting Fluttershy “Last time she watched a horror movie, she had both a panic and heart attack and had been temporarily traumatized ever since.”

“Oh my gosh,” said pony Fluttershy “Were you able to recover after that?”

“Yes, it took a bit,” said Fluttershy “But Velvet was brave enough to be with me for the whole ordeal.”

“And she became her usual self.” Said Velvet before kissing her on the cheek, which made her blush and giggle adorably.

Silverbolt thought of something, then snapped his finger as he had an idea. “What about…Top Secret.”

They looked at him confused by it and said “What’s Top Secret?”

“You guys never watched it?” said Silverbolt “It’s only one of the funniest movies ever made back in 1984. Heck, Val Kilmer starred in it once upon a time.”

“Wait, Val Kilmer?” said Rhythm Beat “As in one of the actors who starred as Batman?”

“That’s the one.” Said Silverbolt “The movie shows a lot of funnies that won’t make sense.”

He went over and placed the movie in the projector and got into position with the others.

“Is everyone ready?” asked Silverbolt.

“Ready!!” responded everyone in the room.

Silverbolt then aimed the remote at the screen and said “Then let the movie…begin.”, before pressing the button.

(Play certain scenes from Top Secret)

They laughed at the guy who was getting punked by the informant.

“Oh man,” said Rainbow Dash “I can’t believe that guy keeps getting punked!!”

“I know, what a sucker!!” exclaimed pony Rainbow Dash whilst laughing.

Half exclaimed by the guy’s big eye.

“Holy Celestia that’s a big eyeball!!” exclaimed Spike.

“I know, that thing is huge!!” exclaimed dragon Spike.

(Check from 00:00 to 01:14)

“What’s that about tampons?!” exclaimed Applejack.

“What’s a tampon?” asked pony Applejack.

“Uh, you don’t wanna know.” Said Summer Breeze

“Oh my, that horse has a good set of pipes.” Said Rarity.

“I know, he could be famous.” Said pony Rarity.

“Oh dear, I hope the horse doesn’t have a cold.” Said pony Fluttershy worried.

“Not to worry,” said Silverbolt “All animals are never harmed in the film. They reassure every animal rights organizations. Trust me.”

Both Fluttershy and her counterpart sighed in relief.

“Did that guy just swallow a cigar?” said Twilight in disbelief.

“That’s not real, is it?” asked Princess Twilight, which Dusk Light shook his head.

Everyone laughed at that, with Rarity asking “Why on earth did he jump out of a window?”

“Because he’s a germ freak.” Said Platinum.

“I’d do that too if I sneezed in my hands.” Said Velvet Heart.

(Play from 00:20 to 00:32)

Everyone cringed at that, with Silverbolt saying "It’s just an act, not the real thing."

Rainbow laughed and said “They seriously dance in the middle of this?!”

“I know right, It’s hilarious!!” exclaimed Fast Track as he laughed with her.

“I still wonder why they had to broke the windows?” said Princess Twilight.

“It’s part of the fight scenes.” Said Twilight to her counterpart.

“Besides, abandoned buildings like this always gets destroyed during those kinds of fights.” Said Dusk Light.

They laughed at the part where Déjà vu was hiding in front of the window where the bad guys were shooting.

“Did he seriously stand in front of the mirror for cover?!” exclaimed Dog Spike in laughter.

“What an idiot!!” agreed Spike as he laughed out loud too.

“Why would ya’ll break that piece of window to shoot stuff when there are already broken ones next to it!!” pointed Applejack.

“Some folks just don’t think things through is all.” Said pony Applejack.

They laughed again when they saw Déjà vu breaking a window, but his pistol got bent instead.

“That’s one strong window.” Said Rarity. “Remind me to find someone who can make such windows.”

“Oh, I know darling,” said pony Rarity “I was thinking of the same thing.”

“Whoa, look at the size of that cannon!!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

“Luckily we both have party cannons of our own.” Said pony Pinkie Pie as she and her counterpart pulled theirs out and shot them in the air.

“Wow,” said Fluttershy “Not even a sledgehammer could break that window.”

“Now I wish I could have something like that.” Said Pony Fluttershy.

Summer Breeze and Velvet Heart laughed at the part where the one actor was playing X’s and O’s with a soldier outside whilst they were shooting at each other at the same time.

Pony Rainbow Dash and Sunset laughed when they saw how the one guy tried to block the grenade, but the others got blown away at the same time.

“It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s still funny!!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

“I know, right?” said Sunset as she couldn’t stop laughing either.

“Oh, no, they got in!!” shouted Platinum.

“Wow, that Chocolate Mousse is an ace shot.” Said Rhythm Beat impressed.

When the diner scene came, Silverbolt smirked and had an idea. He stood up and began to take the center.

When Silverbolt began to dance around, everyone began to cheer as they enjoyed his style of dancing. They really loved the way he dance. Once he was done, everyone clapped their hands when they saw his performance.

The rest of the movie, everyone laughed as they couldn’t get enough of how funny the entire movie was.

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

Whilst they decided to take a bit of a break from movie watching deciding to have a bathroom break and to stretch their legs a bit, Silverbolt decided to go to his private study and wait until they decided to clear their heads. Silverbolt took out a few artifacts and looked at them over, remembering his adventures in Equestria. And thankfully, he was able to make camera type pictures that he really greatly admired.

“Trip down memory lane?”

Silverbolt looked near the door and saw Sunset leaning against the door with a smirk on her face.

Silverbolt chuckled and said “You could say that.”

He placed the pictures away in his desk as Sunset walked in and said “So what did you and Princess Twilight talk about when you two were alone.”

“Well when we were on the way to the pizza place,” said Silverbolt, “I told both her and Spike of a few things I created that would’ve helped made lives easier, but I didn’t trust the ponykind with my secrets.”

He looked at her and said “And I think you know why. Starswirl, Clover, the Pony Tribes…”

“Right,” said Sunset, “Because of Starswirl and Clover who placed Equestrian artifacts and enemies here, thinking that they would be useless, and the ponies that were constantly at odds with one another.”

“That’s right.” Said Silverbolt as he and Sunset walked over to a fireplace, which Silverbolt wanted to do something, but then he looked at Sunset and smirked a bit. “Let me try to teach you something.”

Sunset flexed an eyebrow, wondering what he had in mind. Silverbolt gestured that he would hold her hand, which Sunset allowed as she presented her right hand. Silverbolt gently held her hand with both his hands as he held it close to his face. He began to chant a few words, allowing a bit of his magic to go into her, which surprised Sunset. Once the glow faded, he slowly let her hand go, whilst Sunset looked at her hand, and to her surprise, her wrist began to glow, revealing both her Cutie Mark and a symbol of a Phoenix below it, before it slowly faded away.

“Now then,” said Silverbolt as he gestured the fireplace. “Take a good look, concentrate, think of a spark, and then snap your finger.”

Sunset wondered what Silverbolt had in mind, but decided to give it a try. She concentrated on the fireplace, slowly raised her hand and within a split second, snapped her finger, allowing her to ignite the wood and set ablaze, taking her by surprise.

“Congratulations.” Said Silverbolt, “It took me like five tries to get it right.”

Sunset wondered something and looked at the table. She aimed her hand whilst it suddenly began to glow, allowing her to lift objects, which surprised her.

“It’s incredible.” Said Sunset as she looked at her hands after dispelling them.

“Now you can use your magic.” Said Silverbolt. “The magic I gave you can only allow you to teleport and lift things. Though not the advance ones yet, your body still needs to adjust to it overtime.”

“It’s better than nothing.” Said Sunset as she lifted a few pieces of wood and placed them over the fire. “Oh, I so missed this.”

“You’re not the only one.” Said Silverbolt with a smirk of his own, as he sat down on the couch “I also missed using magic, but being in this world also taught me the meaning and true value of hard work. Back then, before our pony ancestors could use magic, we didn’t have any need of it, but the sweat of a pony’s brow and the strength of their backs alone. I could always use magic, but then I’d forget about my roots, the very things that taught me an important lesson.”

“What’s that?” asked Sunset as she sat next to him.

“That not everything in life can be fair, and we can’t always let fate decide things for ourselves.” Said Silverbolt before looking at Sunset, “If we want things to happen, we have to make the effort through hard work and determination. And that there is no fate, but what we make for ourselves.”

He turned to her as the two of them looked at one another, “You may not have asked to have come here or walk the path you did, but ever since after the Fall Formal you’ve been trying to make up for your past, and in the end, you ended up being happy. And what makes that happiness worth it…”

He gently held her chin as the two of them looked at one another in the eyes, “Is whenever you show that smile of yours and show true compassion for those who have nothing.”

Sunset couldn’t help but blush and partially look away, but still kept her smile. The two of them looked at the fire a bit.

“So…” said Sunset as she wanted to change the subject, “What did you and Twilight talk about?”

“Over a few things,” said Silverbolt, “We talked about her encounter with a few villains, even what happened at Mt. Aris.”

“Oh, right.” Said Sunset, remembering the story.

“But I also tell her that sometimes not all plans work out the way you expect them to.” Said Silverbolt, confusing Sunset. “Remember when Twilight first helped you out with the Dazzlings?”

“Oh yeah,” said Sunset as she remembered, “Her plan to confront them straight on didn’t work, especially since how hard it was to get the counter spell ready.”

“Exactly.” Said Silverbolt, “And to quote what a certain wizard said. ‘We plan, we go in there, all hell breaks loose’, and that out of all the truths that we cling onto. We always depend greatly on our own point of view.”

“Harry Potter and Star Wars?” said Sunset when she picked up where the line came from.

“Right on the nose.” Said Silverbolt before he chuckled, “You have to admit, though humanity made a ton of things over the years, the words they speak can be very wise. Sometimes plans don’t work out the way you expect them to, and if we fail, we try again until we get it just right. And though one may be justified in what they did, they didn’t look at things from their point of view. Princess Twilight’s friends may have done a few things that nearly got them into trouble, but they didn’t see things from her point of view.”

He looked at her and said “Remember when Rainbow and Rarity made friends with Capper and Captain Celaeno?”

“I do.” Said Sunset, from what she remembered what Princess Twilight had told her.

“Twilight eventually understood things from their point of view, but they didn’t know hers.” Said Silverbolt as he explained.

He told Sunset everything what he told Twilight of seeing things from her point of view, how everypony in Equestria relied on her and that she had to endure plenty of stress, how she slowly lost all trust in them and tried to take matters into her own hooves. How her conscious didn’t tell her that trying to steal the pearl was wrong and Novo would be furious. And that though she had good intentions, sometimes it was necessary to follow diplomatic protocol when asking for help. For Equestria was built on Friendship, Harmony and Trust, and we can’t save it, by ignoring what it stands for. Desperation can make anyone do foolish things and that not every plan works out well.

“But in the end, all of them were justified. Whether out of ignorance or desperation.” Said Silverbolt as he concluded the story, “For Rarity, because her generous spirit helped Capper see the light. For Rainbow, to help lift the Pirate’s spirits when they lost everything. For Pinkie, to convince another culture to help. And also Princess Twilight, because she was scared to lose them and that they were afraid that if they pulled something like this on those who couldn’t, or wouldn’t be swayed to do harm to them, than all of them would’ve been killed.”

Sunset was surprised by this, with Silverbolt sighing and saying, “There will always be future challenges ahead. And even though she, and well, you, maybe talented in magic in more ways than one and are also Celestia’s prized pupils, no one can do everything on their own. Each of us may be strong, but it takes all of us together to be stronger, even me.”

He looked at her and said “I mean think about it, when you faced Twilight, Juniper, and the events during the Memory Stone and Time Twirler incident, did you do everything on your own?”

Sunset thought about it, and then remembered. The magic of her friends were the ones that helped her faced Twilight, and thought she was going to lose. Yet, somehow, she was able to defeat and help her. When she faced Juniper and tried to convince her to release her friends and ended up being trapped too, Starlight was the one that helped them. And during the Memory Stone and Time Twirler, Trixie and Pinkie helped her, despite some setbacks.

“And by the way,” said Silverbolt, gaining Sunset’s attention. “You didn’t get lucky when you faced Twilight, she would’ve surely overpowered you.”

She was surprised by this, then said “How…?”

“Spike.” Said Silverbolt, which surprised her again. “Trust me, I saw that. When it looked like you were going to be beaten, Spike was the one who called out to her. When she looked at him, she saw the scared look in his eyes, even pleading her to come back to him, that’s what snapped her out of it. And that’s how you were able to help her.”

Sunset’s jaw dropped and couldn’t believe it. Meaning if it weren’t for Spike…

She looked at the fire after she closed her mouth. “I owe Spike big time.”

“Yeah, it can be amazing how even the smallest of creatures can make a big difference.” Said Silverbolt as he couldn’t help but smile. He looked at the fire and said “She even asked me if she did the right thing by making friends with creatures and building the school of friendship.”

“She did?” asked Sunset.

“She did.” Said Silverbolt. He looked at her and said “Both you two remind me so much of Gusty.”

“How so?”

“Like Twilight, Gusty tends to sometimes panic and is afraid not to be up to the others’ expectations.” Said Silverbolt, then he looked at Sunset and said “Like you, she can also be hot tempered and tend to blow her top.”

“I do…!!” said Sunset as she was about to protest, until she felt his finger against her lips, taking her by surprise as she looked at him.

“And truth be told about your temper.” Said Silverbolt with a smirk, “I find it very attractive.”

Sunset couldn’t help but blush by his words and smiled after he removed his finger from her lips.

“So…” said Sunset as she wanted to change the subject. “What did you tell her?”

“I told her that uniting the world and teaching it friendship was Gusty’s biggest dream.” Said Silverbolt, “And that she’d be beside herself with joy with what she had done. And if she had accomplished that goal, she would sacrifice anything to protect it.”

He looked at her and said “I don’t know if Gusty would sacrifice her own life like Twilight wanted to do. Ponykind may have thought that she would help only ponies but as an element bearer like I used to be, her concerns was for every creature throughout the world. No one knew better than Gusty that in times of turmoil, no matter how dire the situation, the world needs its element bearers the most.”

He leaned forward and looked at the fire. “I sometimes worry about Equestria’s future. For one day, when they’re gone, the elements would be passed down, picking others who are worthy of its element. The elements of harmony may also be gone, and it would be up to them to ensure that the peace would be kept.”

He looked at Sunset and said “This world had once been dried of magic. And ever since it began to slowly appear in this world, you girls accepted the mantle. And as I said before, the world needs its element bearers the most. The category falls to Equestria with Princess Twilight and her friends. Now it falls to you and your friends.”

He looked at the fire, then partially to her, “That is, if you don’t mind me being there for you when you girls need my help.”

Sunset sat back up, then looked at him with a glare and said “I would be mad at you for having my college application denied.”

Silverbolt winced at that and chuckled nervously whilst rubbing the back of his head. Until Sunset gained a heartwarming smile and half lidded eyes.

“But you also saved our lives, you gave us a future, you looked out for us. You did all of that, from the beginning. If we weren’t around…”

Sunset couldn’t help but scooch over and hugged him, with a teary smile and said “We owe you so much everything. Thank you…for what you did for us. How can I ever repay you.”

“Well…” began Silverbolt. As they broke the hug, Silverbolt looked nervous, but then looked at Sunset and asked “If you want to…you know…put up with me and maybe…give us a chance?”

Sunset knew what he was trying to ask, but she couldn’t help but smile and said “I thought you’d never ask.”

She ended up gently holding his face and placed her lips against his, with both their eyes closed. This went on for the next ten minutes, until they pulled one another close and stroked one another’s bodies.

They broke the kiss whilst they slowly looked at one another, with Sunset ended up biting her lip with a smile, then said “I hope you don’t mind, but I really wanna try something right now.”

Silverbolt flexed an eyebrow and asked “What do you have in mind?”

Without warning, Sunset instantly placed her hands on his shoulders. She climbed onto his lap, straddling him as she pressed her body against his and started to rub herself against him.

“Whoa,” thought Silverbolt when he saw her actions “This is a new one.”

Sunset held onto the back of the couch, pressing her breasts against Silverbolt’s face as she continued to rub herself against his lap, letting him feel the heat radiating between her legs through her panties as it absorbed itself onto his body. He could feel the warm breaths beating on top of his head, her hair brushing the sides of his face as her sweet, sugary scent surrounded him.

“Wow.” Muttered Silverbolt.

“Something wrong?” whispered Sunset, her eyes closed, her breaths getting heavier.

“Have you ever tried this before?” asked Silverbolt as he was feeling himself getting turned on from the motion Sunset was doing.

“Not really.” Said Sunset as she picked up the pace of her thrusts, her breaths becoming heavier. “Never tried this before.”

“First time for everything, huh?” said Silverbolt as he couldn’t help himself but held onto Sunset’s booty underneath her skirt, making her partially squirm in excitement, whilst he kissed her neck, making her bite her lip whilst smiling in excitement. Silverbolt was starting to get hardened up from inside his pants, and he could feel her warm crotch rubbing against his bulge whilst she continued to thrust her body against his. He could feel she was grinding against her sensitivity, and she was picking up the pace steadily, as well as her breathing continued to heighten.

But to his surprise, he saw that she was ponying up as her ears and tail came along. But to his confusion, she gained flaming wings, ones from her Daydream Shimmer form. He couldn’t explain it, but there must be a reason for this. But at the same time, he felt his own pony ears and tail, along with his own Alicorn wings coming along. There must’ve been a reason, for this was the first time his magic was acting this way, as well as her own.

But before he could react, her breathing stopped, and her forearms were wrapped around the back of his head, squeezing his face between her breasts as she pressed her mound against him, letting out a long, low moan of pleasure. She felt herself taught as she trembled gently for a few seconds, then suddenly exhaled against Silverbolt’s face and leaned in to kiss him on the lips.

She sat up on his lap and patted him on the shoulder. “Thanks…I needed that.” Said Sunset whilst she panted for a bit.

Silverbolt on the other hand was still amazed by what she did.

“Wow.” Said Silverbolt “That’s something nobody has ever tried before.”

“Really?” asked Sunset.

“Really.” Said Silverbolt. Until he suddenly had a soft smile on his face and gently held her face cheeks, whilst saying “But then again, none of them are you. You really are special.”

Sunset couldn’t help but give a slight gasp at that. She couldn’t help but shed a tear whilst smiling at the same time. She leaned in and placed her forehead against his whilst they both smiled and had their eyes closed, then looked at one another again.

“We should probably go back to the others.” Said Sunset.

“I suppose,” said Silverbolt “No doubt Pinkie Pie would eat our desserts.”

They both couldn’t help but chuckle at that, allowing Sunset to stand up, with Silverbolt following suit. But just before they got out, Silverbolt suddenly grabbed Sunset and gently pinned her against the door, with him saying “One more for the road.”

Sunset couldn’t help but chuckle at this, allowing the two to kiss once more. They departed their lips, with both of them looking at one another with bedroom eyes. Silverbolt was the first to move.

“Oh, this is going to be fun.” Said Sunset within her thoughts, before quickly going over to Silverbolt, making them hold hands with one another.

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

“Wait, we’re going to watch the whole trilogy?” said Dusk Light “But won’t it be late?”

“Not to worry,” said Silverbolt “I already began to use a spell that’ll freeze time. Where we’ll watch the movies in its full running time, twenty minutes each would be passing by.”

“So we’ll be able to watch the movies in a full hour?” said Princess Twilight “Fascinating.”

“Hope you lot like the movies.” Said Silverbolt “I mean you may not have known them, for all three of them had been there before many of you were born.”

“I’m actually interested to see what the movies were like,” said Twilight “Next to Harry Potter that is.”

“Well then,” said Silverbolt “Relax and enjoy.”

The first few minutes that played, everyone was impressed of how the story had started.

“Oh my,” said Rarity “Those Elves and their clothing are beautiful.”

“Oh I know darling,” said Pony Rarity “Just think of all the amazing outfit ideas.”

“Oh my,” whimpered Fluttershy “That Sauron looks scary.”

“He attacked everyone on Middle-Earth?!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie “What a meanie!!”

“Whoa, check that out.” Said Fast Track as he was amazed by the Elves and Men fighting Sauron’s armies.

“Awesome.” Muttered Rainbow Dash.

“Oh my, what is that?” said Pony Fluttershy when she whimpered seeing Gollum.

“Oh, who’s that strange looking human?” said Dragon Spike.

“And that Rarity,” teased Silverbolt “Is why you shouldn’t make a fuss about jewelry.”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud whilst both Rarity and her pony counterpart pouted from what he had said.

“Wow,” said Princess Twilight “That place is beautiful.”

“Reminds me of Ponyville.” Said Pony Applejack

"Oooh, nice party." Said Pinkie Pie when she saw them having a great time.

“Whoa,” said Sunset “I didn’t know Gandalf was that powerful.”

“Oh my.” Shivered Fluttershy in fear “What are they?”

“So that’s who those guys are.” Said Dragon Spike.

“Wow, talk about double cross.” Said Dog Spike.

“Those varmints argue more than mah family does on our reunion last year.” Said Applejack.

“Oh, those poor Dwarves.”

“Whoa, that guy is brave” said Pony Rainbow Dash in awe.

“Whoa, those elves look different.” Said Twilight.

“Remember, they’re different tribes.” Said Dusk Light “Each tribe may be from the same race, but all of them look different, like ponies.”

The ponies turned human looked at Dusk, then pondered it, realizing he does have a good point.

“Whoa, what are those?” said Platinum surprised.

“Those Are Uruk-Hai.” Said Silverbolt “As the Orcs were formed from the elves, they were forged from the deceased men. At least, I think so.”

“You think so?” said a confused Summer Breeze.

“Hey, it’s been a long time since I’ve read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings when they were first released.”

“When was that?” asked Velvet Heart.

“Somewhere after the First World War.” Said Silverbolt.

“Aw, too bad they killed the guy, I was staring to like him.” Said Rhythm Beat.

“Yeah, he was a fan favorite.” Said Silverbolt “Thankfully they kept him alive during the Battle for Middle-Earth Games.”

“Whoa,” said Fast Track “So that’s what happened to Gandalf. He didn’t kick the bucket after all.”

“Good heavens!!” exclaimed Rarity “Who is that?!”

“That used to be a Hobbit.” Said Silverbolt.

“Wait, now I recognize him.” Said Rhythm Beat “From the Fellowship of the Ring movie.”

“So that’s why he looked familiar.” Said Dragon Spike.

“Oh dear,” muttered Fluttershy “Those poor things are still in danger.”

“Hey look,” said Pony Pinkie “That little guy dropped something.”

“Look, those guys are still giving chase.” Said Dusk Light.

“Horse Lords?” said a confused Sunset.

“It’s like this,” said Silverbolt “Each house and kingdom always have different titles. Like lords of horses, wolves and so on. And the more known they are and what land they own, the stronger they are.”

“Whoa, so those guys are the horse lords.” Said Twilight.

“Now those guys look cool.” Said Summer Breeze.

“Oh my,” said Pony Fluttershy “What is that?”

“According to the book, that’s called an Ent.” Said Silverbolt “Like sheep herders who look after sheep, these guys look after trees. Treebeard there happens to be the strongest leader, though he chose to stay out of the war.”

“Whoa,” said Velvet Heart “He looks amazing.”

“That’s why Gandalf is considered very powerful.”

“Aw yeah!!” shouted Rainbow Dash “He defeated that demon monster!!”

“Whoa,” said Princess Twilight “He’s powerful.”

“Never underestimate a Wizard.” Said Silverbolt.

“Boy I’ll say.” Said Spike, agreeing with him.

“Whoa, those furballs are huge.” Said Pinkie Pie.

“Heh, typical Gimli would act like Rainbow Dash.” Said Pony Applejack.

“What’s that supposed to mean?!” shouted Pony Rainbow Dash as if she had just been insulted.

"Whoa," said Platinum "This is getting intense."

"Oh my, that elf looks simply divine." Said Rarity as she gushed over Haldir.

“Whoa, look at them fight.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Gotta admit, that’s mighty impressive.” Said Applejack.

“Oh no,” said Twilight “Poor Haldir.”

“Oh no, the trees.” Said Fluttershy in dread.

“Oh boy,” said Pinkie Pie “The tree looks really mad.”

“Aw yea, now we’re talking.” Said Rainbow.

"Wow," said Summer Breeze "Truth hurts."

"Yes, knew he’d come through." Said Velvet Heart, feeling happy to see a friendly face.

"Why that sneaky little…" said Applejack, feeling mighty tiked.

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

As they were halfway through their desert, they were getting excited for the third part of the movie and its ending.

The girls were horrified by how he had begun, and chose not to comment on that.

“Nice to know them fellers are relaxing after them friends were looking for them.” Said a sarcastic Applejack.

“Well they’re hobbits, they’re known to be carefree kind of people and don’t get involved with the outside world much, what did you expect?” said Silverbolt.

“Good point.” Said Applejack.

“Oooh,” said Pinkie Pie “Isn’t that the freaky crystal ball that Saruman guy used to communicate with Sauron?”

“Right you are Pinkie.” Said Silverbolt.

“Ooh, now those know how to party.” Said pony Pinkie Pie.

Fluttershy giggled and said “Look how much fun those two hare having.”

“They sure know who to entertain a crowd.” Said pony Applejack.

“Oh my, poor Pippin.” Said pony Fluttershy “He let his curiosity get the better of him.”

“I know what that’s like.” Said Twilight, though she may have been down, but thanks to Silverbolt, she no longer has to worry about her past anymore.

“Whoa,” said Dusk “Those smiths really know how to do their jobs.”

“Now that’s hard work.” Said Summer Breeze

"Whoa," said Spike "So that’s what Gandalf’s plan was."

"What the heck was that?!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash "Even I wouldn’t be that stupid enough to endanger my own team!!"

"Whoa, now that’s a lot." Said Pony Rainbow Dash.

"Whoa." Said Princess Twilight as she was in awe of the man who embraced his destiny rather than deny it.

"Good heavens!!" exclaimed Rarity when she saw them.

"That man," said pony Rarity as she fanned herself "So brave."

"Okay, now that’s cool."

"Oooh, spooky." Said Rhythm Beat when he saw them attack.

Everyone shed a few tears over his bravery.

"Whoa, look at them go." Said Platinum.

Everyone cheered when Sauron had been defeated.

“Wow, glad to see friends come together.” Said Velvet Heart

“Except for Boromir.” Said Fast Track.

Sunset sighs as she hears him sing and also admires how he is reunited with the love of his life, with Silverbolt holding her hand, which she returned with a loving squeeze.

Some shed tears over this final farewell, especially when the song was being sung.

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

Once it was the end of the movie, the others casually walked out of the theatre with smiles on their faces.

“Aw, yeah.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Best, trilogy, ever!!” Said Pony Rainbow Dash in equal amount of excitement.

“And it’s only 9PM.” Said Pinkie Pie.

“Wow, you weren’t kidding about the time spell thing.” Said Rhythm Beat.

“Like I said,” said Silverbolt “I like to make more time.”

“Don’t know about all of ya’ll but…” said Applejack with a yawn “I could use some good sleep right about now.”

“Hoo wee.” Said Pony Applejack whilst rubbing her eyes “Ah’m more tired than a sleuth on a good day.”

“But uh, question.” Said Fast Track “Where are we going to sleep?”

“Now that you mention it, you do have a point there.” Said Rarity.

Silverbolt then snapped his fingers and said “I know just the place. As well as to have some cocoa at the same time.”

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

Silverbolt took them to another room. The moment they entered, they were quite surprised. It was an entire room that was designed with real grass, trees, bushes and so on, whilst the entire roof looked like a dome with little lights, designed to look like stars and a moon with a few placed constellations, and at the center, which looked just big enough for a campfire. And to make it more enjoyable, a few tame animals were there too.

“Oooh, how lovely.” Said Fluttershy.

“What kind of room is this?” asked Twilight.

“Wow, this place looks great.” Said dog Spike as he walked around and took a few sniffs at a few trees.

Princess Twilight however, recognized this type of area. “I know this place, this is where my friends and I used to camp out on our very first camp trip together.”

“Oh yeah, I remember it.” Said Spike whilst remembering that he was there that day.

“So, shall we?” said Rhythm Beat.

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

Soon the lot of them were around their makeshift campfire, whilst they sat around it, with their sleeping bags in place and enjoyed some cocoa at the same time.

“Wow,” said Dusk Light after he took a sip. “This brings back memories.”

“It does?” said Pony Rarity.

“Yeah,” said Platinum “The guys and I wanted to have a private weekend, so we camped out at a private spot just far outside of Canterlot City.”

He then cringed and said “Then Rhythm Beat got a stupid idea of wanting to hang his own poop in the tree. To “Keep the bears from getting it”, he says.”

Everyone cringed in disgust of what he did.

“Why would he do that?” said a disgusted pony Fluttershy.

“Uh, no plumbing in the woods, you do the math.” Said Platinum.

“But we told him not to do it.” Said Velvet Heart.

“Why, what happened?” asked Pony Pinkie Pie.

“We all yelled...,” said Summer Breeze.

“Cause bears don’t eat shit!!” shouted the guys.

Everyone started to laugh at that, even the girls once they got over the disgusted part.

“I gotta say, it’s been really interesting.” Said pony Applejack.

“Yeah,” said pony Pinkie Pie “We haven’t been here for more than twelve hours and we want to know more about the human world.”

“Heck yeah,” said pony Rainbow Dash “It’ll be like going on a new adventure in a new kingdom, but instead we’re in a different dimension. How cool is that?”

“Oh, I simply cannot wait to see what else this dimension has to offer tomorrow.” Said pony Rarity.

“Oh, and I certainly would like to see what kind of animals they have here too.” Said Pony Fluttershy.

“I’d be more than happy to take you on tour.” Said Princess Twilight.

Both Sunset and Silverbolt couldn’t help but snort at that, which gained her attention.

“Excuse me,” said Sunset “Who has been living in this world longer than you have?”

“She’s got you there.” Said Silverbolt “You’ve only been here a couple of times for your visits and you still don’t know how most of the laws of this world works.”

Princess Twilight puffed her cheeks and pouted as the others laughed.

“But if you want,” said Silverbolt once the others stopped laughing “I bet your counterparts and their boyfriends would be more than happy to help.”

“That’s a great idea.” Said puppy Spike “Who better to show you around the world than yourselves?”

“But that means I’ll have to be a dog again.” Said Spike “Otherwise folks would get freaked out when they see a dragon.”

“I’ll provide for that.” Said Silverbolt before yawning. “Now then, why don’t we rest up, we got a big day tomorrow.”

Silverbolt then took out a remote and pressed the button, causing the stars to slowly swirl around them, then he pressed another button, causing the most beautiful melody to play as if it came from a music box.

“Oooh,” cooed Fluttershy “This sounds lovely.”

“It helps set the mood.” Said Silverbolt.

Suddenly, Summer Breeze had an idea and smirked. “You know what, I think I forgot something back at my truck.”

“Go for it.” Said Silverbolt.

“Hey AJ,” said Summer Breeze.

“Yes?” said both Applejacks.

“Uh, sorry, our world’s Applejack.” Recorrected Summer Breeze. “Could come with me for a moment?”

“Uh, sure.” Said a confused Applejack.

The two of them left the room whilst they walked casually down the hall. Once they were farther away, Applejack wondered what he was doing.

“You mind explaining me what the tarnation ya’ll are…?”

But before she could respond, Summer Breeze immediately turned around and placed his lips on hers, taking her by surprise, especially since he was holding her close. She quickly melted into it whilst she was holding him close too. Applejack moaned a little through the kiss, but the two of them soon departed and looked at one another with bedroom eyes.

“Wow,” said Applejack “It’s been ages since ah did that.”

“Thought you might enjoy it.” Said Summer Breeze “Plus I could help you scratch a certain itch.”

Applejack immediately blushed, but kept her smile. “Well…we are in a big house. And he does have a ton of rooms in the house.”

He held her slowly by her posterior and said “So…you into it?”

“Oh, ah sure am.” Responded the cowgirl.

Before they knew it, they were immediately in one of the other rooms, where both Summer Breeze and Applejack were making out madly, enjoying each other’s embrace as they felt one another’s bodies. They quickly closed the door, allowing Applejack and Summer Breeze to remove their shirts and tossed it away whilst they continued to kiss one another. Summer Breeze could feel the tone of her muscle, as did Applejack for Summer.

“How is it…” said Summer Breeze with a smirk after they broke the kiss “That every time whenever I feel your body, it still continues to amaze me.”

Applejack couldn’t help but smirk and said “Funny, ah was about to tell you the same thing.”

“Still, I can’t remember how I ended up falling for you.”

“Ah can,” responded Applejack “That time when ya’ll were at the mall and you wanted to try to beat me at arm wrestling. And ya’ll were really brave too.”

“Oh yeah,” said Summer Breeze “Especially since the part where you made me blush when you held onto my hand. It was like an angels touch.”

“Aw, there you go being sweet again.” Said Applejack before she pecked him on the cheek.

“And surprisingly we both ended in a draw after trying to pin one another for almost two hours straight. You really have great stamina.” Said Summer Breeze.

“Years of working on the farm.” Said Applejack.

“Well then,” said Summer Breeze with a smirk as he slowly removed Applejack’s panties whilst they were gently lowered, leaving her flustered as he said “Time to see if all that stamina paid off.”

“Hon,” said Applejack as she grabbed his pants and removed it, leaving them both bare for all to see. “Ah thought ya’ll would never ask.”

Summer Breeze immediately picked Applejack up via holding her posterior, with her wrapping her legs around him as she continued to kiss him deeply, especially when he gained a chance to grasp onto her right breast, making her moan through the passionate kiss, especially when they ended up on the bed where they continued to make out where they left off.

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

Meanwhile, fifteen minutes later at the small suburb house where Silverbolt had just left after dropping off Sonata, she had made sure that everything was neat and to make sure that she would give the money cheque to her sisters once they get back. She made sure the cake, pie, pizza and sodas were on the table properly.

She heard the front door open, and saw both Adagio and Aria walking in, both bearing grumpy looks.

“Hey girls.” Said Sonata with a smile and wave “How was your day?”

“I don’t wanna talk about it.” Said Aria in her usual grumpy tone. But then she and Adagio noticed the pizza on the table. “What the heck is this?”

“I thought all of you deserved a treat, so I decided to order out.” Said Sonata whilst using the cover story Silverbolt gave her to tell them.

“And you could afford this, how?” said Adagio with a flexed eyebrow and suspicion.

“Well, whilst I was at work,” said Sonata “I did a good job helping out a customer that turned out to be a real celebrity. He was so grateful, he gave me extra pay. He even gave me this.”

Sonata showed them the cheque. The moment when they looked at the amount, they were left speechless. Then they looked at Sonata, completely baffled at what just happened.

“What…how did you…?!” said Adagio, still can’t believe what she’s seeing.

“I have no idea.” Said Sonata with a smile “Must be my smile.”

Aria was done being stunned, then spoke in a grumpy manner “Bout time you did something right.”

Adagio looked at the cake and soda, but then was curious about the pizza. When she looked at them, she was surprised to see how good they looked. She couldn’t help but have her mouth water from the sight. She cleared her throat a bit.

“Okay then.” Said Adagio “But I’m eating a whole pizza.”

“That’s okay, there’s a box for each of us.” Said Sonata.

Each of them took their pizzas and went to the living room to watch TV. They sat down and ate their pizzas. Sonata on the other hand, she couldn’t stop thinking about the boy who helped her, how she could think of a way to thank him for what he did for her. And if he wanted to…be her friend.
