Chrome's P.o.V

"Hey wake up."  The voice said.  I slowly opened my eyes and everything was to blurry to make out.  I looked to were the voice came from and saw a blur of violet.  I sat up on the couch and rubbed my eyes and let out a yawn.

"Good morning Twilight."  I said as I stretched.

"Good morning.  Your friend Rosea just told me about how your friend Storms left her in the hospital.  She said she had to get a couple of shots, but is terrified of needles.  By the way, do you know what the the flash of red light was outside?" Twilight asked as she pointed out the window.  I nodded and got off the couch and walked to the door.

"The red light was probably Storms being teleported to were ever."  I said as I shrugged opening the door.  My cat ran up and hopped onto my back.  'D'awwww'  Was all I could think as it curled into a little ball.

"What do you mean?"  Twilight asked as she followed me out the door.

"Well last night me, Storms and Cheese Cake were teleported to random locations.  I went to princess Celestia to help."  I said.  I stopped and put a hoof to my chin.  "I wonder were Cheese Cake and Storms went."

"Well theres Cheese Cakes right there.  Why dont we ask him."  Twilight said as she smiled at me.  I blushed a little, thankfully she didn't notice.  We ran to Cheese Cake who was staring at a weird rock thing walking around.

"Hey Cheese Cake, whats that?"  I asked pointing at the walking rock.

"It's an earth elemental."  He said.  He turned and saw I was with Twilight and said  "Aww.  Are both of you on a date."  Twilight and I started to blush.  Cheese Cake started to laugh as his little elemental turned yellow and fell to the floor rolling.  'Is it laughing besides that why did it change color."

"Why did it turn yellow?"  Twilight asked.

"It feels the same emotion as me and desplayes them in color and motion.  It's pretty cool."  Cheese Cake answered.

"Were did you wind up after being teleported."  I asked.

"I was with Discord and meet a part of my spirit who gave me him."  He answered pointing to his elemental who was waving.  I waved back and it pointed to my cat.

"You want to play with her?"  I asked.  The little elemental nodded it's head.  I used my magic to levetate my cat to the ground.  She stretched and pounced on the elemental.  They were running around a tree after that.

"How did you know I was gone last night?"  Cheese cake asked a little confused.

"You and Storm were consumed by light and disapeared then the same thing happened to me."  I said.  I looked at my cat and said  "I also met part of my spirit.  He gave me my cat."  Cheese Cake just nodded and turned to Twilight.

"So did he ask you or the other way around."  He asked Twilight who's blush got deeper.  Cheese Cake started to laugh and his elemental fell to the ground and started to roll again.

"We are not on a date."  Twilight said with anger.

"There y'all are Twi."  A country voice said behind us.  I turned around and saw Applejack walking up with Rarity and Rainbow Dash.  "Rainbow here done told us about some new ponies here in Ponyville and said they would be with you."  Applejack said as she turned to me and Cheese Cake.  "Howdy.  Mah names Applejack but y'all can call me AJ for short."

"Nice to meet you Appl- I mean AJ.  My name is Chrome Lilac and this here is Cheese Cake."  I said as I held a hoof up for a hoofshake.

AJ shook my hoof and then asked  "What was it that ah heard about a date?"  Twilight let out a irratated sigh and shook her head while Cheese Cake just started laughing again.

"By the way were is the blue pegasis?"  Rainbow Dash asked.  I shrugged as did Cheese Cake.  I was starting to get worried.  As if on cue  the sky turned red and the ground started shake.  A huge crack apeared.  A red alicorn flew out and landed in front of us.  The sky cleared and the earth returned to normal.   Princess Celestia and Discord flashed in to see what was going on.

"Hades what are you doing out of Tartarus?"  Celestia asked.  Discord walked up and gave Hades a pat on the back.  Hades hung his head low and walked up to me and Cheese Cake.  'Whats going on?'

"I have some bad news.  Chris, or Storms as he liked to be called, is no longer here."  Hades said.

"What does that mean?"  I asked a little worried.

Hades turned to Celestia and Discord and said  "It's about time you told them why they went to both of you."  Discord and Celestia nodded their heads and walked to me and Cheese Cake.

"Hey tell me what you meant."  I said a little more iratated.  Cheese Cake put his hoof on my shoulder and shook his head.

"The reason you came to us is so you would meet you caretaker.  I am your's Chrome Lilac and Discord is Cheese Cake's.   We are here to make sure you don't let darkness consume who you are."  Celestia said.

"Princess I do not understand."  I asked a little confused.

"You two are the reincarnations of Pontos and Ouranos and Storms is Gaia's.  Pontos was the god of the sea.  He resides in you Chrome."  Celestia said walking over to me.  "The cat he gave to you is to act as your guardian and to protect you when you need her."

Discord walk over to Cheese Cake and said  "Ouranos, the sky god, was a good friend of mine.  He now resides in Cheese Cake here."  He patted Cheese Cake on the back and pulled out a glass of chocolate milk.  "Here you go."  He handed the glass to Cheese Cake.

"Thanks."  Cheese Cake said as he drank the milk and tossed the glass which exploded when it hit a tree.  "So my elemental is my guardian?"  Cheese Cake.  Discord nodded.

"So Storms is... dead?"  I asked Hades who slowly nodded.  There was a long silence until I asked  "How?"

Hades sighed and said  "He was poisoned by a demon and his left wing was folded over his right.  He was then thrown in the air by Chrysalis and impaled by stalagtites then fell from thirty feet in the air."  Everyone was stunned and couldn't say anything.

Celestia walked over and patted him on his back.  "It's okay."  She said trying to console him.

"The weirdest part was that his body disapeared when I went to check on him after beating Chrysalis."  Hades said.  I got up and started to walk back to Twilight's tree.  I could care less what else they said.  Cheese Cake just followed.

After a hour Twilight and her friends walked in all looking down while me and Cheese Cake just sat there.  "We are quite sorry for you loss darling.  Is any thing we can do."  Rarity asked worriedly.  Me and Cheese Cake shook our heads.  Our guardians walked up to us and sat there.  Cheese Cake's elemental was a dark blue color and sat there looking down in sadness.

The girls said their goodbyes and left,  I just went to sleep.  Not much else to do.

                                                                                ----- 1 week later -----

I woke up just like I have been doing the last week.  I got a job at a store called Quills and Sofas.  I have been saving up for a house with four bedrooms and three bathrooms.  I almost have enough thanks to the money Celestia gave me.  Today was a day off and I decided that I should go back to earth and tell Storms family about what happened.  I asked Celestia if it was possible and she nodded.

As I headed to the door Rosea and Cheese Cake were waiting for me outside.  "What are the both of you doing out here?"  I asked confused.

"You are going back to tell Chris's family aren't you?"  Rosea asked.  I nodded.  "Well we're coming with you.  I don't really like being around here by my self, everyone just keeps looking at me."  She said.   I just smiled and headed for the trainstation.

After a train ride and a walk through Canterlot we made it to the castle.  The guards let us pass and we made our way to the throne room.  We entered the room and Celestia stood up and walked to us.

"I assume you are ready?"  Celestia asked as I nodded.  Her horn started to glow and a yellow door apeared.  "The door only works one way.  If you go through it you can not come back."  Celestia said.  I was now worried.  I didn't want to leave forever.  I like it here.  The door knob started to twist.  Celestia looked confused.

The door opened and four new ponies walked through.   One was a pegasus stallion.  He was almost as tall as Big Macintosh.  He was blue like Storms with a combed back mane, golden eyes and had a gold wing plate on the brim of both wings.  He carried two guitars one acoustic the other electric.  His cutie mark was two guitars crossed infront of a thunderbolt.  He looked like a bigger version of Storms.

The next was a smaller red pegasus stallion with spikey hair, blue eyes and about the same size as Cheese Cake.  He had a backpack on.  He wore a confused look on his face.  His cutie mark was a key blade over a crown.

Then walk out a light purple unicorn mare.  Her mane was puffy like pinkies but shorter and had the same eye color as me.  Her cutie mark is a half eaten cheese burger.

The last one to come out was a green earth stallion.  He had a long mane and and brown eyes.  He was a little bigger than the red stallion and wore glasses.  His cutie mark was a scroll on fire.

The red stallion looked around and asked  "Were am I?"

"In the princesses castle in Canterlot."  The blue pegasus said.  He looked at the princess and then at me, Cheese Cake, and Rosea and said "My little brother Chris would always watch it with his friends Justin and Eddie but you probably wont know anything about it seeing as your ponies and everything."  As he said this I began to get scared.

The red stallion walked up to us and said  "Well whatever my name is Donald.  I was a friend of Eddie's."

"And I'm Shelby, Justin was my cousin."  the unicorn said.

"I am Nachona."  The green earth pony said.

"Princess why did it bring our friends and family here?"  I said as I looked at the princess.

Shelby and Donald knew who I was just from my voice and ran up to hug me.  I broke the hug by teleporting and pointed to the other two and said  " The yellow pony is Eddie and the pink one is Josh."  Donald just started laughing and Nachona ran up and hugged Rosea.

"Well were is Chris?"  asked Donald.  'buck'

I let out a sigh and said  "Chris is..... dead."  Everypony stopped and looked at me wanting an explanation.  I explained to them what happened.  Chris's brother just stared out the window not moving.  I looked to the princess and asked  "Is there a way for you to just give us a house big enough to for all of us."

The Celestia nodded and said  "By the time you get to Ponyville a house for each of you will have been built."

"Well I guess that could work but can I still tell Chris's family what happened?"  I asked.

Celestia shook her head and said  "Once the door has been used It will not open again.  I am sorry."

"At least we told one of them."  Cheese Cake said.  I sighed and nodded.  I stood up and gathered everypony and headed to the train.

Once we got back to Ponyville, Twilight was there to meet us.  She had heard about all that happened from the princess.  She showed us were our houses were and I went to bed when I got to mine.

                                                                               ----- 3 months later -----

*Knock Knock Knock*  'Damn it'  I got out of bed and strecthed.  I walked to the front door and opened it to see Cheese Cake.  "Morning."  He said.

"Morning."  I said as I walked out the door.  It was now winter, the cold air, the snow,  the fact that tomorrow is Hearth's Warming Eve.  'I wonder if it's like Christmas.'

"So did you get Twilight something for Hearth's Warming Day?"  Cheese Cake said as he hit my shoulder.

"Whats that suposed to mean?"  I asked trying to ignore the question.

"Really."  He said raising an eyebrow.  "You two have been almost inseparable for the past three months.  Are you seriously telling me your not together yet?"  He asked faking a shocked look.

"Why do you say that kind of stuff everyday?  I like just hanging out and being around her.  Why would I want to ruin that?"  I said irritated.

"Yeah right.  You want to kiss her dont you?"  He said with a wicked grin on his face and poking me in the chest.

"Your starting to act like Storms."  I said.  I let out a sigh and then said  "If I ask her out will you leave me alone about the subject?"  He nodded.

"I will promise NO pinkie promise that I will."  Cheese Cake said giving a sarcastic salute.

"And if it goes bad you have to break your friendship with Pinkie Pie."  I said.

He thought about it and said  "Deal but only if you name one of the kids after me."  He took off running after he said that.  I was there shocked at what he said.  After a good five minutes I decided to go ask out Twilight.

I was walking down the street and saw Storms's brother who goes by Lightnings Melody, or LM for short.  Once we got back to Ponyville He go a job at Sweet Apple Acres.  Him and Applejack got closer and closer till he asked her out.  Storms would be happy for him.

After a short walk I reached Twilights tree.  I walked up to the door and knocked.  Twilight opened the door and smiled at me.  "Well goodmorning Chrome."  She said as she walked inside.  I followed and sat at the table.  I was nervous and she could tell.  "Are you ok?"  Twilight asked leaning in closer.

"I...I have something to tell you.  I was wo...wondering if..if you would li.like t.t.to maybe go out with me."  I said while my voice got quiter as i was sinking into my chair.

"What was that last part again?"  She asked leaning in even closer.

I sighed.  'If I dont ask I never will.'  I looked her in the eyes and asked  "Would you go out with me."  She had a shocked look on her face. 'Oh no.  This is bad.  She doesn't share the same feelings.'  I was then tackled onto the ground.  I closed my eyes ready to get slaped or something.  Something wet fell on my face.  I opened my eyes and saw she was crying.  "Whats wrong Twil-"  Was all I could say before her lips met mine.  I was to shocked to kiss back.

When she broke the kiss she pulled me in for a tight hug.  Her tears were soaking my coat.  "I didn't think you would ever ask."  She said.  Her tight grip around me started to fade as she stopped hugging me and kissed me again, this time I didn't hesitate and kissed back.

"Awww. I wish I had a camera."  A voice said from behind me.  Twilight looked and had a face of confusion, fear, and relief.

I turned around shocked.  One thing flooded my mind as I asked  "How?"
