"What the hell Pinkie?"

For hours everyone sat around Twilight's home, playing with their new pets. As for me and the one Twilight placed in front of me, we took a nap.

As the Sun fell and the Moon rose, Twi was the first to notice how much time had past.

"Oh no! How long have we been distracted?" She  asked, looking around at her friends. Then she noticed me and the original passed out in the corner. "Hey, girls. Look at Pyrefly."

"Daw, They look so adorable." Ice Dancer cooed as she gazed upon my sleeping form. Then a devious smile began to creep across her face. Then, with a light glow, she levitated the puff ball away from me, and then with a flash, she froze me solid.

"Icy! Why did you go and do that, dear?" Rarity asked with confused look on her face.

"He didn't tell me he was done delivering my package." She deadpanned. "Ok girls, I'll take this dumbass home now. See you tomorrow."

As the mares all said their goodbyes, each one grabbed one of the clones and headed their different ways.

As Ice Dancer strolled off, levitating me behind her as she walked home, the first creature followed close behind her, watch the clone perched upon my sister's back.

"I warned you Pyrefly." Ice said to my froze body "So now you're gonna stay frozen till Dashie comes back. It will be good to have some quiet for the rest of the week. Oh, and don't worry yourself, I only froze the area around you. You may not be able to talk or move, but do you really think I'd kill my big brother? Hahaha!"

'So she only froze my skin?' I though, surprised that I was still able to do that. 'Damn she's gotten better! Now I'm stuck like this till Dash comes home. Fuck!'

"Oh, and if you're thinking of getting back at me later on down the road, forget about it. Cause I'll freeze your room next and wont Thaw it for a month. And because of our agreement, you can't stay with Rainbow for more than three days a week. Just keep that in mind." She laughed.

'How did she get so damn cynical? Where did I go wrong in raising her?'

We soon arrived back home. My diabolical sister simply floated me up to my room and dropped me hard on the floor.

"Now to go have fun with you little guy. Shoot, I forgot to name you. How about Droiture? Do you like that name, little guy? Now how about a late night snack?"

'Damn it Icy! Didn't you hear the last warning! DON"T FEED THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT! Wait, I'm frozen, and she can't hear me...fuck.'

As this last thought crossed my mind, I suddenly felt drowsy. And as my consciousness began to slip, the last thing I say was the original peer though my open door, it's big brown eyes filled with a look of shear fear, as if it knew what was about to happen. Then, I blacked out.

I awoke the next morning still encased in the ice my sister had imprisoned me in the night before, but I defiantly felt the ice had a much weaker hold on my skin and coat. I tried to move my wings a little bit, but it was no good. The ice had thawed a bit over night, but I was still stuck. Then I tried to move my mouth. Luckily, my breathing had melted the ice around my muzzle just enough for me to be able to talk.

"Ice Dancer! If you don't get up here and defrost me I'm gonna burn up all the letters you Coltfriend Handsome Thunder has ever sent you!"

But even though I was screaming at the to of my lungs, only muffled noises were able to escape my frozen prison. However, my cries did not fall on deaf ears. For it seemed that I was heard by the little fur ball creature that came out of Pinkie's MRDM. From under my bed it crawled out. But something seemed off. It was being really cautious, almost as if it was hiding from something. I tried again to call out to it.

"Hey there little guy." I said through the thick ice cube that surrounded me. "Is everything ok?"

Upon hearing the question, it raced up to my Icy cage, put its tiny little paws on the wall, looked me in my eyes and shook its head.

"Do you understand me?" I asked in awe.

Once again it took a look around before reconnecting with my gaze, and quickly nodded its head.

"That's incredible!" I exclaimed. "Can you talk?"

It lifted one of its little paws off the ice and use two of its appendages to form a small gap between them. Now I had remembered talking to Lyra a little bit not too long ago. She had told me that with 'hands' one could go about making all kinds of different gestures. I believe she said the one the creature was making meant 'A little bit'.

"A little bit?" I asked, trying to put what I spoke with Lyra to use. To my luck, it nodded its head. "Sweet, well do you have a name?" Again, It nodded its head. "Awesome, well I'm Pyrefly, what is your's?"

It stood there, trying to will the words out of its mouth. It seemed it hadn't spoken in quiet some time. Though it may remembered it could talk once, maybe it forgot how. But then it spoke.

"Gizmo" It said.

"So your name is Gizmo, huh? Nice to meet you. So do you think you can tell me where the pony that froze me is?"

At that, it became mute once more and simply shook its head once more.

"Ok, well, do you think that you can-"

Just as I was in the middle of the question, a lanky, green, pointy eyed creature came creeping through my still open door.

"Hmm, so after a century of confinement, here we are on an alien realm, and you are as stupid as those damn humans that got rid of us last time. But not this time."

'What the fuck is this thing talking about?' I thought 'And did it just mention humans? Damn, Lyra was right, they do exist. But what the hell is this thing-'

My train of thought was interrupted when the green being came closer to my frozen cell. It had warts all over its body, and was nothing but skin. Its eyes were blood shot, and bore the look of something pure evil.

"You damn creatures just can't follow directions, can you? The fucking paper said don't expose to water, and don't feed after midnight! But what the fuck do you do? The exact opposite!"

Now it was pacing around me, its hands behind its back. As it strolled, it continued to talk.

"You know, a century really is a long time. Long enough for us to evolve. Believe it or not, but back in the day, we couldn't form full sentences. Ha! Those was the days! Grunts and laughs were all we could muster. But know we have grown. And do you want to know something, we want to kill everything here! And then we will expand, and concur this WHOLE DAMN WORLD!" And with that it let out a deep, maniacal laugh. Then it turned back to me, and continued to speak. "Now unfortunate for you, you're already dead. Looks like one of your on kind got to you before we arrived from those ridiculous undeveloped forms. I was more just talking so that I could hear my own voice. You see I'm narcissistic like that. And because I love the name I was given, I'll use it. I'm Droiture, leader of the Gremlins, and life as you, ponies, know it, is about to become HELLISH!"

And with that, Droiture turned his back to me, and walked right out the room, laughing his head off.

'When I get out of this Ice Cube, I'm gonna burn you to ashes!' I thought, my anger building, ready to explode.
