I decided to stay outside until Chrysalis could figure out a way to bring me back, the Jay here scares me and I’m not used to him being nice and not creepy, I miss my Jay. I cleared out all of the clouds except for one, bringing it above our balcony and lying on it, thinking.

“Bridget! You forgot your schedule!” the new and nice Jay yelled.

schedule? I thought, I sighed and flew down to him. “I guess I did.” I said.

“Here you are.” Jay said as he floated over a schedule. “It’s not like you to be forgetful.” Says the guy who...different Jay right.

“I know, I just was in a hurry I guess.” I took the schedule and looked at it.

“Also, you forgot your lunch....” Jay said looking at the table.

“Sorry.” I said, walking over to the lunch bag and taking it in my mouth, looking at the schedule to see what I had to do.  Wow...a schedule detailing the time and place to clear the clouds, is Jay supposed to be Mr. schedule for deciding when and where the clouds should be clear? I shrugged and started to fly back into the sky.

“Did you forget that I’m your assistant?” Jay asked quickly.

“No I didn't.” I said, setting back down. Dear god I miss my sex crazy Jay, never thought I would think that.

“So, do you need anything else?” Jay asked again.

“Not that I know of.” I said, smiling.

“Alright, come see me later, you have an appointment with your team leader.” Jay said.

“Alright.” I said, picking up my lunch bag and flying out. Schedule said go right left right left at thirty degree angles and take care of the clouds one by one every ten minutes, which I didn't understand at all but did anyway, more learning how to fly for me! Yay...I finished half after an hour and decided to eat the lunch he packed for me. Daisy sandwich. I ate it quickly then started going by schedule again, another hour to clear the rest.

When I flew back to the balcony and landed Jay was standing there waiting for me. I feel like this Jay is in charge of everything involving my life here...

“Ah, there you are! I’ve been waiting for you.” Jay said waving me over. I walked over to him and smiled.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” I said.

“Alright come on, lets go talk to your leader, he has some assignment for you.” Jay said, walking to the front door.

“Alright.” I said, flying after him out the door. He brought me outside of the castle to meet a pegasus pony eating a pie. It was soarin, rainbow’s favourite wonderbolt, I guess he isn't a wonderbolt in this dimension?

“Here is your team leader.”  Jay said, with a bow before bringing up a clipboard holding some papers, with a quill too. “I’ll need you to sign this, and this, and probably that.”  He said, showing me the papers.

“Why...?” I asked, suspicious.

“You are his lieutenant? What else?” Jay asked. “Why do you think I’m your assistant?” I shrug and Sign where he points. He then uses his magic to put the clipboard to the side, while Soarin finishes his pie and started to speak.

“You done yet?” He asked. “I got a task for you, since I’m too lazy to do it myself.”

“I’m ready.” I said, I think I wont like this pony...

“You know that, was surprisingly taken out of context.” Soarin said. “Almost like you wanted me.”

“Just give me the job you want to give me.” I said exasperated already.

“.... Ooooh.” Soarin said wiggling his eyes suggestively.

“Stop it.” I said, “Just...nevermind.”

“Alright, anyhow... I’ll need you to clear this area, since those clouds aren’t supposed to be there.” Soarin said pointing to a map.

“Alright.” I said, flapping my wings to get into the air. Jay just politely bowed and stepped out of the way. I fly into the air and start going in the direction the map pointed, going over Soarin. Whom just took some small glances at my flank. I ignored best I could and flew as fast as I could, dragging a silver cloud behind me as I got rid of the clouds and flew quickly back.

“She got a nice flank eh?” Soarin said as he didn’t know that I had come back.

“Why you lookin at my flank buddy?” I asked, watching as he jumped when I walked in front of him, hitting him in the face with my tail.

“Because of your sexual appeal. What Else?” He asked as he rubbed his nose, with a small smile on his face.

“I go for stallions that look for smarts besides beauty.” I informed him, looking at Jay for help.

“I have to inform you Captain, that this can be classified as a sexual harassment case, and can be taken up in court.” Jay said politely, with a matter of fact tone.

“.... I’ll just be quiet from now on, and besides are you done already?” Soarin asked, as he lost his small smile.

“Yes, I also made a nice silver trail where I flew.” I informed them.

“Right, well you got the day off then, go ahead and do whatever you want.” Soarin said as he walked over to a table and brought out some papers. “I got paperwork to do.... I never signed up for this.”

“Alright.” I said, walking back into the tower and into me and Jay’s room, I then walked into my bedroom and fell onto the bed, exhausted.

                                                                                       ***Jay***

Bridget was screaming and Lilly was jumping around excitedly, waiting. When Bridget stopped screaming and stopped moving, and calmed down.

“Sorry, false alarm.” She said apologetically, getting off the bed and walking over to me, her belly almost touching the floor.

“Awww...” Lilly said a little sad, putting her head down, then lifted it up and smiled at me, “Daddy teach me your spells now!” She exclaimed jumping over to me and started pulling me..

“This is slightly terrifying...” I muttered as I looked at Bridget.

“Your used to those by now Jay Jay, thanks for the muffin.” Bridget used her magic to take the muffin and bit into it, as Lilly took me into the living room.

“Come on daddy!” She said, pulling me. I just followed her with a raised eyebrow.

“You said you would teach me the advanced spells that you learned, your the most powerful unicorn in Canterlot!” Lilly said smiling as she jumped happily around the living room and on the couch.

I just froze quickly before thinking. ’I’m the most powerful?’

“Well.... I might need a book for that, I have some memorized but the more... Easier... Advanced... Spells.... Are surely in a book.” I said looking rather unsure. Lilly tilted her head and frowned.

“But you never need a book to use your magic daddy! I watch you doing spells that could kill other unicorns without a book!” Lilly’s voice squeaked on the word ‘book’.

I just bit my lip and started to look around, the room became a bit blurry before a bright flash happened, and I was standing outside the castle. I looked around for awhile before saying. “Huh, never thought that I could emergency teleport away.” Another flash happened and lilly was looking up at me.

“You already taught me to teleport daddy!” She said, smiling up at me.

“Good girl!” I said smiling before looking around, I looked up and saw a misplaced cloud, I then thought about maybe creating a lightning bolt, and focused on it. And then an orange beam shot up into the cloud and a huge orange lightning bolt struck the ground, close to some ponies.

“Whoops.” I said apologetically to the ponies.

“Cool!” Lilly said, closing her eyes and concentrating, her horn glowing a light purple as she shot a beam into the cloud as well, making a tiny lightning bolt come out of the cloud and hit my flank.

“Ahh.” I said jumping a bit. “That was surprisingly tingly.”

“Sorry daddy.” Lilly said. Bridget walked out onto the balcony above and looked down at us

“Come inside, learning new magic outside isn't a good idea Jay Jay.” She said, walking back into the room.

“But.... but.... Ah, fine.” I said walking towards the main gate. “Come on Lilly, your mother decided to be a fun killer and not let us practice outside.”

“We usually practice inside anyway.” Lilly said, jumping onto my back and nuzzling into my mane. I walked inside, and started walking around in the confusing maze of the castle. After a while I got back to the room, and was feeling somewhat exhausted. I just walked over to the couch, and lifted up Lilly, then put her down on the couch.. Before sitting down myself. Lilly hugged me and nuzzled into my fur, like I used to do to Bridget, when I was feeling affectionate.

“I love you daddy.” Lilly said.

“I love you too kiddo.” I said with a smile.

“This is so sweet.” Said Chrysalis appearing in front of us.

“Daddy! why is the bug pony visiting us?” Lilly asked.

“Hmm.... You can see her?” I asked quietly looking at Lilly.

“Yes I can, she is right their.” Lilly said, looking at the queen.

“Little kids have always been able to see invisible things when adults aren't able to see anything, it isn't surprising Jay.” Chrysalis said, not at all surprised that Lilly could see her as she smiled.

“He isn't named Jay, bug pony, He is named Alpha and he is my daddy!” Lilly said, hugging me tightly. I just looked down at Lilly and smiled.

“Alright, what do you want?” I asked chrysalis.

“Lilly can you please go see your mother? This is big pony talk.” Chrysalis said sweetly to Lilly.

“Ok!” Lilly said, letting me go and running to where Bridget was in the room.

“So you are enjoying living here Jay?” Chrysalis asked.

“Actually, yeah... Wouldn’t mind staying here.” I said.

“Well Bridget would rather be back with you, she misses you and doesn't like where she is.” Chrysalis informed me, smiling, “Your child’s love is tasty, like candy.” She said.

“Hey, I might not have known that kid all that long, but she’s still mine, han-... Hooves of the love.” I said before thinking about what she said. “But what happens if I go back?”

“The Jay from this dimension comes back and everything goes back to normal here, and she isn't really your kid, so I can have what I want.” Chrysalis said sniffing.

I just sighed before saying, “Alright so why are you telling me this?”

“It’s your choice to go back or not, and Bridget wants nothing more than to go back, she would rather have you then the Jay she is with now.” Chrysalis said, smiling at me.

“So you are giving me the choice to go back right?”

“I just said you had a choice.” She said, frowning, “But Bridget is miserable and would rather see you then see the Jay who is pleasant and bows to her.”

“Alright, you can send me back whenever.” I said through a sigh. “Hope those two have a good life.”

“They will, and you never know, Bridget might like you, thats probably a reason why she misses you.” Chrysalis said, putting a hoof on my shoulder, “I will have to find a spell to bring you back, so it will take a bit.”

“Alright.” I said as I was feeling a bit drowsy, and yawned.

“Go sleep now, I will be back in the morning.” Chrysalis said as she disappeared and Lilly ran into her room to go to bed.

I just got up and walked after her, to tuck her in and say good night. As I came into her room I stumbled forward a bit and yawned.

“Goodnight.” Lilly said, closing her eyes. I just smiled and kissed her on the cheek before saying goodnight too, and tucking her in. I walked into my room after and lied down next to Bridget, and fell asleep.
