Chapter 2: Shooting Star

After I explained everything to Princess Celestia, her smile quickly evolved into a frown.
"I see." She said, sounding unsure of what to do. "The kids can handle it." She finally said.
"Wait, what? That is a meteorite heading towards Equestria, and you want Twilight and her friends to stop it?" I asked.
"Why of course. They saved the world twice, why not again?" She replied. I stared at her, until Starlight finally added,
"Y'know, sometimes I wonder why Equestria is always staring at the face of danger. Oh, right. It's because our ruler doesn't want to deal with it herself." And with that, she teleported us away.

We teleported back into our house, figuring out what to do.
"Hey, Starlight." I called to her.
"What?" She replied from the bathroom.
"Remember that one time that I went into space?"
There was a pause.
"...Yeah?" She replied, sounding worried at what I was going to say next.
"What if I did that again? To, y'know, stop the meteorite?"
She stepped out of the bathroom and walked downstairs to where I was sitting.
"You know that doing this can be very risky. The last time you tried it, you were in the hospital for six months!" She replied.
"That was only because I had my trajectory wrong. If I had angled my wings by just a few more degrees, I could have gotten the velocity that was required." I replied.
"Yes, but you can hurt yourself. I don't want you getting two broken wings and a petrified leg again." She said.
"Trust me. I can do this." I said, looking into her eyes.
She stopped for a moment, deciding what to do.
"...Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you when you kill yourself." She said back.

"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Starlight said. I turned to look at her, which was hard due to the sunrise that was coming up. I pulled down my goggles.
"Positive." I said. I curled into almost like a ball.
"3...2...1... go!" She swung the axe at the rope that was holding the arm of the catapult down. The arm swung up with a loud "thwang!" I could feel the wind rushing over my face. When I was at my peak speed, I unfurled my wings and started flapping them as hard as I could. I then shot straight down as the cone formed around me. I was only three feet away from the ground, and stopped. I turned around, and like a slingshot, that cone tightened and I shot upward, doubling my speed. The exact same cone formed around me again, but with the extra speed I had picked up, I shattered through it, literally tripling my speed. A loud boom was heard behind me, and I looked back to see a streak trailing behind me that looked like the night sky. I held my breath as I passed the O-zone layer, and out of the atmosphere. There was a purple light encased in the projectile, one that I could only imagine was Twilight Sparkle's. She must be as shocked as I am. But her magic was not enough, and I made contact with it, pushing against the meteorite. Let me tell ya, this was about as useless as an ant fighting a giant. I thought all was lost, until I heard yet another boom. I saw a light blue Pegasus that had a mane and tail that had the colors of the rainbow on them. On the upside, she was sure as hell strong. On the downside, it wasn't enough to stop the meteorite. It finally lit on fire and heated up a lot before we came in contact with the ground.

"...Stargazer... wake up Stargazer... WAKE UP!" I jolted up and looked around. I was in a hospital. I looked at Starlight, who was sitting next to my bed.
"What did I break?" I asked.
"Nothing. The meteor shrank down to a small enough size where it couldn't do any harm. You are only in here because you have 9th degree burns." She said back. I raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't know there was such thing as a ninth degree burn." I said.
"There is now." She replied.
"So, I did all that for nothing?" I asked.
"No, you slowed it down enough to where it became small enough to do no harm. If you hadn't of done that, Ponyville would most likely be a wasteland by now." She explained.
"Oh. Well, this sucks." I said, laying back down.
"Don't worry, Nurse Redheart says you should be out of here in a month or so." She replied.
"Miss Starlight?" a nurse peeked through the door.
"Yes?" She replied.
"You need to fill out some paperwork, follow me please." She instructed. Starlight looked at me.
"Take care." She said, and she followed the nurse out the door. I sighed and looked at the ceiling. This is gonna be one long month. I closed my eyes as my thoughts began to drift.

Recovering

Note: I will not say everything that happened in the hospital, so I will skip around a few days.

Chapter 3: Recovering

It's been about a day since I've been in the hospital. I was busy reading a book Twilight gave me when Rainbow Dash walked in.
"What's up, Stargazer?" She asked, walking towards me.
"Well, I'm not dead thanks to you. I owe you one" I replied.
"Well, as soon as you get out of the hospital, come by my place." And with that, she left the room.

Two Days Later.

Friefly, my best friend, and his older sister, Solar Flare, walked in the room.
"What's up, Stargazer?" They both said at the same time. I looked at them, puzzled.
"Deja vu." I said.
"Well, I basically have ninth degree burns, and it will take about a week to recover." I replied.
"I didn't know that ninth degree burns exist." Firefly said.
"They do now." I chuckled. Solar Flare looked me over.
"Dude, look at yourself! You're a mess." She said. I looked myself over.
"It's not so ba-" I looked at my stomach. There was literally a giant burn mark streaking through it, and it was also very scraped up.
"Wow, I never noticed that." I said.
"Well, we brought flowers." Firefly said. I furrowed my brow.
"Seriously? Flowers?" I asked.
"Hey, it was her idea." Firefly pointed to her sister.
"Well, we had best be going." Firefly said, walking towards the door.
I went back to reading my book.

Two Weeks Later.

Twilight and her friends, except for Rainbow Dash, walked in.
"What's up, Stargazer?" Twilight said. I stared at her.
"I have heard that way too many times." I said.
"We just wanted to thank you for saving Equestria." Fluttershy said behind her mane.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Rainbow Dash did that." I objected.
"Oh, don't be so modest darling." Rarity said.
"Yeah! And right after you get out of the hospital, we're gonna throw a party for you! Ooh,ooh, there should be plenty of balloons, and chocolate cake, and punch!" Pinkie Pie said while bouncing up and down.
"Well, thank you for stopping by." I said.
"We also brought ya some flowers!" Applejack said. I waved my hoof.
"No no no, I already have some, give it to the pony next door." I insisted.
"Too bad." Twilight said, and she put them on the table next to me.
"I need to go,um...f-feed Angel." Fluttershy said and left the room as fast as she could.
"What's up with her?" I asked.
"Oh, you know Fluttershy, always freaks out when the world is on the brink of destruction." Twilight said.
"Let's follow her!" Pinkie Pie said. I looked at her, but she was gone.
"See ya later, sugarcube." Applejack said. And with that, they left.

One week later.

I was walking towards Rainbow Dash's house. I had finally recovered from the hospital, but they said for me to take it easy on my wings. I can still fly, but I can't do it too fast. I walked to her cloud house, and flew up to it. I knocked on the door, and it made a surprising hollow sound.
"Come in." Rainbow Dash called. I walked inside.
"Up here." She called from upstairs, in her bedroom. I went up the stairs and opened the door. She was lying down on her bed and was staring at me.
"Hi, Stargazer." She said in a lustful voice. My smile turned into a blank expression, and I walked out of the door backwards and closed the door. I turned around and walked down the stairs and out of the house. I hovered to the ground and walked to my house, 7 miles away, without saying a word. I walked into my house, into my bed, and drifted to sleep.

Note: Shit is about to get really confusing at this point, so listen carefully.

Chapter 4: Twists and turns

I opened my eyes to see a sky blue pegasus laying in my bed, smiling.
"ah!" I yelped. "How long have you been there?" I asked.
"All night." Rainbow Dash replied. I frowned and got up and went out of my room, Rainbow Dash following me. I walked over and picked up a bucket and went into my kitchen. I filled the bucket up with water, and poured it on her head. She shook her head, making water fly everywhere, including on me. She looked at me and asked,
"What happened?" She was holding her head as if she were dizzy.
"You tried to flirt with me." I replied.
"Oh, well, see ya later." She said, walking out the door. I walked over and slumped down on my couch.
"What was that all about?" I asked nopony in particular.
I looked at the time. "Well, I should probably get my mail bag."

I flew over to Derpy's house, which was about a mile or two from my house. I landed on the steps and knocked on the door. The door opened a crack to reveal Derpy, with her mail bag and everything.
"Hey, Stargazer. It's good to get some help again after you being in the hospital for a month." She said.
"Okay, ready to get the mail?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm ready, are you ready?" She asked me.
"...Yes." There was a bit of a silence."...cough."

So, we went to the office where only one other pony, our boss was there, helping other ponies. Our mail service was a bit weird because it only had me and Derpy. Our boss, Bedrock, was the one that stays in touch with all of the other EPS's around the world, and did all of the paperwork and advertisement. Me and Derpy deliver the mail, and that is all there is to it. We dropped by the office and got the mail.
"Ah, good morning you two!" Bedrock said. "We have a big load today, and Stargazer! Thanks for saving to world!" He said cheerfully.
"Yeah, no problem at all." I said, pointing to my stomach, which still had the burn mark on it. He laughed.
"Well, don't get a swelled head. Now get going!" We walked outside and went on our usual route. Our first house was Doctor Hooves's house. Derpy knocked on the door. Doctor Hooves opened the door.
"Ah! Derpy! I was just chatting with Abraham Lincoln." He said. I frowned. Is he from Earth?. I thought.
Suddenly, a dark pegasus flew from above and tackled Doctor Hooves inside of his house.
"Oof!" He grunted when being thrown into his house.
"Doctor!" Derpy yelled. Not again. I thought. The pegasus bursted through the roof, holding onto the Doctor. I flew up as fast as I could,but it really hurt because of my sore wing. I finally caught up with the pegasus. I punched him in the face, and he let go of the Doctor and tackled me, in midair. I flipped him over below me and smashed him into the ground.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" I screamed. He just chuckled.
"I know your secret." He replied. He then dissipated into black smoke.
I looked over at where the Doctor was, and he got caught by Derpy just in time.
"Um... what was that?" Derpy asked as she flew over to me.
"How am I supposed to know?" I replied. After that, we forgot about it and continued delivering mail.

I was walking home, wondering about what happened in the beginning of the day.
"Stargazer.... ready to go to another world?" The same voice said from before. I looked around, only to find nothing there except for a cool breeze.
"No, not really." I replied.
"Well, too bad!" It said. Black smoke formed from under my hooves and wrapped around me. I closed my eyes, until all the sounds of air around me stopped. I opened my eyes. I was laying on the ground.
"What the..." I shrugged and walked away.

I went into the town square of Ponyville. I passed by sugarcube corner when Pinkie Pie waved at me.
"Hey! Hey! Come over here!" She called at me. That was strange, she didn't call me by my name.
"Wanna try a cupcake?" She asked. I looked at her.
"No thanks..." I started to walk away. "She came up from behind and shoved one in my mouth. I spat it out and turned around to her. I felt incredibly woozy.
"What was in that cupcake?!" I demanded.
"Oh, only a sleepy ingredient!" She replied with a smile. I fell to the ground, and my vision turned black.

Cupcakes

Chapter 5: Cupcakes

I woke up inside of a sort of dungeon, with skulls and torches lining the walls. There was also blood splattered across the wall. All leading to a... Plate of cupcakes? This reminds me of... I thought to myself. I tried to pull off of the table that I was strapped to by ropes.
"Ah, you're awake." Pinkie Pie said as she walked up to me. Her hair was deflated, and she was a darker shade of pink.
"How I wish I was busy at my house understanding what the HELL is going on!" I yelled at her.
"House? What house? We've never seen you before in our lives." She said.
"Yes you have!" I stopped. "What do you mean, we?"
"Us." They all said. all seven more of them stepped out, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, even the princesses were there! I noticed that they were all wearing dresses that, at a closer look, had a variety of cutie marks, horns, and wings attached to them. They all had crazed expressions on their faces. Pinkie Pie reached in a cupboard and took out a knife.
"We need some special ingredients for our cupcakes." She said, pulling the knife towards my cutie mark.
Oh, god. What to do, what to do? I thought. I noticed something she did wrong, however. I unfurled my wings and slapped the knife out of her hoof.
"Ha! Take that!" I said. She was startled that I had done that, but quickly regained herself. She went over and picked the knife back up. My original plan was to slap it out of her hand with such accuracy that it would cut some of the ropes off. If my arms weren't strapped down, I would have facehoofed.
"Pesky one, aren't you? Maybe I can deal with these wings first. All in favor?" She looked to everypony else.
"I." They all said.
(Smooth moves, dumbass.)
Ahem. What?
{ We are your consciousness.} Another vice said.
I am peace.
{I am knowledge.}

So, um, your my consciousness?
(You know it.)
So, how does this help me? Silence.

Sure, whatever.
As Pinkie came close again, there was one swift pull of both of my arms. They both broke free. I grabbed the knife and threw it under a table. One strong flap of my wings and my legs broke free as well. I dashed out of the room, running up a dark flight of stairs.
"Get him!" Pinkie yelled.
I ran up into sugarcube corner and slammed the door. I ran outside and stopped. Everypony was holding knives with murderous expressions on their faces. I ran away.
Hey, knowledge! You're smart, right?
{Yes.}
Tell me what's going on!
{Well, I can't be completely sure, but I believe you are in a different universe.}
No? What else is new?
{Well, according to the laws of calculus and the speed of light, gravity, and sound, if you can go at an estimation of 10,000 miles per hour, you will break all laws of physics and gravity, thus switching the plane of universes, but you will go to a random dimension.}
(NERD!)
[Can't we try convincing them to stop?]
No time for that!
I ran behind a corner and took to the sky. I dodged Rainbow Dash, who flew right towards me. I flew up into cloudsdale, went into a random abandoned house.
So, am I stuck with you four?
{Precisely.}
[Yup.]

(You got a problem with that?)
{Let us explain. We have been with you since birth. We have helped you in times of need. For example. I was the one that knew the trajectory and calculations for you to succeed against the meteorite.}

(I am the one that fuels all of your anger into blind, but controlled, rage.)
[And I was the one who kept you from going insane from the thoughts of our parents dying.]
Oh, I get it. Well, can we go into a different universe now?
([{}])
Okay. I flew up into the sky about as fast as I could, letting Knowledge and Strength take over. But even at the speeds we were going, it was not enough.
(Hey, peace! Let all of the memories of our parents out!)
What?! Why?
[Okay.] Suddenly my brain flashed with images, images of my parents playing with me, of them smiling, all of those good, wonderful memories. Then, it showed pictures of my parents dying, the funeral, all of the sad parts. Then it showed the pony who did it, and that just made me want to destroy everything. All of the hatred viewed from that one memory had quadrupled our speed, rage filling inside of me, basically making me have more of a will to go faster. Finally, there was a flash of light, then darkness. I could only hear the consciousnesses cheering.
(We did it! We showed those bitches who's boss!)
{Hold on. We don't even know what world we are in this time.} I opened my eyes to see a small, dark room, with a giant machine in the corner. There was a pegasus being held up by chains, and then was dropped into the contraption. There was a massive grinding sound as blood splattered everywhere. There was another machine connected to it, and a variety of colors spurted out of the machine.
(...goddammit...)

Rainbow Factory

(Oh, dammit dammit DAMMIT! Why here?)
There was an almost balcony structure at the top, and the fillies and colts around me were shitting bricks. The pony on top cackled with insanity.
"What is going on?" An orange filly- Scootaloo?
{Strange... It seems we went back in time.}
She went back to, um, cackling.
"Excuse me? Rainbow Dash? Could you show me where the exit is?" I said. She stopped and looked directly at me with a death glare.
"How did you-" She started.
"It's because I'm from a different universe, mmmkay?" I replied. She looked stunned.
"Wait, Rainbow Dash wouldn't do that!" Scootaloo objected. I flew up to the platform and grabbed the mask, pulling it off. Having Scootaloo see Rainbow Dash in charge of this made her break down into tears.
"Why? W-why would you do this?" She begged.
"Come on! Does anypony else not notice the fact that I know exactly what is going on here?" I looked around the room. "Nopony? Well, let me explain. Rainbow Dash had to join this factory to make rainbows when Princess Celestia gave up after having to control the sun and the moon, and scientists came up with a perfect idea that makes rainbows out of children being dumped into this doohickey over here, which in retrospect, is not a very good idea. Anyways, fillies and colts that fail the exam are killed to make rainbows when-" I felt knowledge taking over,"- the formula is all wrong! X equals T, not R! It's a simple calculation between formulas and mathematics, but while X creates R, T is a much better substitute for X!" I stopped. Everypony was staring at me.
What was that all about?!
{Sorry. It's a bad habit.}
(We gotta get the fuck out of here!)
Strength?

I turned around to the door that was behind Rainbow Dash and sped through it, breaking the door in half. I flew through around a bunch of tubes, wires, and other things.
Can we get out the same way as last time?

I found a trash duct of some sort and dived through it, only to be back in the same room that had the machine in it. The guards grabbed me and flew me over to Rainbow Dash, who had a pissed expression on her face.
"I don't know who you are, or how you got here, but you are annoying me, and so you will go into that machine next!" She said to me.
(Well, fuck.)
They brought me over to the machine, and, before I thought they couldn't do anything more that could harm me, the broke my wings. Each time with a shriek of pain finding its way out of my mouth. I was held against a wall by two chains in the wall, and they slowly started moving down.
"I think I should make your death slow and painful." Rainbow Dash said.
Well, we're back to where we started.
(Nopony is going to help us this time.)
{Wow. And we only just introduced ourselves.}
[This sucks.]

Wait, I think somepony is whispering.
"Clear, fly, fall, complete."
Oh, shit.
The room bursted with all of the kids flying around the room, and I saw Scootaloo land on the balcony, with her and some other filly trying to buck the door dow- oh wait, that door is already broken. Let me rephrase that. Scootaloo landed on the balcony, only to be caught by Rainbow Dash. She tried to fly to the side to flip the switch up and save me, until Rainbow Dash caught up and started beating the living shit out of her.
[Oooh... That's gotta hurt.]
Rainbow Dash's hooves slowly became stained with blood as she punched scootaloo until death.
Wow. That didn't happen in the story.
Suddenly, a bright light filled the room. I looked up to see an old style telephone box. Doctor Hooves bursted out and was, well, shocked. He didn't know what to do. That is until he threw a piece of metal in the machine to jam it.
"Hurry!" He yelled.
(Now is our chance!)

I gave Strength control and I quickly busted through the chains and landed on the edge of the machine. I tried to fly over to the Doctor, only to remember that my wings are broken. I landed on the ground, pain in my back, but I still crawled over to the telephone box named TARDIS where the doctor already ran into. I opened the door, but felt a sharp pain of electricity run through my back again. I turned around to the guard that tazed me, and punched him in the face. Strength was still in control, so the guard fell down, unconscious.
Come...On...
I opened the door and jumped in, while closing the door behind me. For what felt like the hundredth time, I passed out on the floor.

Chapter 6: Back home

I woke up to see the chestnut brown pony known as Doctor Hooves, or The Doctor, for short. He seemed to be grumbling to himself. I got up and he looked over.
"Ah! You're awake. I see I'm not the only one that can travel into other dimensions." He said, walking over to me.
(How in the HELL did he find us?)
Don't care.
"Thanks for saving me. I owe you one." I replied.
"Oh no, I saved you because you saved me. If I had been prepared, I wouldn't of had to come get you. However, I am always of service." He said. He walked over to a machine in the middle of the bigger-than-the-outside room. He punched in coordinates on some number pad and I felt the room shake.
"We have arrived." The Doctor said after it stopped shaking. He walked over and opened the door, and it appeared as if we arrived outside of my home, where I saw Derpy freaking out. She turned to me walking out of the TARDIS.
"Stargazer! You just disappeared a few seconds ago!" She said. I turned to The Doctor. He looked at me,
"Ah, yes, you see, I got us back to the exact time that you disappeared. You felt like you were gone for about twenty minutes or so, while Derpy thinks that you were gone for only a fraction of a second." he explained.
"Man, what a weird week." I said. I walked up to Derpy.
"What just-"
"Just pretend nothing happened." I interrupted.
"Oh! I like pretending! I can pretend I'm a muffin! Aren't I tasty?"
I stopped in my tracks.
(Dafuq did she just say!?)
{That was unexpected...}

I looked at her. From the look in her eyes, she had no idea that the phrase sounded sexual at all.
"Um, very tasty... why do you pretend to be a muffin?" I asked.
"Oh, you know! I love muffins! Like chocolate muffins, and blueberry muffins, and razzleberry muffins..."
We continued on our route as she went on and on about what flavor muffins she liked. She didn't like boysenberry muffins, however.

We walked into the office to see Bedrock snoring in his chair, a magazine on his face.
"Ahem." I said.
"Wh-wha?" He was startled and the magazine fell off of his face, and he looked very embarrassed.
"Ah! You're back! Well, that's it for today. Here's your weekly payment." We walked over and he gave us 50 bits.
"see you two the day after tomorrow! I have some things to take care of in here." We walked out of the building. Derpy looked at me.
"Hey, I need you to babysit Dinky, I need to go to a store and get some things, will that be okay?" She asked.
"Oh, that's fine. I usually have nothing to do anyways."
(Babysit? That sounds boooooooorrrrriiiiiingggggggggggg.)
[Not as boring as sitting around all day at home.]
{Indeed. Besides, Stargazer is incredibly reliable at any time.}
Damn straight.

I followed Derpy to her home and we walked inside. Dinky, who is nine years old, peeked around the corner of a hallway.
"Hi mom!" She said. She looked over at me and frowned. "Oh, hi Stargazer." She said, sounding very bored.
(Don't sound too excited.)
"I'm going to be at the store for a while, Stargazer is gonna keep you company." Derpy said, and she walked out the door. I went over and sat in the living room. Dinky was sitting at the table doing her homework.
Maybe I can strike up a conversation with her.
(Yeah, see how hard that fails.)
{Anger, stop it. You are getting on his nerves.}
Actually, all of you are kind of getting on my nerves. I never wanted four talking voices in my head.
(See? He doesn't give a damn about us!)
{Is this true Stargazer?}
...
(See? Again!)
Leave me alone for now, please?
I looked at Dinky.
"So... How's school been?"
"The usual, got picked on by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon because I'm supposedly a "half-orphan" and mom has a mental disorder."
"Those two again? I thought your mom talked to their parents about that."
"Their parents said the exact same thing. They thought mom was a useless piece of junk and that she shouldn't deserve to be alive. She can never live without you. I hear her cry sometimes at night, but whenever she is around you, she thinks the world is so much better."
I stayed silent. Then she turned to me and looked me in the eyes.
"When dad died, she was never the same. She was very depressed and unhappy. She even started thinking about committing suicide, until she met you. Mom really likes you. A lot. You are the only one that can make her happy. So do what she wants you to do." She then turned back to her homework as I tried to understand what she just said.
(Moody much?)
{That filly is... smart.}
[Why can I only feel that you will never become friends with her?]

(Oh, dude, you should totally do it!)
What?
(You should ask Derpy on a date!)
What? No!
{Actually, judging on what Dinky just said, and by the feelings we all know that you have, I believe that Anger's idea may leave a positive effect.}
...
{...What?}
(You have never agreed with me before. Ever.)
{What difference does that make?}
Alright, fine, I'll do it.
"You'd better." Dinky said from across the room. I looked at her.
"What?"
"Your consciousnesses are right. You should date my mom. It would make her really happy." She replied.
(Holy shit. She knows what we are saying. This kid is awesome.)
"Frankly, Anger, using that kind of language is highly unnecessary." She said back.
(I don't like her anymore.)
She chuckled, "You never liked me. You hated me from the start."
"How do you know what they are saying?" I asked.
"I'm very gifted. I could leave Trixie, Twilight, and Princess Celestia in shock if they knew how much magic potential I have at this early age." She explained. "I am very good at magic. For example." She flashed in an almost Pinkish light and flashed behind me.
"Peekaboo."
The door opened and Derpy walked in with no groceries whatsoever.
"Back so early?" I said. She sighed.
"They kicked me out because of my disorder."
That's. Fucking. IT.
(Oh, yay! This is where I come in!)
"I'll handle it." I said to her, and walked out of the door.
[I wonder why Dinky isn't her carefree little self anymore.]
{The effect that her mom got also leads to her.}

I was running towards a nearby store. Neigh-Mart was what it was called, owned by Filthy Rich. I walked over and looked at Filthy, who was standing near the entrance.
"Did Derpy come here?" I asked.
He turned away from one of his customers and looked at me. "Her? She isn't allowed here. She's too stupid." That was followed by some laughing from him and his nearby bodyguards.
"Mr. Filthy, anypony is allowed here, that's what your motto is." I said to him. The laughing stopped.
"The name is mister Rich!" He practically screamed at me. I smirked.
"Bite me."
"grrr...Guards! Show this idiot some manners!" He barked at the three stallions standing there.
(Come at me bros!)

Check his stuff out, its awesome.

Chapter 8: Mall fight

{Stargazer, what are you doing!?}
I saw the three guards rush me, and I punched one square in the face. I had second thoughts however, as two more guards came by.
(Hightail it, dude!)
I ran inside of the store and turned around.
What have I gotten myself into?

As one of the guards ran up, I dodged his sluggish punch and kicked him in the face. Two more came up, and I uppercutted one straight into the air. I grabbed the one directly in front of me and tossed him upward, where he collided with his dazed teammate.
"Hey! Need help?"
What the fu-
One of the guards punched me, and I was on the floor.
(Dude! He knocked you on your ass! Ha ha!)
I looked up to see a yellow pony with a yellow and black striped mane and tail pinning a guard and punching the life out of him.
(Who is this guy?)
[He seems very violent.]
{Whoever he is, he seems to be aiding us.}
The anonymous pony flew back and grabbed the last guard. He threw him into the dazed one on the ground and yelled,
"Boom! Headshot!"
(Boom! Headshot!)
He walked over to me and helped me up.
"What was that all about?" He asked.
"There is this friend that I know that tried to come here, but was kicked out because everypony thinks she has a mental disorder, while in turn, she is very special." I explained. He looked over to Mr. Filthy.
"Oh, that bitch is going to get it for turning her down." He said, walking over to the terrified rich douchebag.
"So, call me a freak, tell me I like stupid, and then turn down a mare just because she was special. You are so FUCKING lucky I have a heart or you would be dead." He growled. He then punched him in the back of the head in the right spot to knock him out.
(This guy is a badass!)
He walked up to me and said,
"I never introduced myself, names Bumble, like a bumble bee." He said.
"I'm Stargazer, nice to meet you." I replied.
"Derpy didn't get to get some food, but she can now." I said, and walked toward the door to get Derpy over here so she can get something, but I instead ran into her while exiting.
"Stargazer, what just happened?" She asked, her voice filled with worry.
"Oh nothing. You can buy something now." I reassured her.
We walked inside and Bumble walked over to greet her.
"Hello Derpy, my name is Bumble. Tell me if that snobby pony bothers you again and I will make sure he won't ever do it again." Bumble said. Derpy nodded and hugged him.
"Thank you so much!" She said.
Don't overdo it.
He gave her some silver bits.
"You're welcome, knock yourself out." He said. Derpy took the bits and went off to buy some things.
"That's some heart you got there." I said to him. He grinned,
"I'm fluttershys colt friend, so her kindness must have leaked on me." He said. He then looked like he realized something.
"Stargazer, would you like to come to my friends date with Princess Luna? We're going bowling." He asked.
(Do it!)
{I do myself enjoy a game of bowling.}

"That would be fun!" I replied.

This chapter is short because I crossed over with brony4ever, so yeah.

Chapter 9: Bowling

7:45 p.m.

I was busy reading my favorite book on astronomy, until there was a knock on the door. I opened to see Bumble, a light blue pegasus with red stripes, and a white and red striped alicorn.
"Who are these two?" I asked. They looked shocked.
"Aren't you surprised that that an alicorn is here?" Bumble said.
"Bitch, I was recently sent to two different universes, saved Equestria from a meteorite, broke time and space, including the sound barrier twice, nearly got killed three times, and you want me to be surprised because there is an alicorn standing in front of me?" I asked. All of their jaws dropped.
"You're gonna have to tell me that story sometime." Bumble said.

7:55 p.m.

We were walking towards Princess Luna's room, ready to help this scared as hell alicorn with his date.
"Hey, you should think of a name." Giro said.
"Yeah, it would be a lot better to go on a date and she would know what to call you." Bumble said. I stayed low, thinking on what his name should be.
(Bloody Spartan!)
{Blank red?}
[white smoke.]

({[What?]})
Guys, be quiet. I'm trying to think...
"...How about James?" Bumble broke the silence.
"That's a human name!" Giro stated.
"Well, I don't know any others." Bumble replied.
"...Hey, when is Twilight's foal coming?" Bumble asked. Giro smiled.
"Soon. Very soon." He replied.
"...How about watcher?" Bumble said.
"Why not?" The alicorn said. He was about to knock on the door, until,
"Crimson Haze."
Everypony looked directly at me.
"That is a really good name!" Giro said.
"I like it." Crimson said.
He knocked on the door and Princess Luna opened it, her dazzling dress very...appealing.
I noticed Bumble whispered something to Giro, and he looked back at him with an expression that said "I don't give a shit."
"Ok guys, ready?" Bumble asked.

We went to Pin's Bowling Alley. We walked in and went into lane five. Bumble paid for everything, and still had some bits to spare.
(Damn, that guy is rich!)
{I wonder where he obtained it.}

[Hey, has anypony else noticed the lack of Pinkie Pie lately?]
I don't care, I never really liked her anyways.
Luna started, getting a perfect strike.
"Aha! The fun has been doubled!" She cheered.
(Looks like we got some competition.)
Hey, Knowledge, you ready to whoop some asses?
(That's what she said!)
{Yes. With my education on trajectory and force, this should be a, how do you say it? Piece of cake?}
Alright, let's do this.
Crimson was next, and he looked as confused as I was when I went to Earth. Speaking of which...
Bumble went over and helped Crimson out.
Crimson got four down the first time, and then three more, counting a total of seven.
Bumble came up and hit nine pins, then hit the last one. Spare.
"Yes!" He cheered in triumph.
I was up next, and as I grabbed the bowling ball, Knowledge took over.
{Let's see...trajectory 7.16...force and strength 18.5... and...}
I rolled the ball, and it went into a straight line with the perfect force, knocking all of the pins down.
(Like a boss!)
I looked over at Bumble and smirked.
(You mad bro?)
Giro was up next, and boy, did he fail! He got a gutter on the first throw, and only got three in the next! He sighed and Bumble went over and patted his back.
The game continued, with me and Luna up at the top, Crimson slowly behind us, and Bumble slowly behind him, while Giro was at the bottom. It was about 11:00 and we were so close. If I can get the strike, I will get a perfect game and beat Luna by one pin. Knowledge took over yet again.
{...and...}
I rolled it in, getting another strike.
"Hell yeah!" I cheered, taking a sip of Dr. Stallion that Bumble bought us.
Luna kissed Crimson in the cheek, and he blushed deeply. Luna walked out of the building.
Bumble went up to him.
"Score." He said, and Crimson blushed.
(Hey Stargazer, aren't you gonna ask them about the humans and whatnot yet?)
Oh yeah.
Giro and Bumble were walking, until I stopped them. I grinned.
"So you know about humans." I said. They looked at each other with bewildered expressions on their faces.

Chapter 10: Confession

It was around 7:00, and I was watching the stars through my telescope. I was in a noticeably good mood today. Made some new friends, beat Princess Luna in bowling, and a bunch of other crazy stuff. I was about to pack up my telescope because the sun was rising, until I heard a knock on my door. I looked through a window to see the yellow and black striped tail.
"Oh! Hey Bumble, come in!" I called. He walked inside.
"I came here about that story were you stopped a comet, went to 2 universes, AND something else." He said. I turned to look at him.
"Well, it all started when the Cutie Mark Crusaders rushed into my house to want to see if their special talent was to Stargaze. So I set up the telescope and they said that they saw a shooting star. When I realized it was a meteor, I told my sister to teleport me to Princess Celestia to tell her. When she didn't really do anything, I thought I could stop it by getting shot out of a catapult. I was in the hospital for three weeks. Then, there was this black pegasus that sent me to a different universe, in which everypony wanted to kill me, and then I flew so fast that I broke the space time continuum and got teleported to another universe where Rainbow Dash wanted to kill me. Then, the Doctor appeared and saved me, and then I had to bbysit Derpy's daughter, leading to the fight at Neigh-mart, and that's when I met you." I explained.
"Wow! That sounds like some adventure!" He said.
Hm... I wonder if he knows something about Pinkie Pie...
"Hey have you seen Pinkie pie?" I asked.
"Oh, no not recently. Why?" He then looked at the cut the I got on my arm when I was fighting with those guys at Neigh-mart.
"I'll be right back." Bumble said. I nodded and he went into the kitchen.
(What's he doing in there?)
Probably getting something to eat.
[Seems kind of strange, don't you think?]
{Stargazer, BEHIND YOU!}
I turned around and gasped. Bumble was charging at me with a knife.
Strength!

I dodged his slash and punched him in the face. He tried to slice me again, but missed.
"Dude! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I screamed. He slashed at me again, this time, cutting through my chest. The pain seeped in, and I forced myself to do one last buck into his face. He was knocked out.
(What the fuck was that!?)
I don't know! Ow...
I grabbed a first aid kit in the kitchen and rapped my chest around with a soft, leathery material (I don't know what its called, okay?) and dragged Bumble upstairs into my bed. A few minutes later, he bolted up.
"Bumble! Dude! What the fuck was that back there?!" I asked.
"I killed Pinkie Pie. She's in the basement of Sugarcube Corner." He replied.
WHAT?!
(Holy shit! This dude is insane!)
{Yes, even I don't know what to believe in.}
I backed away from him.
"I killed Pinkie Pie! Tell the Princess!" He yelled, sorrow and regret filling his voice. I ran out of the room, leaving Bumble sobbing in his thoughts.

Chapter 11: Homicide
This song really fits the chapter.

I ran out of the room and in Starlight's room.
"Teleport me to Princess Celestia, its an emergency!" I yelled at her.
"Wh-what?" She asked, starting to stir.
"Ugh, fine." He horn glowed a deep blue. We were in Princess Celestia's throne room again.
"Stargazer! How did Crimson's date with Luna go?" She asked.
"Um, Bumble killed Pinkie Pie." I responded flatly. Her eye twitched.
"What? Bumble killed Pinkie Pie?" She asked.
"Yeah. He just tried to kill me at my house." I pointed to my bandages.
"He told me to come here and tell you." I said.
"Stay calm." She said.
"We will try to keep this a secret. Nopony must know that there is a killer in Ponyville." She said. There was a scream in the distance.
(Dammit! What is he doing this time?)
{Hurry Stargazer!}
I flew out of the window to see that the scream came from Sugarcube corner. I flew down.
{I believe Bumble said that Pinkie Pie was in the basement.}
I flew down to see Ms.Cake running out of the basement. She passed by and I went in. I walked down a flight of stairs and nearly screamed. Pinkie Pie was hanging there upside-down, with a Big X cut into her chest, blood dripping down.
"Hi, Stargazer." I turned around to see Bumble, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
"Time to finish what I've started." He said, arming his knife.
Goddammit.
He tried to slash me again, and I bucked him in the face, but this time, he got right back up.
"Snap out of it, dude! You are not a murderer!" I yelled. Suddenly, the door opened, and we turned to the door.
"Yes, I came down here and saw Pinkie Pie hanging upside down with a-" Ms.Cake was explaining to Mr.Cake. They stopped and looked at me and Bumble. They both screamed an ran out. While Bumble was distracted, I gave him a good ol' bitch slap in the face.
"Wake the fuck up man!" I yelled. He shook his head and looked around. He looked at the knife, and then over to Pinkie Pie. He dropped the knife and fell to his knees. He started sobbing.
"Stay here." I said. I was about to leave when he said,
"I don't want to be stuck in a room with the Pinkie Pie that I murdered." He pleaded.
"Fine. Stay behind me at all times." I told him. We walked back up the stairs, and then ran out of the building. Mr. and Ms. Cake were telling the Mayor everything. There was a crowd as well, and they turned to us.
(Oh, hell.)
"FLY!" I yelled to him. We took to the sky and flew away as fast as we could. Most of the pegasi flew up, and I saw Rainbow Dash in the front of the crowd, more pissed than ever.
"You-YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND!" She yelled at us. I looked over to Bumble.
"Get to somewhere safe, I'll hold them off!" I screamed at him. He nodded and sped off. I turned around, facing all of them.
"Come at me bros!" I screamed. Rainbow Dash came first, and sent me flying into the ground with one hard punch. But I quickly rose back up to face her, and uppercutted her stomach. She looked as if she was about to puke. I saw Derpy over in the crowd. She yelled at me,
"Why are you fighting us!? That pony is a killer!" She yelled.
"That pony is my FRIEND!" I yelled back, darting into the crowd. Something else came over me, as I felt myself getting stronger, faster, better. I could feel something inside me burst out, and I was glowing a dark blue. Nopony could lay a hoof on me, and they couldn't even open their eyes without being smashed in the face. There was only one that I avoided. Derpy.
{Angle 12! Strength 57! Force 83! Speed 154!}
(YEAH! WE ARE SO BADASS!)
What's happening?
[You're in Boost mode. Basically, your strength, speed, and accuracy triple.]
Damn!

{Indeed. But at the moment, we must protect Bumble!}
I was hitting them all. Most of them gave up and fell to the ground, while some others were more persistent. After a fury of punches and blows, they were all out except for Rainbow Dash. She looked furious.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" She screamed and charged at me. I dodged to the side and grabbed her tail. Big mistake, she bucked me in the face, and I let go of her tail. She charged at me head on, and smashed me through a tree.
(Damn, dude!)
I got up and dodged the revenge filled punch, and grabbed her arm, twisting it around. I let go and grabbed her face, smashing it into my knee. She had a very bloody nose, but she was only unconscious. Derpy stood there in fear, backing away if I even got close.
"I'm sorry." I told her, and flew in the direction that Bumble was headed.

Chapter 12: "New" friend

I flew over into a forest-like area, and found Bumble there, sleeping against a tree. Rainbow Dash gave me a few bruises. I sat against a tree way from him, and he looked up.
"Hey Bumble." I said. He looked up.
"Why did you save me? I deserve punishment." He said.
So tired...
(We feel ya, bro.)
"You're my friend." I said. He looked at me.
"And a murderer should of just left me." He said. I shook my head.
"That wasn't you when you murdered her and tried to kill me, also beating the guards." I replied. He looked confused.
"You know how Pinkie pie was killing ponies? And how her hair was straight, that was a different side of her. I'm guessing you have one too." I explained.
"So, like an evil side?" He asked. I nodded.
"So, Ponyville knows, and its going to spread to Canterlot, and then Manehattan." I explained.
We can't tell him what was going on with us and the Princess.
"What will happen when the Princess finds out?" I faked.
"Do you think the Princess knows?" Bumble asked. I shook my head.
"What are you hiding?" He asked.
(Cover's blown.)
I flew off, heading towards Canterlot as fast as my wings would let me. When I arrived, I went into the throne room, where she was busy discussing with Luna what they should do with Bumble. They looked up at me.
"Stargazer, we agreed we would keep this a secret." She said.
Okay, time to tell the truth.
"The truth is, I chased him after he recently tried to kill me again, but he got away." I lied.
"And why did everypony in town try to kill you, and you were fighting them?" She asked.
"They thought that I murdered Pinkie Pie as well." I lied again. Her eyes narrowed.
"Leave now." She ordered, and I walked out of the room.
{Stargazer, that was genius!}
I know how to trick the Princess. I just have to think of the lie as the truth, and not think he word, "lie."
(Well, we're safe, so, I'll give you that.)
As I was walking out of the castle, I saw a poster with Bumble's face on it. It said,
WANTED, 50,000 BITS, DEAD OR ALIVE.
I tore it off and flew back to the forest. I arrived to see Crimson talking to Bumble. I flew down and showed them the poster.
"You're wanted by the Princess, 50,000 bits." I said.
"Don't worry, I won't turn you in." I said.
"Same here." Crimson said.
"What now?" Bumble asked.
"Now we need to make you new." Crimson said, holding two cans of green and blue paint.
After a while, we painted him green, and his mane and tail green and blue.
"So, I'm new. That means I need new everything?" He said. We nodded.
"Okay, first, new name, how about Slim?" He asked.
"I think Vriu would be better." Crimson said.
"Okay, time for a new life." Vriu said, walking towards Ponyville.
Might as well apologize to Derpy.
I flew off, heading for Derpy's house.

When I arrived, I knocked on the door. It opened to a grey pegasus, with tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't say anything. She just stared into my eyes.
"Derpy, I'm sorry." I said.
"I know that I was protecting a killer, but he was my friend. When he killed Pinkie Pie, that wasn't him. I protected him even after he tried to kill me twice. I was only trying to be a good friend, and when I have a friend, I always protect or help them, even after they try to kill me. Be mad at me all you want, just know that if you ever wanted to kill me, I will be there to help. No matter how much pain you make me feel." I turned around and was about to walk away, when she put her hoof on my shoulder.
"Wait." She said.
"Hm?" I turned around, and she pulled me into a loving kiss. What lasted for only fifteen seconds felt like hours. She then broke it and said,
"I forgive you." She then pulled me into a tight hug.
(Looks like everything is in order, now please excuse me as I soak my brain in acid.)
[I think they are cute together.]
{It was meant to be.}
We hugged for about five minutes before she pulled away and said goodbye. I flew off towards my house.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I opened it to see "Vriu."
"Can I come in?" He asked.
"Sure." I said.
He came in and sat on the couch.
"Can I tell you what happened to me today?" He asked.
"Sure." I replied.
"Okay, so I saw this house made of clouds and wondered who lives there."
"Rainbow Dash."
"Yeah, and she let me inside because I told her that I was a fan of her. She told me about how Pinkie Pie was dead, and I hugged her to make her feel better. She then fell asleep on me, and I dragged her onto another cloud to see the sunset, and we kissed." He said.
"Wow. That practically just happened to me. I went to Derpy's house to apologize about helping you when you were running away. I was about to walk away, and then she just pulled me into a kiss." I explained.
"Wow, we have had one hell of a day." He said.
"Yeah." I looked at the time.
"It's getting late, you could go over to Rainbow Dash's place. I don't think she would mind if you slept there." I said. He chuckled.
"Yeah, see you later."
"See ya." I replied. A few minutes later, I was just about to get into bed, when a voice filled my head.
"Going to bed so soon, Stargazer? I think you still have a date with some alternate universes." It said. Then the same black flames encased me, and I woke up on soft grass.
Shit! Knowledge, help me out!
...
Knowledge?

Knowledge's point of view

I saw the black flames come up, and I was encased in them. I slowly got up from the floor of Stargazer's bedroom, where I looked just like Stargazer and three others.
"Um, what in the hell just happened?" Anger said.
"Why aren't we in Stargazer's head?" Peace said.
"Uh oh." Said Strength.
"I believe we have a problem, guys." I said, looking at the consciousnesses that escaped Stargazer's head.

Chapter 14: Death and Revival

TOTALLY FEELS THE SHIT GETS REAL CHAPTER

I splashed water on my face.
I have to get out of here.
"Hi Stargazer, want to play a game?" A familiar voice said. I turned to see Bumble, this time, holding a full-blown sword.
"*sigh* Not again." He swung the sword with all of his might, and I just barely dodged.
How in the hell did he break out of jail?
I took to the sky, Bumble following me. I flew directly into Princess Celestia's throne room, only to be greeted by a fat alicorn watching a TV and eating potato chips.
You've got to be kidding.
Bumble flew in and threw his sword at me, and I ducked. The Princess was unlucky, however. As the sword chopped her head clean off without her suspecting it. Blood sputtered everywhere including on Bumble as he grabbed the sword that was stuck in the wall. His yellow self was changed to blood red, and his wicked smile showed that he wasn't at all sane.
"You're next, Stargazer!" He screamed. I shot out of the room, and Bumble quickly followed, slashing and most likely killing anypony that got in his way.
"Oh fanboy~! Where did you- AHHH!" Stargazer II screamed as the sword went down his chest. He fell to the ground in pain.
Serves him right.
"Only one more idiot to go!" Bumble screamed behind me. He eventually caught up and swung his sword down. I whirled around and caught it. I then kicked him away, releasing his grasp on the sword. I ran away with the sword, and started to pick up speed. I saw the cone form around me once more.
"Oh no you don't!" Bumble yelled, his hooves wrapping around my legs. I slowed down, and the cone shot us backwards. I looked Bumble in the eyes. His murderous, hate-filled eyes.
"I'm sorry." I said, and slashed down with the sword on his arms. There was a deafening yell of pain as the pony's arms were cut clean off. He went flying up due to the momentum that I had towards the ground. The cone formed again, and I slowed down as The cone then shot me back up, increasing momentum. I thrusted the sword upwards, and it stabbed in the middle of Bumble's chest. Time seemed to slow down as I watched the sword go through his stomach. I killed my friend. His limp body plummeted toward the ground, and without the extra weight of the sword, I launched through the air, and boom. Everything went black just as last time. I woke up to be in my old room, with four of me standing above.
"Welcome back." They all said.
"Knowledge? Anger? Peace and Strength! I missed you guys so much!" We pulled into a group hug, while Anger looked as if he were about to puke.
*CRASH!*
We heard loud thunder as it was raining.
"Bumble is in trouble!" I exclaimed. We ran out the door and flew over to help. We spotted him being cornered by the mane 5 near Sweet Apple Acres.
We flew down and landed right in front of him. The mane 5 seemed shocked that there were five of me. I looked over at Bumble and winked.
"Y'know, I've had a crazy week. And when I met a rich, famous, don't forget to mention gay alternate self, I really had enough. If you want to hurt my friend just because his evil self took over only twice, then you will have to go through us." I said, glancing at all of my clones.
"I'll take care of Rainbow Dash." Anger said, cracking his neck.
"I'll take out Applejack." Strength said.
"I will engage Twilight and Rarity in a duel." Knowledge said.
"Fluttershy should be easy, right?" Peace said.
"I'll convince everypony that Bumble is innocent." I said.
"GO!" We all shouted at the same time. My four clones were about to meet their matches. I turned to everypony, who was panicking.
"EVERYPONY STOP!" I yelled at them. They all looked at me.
"Bumble is innocent!" I announced.
"Then why did he kill Pinkie Pie?!" Somepony yelled from the crowd.
"Self-defense!" I yelled back.
"Pinkie Pie was trying to kill Bumble, so he killed her before she could get to him!" I explained. I looked over at Bumble.
"Isn't that right, Bumble?" I asked.
"Yes it is!" He replied.
"Then why did he try to kill you?!" Somepony else called.
"He thought I would tell somepony and they would over react, so he made an attempt to kill me, until he realized what he had done."
"But Pinkie Pie is still dead!" The same one called out.
"And you can't change that! She-"
*SLASH!*
I very sharp pain hit my stomach. I looked down to see a knife sticking out of my stomach.
"I'm sorry Stargazer, but I need to accept my fate." Bumble said from behind me. I fell to my knees, and I looked over to see my clones starting to fade. They all then disappeared.
"Stargazer!" I heard Derpy yell. She ran up to me and hugged me, and my vision grew blurry. Bumble stood in front of the crowd.
"Kill me now." He said.
"N-No..." I mumbled. I fell to the floor, and all of the ponies rushed at him. Derpy was still at my side, tears flwing down her cheeks.
"D-Derpy... I-I... lo-ve... y..." I fell to the ground and everything went black.
"Stargazer, don't give up!" I heard a familiar voice say.
"L-Logan?" I said.
"Get up. You shouldn't die. Not yet."
(Get up.)
{Get up.}
[Get up.]

I saw a deep blue, and I slowly opened my eyes. That same blue aura was around me, the one that was around me when I was protecting Bumble. I slowly got up to see everypony beating the hell out of Bumble, and a sobbing Derpy. I looked at the knife that was sticking through my chest, and I grasped it. I slowly, slowly pulled it out and watched as the mark of it was healing itself at an incredible rate. I slowly walked over to the crowd, and they just looked at me. They were terrified. I didn't say anything as they froze to the sight that I had come back from the dead. I grabbed Bumble and flew away, nopony even daring to follow me.
"You're alive!" He said. I didn't say anything.
{You don't have enough power to talk, you need to regain your energy and focus on the task at hoof.}
On it.
I flew over to Sugarcube Corner, and walked inside and in the basement. It was pouring now, the rain getting my mane and tail very wet.
"Um, why are we here?" Bumble said. I didn't answer, didn't even look at him. I walked in the room where Pinkie Pie was hanging, and I touched her stomach. The aura spread over from me onto her. The X on her stomach quickly healed itself and she suddenly gasped for air.
"What? Who? Where?" She was looking around the room, and her mane and tail returned to their puffy style.
"Pinkie Pie!" Bumble ran over and hugged her.
{All of your energy is gone, we can't do it anymore.}
I fell to the ground, out cold.

Chapter 16: Party

I walked into Sugarcube Corner, and the lights were off. I smirked and had an idea. As fast as I could, I flew upstairs, and nopony could hear me. The lights turned on and I heard them all yell,
"SURPRISE!...What?" I heard Pinkie Pie walk up to Derpy and ask,
"Where is Stargazer?" I slightly flew, being very quiet, as everypony stared at Derpy, looking for answers. Even Vinyl Scratch walked away from her DJ station, and that is exactly what I wanted.
I turned the speaker on full blast and started blaring the music.
Everyony turned around, startled at the music, and I only yelled.
"So, are you just going to stand all night or what?" Everypony started laughing and dancing, but Pinkie Pie was freaked out. I walked up to her.
"What's wrong?" She shook her head and smiled.
"Nothing. It's just... how did you do that?"
"You're not the only impossible one around here."
"Also, thanks for bringing me back to life." She said. I turned back around.
"Why were you killing ponies? Why did you take advantage of my friend's hate to make him kill you, and then nearly kill me? Why did you make my friend's life nearly miserable?" I asked repeatedly. She stopped and stared. She looked down, obviously full of regret.
"I-I don't even know. The question is, why did you save me after all of that?" She asked.
"Because I betrayed someone before. I had made that one person so sad at what I did, but he just stayed there, with me. After all I had done, he still trusted me. That feeling of joy I had after all I had done, that feeling that someone still cares about you, it was great. I want everypony else to feel that way. Now come on. This is a party isn't it?" She perked up and went over to the dance floor.
(That sucked.)
You think everything sucks.
(Not this party.)
Fuck you.
I then saw Bumble approach the stage, microphone in hand, and Vinyl turned off the music.
"I want to sing a song dedicated to my best friend, Stargazer, and my marefriend, Rainbow Dash." He announced. I looked over at Rainbow Dash, who was smiling, and had a noticeably large stomach.
Wait, she's pregnant?
(Oh boy.)
{What a coincidence.}
Not really.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Changing songs. Please stand by...
________________________________________________________________________________________________
You see me soaring through the sky,
I see you below as you walk on by.
I could clear the sky in 10 second flat,
Well how about that? Well how about that?

I could be sitting here on a cloud,
watching the sun as it starts to go down.
The only thing missing,
is you by my side!

Give me a smidge of confidence.
Give me a speck of something that makes sense.
Give me an idea of dependency.
Give me a dash of loyalty!

I could save my lonely soul for you!
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through.
You can give your broken heart to me,
cause you know that i'll stay with you,
that's why they call me loyalty!

The sun shines bright, yet the rain pours on.
Rainbows here one minute, and then they're gone.
They remind me of me and you.
What did you do?
What did i do?

Determination in those eyes.
Where has it gone? Has it said goodbye?
A lot has happened,
but i'll stay by your side!

Give me a smidge of confidence.
Give me a speck of something that makes sense.
Give me an idea of dependency.
Give me a dash of loyalty!

I could save my lonely soul for you!
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through.
You can give your broken heart to me,
cause you know that i'll stay with you,
That's why they call me loyalty!

Time stands still when you're with me.
How can i make you see?
Your crazy antics make me want to scream.
Your name so loud till my throat starts to bleed!

I could save my lonely soul for you.
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through.
You can give your broken heart to me,
cause you know that i'll stay with you,
That's why they call me loyalty!

I could save my lonely soul for you!
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through.
You can give your broken heart to me,
cause you know that i'll stay with you,
That's why they call me loyalty!

I could save my lonely soul for you!
But the feeling in my heart can't follow through.
You can give your broken heart to me,
cause you know that i'll stay with you,
That's why they call me loyalty!

The song ended, and everypony cheered, especially me.
(What?! That wasn't even dedicated to us!)
{Yes it was. Think about it. Stargazer didn't abandon Bumble after he killed Pinkie Pie, and nearly tried to kill Stargazer twice. Thus, making him loyal.}

(Fine.)
Ready for another trip, Stargazer?
The black flames were forming yet again at my hooves.
Not this time!
I ran over to a wall and started smashing my head into it, hearing an "ow" every time I hit the wall. The flames started to cease, but weren't gone.
"Get...Out...Of...My...Head!" I yelled in between smashes against the wall. The flames below disappeared, and a black pegasus with red eyes formed in front of me. I turned to see him, but was dizzy and disoriented. He punched me, sendin me flying trough a window. He jumped out and pinned me to the ground.
"You are definitely starting to annoy me!" It yelled. It started chocking me to the point where I couldn't even see. I heard a loud THWANG! and I could breath. I was taking in heavy breaths of air, and looked up. There was a white pegasus with yellow stripes, and he had a black and red mane and tail. He was noticeably older than me, by about a few years or so. He was also a badass fighter, picking up the black pegasus and smashing him into walls. Even when he tried to get back up and grabbed him by the neck in an attempt to choke him, he would headbutt him, making him fall right back down. After a while, the dark pegasus accepted defeat, and disappeared into the shadows. The white pegasus walked over and helped me up.
"Hi there. My name is Lightning Streak, but you can call me lightning." He said.
"Thanks Lightning, you are one badass fighter." I replied. He chuckled.
"Are you hurt?" He asked.
"Oh, it takes more than a punch through a window to hurt me." I replied.
"Well, there is a party inside, waiting for you. If you want to hang out sometime, I live on the other side of that mountain over there." He pointed towards the mountain, and I nodded. We walked back in where the body was, and Derpy ran over.
"Are you hurt? What happened?" I lightly pushed her away.
"Nothing happened, Lightning Streak over here saved me. So, if there won't be anymore interruptions, let's continue the party." After that, everypony went back to the party and, to my surprise, I wasn't getting attacked for the rest of the night. After the party, I went home, fell in my bed, very exhausted, and drifted to sleep.

Split apart

Note: The OC Muffin is property of ultrasponge. This will also be quite a long chapter, tell me if all of them should be this long.

Chapter 17: Split apart

I woke up to the sound of a knock on my door. I got up and went downstairs, not caring how messy my mane was. I opened the door to reveal Rainbow Dash.
"Hey, Stargazer. Bumble and I were wondering if you can hang out today." She said.
(Dude! Do it!)
No. I need to spend time with Derpy.
"Sorry, I can't." She frowned.
"Oh, that's okay. Maybe some other time. I just wanted to know you more." She said, about to walk away.
Huh. She seems a bit depressed.
(Grrr...Fuck you! I'm out of here and hanging out with her on my own!)
{No, Anger! Don-}
They were gone.
Guys? Guys!
...
Goddammit!
I flew in the opposite direction that Rainbow Dash was heading, trying to find my separated consciousnesses.

Anger's point of view

I landed in some grass, with Stargazer's, or I should say my house in the distance.
"Finally out of that idiot's body again. Now to hang out with Rainbow Dash." I said out loud. I flew over my house, and saw Rainbow Dash flying in the distance. I gained on her, and got close enough to be able to talk to her.
"Hey Rainbow!" I said. She turned to me.
"Did you change your mind?" She asked.
"Heh. You could kinda say that." I chuckled. When we arrived at Rainbow's house, we walked inside. Bumble came over.
"Hey Stargazer! How have you been?" I punched his shoulder.
"Just fine, kid." I replied.
"Ow, that hurt." He whined. I scoffed.
"Pussy." I said. I walked in the kitchen and grabbed a few sandwiches and scarfed them down in seconds.
"Hey, who gave you permission to eat all of our food?" Bumble asked, walking in. I stood up and burped.
"I did. You got a problem with that?" I replied.
"Actually, I do." He said.
"Come on, he isn't so bad." Rainbow Dash walked in. I smirked, having an idea. I walked over to Rainbow Dash and kissed her on the cheek.
"You know it, baby." I said. She blushed and giggled. Bumble's eye twitched. Oh, I have a good idea alright.
"Hey Rainbow Dash, come with me." I said.
"Okay." She followed me in her bedroom. She looked at me on the bed, my legs stretched out.
"Ready?" I asked. She giggled.
"Why not?" She said. As she approached, the door flew open, and Bumble walked in. Perfect.
"Hey Rainbow Dash, can you-" He stopped at the sight of me about to have sex with Rainbow Dash. His eye twitched once more, and a wicked smiled danced onto his face. That was the entirely opposite effect I was looking for. He pulled out a random knife from nowhere and lunged at me. Fuck! I dodged to the side and ran out the door. Oh god, this was a mistake, I need to find Stargazer fast!

Knowledge's point of view

I fell on some grass, a considerable distance from Twilight Sparkle's house. I got up and wiped all of the dust off of my legs.
"Grrr... Why does Anger have to be a nincompoop? He knew that we would all get-" I stopped, as I had a sudden realization. Hm... I've always wanted to try some chemistry with Twilight, and knowing Stargazer, he probably wouldn't allow me to. I sighed. I'm going to regret this in a minute. I walked to the tree, and knocked on the door. I waited, no answer. I then facehoofed.
"Where is my head today? Twilight moved with Lance in Canterlot! I hope I can remember the exact location." I said out loud.

After at least ten minutes of searching, I finally found the house I was looking for. I knocked on the door, and Twilight opened it up. I bowed in respect.
"Good afternoon miss Sparkle. I would like to spend some of my spare time practicing chemistry with you." I said. She looked overjoyed.
"I would love to! Just let me get out my chemistry kit!" She ran off, finding her things. After a few more minutes of setting up, I asked her if she needed any help with any of the equations.
"Well, there is one that I haven't gotten perfect yet. It's the adrenaline potion. One sip could give you enough power to tear through a brick wall without a scratch." She explained, showing me the equation. I skimmed through it.
"Oh, what am I saying, you study the stars, not equa-"
"This is incorrect." I interrupted. I erased some parts of it, and filled them with more significant results.
"...thus, making the answer A to the power of 6, which multiplied by B multiplied by X to equal 72." I explained. She looked it over.
"I-I-I can't believe it!" She looked up at me, and I could identify a certain, uh, amount of love in her eyes. She leaned in close.
"Um, excuse me, but it appears you have violated my personal space." I said. She leaned in closer about to kiss me.
What would Stargazer do?
I grabbed her shoulders and slapped her twice in the face.
"Twilight! You are married, you have a foal, and yet you are flirting with me!" I yelled.
"Exactly."
What in the hell has gotten into these ponies?
Before I could stop her, she kissed me, and then the door opened.
"Hey Twilight, I'm back from our tr-" He stopped at the sight of me kissing Twilight, or, to be more precise, Twilight kissing me. I shoved her away, and she noticed Lance there. No doubt about it, Lance was pissed. His hooves started to light on fire, and I believed it was the same fire that teleported us twice. Incorrect, because he lunged at me, and I dodged to the side, running out of the door.
Gotta find Stargazer!

Peace's point of view

I landed on the floor of a house, inside what appeared to be a cottage.
"Angel, honey, what was that?" I heard a familiar, soft voice. Fluttershy gasped as soon as she saw me on the floor.
"Are you okay, Stargazer?" She asked, trying to pick me up, but failed because she wasn't strong enough to lift me. I brought myself up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said. I looked around and gasped. All the animals! All the love! I've always wanted to be surrounded by animals, and I've always wanted to take care of them. I saw Fluttershy, who noticed that I was excited.
"Do you like animals?" She asked.
"Of course I do!" I replied.
"Oh! That's wonderful! I can give you some food so you can feed them! I'll be back!" She left the room. I looked over at two squirrels, and they appeared to be beating the crap out of each other.
"Whoa! Whoa, guys. Why are you fighting?" The one squirrel held an acorn and pointed at the other one, and pretended as if he snatched it up and ate it.
"Okay, so he ate one of your acorns when it was yours?" He nodded. I grabbed an acorn from the other pile, and put it in his. The other squirrel, the one that I took from, got mad.
"Stop it you two. You need to learn how to share. You should offer each other your acorns instead of keeping them to yourselves." I explained. They looked at each other, and shook paws. After a few minutes of sitting far away from each other, one of them finally offered one of his acorns to the other. They became friends. I chuckled, and heard Fluttershy walk back in, carrying a ton of food. She gasped, seeing the squirrels become friends.
"What?! They have been fighting for three days! How did you..." She started. She trailed off, looking into my eyes. There was a strange look in her eyes. I gulped. As soon as I saw any form of love, I kind of flip out, especially when it is on me. I ran out of the cottage, and Anger would agree, like a pussy. I was running to find Stargazer.

Strength's point of view

I landed on my hooves, like a boss. I looked around, Sweet Apple Acres. I've always wanted to hang out with Applejack. I knocked on the barn door, and it opened to reveal Applejack.
Hm, Stargazer should be able to get us out of trouble if I flirt with her.
"Hey, can I help you around the barn?" I asked.
"Why sure! You can buck those trees over the-" Before she finished her sentence, I sped over to the trees, and started bucking the shit out of them. With one of them, my hooves went through the tree.
I hope she didn't need that.
I decided to kick it up a notch. I flew up into the sky as fast as I could, and shot down even faster. The cone formed, and I heard the boom. I turned up, to an angle where I could punch the trees from the side at an incredible rate. Every time I punched a tree, all of the apples fell, and I cleared an entire field in seconds. I accidentally flew into an astonished Applejack, and I was on top of her in a, well, a position. I smirked and brought her closer for a kiss. She pushed me off.
"Whoa there, sugarcube." I chuckled. I heard a snort behind me, and I turned to see an angry Big Macintosh.
"What do ya think you're doin' with my sister?" He asked. I gulped.
"Uh, maybe, can I simply walk away without a beating?" I nearly yelped.
"Nnnnnnnope."
"That's what I thought." I shot upwards and uppercutted an unsuspecting Big Mac. I flew off to find Stargazer, Big Macintosh close behind.

Stargazer's point of view

I sped off to the mountain that Lightning Streak pointed to. I expected a simple house, but instead, found a cloud house, like Rainbow Dash's. Only it was made of thunder clouds. I knocked on the door, and it opened to reveal Thunder Streak.
"What's up?"
"My consciousnesses split apart." I simply said. He laughed.
"Oh, that is a good one." He said.
"I'm not kidding! I was sent to another dimension where I was introduced to these four consciousnesses that are in my head. When I was sent to another universe, they took form and then came back to my head when I died. Now they did it again, but I can't find them!" I explained. He chuckled again.
"Yeah, right. You were sent to two different universes, got four voices in your head, and they magically split apart, and you died. I'm sure that's what's going on." He sarcastically stated. I heard a loud boom, and saw an all-too-familiar streak that looked like the night sky. I turned back to Lightning.
"I'll prove it. Come with me!" I commanded. He chuckled, yet again.
"I don't want to be part of this, but whatever." He said. We flew off towards the boom, when we saw a blue figure pass by.
"He didn't see us!" I said.
"I couldn't see him. What happened?" He asked. I flew off, trying to catch up.
"Hey! I want some answers!" Lightning yelled after me.

When I finally caught up, we all ran into each other, five of us, colliding, in town square. When all of my clones came into contact, they disappeared back into my head.
(Jesus!)
{Never again will I attempt to become friends with Twilight.}
[I don't want to mate!]

Wait, what?
Lightning caught up, and so did everypony else. Lance, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Bumble, Big Mac, Applejack, and Fluttershy came out, pretty much all of the females looked as if they loved me except for Applejack, while all of the guys looked as if they wanted to kill me. Even Bumble had his traditional knife and crazed smile.
What the fuck did you guys do?
(I was flirting with RD, and then Bumble snapped.)
{I helped Twilight with an equation, but apparently, the answer was love? It can't be...}
[I was helping Fluttershy with the animals, and she suddenly wanted to love me.]

You are going to PAY for this, idiots.
"I can explain!" They all stopped.
"I have four consciousnesses!"
...
"Very funny, Stargazer! Why were you flirting with my wife?!" Lance yelled.
"Hey everypony, let's play a game! It's called, 'Cut off Stargazer's skin and feed it to rabbid gerbils'!" Bumble suggested, still looking crazy as ever.
"Watch!" I yelled.
Do it, guys.
{This time, Anger, focus on appearing in front of Stargazer.}
(Okay.)
There was a flash of blue light, and the other four of me appeared, all looking a bit terrified.
"Whoa." Lightning said.
"See, my consciousnesses were jerking off, and so they ended up flirting with all of you." I explained. Everypony looked very confused, and my consciousnesses walked up to the others.
Knowledge went to Lance and just, well, apologized.
"I apologize." He held out his hoof, and Lance reassuringly shook it.
"Sorry. I don't want to flirt with anypony at the moment." Peace said to Fluttershy. She looked down and walked away. Strength walked up to Bic Mac.
"Sorry." He held out his hoof. Big Mac punched him in the face so hard, I just barely dodged him when he went flying towards me.
"Apology accepted." He said, and walked away with Applejack. Anger walked up, smacked Bumble twice, and walked back to me.
"What happened?" He asked, sounding a bit confused. He then fainted, where Rainbow Dash caught him and brought him home.
"So, Lightning," I turned to an astonished Lightning Streak."What do you think of my consciousnesses? Anger, Knowledge, Peace, and Strength." I pointed to all of them. Lightning's eye twitched, he was definitely astonished.
"I need a nap." He said, walking away.
"Okay, guys, come back in." They went back in my head.
(What a day!)
Yeah, well, this is one of the worst days of my life.
I was about to walk away when something crashed into me, sending me to the floor.
"Oh! I am so sorry, dude." He said, pulling me up. He wore a white suit that fit his white coat, and he had a red mane and tail, and he was wearing sunglasses. He was an earth pony.
"Wait, how could you fly into me if you don't have wings?" I asked.
"Well, I launched myself from that catapult over there." He pointed over behind him.
"What was with all of the clones standing with you?" He asked. I sighed.
"I don't want to explain." I said.
"No, I want answers." He said.
"As I said, no. Besides, what is your name?" I asked.
"My name is Muffin. I am Derpy's fault." He replied.
(What?)
"What?" I asked.
"Don't ask questions." He said.
"Well, my name is Stargazer, and I am Derpy's coltfriend." I said.
"Huh. Well, if you want to hang out sometime, my house is right there." He pointed to another small mountain in the distance. His house was sitting on top of it.
"Okay, I'll see you later, Muffin." I said, and I walked away. I went back home, grabbed my mailbag, and started my regular day with Derpy.

Engagement

Chapter 18: Muffin making

I got my weekly payment and finally got at least 5,000 bits. I went to the Carousel Boutique and knocked on the door. Rarity opened it up.
"Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, how can I help you?" Rarity asked.
"Do you sell engagement bracelets of any sort?" I asked.
"Oh, who's the special somepony?" She asked. I blushed.
"Uh, Derpy Hooves." I replied. She looked a bit shocked.
"I've always seen her as a bit of a..." She trailed off.
"Idiot?" I finished, frowning.
"Yes- No! No, she's, uh..." She trailed off again. I sighed.
"Do you have engagement bracelets or not?" I asked.
"Oh, of course! Come in, let me show you some." I followed her in.
"I have silver ones with rubies on them, gold with sapphire, bronze with diamonds..." She went on as I skimmed through the assortment of bracelets.
"Wait." I saw a silver one with a Topaz jewel in the middle.
"That one." She looked over at it.
"You know, darling, that is very pricey." She said.
"How much?"
"3000 bits." She replied.
"Are you serious? I have 5000!" I said. I gave her the bits and she gave me the bracelet along with the case.
"Thank you." I said, and walked out of the door, towards Sugarcube Corner. I walked in to be greeted by the bouncing pink wonder, Pinkie Pie.
"Hi! Welcome to Sugarcube Corner! Oh, what's that? Some kind of case for a present? Does it have to do with a party? Oh! I know! We should throw another party! One with-" I covered her mouth.
"The first party was fine, Pinkie. I actually want to know how to make muffins." I said. She nodded, and I took my hoof away from her mouth.
"Follow me!" She bounded into the kitchen happily, ready to make some muffins.
"Okay, first, you need the recipe." She said.
"Can I make my own?" I asked, looking through all of the materials to make the muffins.
"Sure! I'll help with the amount of each ingredient, you just write down what you want in it!" She said. She grabbed a peice of paper and a pen and brought it to me. I wrote down all of Derpy's favorite foods, blueberry, razzleberry, strawberry, fizzleberry, and a lot more. Fizzleberries were a problem, though.
"Oooh, you want fizzleberries? Those are pretty rare, and they are deep in the everfree forest." Pinkie Pie explained.
"What do they look like?" I asked.
"They are bright yellow, and they usually grow in packs." She explained.
"I'll be back." I dashed out of the building, heading to the forest as fast as I could. Time was running out, and I need to do this tonight.
{Don't rush, you might miss some of them.}
Ah, thought you would never speak up after the incident.
(Don't wanna talk about it.)
I flew into the everfree forest, as the fear and doubt started to rush over me. I shook my head and walked inside the forest, with the thick canopy above. I could hear strange sounds, like a ghost, but much more...terrifying.
(How do you know what a ghost sounds like?)
Shut up.
After about thirty minutes of looking, I finally found a patch of the yellow berries. I picked them all, about six of them, about twenty of them should be enough. I flew directly up, and looked around. I saw Ponyville in the distance, and sped towards it. I walked back inside of Sugarcube Corner, and Pinkie Pie had already gotten the ingredients together.
"You have them? Good! Now give me them." She ordered. I gave her the berries, and she mixed them all up, including some sugar and flour, and popped them in the oven.
"I'll only make one, we need some of these berries, and you grabbed a ton of fizzleberries. I'm sure we could use them!" Pinkie said.
"One is perfect." I said. I looked out the window. Sunset.
"Hey Pinkie, remember the party you were talking about? Let's get it set up." I said. She jumped with joy, and brought out a pink cannon. She pulled the string, and balloons and confetti shot from it, and landed themselves in perfect spots on the walls and tables.
"Nice touch." I said.
"I'll invite everypony!" Pinkie Pie said. With that, she shot out of the door. I followed, but split up as I went to Derpy's. I kept the bracelet out of view as I knocked on the door. She opened it and smiled.
"Hi Stargazer! Is there something wrong?" She asked.
"Follow me." I said. She told Dinky that she was leaving, and we went to Sugarcube Corner. Everypony was already there.
(Holy fuck! That mare can rack up a crowd fast!)
{Wait, that isn't even possible! How did she-}
Don't question her methods.
"Uh, Stargazer, didn't we have a party a few days ago?" Derpy asked.
"Yes, but this one is special." I said.
"Well, I don't care!" She replied. She started dancing to the song that was playing. I went up to Pinkie.
"Is it ready?" I asked.
"Three, two, one..." A ding was heard from the kitchen.
"Done!" She dragged me into the kitchen, and I took the muffin out, having it cool down. After it was cool, I walked out of the room, and walked up to Derpy.
"Okay, Derpy, this is important." I said.
"Okay." She said. Everypony snapped to attention towards us, and I felt, well, worried.
"How do I do this... Okay. Derpy, I always thought you were different. I never believed a]what anypony said about you being an idiot, or you not being allowed to do something just because of your eyes. Those eyes, those beautiful eyes, means that you are special. Not a wall-eyed freak. I realize that you had a special somepony that died, and I know it was unbearable. I also know that you are only necessarily happy when you are around me, as news from Dinky, but that's not the point. The point is, I love you. Nothing will change that, not even the fact that I might be treated like dirt just because I am friends with a pony that is supposedly 'retarded'. So, on that note," I opened the case, revealing the bracelet. "Will you marry me?" She was in a state of what looked like pure happiness, with a tear forming in her eye.
This is so...so beautiful!
"Yes." She said. I smiled.
(And, against all odds, Stargazer got the girl that he is madly in love with!)
What do you mean, 'against all odds'?
I put the bracelet on her hoof, and leaned in for a kiss. Everypony in the crowd "Dawwwwwwwwwww'd" and Vinyl started playing slow, romantic music.
"I made a muffin for you, too." I said after we pulled each other apart. I went into the kitchen and handed(hoofed? heh, see what I did there?) her muffin. She took a bite out of it, chewing slowly.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"It's the best muffin I have ever-" She froze.
"Derpy?" She fell on the ground, in a state of shock.
Oh god!
"Somepony call 911!" Somepony from the crowd yelled. What only lasted for a few minutes of waiting for an ambulance to arrive felt like days to me, watching the love of my life tremble on the ground in a state of shock.

Hangin' with Dinky

...cough...

Chapter 19: Hangin' with Dinky

I sat in the lobby of the hospital, wondering what I messed up.
{She should be fine.}
What if she isn't! What if she's dead! I wouldn't be able to live myself if I killed somepony, especially Derpy.
(Dude, you killed Bumble in that alternate universe, remember?)
I thought back to the time, when I cut Bumble's arms off, and then stabbed a sword right through his chest.
Yeah, I remember...
The doctor walked out and looked at his papers, and back to me.
"Are you patient Derpy's husband?" He asked.
"About to be." I replied.
"Well, too bad, because she's dead." He replied. I put my face in my hooves, trying to hold back tears for as long as I could. I then heard a hearty laugh, and looked up at the doctor.
"Nah, I'm just pulling your leg. She wants to see you." He said.
"Thank Celestia. Next time you do that, I swear, I'll rip your throat out." I said, getting up. He chuckled.
"She's fine, she just had a small dose of poison, that's all. She is still weak, as the poison has affected her muscles greatly, and she won't be out for a week or so. Other than that, she's perfectly fine." He explained as we walked down the hallway. We arrived, and walked inside.
"Miss Hooves, we brought you Stargazer, like you asked." The doctor said, letting me in. I walked over and she just smiled.
"Hi." She said weakly. I hugged her, trying to hold back tears yet again.
(Oh, boo-hoo, she's in the hospital. Bog whoop.)
I swear to god, Anger.
"How are you feeling?" I asked after she let go of the embrace.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired is all." She replied.
"The doctor said you will be in here for about a week or two. You'll be fine." I told her.
"What was in that muffin?" I looked at her.
"Um, a lot of berries, including those rare ones from the Everfree Forest." I said.
"The fizzleberries?" She said.
"Yeah. Pinkie said they were really good." She shook her head.
"You probably grabbed ones that weren't ripe." She said.
"Fizzleberries that aren't ripe are poisonous, and that's why I'm sick." She explained.
"Uh, miss Hooves?" The doctor said, still in the room. "You really need to rest to get your strength back." He said. Derpy turned to me.
"While I'm here, take care of Dinky." She said.
"Okay. See you in a week or so." I said.
"Bye." And with that, I left. I flew out of the hospital and landed at Derpy's house. I knocked on the door, and Dinky opened it. She looked around.
"Where's mom?" She asked.
"Um, she's in the hospital right now, and she told me to take care of you in the meantime." I explained.
"Why is she in the hospital!?" She asked.
"Uh, I fed her a poisonous muffin on accident." I said.
(Man, she's gonna hate you a whole lot more now.)
"Okay, come in." She said. I walked inside of the familiar house, a small cramped one that didn't have very many rooms. The sun was just coming up.
"Why aren't you in bed?" I asked.
"I was, until it was disturbed by somepony who poisoned my mother." She said.
"Oh..."
"Well, I'm off to school. I'll be back at around 3:00." She said. She grabbed her saddlebag and left.
What do you guys think I should do?
(Kill Pinkie Pie.)
...
(...What? She didn't tell us about the ripe berries!)
[Maybe we can visit Bumble's house?]
{Last time I heard, they went skiing.}
Rainbow Dash didn't go.

{Then its settled.}
(Awww yeah! Any time with Rainbow Dash would be to die for!)
...
(...What? I would have tapped her first if it wasn't for Bumble!)
You are probably the worst out of all four of you.
(You're right. Knowledge is totally the worst.)
{Incorrect, as you obviously have a lower IQ than me.}
(That just makes you a nerd. Right Stargazer?)
Don't bring me into this.

It always seems that you are the only two that argues.
I walked out of the door and flew for Rainbow Dash's house, when I saw Dinky running back towards the house.
"Stargazer! Get down here!" She yelled. I flew down.
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"Heat!"
"What?"
"Heat! When all of the mares let their hormones take over and they rape any stallion they see!"
This kid shouldn't be learning this stuff.
(I still don't like her. She knows too much.)
I looked up to see a sky blue blur go flying into me, and I was tackled to the ground.
"YOU'RE MINE!" She yelled in my face.
Oh god, Dinky's right.

Strength took over, and I punched Rainbow Dash off of me. I ran towards the house, where Dinky was yelling for me to get inside.
"Not so fast!" Rainbow yelled after me. She tackled me again, pinning me to the ground. She started licking my chest.
"What the fu- HELP!" I screamed. A white pony tackled her off, it was muffin.
"Get inside, I'll follow!" He yelled. I ran to the house and got inside. Muffin ran from Rainbow Dash and got in at the last second. Dinky already barricaded the windows and the door after we got in.
"Wait. We need to save all of the other stallions." I said.
"They skipped town, except for Lightning." Muffin said.
"Even miss Cherilee was affected, and started to go crazy." Dinky said. We then heard screaming in the distance, getting closer and closer.
"Let me in! Please, let me in!" Lightning could be heard from outside. Dinky unbolted the door with her magic, and Lighning ran inside, already covered with cum. He was panting hard, catching his breath.
"Oh god, you do not want to be raped by Twilight. She uses her magic as an 'advantage'.
(This. Is. AWESOME!)
{What?! We nearly got raped out there!}
(Too bad, I'm going in!)
Anger formed in front of me, and started tearing through the bolts. Dinky rubbed her eyes.
"Is that a clone of you standing in front of me?" She asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." I replied. He soon enough teared through all of the bolts, and ran outside, where all of the mares were waiting.
"Come at me!" He yelled. After a second or two, his confident voice was filled with his own screeches as he regretted his decision.
"Help me!" He yelled.
"Sorry dude, this was your decision." I said.
"If I lose my virginity, you lose yours!" He yelled. I snapped into reality.
{That...makes too much sense to even try to prove it wrong.}
I opened the door and there were, what? 20 mares trying to get at him?" I grabbed his forelegs that were sticking out from the crowd and pulled him in.
"Thanks." He disappeared and was back in my head.
"How long does this last?" I asked Dinky.
"Three days." She said. I never knew what heat was because my house was about a mile away from Ponyville. I sighed, ready to take on the next three days.

Chapter 20: Heat: Day 1

After Anger was back in my head, we decided to stay for a while and wait until all of the mares were gone. We waited for about two hours in silence, until Lightning spoke up.
"Do you think they are still there?"
"I'll go check." I said. I walked up to one of the windows and pulled the curtain back to see eight mares smiling ear to ear. I closed the curtain.
"Nope." I said. He groaned.
"We have to get out of here!"
"What if... we went to your house, Stargazer?" Muffin said.
"Yeah, that makes sense. You live a mile away, after all." Lightning said.
"I can teleport you out, but you have to run immediately." Dinky said, and her horn glowed.
"Wait! We don't even have a-" The light flashed, and we were right outside of the house, where all of the mares turned to us, grinning.
"...plan." I finished. They all rushed towards us.
"RUN!" Muffin screamed. We ran away, a bunch of lustful mares on our tail. Lightning looked back and shot volts from one of his hooves, hitting a couple of the mares.
"Since when could you do that?!" I yelled.
"Ever since I was born!" He yelled back. He shot more lightning at them, but to no avail, as Twilight formed a magic bubble around the mares. His shot bounced off and hit Lightning himself, and he fell to the ground for a second.
"Help!" He yelled.
"Every stallion for themselves!" I yelled, and ran away.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THI-" His voice was muffled as a bunch of mares covered him. We ran down an alley, panting.

Lightning's point of view

I felt the volts surge through me. While I was adapted to them, I could still fell some pain. I fell on the ground.
"Help!" I called out. Stargazer didn't even hesitate and ran off with Muffin.
"Every stallion for themselves!" He screamed. He's leaving me! He doesn't even care!
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" I yelled at him, but he was far from sight, and the mares covered me.
"Now now, ladies, don't be so rough..." I started.
"Oh, we won't be rough." One of them said, obviously being sarcastic.
"Excuse me, why does this happen? I mean, you are all on a rape spree. Seriously?" I said.
"It happens, now mount me!" Another one said.
"No!" I shot towards the air, only to be tackled by Rainbow Dash. She pinned me to the ground.
"I'm going first!" She declared. My eyes widened. When we started only a few minutes ago, it was not pretty. Before she could even lean close to my, *cough* private areas, I punched her in the face, sending a shock through her body. She let go, and I got up.
"Who wants to be next to be shocked with at least 1000 volts of electricity?" I asked. It didn't matter though, as all of them tried to run up and get at least one touch of my, *cough* private parts, or even grab me anywhere, for that matter. After a while, I gave up and shot through the air, Rainbow Dash was knocked out, and the rest of the pegasi were too slow. I headed for Stargazer's house, but it would take a while. I landed behind a building, as I saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna with a lot of other mares roaming through central Ponyville.
Think of a plan, fast.
An idea snapped in my head. I flew up towards the sky, hoping they wouldn't notice me. I perched on top of a cloud, not a mare in sight.
Perfect. All I have to do is get across these clouds without being seen.
I jumped from cloud to cloud, nopony from the ground could see me.
So far, so goo-
"Hey." I jumped back, and saw Spitfire sitting on the edge of the cloud with me.
"I've always wanted to get to know you, and always thought that, you are pretty big, and strong..." She was circling around me.
"...and now I have you all to myself. Nopony interrupting, nopony taking you away, just the two of us." She came closer, and I backed away, nearing the edge of the cloud.
"All to yourself eh?" I looked down. "Fuck that." I dive bombed backwards off of the cloud.
"No!" She cried, and I fell until I heard somepony scream,
"STALLION!" A opened my wings and flew as fast as I could to Stargazer's house. I was wrapped in a strong, pink light, and I planned for that.
Play it cool, act like you're caught.
"Goddammit!" I yelled, getting pulled towards Princess Celestia, a lustful smile drawing on her face.
"Any last words, Lightning Streak?" She asked. I kept quiet.
"No? Then prepare for the foal-making!" Just as she took her magic away to come onto contact with me, I sent, eh, roughly 3000 volts of electricity, just to make sure. While Luna tended to her big sister, now fainted, the Sun kinda... sped up. It took about 2 minutes to make it reach nightfall. So, survived day one, two days to go.

Stargazer's point of view

We went down the alley, catching our breath.
"Dude, I think I'm in trouble." I told Muffin.
"Why?" He asked.
"I left Lightning to die." I responded. He chuckled.
"Well. no use hiding, it looks like he escaped." Muffin said. It was true. Lightning could be seen flying towards Ponyville square.
"We need to get to my house." I reminded.
"Looks like Lightning has gone that way, think we should take a detour?" Muffin suggested.
"Sure." I responded. I looked around to check if the coast was clear, and for the most part, it was. We slowly went in the opposite direction of Ponyville square. Luckily, we weren't caught, and was outside of Ponyville in no time. I brohoofed Muffin in victory.
"Oh, I KNEW one if them would could come around this way!" We heard a familiar, cheerful voice say. We turned around to see Pinkie Pie.
"Oh, but there are two of them! Let's see, eeny, meeny, YOU'RE MINEY!" She tackled me first. Of course, me. She didn't hesitate as she sucked on my dick. Yes, I totally said that. I kicked her off.
"Goddammit!" I yelled.
"What? Am I too rough? That's what I thought! I'm not done either!" She lunged at me again, but I dodged her and took to the sky.
"Wait! I can't fly!" Muffin yelled. I looked down.
"I'm baaack!~" said a familiar voice. Rainbow Dash was back up, and looked a lot more lustful than ever.
"Oh god!"
(Get outta there!)
I flew up into the clouds, and could see a figure plummeting in the distance.
What the fu-
{LOOK OUT!}
Rainbow Dash tackled me and launched me into the ground, leaving a small crater. I headbutted her before she could do anything else. But instead of looking as if she was knocked out it was almost as if she was sleeping on my shoulder. cuddling. With me. I got up, only to see the sun go below the horizon in seconds.
This day gets weirder and weirder.

Chapter 21: Heat: Day 2

Muffin's point of view

Pinkie Pie pinned me on the ground, and I was about to yell for Stargazer to help, until he was tackled by Rainbow Dash.
Well, we're fucked.
I turned to Pinkie, who was busy licking most of my body parts, until she kissed me. I didn't know what to do, I don't have any powers, I can't fly, and all of my friends were probably being raped. She broke the kiss and smiled.
"Just to make sure, you aren't Muffin, right? Derpy's fault?" She asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"Well, she's sick, so the author, I think his name is Burritoburger or something, is in control. She looked up into the sky.
"Don't you even think about not letting me have him!" She yelled towards the sky. I looked around.
"Who are you talking to?" I asked.
"The author!" She replied.
"Who?"
"It doesn't matter. Let's finish this, shall we?" She said. She was about to lean in for another kiss, until a dragon-like pony tackled her. He was dark green with bright blue stripes, blue horns, and green dragon wings.
"Go! I'll be there soon!" He commanded. I ran off, and I could hear Pinkie yell.
"I'M GOING TO GET YOU FOR THIS AUTHOR!"
I ran behind the wall of an abandoned and ruined building, and saw the dragon-pony hybrid come around the corner.
"Thanks for saving me, man." I said.
"All in a day's work." He replied, panting.
"Anyway, what is your name?" I asked.
"Draco." He said.
"My name is Muffin." I replied, and shook his hoof.
"It is quite a pleasure to meet you, uh, Muffin." He said. He looked around the corner.
"Do you know of any location that would be safer than here?" Draco asked.
"Well, I have a friend named Stargazer, and we planned on going to his house, since it is a mile away from here." I explained. Suddenly, the sun went down in a matter of seconds, and it was pitch-black.
"Good enough for me, lead the way." He said. I continued off in the direction of Stargazer's house.

Lightning's point of view

After it was nighttime, I went around the corner of a building. It was too dark for anypony to see me, and I looked around for a safe route. Stargazer showed me to his house one time, but I have never been in this part of Ponyville before. It was to the left of town square, near where cloudsdale was.
Cloudsdale! Spitfire came down here, so why not all of the others?
I looked around the street that was lit with some dim streetlights, and I noticed a bit of an overdose of pegasi wandering around, a few of them familiar from Cloudsdale.
Its settled, then. Cloudsdale, here I come.
I flew up out of sight towards the city made of clouds. As soon as I got up there, a pair of hooves dragged me in a building, and I freaked out, ready for the rape that was coming. Instead, it was Soarin of the Wonderbolts.
"What are you doing here?! Don't you realize that loads of particular mares, especially Fluttershy are up here?!" He whispered.
"I thought it would be safe." I replied.
"Well, you're wrong, and they know that you are here, they just don't want you to know it." He said.
"Oh come on. That's-" I was interrupted by a tackle from a pegasus I didn't know, but she was tackled off of me from Fluttershy.
"I told you he's MINE!" She screamed at her.
"RUN!" Soarin said, running off of the cloud. Fluttershy got off of the pony and turned to me.
"Now, I need somepony to take care of me after all of that... hard work in taking care of my animals." She licked her lips.
"And I think you are just right for the job." She lunged towards me, but I dodged to the side.
"Fluttershy! I do not want to hurt you!" I said.
"Then we understand each other. Now be a good boy, and let me taste your-" I punched her in the face before she could finish her sentence. I flew away, and knowing she isn't a fast flier, I flew out of Cloudsdale fast. A few of them actually caught up though, and started to drag me down. I quickly kicked each of them off, though. As the sun was still out of whack, it was accelerating the days, so this heat will last longer. The sun started to rise again, and then slowed down.
Having to go through an entire day? Should be fine.
I flew as fast as I could, and could finally see Stargazer's house in the distance. An idea pooped in my head, and I smirked. I flew over to Ponyville and yelled,
"COME AND GET ME!" Everypony that heard me flew up to try and catch me. Perfect. I flew off towards Stargazer's house, where Stargazer and Muffin were inside already. I got in and closed the door, and they didn't even notice all of the mares in Ponyville flying towards the house.
"Hey! Lightning!" Stargazer walked up to me.
"No hard feelings right?" He held out his hoof and I smirked. I shook it, and them threw him outside, where all of the mares were waiting.
"Hey, what the fuck!" He yelled.
"PAYBACK BITCH!" I yelled back. I closed the door shut as he screamed with pain.
"Now starting day 3 of the heat with a bang." Muffin chuckled.
"He deserved it, he left me!" I said. A dark green pony/dragon with blue stripes walked in the room. He had dragon wings and dragon eyes.
"Who is this?" I asked, pointing to the peculiar pony. He shook my hoof.
"You may refer to me as Draco." He said.
"Yeah, he totally saved me from getting raped by Pinkie Pie." Muffin said.
"Oh. Well, my name is Lightning Streak, but you can call me Lightning." I said.
"A pleasure to meet you, Lightning. Now, may I ask, where is Stargazer?" Draco asked.
"Oh, I threw him out in with the crowd of mares." I said.
"WHAT?!" He ran out into the crowd. A few minutes later, he came back with trembling, cum covered Stargazer. Draco placed him down and closed the door. He looked at me as if I was crazy.
"What? He left me back there with twenty of them!" I said.
"And you left him with fifty. I can already tell you are going to be his best friend." He said sarcastically, and walked away.
Oh, great. Now I feel guilty.
I walked over to Stargazer, who was curled up in a ball on the floor, trembling.
"Look. I'm sorry I did that. But I told you that I would get back at you. And yet, that was really stupid of me." I said. He looked at me, and then glanced around the living room in fear. He didn't say anything, and only curled up into an even more compact ball. I sighed, and Draco came back in the room, holding a washcloth. He gave it to Stargazer, that is, attempted to give it to Stargazer, but he didn't even notice it. Draco sighed, and wiped Stargazer off himself. After he was all clean, he was still a little freaked out, but at least he could talk.
"They did so...many...horrible... oh god, I'm going to throw up." He said. Draco kicked a bucket over, and he threw up a white liquid. After he was done, he wiped his mouth.
"And I bet you all know what the hell I just upchucked." He said. This went for hours, and Stargazer finally started to relax, as we told one another on the things we did on our own. It was now midday, which means we only have twelve more hours to go. Suddenly, a bright flash filled the room, and both of the Princesses appeared.
"Oh shit!" Stargazer yelled, and jumped out a random window. Princess Celestia tackled Muffin, and Luna looked as if she was interested in Draco. I bucked both of them in the face before they could even think about what area to start on first, and we all jumped out the window, running away from every pony in Ponyville, and even the Princesses.

Chapter 22: Heat: Day 3

Stargazer's point of view for the rest of the chapter.

When the Princesses teleported in, I knew we were screwed, so I used the only reaction I could think of.
"Oh shit!" I yelled, and jumped out the window. I was flying away, and I looked back. The rest of the gang jumped out and were racing after me. We all ran behind a building and Lightning shot, well, lightning, while Draco was breathing fire. Wait, FIRE?!
(BADASS!)
{Why do we end up meeting the strangest of ponies?}
"Oh, come on! I don't get a power, and I don't even have wings or a horn!" He then looked up and smirked.
"Oh, right." He disappeared all of a sudden, and my jaw dropped.
"Okay, tweaks here and there..." I heard Muffin from above say.
"What in the hell are you doing, Muffin!?" Lightning yelled.
"Di-did you just-"
"Break the fourth wall? Yes." Muffin interrupted Draco. A second later, a wall was formed in between us and the mares.
"Oh crap! Security is coming! I only have time for one more thing!" Muffin panicked.
"Teleport us out!" I yelled up. A few seconds later, he reappeared. He looked down at his peculiar boots and laughed.
"Finally! Got myself some rocket boots!" I facehoofed.
"You were supposed to get us away from here!" I said.
"Hey, rocket boots are important." He replied.
"How?!" I asked him.
"Bitches love rocket boots." He replied. I facehoofed again.
"At least the barrier has appeared." Draco said.
"Now, we must flee to yet another safer place." We nodded and ran off. In the middle of it, something popped in my head.
"Hey! Where's Bumble?" I asked.
"He went on a ski trip. He should be back soon." Lightning replied.
"Wait! Over there!" Muffin yelled. He pointed to the Everfree forest. We ran in and took cover. The swarm of mares shot past it, like in one of those old cartoons.
"We should find Zecora's hut." Lightning suggested.
"Yeah," I said, panting,"she might not be affected by heat." We turned around and continued in the direction to Zecora's hut. Draco knocked on the door.
"Hello? Zecora? We need a safe place to stay for the rest of the day." Draco said.
"Come in and try my new stew, a bowl for me and all of you, too." She responded. We walked inside to see a big cauldron with stew in it. She was pouring it into bowls for each of us.
"So why have you fellow ponies of mine come at my hut at this very time?" She rhymed.
"Well, we were running away from the mares because they hit heat not too long ago. And we need to stay here for the day, because that's when heat ends." Lightning explained. He then sipped the soup.
"This is really good." He simply said, and drank the rest. I took a sip, and it was awesome. It tasted like nothing I have ever tasted before! And...
Everyone else had took a drink out of it, and fell on the floor, unconscious. My vision started to fade.
(Oh, no, god, DAMMIT!)
{I wanna take a nap...}
[Ditto.]
I fell down on the floor, my vision filled with darkness.
...
I woke up again, to see my hooves tied together, same with the others. I was the only one awake, it seemed.
"Lightning! Pssst! Wake up!"
"Wh-what?" He woke up and looked around.
"What...Happened?" Muffin woke up as well.
"Mmmmph!" I looked at Draco, whose mouth was tied shut, like when someone ties an alligator's snout to make it stop snapping it's teeth.
"Slowly living through the days, no stallions have come here to play. When I thought I wouldn't mate, four stallions came, I couldn't wait!" Zecora said, coming out of the shadows.
"You're quite the poet. Now, if you could just let us go and we can be on our-"
"No! You will not go back home! Unless I get what I want, that will have to be postponed." She interrupted me.
"Oh yeah? How does a couple thousand volts going down your spine sound?" Lightning threatened.
"In your bowl I put a special potion. Trying to shoot lightning is a silly notion." She said. Lightning tried shooting a lightning bolt at her, but was replaced by only a tiny spark.
"And I had to tie your mouth in a knot, you know those flames are searing hot." She looked at Draco. He put on an expression that said "Bite me."
"You two don't even have powers, you are just two small cowards. And now I can finally mate, I don't even care if you all view with hate!" She said. We all smirked. They looked at me.
"On it." I said. My four clones appeared, and Anger and Strength tackled Zecora. Knowledge and Peace were looking around. Knowledge found an antidote for Lightning, and Peace found a knife. He slowly cut my rope, and he still wasn't done. Knowledge grabbed the knife.
"Here. Let me do it." He quickly cut through my bonds, and cut everypony else's. Zecora jumped up from Strength and Anger, who were being distracted, and charged at us. With perfect accuracy, Knowledge threw the knife at one of the ropes holding up an assortment of pots that was hanging on the wall. The pots fell down, and a few hit her head, while the last one got her head stuck inside. Anger came up and hit the pot as hard as he could, and she fell to the ground, unconscious. My clones went back in my head, and we threw Zecora in the closet and locked it.

A few hours later

We just hung out, eating some stuff, when there was a loud banging on the front door. I looked at the time.
"Its almost midnight!" We looked out the window. All of the mares were at the front door, beating the crap out of it. It burst inwards, and they all rushed inside. They saw us at the window and yelled,
"STALLIONS!"
"RUN!" I yelled. We shot out of the window and we all flew away, including muffin and his rocket boots.
"Oh no you don't!" Pinkie yelled, and she grabbed me, pulling me to the ground.
"I'M COMING, AUTHOR!" She yelled, and she disappeare- Hey! This is my story! No it isn't! Yes it is! SMACK! All of Stargazer's friends' wings are suddenly gone, along with their powers. They are moving in slow motion! Heat now lasts forever! HAHAHA-Oof! Okay... Heat is over. Have fun. Princess Celestia, the one who tackled me after Pinkie, snapped into reality, saw the position she was in, and blushed deeply. She disappeared, not saying a word. I got up and dusted myself off as the rest of the mares walked home.
"Well, that was... strange." I said.
"See you tomorrow then, I'm beat." Muffin said. He walked home, and so did all of my other friends.

Two weeks and four days later

I waited in the hospital lobby, and the doctor walked in, along with Derpy.
"Everything checks out, you should be fine." He said. She walked up to me and caught me off guard in a tight hug.
"I missed you Stargazer." She said.
"I missed you too." I replied.
(The. Sappiest. Possible. Thing.)
Says the guy who nearly got killed because he tried to rape Rainbow Dash.
(I hate you.)
Ditto.
We left the hospital, heading back home.

Chapter 23: Draco

There was a knock on the door, and I opened it to reveal Draco.
"Good evening, Stargazer. I know we all claimed that we were going to return home, but I can't help but wonder what you meant when you said that you went to different universes." He said. I looked back yesterday, when I met up with Muffin and Draco and the rumor that I went to three different universes went out.
"Come in, I'll explain a bit more." He walked inside.
"Yes, and we haven't even attempted to get to know each other." He said.
"Why do you always talk like that?" I asked, sitting in a recliner while he sat on the couch.
"Yes, I will explain. I lived a...different lifestyle. My father was a dragon, while my mother was a pegasus. How those two species even mix, I do not know. My father was the king of dragons, and he wanted to conquer as many places in the world as possible. He invaded the land of the Griffins, along with many others. My mother was not happy with this, and confronted my father one day. He was enraged at my mother's actions, and murdered her." I winced at the word 'murder'.
"My father wants me to take his place, for it is almost time for me to be king. However, I declined, and he banished me from my own home. I now wander the world, in search for somebody to stop my father. I believe you can truly help with my quest." He explained. I gulped.
"Well, I know how you fell about the dead parents part, but...what? You dad is evil, he killed your mom, and you want me to stop him?" I asked.
"While that is a highly crude explanation, it about sums it up." He responded.
"But, what am I supposed to do?" I asked.
"I have seen you fight. How you can send four more of yourself to fight alongside you." He said.
"Yeah, but, against dragons? That's gonna be tough, with the fact that they probably don't feel up to it." I said.

{It might be interesting.}
I've always wanted to see a full grown dragon.
"Okay, so they are up for it." I said.
"By the way, you never told me where 'they' came from." He said. I sighed. I think I have lost count with how many times I have had to explain this.
"Okay, so I deliver mail. This black, shadow-like pegasus came out of nowhere, and tackled an innocent citizen. So, I chased him, and he disappeared. Later on, he appeared again, or his voice did, and I was sent to another dimension. In the dimension, these four voices just came on in my head. They claimed to be my consciousness, Anger, Knowledge, Peace, and Strength. They helped me escape the dimension. I was sent to a different one, and got saved by the pony that got attacked before. So, a few days later, my friend murdered somepony." Draco looked up.
"Which friend?" He asked.
"Bumble." I replied. He frowned.
"Don't worry, the entire thing was cleared off. Anyways, I was sent to another universe again, and my consciousnesses fell out of my head, into the real world. I escaped the universe yet again, and found my four clones. And, well, I died. It was wird though, it was as if god gave me a second chance. So after all of that, I found out, or, my consciousnesses found out how to control it. So, they can appear at will." I explained.
"Can you do it now?" He asked.
You guys feel up for it?
(But I'm so tired...)
{It will only be for a second, Anger.}
(Fine.)
The four of me appeared, and Draco inspected them.
"So, these are your four traits that make the full you." He said.
"Precisely." Knowledge said. Draco continued to inspect them. Anger moaned.
"You're just like Twilight." He said.
"Sorry. This is just very intriguing." He said. My clones returned to my head, and we sat back down.
"I can explain one part of your story." Draco said.
"That black pegasus you mentioned, he was an assassin my father hired." He said.
"Why me?" I asked.
"I guess my father knew you would have to be the one." He replied.
"Hm... that makes sense. About two months ago, I stopped a meteorite from destroying Equestria." I said.
"That was you?" He asked. I nodded.
"That must be it. My father witnessed this, and must have wanted to kill you due to it. Well, we must hurry with our mission, time is running out. My father wishes to take over Equestria next." He explained.
"Why?" I asked.
"Equestria is the only place he has failed to conquer." He said
"So, when do we get started?" I asked.
"In a week. Grab a few things, we will need some others to help us. Train a little." He said.
This is gonna be one hell of an adventure.
(This is gonna be awesome!)

Chapter 24: Preparations

I knocked on the door of Muffin's house, on top of a steep hill.
"What's up Stargazer?" He greeted.
"Draco invited me to go on a sort of 'adventure' and he wanted all of us to join." I said.
"Count me in. I'll get stuff ready, and train for any sort of fight." He said.
"Alright, meet up at my house in a week." I replied, and walked away. I said the same thing for Bumble and Lightning, and they both agreed. So I told Derpy about the news, and I also told Bedrock. Derpy was sad to see me go, but wasn't that sad. Afterwords, I realized I didn't have any weapons of any kind. I looked around Ponyville to find any weapons store, but because it is really peaceful, there wasn't any store of that kind. Later, I went to Draco's house, which was in the outskirts of Ponyville.
"We need weapons. Where can we find some?" I asked. He scratched his chin, thinking.
"Uh, if we go to the royal guards, they might have a Blacksmith." He said.
"Wanna get everybody else and see if we can find one?" I asked.
"Sure." He replied. We gathered everyone and flew to Canterlot, where we had permission to talk with Princess Celestia.
"You want weapons? Why?" She asked.
"Well..." I was talking with my consciousnesses while Draco explained what was going on.
Are you guys sure about this?
(Hell yeah! Let's kick some dragon ass!)
[I don't really know, I don't like getting into fights...]

{I don't want to, but if we must.}
What if something bad happens?
{True, we don't have anyone trained in medical procedures in our group.}
(Who cares? Nothing bad is gonna happen.)
[It's not always good to use brute force, Anger.]

Don't ask me, this is Draco's adventure.
"...Alright. I will allow you to make weapons in the local Blacksmith's shop. Afterwards, you may keep the weapons." She said.
"Why are you helping us?" Bumble asked.
"Draco's father ans I have a bit of a... score to settle. I believe the only way to convince him to make peace is by, well, not making peace at all. This has to end, and we have kept this secret from Equestria for decades. If you can stop him, I will forever be in your debt." She explained.
"Thank you, your highness. Where do we find the Blacksmith's shop?" Draco asked.
"Northeast from here, in the Royal Guard Training Grounds." She said.
"However, do not tell anypony about your mission. As soon as the word spreads, there will be a massive attack from us, and we won't be prepared. You five, however, seem to know what you are doing. Other than most ponies I know." She said. I chuckled.
"Thanks. We should be back in..." I looked at Draco.
"About a month." He finished. We walked out of the palace and headed for the Royal Guard Training Grounds.
"So, who does what?" Bumble asked.
"Well, that is for us to decide. We all know that Lightning is good with brute force. If we are ever in a sticky situation, Lightning would be our first priority. We need somepony light on their hooves, however. Somepony sneaky." He said.
"How about Stargazer?" Bumble asked. We all turned to him.
"There was a party for him, and before it even started, he snuck in without anypony seeing him." Bumble explained.
"Okay, Stargazer, you are the assassin." Draco said. I nodded.
(Sweet!)
Not sweet. I don't know how to assassinate!
{We might just learn by instinct.}
"What is Muffin going to be?" I asked.
"Demolition!" He suggested.
"Okay, what about Bumble?" Lightning asked.
"I work good with a bow." He said.
"Okay, you're the sniper." Draco said.
"Now, what will I be?" He asked
"Leader." We all said at the same time.
"What kind of leader?" He asked.
"One that leads." Muffin said.
"Alright, now we need weapons." Draco said as we appeared at the front gate of the Royal Guard Training Grounds. We opened it and looked around. There were buildings, arenas, armories, and we finally saw the Blacksmith's shop. We walked in to find a grey pony with a black and white striped mane and tail. He inspected us and frowned.
"You don't look like royal guards." He said.
"Yes, however, the princess gave us permission to have our own weapons made." Draco replied. His eyes narrowed.
"For what purpose?" He asked. Draco looked stumped.
"Uh..." He started.
"We are main targets of outlaws that want to kill us, and the princess wanted us to protect ourselves." Muffin said. His eyes narrowed even more.
"Well, alright. My name's Greyhound. I have a wide assortment of weapons and armor for you." He said.
"What will it be?" He asked.
"Well, let us introduce ourselves. This is Stargazer." Draco pointed to me.
"Sup?" I said.
"This is..." He introduced everpony else, and I looked around the room. It was almost like a small house, except there were tons of weapons and armor hung on the walls. There was a forging center, were the weapons were made, and a storage area, were weapons were stored.
(This should be where I live.)
{Yes, it does seem to fit your personality.}

[I hate this place. Who would want this many weapons here?]
It's a Blacksmith's shop. What did you expect?
"Well, what do you need?" Greyhound asked.
"Yes, Stargazer would like..." He looked towards me.
"Two daggers." I responded, snapping back into reality.
"What size?" He asked.
"An assassin's dagger." I replied. He took out what seemed to be a piece of paper and a quill and wrote it down.
"Lightning Streak?" He asked, looking up.
"Greatsword." He said. Greyhound wrote it down on the paper.
"Bumble?" He asked.
"Bow and arrows." He said, and Greyhound looked up.
"Doesn't that seem like a terrible weapon choice against somepony that might try to kill you up close?" He asked, and Bumble shrugged.
"You never know." Bumble said. Greyhound narrowed his eyes, but wrote it down.
"Uh...Muffin?" He asked.
"Hm...Actually, I'm a demolition pony, so I don't really need a weapon." He said.
"Demolition? What you're going to blow up your house when somepony tries to kill you?" He asked. Muffin smiled.
"Blow em' sky high." He said. Greyhound sighed.
"How about a regular sword?" I suggested.
"Yeah, I'm okay with that." Muffin said, and Greyhound wrote it down.
"Draco?" He asked.
"Hm... how about a mace?" He asked. Greyhound wrote it down.
"Alright, come back here tomorrow and they should be done." He said.
"Thanks." Draco said, and we walked out of the door.
"Alright. We need a medic in case things get messy." Muffin said.
"Let's all search. We will meet up at Ponyville square when the sun is just setting. Search!" Draco said, and we all flew in different directions.

I flew east, hoping to find some kind of medic. I asked around everywhere, but to no avail. I was about to give up when I heard somepony behind me.
"I heard you're looking for a medic." I turned around to see a white mare with a red and dark red striped mane and tail.
Wow. She looks a lot like Muffin.
(Fucking twins, I tell you.)
"I think I can help." She said.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Ruby." She said. "I've done medical training, but everypony always turns me down because I am more of a combat medic." She said.
"My name is Stargazer, nice to meet you." I said, and shook her hoof. It was quite a long time since we started, and I looked at the sun. It was just starting to set.
"Okay, we need to get to my friends, quickly." I said.
"Alright. Lead the way." She said. We ran as fast as we could, because Ruby didn't have wings, but a horn instead. I found everypony hanging at the fountain in Ponyville square, all looking defeated. They saw me and Ruby coming thier way, and instantly perked up.
"These are my friends, Draco, Lightning Streak, Bumble, and Muffin. Muffin?" I stopped when Muffin was the only one that didn't greet himself, while all of the others said things like "What's up." Instead, Muffin was frozen, staring at Ruby. I looked over to Ruby and she was doing the same.
"Uh, guys." I walked in front of them, and they shook their heads, snapping back into reality. Draco looked just about done.
"Okay, it's been an exhausting day, we should get some rest. The sun is going down, after all." Draco said. Ruby looked down, almost saddened.
"I don't have a home. I can't afford one, and my parents are dead." She said.
Wow. Just wow. How many ponies are we going to meet that don't have parents?
{Including ourselves?}
(Lots of stuff happens these days.)
"Well, you are always welcome to stay at my house, I have a spare bedroom you could use." I suggested. Ruby smiled.
"Yeah, but I wanted to stay with Muffin. Is that alright?" She asked.
"Oh hell yes! I mean, that would be great." He said.
(Ooooh, somethings going down!)
We all walked to our houses, for a good night sleep.

Muffin's point of view

I walked in my room and crawled into my bed. The constant beating of rain against the window was very relaxing. I got to know Ruby on the way home. Damn, she is hot. I slapped myself in the face. What am I thinking? She's just going to be our medic for the mission, that's all. There was a flash of lightning and a loud boom outside. Then \, there was a knock on the door.
"Hello? Muffin?" Ruby said.
"Come in." I called. She cracked the door open.
"I know that you have a guest room, but, I'm a bit scared of thunder storms." She said. "Can I sleep with you?" Screw what I said before.
"Sure." She smiled and walked in, and climbed into bed.
"Goodnight." I said, and turned off the lights. I looked over and waited. The lightning flashed, and a boom was heard. She didn't even flinch. I chuckled and drifted to sleep.

Shoot for the Stars special: Infiltration

For the week we trained for our mission, and we finally set out on our adventure. Apparently, the dragon lands were quite a ways away, and it would take about a week to get there. On the first day, we walked through thick forests, and even saw a village. when we got inside, there weren't very many ponies. The houses were destroyed and most of them wrecked and on fire. There weren't very many ponies out either, but most of them were dead. We finally found one that was writhing on the ground. He looked up at us.
"Oh, thank goodness! Saviors!" He seemed to cheer up a bit. He was incredibly thin to the point where you can see the bone.
"Could you please tell us what happened to your village?" Draco asked. He then noticed Draco, and cowered in fear.
"No! Not again! Don't kill me!" He got up and ran off, pretty quickly for somepony like him.
"What was that all about?" Ruby asked. Draco looked down.
"He must have been attacked by my father. It would only make sense that he is glad to see you all, and then flee when he witnessed something similar to a dragon." He explained. We continued on our way, and we saw another villager.
"Draco, you might want to hide. We will talk to him." I said. He nodded, and hid behind a semi-broken building. We walked up to the villager, who looked healthier than the other, but was obviously older.
"What do you kids want?" He barked.
"What happened to your village?" I asked. He scoffed.
"It got destroyed." He said.
"By what?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter! You can't do a thing about it either!" He snapped. Bumble came up and took out his old knife, the one he killed Pinkie Pie with.
"Tell us or you'll be killed off like the rest of your friends." Bumble growled. The villager took a step back.
"Alright, alright. We were attacked by Everfree, the dragon lord." He said.
Everfree?
{Indeed. I believe the Everfree forest was named after him due to the danger that lurks in it.}
Bumble put his knife away and stepped back.
"Sorry for disturbing you, we'll be on our way." I said. When we were out of sight, Draco ran up to us.
"What did he say?" He asked.
"You were right. This place was attacked by dragons." Muffin said.
"Alright. Let's just keep going. If we get lost, there should be more villages on the way." Draco said. We continued our journey.

It was getting dark, and we set up camp. I sat in my mobile mattress.
Man, this is going to be a long trip.
(It'll be worth it when we get there.)
[I just hope nothing bad happens to us.]

...
{Well, I'm exhausted.}
Yeah. I'm going to sleep.
I closed my eyes, but couldn't find any relaxation. We were going to be gone for about a month, and we could most likely die on this trip. So I sat there, wide awake, letting my thoughts drift on all of the possible things that could happen.

A few hours later, I decided to Stargaze. I hadn't in a while, so I set up y telescope and looked around at the night sky. There were a lot of interesting things up there, and I have always wanted to go to the moon instead of just space. Without being a bitch that likes bananas, of course. I decided that if we could pull this mission off, I should be able to go to space. I would feel way more confident in myself if we beat this mission. I sighed and packed up my telescope. I went back into bed, and finally, slowly, fell asleep.

The next morning, we had some quick breakfast of some hay sandwiches. We continued on, going into a mountain range. You may be thinking to yourself, 'why can't Ruby teleport you to the place you need to be?'. Well, she can't. Her magic isn't strong enough, and is only good for medical purposes. For the next few days, we simply traveled, and traveled, and traveled. We never came across anymore villages, and finally reached our destination. We looked over a hill to see the castle, and quickly ducked our heads back down. Just from the quick glance, I could tell there were so many guards at once.
"Okay guys, we need to stick to the plan." Draco said.
"There was a plan?" Muffin asked, pulling out a stick of dynamite, which he looked ready to light and throw it at any second.
"Yes. I have thought it over, and came to a conclusion. I used to live here before, and I know this place inside-out. If I am correct, there should be underground tunnels directly below us that leads right into the castle itself, past the walls." Draco explained. I looked over the hill again, and saw the ten foot tall wall.
"It is what the dragons use to escape in case of an emergency." He said.
"So, we need to find an entrance?" Lightning asked.
"Precisely. If we can find the entrance and kill the guards without being detected, we will have a way in and a way out in case we are in a pinch." Draco said.
"Where do we find an entrance?" Muffin asked. Draco looked to be thinking.
"Well, I remember one entrance, but it could be very risky." Draco said.
"Good enough, let's go!" Ruby said. We followed Draco on top of a small mountain. Around the corner, we saw two guards there.
"Stargazer, do your thing." Draco whispered. I nodded and crept on top of the tip of the mountain, above the entrance. I used my wings to land soft as a feather behind the two guards. I slit their throats at the same time, making a satisfying slice.
(Damn, didn't think we were very good at being an assassin!)
"All clear." I called. They came out from behind the corner, and looked inside the dimly lit cave entrance.
"Alright, Stargazer, Lightning, you're with me. Bumble, Ruby, Muffin, you keep watch." Draco ordered. We all nodded and I went into the tunnel with Draco and Lightning. Three paths split, and I took the middle path. I slowed down a bit, I have to keep quiet after all. I looked around for any sort of entrance, anything that might lead to the castle. I stopped when I heard footsteps. I looked around, worried. There were no spots to hide, nowhere to strike undetected. I then looked up, where a support bar held the tunnel up. I quietly flew up and perched myself on it. Luckily, the dragon didn't see me as he walked by. When he passes, I jumped down and snapped his neck. I continued on my path, and took one of the torches. You never know when you will need it. I then found yet another split path, this time with five different ways. My consciousnesses came out and split up. After a while of walking, I finally found an exit. I looked around, and there were no guards. I could only see the wall behind me, and a vast outside.
Well, fuck. I just found another entrance.
I walked back in and headed back in the direction of the other entrance that we came through.

Draco's point of view

We split up, for I couldn't remember which was the right way to get inside. There didn't seem to be any guards, not that I know of. I turned a corner, and darted back behind, for there was a dragon guard standing right there. I slowly crept from behind, took my mace, and smashed it into his head, making blood burst everywhere. I continued on, determined to find my father and kill him. That appeared to be the only guard there was, as I had searched all of the different passageways, which appeared to lead to other entrances, and I found no more. Not very many guards patrol the tunnels. I sighed in defeat, and retraced my steps back to the entrance we had took.

Lightning's point of view

I walked down the other path, feeling confident about myself. I had always gotten into fights, but I have never tooken a horde of enemies! With weapons!
"Hey! Who are you?!" A voice yelled to me ahead of the tunnel. I smirked and pulled out my greatsword, and sent a sock of lightning through it, almost making it look like a lightning bolt itself.
"Leave or you die!" The guard said, pulling out a simple sword.
"I'm not going anywhere." I said, and charged at him. He looked as if he regretted his decision, and soon did. I slashed him through the belly, blood spurting everywhere, while volts of electricity clearly ran through him. I put my sword away and pressed on. I found an exit, for there were no other tunnels splitting apart, and look at that. I'm in. I walked back inside and slashed an arrow in the tunnel that lead to the exit's ground. I decided to head back and visit Ruby, Bumble, and Muffin.

Bumble's point of view

As I sat there, 'standing guard' I felt left out, watching these two lovebirds staring at each other and rarely talking. I sighed and started sharpening my arrowheads. I even put up a few targets, made of two dead dragons. I was practicing my shooting, aim, angle, all of the things to get a perfect shot. After a while, I sat back down on a rock, convinced I had practiced enough. I looked over at Ruby and Muffin, who were having a little conversation. I was too far away to hear what they said, as I wasn't even interested in it. I looked over again, and flinched. They started to kiss, even when they only met not too long ago. I remember Muffin saying he didn't train with her in the training week, and they barely talked to each other while we were getting here, probably because all of us were around at the time, and yet, right in front of me, they were kissing. I sighed, and started to think about Rainbow Dash. I miss her so much, and yet, I feel as if I regret even dating her. I mean, Fluttershy was the one, that was obvious. But suddenly, things changed when I killed Pinkie. She was heartbroken, and I knew she couldn't take it. Her fragile little heart couldn't take it. Yet, Rainbow Dash, with a heart so loyal, cared for me. Made me feel better when I was blue. I sighed again, and reverted to reality when Lightning walked out of the cave.
"Sup." He said. He looked over at Ruby and Muffin, and whistled.
"Things are getting hot up here isn't it?" He asked.
"Yeah. They were just sitting there for the longest time, staring in each others' eyes. I turn my head for one second, and then they're kissing." I said. It looked like Muffin and Ruby heard us talking, and looked at us. They blushed deeply, and Muffin scooted away. We laughed.
"It's okay you two, we all have our moments." Lightning said.
"Did anypony find an exit?" Draco said, walking out of the cave with Stargazer.
"Yes I did." Lightning said. Draco smiled.
"Great! We need to go in now, however. They will soon discover the dead bodies." Draco said. Everypony gathered their weapons and gear, and I picked up my bow and arrows.

Back to Stargazer.

I headed back into the direction we were going, and found my clones waiting as well.
"Find anything?" I asked. They all shook their heads. I sighed, and they returned to my head. Draco walked out of his tunnel.
"Find anything?" He asked. I shook my head and he sighed. He looked down.
"Hey, what do you think that arrow means?" He asked. I shrugged, and we walked towards the entrance, overhearing some laughing.
"It's okay you two, we all have our moments." I heard Lightning say as we exited the tunnel.
"Did anypony find an exit?" Draco asked.
"Yes I did." Lightning declared. Draco smiled.
"Great! We need to go in now, however. They will soon discover the dead bodies." Draco said. Everypony grabbed their stuff, and we headed in the direction of the exit.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
We looked out of the exit, and saw everything.
"Wow. This place is huge!" Ruby said.
"Okay, stick to the plan." Draco said.
"We went over this. There is no plan." Muffin said.
"Bumble, perch yourself on that hill over there." Draco said, and he flew over to the hill and perched himself on top of a tree branch, readying his bow.
"Lightning, stay with Bumble." Draco commanded. He did a salute and flew over to the hill Bumble was on.
"Ruby, you're with us. Same with you two." He pointed at us. We all nodded.
"Now, follow me." We maneuvered around the wall, finding any weak points and all guards there were in the area.
"Ruby! Guard check!" Draco whispered.
"40." She replied.
"Okay, Stargazer, assassinate those three guards there." I nodded, and crept over to the three guards, but I couldn't kill all three of them, one of them was looking in the opposite direction, which would blow my cover. I looked to the tree Bumble was on, and nodded my head. He pulled back his arrow. I jumped in front of the guard facing me, and before he could react, I snapped his neck. The other two heard the sound, and turned around. They fell to the ground as I saw the arrows pierce their faces. I smiled. It quickly changed back, however, as I heard a siren go off. Guards flooded outside of the building, doubling the amount then before. Draco ran up and stood beside me. I looked around for Muffin, but he was gone. A giant lightning bolt shot from the sky and landed down, crashing in front of us. Lightning appeared, looking gleeful as ever, wanting to kick some ass. He charged at them, and blood splattered everywhere as we all started to attack them. Arrows were also hitting the guards. Bumble had a damn good aim. One of the guards finally grabbed Lightning, then another, and the last one tackled him. I was tackled as well, along with everypony else. One of the dragons even got Bumble over here. One by one, the guards smashed our faces hard enough to wake us faint. I could see Muffin flying above, but he got caught as well. I was hit in the face and went out cold.

...Wh-What happened?
I woke up to be in a stadium of some sort. But I had my weapons. There were no chains, no guards, no nothing. We were just in a stadium.
"So, you have attempted to infiltrate my kingdom?" A booming voice was heard from a high area in the stadium, and it was a big green and blue dragon. He chuckled.
"Pathetic. I never would have believed that my own son would actually fail at this attempt like this." He said.
"Just shut up, father." Draco said, getting up. He scoffed.
"Well, the end of your life is near. Release the secret weapons!" He boomed.
"Nice names!" Muffin yelled up to him. "Where'd ya get them? The dollar store?" He fell on the ground laughing.
"You won't be laughing when you meet D and Pineapple." He responded. This made Muffin laugh even more.
"What kind of names are those?" He asked, trying to get a breath. Everfree looked over at a guard that was holding a chain, and he nodded his head. He then started to pull the chain down, lifting of the huge wall. I got ready. We were about to face the most threatening thing we have ever seen. The most dangerous of tasks. One we might not even survi-
Standing there was a small, brown filly and a tall, green mare. We all busted a gut on the ground, even Draco thought it was hysterical. I looked at Muffin, and noticed his glasses were gone. They were on the other side of the stadium, but who cares? This is hilarious! Muffin looked up and looked into the brown pony's yellow eyes. She stared back, and Muffin bursted into flames. He got up and started running around, screaming. I stopped laughing and prepared myself as the green one approached. I was about to cut at her, but I couldn't. She was just so...beautiful...and...
(Oh, damn. What do we do now?)
{I dunno.}
She pinned me down, and her eyes were full of lust. She began to lick my chest up to my arm...and then took a large bite of flesh off of me. I snapped into reality and slashed her across the chest. She growled and took a bite out of my chest. I kicked her off, and tried to fight, but, damn that hurt!
"Muffin!" I yelled. He disappeared, basically abandoning us.
"The fuck!" I yelled after him. I heard Draco's father laughing above, as if this were some sort of comedy. Lightning flew to the sky and made it rain on him, dousing the fire. He looked down at Muffin's glasses, and put them on. He stared into the brown one's eyes, but he didn't light on fire. She looked shocked.
"Payback is a bitch." He said, grabbing his greatsword. He charged at her, but was stopped by the green one. I looked over, and he seemed to be falling into her trap, as I could see she already pinned him down and was, well, having a bit of fun with him. She started nibbling on his ear, then took a full on bite out of it.
"FUCK!" He yelled, and headbutted her. She stumbled back, and he got up. She was about to tackle him again, when Draco tackled her and kept her down.
"I am not affected, as dragons are immune!" He yelled. There was a loud boom in the sky, and Muffin was flying down, a trail of white and red behind him. He held a rainbow guitar if front of him and yelled,
"ROYAL RAINBOOMS!" He shot rainbows out of his guitar, and they worked like lasers.
(Dafuq?)
He then threw the guitar down, and it bursted into a small rainbow-splosion. Lightning finally got to the brown one, and kept her down. Draco already flew off of the green one, and Ruby tackled her. Everfree was surprised to see Draco come up, but Draco was kicking ass. He was smashing his father's face with the mace to outer space. Yes, I rhymed. Muffin was there too, and set up a bunch of bombs behind the dragon, who was stumbling back due to Draco's blows. When he was right above the explosives, Muffin pressed the detonator button, which blew Everfree high into the air. Lightning threw his greatsword at Draco, and he flew up as as fast as he could, greatsword in hoof. He held it up, and when gravity pulled Draco's father down, Draco stabbed right through his father, a look of shock in his eyes. All of the dragons looked up, along with the two that were fighting us. Everfree hit the stadium floor with a ground-shaking thud. It was clear he was dead, and all of the dragons looked astonished. I looked away and coughed up blood. I am about to die from blood loss. My body functions took over, and I blacked out.

I woke up to see everypony, including the two that we fought, looking over me, except for Ruby, who was busy putting bandages over me.
"We have come to an agreement." The green one said.
"It states in the rules that if our master was killed by someone, than they are our master afterwards." The brown one said.
"We will join your group. My name is D." The green one said.
"My name is Pineapple." The other one said.
"We did it! Woo!" Muffin cheered.
"Shall we go home?" Draco asked.
"Sure." I said while getting up, and we walked back towards our old home.
"What happened to the dragons?" I asked.
"They are free. No longer ruled by a tyrant." Draco said.
"Ah." I looked ahead. This is a memory I will never forget.

Chapter 26: Hangover

WARNING:This chapter contains walking and bad dancing.
NOTE: This is a collaboration with ultrasponge, so don't be surprised if you see randomness around every corner.

Muffin’s point of view.

I trotted in my house, and the lights turned on all of a sudden. A flash of pink appeared.
“SURPRISE!” Pinkie yelled in my face. I lazily pushed her aside causing her to stumble.

“Fuck off, I’m going to bed.” I said, clearly sounding exhausted, and walked into my room. She followed rambling on.

“But I threw a party for you! Everypony will be there! There will be balloons, cake, and all of your friends too!” She spat out.

I groaned. “Look I’m really really tired right now, so please leave me alone.” I almost fell backwards down the stairs but fortunately she caught me.

“But the party we are going to throw for you is SOOOOOOOOOOOO important! You don’t want to abandon your friends, do you?” She asked.

I sighed “Parties can’t be important, and if they were it would be boring as watching paint dry. Plus, I don’t think my friends would mind if I didn’t go.” I look at her, her jaw was so low that I’m pretty sure a giraffe could of walked into it.

“I wont take no for an answer”. She declared cheerfully.

“Fine, nope.” I walked into my room and crawled into bed. She started bouncing up and down on me, and I was getting very annoyed, very quickly.

“Come on! Pleeaaasssssseeeeee?” She begged, she gave the most amazing puppy dog eyes ever, I felt bad for a second, but I stuffed my face into my pillow to drown out her moaning. “Super duper looper pretty please with ice cream and lolipops on top and with icing?” She begged even more. She seemed to be on the verge on tears, her relentless assault on my sanity was starting to prove successful.

“Blubba-fubba” I was so tired that I couldn’t talk properly. “I what, I don’t even know.”

Pinkie Pie stopped bouncing and just stood directly over me and looked me in the eye with an almost worried look. “Are you okay Muffin?”

I heard the sound of hoofsteps coming up the stairs, unfortunately these where Ruby’s. “Muffin I just came to see if...WHAT THE BUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!” She stared at me and Pinkie for a second longer before turning and running out of my house.

“What was Ruby all huffy about?” Pinkie Pie asked, puzzled.

“It’s likely that she thought we where about to have sex...” I trailed off, regretting those words.

“What? When I’m sober? No thanks! Or actually...” She started.

“Pinkie please stop talking.” I put my hoof over my face. When I removed it I saw that Pinkie was now sitting rather than standing. She looked rather disappointed. “What?”

She blushed “Oh nothing I was thinking about how comfortable your bed was. No! I mean I was thinking about the party.” However her eyes seemed to tell a different story. She then looked to one of the far corners of my room, I was fading quickly now. She leaned over me saying something comforting though I wasn’t able to define it, it was her tone that made me feel calm. I fell asleep under her watching eyes.

Stargayzer’s point of view.

I trotted inside my house, feeling good about myself. I saw a random chicken flying quickly through the air outside, wait was it a chicken I couldn’t really establish what it was, it seemed to have purple hair. I disregarded the thought as chickens can’t fly just like penguins.
“What the-” I started, when I noticed the form to be Scootaloo. Wait what? I stuck my head out of my window to get a better look. I could now see that she was being tugged by a rope connected to a yellow pegasus. a thought then suddenly burst into my head.
why was my door unlocked?
(Holy shit, somepony got into your house.)

{Yes, it appears the lock was broken.}
(Bitch probably stole are stuff.)
Not everything seems to be here.
(Too bad so sad. Let’s go on a burglar hunt. First one we find, we kill.)
{Lets not jump to conclusion based on what little evidence we have. I think it would be beneficial if where to gain a better understanding of our predicament.}

“BOO!” a pony appeared behind me and shouted that very loud startling me.
(HOLY DICK IN A BOX!)
I turned around to see Derpy smiling ear to ear.
Mine.
I grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed her.

I pulled myself away from her for a moment “I missed you so much.” I said after the kiss.
(NOMNOMNOM)
“I missed you too.” She replied.
(NOMNOMNOM)
“I missed you three” I said, nuzzling her softly.
{NOMNOMNOM}
(<[…]>)
{What?}
{So I can’t ever use my intelligence for comical purposes?}
(No.)

“D’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW” I saw Oinkie (Pinkie’s cousin and not a typo) staring right at us.

“Umm, this is a little awkward.” In my distraction I lessened my grip on Derpy causing her to fall onto the floor.
(EMBARRASSMENT!)
“Anyways, there is going to be a super duper party for you and your super duper friends!” Oinkie snorted cheerfully” She smiled gleefully. “I feel a song coming on.”
(<{[OH FUCK]}>)
She jumped in front of us and out of nowhere music started playing, and then she opened her mouth.
“First you wiggle your tail! Oink oink oink!
Then you wiggle your snout! Oink oink oink!
Then you wiggle your rump! Oink oink oink!
Then shout it out! Oink oink oin-”
I covered her mouth at the last second, she strangely chewed gently on my hoof.
The fu-
(Because that wasn’t weird.)
{Actually, I found it most uncomfortable.}

“Oinkie, what does this have to do with anything in any way, shape, or form that doesn’t have to do with pigs?

“It was everything to do with pigs or does it”. A voice that sounded similar to Oinkie’s blurted out, I knew it was Oinkie because I had my hoof in her mouth which she was still chewing on.

“Well, anyways, I’m throwing a party just for you and your friends! Wanna come? Pinkie said.

“Yeah, sure. We’ll be there soon.” I replied.I blinked.
where did Pinkie come from?
(Haven’t a clue)
I looked at Derpy and then back to Pinkie. I then pulled my hoof out of Oinkie’s mouth.

“Great!” She then bounced so high she broke the ceiling. “Oh sorry about that”.
She rubbed the back of her head, I couldn’t whether it was from embrassment or if she had hurt herself.
“It’s okay I mess up all the time.” Derpy chirped.

We began walking, walking to the party, and we walked inside and we walked some more. We walked some more until we reached the edge of the universe themed dance floor because of the snack table.

“Okay Derpy, I’m going to talk to my friends, I’ll be back soon.” I said, and walked to the edge of the next universe over. Brinkie (Pinkie’s boot camp sergeant and not a typo) came up beside me looking enthusiastic. “I was joking”. He looked sad for a second then He skipped off to the dance floor.

Muffin’s point of view.

I unwillingly woke up, I felt rested but my mind was just completely broken. I got out of bed falling unto my face something which I do way to often. Looking at my clock I realised, fortunately I hadn't be a sleep for very long so I knew I could make the party not that I was that keen on going but I can see I shit storm coming if I didn’t go. After falling down my stairs and having lunch I set off for the party.

The walk to the party had left me with my currently naggy thoughts. “Why can’t get my mind off Ruby and Pinkie Pie?” I yelled loudly at nopony. The walk was dragging on longer than I would have liked and even a spontaneous idea popped into my head. Sing! But I couldn’t. What if somepony saw me singing? I then realized that singing is quite normal for ponies and is considered a good thing. “Might as well...” I cleared my throat:

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of,
But dreams just aren't enough.
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen.
So I'll be holding my breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with...

Cause’ nopony wants to be the last one there
Cause’ everpony wants to feel like sompony cares
Somepony to love with my life in their hooves
There's gotta be somepony for me like that
Cause’ nopony wants to do it on their own
And everypony wants to know they're not alone
There's somepony else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somepony for me out there

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like déja vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my breath, could this be the end?
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause’ nopony wants to be the last one there
Cause’ everypony wants to feel like somepony cares
Somepony to love with my life in their hoofs
There's gotta be somepony for me like that
Cause’ nopony wants to do it on their own
And everypony wants to know they're not alone
There's somepony else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somepony for me out there.

You can't give up, (when you're looking for) a diamond in the rough (cause you never know)
When it shows up, (make sure you're holding on)
Cause’ it could be the one, the one you're waiting on.
Cause’ nopony wants to be the last one there
And everypony wants to feel like somepony cares
Somepony to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somepony for me, oh

Nopony wants to go it on their own
And everypony wants to know they're not alone
There's somepony else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somepony for me out there
Nopony wants to be the last one there
Cause’ everyone wants to feel like somepony cares
There's somepony else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somepony for me out there...

I breathed in deeply as the music slowly faded to nothing. I was now at the front door to Sugar Cube Conner. I readied myself for Pinkie’s over reaction to me actually coming to the party.

Lightning’s point of view.

I entered the party. Earlier, Finkie (again not a typo) came by my house and invited me to the party, which I accepted what else could I do? I couldn’t stop wondering about that ‘D’ pony that I had met. She seemed to have a bit of a thing for me, and not just the fact that she wants to tear my skin apart and devour it, but she does look tasty too. I would of started to drool if Ruby didn’t come up to me, there was something different about her though, but I couldn’t quite put my hoof on it.

“Hey, Lightning!” I heard Stargazer call me over. “Awesome party, right?” He asked, he looked a little drunk.

“Sure, why not?” I replied, shrugging. I looked over. “Have you been drinking cider?” I asked.

“Cider what cider...” He started to stumble around, his leg’s began to wobble uncontrollably and he lost his balance.
And...there he goes.
He tumbled away, and I sighed,then begun thinking about D again.

Back to Stargazer’s point of view.

I went over to Derpy a bit drunk, but still conscious. I smiled at her, and she burped in my face.
(Whoa, what kind of drugs is she on?)
{What would lead you to believe that Derpy was been taking any kind of controlled substance that would harmful to her?}

I looked at Derpy trying not to retch from the awful smell, she giggled at me and then drunk some vodka..
“Derpy are you drunk?” I asked.

“If I said yes, would you get mad at me?” She asked inocently.

“No.” I responded, I wasn’t sure myself if was being honest.

“Than yes. Here, have some.” She grabbed an entire jug of cider and I started chugging it down. Everything became fuzzy but not fuzzy fluffy, it was fuzzy wierd, as in fluzzy duzzy muzzy.
I need a llama.
(Do you think will score Derpy tonight?)

[Aren’t I pretty?]
Fuck yeah you are...or...wait, I can’t even see you, that’s funny.
Yeah but I can feel you
Bitch, that means you’re gay too.
(Suck my dick then.)

{You mad?}
I was so busy arguing with myself that I didn’t notice Applejack walk up to me, and I accidentally headbutted her.
“Ow, what was that for?” She asked rubbing her head

“Wanna hook up?”

“If I were to buck you, you’d be dead.” She gave a playful smile.

“Is that so?”

“If you want I can buck you in the face right now.” I thought she was making and innuendo so I replied.

“Buck yes!” and she kicked me upside the head. I stumbled backwards and fell on the ground and Applejack then thought it would be fine to use me as a seat, so she did.

Muffin’s point of view.

As expected as soon as I walked into the party Pinkie was very to greet me. She pounced on me knocking me on my back and she started shouting how happy she was right in my face. “OMC, YOU ACTUALLY CAME I’M SO HAPPY NOW THAT ONE MORE FRIEND TO HAVE FUN WITH BECAUSE I LIKE HAVE FUN WITH MY FRIENDS. I’M PINKIE THE PONY YOU’LL EVER MEET AND PROUD...OH MUFFIN WOULD YOU LIKE A SNACK FROM THE TABLE?!” I did even get chance to reply because she was already dragging me to the food table. When she had finished dragging me I got up onto my hoof’s and looked at what was available. I then I felt somepony bite into me hard, I expected it to be D but it was actually Derpy.

I stared at her for a second, she didn’t even realise. She was obviously hammered so I tried to remain calm. “Derpy may I ask why you are bitting me?” She removed me from her mouth.

“I wanted to *hic* she if you *hic* tasted *hic* of muff*hic*ins.” She perked up. “You do *hic*.”

I was almost speechless. “Umm...nice to know?”

she smiled at and attempted to walk off, it was a rather poor attempt. I looked at pint of cider in front of me, I knew there and then that something fucked up was going to happen if I drunk it. I downed the whole glass and whipped my mouth. I looked around for Bumble but I couldn’t see him anywhere or Rainbow Dash. It didn’t take long for me to connect the dots.

I looked around the room everypony was wasted apart from...Pinkie Pie not it made much difference see was socially inept anyway. I spotted Ruby by a table sitting in chair, I didn’t really want to talk to her however because of my morals I didn’t have a choice. She notice me walking towards her and she turned away from me. I sat down next to her, I opened my mouth to speak but no sound came out. She turned head to face me, I was expecting to see a cold stare but instead I was faced with lustful gaze. “I saw what you where going to do with Pinkie Pie, why her instead if me?”
“I didn’t do anything with Pinkie”.

She looked at me pouted. “You wanted to, she wanted to.”

“I didn’t and I still don’t want to do anything like that.”

“Do you know what I want Muffin?” She said leaning over the table.

“Um..” I wasn’t comfortable at all in this, she put her hoofs on my shoulders and she smiled deviously at me.

“I want you to to RAVISH ME!” She pulled me in and kissed throwing me off balance and I toppled backwards off my chair, her landing atop of me. I was pretty scared now, I looked at her. Her eyes where ablaze with passion. She licked my neck making my skin crawl. I tried to move but she smashed her hoof into the ground next whilst she let out a low growl. I made a quiet whimper. She brought her face close to mine her tongue hung lazily out.

“Hey guys random drink time!” A hoof place a bottle of wine in front of me whilst another opened my mouth. The bottle was then placed in my mouth and I was forced to drink it all. After I finished the drink I gasped for air, I had almost drowned in the liquor. I looked over to Ruby who was being force fed in the same manner as I was by Pinkie Pie, of course Pinkie Pie. She then pulled me off the ground and attempted to drag me however Ruby also grabbed me and pulled. It was not pleasant.

I twisted body round in an attempt to break free but to no avail. Ruby was tenaciously gripping whilst I think Pinkie Pie just thought it was a game. “Let go!” I might as well of not talked because they didn’t listen. “Pinkie Pie let me go now.” And she did and I got launched always across the room right onto the stage. I regained my composure and stood up, all of the ponies where now staring at me intently.

From the back of the room Pinkie pie shouted “SING!” and everypony started chanting it in unison. Well I was bollocked. I walked over to the DJ’s station and quickly skimmed through the songs. Finally he recognised a song he knew. I walked back to center stage Alright everypony this song is called STAMP ON THE GROUND!

Stamp on the ground

Jumping all around.

The crowd cheered, I bowed and hastily made my exit from the stage. “Well looks like I was wrong, tonight wasn’t so bad.” I mumbled to myself.

Stargazer’s point of view, again.

I woke up on the floor of my house, and looked around.
“The fuck happened last night?” I asked myself. I looked on the bed and noticed Derpy was in a sex position.
(Score!)
I gently shook her awake, and she looked around.
“What happened?” She asked.

“I believe we got drunk and had sex.” I said plainly. She blushed and got up from the bed.
“Well, wanna tell me about your adventure?” She asked.
“I’m a bit tired, and it sucks that we got drunk at the very beginning of the freaking party.” I said, rubbing my eyes.
“I’m gonna visit Bumble, see you in a bit.” I said.

Bumble’s point of view.

I walked into my house, and Rainbow Dash was there. She pulled me into a kiss.
NOMNOMNOM
I pulled back. “I missed you.” She said combing my hair with her hoof.
NOMNOMNOM
“I missed you too.” I responded.
NOMNOMNOM
She smirked. “Since you just got home, and we haven’t in a while, wanna have some fun?” She asked. Her wings were fully erect. Bumble’s dick felt the same. So does yours.
NOM.
I laughed. “Definitely.” We walked up to our bedroom, eager to get started. We walked inside, and she lied down on the bed with her arms and legs split apart.
“Ready?” She asked.
“Ready.” I said, and kissed her, everywhere...

Stargazer’s point of view.

I knocked on the cloud house door, but there was no answer. I opened it, and it was unlocked. I walked inside.
“Bumble?” I called. I heard voices coming from the bedroom, and I walked up the stairs. I opened the door and smiled, seeing the entire scene in front of me.
“Bumble! I finally found you! What happened last night?” I asked. He looked to Rainbow Dash, and back to me.
“This is a little private, would you mind if you left?” He asked.
“Not at all. I can wait.” I replied, and leaned against a wall.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I was in the corner, counting how many guards I killed in the mission so I could put nothces in the handle of my knives. I looked up and they were still at it.
“Are you almost done? I wanna ask some questions.” I said. Groans filled the room as the two lovebirds kept at it.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I looked up again, for I had taken a nap. They were still at it. I continued with my nap.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I looked up, and finally, they were done.
“Alright, so what happened last night?” I asked.
“We had a hangover.” Bumble said.
“What kind?” I asked.
“The one where you don’t remember a thing.” He responded.
“Thanks for the info. See ya.” I was about to leave, when,
“Wait! You sat through all of that just to ask two questions with the most obvious answers?!” He yelled.
“Hey, it wasn’t easy. You wait for hours at a time for your friend to stop raping the girl he is madly in love with.” I left the room, and then the house. I was heading to Lightning’s place next.

Muffin’s point of view

I woke up slowly, my head felt as is if it was made out of concrete. I finally noticed a pink blob in front of me then it dawned on me that wasn’t a pink blob it was Pinkie Pie and that was bad, so very very bad. I tried to move my fore hoof but they where bound together , the same was the story of my rear hoof’s in tried to wiggle around but to avail, in fact all it did was cause to snuggle up closer to me. I then noticed that they was to white arms wrapped around my chest, but they weren't mine. I turned my head to see who they belonged to. It was Ruby? Oh no...I then noticed another mare behind Pinkie Pie she had purple hair, Rarity? Well if things weren’t bad enough already. “Oh bollocks.”
______________________________________________________________________________
Author's notes:This chapter was pretty random due to the fact that this is our first time writing together. Me and ultrasponge, I mean. We will do this more often, and with practice, the chapters won’t be as random as this one. They will also be a shitload longer than my first chapters I ever wrote. As you can see, this one was about 1,000 words longer than my special, which I only did by myself.

Co-writer’s notes: I haven’t any sort of collaboration with any writer so this was a lot of fun plus we smashed most of the errors. I think this was one of the most random thing I've written. Period. I look forward to doing this with Burritoburger in the future. Hope you enjoyed. More to the point of the story expect everything to get shipped with anything even robot unicorns.

Shoot For The Stars

Guess who's back?

Chapter 27: Guess who's back?

I was walking Lightning's house, when I saw a crowd of ponies gathered in one area, a mobile stage in front of them.
Oh god no...
(This can't be.)
I walked over to the stage and looked up front.
"Surely none of you can best the power of the great and powerful TRIXIE!" An annoying voice cheered.
(GOD NO! WHY THE FUCK IS SHE HERE?!)
{Oh boy, Anger's pissed.}
Twilight walked up.
"Trixie, I don't think you understand that I bested you last time. Don't make me do it again." She said to Trixie.
"Hmph. Only you would think you could actually beat Trixie in a magic battle." She said to her.
"Actually, everypony saw it." Twilight argued.
"Oh yeah? Face me, then!" Trixie said. Twilight proceeded and walked up on stage. Trixie smirked.
"What are you going to do?" She asked.
"Absolutely nothing. I know that your magic is so terrible, I don't even have to lift a hoof." She said, and quite a few ponies from the crowed laughed. Trixie growled.
"I'll show you terrible!" Her horn glowed, and she shot a bright blue beam at Twilight, sending her flying.
"Whoa!" I yelled, and shot up, catching her. How? I don't really know. Reflexes, I guess.
"And there's plenty more where that came from!" Trixie said. I could see most of the ponies in the crowd scowled. I looked around and smirked. I picked up a nearby pinecone and threw it at her. It bounced off of her head, and she caught it.
"Now watch in awe as the great and powerful Trixie will eat pinecones for your amusement!" I called, stepping on stage, mimicking Trixie's voice. More ponies started laughing from this.
"You!" She said, and levitated me off the ground, and made me face her. "I hear you saved Equestria." She said.
"Twice." I corrected.
"Well! You can't beat the unstoppable magic of the great and powerful Trixie!" She said, and shot me with an even more powerful beam. I was launched into a tree, and broke it's trunk.
"You see? Nobody can stop me!" She boasted.
"Um, excuse me." I said, slowly floating above her head. She turned around.
"What in-" She started.
"It seems you threw Peace into a tree." I said.
"Who's Peace?" She asked.
"One of my clones." I said, and my three other clones appeared from behind the stage.
"How did you-" She started, but was at a loss of words.
"Listen, if you want to waste your life showing off your stupid magic tricks, maybe eating that pinecone will become your 'special talent'." Honestly, she was a bit more freaked out than I thought.
"B-But that's impossible!" She said. I chuckled.
"You haven't even met my friends." I replied.
"How did you do that?!" She asked.
"I'm stopping the conversation there. Listen, you want real magic? Then don't use it on pathetic shows like this." I said.
"My magic isn't pathetic!" She argued.
(Wow, we freaked her out so bad, she said 'my' instead of 'Trixie'.)
"I didn't call your magic pathetic, I called your show pathetic. Big difference. Listen, you are probably amazing at magic, but you need to use it right. Twilight could help you out." I gestured to the purple unicorn, who was still a bit dazed from Trixie's attack. My clones came back in, they basically showed off enough.
"Y-you think my magic is amazing?" She asked. "Nopony has ever said that about me..." She trailed off.
(This is getting really awkward, really fast.)
"Again, Twilight could help you with that. Now I need to see a friend." I flew off. I soon landed at Lightning's house, and knocked on the door. No answer.
Hm...
{I believe they are in the Everfree forest.}
How do you know that?
{I tapped in your memories. They mentioned it once on the way back home.}
Huh. Thanks.
I flew over towards the Everfree forest. Heh, Everfree. The dude we killed recently. I landed at the front of it, and entered. I looked around for any kind of sign of them. I then saw an orange tail, along with a red and black tail. I snuck over and ruffled the bushes.
"Hey!" I said. Lightning and D turned around, and I saw blood on their faces.
"Shh!" They commanded. I was a bit startled by the blood, but got used to it. They looked back over.
"What is it?" I whispered. I saw a deer on the other side of the bush. They tackled it at the same time, and started chewing the crap out of it, getting blood all over them.
I think I'm gonna puke...
(Don't do it!)
Lightning was chewing on the leg of the poor creature, and had some noticeable canine teeth.
"Oh yeah. I'm a omnivore like D, too." He grabbed another leg and handed it to me. "Want some?" He asked.
"Ugh. No thanks." I said. He shrugged, and I looked over at D, who recently chomped on the brain.
"Oh god!" I turned around into a bush and threw up so much. Just the look of them eating something that is similar to our kind.
"Ugh...okay. Let me show you how it's done." I said, and hid in a bush nearby another deer. Where the hell do they all come from? When the time was just right, I jumped out, and tried slashing it with my knife. But I missed and fell on my face as it galloped off. D and Lightning started laughing hysterically.
"You suck just about as much as Giro in bowling!" He said. While he wasn't there, Bumble explained the date to him.
"Is that a challenge?" I asked, getting up. "Because I can beat your ass so fast, Rainbow Dash would be impressed." I smirked. He laughed and held up his hooves.
"Watch out guys, we're dealing with a badass over here." He said. D walked over, with another part of the deer that I couldn't even tell what it was, due to it being covered in blood.
"You sure you don't want some? This is really good shit right here." She said.
"I just barfed my stomach up, and you want me to eat that?" I asked.
"Good point." She stuck her face in it, making disgusting noises with her mouth.
"So, despite what I just saw, how have you two been doing?" I asked.
"Uh...we got hooked?" Lightning said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah. Watch." He proceeded to kiss D, even though her face was covered in blood. Anger appeared in front of me just to puke in another bush.
"Jesus! You two need to act normal around here! Pones are gonna freak out if they see you with blood covered faces!" I said. They released the kiss.
"What? She's just like me, only she was ruled by someone before." Lightning said.
"That doesn't excuse you for eating our own kind." I said.
"Hey, that was a deer, not a pony. Besides, you're about to get married with the only pony with mental disabilities in Ponyville." He argued. I swept behind him and put my knife across his neck.
"You got a problem with that?" I asked.
"Whoa, chill dude." He said. I sighed, and put my knives away.
"Sorry, I'm still tired from the walk home. I couldn't sleep at all." I said.
"No problem." He said, and continued to eat the deer. I looked around, and saw a bunny hopping on by.
"Watch this." I said. Knowledge took over, and I threw the knife with perfect precision, impaling the bunny's head, and it was stabbed into the ground. I walked over and grabbed my knife again. Anger was already back in my head.
"Enjoy." I said. They rushed over to the bunny, hording it.
"Whoa, you two are insane." I said.
"We never got a bunny before, and they taste awesome." Lightning said, chewing on his half of the bunny. I shook my head.
"I shouldn't get into the sport of this, Fluttershy will kill me when she finds out that I killed that bunny." I said. "See ya." I walked away, and left the two to feast on their meal. I flew by Sugracube Corner, and decided to get some muffins for Derpy. I looked at the sign, and it said,
Sorry! Closed due to scheduled maintinence!
I frowned.
That's weird.
{Yes, there has never been maintenance, and they never warned ahead of time. Maybe you should-}
They spelled 'maintenance' wrong.
{Yeah. Sure. Ignore whatever I just said, because it never matters.}
I shrugged and walked away, when I heard a scream from inside. I tackled the door and broke in, running into the room where the scream came from. I stopped and stared at Pinkie Pie, who was forecfully thrusting her marehood into Muffin's stallionhood. Speaking of him, he's strapped to a bed. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Ruby all stopped and looked at me.
"Uh, did I miss something?" I asked.
"Hey Stargazer! You nearly missed all the *hic* fun." Ruby slurred, grabbing me.
"Wait, are you still drunk?" I asked.
"Yes, but I'm not! I'm still in heat!" She said. I looked up and frowned at the author.
...What? I made a pinkie promise.
"You know you can make it so the promise was never there, right?" I asked.
...Oh yeah. The pinkie promise was never made, and Pinkie Pie is out of heat.
Pinkie Pie looked down and yelped.
"Ahh! What was that?" She asked.
Rarity and Ruby aren't drunk.
"What happened?" They both asked.
"Nothing. Go home." I said, untying Muffin. They walked out, except for Ruby. She stayed there, waiting for Muffin.
"I'm gonna leave you two lovebirds to make out on that there bed. Alright? I'm going home." I said, and walked out of the room.

Also, OC's are still ripe for picking! While it looks like I have a ton, I will probaqbly accept any and all OC's that people will want to submit. Until next time,
Burritoburger.

Shoot For The Stars

Vortex

Chapter 28: Vortex

I bolted up from my bed and rubbed my eyes.
That was a weird dream.
(Yeah. Trixie came back, Lightning was an omnivore, and Muffin was getting raped!)
I felt jealous of him.
(I know! When was the last time we got raped except during heat?)
Uh, I was talking about Lightning being an omnivore.
(Oh. Well, that too.)
I looked at the time, and it was just turning morning. I stretched out and stumbled out of bed. I got myself some breakfast, and Starlight walked down the stairs, yawning.
"Morning Stargazer." She said.
"Morning. You were gone last night, I think. I dunno anymore. If you were, where were you?" I asked. We were both about the same age, so we basically took care of each other.
"Depends if you tell me were you have been for the past month." She said.
Shit! I forgot to tell her about the mission!
"Oh, just off with my friends, meeting some new ponies, obliterating a dragon empire that tried to take over Equestria, the usual." I said. She shook her head.
"Ever since there was that meteorite incident, you have gotten into a lot of different...situations." She said. I drank the milk from the cereal I just had and put it in the sink, washing it out.
"Yeah, so?" I asked.
"So, you are just that close from being killed." She said.
"Remember, I died once, your argument was never valid." I replied.
"Well, you have some really weird friends. What's up with them?" She asked.
"Ah, too many questions, you tell me where you were last night, if you were gone. Still can't get my head straight." I said.
"Well, I was with my coltfriend." I stopped and looked at her.
"Who is he?" I asked.
"His name is Frostfire. He's really nice and strong, and he-" I raised a hoof to stop her.
"Is he the same way as you in any way, shape, or form?" I asked.
"Well, we don't really like all the same things, but he-" I stopped her again.
"I can tell there will be a heartbreaking moment somewhere in about..." I trailed off.
{Three days.}
"Three days." I finished.
"Why do you say that? You are dating a mare that has a mental disorder, and is the most idiotic-"
"You better shut your face before I make that heartbreaking moment come earlier. That, and she isn't idiotic. Everypony thinks that because she is clumsy." I argued.
"Excuse me for stating the obvious." She said.
"And what do you want me to believe? That this 'Frostfire' is perfect, other than anypony else in the world?" I asked.
"Yes, and I want you to treat him with respect when he comes over today." She argued firmly.
"Well, I guess I'll just hang out with my friends for another month. Let's see how you can deal with that." Before I left the house, I turned to her.
"Oh, and make sure to remind me when your heart is shattered in three days to yell in your face, 'I TOLD YOU SO!'" And with that, I slammed the door. I sighed. We always got into fights, and they never really lasted long, but I could tell she was not wanting any of this, really. I flew over to Lightning's house. Maybe I can know him better.

When I arrived, I knocked on the door, and Lightning opened it.
"Wazzup?" He asked.
"I wanted to hang out for a while." I said, putting a smile on my face.
"Sure, come on in." I walked into his thunder-cloud house, and it almost seemed like Rainbow Dash's.
"By the way, D lives here. Don't be surprised if you get locked in her bedroom all of a sudden and then get raped." He explained. I raised an eyebrow.
"You say that as if it didn't matter." I replied. He chuckled.
"So, why did you want to 'hang out'?" He asked.
"Well, I realized that all I know about you is that you like D, can control lightning, is a badass, and that's about it." He chuckled at the last part, and something popped into my head.
"Also, I had this crazy dream last night. Trixie came back, you were an omnivore," His expression changed at that statement, "And Muffin was about to get raped." I explained.
"Uh, about the omnivore part..." He reached his hoof up and pulled his bottom lip down, revealing sharp, canine teeth. My jaw dropped.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" I asked. He let go of his lip and shrugged.
"Didn't seem important at the time." He said. I sighed.
"Anyways, tell me about yourself." I said. He nodded.
"Well, when I was born, my parents were...shocked, really. They were a bit freaked out that I could control lightning, was an omnivore, and came out a pegasus when both of my parents are unicorns." He said.
"Doesn't matter, has parents." I said. He frowned.
"Not exactly. You see, my parents were civil folk, and to them, I was a wild animal. I was a disgrace to my home, and my parents treated me as if I were some kind of freak that wasn't worth anything. I hated them, and left my home. They were so happy to hear that, so the entire town held a celebratory party in my departure. I searched quite a bit, and found a liking to Ponyville. But I didn't want to live too near the locals, so I made this house past the outskirts of Ponyville." He explained, sometimes getting a bit of a sad look on his face.
"Anyways, what about you?" He asked.
"Well, my parents were astronomers. That's were my name came from. When I was about, eh, nine or so, they were murdered by somepony. I was so frightened after that, and he tried to kill us as well, but was stopped. So my sister Starlight and I are trying to live life the best way we could. Everything was normal until that meteorite came flying. Just that one incident caused all of this different stuff to happen, and now I am friends with somepony who was a deranged psycho, one who is an omnivore, the other is the same and controls lightning, the other is a dragon-pony hybrid, one that is a combat medic that can barely do magic, another is demon-like that has the weirdest name, and the last one that can break the fourth wall in such ways that we benefit from it." I explained. I sighed. ", And then there's me, the inter-dimensional superpony with four voices in my head." I sighed, I have done a lot of that today.
"Well, at least you have friends. And that is all you could wish for." Lightning said. I heard D's voice upstairs.
"Oh, Lightning~?" She said in an all too familiar voice.
"Whoops, gotta go. Late for sexy time." Lightning said, running up the stairs.
"You do that." I said, quoting from Muffin. I walked out of the house and decided to head to Muffin's house. I took off towards his house, only to be tackled by a blue blur.
"Oof!" It said, and we landed on the ground.
"Sorry..." It was a female voice. I looked up at her as she got up.

"Please don't get hurt at me! Please..." She almost looked like she was trembling in fear.
"Whoa, whoa, who said I was going to hurt you?" I said, getting up and stretching my back.
"Well, not very many ponies like me, in fact most of them hate me..." She trailed off.
Damn, she's almost as shy as Fluttershy.
(I'd tap that.)
"Well, I was testing out my new experiment to see if my latest potion worked." She said.
"Wait, you're a scientist?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" She asked.
"You don't look like you would be a scientist." I said.
"And you don't look like the one to judge too quickly." She said.
"Well, my name is Stargazer." I said, reaching out my hoof.
"Name's Vortex. Pleasure to meet you." She shook my hoof.
"Well, what was with that experiment?" I asked.
"Well, I was trying to see if a certain potion would stimulate the senses so you would fly twice as fast than normal. Turns out, it makes you fly out of control." She said, scratching the back of her head.
{Hm... I'm going to take a look.}
Knowledge appeared in front of me, and Vortex looked very intrigued.
"How did you do that!? That was amazing!" She said.
"Oh, my apologies. I am Stargazer's smart part of the brain. You may refer to me as Knowledge." He introduced himself.
"Wow, am I insane or something? Or is a clone of you right in front of me?" She asked. I shrugged.
"Sometimes, I feel the same way."
"You aren't like any kind of pony I've ever seen!" She said. I chuckled.
"You haven't even met my friends." I said.
"Why, what are they like?" She asked.
"Well, one is part dragon, the other controls lightning, the other is an omnivore, the other lights people on fire when she stares into their eyes, the other can break the laws of the universe at will, the other is a combat medic, and the last one is from a completely different universe, and was a crazed murderer once." I said, and all through the list, Vortex's smile grew bigger and bigger.
"Oh my gosh! I have to visit your house sometime! Come by my house later, I live over there!" She pointed towards a house in the distance, over a few hills.
"Okay?" I said.
"Thanks!" She flew away, falling to the ground a few times, the potion still in affect. When she was out of sight, I pondered to myself, what the fuck just happened?

A day in the life of: Draco

Shoot for the Stars: Chapter 29: A day in the life of: Draco
Author: Burritoburger

I walked through Canterlot, with the ponies looking disgusted as ever. They didn't dare talk to me, however, for they were afraid they would catch my 'disease'. I arrived at the palace, where two royal guards waited. They didn't say anything, so I shrugged and attempted to walk in, but they unfolded their wings and stopped me in my tracks.
"Halt! What business do you have at the castle?" One of them asked.
"Good afternoon, I wish to see Princess Celestia." I replied, trying to sound like a friend, not a foe.
"What is your name?" The other one asked.
"Draco." I replied. The two guards looked at each other, and folded their wings back into place.
"Princess Celestia says you have access to the castle at all times." One said, keeping a straight face. I walked towards the door and said, "Thank you very much." I walked in to see the same old palace, the big steps with the velvet carpet below, with a few statues here and there. I walked through many corridors and hallways, progressing towards Princess Celestia's throne room. I had finally found it, and opened the door. She noticed me and smiled.
"Greetings, Draco. I have heard news that you have completed your mission." She said.
"Yes your highness. I would like to thank you for allowing us to keep our weapons." I replied. She nodded.
"But, there is one small problem." She said.
Oh, no. This can't be good.
"That problem would be?" I asked.
"Two ponies were being enslaved by your father, correct?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yes. But I don't understand what seems to be the problem. They are perfectly fine." I said.
"From local news, they are not." She said, her voice getting a bit lower. I gulped.
"Pineapple has been seen lightning ponies on fire, whether on purpose, or on accident. And D has been seen, as she calls it, seducing stallions, and then devouring certain body parts of them. In other words, those two cannot be tolerated around here, neither your friends." She explained. My eyes widened.
"What? But... They just need to get used to Ponyville better! And what have my other friends done?!" I asked.
"Bumble was a murderer once. Lightning has destroyed property of Ponyville a few times before. Stargazer has gotten into quite a few fights with Ponyville's residents. Do I even have to continue?" She said, and there was silence for a few seconds. She went on, "Unless you and your friends can stop this nonsense, you will be banished from Equestria." She finished. I nodded, and turned to leave.

I arrived at Ponyville again, and began looking around for Stargazer. But I checked everywhere, and he was nowhere to be found. I sighed, and noticed the sun was going down, and I didn't have a home. Suddenly, I heard a strange noise. Almost like... bouncing? I listened more, and it was getting closer. Soon, I found a large blue object bouncing off a ton of houses and walls. I slammed into me, but I held my position, and it stooped in front of me. It hit the ground, and it appeared to be Stargazer, looking dizzy as ever.
"Stargazer! I have been looking all over for-"
"One second." He interrupted. He looked over and threw up into a nearby bush. He looked back at me.
"You might want to be asking what that was. Well, I made a new friend." He said.
"Stargazer?" A voice said, coming around the corner of a house. I turned to see a light blue pegasus with dark blue stripes, mane and tail the same, walk around the corner. Stargazer gestured to me, and then her.
"Vortex, this is Draco, and Draco, this is Vortex." He said. I walked over and shook her hoof.
"Nice to meet you." I greeted, but her mouth was agape.
"Uh, are you alright?" I asked. She then started to flip out.
"Oh my gosh! You're half pony half dragon! That is so amazing! I love dragons! I was wondering if I could examine you!" She spatted out. I took a step back.
"All of me?" I asked.
"All of you." She repeated. I scratched the back of my head.
"Uh, maybe some other time." I said.
"Anyways! Did the test work?" She looked over at Stargazer.
"Well, it got out of hand. I couldn't control myself, and it was very nauseating. But I didn't feel any pain, so we're getting better." He said.
"That's what she said!" Vortex said, and fell back laughing. Wow. I've never met a pony like her before. It's almost as if she knows how to be the average male. Not me, however.
"Well, still, that was good." She said when she stopped laughing.
"Also, I learned how to do this!" Stargazer said, and lifted his two front hooves up. He slammed them down on the ground, and shot up towards the sky. A few seconds later, he came back down, only to shoot up again. Eventually, I flew up and caught him as he was falling down, slowing his speed. When we landed, I dropped him and he bounced a few feet off the ground a few times.
"Pretty neat, huh?" He said. He began to bounce higher, about thirty feet into the air.
"Actually, the effect is about to wear off in two seconds." Vortex said.
"What?" Stargazer said, but was interrupted by the ground coming into contact with his face. He looked up.
"'M arright." He slurred, and fell to the ground, out cold.
"We better drag him to his house." Vortex said, and grabbed one of his legs.
"Can you help me with this?" She asked.
"Not a problem." I said, and lifted him up on my back. We began to walk towards his house, and Vortex decided to start a conversation.
"So, where are you from?" She asked.
"Dracoria, the land of the dragons." I replied.
"Oh. What happened there?" She asked.
"My father was the ruler and a tyrant that wanted to take over the world. He had gained control of many lands, but the only one he had a failed attempt was at Equestria. I recently killed him, with my friends, Stargazer, Muffin, Lightning, Ruby, and Bumble." I explained.
"Wow. You must hate your dad." She said.
"All I hate now is a dead soul, and I am relieved that he is no longer part of this world." I said. Silence.
"Well, any other better memories of your past life?" Vortex asked.
"Well, I was banished from my hometown, and traveled the lands of where to find somepony that could end my father, but first, I needed to attend a school. I found one in Manehattan, but it didn't end well." I said.
"What happened?" She asked, obviously intrigued.
"Well, I was bullied for my different ways. For example..."

Flashback Time!

I walked out of the school building, for it was the end of the day. I don't think I could take this anymore. Even the teachers hate me for who I am.
"Hey, dragon butt!" I turned to see three of the usual idiots that pick on me every day.
"Please, spare me pain of listening to the worst name ever thought up, especially if it is used to resemble me." I replied. He frowned.
"You're a freak, you know that?" He added. I smirked.
"Oh, I've been completely aware of that, but have you been aware of the fact that you are the only living creature in the entire universe that has a brain the size of a molecule? I think you deserve a medal." I commented.
"Well, you deserve a pounding to the face!" He growled, and gestured to his friends, who stepped up.
"Sorry, but I have places to go, things to do. I have no business with you." I said, backing away slowly.
"What? Are you pussying out?" He asked.
"No. In fact, I believe 'pussying out' would be the wrong term for this situation." I defended.
"Doesn't matter what the situation is, it only matters if you lose." He said.
"With the brains you have, I wouldn't need to lift a hoof." I remarked. He growled, and put his hoof up. He thrusted it towards my face, knocking me head sideways. I puched him right back, harder than he did.
"You're dead!" One of his friends said, and shot his hoof towards my face. I dodged it easily, and slammed my hoof into his gut. The one behind me, however, pinned me to the ground and flipped me over. The leader got up and started laughing. The other one lifted me up, and the two held me in front of the leader. He started punching me repeatedly in the face, laughing every time his hoof connected.
"Get. Out. Of. My. FACE!" I yelled between punches. Suddenly, heat trailed up through my esophagus, and it burned. A lot. Soon enough, it reached my mouth, and I spat out fire. It torched the bully in front of me, and he looked as surprised as I was, until he started burning. He wasn't on fire, however, the fire burned him quite a bit. He was singed, and he fell back on the ground. His friends let go of me and backed away, going over towards their leader. They all had a look of shock in their faces, and one of them finally spoke up,
"W-what are you?" He asked. My surprise changed back to my normal self, as these things don't last long.
"Like you said, a freak that deserves a pounding to the face." They got up and ran off in terror. I sighed, and flew off, knowing that I would be kicked out of the school anyways. That was the first time I learned to breath fire, and I had fully developed. Developed into the monster that reflects my father.

Flashback Time over.

When I explained it to Vortex, she was almost shocked.
"You..." She started.
"Yes yes, I know. I lived a terrible life of pain and misery." I looked down.
"No! You can breath fire!" She said. I facehoofed.
"That is so cool! Well, of course you can breath fire, why wouldn't you breath fire? All dragons breath fire! I mean, come on!" She went on.
"Do the rest of your friends have powers like that?" She asked.
"Too late, we're here." I said, and she saw the house that was in view. I dragged Stargazer inside and dropped him on the sofa. His sister, Starlight, walked out of her room and saw me.
"What happened!? Is Stargazer okay?" She asked.
"He's fine, just make sure he goes to bed when he wakes up." I said.
"I don't think that will be necessary." She said, and we heard Stargazer's loud snores quickly follow.
"I can never sleep like this." she sighed.
"Well, good night." I said, and walked out of the door with Vortex.
"Hey, since you traveled the land and all, do you have a place to stay?" Vortex asked.
"No, but out of some strange chance, you probably have a spare room in your-"
"I have a spare room in my house!" She sounded a bit... excited.
"Well, okay. Shall we fly there?" I asked. She nodded. We flew over to her house, which of course would be too boring to type. Yes, this is the author talking. I am very tired right now, so there's that. Back to the story. I walked inside her house, which was filled with chemicals, supplies, and appliances.
"This is the room right here. Make yourself at home!" She said. It had a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf loaded with books.
"Thanks. Good night." I said.
"Good night!" She replied, and left the room. I climbed into the bed, and turned the lights off, drifting to sleep with many of my unforgiving memories.

Author: Burritoburger

I flew after Lightning, but his rage fueled him, and I lost him within a matter of seconds. I became exhausted, and started to slow down when trying to get there. Soon enough, I became so exhausted, I had to rest.
(Dude! Keep going! He's going to kill everypony!)
I didn't think you cared about that.
(Of course I do! Who would want to miss a dude on a rampage killing everything? This is gonna be awesome!)
{He does need some rest, Anger.}
Would you two shut up?
(Why? Don't care about us?)
No, listen.
I listened carefully, and heard a faint calling in the nearby forest. I decided to look for it. It got closer as I waded through the trees, listening. Finally, I found the source.
(Hoe. Lee. SHIT.)
{Simply amazing!}

[Can we keep it?! Please?!]
I saw a fallen tree, with half of a blue phoenix sticking out. I looked at me, with what looked like fear and hope in it's eyes. It called out towards me, this time more firm.
Hold up guys. I think it's hurt.
(You don't say?)

(No, you should sit there and do NOTHING.)
But, he's Strength...
I went around the tree to where it was facing, and pushed the tree as hard as I could off of the phoenix. He tried to fly up, but screeched in pain, and fell back down.
{I believe the tree broke one of it's wings, maybe even a leg.}
I carefully picked him up and placed him on my back. I walked out of the forest, making sure not to hurt him. At least, I think he's male.
Okay, do I get Lightning first? Or help this bird first?
(Bird.)
{Bird.}

[Bird.]
Alright.
I carefully flew towards Fluttershy's cottage, which was conveniently in sight. I knocked on the door, and the yellow mare opened it.
"Hello?" She squeaked.
"I need your help. I need to do something really quick, but I found this." I said, and gestured to the phoenix on my back.
"Oh, my! I've never seen a phoenix like this before!" She admired.
"His wing might be broken, and he is in pain. Can you take care of him for a while?" I asked.
"Oh, of course!" She carefully took him off of my back, and brought him inside.
"I need to go. Please take care of him." I said, and flew off. I headed towards Canterlot, focusing at the task at hand.

10 minute flight later...

I came into view of Canterlot, and found Lightning beating the living hell out of a crap ton of royal guards.
I shot in the fight and started tackling royal guards off of Lightning, as there were at least...
{Fifty.}
Fifty.
Between the battle, Lightning said to me,
"I thought you were going to stop me." He panted.
"No, that would cause much more trouble." I turned and smashed a royal guard into a nearby wall. "In fact, I need to talk to Celestia as well." I replied.
After a while, even more royal guards came up.
{Oh boy. At least a hundred, increasing.}
"There's too many!" I yelled. He smirked. Suddenly, he- what in the...
(Did I see what I thought I just saw?)
Lightning had morphed into a- well, a lightning bolt, and flew through the guards, shocking each one he passed. He turned back and yelled.
"LIGHT PHASING BITCHES!" He ran off, and I flew right after him, leaving the guards behind. We flew into the castle, and slammed the doors, shutting it with the wooden plank to keep the door shut. We flew off, in the regular direction the throne room was. We burst the door open, and Celestia was standing there.
"Why have you been fighting my guards?" She asked.
"Why are you loading us with this bullshit?!" Lightning asked, his rage coming back.
"Your group has caused many bad things to this place. You must-" She started.
"If it weren't for us, you'd be dead!" Silence. Lightning spoke again.
"We killed Everfree. We saved your pathetic ass from him! We shouldn't be the ones banished. Hell, one of US should be ruler, not you!" He said.
"I understand. But-"
"But what?" I spoke up.
"But we're terrorizing the town? But we're violent? But we're different. We're different from everypony else, is that it? We stand out, making us not tolerable. We're not your average ponies, and you can't except that. Well, we have saved your ass plenty of times. Now rethink whether or not different is good or bad."
"Silence!" She bellowed. "You don't belong here, neither you should've come here in the first place! You are hereby banished from-"
"SHUT UP!"
We all looked at the other side of the room, where Luna stood.
"Jeez! All we want is a nap, and what do we receive? Yelling and fighting. We do not think these ponies should be banished." Luna said.
"Luna, please." Celestia insisted.
"No! If thou banishes my friend- or rather, coltfriend- we would be ashamed!" Her head drooped. "However, Crimson hath gone missing." She said.
"Really? I never noticed." Lightning said, looking over at me. I shrugged. Celestia sighed.
"Alright. If you can find Crimson within the next hour, you will not be banished."
"Fina-fucking-lly!" Lightning slurred.
"Wait, an hour? Can't we get more time?" I asked. She smiled.
"Hour starts now." She gestured to an hourglass being flipped by her magic, coming out from behind the throne.
Lightning shot through the stained glass window, breaking it on purpose. I flew after him.
"Lightning! First, we need to get something!" I called, catching up.
"What?" He asked. I smirked.
"Something awesome." I said.

ANOTHER 10 minute flight later...

We landed back at Fluttershy's cottage. Lightning looked around.
"Why are we here?" He asked. I grinned and knocked on the door. Fluttershy opened it.
"Oh, you're back. I have bandaged his wing, but everything else is fine. Wait about a month or so, and he'll be able to fly again." She quickly explained, and ran inside to get him.
"Who's 'he'?" Lightning asked. I grinned more.
"You'll see." We waited until she brought the blue phoenix back out.
"Here you go." She said, and handed me him. I put him on my back, and Fluttershy walked back inside.. I looked at Lightning, who's jaw was hitting the floor.
"Where did you find that?!" He asked.
"Under a tree in the nearby forest." I said.
"What's his name?" He asked.
I never thought of that.
{He's not even ours!}
I looked back at the phoenix.
"Do you have any parents?" I asked. He seemed to understand, because his head drooped down as soon as I mentioned parents.
(...Cobalt! Sounds like a cool name, right?)
"His name shall be Cobalt." I said.
"Alright, well, I'm going to head to town and ask where Crimson is, alright?" Lightning said.
"Okay. I'll search outside of town." I said. He nodded and flew off. I flew away as well, admiring my new pet.

Shoot for the Stars: Chapter 32: The search for What's-his-face
Author: Burritoburger

I flew around the forest, the hills, the mountains, almost everything and couldn't find Crimson. Cobalt couldn't fly, so we couldn't maximize the search. I started calling out his name, seeing if he would answer. Nope. Not at all. I checked clouds, went at least five miles away and searched, and I lost hope about then. Besides, the sun was setting, and it was about a ten hour search, but nothing. It was way past our time, and I flew back towards Ponyville, where my friends were waiting. Only three weren't there, and that was Derpy, Rainbow Dash, and of course. Crimson. I sighed, defeated, and the rest of my friends followed me into the sunset.

Midnight

We sat by the fire, trying to warm up. Nopony said much, for there wasn't really anything to say. Finally, Lightning broke the silence.
"This isn't fucking fair!" He kicked a rock as hard as he could.
"We got banished from our home because we SAVED it. This is bullshit!"
"Lightning, calm down. We'll fix this." Draco said in a relaxing tone.
"How? We did all we could." He said.
"Would you shut up? You're the one that destroyed everything in Canterlot because they threatened to kill D and Pineapple." Muffin said, annoyance in his voice.
"Good thing they didn't. I would have ripped Celestia to shreds." He gestured to D and Pineapple, who were sitting in silence.
"Dammit, I need something to beat the crap out of." Lightning said. As if on cue, the bushes nearby rustled.
"Speak of the devil." Lightning smirked, and tackling the creature. The sound of teeth sinking into flesh was heard, and a bloodcurdling yell was heard.
"Get the fuck off of me!" It said, which sounded like a male voice.
"Lightning, get off of him." I said, not bothering to even care. He got off, and a green pony with a blue mane and tail, wearing blue clothes, was seen.
"Holy crap Stargazer, you're friend is a douche." He said.
"You're lucky I haven't smashed your face into the ground yet." Lightning growled. The pony held up his hooves.
"Watch out, we're dealing with a badass over here." He said.
"How do you know my name?" I asked, getting a bit curious, but was too busy being depressed as fuck. He looked over at me.
"You don't remember? Earth? Logan?" He asked.
My head shot up. Now I was really curious.
"Are you saying that you're-"
"Yep! And I even know where Crimson is too." He said, pulling out a laptop.
Everyone's heads shot up at that comment, and they all stared at the device.
"Crimson is in another dimension. Just like what happened to you." He said, opening the laptop.
"So, can we get there?" I asked.
"Yes, but only you and I can go." He said.
"Why?" I asked.
"That's the way this works. It will take months to program a new DNA to get more in with us, but I already had your sample and my sample." He explained.
"Wait, how are you even here?" I asked.
"Our world ended." He said simply.
"So, Logan-"
"Call me Zedro."
"...Zedro, where is Crimson? Which universe?"Draco asked.
"I have no idea." He said, and pressed a key on the laptop.
We both got enveloped in a white light, and everything started to swirl around me. Soon enough, I felt the ground, and I opened my eyes, which were shut due to nausea. I opened my eyes and we were in a bar, a wrecked one, to say the least. Zedro was standing there with his laptop, and his eyes widened.
"Oh, fuck."
"What?"
"Crimson is here, but you're consciousnesses are gone, and we are in the land of mares. Where they are always in heat. Always.
"Wait, how did you know about my consciousnesses?" I asked. He closed the laptop.
"Does it matter? We need to get your clones and Crimson, and get out of here fast!" He said.
*BANG BANG!*
"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE! I CAN SMELL YOUR DICKS IN THERE!" A voice screamed from outside.
"What the fuck?!" I yelled.
"RUN!" Zedro yelled, and he bolted towards the stairs at the end of the room. The door bursted open, and there stood...Well... Me.
She tackled my to the ground.
"I've got you now! I'm gonna fuck you all night!"
That voice... The aggressiveness...
"ANGER?!" I yelled. It was a mare, I know that. And she said things that Anger would say.
*CRASH!*
A chair hit her off of me, and I jumped to my feet, running towards Zedro who was by the stairs. We shot up the stairs, and into a door. Literally, into the door. After I fell to the ground, stars in my head, Zedro dragged me in the room, and barricaded the door with some crates.
"You can thank me later." He panted. There was a window with the curtain down. He pulled it up to reveal an almost nighttime raining setting, a cool one if you ask me. All of the mares were gathered around a big building about a block away.
"That must be where Crimson is." Zedro said as I stood up and walked over to him. He turned to me.
"I need you to go downstairs and get Anger back in your head."
"WHAT?! But she doesn't remember a thing!" I objected.
"She will once you get her in your head. She'll also became male again. I sighed, and slowly removed the crates. When the last one was moved, the door blew off it's hinges, and Anger tackled Zedro.
"I'm going to have some fun with you!" She said, licking her lips. I walked over and touched her back. I don;t know how it happened, but he went back in my head.
(Stargazer? What just happened?)
You were turned into a mare and almost raped me.
(...Did I look sexy?)
Think about how I look as a mare.
(...Sexiest thing in the world.)
I chuckled.
"Well, we had best get to the roof. We can travel on the rooftops." Zedro said.
We climbed the stairs to the top of the building, and overlooked the city.
A few of the mares down below 'smelled our dicks' and looked up at us. They started to screech with excitement, and they bursted into the building.
"And so it starts." Zedro said.

Shoot For the Stars: Chapter 33: Heat... again...
Author: Burritoburger

We jumped across the rooftops, still keeping an eye on our target. Soon enough, we were only a building away, and we noticed the horde of mares at the building we just ran out of.
"Okay, Crimson is somewhere down there, we know that." Zedro said. I looked around the crowd, trying to spot a blue coat.
"Well, I can't find any of my clones, so there's that."
(Man, this sucks!)
Zedro opened his laptop, and was strangely typing with his hooves.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"A test." He responded. A few seconds later, he smiled.
"Perfect! I got Crimson tracked."
"How?" I asked.
"Well, he is the strongest magical being here, so-" He was interrupted, getting tackled over the edge of the building.
(SHIT!)
I turned and gaped. All of the mares and counting were leaping onto the building, looking... desperate. I looked down, then back at the mares, back down.
"Fuck my life." I muttered. I jumped off the building and fell into the crowd where Zedro fell. I was punching and kicking around me, once in a while getting grabbed, and quickly recovering. Afterwards, I grabbed Zedro's arm and flew up. He looked stunned, and finally opened his eyes and looked around.
"What just happened?!" He asked worriedly. In response, I threw him down, making him plummet towards the ground.
Funny thing about humans, sometimes they forget that they have wings.
I grabbed him again, very irritated, and flew through the window on the top floor.
"Ow, my fucking head!"
"You have wings, dumbass."
"Oh. Right."
"What the hell are you two doing here?!" Somepony in the room asked. We looked up to see a white pegasus with a red and black mane and tail.
"Uh, we're here to save a pony named Crimson." I said. He glared at me.
"Alicorn? Red? White stripes?" He quickly asked.
"Uh, yes?" I wasn't very sure what was going on anymore.
"I know where he is." He held his hoof out. "My name is Phoenix Flame. You can call me Phoenix." I shook his hoof.
"My name is Stargazer, and this is Zed...ro?..." I looked to his shoulders, where two small versions of him stood. They apparently noticed this and looked right back at me.
"Oh, he's lookin' at you, White!" The other one said. The only difference I found was that one of them, the one that just spoke, had a black fireball for a cutie mark, and the other one had a white fireball.
"Uh, what are those?" I asked. Phoenix looked to his shoulders.
"You can see them?" He asked.
"Well, they're bright as day, can't you see them, Zedro?" I asked. He looked at me, and back at Phoenix.
"Am I missing something?" He asked.
"Y'know what? Forget this. I want to go home. And not just because I'm stuck in the land of the mares.
(Okay, I need to see this.)
A few seconds later, Anger appeared on my shoulder, and whistled.
"Awesome. I could get used to this." He looked around the room. I sighed.
"Okay, where's Crimson?" I asked.
"He ran towards town square. Something about saving something special?" He said.
"Well, let's get over there!" I walked towards the window.
"Not so fast. Look at the clouds." Phoenix said. I looked up at the clouds. Look at that, on top of each one were pegasi, ready to plummet down and rape any unsuspecting stallion. Wow.
"So, what do we do?" I asked.
"That's the point. I have no idea." He responded.
"Zedro?" I asked.
"The only way we're getting out of here is through the back door. If there is one."
"Hey, I barricaded this door for a reason." Phoenix said in the background.
"So now, our next option is to... fuck it."
"Hey, what kind of fucking are we talking about?" I asked.
"We need to run out there, and not get raped." Zedro said.
"That sounds easier than seems." Phoenix said.
"I want to get out of here. I'm going." I said.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yeah... This wasn't my best chapter.
PhoenixFire, if Phoenix is out of character, sorry, I didn't read your entire story.

Lightning's Point of View

I watched as Stargazer and Zedro disappeared in a blinding light.
"What now?" Asked Muffin.
"How am I supposed to know? I'm very confused is all." I said.
"I dunno what to do either. Do we just wait for them?" Vortex asked.
"Hold on a moment. Stargazer explained to me once that with the right velocity, you can travel through dimensions?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, but it goes to some random universe, you don't necessarily pick, do you?" I asked.
"Actually, I have been studying how to travel to different universes, and there is a way to go to the universe you want." Vortex said.
"Well?" Muffin asked.
"I have no idea."
Muffin sighed, and disappeared. Vortex looked around.
"What just-"
"Give him a second." Draco interrupted. A few seconds later, Muffin appeared again, a cannon right next to him.
"It's best to start somewhere, right? Besides, I'm getting bored." He said, and went into the cannon, holding a string attached to the other end.
"No, wait!" Draco yelled. Too late. Muffin shot out of the cannon, and I have to say, that is one badass cannon. He disappeared into almost a ripple in the sky, then it was gone.
"Well, shit. Now what?" Bumble asked.
I shrugged and got in the cannon.
"Not you too." Draco said.
"Yep." I replied, and pulled the string. I shot out at major speeds, and it almost felt like my flesh was falling right off. There was no use pulling out my wings, because they would have been ripped off anyways. Suddenly, darkness. I hit something, and opened my eyes. I looked around and smirked.
"Now I know how Stargazer feels." I muttered, and began walking. It looked like the exact same place I was at before, about a mile away from Ponyville. I decided to fly there, and nothing looked very out of the ordinary. Until I started asking around. I saw Derpy, and knew something was wrong instantly.
"Do you know where Stargazer is?" I asked.
"Stargazer is located in Canterlot, Victory Lane, 1648. He is a widely known as Equestria's most famous pony, due to recent discoveries, inventions, and the best of all, the telescope. It is about 3:45 today, and he should be in his house, taking a beauty sleep."
My eye twitched.
This place sucks.
"Thanks?" I said slowly. I flew off towards Canterlot, Victory Lane, 1648. Apparently. On the way there, I saw a jail, with a familiar shadow behind the bars. I looked around and looked inside. The figure turned and looked at me.
"Go away!" It yelled. It looked a lot like Bumble, except Bumble doesn't have a scar across his face, and he isn't in jail.
"Who did this to you?" I asked.
"Stargazer." He replied. "Stargazer put me behind bars. He gave me this scar, he put me here, and I killed him! But nooo, there's always a catch. He is still alive, I know it. He didn't die, his technology is too great. He put me behind these FUCKING BARS!" He yelled.
"Bumble! It's me, Lightning Streak!"
"Hah. Impossible. I killed him just like I killed Stargazer."
"What the fuck are you talking about?!" I yelled. He started cackling maniacally.
"I killed you. And Stargazer. And Ruby. And Muffin. And everyone ELSE! You aren't alive, you're back at the mining center, the one to find the diamonds. I FUCKING KILLED YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE!"
*ZAP!*
He fell to the ground, unconscious. Bitch.
I flew away, already regretting coming here.

Muffin's Point of View

I fell on the ground and opened my eyes. Three, um, Stargazers turned and looked at me.
"Yo." I said.
One looked like our Stargazer, the one that went with Zedro. He's Stargazer 1. The other looked bigger, older, and had a scar on his right eye. Stargazer 2. The last one looked fancy, as if he were from Canterlot. Stargazer 3. Looking around, I was in a cell of sorts. Perfect.
"How did you get here?!" Stargazer 1 asked.
"Well, i shot myself out of a cannon.
"You're Muffin, correct?" Stargazer 2 asked.
"Well, my name isn't Cupcake, so, why not?" I joked.
"This is not a time for joking. We're trapped here, they're keeping us hostage, and they want us to give them our... powers... or something!" Stargazer 1 explained.
"I like the jokes. It makes me feel as if we aren't being held against our will were we will most likely get killed just for coming here." Stargazer 2 said.
"Well, I think we should escape. This dust on the ground is very unnerving." Stargazer 3 said.
"Okay, I'm confused. What's going on?"
"Shh." Stargazer 2 said.
A black pony walked in, black mane and tail, with blood red eyes.
"Oh? Looks like a newcomer. Here's your food." He opened a part of the cell and dropped the mush and smudge that was on a plate. He laughed as he left, and Stargazer 2 grabbed the tray. With perfect timing, he threw it in between the door and door frame. It held the door open a crack.
"Why'd you do that?" Stargazer 1 asked.
"The door locks as soon as it closes." He said. He slowly breathed inhaled, and exhaled. He turned into what looked like a light blue ball, and went right through the bars, and popped out on the other side, blue sparkles exploding outward.
"What was-"
"Light phasing. Lightning will teach it to you later on." He went over to the cell door and opened it.
"How did you-"
"Unlock the door? It can only be opened from the outside."
We stepped out, and Stargazer 2 peered through the crack of the door.
"Okay, we might have a bit of a problem." Stargazer 2 said.
"And that would be?" Stargazer 3 asked.
"Guards. Guards everywhere."

Running from reality... and rape

Shoot for the Stars: Chapter 35: Running from reality... and rape
Author: The Great And Powerful Burritoburger

Warning: Massive amounts of swearing in this chapter.
Warning: No fucks were given to either of these warnings.

FUCK!
I was flying away as fast as I could, a shitload of mares right behind me the entire time.
(DUDE! YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THEM OFF!)
FUCK NO! I'LL GET RAPED!
(FOCUS! YOU'LL BECOME A BADASS AND KICK THEIR ASSES!)
FUCK THAT!
I continued to fly towards the center of town where Crimson is located, dodging buildings and mares on my way there. I turned around to see a cerulean pegasus with a multicolored mane and tail...
Shit.
She instantly tackled me in midair, sending me towards the Earth and causing a crater inside.
"I'm gonna have fun with you!"
FUCK!
She leaned in and started to kiss me, her tongue going around in my mouth as if it were doing a performance at a circus.
(Dude, you're weird.)
Well, you're me.
(I know.)
Suddenly, a red body tackled her off, and instantly grabbed me and took off towards the sky.
"Crimson!"
"You shouldn't have come here." He replied.
"Why the fuck did you leave us like that?! We got kicked out of Equestria, you jackass!" I screamed.
"I'm not going home." He responded.
"WHAT?!"
"I am now traveling through dimensions on my own. I am not going home. So forget it!"
He launched me away with all of his force. I tried to slow down.
"WAIT!" I yelled back. "WHAT ABOUT LUNA?!" He stopped and turned around.
"What?"
"I said, what about Luna?" I repeated, us flying closer so we wouldn't have to scream.
"I didn't think she cared I was gone." He said.
"She is nothing without you, Crimson. I can't believe you're too stupid to see that anyways."
"DUDE! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" Zedro yelled as he flew towards us, followed by Phoenix.
"Zedro, you go home. Phoenix, come with me." I ordered. Phoenix smirked.
"Yeah, right. Like I'm going to follow your orders."
"Down there right now is over a hundred mares ready to fuck you like never before. I am from a different dimension. Your choice." I said. He put his hoof to his chin.
"Fine." He said finally, and Zedro stepped in.
"Wait, what about you?!" He asked nervously.
"I'm getting these two out of here without having to wait for weeks."
"Dude, no way-" Before he could finish, I opened his laptop and pressed a random button. I must have been lucky, because he disappeared soon after I pressed it.
"Okay. I need you two to travel so fucking fast that it hurts. Got it?" I asked. They nodded.
"Go." I said. They flew off.
(Wow. Aren't you the big hero.)
I try.
(I was being sarcastic.)
I looked down at the ground. There weren't very many pegasi, so I knew this would come in handy.
"HEY! I'M NOT COMING DOWN, SO COME UP!" I bellowed. At least half of the crowd jumped up and flew towards me. Why they didn't earlier, I don't know.
(Bro. Concentrate. Hard.)
Ugh. Fine.
I concentrated slowly, and closed my eyes. Again, I focused on Derpy, all the sweet memories. All the fun times we had together. I wonder if she wants foals...
(DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT YET! BESIDES, YOU DID IT!)
I opened my eyes and looked down at myself. The same blue aura was emanating from my body.
*WHUMP*
I was tackled again, getting pinned to the ground, AGAIN, and it was Rainbow Dash, AGAIN. It also appeared that the 'blue aura' was just double the pleasure for the pony that appears to be RAPING ME!
I punched her in the side of the face, sending her into a wall nearby. I flew back up, headbutting anypony who came near me as I shot up. I stopped in midair, watching all the pegasi trying to get me. The point is, I need to find three certain clones of mine.
(Wait, dude, do you hear that?)
What?
(Listen closely.)
I listened very carefully and heard a female voice whispering.
"Trajectory 17... momentum 2... velocity 45... target 26 feet... wing power 65..."
Knowledge?
(Yup. You're about to be tackled.)
*WHUMP*
COME ON!
I got tackled in midair, AGAIN, and went flying into a shed of sorts, where Knowledge locked the door.
"I don't usually do this, but it is the hormone season after all." He... uh.... She said. I got up.
"Shut up. I wanna go home." I touched him-HER, and she-HE went back in my brain.
{What? What happened?}
(Welcome back! You nearly raped yourself!)
{...Oh... Was I sexy?}
Anger burst out laughing.

"Is the boy ready?"
"Which one, sir?"
"Both of them!"
"Well, subject one is ready, subject two needs to adapt more."
"Good. I want subject one brought in. Make a replacement, so his friends won't come looking."
"What about subject two, sir?"
"All in good time. I want him captured immediately after his return."
"Yes sir."
"And, Nightshade?"
"What is it, sir?"
"If you mess this up, I will tear you limb from limb and feed your carcass to the most beastly creature in the world. Are we clear?"
"Yes sir."
"Excellent. Leave my presence and get the job done."
"Yes sir."

"Oh, she's beautiful, Orion." Starfire said to her husband, holding the baby.
"Yes she is." Orion replied.
"Alright, just sign this paper and you can take your baby boy home." The doctor handed them a paper, and they both looked at him, puzzled.
"Boy?" Orion asked.
"Yes. your son. He's a boy." The doctor continued. They looked down at the foal and pulled the blanket out slightly to see his ever so tiny d*ck.
"Oh. Right. I knew that." Orion replied. He then took the pen in his mouth and signed the slip.
"Thank you for everything." Starfire said as they walked out of the building with their son, Stargazer.
"I could've sworn he was a girl." Orion whispered.
"Does it matter? We have a son!" Starfire whispered back.

Two years later

"Yes, I would like to enroll Stargazer to your school here." Orion gestured to Stargazer standing next to him, admiring the room.
"Mr. Orion, he is only two. He can't even speak! He will be with kids three times his age!" The principal informed.
"Yes, I know. But I am too busy with work, we can't watch over him all the time. Besides, we want him to learn as much as he can as early as he can take." Orion argued.
"You are making quite a mistake, he can get bullied, he may fail, he won't-"
"Can he attend or not?" Orion interrupted. the principal stopped, and sighed.
"Fine. He will be in miss Daisy's class. School starts tomorrow."
"Thank you so much! You won't regret it."
"I already am." She responded.

The next day

Orion walked Stargazer towards the school, wondering if this was a good idea or not. The school was in sight, and Orion decided to talk to his son first.
"Okay buddy, this is your first day of school. Don't be afraid, it's just going to be a little tough, okay? Do you remember where Miss Daisy's class is?" Stargazer nodded slowly, looking as if he was going to be sick.
"Okay. Here it is. You have a good day, okay?" He nodded again. "Okay. Goodbye." Orion said, and walked away. Stargazer gulped. He didn't know what school was, but it seemed as if he was going to be around many older kids. He walked inside, and went down the hall leading to the room that he memorized. He gulped again and walked inside. As soon as the door opened, everypony in their seats turned and stared at him.
"Oh! Hello! Class, this is Stargazer. He is a bit younger though, so don't be too harsh." Apparently, Miss Daisy missed the fact that every student in the room had thoughts of pummeling the idiotic "Stargazer" as evil looks were in their eyes, and they pounded hooves.
"Why don't you take a seat right there, Stargazer?" Miss Daisy asked. He walked over and sat down in the seat. The student next to him leaned over and whispered to him,
"you're dead, dweeb!" Stargazer instantly felt nauseous, and threw up.

Author: Starts with 'B' ends with 'urritoburger'.

"He can't handle this! He is a very small child that, again, doesn't know how to speak!" the principal argued with Orion.
"I swear, he will attend this school whether you like it or not. I am paying money to do this, even when I am to the brink of losing my job. I barely care whether he wants to, just let him attend the school!" Orion argued back.
"I can't do anything about it if he gets a black eye every time he leaves, bullying cannot be handled here! He won't even be able to understand half of what the teacher says!"
"Listen, he understood where the classroom was. He understood that this would be difficult. He understood that he would go to a school where he would learn, and I bet he just as well understands what I am trying to get at. It is his choice now." Orion put finally. "He decides whether he goes to school or not." He stopped, took a breath, and walked outside, where Stargazer was sitting in a chair, observing the room. A small thought went through Orion's head, one that said, What the hell am I thinking? He's only two, this is the youngest anypony ever went to school. He probably won't get anything the teacher is saying.
He sighed.
"Stargazer. You have a choice now. Do you want to go to school, or not?" Orion asked. He seemed to be lost in thought for a second, and finally nodded. Orion walked back into the office and said to the waiting principal,
"He says yes. But I want him to go tomorrow, I need to talk to him, get his spirits up." Orion said. The principal rubbed his temples.
"Whatever. I'm going to get a massage." She said, and walked out of the office. School ended half an hour ago, and there were no more students in the building. Orion took stargazer and left.

The next day

Stargazer walked into the classroom, confident. He sat as his seat while all of the students were still staring at him, having the same thoughts every time. But class continued, and Stargazer still felt very confident.
"Alright class, does anypony know what 2 plus 3 is?" The teacher asked. Stargazer's hoof shot up first, and the teacher called on him. He wrote the number 5 on a sheet of paper and lifted it up so the teacher could see.
"Very good Stargazer! The answer is five." The class continued, with the simple ask and answer routine held in the class.

3 weeks later

"Hey, loser!" Stargazer turned towards whoever called out to what appeared to be him.
"It's your daily beatdown, and I'm feeling extra eager to do it." The leader said. Stargazer did his daily routine at this point, and that was to run away, even though he knew it was pointless. In less than twenty seconds, Stargazer got tackled and pinned to the ground, where he couldn't do a single thing about it. They constantly punched him in the face, over and over, until blood was pouring out of his nose, and his face was covered in bruises. The entire time, Stargazer kept a stern look on his face, not shedding a single tear of pain, nor sadness. He had gotten used to this "daily beatdown' and never cried.
"Lucky you, you get a bonus." He punched him in the gut, causing Stargazer to throw up directly in his face. He stumbled back and wiped his face off.
"You're dead, dweeb!" Stargazer got up and started running, no, sprinting towards wherever seemed reasonable. He saw a rock sitting on the ground and grabbed it while running. He turned around for a split second and threw it at his pursuer's eye, causing him to stumble back. With that, Stargazer flapped his wings once, giving him enough momentum to scale the fence. All of the bullies were earth ponies, and they were too small to climb the fence.
"Next time you won't be so lucky, loser!" The bully yelled after him. Stargazer just stuck his tongue out at him and walked away, towards his house.

3 years later

(Stargazer's view btw)

I focused all of my energy on the one thing keeping my mind flowing. The enemy I needed to defeat. What would happen if this brutal creature was not defeated, you ask? Utter chaos. Maximum destruction. Total annihilation. Nothing can stop me, as I wield the legendary weapon, which binds all of the universe's power into one mighty object. All of my stats are perfect, this enemy will be nothing but a slice of pie. But more keep coming, from the endless void that is-
*RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIING*
"Any questions left are for homework! You are all dismissed!" Miss Daisy called out to the class after the bell rang.
I quickly shoved the paper into my backpack and was about to leave until,
"Stargazer! I forgot to give you your test. Excellent job." I turned around to see Miss Daisy holding onto my test paper from last week. I took it from her hoof to see a big red "100" on the front, next to my name.
"Thank you." I replied, and hurried out the door. I tried my best to look excited to leave, but inside, I wanted to run from those three bullies that have picked on me ever since I was two years old. We're still in the same grade, even though I'm six years below them.
"Hey doofus!" a familiar voice called out.
"NOPE!" I yelled back, and went airborne, leaving the two idiots behind. Unfortunately, one had wings.
He shot up and grabbed me before I could even realize what was going on. He dragged me to the ground where I hit the pavement really hard.
Really.
"That's a new one. Flying away as if it were nuthin'." the leader said. e smirked and smacked me in the face.
"Well, we plan on killing you today. Any last words?"
I gulped. These guys always meant business, but even they wouldn't' kill me.
...Right?
The leader picked me up, away from the pegasus, and put me against a rock, where he smashed my head into it. Searing pain shot through my head all the way down my spine, and I felt warm blood streaming from the back of my head.
"Yo, boss! Somepony's coming! I don't think they see us yet!" The other one said. The leader didn't even say anything more, he just picked me up and took me into the nearby forest.
"They're gone." He said.
"Perfect." The leader turned to me, "We heard about you bein' some kinda genius, that you're smarter than famous people. Well we don't take kindly to nerds around here, runt." He punched me in the face again until saying,
"Goodnight little one." He threw me into a tree, where it split in half, coming directly into contact with my head. I could hear them snickering and walking away, as my vision slowly faded, and I weeped silently for a few seconds until, nothing.

I always find myself in these situations.
(RUN FASTER!)
"I'M TRYING GODDAMMIT!" I yelled out loud, running away from these crazed mares. It seemed as if the city was like a wasteland, filled with mares that probably tore it apart just to find one stallion. I bet even a young colt would satisfy these bitches.
{Wait! I see Strength!}
I turned and indeed, saw a mare copy of myself, literally charging through the crowd, knocking them all to the side. When he/she was the last one chasing, I stopped and smirked.
"Boop." I said as I touched his(her) snout and he+she disappeared. I turned and flew away before any of the others could chase me again.

{You nearly raped yourself.}

(You became a mare and nearly fucked yourself.)
<...Was I sexy?>
(Okay, this is getting old.)
When I found a satisfactory hiding spot, I peered out into the crowd of mares.

I scanned the area.
I don't see any forests.
{Behind you.}
I turned around.
"Oh yeah. I knew that."
{Idiot.}
I walked off towards the forest, away from the ruined city. It took at least two minutes to get to the forest, and I walked in slowly, to be tackled by a blue blur.
(That was easy.)
"YOU'RE MI-"
"Shaddup." I then punched himher in the face, having him disappear.
"I've always wanted to do that." I said, getting up.
[Ugh...What happened?]
{No time to explain.Let's g-}
Was I sexy?

I shot towards the skies, feeling all my strength rush over me as the cone formed around me and slowly got thi-
*WHUMP!*
A body tackled me and I skidded on the ground, with her on top of me.
(Man, they got us! We're screwed!)
"Hello Stargazer." My eyes widened. It was a male voice, and I recognized it.
"I'm going to have to take you to my master. You are required for his rule of all universes.
(Wat.)
"Who the hell are you?!" I yelled. He flipped me around so I could see the black pegasus.
"Are you ready? I'm about to replace your life in the blink of an eye." He said. He slowly morphed his body shape and colors to look exactly like me, while cackling. Even his voice changed to mine as he was cackling.
"And now, you meet the master." He said. He moved his hoof across the air, in which a tear appeared. The tear grew bigger and revealed a black and red vortex, and it sucked both of us in.
"No you don't!" I yelled.

Oblivion stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Nightstreak to return. As he waited, he looked over his plan in his head. Soon, he can leave this feeble body and enter a stronger one, one that can destroy Equestria, and even more. It could alter the physics of time and space. And all he needs is the boy.
without warning, the vortex appeared and Nightstreak fell out, holding onto Stargazer. He had a gag around his mouth, and muffled screams were coming from his mouth.
"You have him. Good. And I see you already made the switch. You have proven loyal to me, Nightstreak. Now, take the boy to the cell." I ordered, and he nodded. Stargazer, the one with the gag was constantly shaking his head as Nightstreak left the room.

<><><><><><><><>

Man, being a guard sucks.
I am sitting here, standing guard to a cell that doesn't even have a prisoner. Even Stargazer, the special kid was supposed to be in another area, but I have to guard what closely resembles a closet. Worst job ever.
then I heard hoofsteps coming from the hallway. Nightstreak, who changed his appearance into the boy, was bragging him towards the abandoned cell.
"Hey wait, didn't The Master tell you to put Him in the other cell?" I asked, getting curious.
"Um- yes, but he changed it at the last minute. There is no way he can escape." Nightstreak said.

"Um, okay, sure. Go ahead." I replied, feeling a bit uneasy.

Knowledge. Go to the right cell. Alright?

{I am teleporting there now...}

Nightstreak left, leaving Stargazer in the cell.
Oh well, at least I have something to guard.
There were muffled screams coming from behind me, which was the cell.
"Hey, shut up back there! You have no reason to talk anyways." I called.

I appeared in what looked like the correct cell, at least it looked like it anyways.
"Now I just need to stay calm and wait." I said to myself.
After a few minutes of waiting, a guard came in and put a plate in my cell, which had a strange gooey substance on it. The guard left, and I threw the plate to the side. I wouldn't need to eat it, I won't be in here long. Now I just need to act not as smart... Hey! It's already working!

<><><><><><><><>

Stargazer pressed the button, and in a blinding light, I appeared back in front of my newfound friends.
"Zedro! You're back!" Vortex said.
I smiled, and looked around.
"Hey, where's Muffin and Lightning?" I asked.
"They took off using what we call Muffin's Uber Cannon." D said.
*WHUMP!*
Two bodies landed on Vortex, one large, another smaller.
"Crimson!" Everypony yelled, in which most of them hugged him. Phoenix looked confused, and shrugged.
"Crimson!" He copied, and hugged him as well.
"Everyone, this is Crimson. Crimson, this is everyone." I announced. All our friends were walking up to him, shaking his hoof, introducing himself. I looked around. All we need now is Stargazer, Muffin, and Lightning.

<><><><><><><><>

I flew along the path towards Stargazer's house. Bumble really freaked me out, and I don't want to even know what's up with him. I finally found the place and knocked on the door. While I waited, I admired the manor, one of the biggest buildings here, other than the castle, of course. Wait-Where is the castle?!
It's true, the castle was nowhere to be seen. I looked around more and finally saw it. It was not as big as before. Instead, it was about the same size as Stargazer's mansion that has it's door opened showing a young stallion with a fancy suit on.
"I'm sorry, but Stargazer is not taking any autographs at the moment." He said.
"Sorry buddy, but I have to see him." I said, trying to walk past him.
"No! You cannot enter here if you do not have a scheduled appointment!" He interjected. I slowly shook my head.
"You asked for it." I brought my hoof up to his shoulder.
"What are you-"
*BZZZT!*
He fell to the ground, unconscious. Man, I love these powers.
I walked over his shocked body, and unsuccessfully navigated the manor, looking for the room Stargazer was in.
"What is this, a freaking Labyrinth?" I asked myself. After a few minutes of walking around, I found the only room I hadn't opened yet. I knocked on it and opened the door.
"Hello? Stargazer?"
"Yes?"
"What?!"
My eyes widened. There were two. One looked really fancy schmansy and the other looked older, more fit. He had a scar across his left eye.
"Uh, hi? I'm Lightni-" I was interrupted by a blinding light and the two disappearing.
That's it.
I flew out of the nearby window at my fastest speed.
So much it hurts!

<><><><><><><><>

I sat in the cell, getting bored. And all of a sudden, a bright light appeared and two ponies came, one that looked like the alternate Stargazer, and another one, older, more fit, had a scar on his left eye.
What would Stargazer say?!
"Yo." I said.
I facehoofed inside.
"Listen Stargazer, we're here to help you." The older said.
*FLASH!*
We turned to the other "FLASH!" that filled the room and found Muffin. He looked over the three of us.
"Yo." He said.

<><><><><><><><>

"Are we ready?" Vortex asked.
"Yes. Do you have the potions ready?" I asked. Vortex giggled.
"Of course, Draco. Why wouldn't I?" She asked.
"Okay. Now," I turned to all of my "friends." I believe I can call them that now, especially because of all we've been through. "Without thew help of Muffin, Stargazer, and Lightning, we can't do much. But we can still get Crimson back. Now, D and Pineapple. No killing. We don't want to set an even bigger conflict between us and Celestia. Got it?" They frowned, but nodded.
"Alright. Bumble, I know you can control yourself. But Celestia might want to kill us, so I want you with me at all times." He nodded, grinning.
"Alright? Everyone ready? Crimson?"
"You bet!" He said, smiling.
"Alright. Vortex, give us all a dose." I said. She handed out the potions, and we all drank ours.
"I don't feel any different." Phoenix said.
"It's supposed to do that. You are actually five times stronger, trust me." Vortex explained.
"Alright. Let's go." I ordered. We moved towards the new Canterlot wall, created by Celestia after we were banished.
"Zedro. Phoenix. Bumble. Crimson. Fly above, get to Celestia first." I ordered. They nodded and flew up. I faced the group.
"Everyone ready?" They all nodded. I nodded and turned around. I raised my hooves.
*SMASH!*
I blew apart an entire chunk of the wall and debris shot everywhere. We all gaped. I turned to Vortex.
"Very efficient!" She grinned.
"CHARGE!" D yelled. We all ran in, tackling any guard that got near us, making our way to the castle.

Meanwhile...

We arrived in front of the castle tower and peered through the window, where Celestia and Luna were having an argument.
"How could you do that, sister! They were trying their hardest to find Crimson, and you just made it harder on them!" Luna yelled.
"They were foals! They were causing too much damage to this place, they deserve it!"
"They were innocent ponies! Stargazer, one of which who is actually interested in studying the night sky, had a perfectly normal life! As soon as he SAVED EQUESTRIA from the meteorite, his life was utter chaos! You cannot blame him for the damage he accidentally caused!"
"Luna, please! I banished them for a reason!"
"What reason was that?! Not only did you banish innocent ponies, you banished Crimson, whom I wished to marry!" She yelled back.
"Marry?" Crimson whispered.
"Sister, you-"
"I am not your sister anymore." She bolted out of the room, tears flowing down her eyes.
"Aw, forget this!" Bumble said out loud. He smashed all of us through the window, causing a surprised Celestia to jump.
"What are you doing here?! Leave at onc-"
"You better shut up. Or I'll slit your neck." Bumble said from behind her, all of a sudden. She gulped.
"Dude, I'm gonna find Luna. Get her in a better mood." Crimson whispered to me.
"Okay. Wait, wha-"
Too late. He already bolted out the door.
The funny thing is, Phoenix had no idea what he was doing with this.
*WHUMP!*
"Ow." I looked over at Stargazer, who flew through the window.
"Stargazer!" I yelled.
"What's up?" He asked.
"You found Crimson. However, you are still banished from here!" Celestia said.
"No we're not." stargazer said.
"Why, then?" Celestia asked.
"Do you know someone by the name of Oblivion?" He asked. Celestia's eyes widened, her mouth agape.
"Y-Yes. He destroyed Equestria years ago, when I was a little filly. My parents were killed, and I stopped him after unlocking the secrets of magic. He has been stuck in between universes since far before Nightmare Moon." She then glared at Stargazer.
"How do you know about him?" She asked.
"Well, I kinda killed him." He said.
"What?!" Celestia's mouth was even more agape.
"Yep. I even have something to prove it." He revealed the head of a white unicorn with a black and grey mane.

MEEN-Y-UL

I ran through the corridors of the castle, trying to find Luna. Finally, I found one were there was crying on the other side. I didn't even knock, I opened the door. Luna was sitting on her bed, crying. She didn't even notice that I walked in, so I slowly went over and hugged her from behind. She slowly turned her head.
"Crimson!" She yelled in delight. She turned around and hugged me back, tears still flowing down her face.
"I missed you so much! Where have you been?!" She asked, sobbing.
"Thinking about you." I responded. "So, is it true that you want to marry me?" I asked.
"Oh, you heard that?" She asked, her cheeks flushing.
"Yes. And I would like to say: Definitely. I will definitely marry you." I said. She smiled, and hugged me again.
____________________________________________________________________________
WOW that was the cheesiest thing I ever wrote.
Now you're probably sitting on your ass, like, what the fuck just happened?
Well, that will be explained in the next chapter!
Also, I have decided that I will put a Fact at the end of each chapter, mostly about the chapter, or Shoot for the Stars in general.
So!
Fact: ultrasponge and I were talking once, and I accidentally called Pineapple "Coconut." Hilarity ensued. After that, when I type Pineapple's name, I find myself typing "Coconut" instead. I catch myself just barely, and name her Pineapple instead.
Until next time!

THE FINALE OF FINALES

Shoot for the Stars: Chapter 39: THE FINALE OF FINALES
Author: Burritoburger
Yes, I am ending Shoot For The Stars.

Muffin's POV

After Stargazer 3 unlocked the door, we all filed out of the cell, one by one. We didn't know exactly what to do, there were a FUCKTON of guards out there, and Lightning wasn't here.
"Muffin, can't you break the interdimensional intercourse?" Stargazer 1 asked. I raised an eyebrow.
"You mean the fourth wall?" I asked. He smiled sheepishly after realizing what he just said.
"Yeah, that's what I meant. Can you get some contraption that uses gunpowder and can possibly ignite with a large amount of explosions?" He asked.
"You mean something similar to a bazooka?" I asked.
"Yeah!" He nodded, smiling.
"As you wish, Knowledge." I then appeared behind the fourth wall, leaving Knowledge to sit there and feel retarded for letting out his entire plan in two sentences.
Basically, breaking the fourth wall wasn't really breaking anything, except you can see the audience (Hi, Burritoburger.) and get anything you want in existence. It was like a computer room, actually. You just search up what you want, and if it isn't total gibberish, it should appear right in front of you. I went to the computer and typed in "bazooka". A moderately sized RPG appeared in front of my, and I smirked, grabbing hold of it. I jumped down the pit leading back to the real world.
"I'm here." I said. Before anyone could say anything, I threw the door open and shot the weapon.

Oblivion's POV

Hmm... something seems off...
I sat in my chair, looking over everything in my head. But something seemed of about Nightstreak. When did he have a gog on him? I told him to take the boy and come back as soon as possible.
"Sir?" A voice asked. I turned and saw Nightstreak still in the boy's form.
"Nightstreak! I was just wondering about you. And why are you still in the boy's form?" I asked, looking him over.
"Uh, I have to get used to this body, sir." He replied.
"Sir? You might want to see this." Another voice opened the door and told me. I got up from my chair and walked towards the door leading to the camera room. There were many cameras around the whole base, to monitor everything. One of them caught my eye, and that was also the one the camera pony was pointing at. The cell was there, containing... three Stargazers and another pony? One of them looked towards the camera and punched it, causing it to fuzz.
"Take a look at this one too, sir."
He changed the camera and it showed another cell with another Stargazer with a gag around his mouth, smashing into the cell door.
"What?" I asked.
Okay, I need to piece this together.
One cell, the correct one, hold three different Stargazers, each one looking different. There was also another pony, I don't know who that was. In another cell, the gagged Stargazer which Nightstreak brought in is screaming his face off. I never gave Nightstrak a gag in the mission.
"Uh, sir. the Stargazer might have cloned himself, like you said he could." Nightstreak said.
Yes, but that doesn't add up. Why is he in the wrong cell? Unless the real one is in the wrong cell and the clone is in the right one. But why? Studies have shown that he can choose were they go, they can basically teleport once. Why in another cell?
Suddenly like that, it all came to place. The gag, the cells, the two different Stargazers in different cells. Nightstreak is-
BOOM!
I turned around to see stargazer running out the door and out into the hallway. I chuckled.
"He's a smart pony." I flew after him, easily catching up. He turned a corner, and I missed. Down the hall, however, were many of my minions on the floor, unconscious.
He is so DEAD!
Metaphorically.

Stargazer's POV

CRAP! My cover's blown!
I was shooting through a series of hallways, with this bitch following me everywhere!
I turned my head back in front of me and quickly turned to the left, my wingtips brushing against the wall.
I need to find Knowledge!
*BOOM*
I shot towards the second explosion, which seemed to be down another hallway, Oblivion still right behind me.
*BBZT!*
There is too much shit happening at once.
Lightning appeared out of nowhere from a flash, and he collided into Oblivion, smashing him into a wall. I didn't hesitate as I went down the other hallway, and smashed into three other Stargazers and Muffin. Who was, apparently, holding an RPG. Huh.
"We need to get out of here!" The older one yelled, running away from the guards proceeding towards us. Upon coming into contact with Knowledge, he disappeared.
{Follow the older Stargazer. He can get us out of here.}
I ran towards the older version of me, running ahead of everyone and grabbing Lightning, who was in a heated battle with Oblivion, and neither of them were really winning.

Oblivion's POV

Dammit! These peasants are more smarter than I thought...
A wicked grin formed on my face. Nothing will stop me from my destiny. I casually strolled down the next hallway, with the cell that contained Nightstreak. I opened the cage and took his gag off.
"Master! The boy has-"
"I know." I interrupted, "I need you to steal the boy's life." I said.
"But, sir!"
Before he could finish, I teleported us to the main room, where the boy jumped through a portal.
"Go. You know your mission." I said to Nightstreak, and he nodded. Just before the vortex evaporated into nothing, he jumped inside, leaving me to clean up this whole mess.

Stargazer's POV

We jumped out the other end of the portal and saw Canterlot being, well, overrun. By who? I don't know.
"Hey- MMPH!" I started until a hoff came from behind me and covered my mouth, pulling me into the trees.
"You're going to see the Master, whether you like it or not." The fake me said. He then smashed my head against the side of a tree, knocking me out cold instantly.

To be continued... sorta...

Late night astronomy

Chapter 1: Late night astronomy

I walked into my bedroom, which was very cramped and only had a bed, a desk, a window, and a closet. I slumped into my bed. Today was exhausting. If Derpy hadn't of dropped all that mail on the way to Canterlot, we would have been done hours ago. I wasn't mad at her, though. I let the cushion of my bed encase my thoughts as I drifted asleep...

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADER ASTRONOMERS YAY!" I bolted up from my bed and looked at the clock that was on my desk. 1:26 A.M. I rubbed my eyes and forced myself from my bed and opened the door. The door next to mine, my sister Starlight's door opened up and she peeked her head out. She looked down the stairs and then looked at me.
"You deal with it." She said. Her door closed and she went back to sleep. I walked down the stairs and into my living room, where Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom were trying to find out how my telescope works.
"You better not break that thing." I chuckled. They turned around and looked at me.
"Good morning, Stargazer!" Sweetie Belle said.
"What are you Fillies doing at my house at this time?" I asked them.
"We wanted to try astronomy, like you!" Scootaloo said. I looked outside.
"Now that you mention it, I haven't stargazed in a while..." I drifted off in my thoughts.
"So let's go outside and find out how this tele...tele... What did ya say it was again?" Applebloom said in her western accent. "It's called a telescope. Now let's head on outside." I said, walking over and grabbing my telescope.

We walked outside, and I walked over to a good clear spot to stargaze. Usually, people come to me when they want to see the night sky. After all, I am the only one who owns the only telescope in Equestria and technically invented it.
"You three are lucky, you came out on the perfect night. No clouds, perfect time, and the stars are bright tonight." I said while adjusting the telescope.
"See! We are already talented!" Scootaloo said.
"Actually, you can't really be talented at Stargazing. The only reason I am good at it is because I know everything about the telescope, all of it's functions, stuff like that." I said.
"Here, take a look." Applebloom looked through the telescope.
"Uh, ah don't get how this works." She said.
"Adjust some things on it." I said. She nodded and turned a nob.
"Wow! That is so cool!"
"Let me see!" Scootaloo pushed her aside.
"Whoa, that is amazing!" She said.
"Can I have a turn?" Sweetie Belle said, pushing Scootaloo out of the way.
"Amazing!" She said. I rolled my eyes. I know it's beautiful, but I've seen it a hundred times.
"That shooting star is dazzling!" Wow, these fillies have a big vocabular- wait a minute, shooting star?
"Let me see." I pushed Sweetie Belle out of the way. I looked into the telescope and everything was maximized. I saw the shooting star that Sweetie Belle had talked about. It did look awesome. Suddenly, it changed course. That's not supposed to happen. I thought to myself. I turned another nob and it zoomed in. Oh, I get it. I looked at the girls.
"Sorry, but we have to do this another time, I have to get to Princess Celestia and tell her about the comet that is heading straight towards us." I said.
"Wait, what?" Scootaloo asked. But I was already flying into my house. I bursted into Starlight's room, panting.
"What now?" She asked getting up.
"I need you to teleport me to Princess Celestia." I said.
"Why?" She asked.
"Just do it!" I commanded.
"Okay, okay." Her horn started to glow a deep blue, and we were both enveloped in a blue light. I looked up at Princess Celestia, who was doing some paperwork. She looked up and smiled.
"Ah, Stargazer and Starlight. Still watching the night sky, I see." She pointed to my telescope. I looked down at it, then back up to her. I smiled.
"About that..."

Chapter 13: Alternate universe

Knowledge?
...
Anger?
...
Peace? Strength?
...
Oh that's just perfect. My consciousnesses are gone.
"Look, Firefly! A fan of mine!" I heard a familiar voice say. I got up from the ground to see me, except I was wearing a monocle and had fancy clothes on. So did Firefly, who followed close behind.
"Nice costume kid, I can barely tell the difference!" Firefly said.
"You look just like me!" The other Stargazer chuckled.
"I AM you!" I said, pointing at the other Stargazer.
"No, you can't be. You don't look famous." He said.
"Ye-...Wait, you're famous?" They gasped.
"I cannot believe you haven't heard of me." Myself said.
"I am Stargazer, Worldwide known Astronomer." he said.
"Pfft. I was never famous in my universe." I breathed so they couldn't hear.
"Oh my, you seem to be dirty, do you have a place to stay?" Firefly asked.
"Well, because I am you, I'll have to stay at your house." I said to Stargazer II.
"Oh sure. I have no problem with that at all." He said.
"Come. Join us for dinner as it is almost evening." He said, and I followed.
"Wait, isn't it easier to fly?" I said. He scoffed.
"Flying is for normal ponies, but for famous ponies such as I, there is no need to fly like a foal." He replied.
Wow. This guy isn't even close to my personality.
There was a carriage and Stargazer II and Firefly hopped in. They motioned me inside.
"No thanks, I think I'll fly by myself." I said. They shrugged and the carriage floated up as the Royal Guards were hooked to it. I flew alongside the carriage, until I saw a yellow pegasus with a yellow and black mane and tail inside of a jail when we arrived at Canterlot. I flew to the side and looked through the bars of his cell.
"Hey! Pssst. Bumble!" He turned around to see me, and instantly frowned.
"Hi Stargazer. Where's your fancy outfit? Lost it because my wish came true?" He asked.
"What wish?" I asked.
"The wish were you will have a miserable life for throwing me in prison!" He yelled.
"Calm down!" I told back at him. He spat on me, his saliva landing on my shoulder. I wiped it off as it was nothing. He then looked concerned.
"You aren't Stargazer." He said.
"More or less. I'm from a different universe." I said, and he looked shocked.
"No! No! This is just my insanity coming back to haunt me! No! No!" He started whimpering for a while, and then he turned back to me.
"Leave... Before I do something bad..."
"What? No, I-"
"LEAVE!" He yelled, trowing a hidden knife through the bars, just grazing my mane. I flew away quickly.
"AND NEVER COME BACK!" He yelled afterwards.
What in Celestia's name is going on here?!

I arrived at my other self's house, and boy, was it huge. It was like one of those mansions you would see in a movie, except it was at least twice the size. We had a dinner fit for a king, and we went to an announcement that Stargazer II was going to make, because he was the Mayor of Canterlot.
"Citizens of Canterlot!" He said through the microphone, everypony calming down.
"I would like you to meet my biggest fan, uh..." He came close and asked,
"What is your name?"
"Stargazer."
"That can't be that is my name!" I grabbed the microphone out of his hoof and said,
"Actually, I am not his fan. I am him from an alternate universe." I announced. There was a moment of silence, and everypony bursted into laughter.
"That fan is quite the comedian!" Somepony called from the crowd. Stargazer II also announced some kind of competition that I didn't pay attention to. We then went back to his home and got ready for bed. Stargazer II led me to the Guest's room, which was more like a king's room. There was a king sized bed, velvet carpeting, everything!
I relaxed in my temporary bed, and drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes to see Stargazer II sitting in the bed with me, smiling.
"What are you-"
"Shhh, shhhh." He put a hoof over my mouth. He then graped the back of my head and leaned me in for a kiss.
That's right. A kiss. I punched him in the face and sped out of the mansion, and flew down to a pond from below. I got tons of water in my mouth and spit it out. I then hurled inside a nearby bush.
Oh god, not only is my other self in this world rich and famous, but he's gay!

Back to Normal

Chapter 15: Back to Normal

I awoke with five ponies standing above my bed, in the hospital. I looked around and groaned.
"Not again..."
{It's not that bad.}
Hey! You're back!
(Well, duh. It takes more than a stab from a feeble knife to kill us.)
I instantly remembered when the consciousnesses were talking after I thought I died.
How cheesy.
(I know, right? I only did it because I was paid money to sound wise and shit.)
I looked around at all of the ponies standing around my bed. The Princesses, Derpy and Dinky, and Pinkie Pie. Dinky smiled and winked at me.
(That girl is creepy.)
She then frowned, hearing what Anger just stated.
"If Bumble is still wanted, I am going to kill myself right now." I said.
"No, you revived Pinkie Pie, which we still can't figure out how, but, nonetheless, the bounty is called off." Princess Celestia explained. I sighed and laid back. I noticed Derpy couldn't contain herself, and she hugged me, breaking into tears.
"I thought I lost you forever!" She cried. Pinkie Pie, from the side, looked as if she had a sudden idea.
"Oh! OH! We should have a party! I'll invite everypony in Ponyville, and there will be balloons, punch, oh! and cake-"
"LIES!" I yelled suddenly.
(Portal reference FOR THE WIN!)
"I mean, a party sounds great." I said, Derpy still hugging me.

About a day later, I was allowed to leave the hospital. The doctor said that I was in the clear, and for some reason, everything was healed. No cuts, no bruises, no nothing. Except for a pink scar where Bumble stabbed me. I was heading towards my house, and there was an invitation for Pinkie Pie's party. It said to make me come to Sugarcube Corner at 8:00 tonight.
I wonder if Bumble will be coming.
He should, it should be fun.
{Yes, I'm sure he should be able to.}
Let's swing by Rainbow Dash's house, maybe Bumble will be there.

I arrived at Rainbow Dash's house and knocked on the door. She opened it up, and smiled.
"Hey Stargazer! What brings you by?" She asked, sounding incredibly happy.
"Why are you so happy today?" I asked.
"Bumble became my coltfriend today." She replied.
That early?
(What's with all the relationships right now?)
"Um, where did Bumble go, by the way?" I asked.
"Oh, he went to a friends' house." She replied.
"Okay, see you later." I said, walking away.
"Wait." She grabbed my arm.
"I want to know how you beat me when Bumble was being chased, and how there were five of you when we cornered him in Sweet Apple Acres." She said.
Uh, oh.
{Persistent one, isn't she?}
"I can only tell you one of those stories right now. You see, when you were all chasing Bumble, I turned to fight. There's this little power or something that kicks in when I have a vengeance or am trying to protect something. Thus, making me twice as better at fighting." I explained.
"Yeah, right." She said back.
"Listen, all you know is that I beat you, that's all there is to it. I need to see a friend." I said, and pulled my arm away.
"Well, I want some answers later." She said. I flew off, ready to see Derpy.

I knocked on the door, and she opened it.
"Hi, Stargazer! Can I help you?" She asked.
"Okay, Derpy- No, I'll call you by your real name. Ditzy, you have been in my life for about 3 years now, and we work together. As news from Dinky, you have been very depressed until you met me, and well, I feel just about the same. So, will you be my marefriend?" I attempted.
(Dude, you're screwed.)
She looked around.
"You're not very good at this, are you?" She asked.
"Honestly? No." I replied. She pulled me into a long hug.
"And that's why I love you. Because you don't plan for anything, you only do something when the time is right, and you trust your friends." She broke the hug.
"I will." She said. We then pulled into a loving kiss.
[Awwww!]
{Yes, they do go well together.}
(I can only agree. Even though this is really cheesy. If this were a movie, it would be a mare-flick.)

I hope this day never ends.
(Well, its about to get better. Look at the time!)
I broke the kiss and asked,
"What time is it?" She turned and looked at the clock, she gasped.
"7:55!"
"Let's go to the party." I said. And we walked off, to Sugarcube Corner, to start this party.

(Now that we're out of that lovey-dovey stuff, lets move on to something more important.)
Hey! That was important!
(Nopony asked you.)
{Anyways, we seem to be a... little short on main characters right now.}
[Yeah, we need more.]

(Would you like to be part of this pathetic, love-filled story?)
I can edit you out of the story anytime I want, bitch.
{Well, you can be a part of it.}
[You can send us your OC's, characters, anything! We need more characters.]

(So, in the comments, or by PM, send us a message about your character, and maybe a picture to go with it.)
{The most likely chance, it will be in the story.}
[Make sure to send tons of info, name, cutie mark, human name if they are from Earth, etc.]

(And the best part, you will be credited in the story and shouted out in the chapter your character arrives.)
{So yeah. Basically it.}
I will be waiting. If you choose to, that is.
(SEE YOU LATER!)

Hey Thunder Cloud! You asked for more screen time, now you have a chapter to yourself! Hot dog!
...
I don't know why I just typed that.

Shoot for the Stars: Chapter 30: A day in the life of: Lightning Streak
Author: Burritoburger

I walked down the street, having a particularly good day. I was on my way to the Carousel Boutique, I wanted to buy a ring. Hint, hint. Big plans, as well. I was planning on getting together with Stargazer and my other friends, and we were gonna plan something awesome. However, I needed to keep it a secret from D.I approached the Boutique, and knocked on the door.
"Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, how may I help you?" Rarity asked after opening the door and putting on a fake smile. I could tell the mess her mane was, and it looked as if she didn't notice it.
"You look really tired. Are you okay?" I asked. She sighed.
"Unfortunately, no. I have been working for days trying to get these dresses done for the Grand Galloping Gala. I just have no idea how all these ponies got their hooves on tickets." She explained. Wow, didn't think the Gala was this close.
"Anyways, I'm looking for a ring. You know, an engagement ring." I said. She perked up.
"Ah! Who's the special somepony?" She asked.
"Somepony you don't know." I replied.
"Oh please, I'll know." She insisted. I sighed.
"Alright. Her name is D." She frowned.
"You're right, I haven't met her before. Anyways, come into my shop, I'm sure I can find something." She said, and I followed her inside. She showed me to a massive ring collection, and I tried to find one that was perfect.
"What about that emerald one?" I asked.

Don't judge me.

"Yes, that will be 2000 bits." She said. I winced. I am broke.
"Uh, I don't have that much money, is there any way I can make up for it?" I asked. She smiled.
"Well, you could help me do some things to help me make the dresses that much easier to make..." She trailed off, thinking about what to do with me. I sighed. Why didn't I just ask Stargazer for money? I really need a job.
"Could you possibly be a test for my dresses?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, I'll make the dresses, and you try them on. Simple." She said. I groaned, and got up.
"Fine." I said.

About an hour later...

I was trying on probably the strangest dress ever. There were two parts you had to put on. It even came with it's own hairstyle. I looked in the mirror.

How do you like it, Thunder Cloud?

I sat in humiliation as Rarity admired my look. Suddenly...
*knock knock!*
The door opened and Starlight, Stargazer's sister, walked in, with another pony.

In my opinion, he looked like a douche.
When they walked in, they started laughing, especially the red and blue one. After they were done laughing, Starlight spoke up.
"Rarity, Frostfire here, would like a suit, please." Starlight said.
"I already made one in advance. Here you are darling." Rarity said, and handed a suit to Starlight.
"How many bits is that?" She asked.
"300." Rarity replied. I could hear 'Frostfire' whisper something into Starlight's ear. She didn't seem pleased, but after a delicate kiss on the cheek, she smiled and whispered back to him,
"Okay."
She walked over to Rarity and gave her 300 bits. Frostfire came over towards me and whispered.
Definitely a douche.
"Hey, buddy. You should do something more valuable with your time, like learning how to get a life."
A douche that I want to kill. Now.
"Oh, I have a life. I don't rely on my marefriend to buy stuff for me." I shot back. He frowned.
"I'll deal with you later, punk." He whispered back.
"Excuse me Starlight? When was the last time you talked to Stargazer?" I asked. She shrugged.
"I dunno. Yesterday?" She looked distracted.
"Two days left." I said.
"Oh, Lightning! You have helped enough, you can leave now." Rarity said.
Finally.
I took off the dress and fixed my hair. Frostfire laughed.
"You still look pathetic." He added. I smirked, and charged my hoof with at least 1200 volts of lightning. It was clearly visible, slightly bouncing off my hoof. He looked a bit scared.
"Looks can be deceiving." I replied, and discharged my hoof. I walked out of the shop, merrily walking along.

I arrived at Stargazer's house and knocked on the door. No answer. Strange. I decided to head back to town, search for him there.

When I arrived, there really wasn't much. I couldn't see him, and finally decided to ask some of the ponies walking around.
"Do you know where Stargazer is?" I asked countless times, the answer usually being, 'I dunno' or 'I saw him over (insert place where Stargazer isn't here.)'. Finally, I saw him over in the distance, coming towards me.
"Dude! Where have you been?" I asked.
"About that, I was hanging out with a new friend, Vortex." He said.
"Well, I need to tell you something!" I said.
"Well, spit it out! I need to tell you something as well!" Stargazer said.
"Well! I am proposing. Sorta." I simply said. Silence.
"...And I want you to help me make it the best proposal scene ever." I finished.
"Um... I think mine is more important." He said.
"Pfft, yeah right." I replied. There is now way whatever he is going to say is more important than-
"If we continue doing the things we've done for the past few weeks, we will be banished from Equestria, and two certain ponies of ours will be executed." He spat out quickly.
"Who are the two?" I asked. He gulped.
"Pineapple and D." He said.
Just that one sentence filled me with more rage that I though was capable.
I flew off as fast as I could, shooting through my house and grabbing my greatsword.
Celestia is going to die. Now.
I shot off towards Canterlot, a few ponies down below looking almost frightened as they could see how enraged I was.

Heh. Good for you Thunder, your OC gets to beat the living hell out of Canterlot.
Burritoburger, out.
