____________________________________________________________________________________________

Midnight Twister was fully clad in his standard issue combat armor. It was somewhat like the classic Royal Guard's armor, except with a few changes. One being, the helmet fully covered his head. The only visible signs of life were the eyes, which were shielded by a visor. And there was a holster on his right shoulder for his weapon, which would rest in a horizontal position, barrel facing forward. And even though this isn't a serious change, his armor color was sapphire-blue. His fore-hooves were also clad in sapphire-blue-metal-boots, with rubber on the underside for more grip on the ground. And underneath all his armor, he wore a black-leather-jumpsuit, which covered each pert of his body, all the way up to where the neck and head met.

Midnight Twister walked through the long hallway, just wandering around, bored out of his mind. Maybe he should stop by the shooting range and pump dummies full of led? Maybe he should go to the bar and have a few rounds of liquor? Maybe he should hit on Princess Twilight Sparkle? Ok, the last one might be a bad idea. maybe he should hit the gym? Nah, too tired.

"Guess I should hit on the Princess." Midnight Twister decided.

"They took my baby..." A female voice said in a raised whisper. This not only crept out Midnight Twister, but also made him take the safety off his weapon, via through the HUD. He heard the whisper again, heading towards the source. He moved slowly, completely alert, with each passing second the voice getting louder... And louder... And-

"AAAAH!" Somepony screamed. Snapped out of focus, he saw that he was in the princess's private quarters. And she wasn't dressed. Despite the fact that ponies are almost always naked. In a hurry, Midnight Twister ran out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Midnight Twister went back to what he was doing earlier, which was taking a stroll. Except this time, he was in the gardens, where they kept all of the plants at. Plants brought from home were, of course, the only exception. He wasn't thinking of his boredom this time. No, this time, he was thinking about that damned voice that led him to the princess's room. If this turned out to be a prank, he would be beyond enraged.

"Well, look at the bright side: You saw the princess's awesome body. Wait, if she tells Celestia... Well, I'm downright fucked over." Midnight Twister said happily.

"Over here." The voice from earlier said. With hesitation, Midnight did as it said. The voice kept getting louder, just like before. And he kept following it. In a few seconds, he was at the "Exotic Plants" area. But the voice did not stop there. He started running this time, his curiosity at its peak and his patience running low.

*Rustle, Rustle*

Midnight Twister stopped in his tracks and tensed up. He quickly turned off the safety of his weapon and pointed to the source of the rustle. It was a rather large tree. Something, or somepony, was hiding there. With a quick flare of his wings, he flew into the air and pulled apart a large group of leaves. He instantly saw a yellow Alicorn with a pink mane. Beside her was a cyan Alicorn with a rainbow colored mane. These two were the Princesses, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Midnight could easily see Rainbow Dash doing something like this, but not Fluttershy.

"What are you two doing here?" Midnight Twister asked.

"I-I snuck on board..." Fluttershy said quietly, but still audible.

"Why?" Midnight interrogated further.

"We don't need to tell you that!" Rainbow Dash said.

"... Your friend is here, and I won't hesitate to inform her that we have two stowaways." Midnight shot back, quickly realizing something afterwards.

"Speaking of which, are the rest of your friends here?"

"No, we're the only ones that snuck on board." Fluttershy answered. Ok, how is it physically possible to resist her adorableness?! Midnight Twister had no choice but to give into her adorableness.

"I'll let you guys off the hook. But you might as well reveal your presence on the ship because I sure as hell won't keep it a secret." Midnight Twister said, turning on the safety of his weapon and flying towards the ground. Whence he made touchdown, he closed his wings and walked towards the nearest exit.

"They took my baby..." The voice from earlier said. Midnight turned to the Alicorns whom were getting out of the tree.

"Did you two hear that?" Midnight asked. The Alicorns wore confused looks. That probably meant No. Midnight sighed before continuing towards the exit.

}|{-Two Hours Later-}|{

The voice stopped after an hour of so. Midnight Twister decided that the best course of action was to ignore it, which surprisingly worked. Also, the princesses revealed their presence a while ago. Twilight seemed angry that they did "Such a childish" thing. But she got over it.

*Bump*

Midnight fell back on his rump, wearing an irritated look. He got up and saw Twilight Sparkle with her friends.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there!" Twilight apologized.

"It's okay. I was the one not looking where they were going." Midnight Twister said, continuing in the direction he was heading.

"Hey... Aren't you the stallion that walked into my room when I was getting dressed?" Twilight asked... God damn it. Rainbow's eyes darted from Twilight to Midnight, quickly becoming furious.

"Actually, I was following somepony's voice. They kept saying 'They took my baby'. Might be getting cabin fever." Midnight said, turning his head to the Alicorns.

"Are you sure you weren't hoping to get some action?" Twilight said with a seductive look.

"You have anything to do later?" Midnight asked.

"Not really."

"You okay if I stop by your room to say 'hello'?"

"I'm cool with that."

Midnight chuckled.

"See you later." Twilight said, walking away.

"Didn't you say you banged another mare?" Rainbow asked.

"I just said that to piss off Greenday. It's always funny to see him get angry." Midnight said truthfully before leaving. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy just shrugged before moving in the direction Twilight went.
