Chapters Everything was calm in the small town of Ponyville, everypony was going about their normal day. In Sweet Apple Acres, the Cutie Mark Cursaders were in their clubhouse talking about another way to find their cutie marks.
"So, I guess juggling isn't going to work." Scootaloo said as a ball hit her in the head.
"Great, we've done tried everything." Applebloom said looking out a window.
"What do you guys want to try next?" Sweetie Belle asked putting three balls down.
"Um, I think ya'll might wanna take a look at this." Applebloom said.
Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle walked over to Applebloom and looked into the sky. The saw something coming down at a fast rate. It came closer and closer, and landed in the field of trees, Applebloom let out a gasp and looked at her friends.
"Are you girl thinkin, what I'm thinkin?" She said with a smile. Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo perked up to what their friend was suggesting.
"CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS INVESTIGATORS!" They all shouted as they dashed out of the clubhouse in search of whatever crashed.
The girls were running and took a right and skidded at the sight of something laying unconscious on the dirt ground. They slowly walked closer to it and saw it was wearing a dark grey jacket and blue jeans, they took major notice of the golden colored wings and tail on it back. It appeared to not have any fur on it, the only place it had hair was it's mane.
"What do ya'll reckon that it?" Applebloom said looking over the body.
"What ever it is, it's surely not a stallion. So I'm gonna poke it." Scootaloo said as she walked next to the body with a stick and was about to poke it when Sweetie Belle pulled her back.
"Are you crazy!?" She said yanking the stick out of her hand. "We don't even know what that is."
"Hey, girls." Applebloom said picking up a backpack. "I think this is it's stuff." She said opening it up and taking out its contents. A journal, a drawing book, a pack of colored pencils and pencils.
"Looks like its an drawer." Sweetie said takin the drawing book and opening it up. They all seemed amazed at the pictures they saw, the first was a clear medow with a great design, the second was a pony standing on the edge of a building. The pony looked like the creature and seemed like its apperence was it from the back.
"Wow. Theses are cool!" Scootaloo said flipping through it. They all three froze as they heard a groan and looked behind them to see the creature slowly stand up and hold it's head.
They noticed the appearance of the creature and saw a pair of head phones around it's neck, the front had of the jacket had splatters of black colors all over it. It was obvious that it was male.
The girls seemed to hold their breath as it reached it's feet, the creature let out a breath go. It then look at them and it's eyes widened.
"Um, hi." He said softly.
"MONSTER!" The girls shouted and turned and ran as fast as they could.
"Wait! I'm not a monster." He said with his voice dying down. It let out a sigh and looked at it;s back that has been rummaged through.
He put his stuff back into his bag and put it over his back. He then started to walk out of the massive filed of apple trees, he looked upon the trees and saw a low hanging apple. He thought of reaching for it but decided it would be rude to take whats not his.
"HEY!" A southern voice shouted from behind him.
He turned around slowly to see a girl with fur like the other three girls from before, except she had orange fur. She also seemed really pissed at something.
He stepped back a bit not knowing how this could end out. The girl, or mare in this case, had a rope in her hands and started to twirl it around. The man then turned around and ran as fast as he could, a had gotten a few feet until a rope wrapped around his chest locking his arms to his sides
He was pulled to the ground and pulled to the mare with a rope in her hands, the man saw he from and upside down prospective and she seemed very upset.
"Well, I have no idea what the heck ya are, but I'm gonna find out." She said dragging him the a barn.
--
Meanwhile at Twilight's library house, place.
"Ok so how does this spell work?" Rainbow Dash asked as she stood still. Twilight looked at her notes and scribbled down a few words.
"If this works, you should turn invisible for a few minutes." Twilight said charging her horn up. Fluttershy was there observing the effects of it, she seemed uneasy about the magic attempt.
Suddenly the door burst open and three fillies quickly ran in, Twilight lost her concentration and shot a beam at a book case causing them all to fall out.
"Girls!" Twilight said walking up to them. "What has gotten into you?"
"Monster...on...the farm...you...got to...get there." Applebloom said breathlessly. Twilight blinked a few times to confirm what they had just said.
"A monster." Fluttershy said as she started to shake.
"Wait," Rainbow Dash said starting to think. "you said the farm, Sweet Apple Acres." She finished putting the pieces together. "If that thing lays a hand on AppleJack!"
Rainbow Dash then quickly flew out of the library and flew as fast as she could to Sweet Apple Acres. Twilight looked back at the three fillies.
"Girls go and get Pinkie and Rarity, then get some rest." They all three gave a nod and ran out to go get the rest of the mane 6.
"Spike!" Twilight called dragging Fluttershy out the door. "Take a note to princess Celestia and clean up the books." She said as Spike came from upstairs with a groan.
--
Back at Sweet Apple Acres.
AppleJack kept a cold stare on the creature that had crashed into her family's farm.
"Are ya goin tah say sumptin or what?" She said crossing her arms. The creature just stared back at her with a blank expression on it's face. Suddenly the barn doors burst open to have a anger looking Rainbow Dash.
"Where is it!? She shouted looking around, she spotted the creature and charged at it. "What did you do to AppleJack!?" She shouted raising a fist.
"Please don't hurt me!" It screamed. "I don't want to even hurt anyone!"
Rainbow Dash's and AppleJack's eyes widen for what the creature had said, and that it could talk. Rainbow Dash slowly put her fist down and looked at the creature.
"Y-you can talk?" Dash asked stepping back a bit. The creature nodded quickly, Twilight then walked in with the rest of the mane 6 and walked next to Rainbow Dash.
"Is this, a human?" Twilight asked in amazement. The creature blinked a few times and tilted it's head. "AppleJack, could you untie it?"
"Um, sure." AppleJack said slowly untying the strange creature. As soon as she untied the last knot she quickly stepped back, the creature rubbed it's arms where the ropes were digging into.
"Ok," It said softly making everyone jump except Twilight. "I'm kinda of a human." It said pointing at it's wings and tail. "Also my name is Leo."
"Interesting, so your saying your a human but with wings and a tail." She said rubbing her chin. "Could you explain?"
"Sorry but, I really don't know why I'm like this." Leo said rubbing his head. "And even if I did, I wouldn't tell someone I don't know."
"You mean 'somepony'." Twilight said tilting her head.
"Um, never been here before." He said letting out a sigh.
"Oh, right." Twilight said with a giggle. "Well, for introductions, my name is Twilight Sparkle."
"Weird name."
"Anyway." Twilight said moving on for her friends to introduce themselves.
"Right," Rainbow Dash said clearing her throat. "Names Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria and future Wonderbolt!" She said flying into the air.
"Cool." Leo said with amazement.
"Yeah, I know. Sorry for almost killing you." She said rubbing the back of her neck. "I thought you would have hurt AppleJack."
"It's fine, I completely understand." Leo said with a chuckle.
"Names AppleJack, sorry fer roping yah up. I thought yah were a monster from the scream I heard my sister yell." She said taking her hat off. "Where are they anyway?"
"For now their resting when they came to get Pinkie and me." Rarity responded. "My names Rarity, the most spectacular pony in Equestria."
"It, nice to meet you madam, Rarity." Leo said in the most fanciest voice he could say.
"Oh, a gentalcolt I see." Rarity said with a smile.
Leo blinked a few time suddenly feeling as if something was wrong, he looked over at a pile of hay. He walked over to it and began to dig through it.
"Um, is something wrong Leo?" Twilight asked in confusion. A few seconds later Leo pulled out Pinkie who had somehow disappeared there.
"Yay!" Pinkie said getting out of the pile of hay. "Somepony knew I wanted to play hide and seek." Everyone tilted their heads to what had just happened and Leo just looked at Pinkie.
"Oh, right. I still haven't told you my name." She said with a giggle. "My name is Pinkie Pie, and I'm going to have to throw you a party since your new here!"
"Um, yeah." Leo said feeling really confused. "A party would be fun." Pinkie then started to bounce in place with a huge smile on her face.
There was a gasp Leo heard and looked behind him to see Rainbow Dash pushing a mare forward, she seemed to be hiding behind her hair.
"Um, hi." Leo said softly, hoping that he wouldn't scare her. She kicked her foot around in the dirt and looked at the ground.
"Her name is Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said bluntly. The mare know as Fluttershy kicked her foot in the dirt some more and finally looked at Leo.
"H-hi." She said shyly, Leo blinked a few times from how cute and shy she was being.
"Sorry for interrupting," Twilight said shocking Leo out of his trance. "but I would like to head back to the liabary and ask you some questions."
"Sure, I'll try and answer them to my best cabilitys." Leo said walking out the barn with Twilight. Everyone had walked out except AppleJack who pulled Rainbow Dash back'
"Dash, we're gonna need tah keep a close eye on that thing." AppleJack said in a hushed tone.
"I know," Dash said with a nod. "Something about him just gives me the creeps."
"Are you two coming!?" Pinkie shouted from out side the barn house.
"Just a second!" Dash called. "If that thing does something to hurt Somepony, we beat him."
"Right." AppleJack said with a smirk. They both then walked out of the barn and walked out of the farm place.
Leo felt something nipping at his tail and he turned his head to see Pinkie acting like a cat with a toy.
"Is there a reason your messing with my tail?" Leo asked.
"It's really fun, it just sways back and fourth." She said watching his tail move.
"Ok," Leo said wrapping his tail around his waist. "but I would like it if you would stop."
"Okie-dokie!" Pinkie said bouncing ahead.
As they were walking they reached the entrance to PonyVille, Leo looked at the sigh and chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Twilight asked.
"'PonyVille'? I'm sorry but that's just a weird name."
"Well, what did you expect?" Rainbow Dash asked seeming annoyed.
"Not much," Leo said with a shrug. "All I'm saying is that it's strange." Dash rolled her eyes at his answer and just kept flying like she always does.
"Leo, if you don't mind me asking." Rarity said pullin on his arm. "What's with those headphones around your neck?"
"Oh these." He said taking them off. "Their a custom design I created and built."
"Well certainly is interesting." Rarity said stunned.
"That reminds me." Leo said digging in his pocket and pulled out a silver device. "Might as well listen to some music on the way." As soon as he pressed a button it short circuited and died.
"So much for that idea." He said putting it back in his pocket.
"You have a P-Pod?" Twilight asked interested.
"I don't know what that is but, it's called a I-Pod." Leo said taking it back out. "I really ticked that I can't even listen to music."
"Vinyl can probably get you a replacement for that one." Pinkie said bouncing around the group.
"Who?" Leo asked confused.
"Vinyl Scratch, DJ Pon-3, one of the best ponies to have a party with." She said taking the device out of his hands.
"Um, sure. I'd like to meet her."
There was a huge gasp they all heard and the sound of someone running to them, suddenly someone hugged Leo from behind and was cheering.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew you were real!" She scream with delight.
"Lyra, can you stop hugging him." Twilight said annoyed. There was a groan from the mare hugging him as she let go of him, Leo looked back to see a mare with a gigantic smile on her face.
"Well, hello." Leo said in shock. Lyra's mouth drop for knowing that it could even talk.
"Oh I have so many questions I have to ask you and I just got to get every little detail about the life of a human and know everything about a human!" She said all in one breath.
"Lyra! Calm down!" Twilight shouted. "We're heading to the liabary to ask him a few questions anyway."
Lyra's face lit up with excitement as she started to giggle with delight. They all eventually started to walk back on course and made it back to Twilight's home.
"This is where you live?" Leo asked looking over the building, he looked over and saw a carriage on the left side of the building. They all gasped as they looked at the carriage and ran into the house, Leo was standing there confused but Twilight pulled him in.
As they entered they saw two tall standing mares who seemed to have both wings and a horn. Everyone bowed in the presence of the princesses, but Leo didn't know who they were and just stand there.
"So this is what the letter was about?" The white one said walking up to him.
"Yes princess," Twilight said standing up. "he was about to tell us about what he is."
"I see, well I can already tell your wondering who we are." She said looking at Leo closer. "I am princess Celetia, ruler of Equestria and the one who brings and lowers the sun." The darker mare walked next to Celestia with a glare at Leo. "This is my sister, Luna, she raises the moon and sets the moon."
"T-that is awesome." Leo said with a shocked expression on his face. Luna tilted her head because she didn't expect the creature to say that.
"Oh, pardon my rudeness," Leo said realizing that they were royalty. "my name is Leo."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Leo." Celeatia said with a warm smile. "If you don't mind, can you please tell us what you are."
"Ok," Leo said with a sigh. "I'll do my best."

Flashback
The life I had was hard, before I became this thing. My parents hated me with a passion, as if I was just some child they didn't want. They even sometimes threw me outside to sleep on the porch.
I had wondered why I had a life like this, my father, had gotten a addiction to drugs and become abusive to me. For that time being I've become used to what I went though with those things. A few years had passed and my mother had passed away, the only sort of emotion I felt was the feeling of relief.
My father seemed to get even worse with his addiction and, he even said that he was going to sell me, just to get his fix. I had no real idea what would happen with that, I had considered running away from him but knew I had no where to go.
One terrible day, my father made me sleep out on the porch, though instead of waking up in the cold morning, I woke up strapped down to a table. I was scared for what was happening to me, I tried to break free, but I couldn't.
I looked over to see a table with tools on them, there was a scalpel with blood on it. A door opened up to have a man in a suit and a fedora covering his face. He walked over to the table with the tools and picked up the scalpel, he then turned towards me.
"I see your awake now," He said taking a sewing kit out. "let's get started with this." He then brought the scalpel to my chest and cut a huge diagonal line down it. I yelled in pain as he did this, blood started to flow out my chest, he let a dark laugh out and got salt out.
He put some of it in his hand and rubbed it into the cut in my chest, I screamed at the salt burned the wound. I held my breath as he stopped and took out a needle, he then started to sew the wound on my chest and laugh a sick twisted laugh.
"Good, you've felt this pain," He said as his voice turned dark and soft. "but you will only feel more of it." With that he punched me in the side of the head, my vision was blurred and I felt pain running through me like the blood flowing through me.
He brought the scalpel back to my chest and made another diagonal line down my chest, making an X onto my chest, he went through the same process by the salt and sewing the wound back up. I closed my eyes tightly and tried top ignore the pain, he just laughed at my attempt to hold the pain back.
"You know, Leo," He said with a twisted smile on his face. "We've been watching you for some time. You've endured some time with hate and pain, you are going to make the most strongest subject out organization with have."
I looked deep into his eyes and saw the face of death staring back into my soul. He let out and dark evil chuckle, one of a sick twisted mad man, he then brought his hand back and struck me in the face, this time it caused me to black out.
--
6 years later
I had been six long painful years since that day, six long agonizing years, they, they had done thing to me that caused my body, to change. Their organization was call the 'Nova Project' from what I've seen here, they abducted people who have other who would just forget them.
They had locked me in a small cell and just as they had always tested on me, it made me stronger. Pain had been becoming less on a problem for me, eventually they noticed my reaction to the last test they put me though and notified their higher officers.
They sent me to some sort of area where I had seen a man being submerged in a fluid, I looked at all of the scientists examining the process, all with some sort of eagerness to see pain. A strange green liquid started to fill the chamber and was quickly rising.
I had though I was going to drown there, but as the water went past my face, I could breath in ti. I looked around the room to see a shocked expression on the scientist's face. One scientist on the control panel hit a button and said loudly. "Sir, subject 164, is not experiencing any pain."
A familiar voice called on the speaker, the voice six years ago, the voice that led me to this hell-hole. "Just give the subject time, his body is just resisting it."
A few minutes had passed and a strange feeling was running through my body, suddenly I felt something shoot out of my back. I fell to my knees and slowly caught my breath, I looked behind me and was filled with complete utter shock. There were a pair of blooded golden wings on my back,
I slowly roused to my feet and looked and the scientist who was at the control panel, he had a smug smirk on his face, he hit a button on the panel and the liquid in the chamber turned to a dark blue color. He then hit another button that must have been the same he pressed earlier.
"Subject 164, has gone through stage one, of transformation, moving to stage two."
"Good, good, make him feel pain."
The blue liquid in the chamber felt heavier that the green, I felt and strange shiver run down my spine as I felt something shoot out the bottom of my spine. I looked back again and saw a blooded golden tail sawing in the water, I gave a death glare, at the scientist on the control panel who now had a twisted smile as the last man I saw had.
"Subject 164, has passed through stage two, moving to stage three."
I couldn't take this anymore, I moved to the glass wall and banged on the glass. I hit more and more until it started to break, the scientist stepped back from the glass and looked at the one on the control panel.
"Um, sir, Subject 164 is trying to break free from the chamber!"
"Do what ever it takes to stop him!" The voice of the speaker called. "He must go through all three stages!"
"Yes sir!"
I didn't know what I was doing but knew I was going to put an end to this, I kept banging on the glass, the dark blue liquid the turned into a blood red color. The more I banged on the glass the more, I felt weaker. I slowly fell to my knees but kept my struggle for freedom but, my vision was turning black. I hung my head and looked at my hand, when I was hitting the glass I had cut myself.
I felt a strange, energy surged through me. I looked back at my hand and saw the red crimson turning black. I clenched my hand and more black blood flowed out my hand. I stood up and looked at the smashed glass, instead of seeing my dark blue eyes I saw my eyes slowly being consumed by black. Then a ring formed around my eyes and my blue eyes had a mix of black in them.
I smashed again on the glass causing it to finally break, I fell out with the liquid and it flowed to the ground. I slowly breathed and caught my breath, I sat up to see a bunch of guards pointing guns at me.
"Subject 164! We order you to stand down!" The voice on the speaker said loudly. I felt a flash in my eyes as if someone had shined a light in them, but it quickly left. I blinked a few time to realize that I was covered in blood and holding a guard by the throat, he held my arm gasping for air. I quickly let go of him as he fell into a pool of blood, I looked at my shaking hands and saw they were blood stained.
"Subject 164, I order you to stand down! Now!" The voice on the speaker rang off the walls that had blood all over it, I fell to my knees in shock for what I had done. I killed them, all of them, what were they doing to me?
"Good, now stand up."
I didn't want to listen to him, but my body was resisting my mind. I got to my feet and stood there, the main door leading in. Then he stepped in with the same twisted smile I saw on him the first day I saw him. The man in the suit with the fedora. He walked up to me, he seemed as if he was going to help me.
"Leo," He said softly using my real name. "You've been the most wonderful, test subject we've ever had here."
My eye twitched from hearing him speak, his voice sounded clam and gentle, but I knew under it, was a man ready to kill.
"Through, over the time over become," He said pausing. "Unstable."
Unstable? Unstable?! These people have been experimenting on me for the past six years! They changed me, into this thing!
He pulled out a gun and held it out to me. "Take the pistol."
I slowly reached my hand for the gun, I took it in my hands and held it tightly. "Now, put the gun to your head."
I made sure the gun had bullets and moved it towards my head, my hands were shacking violently, I couldn't stop myself.
"Fire."
"NO!" I shouted pointing the gun at him, and pulling the trigger.
--
2 years passed.
Two years have passed since I escaped from the Nova Project, I had lived at least the most normal I could be. I didn't have much of a home, I just flew when I had to.
I wanted to get thing to keep me entertained but, I had no money to bye and thing. I resorted to stealing them, I stole a cell phone and an I-Pod, I found a high class parts to make a head set and took those as well. I eventually got enough part to make the whole thing.
One day, I was flying in a storm, just a normal thing. Though most lighting bolts don't hit close to me but seeing that I was tired of flying I rested on a roof. About ten minutes since I landed lighting bolts had been striking down, one however struck close by me, except it stayed there.
I slowly walked over to it and it was glowing very brightly, as I reached it the light seemed to grow brighter. Suddenly a strange light tendril shot out at me and wrapped around me, I felt electricity run through my body. A tendril then wrapped itself around my throat, I started to lose my breath and lose consciousness.
--
Present
"Then I had crashed into that farm." Leo finished with a sigh, just remembering his past just sickens him. He looked at the mares and was shocked with what he saw, all of them had tears flowing down their faces.
"How could anyone live like that?" Twilight said softly.
"Why," Pinkie said, her hair wasn't her usual curly but almost the same as Fluttershy's. "why would anyone do that?!" She said quickly hugging Leo. Leo nearly fell over from the force but managed, Lyra ran over nearly tackling him, then Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, and even the two princess
"Girls, I really don't-" Leo tried to say but they all hugged him harder, Leo started to then lose his breath. "Girls, I can't breath." He choked out, they all then let go off him but with dried tears in their eyes.
"Leo," Luna said looking at him. "How could you have been through all that?"
Leo thought for a moment, he had a dark past and tried to think of the way he got through it. "To be honest." He said softly. "I just went through with it."
"Do you still have it?" Celestia asked wiping her face.
"Have what?"
"The scar."
Leo looked at his chest a second and then unzipped his jacket, he removed his headphones and tossed them to the side with his jacket. He then removed his shirt show his muscular form, they all seemed to gaze at him for he seemed as normal as any stallion. Then they noticed the giant X shaped scar on his chest, Leo's chest went in and out as he slowly breathed.
"It's just stupid." Rainbow Dash said mad. "Why would some do that to a kid!?"
"Dash, calm down." AppleJack said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"No I won't calm down!" She said pulling away. "How could someone be so twisted to do that to a poor sad child."
"It's already passed and done!" Leo shouted tears starting to roll down his eyes. "I don't want to dwell on my past and neither should you!"
They all seemed shocked at how quickly Leo reacted to the situation. Leo was breathing heavily, trying too push the experiments he went through, he sat down on a nearby couch and held his head.
"I-I'm sorry." Rainbow Dash said hanging her head. "I didn't know you wanted-" She cut herself off before she said something stupid.
"It's not your fault." Leo said wiping his tears. "You didn't know." Leo picked up his shirt and jacket and put them back on, Celestia then walked over to him.
"Leo, as ruler of this land. You must have a home to live in, so I'm requesting Twilight to take you in." She said looking back at Twilight, she nodded in response. "You may live her until you've earned enough bits to purchase a home."
"Thank you princess." Leo said with a bow.
"Good, now if you all with excuse us. We must head back to Canterlot." She said walking to the door. "Everyone lease treat our new guest with respect."
Everyone gave a quick nod, Luna walked over to Leo and hugged him one more time. Before she let go of him she left an neckalace in his hands. Leo held it in his hands and looked at her, she just nodded and walds to the door with Celestia.
"Farwell." Luna said walking out the door with Celestia. Leo looked at the neckalace and put it into his pocket, he turned back at the rest of the mares in the room.
"Look," He said running his hand through his jet black hair. "If it alright with you Twilight, I would like to get some rest."
"Of course." She said walking to the staris. She gestured for him to follow which he did, they reached the top and entered a door.
"This is the guest room you can sleep here for now." She said waving around the room. Leo suddenly hugged her tightly, Twilight was caught off by this but hugged him back.
"Thank you." Leo said softly in her ear. He then pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Thank you, for helping me."
"It's alright," She said with a smile. "Just go ahead and get some rest."
"Yeah," He said walking over to the bed and taking off his shoes. "Thanks again." He said laying down on the bed.
"Sleep well Leo." She said closing the door. Leo looked up at the ceiling and went into thought, what am I going to do here? How am I going to live here? He cut his thought short for he was to tired to think of anything, he closed his eyes and let his mind fall into a peaceful sleep.
Author's Note
Hello Everypony, Shadow here
Hoped you enjoyed this story, I shall continue if other like it.
"No! Stop!" Leo shouted backing into a wall.
"Restrain him!" A scientist in a white lab coat ordered the guards, they tackled Leo to the ground and Leo began to struggle to get free.
"Stop!" Leo shouted again to only have a guard hold him by the throat, Leo lost the breath in his lungs as he saw the scientist remove a syringe with a dark red liquid in it. Leo struggled more and more but the guards had him pinned and he couldn't move.
The scientist took the syringe and jabbed it into Leo's chest, Leo yelled in pain as the scientist injected him with the dark red fluid. Leo's eyes started to drop as the last of the fluid went in, Leo slowly started to stop moving and fully close his eyes.
--
Leo sat up quickly in a cold sweat, he held his chest as he slowly breath. He slowly fell back to the bed and look back up at the ceiling, he felt what was under him and felt a soft bed. So this means that what happened yesterday had actually happened.
He sat back up and got off the bed and stretched his muscles, he walked over to the door and opened it. He made his say down the stairs to have a splendid smell hit his nostrils, he reached the bottom and walked around the room. Leo walked through a doorway to see Twilight sitting at a table and someone standing by an oven.
"Leo, your awake." Twilight said gaining the attention of Leo. "Spike was just about to make breakfast." Leo sat down at the table and looked over at the person at the stove who was now turned around.
"Leo, this is Spike." She said waving for him to come closer. "And number one assistant."
"Nice to meet you." Leo said extending his hand, Spike seemed cautious about shaking his hand but slowly shook his hand.
"Same to you." Spike said walking back to the oven, Leo then turned back to Twilight.
"So, can you explain this," Leo paused thinking about his words. "World?"
"Gladly." Twilight said clearing her throat. "Two princesses Celestia and Luna, as Celestia already told you she works the sun and Luna works the moon." Leo gave a nod. "So they have ruled Equestria for many years, until one day, Luna said she was sick that everypony lived and played in Celestia's sun and slept during her moon. She refused to lower the moon and A dark force had grown in her, Nightmare Moon."
"That's crazy." Leo said just thinking about the whole situation about it.
"Celestia had to stop her, so she banished her to the moon for a thousand years, and took responsibility for both the sun and moon."
"Having to banish your own sister to the moon, for a thousand years?" Leo said with a surprised look on his face. "That must've been tough."
"It was," Twilight said softly. "Though, I had been under Celestia's wing and leading magic since I was ranked number one at...sorry I'm getting to smart with that. Moving on." She said with a giggle causing Leo to just chuckle.
"I was sent to PonyVille to learn the magic of friendship, I had thought everypony here was just crazy. Though they all ment well in the end, so I had to check the preparations for the celebration for the longest day of the year, the one where the stars would aid in Nightmare Moons escape."
Leo was simply fascinated by the history of Equestria and had proper himself so he can listen eagerly. "When time came for the celebration, instead of see Celestia and the stand, Nightmare Moon showed up and ruined everything. She proclaim to bring darkness apoun Equestria forever."
"Since I was the only one who knew anything about Nightmare Moon, and Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash who dragged Fluttershy along, we traveled though the Everfree forest to locate the ruins of the Element of Harmony the only thing know to stop Nightmare Moon."
"Couldn't there have been any easier way of stopping her?" Leo asked seeming to only be more interested.
"The only thing that were known to stop her was the Elements of Harmony, that was our only goal."
"Alright, continue."
"We had traveled through the Everfree forest and we had our lighter moments here and there thanks to each other. We found the old ruins of the elements and though there were only five they need to a spark to bring out the sixth, when I was trying to concentrate the girls let me to do so, unfortunely Nightmare Moon had teleported me and the element somewhere else."
"I'm guessing Nightmare Moon had many tricks up her sleeve to stop you all from ranching the elements, right?"
"She did many thing to prevent us from reaching the ruins but we all surpassed them."
Leo chuckled a the thought of if someone tried to stop him doing something that ment the fate of the world, it would've been the last thing they do.
"Nightmare Moon had teleported me to another building and tried to destroy the elements, but the elements were inside us."
"The elements were you?"
"Yes, the elements of harmony include kindness, honesty, laughter, loylity, and generosity. The final element was magic the element I posses, Rainbow Dash posses loylity, Pinkie holds laughter, Fluttershy holds kindness, Rarity holds generosity, and AppleJack holds honesty."
"When the element were united Nightmare Moon was defeated and the sun came up and Clestia had to, we noticed that we defeated Nightmare Moon and Luna was free of the evil control, she had asked for Celestia's forgiveness for her refusing all those years ago. Celestia forgave her and both princesses came back to power, I wanted to stay in PonyVille to stay with my good friends."
"Is that it?"
"That pretty much sums it all up."
"I had no idea, that any of that could have happend." Leo said taking the neckalace out of his jacket pocket and looking at it.
"What do you have there?" Twilight said leaning to get a closer look:
"It's some sort of neckalace Luna had given me." He said handing it to her, Twilight examined it for some time and smiled.
"This is a connection stone, it allows the wearer to hear the other thoughts, such as Luna in this case." She said giving it back to Leo. "You might want to put that on later."
"Yeah, will do." He said putting it into his pocket, by now Spike had made pancakes for a three of them and as handing them out.
"Woah, pancakes." Leo said shocked. "It's been forever since I've had pancakes, thanks Spike."
"No problem." He said sitting at the tabs and began to eat his pancakes. Leo looked down at his pancakes, his mouth watering, he took a fork and a bite out of the pancakes and chewed. Leo let a audible and long gasp as the taste of the pancakes explode over his tastebuds.
"Hey, you ok?" Spike said looking at him confused. Leo didn't answer he just picked up a pancake and rolled it up, he quickly ate it in one bite, Spike was surprised by his actions and held his arm to stop him from eating them whole.
"Easy there, your gonna get sick by eating like that." Spike said letting to of his arm. Leo seemed to be shaken out of a trance he was in.
"Sorry," Leo said with a sheepish smile. "These are really great pancakes." Leo started to eat more slowly and savor the taste.
"Thanks, I know there pretty good." Spike said returning to his pancakes.
After they had all finished the pancakes Leo stood up and offered to help Spike with dishes, but Spike said he could handle it himself. Leo walked out of the kitchen and it he main room with Twilight following behind:
"Twilight, do you know when Pinkie is going to get here?" Leo asked. "I was hoping to get a new, P-Pod you called it?"
"Yeah, Pinkie should be here soon." Twilight said sitting down at a couch. Leo quickly look at behind a couch to find Pinkie hiding behind it.
"Aw, your too good at this game?" Pinkie said pouting. Twilight was a bit shocked at how Leo was knowing where she is.
"Hey Pinkie." Leo said with a smile. "Can you show me who that Vinyl girl was?"
"Of course," Pinkie said with a huge grin. "Do you have the P-Pod?"
"Yeah it's upstairs in my bag." He said running upstairs, Pinkie then plopped herself on the couch next to Twilight. Twilight looked at her very confused.
"Pinkie, are you scared of what Leo has gone through?" Twilight asked with a soft voice, Pinkie seemed upset about her words and looked at her angerly.
"Why would you think that?" Pinkie said standing up from the couch. "He's had no one to help him with his life, he's been alone for a long time."
"But, Pinkie, they did things to him."
"So, he had no control over that, he seems normal enough like anyone else."
"I know but-"
"No Twilight," Pinkie said crossing her arms. "Your treating as if this is his fault."
Twilight tried to think of something to say but choked on her words, she dealt a sudden surge of guilt run through her.
"Just because he had a dark past, doesn't mean he's a bad person."
At that moment Leo had came back and was ready to leave.
"Pinkie, you ready?" Leo said walking next to her.
"Yeah, just wait outside for me."
Leo nodded and walked to the door her turned and waved to Twilight with a smile on his face. Twilight sat there for a moment but waved in return, Leo then walked outside.
"See," Pinkie said pointing at the door. "I can tell he a very nice guy, hay, I even say he's cute!"
"He is but-" Twilight cut herself off and blush a bit by what she had just said. Pinkie let a smile go across her face and left Twilight to her thoughts.
'Maybe Pinkies right, maybe he is a nice guy' she thought as she held her head.
Leo was waiting outside when Pinkie came out, she seemed a bit more happy about something but just took it as her normal personality.
"So first we head to Vinyl's, then we head to Sugar Cube Corner to get you something to eat." Pinkie said pulling on Leo's arm for him to follow.
"Pinkie, can I ask you something?" Leo said pulling his arm back and walking on his own.
"What is it?"
"How are you so, energetic?"
"I don't know, I just love making other happy and smile no matter what."
"Has anyone ever tried making you happy?"
"Yeah, sometimes I get a present every now and then."
Leo just looked at her in shock at how happy this one girl could be, he has never met anyone so happy. He shook his head and put his eyes forward, eventually from some time of walking Pinkie pulled on Leo's arm toward a toward a building.
"Come on, this is Vinyl's store."
Leo couldn't help but sorta like being dragged around by his arm, he couldn't explain it but he liked it, Pinkie pulled Leo in the store, As they walked into the store they heard a loud beat playing.
"Vinyl!" Pinkie called out walking over to a counter, a few seconds later a mare walked in with a pair of white headphones around her neck.
"Hey Pinkie." She said with a smile, she looked over at Leo and looked him over. "And who's your friend?"
"This is Leo, he's some what of a human."
"A human?" Vinyl said looking him over one more time. "That's pretty cool, although I now own Lyra 10 bits."
"Yeah, we were just wondering if you could replace this P-Pod." Pinkie said handing Vinyl the device.
She took it and looked it over, she pressed a button but it just shocked her. She placed it down and went below the counter, she came back with a similar looking device. Her horn flared up and a light blue connection met the old device to the new one.
"There ya go, just had to get your songs on to the new P-Pod." She said handing Leo the new device, he looked at it and turned it on. It had seemed just like an I-Pod.
"Thanks a lot," He said taking his head phones and plugging them into the P-Pod, he smile has he heard sound play though them. "What exactly do I own you."
"Don't worry about it, first ones free." Vinyl said waving a hand, she seemed to perk up for a second. "You have a phone, right?"
"Yeah," Leo said feeling confused.
"Can I see it for a second?" She asked with a certain eagerness in her voice. Leo took his phone out and handed it to Vinyl, she pressed a few buttons and her horn light up. She handed him the phone back and Leo just stared at her confused.
"I put my number in there, you can pay me back by hanging out with me." She said with a warm smile, Leo returned the smile and nodded.
"Oh and one more thing before we go, I've got to tell you something Vinyl." Pinkie said leaning over the counter and whispering to Vinyl.
"Of course!" Vinyl said loudly. "I wouldn't be one without me."
"Good, I'll get you when it's ready."
"What?" Leo asked confused by the secret.
"It's nothing." Pinkie said drawing the the attention away. "I was just telling her something."
"Um, ok." Leo said feeling really confused.
"Either way, we'll see you later." Pinkie said pulling Leo to the door.
"See ya, Vinyl." Leo said waving as he left.
"See ya later, Leo." Vinyl said waving back to him, she let a chuckle out and went back to her work. "That's one weird guy."
"So where we heading to after this?" Leo asked walking with Pinkie.
"We're heading to Sugar Cube Corner to get you something sweet." She said with a smile leading him through town. Leo looked around and saw that everyone was giving him a weird stare, he quickly put his hood over his head.
"Why'd you put your hood on?" Pinkie asked with a soft smile, Leo pointed around and Pinkie relized that everyone was staring at him.
"Right." Pinkie said rubbing the back of her head. "Let's hurry up then."
They hurried to their next destination, Sugar Cube Corner. Leo looked at the building amazed that it looked like a gingerbread house, Pinkie pulled his arm and into the building. Sweets and other treats hit Leo's nose, his mouth started to water, Pinkie looked at him seeing a trail of saliva rolling down his chin.
"Hungry?" She said playfully. Leo blushed and wiped his face off, Pinkie giggled and pulled Leo to a booth. "Wait here and I'll get you some cupcakes."
Leo nodded and looked around the room, others seemed to be giving him weird looks and talking to the ponies at their table, Leo shifted in his seat and put his head down on the table. Leo felt something nudging him and he lifted his head to see Pinkie holding a tray of cupcakes, Leo looked at the tray then back at Pinkie.
"You have enough cupcakes?" Leo said sarcastically, Pinkie just giggled and set the tray down and sat across from Leo.
"I work here and I shouldn't be a problem." She said biting into a cupcake. Leo smiled and picked up a pink cupcake, he bit into it. His eyes widen from the taste and he was about to take a large bite but stopped himself because he didn't want to have the pancake situation happen again.
"This is delicious, did you make it?" Leo said eating the last of his cupcake.
"Yeah, I love to bake sweets." She said with a warm smile. Leo and Pinkie had finished the rest of the cupcakes and talked about what had made them happy or what they like the most, eventually a cyan colored mare walked in.
"Dash!' Pinkie shouted running over to her. "Hey, I need you to do me a favor." She whispered.
"What is it?" Rainbow Dash said softly.
"I'm going to get a party for Leo, I need you," She said poking her in the chest. "To distract him for some time until I get everything set up."
"Why me?" Dash asked seeming annoyed.
"Because, I know that he took a certain interest in you when we all met him."
Dash had a slight blush on her face but quickly shook her head, she looked over Pinkie to see Leo stretching his arms out.
"Fine."
"Great!" Pinkie cheered hopping into the kitchen. Dash then walked over to Leo's booth and sat next to him.
"Hey, Rainbow Dash." Leo said with a small wave, Dash looked at him with a blank stare.
"Just to let you know, you don't need to say my full name." She said rolling her eyes. "You can just call me Dash, ok?"
"Yeah," Leo said with a nervous smile.
'I hope that didn't sound too rude. Dash thought. "Sorry about that," She apologized. "I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out or something."
"Sure." Leo said eagerly, he blushed and gave a sheepish smile. "I mean, yeah that seems like fun."
Dash got out of the booth and walked over to the door with Leo close behind, they walked out and though the town until they got to a park.
"Can you fly with those things?" Dash asked pointing to his wings, Leo nodded and expanded his wings. Dash smile and flew up quickly in the air, she looked down a Leo with a smirk.
"You coming or what?" She asked playfully. Leo jumped in the air and flew at a quick speed past Dash, he turned around in mid-air and waved at her.
"Hey, hold up!" She shouted bolting towards Leo, he quickly turned and flew though a wall of clouds. As we went though he felt a surge of freedom run though him, he looked behind him to see Dash flying fast at him. Leo chuckled and flew as fast as he could leaving a black trail behind, Dash stopped in her tracks as she saw the trail slowly fade.
She grunted in anger as she bolted at the same speed as Leo leaving a rainbow trail behind her, she was catching up to Leo and she could see a smirk on his face. He turned his head and saw her faced filled with determination, he chuckled and flew faster, Dash only seemed to get madder, she picked up her speed and a cone started to form around her.
Leo looked over at her in surprise and saw her gaining more speed, she slowly passed him and Leo tried to fly faster but he was falling behind. The cone around Dash had started to get smaller around her until it covered her body. Suddenly a giant rainbow explosion, Leo had been close enough to have the colorful explosion blast him away into a cloud, when he made contact with it he thought it would have harmed him but he felt perfectly fine. He looked up and saw the rainbow explosion fading away, he was amazed by the color and the size of it.
"Awesome!" He cheered as he stood up on the cloud. Suddenly a pair of cyan hand wrapped around Leo and pulled him down on the cloud, they then started to tickle him.
"You think you can just leave me in the dust and get away with it." Dash said tickling him even more, Leo tried to sit up but Dash sat on his stomach to pin him down.
"Please," Leo cried out in his laughter. "Stop, I can't take it!"
"Well, just see about that." She said with a devilish grin as she started to tickle him more, Leo was laughing with tears rolling down his face.
"Have you learned your lesson?" She said tickling him harder.
"Yes!" He shout in between his breaths. "I've learn not to leave you in the dust!"
"Good." She said as she slowly stopped, Leo slowly caught his breath as he laied on the cloud. He opened his eyes to see Dash still sitting on his stomach, he blushed heavily and looked at Dash's face. She noticed the blush on Leo's face and looked down to see she was still on him, she blushed and quickly got off him.
"Sorry!" She said as she scooted away from him. Leo sat up and was looking at her, she had a dark blush on her face and was looking away from him.
"It's fine," Leo said laying back down on the cloud. "You were just having fun and things just got, awkward."
"What do you mean?" She asked looking at him.
"Well," He said thinking. "You had no real intention of, getting on me, you were just holding me down to tickle me."
"Y-yeah, that's what I was doing." She said looking over the side of the cloud.
Leo took his P-Pod out and put his headphones over his head, he hit play on one of his favorite songs . Dash looked over at him and saw him put his hood over his eyes.
"Hope you don't mind me taking a nap." He said with a yawn.
"Not at all." She said with a warm smile.
Dash looked back over the cloud to see the streets of Ponyville, she always loved going to the clouds and looking around the colorful town. She looked back over to Leo and saw he was already sleeping, she chuckled sat next to him. She took her phone out and saw Pinkie had text her.
Are you handling Leo okay?
Just fine, he's taking a nap right now. He looks pretty cute.
You've got to send me a picture of him. Please!
Just a second.
She aimed her camera at him and got a shot of him. 'Sleeping like a baby.' Dash thought as she looked at the picture.
"I know you just didn't take a picture of me, right." Leo said startling her, she looked at her phone for a second and looked at Leo, he lifted the hood to show his left eye.
"Well?" He said looking at the phone and back at her.
"Yeah, I'll just delete it now." She lied as she instead hit the send button to Pinkie. Leo smirked and put the hood back over his eyes, Dash let a breath out and looked back at her phone, Pinkie had already responded.
Ohmygosh! He is so cute!
I know, he's just so adorable.
Lucky, you two might want to head back now, we got everything set up for his party.
Okay, on our way.
Dash put her phone up and looked over at Leo, she crawled over to him and started nudging him to wake up.
"Leo, Leo, wake up." She said softly pushing him hard. Leo grumbled something and just turned onto his side. "Leo, wake up." She said pushing him harder, she was beginning to get impatient.
"Please, get up." She groaned shaking him, he slowly removed his hood and looked at her, he took the headphones off his head and smiled at her.
"Do you have to be so pushy?" He said standing up, she looked at him confused but shook her head off and stood up beside him.
"I was thinking we head back to Sugar Cube Corner for a second."
"Weren't we just there?" Leo said looking at her confused.
"Yeah, um, I was just thinking, uh." She said thinking about her words. "I just wanted to, uh, get a few cupcakes for myself." She said with a sheepish smile, Leo stared at her for a few seconds confused by the way she talked.
"Sure, I don't see why not." He said with a shrug, He walked over to the edge of the cloud and leaned forward, he then quickly dropped. Dash ran over to the edge and saw Leo open his wings and glided over the town, Dash jumped off the cloud and quickly followed him.
'He is so awesome.' She thought as she caught up to him, he looked back at her and saw her staring at him, she turned her head the other way and continued to fly next to him. Leo looked forward and saw Sugar Cube Corner approaching. They both landed at the entrance and Dash opened the door and saw the lights were out.
"Come on." She said opening the door, Leo walked in with her and saw that there was no light.
"Why are the lights out?" Leo asked moving around the dark room, suddenly the light turned on and the room was filled with ponies.
"SURPRISE!" They all shouted, shouted and fell to his flank, he looked up to see everyone was laughing. He himself started to chuckle, eventually everyone one in the room was laughing, Pinkie walked up to him and helped him up.
"Were you surprised?" Pinkie asked eagerly.
"Yes I was, so a party." Leo said looking around at everyone in the room.
"Yeah, and we've got the best DJ in Ponyville." She said pointing at a stage, Vinyl then walked out with purple shades covering her eyes.
"So is everypony ready to have a party!?" Vinyl said over a microphone.
"Hey Vinyl!" Leo shouted taking out his P-Pod. "Catch!" He said throwing her the P-Pod.
"What about it?" She said catching it.
"Hit track 13 !"
Vinyl plugged the P-Pod into the stereo and pressed play, everyone cheered and the parry began.
--
After sometime it was getting late and everyone had headed out, except Leo, Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Lyra, and Vinyl.
"That was awesome!" Leo cheered and he threw his arms up.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it Leo, it was a lot of fun." Pinkie said with a smile.
"Was that your first ever party?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, and it was amazing." He said with a sigh.
"It's always awesome when Pinkie throws a party." Dash said nudging Pinkie.
"Especially when I'm here." Vinyl said with a smug grin.
"To tell you all the truth, that's the most fun I've had in a while." Leo said with a chuckle.
"Well, were glad to see that your happy." Twilight said.
Leo let out a sigh as he felt more happy then he has in years, suddenly a surge of pleasure shot up Leo's spine he let out a moan and his head dropped down onto the table. When his head was down everyone saw Pinkie standing behind him with his tail in her mouth.
"Pinkie spit his tail out now!" Everyone yelled at her, Pinkie gave a giggle and spit out his tail.
"Sorry, it's like a cat toy." She said rubbing the back of her head.
"But your not a cat." AppleJack said with a blank stare.
"I know." Pinkie said waving a hand.
"Well, what the heck did you do to Leo?" Dash said nudging Leo. Leo slowly raised his head from the table with a large blush on his face, he blinked a few times and looked around him.
"What just happened to you?" Twilight asked with a concerned look.
"Um, m-my tail is v-very, sensitive." Leo said as he panted a bit. Everyone looked a each other then back at Leo.
"Leo, have you ever had a special somepony?" Rarity asked.
"You mean, like s-someone, to be with?" Leo asked curiously, she gave a nod and Leo let out a sigh.
"Back on Earth, I had seen many pretty girls, although," He said as he hung his head. "Every time I walked up to someone, they ran away and called me a freak."
"Aww, poor Leo has never had a special somepony." Pinkie said hugging him, Leo slightly blushed more because her breasts her pushing against his wings.
"Pinkie, can you stop." Leo said.
"Why? You've never seemed to have had a hug from someone." Pinkie said only tightening her grip, Leo could feel his cheeks started to burn more and more.
"P-Pinkie, your c-chest, is pushing against my w-wings." Leo choked out.
"Oh sorry." Pinkie said letting him go, as soon as she did Leo's wings shot out. Everyone looked at Leo with a small blush on all their faces, Dash was holding her mouth and trying to hold her laughter.
"W-whats so funny Dash." Leo said giving her a strange look. She then fell back in her chair laughing her head off.
"Ha Ha! He's got a wing boner!" She yelled rolling on the floor. Leo blinked a few times and looked back at his wings, he instantly blush and push his wings down.
"This has never happened before." Leo said getting his wings down. "If you all can excuse me, Pinkie, wheres the bathroom."
"It's third door on the left." Pinkie said pointing to a hallway. Leo stood up and walked to the hallway and opened the bathroom door and went inside, everyone looked a Pinkie with a glare.
"What?" She asked confused.
"Well, one your boobs your scrunching against his wings." Vinyl said with a slight chuckle.
"Second," Twilight said looking at Dash. "You had too laugh at the whole thing."
"Well, it was pretty funny how he didn't even know about it." Dash said with a shrug.
"Even though, ya just made it worst fer him." AppleJack said giving her a glare.
"What ever." Dash said crossing her arms, she perked up for a second as she thought of a crazy idea. She stood up and walked to the corner of the hallway.
"Dash what are you doing?" Twilight asked confused. Dash just put her finger to her lips and told them to shush. Everyone looked at Dash confused for what exactly she has planned. The door to the bathroom opened up and Leo walked out seeming more relaxed.
"Sorry about that girls I was j-" Was all Leo could say before Dash jumped up and kissed his cheek. Leo stood there for a few seconds before his entire face turned red and fell over.
"Oh my gosh, Leo." Dash said kneeling beside him. "I didn't think he would react like that."
Twilight walked over to Dash and slapped her in the back of the head.
"What was that for?" Dash asked holding her head.
"You just kissed him." Twilight said with a blank stare.
"Only on the cheek." Dash replied with a sheepish smile.
"Look, it's getting late and since Leo has to sleep at my home, your going to help me carry him."
"Fine." Dash groaned out.
"It was a fun party but were going to head on home." Twilight said picking Leo up. Everyone said there goodbyes and made there way home.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash were carrying Leo through town and Leo seemed to be mumbling about something.
"So Dash, why did you kiss Leo?" Twilight asked looking at her.
"I don't know, I thought it would have been funny." Dash said looking away as a blush formed onto her face.
"Come on, I know it wasn't just for laughs."
"I just, wanted to see how he would react to something like that."
"Dash, I know there's something else."
"Alright fine, I like him okay he's awesome, cute, kind, and I just want to make him happy."
"We all feel the same way for him Dash."
"You do?" Dash asked looking at her friend.
"Yes, this morning Pinkie acknowledge I and it let to me saying he's cute."
"Yeah, good ol' Pinks." Dash said with a chuckle, they both stopped as they heard Leo groan and raise his head.
"What the hell happened?" He asked walking on his own.
"What happened was, when you came out of the bathroom Dash kissed you on the cheek, which caused you to pass out." Twilight explained, Leo turned and looked a Dash who had blush on her face.
"Yeah, sorry about that." She apologized rubbing the back of her head. Leo turned forward and walked ahead of them the two looked at each other and followed Leo.
"Leo, is something wrong?" Twilight asked. Leo didn't respond he just kept walking.
"L-Leo?" Dash asked putting a hand on his shoulder. He froze in his place to her soft touch. He slowly turned around with a blush on his face.
"T-that was m-my first kiss." He said as the blush on his face grew.
"Well, did you enjoy it?" Dash asked looking into his eyes, Leo just stared back into her eyes unsure about what to say.he exhaled and blushed even more.
"It was the first ever kiss I got, so yeah."
Dash smiled and quickly hugged him, Leo stood there for a few seconds before he returned the hug.
"I'm gonna head home now." Dash said hopping into the air. She waved to both Twilight and Leo as she flew off to her home. Leo was looking it the sky when he felt something tug on his collar, he looked over to see Twilight with a small smile on her face.
"If you don't mind I would like to get home." Twilight said walking ahead. Leo nodded and quickly followed behind. Soon they had reached the library and Leo walked to his room, in Twilight's room, Twilight was trying to talking to Dash.
Dash I need to talk to you.
Yeah, what's up?.
Look, what you tired in Sugar Cube Corner was crazy, we all have to wait for him to adjust to here.
Yeah, sorry about that again Twi.
Hey do you still have that picture of Leo sleeping?
How do you know about it?
I saw it on Pinkie's phone when we were setting up the party.
Well yes, I still have the picture.
Do you think you can send me it.
Yep, here you go.
Wow. Pinkie wasn't kidding about him being cute.
He is, goodnight Twi.
Goodnight Dash.
Author's Note
Hello Everypony, Shadow here.
Hope you all enjoy this, I'll try putting a chapter out each week.
So Until Next Time, I'll CYYYYYAAAAAAAAA!!!
Twilight walked into the room Leo was sleeping in and saw he was tossing and turning in the bed, she took a seat on the bed and put a hand on his shoulder, as soon as she did he seemed to calm down a bit. She listened closer and heard him saying something.
"Anna, Anna. Where are you?"
Twilight looked at him with concern and tried to shake him awake, he opened his eyes and saw Twilight looking back at him.
"Leo, are you okay?" She said letting go of his shoulder. "You were saying a girls name."
"It's nothing." Leo said sitting up and shaking his head.
"Leo, please I want to help you." Twilight said looking into his eyes.
"Okay, but you can't tell anyone else."
"My lips are sealed."
"Alright, remember when I said that there were pretty girls in my world."
"Yeah, why?"
"There was this one great girl, who helped me a lot."
--
I was running through the streets avoiding the bullets flying by me, I wish I just could have flown off any from them but they had a chopper locked on my position.
I ran into an alleyway to at least get away from the helicopter, the soldiers were still close behind and were getting closer with every bullet.
Suddenly a bullet shot me in my right arm, I nearly fell over and against the wall. I looked back to see the soldiers reloading their guns.
I jumped over a trashcan and kept running, the amount of blood I was losing was causing me to stumble and lose my balance and fall on the hard ground.
I closed my eyes as pain shot though my arm for I had landed on it. I saw the soldiers run up to me with their guns pointed right at my head.
"Sir we have the target lock down, what are your orders?" The soldier said though his headset. "Alright shoot to kill boys." They all aimed their guns at me and were about to fire at me, but the main leader was shot in the head, his body fell limp and the other jumped back in freight.
Then two more guards were shot, then another two, now there was only one left. He was shaking in fear, then I saw a girl wearing a skirt and a black jacket. She had a assault rifle on her back and a pistol in her hands. She walked up to the soldier and pointed the gun at his head.
"Nah, I'm gonna let you live." She said putting the gun down. "Just tell your friends, or whatever is left of them, to leave this gut alone."
He nodded and ran away, the girl chuckled and turned to me. Her face was beautiful, her hair was hanging over her left eye and she had a warm smile, She walked over to me to.
"Hey you okay?" She said with a smile, she put her hand and for me to grab but I just looked at her confused. "Come on, I don't bite." I reached for her hand with my left arm and she helped me to my feet.
"So, whats your name." She said putting a arm over my shoulder to help me walk.
"I-It's Leo." I said breathing heavily.
"Cool, names Anna, or what people refereed to me as 'The Assassin'."
"W-why's that."
"Well, sometimes I help out the people that need to be helped and kill the ones that need to be killed."
"Heh, seems fun."
"Yeah, but it sure gets awful lonely."
"You know, since you just saved my ass, maybe I can help you out with it."
"Really? Do you think your up to it."
"I'm up for anything."
"Awesome, let's get you patched up though."
"Yeah, I'm starting to feel light-headed now."
--
I had now know Anna for five months now and we had been going out taking groups of armed specialists out, over the time I had actually gotten a crush on Anna. The fun thing about this job was the weapons, a few weeks ago I told Anna I had found a strange book about materialization weapons, knifes to be more specific.
"Anna, wanna see something awesome?" I said walking into her room. She was still in her pajamas, just a normal pair of baggy pants and a sports bra.
"You know I love seeing awesome things." She said hopping off her bed. I held my hands open and moved them in a circle then in a x form, a scythe them materialized in my hands. Anna jumped with glee at the sight of what I had just done.
"Hang on, I think I may have a crazy idea." Anna said walking over to a chest, she pondered through it and removed a blacked shotgun.
"Um what exactly is your idea?" I asked spinning the scythe onto my shoulder.
"Okay try doing that thing you did to get the scythe out, but have the shotgun in your hands." She finished handing me the shotgun.
"I'll give it a try." I said de-materializing the scythe, I held the shotgun in my hand and went through the same process of making the scythe but as it did the shotgun went inside of the shotgun.
"Whoa, this looks awesome!" I said spinning the new weapon we made.
"Come on let's go test it out on the shooting range." She said pulling me though the home. Anna had made herself a under ground bunker so she could get away from the others.
We were at the shooting range, and I was ready to test this new gun out. I looked at Anna and asked her what possible name we could give this thing, she rubbed her chin and looked at me with a smile.
"Why don't we call it a scytgun."
"Scytgun, I like it." I said twirling it and holding it to the target, I pulled back on the side trigger and the target exploded. I looked over at Anna who was jumping with delight.
"This is gonna help a lot with the jobs." I said de-materializing the scytgun, Anna jumped up and hugged me tightly.
"Anna, too tight." I choked out as I lost breath. She loosed her hold on me, but it felt as if she wanted to hold me tighter, I put my arms around her and held her close.
"So what should we do now?" Anna asked pulling from the hug.
"Let's just relax for now." I said walking out of the shooting range.
--
One day, one god damn day, the day I...lost her. We had heard that Project Nova, had taken some more experiments and were planning to do more tests. It was raining and we were running the roofs of buildings getting closer to their new headquarters, we got there and the way we were going to have to get in was threw the roof.
Anna hopped onto my back with out even telling me and held me tight, I looked back at her and she giggled at my reaction.
"Come on, how else are we going to get up there."
"Right, just warn me next time." I said flying through the sky, as I did I felt Anna nuzzling my neck as I flew. We landed on the roof and Anna got off my back and walked over to a vent, she had removed it and crawled inside of it, I follow close behind and felt my face heat up as I saw Anna's flank swaying back and forth.
I shook my head and focused on the task at hand, and continued to move forward. Anna stopped and held her hand up, she pointed down to a vent in front of her. She removed it and we jumped down into a dark room. We couldn't see anything but Anna grabbed my hand and pulled me through the room, she pressed herself against a wall and I felt her pulling me through a doorway.
"Come on, should be this way.." She said letting go of my hand, suddenly the light cut on and the room was filled with soldiers, me and Anna froze. I looked back at her with a smirk but she was...crying? Why was she crying? A man wearing a suit walked through the group of men and was slowly clapping.
"Good, good. Looks like everything worked out perfectly." He said walking up to us.
"What's going on!?" I shouted getting the scytgun. Anna grabbed it from my hand with tears flowing out her eyes.
"Anna? What's wrong?" I said looking around the room.
"I'm so sorry Leo," She softly said taking a gun out and pointing it towards my head. "Please, forgive me." She pulled the trigger,, but it didn't feel like a bullet, it felt like a needle. I fell to my knees and hands, my vision was getting blurry and I fell over completely.
I woke up to have Anna holding me over the edge of the building, behind her were a bunch of guards with their weapons ready, I looked back over at Anna and saw tears completely flowing down her face.
"Leo, I'm sorry." Anna said pulling me into a hug. "I had no choice." She pulled me away and looked into my eyes, I didn't move, my body wouldn't let me move. Anna move closer to my face and our lips met. It felt, soft. She felt like she really didn't want to do this.
She pulled away from me and looked back into my eyes, she pushed her backwards and I fell over the edge, at that moment I was about to open my wings but they wouldn't move, I couldn't even move my arms. I looked to my sides and saw I was tied up, I struggled to break free, but I knew that I was going to die.
I closed my eyes and kept falling, through over time I felt myself stop falling and I was, laying in an alleyway and I was looking at the building. I stood up and felt the ropes were gone, I got up from the ground and looked back at the building a tear rolled done my cheek as I ran away from the building.
--
"I had never saw her again that day." Leo said as he held his head in depression. He felt something wrap it's arms around him, he looked up to see Twilight holding him, tears were flowing down his face.
"Please stop crying." Twilight said wiping the tears from his cheek.
"Yeah, your right." Leo said putting on a smile, he let out a sigh and looked into her eyes. "Sorry about that."
"Why are you apologizing," Twilight said letting go of him. "Of it's anyone who should apologize it should be me for bringing up a touchy subject."
"There's no need." Leo said standing up from the bed. "Hey, if there is any way of getting money or something, where do I go."
"AppleJack could need some help with work at Sweet Apple Acres." Twilight said exiting the room, Leo followed her down the stairs.
"So where is that." Leo said getting ready to leave.
"Just head out to the edge of town, you can't miss it." She said sitting on a couch, Leo nodded too her and opened the door. Leo started to run and jumped into the air and flew through the skies of the town, he looked forward and saw a large orchard of trees and a barn, he remembered falling to it and landed at the entrance.
He looked around and entered the field of trees and walked over a few trees before something red grabbed him and force him to a tree. Leo looked up and saw a tall, muscular stallion, in this matter, with a death glare.
"Who the hell are you!?" He shouted holding his collar. Leo just looked back at him with a blank stare and seemed un-amused.
"Big Mac, what are ya doing?" Leo heard AppleJack's voice say, Leo was about to snap if this guy didn't let up on him.
"AJ! What is this thing."
Leo had enough of this guy, he reached up and grabbed his arm and easily pulled it off his collar. He put his arm behind his back and the stallion gasped in pain, Leo kicked the back of his legs causing him to fall to his knee. Leo immediately stopped what he was doing and let him go, he looked down at his hand, he was shaking like crazy.
"Big Mac?"
Leo looked up to see her with a confused look, Leo looked back down at the stallion.
"Hey I'm sorry." Leo said helping him back to his feet, the stallion pulled himself away and moved over to AppleJack.
"This thing nearly ripped my arm off!" The stallion said holding his arm. AppleJack looked at Leo with a frightened look.
"Leo, what did you do?"
"I didn't mean to, I was a reaction." Leo said shaking his head. "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Bic Mac, he's been through a lot of trouble in his life."
"Look, AppleJack, do you need any work here?"
"Yeah why?"
"To make it up to you, I'll do the hardest job you got."
"Like you could do that!" The stallion known as Bic Mac said.
"I want to at least apologize for hurting your arm."
"What ever." He said walking off some where.
"Just follow me for now." AppeJack said motioning for him to follow. Leo followed and kept his head down, he felt guilty for hurting that guy, he felt a strange pleasure in doing so.
"Okay," AppleJack said stopping in front of a cart. "What I'm gonna need ya to do is take all these buckets of apples." She said pointing to a hundred of barrels full of apples under trees. "And take'em to the barn."
"Seems easy enough."
"Leo," AppleJack said grabbing his attention. "What did you exactly do to Bic Mac?"
"You mean that red guy?" Leo said with a sigh. "I was walking around here and he grabbed me and forced me against a tree, I know he was just probably protecting you or something, but my body refused to be pushed around and I, snapped. I'm sorry."
"Yeah, Bic Mac can be protective for us." AppleJack said removing her hat. "I'll go talk to him and you can just get to work here."
"Understood." Leo said with a salute. He started getting to work with the buckets, AppleJack saw as he lifted a bucket and put it on his shoulder and lifted another with another arm. He walked over to the cart and put them onto the cart, he looked back at AppleJack who had a shock expression.
"Something wrong?" Leo asked picking up two more buckets. AppleJack shook her head and just smiled at him.
"Just keep up the work." She said walking off to find Big Mac. 'He lifts them like Big Mac.' She thought as she reached her home. She walked in and saw Big Mac sitting in the living room, she sat next to him on the couch.
"Mac, Leo is really sorry about how he hurt you, he knows that you were only protecting us."
"Save it AJ, I don't care what that thing is or what it has gone through." Bic Mac said looking at her. "All I know is that it's not friendly."
"Listen here!" AppleJack said standing up from the couch. "He has had a terrible life, his parents abandoned him, he was experimented on by some people who only cared about making a ultimate warrior thing. And you go accusing him that he wants to hurt other, the reason he hurt you is because he felt threatened."
Big Mac sat there shocked at how this thing lived, he assumed that he was going to hurt his family but he saw that he never wants to hurt anyone.
"I had no idea." He said with a dumbfound expression.
"Well if I were you, I'd go and apologize tah him."
"Your right, where is he?" He said getting up and walking to the door.
"Here, I'll lead ya to him." AppleJack said leading through the farm. They both arrived at the area where the cart was at but saw that there was nothing in sight but trees.
"Um, where is he?" Bic Mac asked looking around the trees.
"Hang on, wheres the cart?" AppleJack said looking at the spot the cart was previously at. "Do you think he's already finished?"
"We've only been gone for thirty minutes." Big Mac said with a confused look. AppleJack and Big Mac ran to the barn to see Leo laying down on the barn floor with the cart.
"Oh, hey...I got...done." Leo said between breaths as he stood up but fell next to the cart.
"How were you able to get that done so fast?" AppleJack said looking at the cart for any missing buckets of apples.
"I...wanted to...make it.. up to him." He said pointing at Big Mac, he looked back at his sister with a shocked look.
"Hey look buddy," Big Mac said pulling Leo to his feet. "I'm sorry for the rude start, I guessed you were a monster and was gonna hurt my family."
"Don't worry...about it...I understand fully." Leo said with a chuckle. "And your mighty... welcome for getting that job done."
"Yeah thanks for that." Big Mac said patting him on the back. "And I hope we can actually be good friends, AJ, you said his name was Leo?"
"That's right." She responded with a nod.
"Well, my name is Big Macintosh, or what everyone calls me Big Mac."
"Well it's nice to meet you." Leo said cracking his neck. "AppleJack, got any more jobs that need to be done?"
"What?" AppleJack and Big Mac asked shocked. "Why would want to do more work?"
"Well, I got to earn some sort of money so I can at least live here."
"Here." Big Mac said tossing him a small pouch. "You've at least earned these."
Leo looked inside to see golden coins. He looked back a Big Mac who had a smile on his face.
"Um, this is gold." Leo said confused.
"You must not understand currency here." AppleJack said putting a hand on his shoulder. "These are bits, they are used to spend many things here. Take our apples for example." She said pulling a apple out a bucket. "One apple would cost four bits, and a cupcake would cost six. Do ya get it.?"
"Sorta." Leo said tying the pouch to the side of his pants. "Either way do you have any other jobs?"
"Heh, eager to work are ya." Big Mac said with a chuckle. "AJ can ya show him what he needs to do, I'm gonna head back to work."
"Sure, just follow me sugarcube." AppleJack said walking out of the barn, Leo quickly followed close behind to where AppleJack show him what jobs he needed to do.
--
3 Long Working Hours Later.
Leo had spent his time getting apple down from trees and into more buckets, this was a simple process thanks to his wings. AppleJack had thanked him gladly and hand him another bag of bits.
"Be sure tah come back if yer ready for anymore work." AppleJack called waving Leo goodbye as he left the farm.
"I'll be sure of it." Leo called back walking down the dirt path. As Leo was walking he kept feeling as if something was watching him, he looked over at a bush and heard a twig snapped and hushed whispers. He walked over to it and pushed the leaves aside and saw the three fillies from the first day he arrived here.
"Um, hi." Leo said looking down at them, they all seemed disappointed about something. "Is something wrong?"
"Well we were trying to get our cutiemarks by being sneaky ninjas but that obviously didn't happen." Scootaloo said crossing her arms.
"What's a cutiemark?" Leo asked as they stepped out of the bush.
"You don;t know what a cutiemark is?" Sweetie Belle asked looking at him dead in the eye.
"No I haven't." Leo said nervously as Sweetie Belle continued to stare at him.
"Do ya wanna know?" Applebloom said looking up at him.
"Not really." Leo said a little annoyed.
"To bad, ya gotta know. Now sit." Applebloom said bluntly, Leo groaned and did as she said.
"Ok a cutiemark is a mark on both our shoulders," Sweetie Belle said pointing to her shoulder. "And they can also be on our-"
"Butts!" Scootaloo shouted interupting Sweetie Belle. Both Sweetie Belle and Applebloom looked at her with a annoyed look, Scootaloo just giggled and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Any way, it represents a special talent someone has." Applebloom said taking a apple out. "Such as mah sister and brother they both got there cutiemarks by working on the farm." Applebloom took the apple and shoved it into Leo's mouth.
"Okay, I think I get it now." Leo said taking the apple out of his mouth. "By the way what are your names?"
"Applebloom."
"Sweetie Belle."
"Scootaloo."
"And were." They all said huddling up. "THE CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS!"
Leo held his hands over his ears for the sound of their cheer was like nails scratching against a chalk board.
"Well, I'm going to be going now." Leo said standing up and spreading his wings.
"Seeya Leo!" They all said waving to him, he stopped walking and turned back to them.
"How do you all know my name." He asked eyeing them.
"Oh simple, AppleJack was telling everyone, except for Big Mac who worked a hard day, about you." Applebloom said with a smile.
"My sister Rarity was informing me about a new creature in Ponyville." Sweetie Belle said.
"I was hanging out with Rainbow Dash and she was just talking about you like crazy." Scootaloo said with a giggle.
"Right, well goodbye." Leo said jumping into the air. He looked back and saw the girls waving at him, he turned his head forward and spotted a large cloud, he figured he could use a nap. He landed on the cloud and stretched out his tired muscles, he laid down on the cloud and took note that it was amazingly soft, he let his eyes drop and felt slumber creep upon him.
--
Rainbow Dash was flying through the sky clearing out the clouds as her usual job and decided to take a nap as her everyday schedule. She landed on it and she was shocked to find Leo sleeping peacefully on his side, she sat down next to him and looked at his sleeping face.
'I wonder?' Dash thought as she started to brush his hair, Leo turned onto his back and pushed Rainbow Dash's hand away. She giggle by his action and continued to brush his hair, she heard Leo let out a sigh of relief. Dash moved her hand from his head to his face.
'Why does he have to be so cute?' She thought as she caressed his cheek. Leo pushed her hand away and scratched where her hand was. Dash couldn't figure out why she was doing this, but she couldn't stop. She brought her hand back to his face and continued to caress it.
Suddenly Leo shot up and hugged her and pulled her down on top of him. Dash gasped and felt her face start to burn up, she could feel his breath on his face which caused her own face to heat up more. She then started to try and pull herself out of his hold, she hadn't felt the need to break free of something since she and Fluttershy...
'I don't need to think about that right now!' Rainbow Dash shouted to herself, she continued to try and pull herself free but the more she struggled the tighter he held her.
'Come on, Dash, think!' She told herself, she then reached her hand around his back and plucked on of his feathers from his wings. All he did was shift around on the cloud.
'Dammit!' She thought as she shook her head. She then seemed to get another idea, she lifted the feather to his neck and started to lightly tickle under his neck, she could he Leo start to laugh and loosen his hold. Dash continued to do this and pull away, she was almost free but Leo held his hand together behind her back.
'Really!' Dash sighed as she moved her legs and sat on his stomach, she continued to tickle him and pull away from him and was nearly free. She looked down at him and saw his eyes slowly open up, she froze in place and just started into his sleep eyes.
Leo blinked a few times and his vision was starting to clear up, as soon as they were we saw his arms behind Rainbow Dash, and she was on his stomach. Leo looked back at her and she had a blush on her face, he immediately let go of her and his face heated up as a blush formed on his face.
"What are you doing here?!" Leo said pushing her off of him. She seemed to still be frozen and just looked back at him.
"I-I-I..." Was all Rainbow Dash said as her blush grew more. "I was working, then I decided to take a nap, you were here and, I tried to wake you up and you just latched onto me. I plucked one of your feathers and started to tickle you, but it almost worked so I got on you to break free."
Leo just blinked a few times and closed his eyes and breathed slowly. He looked back at her with a smile but still had a blush on his face.
"S-sorry about that." He said rubbing the back of his neck. "I get clingy, when I try to sleep. Just keep your distance when waking me up."
"I'll be sure of that." Dash said with a nervous smile.
"I'm just gonna leave." Leo said standing up.
"I'll see you later." Rainbow Dash said with a wave. Leo jumped off the edge and flew off, Dash looked back at the feather she had plucked from Leo and held it, she then put it in between her ear and head as if it was a pen. She looked back at where Leo had flew off and had a smile grow onto her face.
'Why, why does he have to be so awesome?' She thought as she laid down onto the cloud and closed her eyes and let her mind at ease.
--
"That was something else." Leo said landing on the outside of town. "Why did I do that?" He said looking at his hand, he clenched it and un-clenched it. He shook his head and continued to walk, he heard someone calling his name and he looked and saw Lyra running at him with a smile.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Leo shouted as she got closer, she tackled him to the ground and was hugging him to death. "Lyra! Do you need to hug me!?"
"Sorry, still excited about a human here." Lyra said getting off of him and helping him up. "Hey can you come with me to my house."
"Why should I?" Leo said dusting himself off. Lyra scratched her chin and perked up.
"My friend Bon-Bon works at a candy store and makes the best bonbons, the name intends what it is." She said with a smile.
"Fine." Leo said with a sigh.
"Great, now come on." She said pulling him to her home.
After some walking they reached Lyra's home and she pulled Leo inside.
"Bon-Bon! I'm home! And I have a guest!" Lyra called out through the house, she pulled Leo through a kitchen to have a mare wearing a apron.
"Lyra, how many times do I have to tell you not to yell when you get here." She said taking off the apron and turning around. As soon as she did a blank expression was on her face as she saw Leo.
"See, I told you." Lyra said with a smug grin.
"I heard about a human being here, but I didn't believe it." She said walking up to him.
"Well, yeah I'm real." Leo said crossing his arms, Bon-Bon froze as he said this. "Please don't act like I'm some thing that's gonna hurt you."
"Sorry." Bon-Bon said with a nervous smile.
"Hey Bon-Bon I need to talk to you." Lyra said walking next to her. "If you don't mind Leo, could you go wait in the living room."
Leo nodded and walked to the living room and took a seat on the couch, he looked around the room and noticed a TV, fireplace, and tons of photos of Lyra and Bon-Bon.
"Okay Leo, first here's your end of the deal." Lyra said walking in and giving Leo a bag, he opened it and saw a ton of bonbons inside.
"Thanks." Leo said taking a bonbon out and eating it, it was incredibly sweet.
"So, Leo." Lyra said sitting next to him. "From what you've told me about how you've lived, I can understand you must be alone."
"I'm pretty sure most ponies will think your just some monster, but we all know that's not true." Bon-Bon said sitting on the other side of Leo.
"It's nice to know that your both concerned." Leo said with a smile.
"Leo, just know if you need someone to talk to," Lyra said putting a her hand onto his, Leo felt his face slightly heat up as she did.
"I'll keep that in mind." Leo said softly. Lyra slowly moved closer to his face and Leo felt his face heat up even more.
"Lyra!" Bon-Bon said causing her to jump, she giggled and let go of Leo's hand.
"Sorry, I got caught up in the moment." She said looking away.
"Well, I think it's time for Leo to go." Bon-Bon said standing up. "And Lyra I'm gonna need to talk to you." She said grabbing her ear and pulling and walking upstairs.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, Ow!" Lyra called as she was pulled upstairs, Leo looked back at the bag in his hands He took another bonbon out and left the house, he looked back at it and saw in the window Bon-Bon about to close the curtains but she stopped and waved at me.
He waved back at her and she closed the curtains, Leo continued to walk down the streets and saw Pinkie Pie hopping down the street, she stopped and spotted Leo and ran over to him. Leo was getting ready for another tackle but Pinkie at least stopped in front of him and hugged him.
"Hi Leo!" Pinkie said letting go of him. She looked at the bag in his hands and her eyes went wide. "You got a bag of Bon-Bon's bonbons?"
"Um, yeah." Leo said opening the bag, he took a bonbon out and handed it to Pinkie she gladly took it and ate it quickly. "Were you hungry?"
"No, I just wanted something sweet." Pinkie said hopping around him, Leo looked back down at the back bag and the bouncing girl. He smiled and took another one out and ate it.
"Here you go." Leo said handing her the bag, Pinkie stopped bouncing and looked back at him.
"Thank you!" She said taking the bag, she tightly hugged him and ran off with the bag. Leo shook his head and walked over to a park, he saw a large tree and climbed into it. He sat on a branch and saw the sun slowly setting, he reached into his pocket and removed the necklace Luna had given him.
"I can't believe I forgot about this." He said putting in onto his neck, he felt slightly lightheaded and almost fell out of the tree.
It's about time you put it on.
"Luna?" Leo said aloud looking around.
You put the connection stone on silly.
'Connection stone.' Leo thought as he lifted the necklace in his hand.
Yeah, just want to make sure to keep you company.
'That's kind of you Luna.'
Well I always have to make sure my subjects are happy.
'Good to know that.'
Leo looked at the setting sun and saw that the moon coming into view, he saw that itself was even casting light.
'You said you control the moon right?'
Yes, it's sad that nopony can actually see the moon.
'It's a real shame too, they all miss the beautiful night.'
You think my night is beautiful?
'Who doesn't? To anyone who think the night is just unbearable are idiots.'
That's very kind of you to say Leo.
'Your welcome Luna.'
Leo put his arms behind his head and closed his eyes.
'Man, I've been really tired lately.'
Could be the new environment.
'That or maybe all the crazy stuff I went through today.'
Either way.
'You know what, I'd rather sleep in a actual bed than a tree.'
Leo hopped down from the tree and walked out of the park.
Well, I've got to be getting to work with the moon. It's been nice talking with you again Leo.
'Likewise.'
Leo had reached Twilight's home and entered it, as he walked in and saw Twilight passed out with books around her. He walked over to her and shook her slightly to wake her up.
"Huh, what?" She said raising her head. She looked over to see Leo with a smile.
"You were studying something were you." Leo said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I get wrapped up in these things." Twilight said standing up, as she stood up she tripped and fell but Leo had caught her before she fell.
"I think my legs are still asleep." Twilight said feeling her legs, she looked back at Leo with a sheepish smile. "Do you think, you can maybe carry me?"
"I-I guess I can." He said as a blush formed slightly on his face. He turned around and let Twilight climb onto his back, she wrapped her arms around his neck and held tightly.
"Do you have to hold so tightly?" Leo complained as he walked up the stairs up to her room. Twilight let go slightly but held tightly still. "Never mind."
Leo got to her room and walked over to her head, as he turned to put her on the bed Leo felt a shudder run up his spine as he sat her down. When he did, Twilight had her legs run down his tail, she had been wearing a skirt and the fur from her legs had made it worst.
"Okay, there ya go." Leo said walking over to the door, he closed it and leaned against the door. He punched himself in the thigh to subdue the the tent he was making in his pants. He walked over to his room and plopped onto his bed and fell asleep quickly.
In Twilight's room she was sitting there with a small smirk on her face, she then moved her legs onto her bed and laid down think to herself.
'Why did I do that?'
Author's Note
Hello Everypony, Shadow here.
Sorry it took me so long getting this chapter out, been getting school thing done.
Until Next Time, I'll CYYYYAAAA!!!!
"Hello, old friend." A man in a suit wearing a fedora said in the darkness.
"What! I killed you!" Leo shouted shaking his head.
"Yes, you killed me in your world, but," He said as his body change to a strange dragon creature with limbs of other animals. "I'm still alive in this world."
"What the fuck do you want with me!"
"Simple. I just need the most fearsome warrior to help me wipe this little happy world out, and you going to help me."
"What make you think I will!"
"You'll join me eventually, I still need to break out of the damn stone prison and the changelings are working on that."
"I'm never going to help you!"
"Oh." He said popping in front of Leo and grabbing him by the throat. "And what makes you think I can't?"
"I'd, rather die, then help you!" Leo choked out as he was throw to the ground.
"You fool, no matter how much you resist, you'll still end up as my warrior."
"I don't care what you say or what you do! You'll never! Never! Control me!"
"This is just becoming a bore," He said yawning. "Just remember one name, and it's Discord!"
He snapped his fingers and everything turned white.
Leo opened his eyes and was staring up at the ceiling thinking about the dream he had, he sat up and looked around the room.
"Your, not, controlling, me." Leo said softly as he got out of the bed. As he stood up he moved his neck to the left and a loud crack was heard.
"That always wakes me up." He said moving his head around. He walked downstairs and was about to leave but he heard Twilight call his name.
"Leo don't you want to stay for some breakfast?"
"No, I'm not that hungry this morning." He said opening the door. "I'm just going out."
"Discord, that name sounds way to familiar." Leo said as he walked though the streets of Ponyville, he stopped in front of a store that had a brush on the front of it. Leo walked inside and saw drawing materials and pictures .
"Hello!" A mare with red fur and black mane walked in from another room. "Welcome to 'Colored Brush' how may I help you?"
"Um, yeah I would like to get a drawing journal." Leo said walking up to the counter.
"One second." She said ducking behind the counter, Leo looked back around the room at all the drawing in the room.
"Here you go." The mare said pulling out a journal and handing it to him. "That'll be five bits."
"Um, your not at all freaked out about..." Leo said opening his arms to show that he was different.
"Oh, not at all." She said with a smile. "I saw you at that party and you seemed friendly enough, by the way my name is Brush Stroke, but most just call me Brush."
"Well, it's nice to meet you." Leo said taking the bit out of the bag he had around his waist and handed her five bits.
"I'll see you around." Brush Stroke said as Leo left the shop. Leo was walking down the streets and saw the park he was in yesterday, he climbed the tree and took his jacket off and a pencil out. He began to think of drawing to make as he twisted the pencil in his hands.
He took his headphones out and placed them on his head he selected a songs that had always got his thoughts turning, as he listened he thought about drawing one of the new friends he had met.
The song had reminded him so much of the bubbly pink girl so he decided that would be most fitting, he started by drawing he legs and from that to a skirt. Once he reached the torso of the area he blushed at what he was then doing, he shook his head continued to draw more or less as he slowly drew the chest area.
He finally got the whole picture set up and now started to work on the shading part of the picture, once he was finished he erased any stray mark that he had made and the picture looked perfect.
"Oh that looks awesome!"
Leo jumped and fell out of the tree and onto the dirt ground, he looked up at the branch to see Pinkie sitting there with a smile on her face.
"How long have you been sitting there?" Leo asked as he stood up taking his headphones off.
"Um, about when you started to draw the top portion of me." She said with a giggle. Leo felt his face slightly heat up as she said that and cleared his thought.
"Anyway, is there a reason your here right now?"
"Oh, right." She said hopping down off the branch with Leo's jacket on her shoulder. "I just needed someone to come taste test these cupcakes I made."
"Why not get some one else to do it." Leo said taking his jacket off her shoulder and putting on.
"Well, Twilight said she was going to help Spike and organize the books, Rainbow Dash is working on weather patrol, Rarity is working on a clothing order, Fluttershy is helping out with here animals, and AppleJack is working on the farm."
"Fine." Leo said with a sigh. Pinkie giggled and led him to Sugar Cube Corner, once they were inside Pinkie pulled Leo into the kitchen and she held a tray of blue cupcakes.
I wouldn't eat any of those if I were you.
Leo shook his head as he heard that voice from the dream he had.
"Here, I don't know if these are to sweet or not." Pinkie said handing a cupcake to him.
Get ready for a sugar rush.
Leo ignored the voice he was hearing and took a bite of the cupcake, as soon as he did he felt the sugar surge through him and he swallowed the cupcake. He blinked a few time and quickly ate the rest of the cupcake.
"Oh, are they that good?" Pinkie said with a giggle. Leo looked at her in confusion, she didn't talk in her hyperactive voice like usual instead she sounded like a normal person actually.
"It is." Leo said looking around, he felt different. He looked over the counter and saw that the ponies in the room were moving slightly slower.
"Pinkie, what was in that cupcake?" Leo asked in a nervous tone.
"Oh, they weren't to sweet were they?"
"Well, counting the fact that every thing moves slower for me, and you don't sound all that hyperactive." Leo said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Oops, I may have put too much sugar in them." She said with a giggle.
"How much sugar?"
"Maybe, three, four, six cups of sugar."
"No wonder I feel energetic, you put a lot more sugar then there needs to be!"
"Sorry."
"Look, a sorry isn't going to fix this." Leo said with a sigh. "Just please watch how much sugar you use next time."
"Okie-Dokie Lokie." Pinkie said with a smile. "What should I do about these?" She said gesturing towards the cupcakes.
"Well, unless you want to have others have a hyperactive day then, yes." Leo said walking out of the store. He looked around the area and noticed that everyone around him was moving at a slow rate, he decided that if he was going to be some hyperactive freak he was going to sleep it off.

Rainbow Dash moved the last cloud into place and looked back at her weather patrol team.
"Good work every one, you all can head back now." She said waving a hand.
"See ya tomorrow Dash." Thunderlane said flying off. Cloud Chaser gave a wave to Rainbow Dash and flew off towards Thunderlane, Flitter let a annoyed sigh out and flew off on her own.
As Rainbow Dash flew back to her home she was throw off course by a black blur, she was spinning and crashed into a cloud. She stood up with a dazed look and quickly shook her head, she looked at the fading trail of the black blur and her left eye twitched.
"Is he trying to start a race?" She said with a chuckle, she quickly flew after him, as she started to catch up to him she saw him take a sharp turn to the left.
"How is he so fast!?" She shouted as she continued to follow him, as she followed him she could slightly see his face and saw he looked annoyed about something, she also notice that something was in his hands.
Before she could indentify what it was, he took another turn and landed on a cloud. Rainbow Dash let out a angry groan and flew to the cloud he was at.
"Hey what's the big idea!?" She yelled as she landed on the cloud, Leo turned around quickly and looked at her confused, he tilted his head to the left.
"You flew right by me causing me to crash into a cloud!" She shouted getting into his face. Leo opened his mouth to say something but he couldn't think of the words, actually he did know what to say he just couldn't because the cupcake Pinkie gave him made him hyperactive.
"Are you going to say something?!"
Leo took the drawing journal and opened it to a new page, he started to write down the words he would say, Rainbow Dash stood there with a angry look on her face. Leo turned the paper and showed her what he was trying to tell her.
'I can't talk.'
"Why can't you talk?" She said crossing her arms and staring at him, Leo then started to right down some more words.
'Pinkie gave me a sugar filled cupcake and now I'm as hyperactive as her.'
"You know what, I don't care!" She said shaking her head. "Just don't try that again!"
Leo nodded and watched as Rainbow Dash flew off looking back at Leo with a annoyed look, he waved at her as she left but she scoffed at his action and continued flying. Leo sighed and fell back onto the fluffy cloud and closed his eyes.
'How can Pinkie deal with a ll this energy in her body?' Leo thought as he raised his hand. 'It feels like I can keep moving, but I just want to sit here. Whatever.' He put his arms behind his head and slowly drifted to sleep.
'As a crazy poet once said "Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only of night."'

Leo opened his eyes and felt the sun shining on him, he sat up and and looked for the direction of the sun.
"Probably noon." Leo said standing up, he looked at his hand and moved it around. He felt normal now that the effects of the cupcake had worn off. Leo felt something vibrating in his pocket, he reached into his pocket and removed his phone. He flipped it open and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Leo, it's Vinyl."
"Oh, hi Vinyl, what do you want?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out.
"Sure, I got nothing better to do."
"Awesome, just come over to my store."
"Okay, see ya then."
"See ya soon."
Leo pressed end call on his phone and sighed as he jumped off the cloud, he slowly glided down to the ground and landed with ease. He walked down the streets and saw the store in the distance, he reached walked in to see Vinyl bent over goin through the cash register.
"V-Vinyl?" Leo said blushing blushing, Vinyl turned around with a smile on her face.
"Hey Leo, got here in a hurry did ya then?" She asked with a smirk.
"I had nothing better to do so I came here." He said with a shrug.
"You and me both." Vinyl said with a laugh, she walk over and put a hand on Leo's shoulder. "How about we go get a drink, on me."
"Vinyl, I should be the one paying, I still own you for the P-Pod." Leo said holding up the device. Vinyl smiled and threw on her purple shades.
"Nah, I'm still buying for you." She said leaving the store, Leo quickly followed behind her with a small smile. "So have you drank before?"
"Well, only once." He said with a shrug.
"How strong was it?"
"Pretty strong stuff, I had one bottle and I was drunk."
"Huh, then the stuff at the bar won't cut it." She said pulling his arm.
"Wait, where are we going?"
"My place." She said smiling at him, she continued to pull him until they reached a white two story house. "Here we are." She said opening the door and letting him in. "Yo Tavi, I'm home and brought a guest."
"Who's Tavi?" Leo asked confused.
"She's my roommate, she's really nice once you get to know her." Vinyl said with a smile, soon a mare with a grey fur and black mane walk in, she seemed to have been wearing a common house outfit.
"Vinyl, it's nice to see that you brought such a..." She looked Leo up and down a bit. "Unique...pony..."
"Easy Tavi, he's cool." She said walking over to her and patting her back.
"I'm not going to hurt you or anything if that's what you think." Leo said with a shrug, Octavia blinked a bit and shook her head.
"I'm sorry, I'm being rude." She said walking up to him. "My name is Octavia, it's a pleasure to meet you." She said smiling as she stuck her hand out.
'Ho boy, another fancy one, meh there all not that bad.' He thought as he shook her hand. "Names Leo, pleasure to meet you as well."
"Got introductions out of the way? Great!" Vinyl said putting an arm over there shoulders over them pulling them closer. "Time to get wasted!"
"Ah, ah, ah, Vinyl." Octavia said pulling her head back and crossing her arms. "You honestly think I'm gonna get drunk just like that, you're simply out of your mind."
"Come on Tavi, we have an amazing guest here and you're telling me you just don't want a little?" Vinyl said with as she still had her arm over Leo's shoulder, he put on a small smile towards her.
"Ugh, fine." She said looking down at the ground. "Better not get weird."
"Pfft...when do things ever get weird." Vinyl said walking into what was a kitchen. "You two go wait in the living room."
Leo shruged and walked into the living room, Octavia slowly walked behind him.
"So...tell me about your self Leo..." Octavia said sitting on the couch, Leo sighed loudly and sat down not to close to her.
"Ugh...I really don't like talking about it." He said rubbing his head. "Just...ask Vinyl or something..."
"Oh...I'm sorry if I brought anything up." She said biting her lip and looking away. Soon Vinyl walked in with two bottles of wine.
"Let's get drunk!" She shouted raising a bottle.
"We're not, getting drunk." Octavia said annoyed.
"Whatever..." She said rolling her eyes as she tossed a bottle to Leo, he caught it easily and popped the cork.
"Here." Vinyl said pouring a glass for Octavia, she took it and sigh softly. "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Leo and Octavia said taking a drink of their wine, and the drinking began.
