The door to Fluttershy's cottage opened up for Fluttershy herself to step out and welcome the bright, sun shining day. Her face bore a care free, life loving smile as she looked up at the mostly clear blue sky that had the sun on display. It was the first time in several days that Fluttershy got to bore such a smile as she had on her face at that moment. Another thing Fluttershy was able to do in her normal manner that she wasn't able to for those same several days was check on her animals. She walked and flew around and checked the pens, bird houses, among other habitats that surrounded her home. Fluttershy noticed right away that most of them could use some more food. Unfortunately she was running low on animal feed and the like.

The loving pony sought out to remedy this. To this end, she took a walk into town. Fluttershy brought her wagon along to carry the heavy bags of feed she planned on purchasing. As she pulled the wooden vehicle along towards Ponyville, Fluttershy was surprised to find she was feeling good enough to skip into town. She was feeling so joyous that Fluttershy was even able to hum a little tune as she went along her way. Fluttershy couldn't even remember the last time she was feeling good enough emotionally to just skip and sing her way anywhere. In a way, it almost felt like today was going to be a normal day despite the problems Equestria still faced ahead of it.

It even got to the point where Fluttershy was able to turn her humming into actual singing.

"La, le, la, le, la, le, la," Fluttershy sang as she skipped her way into Ponyville.

When she entered the town, Fluttershy was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of other ponies seemed to be feeling the same way as her. Everypony looked to have care free smiles similar to Fluttershy's own as they walked through the streets. It was the busiest Ponyville had looked since the kaiju attack it suffered a while ago. Another aspect that most likely added to the town and its citizen's happier and brighter atmosphere was that most of the debris from the attack was finally gone. It was true that there were still empty spaces left where the buildings used to stand. It was a cold reminder of Ponyville's darkest hour, but at least new buildings would be built in place of the fallen ones. Also, it didn't look as though Ponyville would be attacked again anytime soon.

Luckily it seemed as though most ponies weren't letting these eye sores bother them anymore. Instead it looked like everypony was having a normal day like Fluttershy was and she was very thankful for it. Part of the reason Fluttershy was so happy to see this was because she knew why everyone was so calm and relaxed. It was the same reason she was so calm and joyful herself. It was because everyone knew that Godzilla was watching over them after he was revealed to Ponyville and to an extension, the world the night before. While Fluttershy was certainly happy about all that, the revelation of Godzilla existence relieved her in another way as well.

Since revealing Godzilla to her friends and everyone else, Fluttershy had confessed her lies. She was able to remove the veil she had been trying to keep over Godzilla's presence in Equestria and the lies she told to him as well. Now that the lies were all revealed, forgiven, and buried in the past, along with everything else, Fluttershy was able to walk around and feel like her old self again. Feeling as such, Fluttershy walked through the once again happy streets of Ponyville until she reached the shop where she usually bought her animal feed. Fluttershy left her wagon outside as she went into the shop. It delighted her to see that the atmosphere around was just as bright as it was everywhere else in Ponyville thus far.

"Ah, hello there, Miss Fluttershy!" said the shop owner as energetic and joyful as ever. In other words, the way he usually was, at least so far as Fluttershy had seen. "Top of the morning to ya and the rest of the day for me."

The yellow furred, white maned stallion busted out laughing at his own joke, which made Fluttershy beam with amusement.

"Good morning, Mr. Grinning Tail. How are you?" asked Fluttershy.

"Oh, fine, fine. I think we all are after hearing about how that Godzilla kaiju took down four of them bad ones in just two days. FOUR GIANT MONSTERS IN ONLY TWO DAYS! Can you believe it?!" Grinning Tail exclaimed in amazement.

The stallion's enthusiasm made Fluttershy giggle cheerfully.

"It certainly seems like Godzilla's making things better already doesn't it?" asked Fluttershy.

"Oh, most definitely. You know, Miss Fluttershy, I hear you played a big part in getting Equestria on our guardian kaiju's good side."

"Oh, I wouldn't say that."

"I would." Grinning Tail turned slightly more serious than he usually was. "Don't ever make light of your importance in this role, Miss Fluttershy. Don't take any other roles you play in life lightly either. Important ponies deserve to feel important. ...Something tells me you're an especially important pony, Miss Fluttershy, no matter what you're doing."

Fluttershy was slightly taken aback by the shop owner's sudden words. While the sternness in his speech was jarring, most of what he was saying was actually very touching to Fluttershy. She let the words and heat of the moment sink in before she nodded her head and replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Grinning Tail, I'll take what you said here today to heart."

"That's great to hear!" Grinning Tail exclaimed once again in his usual upbeat manner. "So, I take it you would like your usual supply of feed?"

Fluttershy didn't answer at first, still being a little flabbergasted by Grinning Tail's mood swing. However, she was able to get a hold of herself, slightly shaking her head and blinking her eyes to snap out of her haze before she replied.

"Oh! Um... Yes, Mr. Grinning Tail, the same amount. Yes, please."

Grinning Tail responded to Fluttershy with a slightly bewildered facial expression.

"Really? ...You mean you don't want a little something... extra for your newest animal?"

"Oh, no, thank you. I already have a friend who's taking care of that."

Fluttershy chuckled a little as she remembered when she asked that friend to be Godzilla's feeder and how he reacted.

"Oh, I see. Then like you said before, the same amount of feed. I'll have two ponies load it up onto your wagon," said Grinning Tail.

He punched in Fluttershy's order, called up two stallions and gave them the order. Then they were sent off to load up Fluttershy's wagon. Once the multi pound bags were all in the back of the wagon, Fluttershy attempted to pay Grinning Tail the price of the feed.

"No, no, Miss Fluttershy. How many times must I tell you? It is on the house," said Grinning Tail.

Fluttershy looked at him with both gratitude and a little confusion.

"Are you sure you can keep affording to give me free animal food like this?" asked Fluttershy.

"Sure, I have many other customers who come to me for such goodies," said Grinning Tail.

"Oh, Grinning Tail, then why do you give it to me free while everypony else has to pay?" asked Fluttershy.

"Because there's something special about you, Miss Fluttershy, I can tell. I saw it the first day you came into my shop and I still see it to this day," Grinning Tail replied.

Fluttershy smiled while she also lightly blushed at the kind stallion's words.

"Thank you oh so much, Mr. Grinning Tail. From now on, you don't have to call me miss. You can just call me Fluttershy."

Grinning Tail grinned in response.

"Okay, I'll do that from now on, Fluttershy."

"See you later. Goodbye," said Fluttershy as she hooked herself back up to her wagon and began to trot away.

Her next stops were several fruit and vegetable stands to buy more food for her animals. The farmer's market was beginning to come back in full swing since the debris had been cleared and ponies had found it within their selves to start selling and buying again. Nothing major happened during Fluttershy's trips to the stands like what happened at the animal feed shop. All that was of notice was how the ponies selling at the stands seemed to be bright and happy like everypony else in town. Once Fluttershy had finished up all her shopping, she made her way back home to her cottage.

As she went along her way, Fluttershy heard a familiar voice call out, "Hey, Fluttershy!"

She turned to where she thought she heard the voice come from. Fluttershy beamed with delight when she spotted Twilight Sparkle and Spike walking towards her with two very important out of town guests in tow. Whenever they would pass by, ponies in the crowd would stop and bow for them. This was because these ponies were none other than the royal sisters who ruled over Equestria, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Why doesn't Twilight get that kind of respect? Fluttershy thought to herself. But she quickly put it out of her head. She was just happy to see Twilight, Spike, and the princesses as they made their way towards her.

"Hello, Twilight. Hello, Spike. Hello, Princesses," said Fluttershy, bowing as she addressed the royal sisters. Then she added, "You honor Ponyville with your presence."

The two princesses' eyes shut tight as they looked on gratefully.

"Why thank you, Fluttershy. You honor us with yours," said Princess Celestia.

Fluttershy looked up in surprise before standing up straight.

"Really?" asked Fluttershy.

"Most certainly. While we feel honored with the love and admiration of all Equestria's children," Luna started off.

"Yours means quite a lot to us as well. Especially after hearing how important you were in securing Equestria a hope for a brighter future," Celestia finished.

Fluttershy's smile faded into a small frown as she remembered the lies she told in the past.

"I just wished I handled that role a lot better than what I did," said Fluttershy.

"Ah, you didn't so so bad," said Spike. "We got a kaiju don't we? He's our friend isn't he? You must have done something right. So please don't beat yourself up about it too much."

"Spike is right, Fluttershy. The past is the past. What matters is now and how we proceed on into the future," said Princess Celestia.

"And we all have a feeling your role will get even more important as time goes on," said Princess Luna.

Fluttershy couldn't stop herself from blushing and smiling bashfully.

"We also have absolute confidence that you'll rise to the occasion when it counts the most," said Princess Celestia.

"Really?" asked Fluttershy.

The two princesses nodded their heads reassuringly.

Knowing both head rulers of Equestria had put such faith in her made Fluttershy blush even more. Everyone else reacted with little chuckles of amusement at the pegasus's shyness.

"Wow... I can't believe it."

"Don't act so surprised, Fluttershy," said Twilight Sparkle. "You've always been special, even before you became the in between for us and Godzilla. And it's about time someone let you know it. Who better than everyone who loves you?"

"Oh, Twilight, you're so sweet. All of you are and I thank you for being that way."

"You seem to have that affect on ponies, Fluttershy," said Princess Celestia.

"Ain't it the truth?" added Spike.

Fluttershy had seen it so many times before and she was happy to see it again. She had the best friends in the entire world.

"Anyways, I guess I don't need to tell you why the princesses are here?"

"No, Twilight, I know all too well why they're here. And I'd be happy to introduce them to Godzilla," said Fluttershy.

" 'Godzilla'. Such a powerful name," Princess Luna noted.

"Yes, it is, but once you see him, I'm sure you'll agree that it suits him nicely," said Fluttershy.

"I'm sure of it, Fluttershy. Will you do the honors of taking us to meet Godzilla?"

"Oh, yes indeed, Princess Celestia. If you would all just follow me."

With that, Fluttershy began to walk onward in the direction of her cottage with Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and the royal sisters following close behind. As they walked on, conversation was stirred up again; this time by Spike.

"You know, even though he scared the daylights out of me when I first saw him last night, I'm actually looking forward to officially meeting Godzilla for the first time. I'll bet he's super cool!"

"I'll tell you one thing's for sure, while he may be big and even scary looking, deep down he's really nice and very sweet," said Fluttershy.

"I can vouch for that," said Twilight Sparkle. "Even though the time we spent together was short, he did saved me. I also got to know him a little bit afterwards. I truly believe the spell was right in picking Godzilla as the most pure of heart kaiju," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Amazing. I never would've believed a beast among those group together as kaiju could be a being such as you described," said Princess Luna.

"Admittedly, I wouldn't have been able to believe it either if I hadn't spent so much time with Godzilla and seen it for myself," said Fluttershy.

"Neither would I. Even though the ancient legend said there were kaiju out there like that, I just found it hard to believe. Especially after seeing how... menacing and destructive the ones that came before Godzilla were. But now that I've met Godzilla and seen him in action, I know it's true. There are good kaiju," said Twilight Sparkle.

Both princesses smiled enthusiastically when they heard all these great things Twilight and Fluttershy had to say about Godzilla.

"This Godzilla sounds like a truly remarkable creature. I'm truly excited to meet him," said Princess Celestia.

"Me, too!" exclaimed Spike.

The plan was originally for Spike and several others to meet Godzilla personally the night before when his existence was revealed to Ponyville. However, the fatigue of the kaiju's activities that day had finally caught up to him. He was down right exhausted, so instead, Fluttershy took him back to his home in the Everfree Forest where he would sleep for the night. He would meet everyone else another time. Now it would seem that Spike's proper introduction to Godzilla was going to coincide with the princesses' introductions to the Alpha Predator as well. The young dragon made no attempt to hide his excitement about it either.

"So, you both saw him fight. Is he, like, super, mega strong? I'll bet he can hold his own in a fight with those bad monsters!"

"Right on both accounts, Spike," said Twilight Sparkle.

"I knew it! Can he breath fire?"

"Uh... sort of," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Sort of?" asked Spike, confusion plain on his face.

"Well... he breaths something... It's not fire... but it is. I mean, kind of. It's..."

Twilight Sparkle found herself having the most difficult of times trying to describe Godzilla's atomic breath. Then again, she didn't know much about it or understand it herself. So it was no wonder why she was having a hard time.

"It's like a breath that's kind of like fire," Fluttershy chimed in, "but it looked as though it might be much more powerful."

"Whoa," said Spike in awe. " 'Cause I was looking at Godzilla and I was thinking, 'maybe he could be a dragon'. I mean, he did kind of look like me, don't ya think?"

Everypony laughed with amusement; their facial expressions conveying the same thing.

"Maybe I should've called him Spike number two," said Fluttershy.

Spike's eyes lit up for a moment, but went back to normal only a half second later.

"Nah, as cool as that would be, I think Godzilla's a much cooler name. It suits him better."

"I agree, Spike," said Twilight Sparkle.

A short time later, the group arrived at Fluttershy's cottage. Fluttershy herself had detached herself from her wagon and quickly went around and fed her animals. Right afterwards, everyone had gathered behind the cottage, past the animal pens, and stood on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest. Before any of them could do anything else, a flash of light appeared before their eyes. When the light faded, an obviously annoyed Discord stood before them. Fluttershy caught onto her friend's agitated state and went over to comfort him.

"What's the matter, Discord?"

" 'What's the matter?' 'What's the matter?!' I'll tell you what's the matter! How is it that I, the embodiment of chaos and the most powerful being in Equestria is regulated to the demeaning role of feeding an overgrown, glorified pet lizard on steroids?!"

"Well, it's an important job," said Fluttershy.

"An important job? All I do is snap my fingers to make more food for that giant lizard and then watch him gorge himself and then do it all over again."

"Hey, he needs to gorge!" Spike interjected. "That's the only way monsters know have to eat! Besides, it keeps his strength up!"

"Oh, pipe down, shorty," said Discord as he snapped his fingers.

In a flash of light, a heavy metal pipe appeared in Spike's hands. The weight of the object instantly dropped the baby dragon to the ground.

"Knock it off, Discord!" exclaimed Twilight Sparkle with a glare on her face.

Fluttershy turned Discord's returning glare away from the alicorn and onto her.

"Now, now, Discord, I know you're upset, but you shouldn't take it out on other ponies," said Fluttershy. Discord's angry glare faded into a small frown. Fluttershy gave him a sympathetic look as she took his paw in her front hooves. "You really shouldn't be like this, Discord. What you're doing really is important."

"Humph," Discord let out as he looked away.

"Well, it's important to me," said Fluttershy.

Discord turned back to his friend with an unsure look on his face.

"Well..."

"Okay, look at it this way. We need Godzilla to stay strong and healthy so he can defend Equestria and one of the best ways to do that is to keep him well fed. By you being the one to feed him, in a way you are the one keeping Equestria from suffering total devastation. Also, you're helping Equestria further by keeping Godzilla calm because you keep him fed. Because of that, he shouldn't go on some... hunger rampage or something. So you see? You are helping and playing a big part by feeding Godzilla."

A proud and bold smile slowly formed on Discord's face as he heard Fluttershy's words and let them sink in. Fluttershy took notice of this, making her own supportive smile.

"So now what do you say?" asked Fluttershy.

A flash of light later and Discord was wearing an army helmet and saluting.

"I accept this responsibility, understanding the consequences you've bestowed upon me," said Discord. He disappeared from the ground in a flash of light and reappeared floating above Fluttershy and the others. "I'll be back later for the beast's evening feeding. Until then, ta-ta, everypony. Keep your workout regiment going, Spike. Remember, no pain, no gain."

As Discord disappeared, two smaller, yet still heavy pipes appeared in Spike's hands. The weight of these pipes once again dragged the dragon child crashing down to the ground. Twilight Sparkle tried to check on Spike as he stood back up. He seemed to be fine, though he did have an annoyed look on his face.

"I really don't like that guy," said Spike.

Twilight Sparkle put a hoof on his shoulder as she said, "Yeah, he's not one of my favorite ponies either, but you shouldn't let him get to you, though. That's what he wants; for you to get upset. You have to be better than what he wants. You have to be better than him."

Spike let out a sigh before he replied.

"Yeah, I know. You're right, Twilight." Spike perked himself up and put on a smile for Twilight Sparkle. "I won't let him get to me! No way!"

"At a boy, Spike," said Twilight Sparkle with a motherly tone in her voice.

"Well, my little ponies, shall we?" inquired Princess Luna.

"Oh, yes, of course, Your Highness. If you'll just follow me, I'll take you to Godzilla's den."

"Lead the way, Fluttershy," said Princess Celestia.

Fluttershy bowed respectfully to the royal sisters before proceeding with escorting them, along with Twilight Sparkle and Spike. She expertly led them through the bowels of the Everfree Forest. No more words were said the rest of the way. Instead, the group looked around at the sights of the Everfree Forest. These sights were familiar to all of them, for they all had many a trek through this particular forest. These said sights usually tended to make those within this group uncomfortable. The sights were usually omens of impending danger within the Everfree Forest. However, this time everypony was calm for the most part. The royal sisters were calm because of their immensely powerful alicorn magic was sure to protect them from any threat. The other three were calm because they knew no matter what they would come across, they were safe.

That which guaranteed their protection was the massive creature they were on their way to meet. It seemed like no time had gone by at all when the group was mere feet away from the edge of the clearing where Godzilla dwelt. Fluttershy stopped everypony at this moment and then raised a hoof to the side of her mouth.

"Godzilla," Fluttershy called out.

Twilight, Spike, Celestia, and Luna stood back patiently and waited to see what would happen next. They did not have to wait long, as there was a slight rumbling sound, along with an echoing moan. The source of that moan was revealed to be Godzilla as he stood up straight, his upper body rising high over the tops of every tree around him. While the reptilian titan stretched out the muscles in his arms and so on, everypony gazed up at him in amazed awe. Fluttershy did not show so much awe as the others because she had spent so much time with Godzilla before. Twilight and Spike on the other hand still had to get used to the sight of the King of Monsters.

The ponies who displayed the most amazement at Godzilla's incredible presence were Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. It was true that they had lived longer than most ponies in Equestria, give or take a decade or two and had seen many things. Yet, they could safely say they've never seen anything like Godzilla before. His size and overall outer appearance was simply a sight to behold. Despite how powerful the two alicorns were and how many adventures they partook in and cataclysmic events they experienced, Godzilla just seemed to top them all.

"Well, Princesses, shall I introduce you to Godzilla?" asked Fluttershy.

Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Fluttershy all looked to the two alicorns and waited for their reply. They did not at first, for they were still staring up at Godzilla and all his monstrous greatness. It was like they had not heard what Fluttershy said at all. Everypony around Celestia and Luna could tell by the awe struck looks on their faces that they probably didn't. Fluttershy wasn't offended though, understanding full well the position they were in. She and Twilight Sparkle both remembered their first times looking upon Godzilla. They were still very impressed at the sight of the kaiju even still. They've just learned to handle it, Fluttershy more than Twilight, but still.

Spike on the other hand was in pretty much the same position as the princesses. This was only the second time he ever saw Godzilla and the last time wasn't nearly as long as Twilight Sparkle's. He did manage to get a hold of himself though. Now it was just a matter of getting Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to do the same.

"Um, Princesses?"

Fluttershy's words seemed to get through to the two sisters and snapped them out of their trance. They lightly shook their heads as they rapidly blinked their eyes multiple times.

"Huh?!" Princess Celestia let out.

"What?!" exclaimed Princess Luna.

Fluttershy cleared her throat, which made the alicorn princesses look to her.

"Would you like me to introduce you to him?"

"Uh- Yes, Fluttershy! Of course," said Princess Celestia in a shaky voice.

"L-l-Lead the way," added Princess Luna.

Fluttershy respectfully bowed her head before saying, "As you wish."

She then led the group out into the opening where Godzilla stood waiting for them. He had spotted them through the trees, but kept himself calm and waited patiently despite seeing his friends coming. He also took notice that they were with three potential new friends as well. While Fluttershy walked over to Godzilla like he were just another pony, everyone else approached him rather cautiously. Twilight Sparkle still wasn't sure which way to move around Godzilla was safe. Spike decided not to move at all, climbing up onto Twilight's back instead. This was Celestia and Luna's first time ever being around Godzilla or any kaiju. To say they were nervous would be a huge understatement.

But while they did feel skittish around him, that was overtaken with emotions more akin to fascination. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's vision of Godzilla was no longer half obscured. They were now able to see his full form. Both were even more amazed by what they saw now than what they had initially seen. Despite also being partially distracted by the sight of Godzilla, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Spike couldn't help but turn an eye towards the royal sisters. Never before had they seen either alicorn princess with the wide eyed, awe struck, amazed looks on their faces they had at that moment. It was a surreal sight to say the least. It was almost as amazing a sight as Godzilla; 'almost' being the key word.

As Fluttershy and the others got closer, Godzilla took notice at how much more majestic the two new ponies seemed to be. Their outer appearance fascinated him, almost as much as his fascinated them. He also took notice of the little creature on Twilight Sparkle's back. He hadn't gotten a chance to meet Spike the night before or even get a good look at him amongst the crowd. His appearance was a surprise to Godzilla, but a welcomed one. Fluttershy saw the kaiju preparing himself to sit, knowing all the signs. Fluttershy held out a forelimb as she looked back to the others behind her and said, "Stop."

Twilight Sparkle, with Spike still on her back, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna did as their guide instructed. Then they looked on as Fluttershy turned her head up towards Godzilla.

"Godzilla, sit," Fluttershy instructed.

Everyone was stunned when Godzilla moaned out a roar as he nodded his head. They watched with just as much surprise as the giant monster obediently sat himself down. It was hard for them all to believe that a giant monster could take commands like a trained pet, even for Twilight Sparkle, who had seen it once before. After Godzilla sat down, he waited with an expecting and curious look on his face. Fluttershy returned it with a motherly expression before turning towards those behind her.

"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you, the guardian kaiju of Equestria and, I'm happy to say, one of my dearest friends. This is Godzilla," Fluttershy announced. The yellow pony then turned back to the sitting kaiju. "Godzilla, I'd like to introduce you to, the two alicorns who rule over Equestria, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."

The two alicorns gasped when they saw Godzilla bow his head to them as if to show them the same respect their pony subjects usually do. It was even more bizarre when he actually waved his hand in a greeting way afterwards.

"My word!" exclaimed Princess Luna.

"That's incredible," said Princess Celestia in a voice that was barely above a whisper.

Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy couldn't help but be amused by the princesses' reactions. That was only because they mirrored Fluttershy and Twilight's own faces from when they first met Godzilla.

"They're also in charge of raising and lowering both the sun and moon to give us day and night," said Fluttershy.

Godzilla gazed at Celestia and Luna with a look of admiration. He knew it must take someone really powerful to move such objects bigger than him. And one of them even bigger than the planet itself. While Princess Celestia had a hard time reading Godzilla's facial features, Luna caught on rather quickly. She saw the impressed feelings in his gaze and how friendly he was trying to make himself look to her and her sister. Once Celestia caught on, both she and Princess Luna were able to turn their open mouth expressions into smiles. They still conveyed amazement, though, which was to be expected.

Seeing how well the introductions between the princesses and Godzilla were progressing excited Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and even Spike very greatly.

"They are also responsible for bringing you here to Equestria like Twilight Sparkle was. They helped her along with a few others in casting the spell that brought you here," said Fluttershy.

Everyone noticed how much Godzilla's face lit up once Fluttershy told him that bit of information. It was too big for anyone to miss, even those who had not yet learned exactly how to read the King of Monsters' facial expressions yet. It even got a little laugh out of the group around him. Godzilla let out a low roar, which Fluttershy responded to by nodding her head before looking to the royal sisters.

"Godzilla says thank you both, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna for the part you played in bringing him to Equestria," Fluttershy translated. She then looked to Godzilla as he let out another low roar before turning back to the alicorns. "He also says that since he's been here, he's almost never been happier. Because of the hospitality and friendship we've shown him, it's his honor to protect the entire land of Equestria from the evil kaiju it now faces," Fluttershy translated further.

Celestia and Luna looked from Fluttershy up to Godzilla with grateful smiles, finally being able to hide some of the wonder from their facial expressions.

"Well, great Godzilla," Princess Celestia started to say, "we're happy to see that you have found such comfort and peace in our fair country. However, it is us who should be thanking you for being so noble and defending us from evil's might."

"That's right, because of your selflessness, it seems our once dark future has a chance to become a brighter tomorrow. It could only be through a being like you that is so obviously powerful and mighty, yet good of heart and spirit that it could be so," said Princess Luna.

Everyone saw through Godzilla's facial features and body language that the princesses' heart felt words touched him. It was amazing that a monster who like Godzilla who looked like he should have a will made of granite stone could be so emotional. Still, it was there right before the very eyes of Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, Luna, and Spike. They saw it and it warmed their hearts to see how much love could be in Godzilla. It was nothing compared to how warm his own heart was, though. Godzilla looked to Fluttershy and let out a low roar, after which, she turned to the princesses to translate.

"Godzilla wants to thank you both for your kind words towards him. He feels really touched and honored. He says you're too kind and that he thinks you are two of the best princesses he's ever met. ...Not to mention the only ones outside of Twilight." Everyone had a quick laugh at that observation, after which, Fluttershy finished her translation. "He considers it an honor to serve such amazing and beautiful rulers such as you."

"Oh, aren't you just sweet? Well, it isn't just us you're serving," said Princess Luna.

"You'll also be serving all of Equestria," said Princess Celestia.

Godzilla roared out, which Fluttershy again translated.

"He knows and he's happy to do it. He hopes that by doing this he'll touch our hearts the way we touched his," said Fluttershy.

Everyone else gazed up happily at Godzilla. Was there any end to the surprises he was capable of? It was the question on everypony's mind as they stared up at Godzilla in amazement. It was during this awe struck gazing that the two princesses were once again entranced by the sheer awesomeness of Godzilla's outer appearance.

"Wow. ...What a beast?" Princess Luna whispered in amazement.

"He's magnificent," said Princess Celestia.

"Yeah, he is," said Spike as he ran up to the princesses' side.

"In more ways than one," Twilight Sparkle added as she came up behind Spike.

Fluttershy's eyes widened in realization.

"Oh, I just remembered that you still haven't met Godzilla yet, Spike. Would you like to?" said Fluttershy.

Spike's eyes lit up, but slowly dimmed into nervousness. The baby dragon's switch of emotion's was noticed right away by Twilight Sparkle, who placed a hoof on her assistance's shoulder. This made Spike look back to see Twilight's motherly face smiling at him.

"It's okay, Spike. He's a friendly guy and he's very gentle. You'll see, Spike, he'll treat you nicely and be careful around you when go to meet him, I promise," said Twilight Sparkle.

Spike touched his hand to Twilight's hoof as he looked at it. He looked away for a moment, but then turned his eyes to Twilight. Seeing the sure smile on her face installed confidence in Spike and made him smile back as he nodded his head.

"Alright, Twilight, I'm ready to meet him."

"At a boy, Spike. Let's go up to see him together."

"Okay."

"Come along, you two," said Fluttershy.

She led Spike and Twilight Sparkle up closer to Godzilla, who looked down in curiosity. He saw the greeting smiles of Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle, but caught sight of the look on Spike's face. It was a mixture of excitement and uncertainty, possibly even slight fear. Godzilla did not want to make anyone feel this way. Though he understood perfectly why smaller creatures would feel so around him. He was also extremely curious about Spike. He was quite clearly not a pony, but instead shared more similarities with Godzilla, himself. He had scales like Godzilla, though their scales were of different colors. Also Spike had a row of plates going from the top of his head down to the end of his tail. This was also a similar detail to one of Godzilla's own, though he had three rows.

While there were also similarities in their posture, as well as others, there were also many differences to be sure. Needless to say there's no way Spike was another Godzilla. After another glance, Godzilla saw that Spike also shared some subtle similarities with another creature he's seen before. That would be the dragon he had chased away from Fluttershy when he first arrived in Equestria. Was this cute little creature related to that beast somehow? Would he grow up to be a pony eater like that dragon seemed to be? If he was, then why is he hanging around ponies? Did they ask him to? Did he ask if he could? What would it bring about to have a dragon grow up surrounded by ponies and how dangerous could it be?

All these questions ran through Godzilla's head, so much so that it started to make his head ache. It was jarring for him to see a dragon living amongst the pony population. Perhaps as jarring as it would be for a giant creature to live amongst so many smaller creatures? Godzilla realized the similarity and realized that he shouldn't go about Spike that way. He sure never wanted anyone to be like that to him. So, Godzilla kept an open mind as he looked down upon Spike.

"Godzilla, this is Spike," said Fluttershy as she pointed a hoof to the dragon youngster.

Godzilla gazed on as Spike waved to him with a warm expression on his face. He couldn't help but be surprised when Godzilla waved back, despite seeing him do it once before.

"Spike is another one of our very special friends. You remember I was telling you that Twilight had an assistant? Well, that assistant would be Spike. He lives with Twilight at the Golden Oaks Library and works as her full time assistant, aiding her in countless tasks," said Fluttershy.

"He's been a great help to me and everypony else you've met so far. He's become a really good friend, too. In that way, he's a lot like you," said Twilight Sparkle.

"It is my understanding that he even saved a whole empire once," said Princess Luna.

This new piece of information made Godzilla's eyes widened as he continued to look down at Spike.

"That's right, he did. He was a big hero that day" said Twilight Sparkle. She then looked up at Godzilla with the same smile all ponies seemed to have as their default facial expression. "Kind of like how you're being a big hero by saving all of Equestria right now, Godzilla."

The kaiju responded with a look of gratitude to Twilight Sparkle. She was able to tell what his expression meant right away. It would appear some ponies were able to pick up on the meaning of Godzilla's facial expressions faster than others. Applejack and Rarity both admitted that they would probably have a hard time figuring them out. Twilight Sparkle thought she would, too, but she has caught on rather well thus far. This was a fact she was very proud of and happy about.

Godzilla turned his gaze back to Spike. The young dragon had his hands behind his back as he swayed back and forth with an embarrassed, blushing face at everyone's words towards him. Godzilla roared out a comment about Spike, which Fluttershy was quick to translate.

"Godzilla says he's quite impressed to hear of your feats and accomplishments, Spike." Godzilla roared out again, which Fluttershy also translated. "He said that he's also pleased about what kind of friend you've been to all of us. That's something he hopes by the end of his duties here he'll emulate from you. He says it would be among the other things you and he already have in common."

Spike gaped up at Godzilla with big, bright eyes. He responded with a look of amusement at the young dragon's reaction.

"Wow! You felt it, too?! You also thought we were a lot alike?!" Spike exclaimed. Godzilla nodded in reply to Spike's questions while keeping the amusement on his face. "Wow, that's so amazing! Who would've thought two unexpected heroes like us would wind up coming across each other, right?! It was like this epic meeting was meant to be!" Spike asked as he jumped up and down with his hands up to his lower face.

Everypony laughed out in delight at the excitement, energy, and enthusiasm Spike was putting into his words and his actions. It made their day even more to see Godzilla was just as upbeat as everyone else around him. His eyes shut tightly as his face lit up, a trait he most likely picked up from Fluttershy. Shortly afterwards, everyone took a few seconds or so to relax and let their high emotions settle.

"I bet you'll be just as successful in your hero quest as I was in mine," Spike said to Godzilla.

"I'm sure he'll succeed, too. He's too amazing of a creature, too amazing of a living being not to," said Twilight Sparkle, giving Godzilla her seal of approval.

Godzilla stared with a gracious expression, while everyone stared up with bright, beaming smiles.

"I know he'll save all of Equestria," said Fluttershy.

"So do I," said Princess Celestia.

"I believe so as well," said Princess Luna.

"A brave, strong, and generous soul like yours, Godzilla, that is willing to defend the ones he loves and everypony else around them with good on their side is sure to prevail when it counts the most. I truly believe that this is your future, Godzilla, and you should, too, " said Princess Celestia.

"You've already ridden our land of four of these evil demons. The determination and the other attributes Princess Celestia spoke of that you have are sure signs to me that you will succeed, Godzilla," said Twilight Sparkle.

Godzilla roared out a reply to everyone's vote of confidence. Most of these ponies he had only met just very recently. Yet the way they spoke and made him feel, it was like they had been his friends for many a year. It was a good feeling to say the least. Once Godzilla had finished his roar, Fluttershy was quick to translate.

"Godzilla says thank you all the good things you've said about him, It really makes him feel like his life was worth living to have made friends like you who would say such nice things," said Fluttershy.

"If only we could do more for you than merely speak kind words. You deserve much more for all you've done for Equestria thus far and for your continued services as well," said Princess Luna.

"We'd be more than willing to do something to show you our appreciation, Godzilla. We just need to figure out what that will be. For your heroism, you deserve nothing but the absolute best," said Princess Celestia.

Godzilla let out a low roar in reply. What he had to say made Fluttershy giggle as her eyes shut tightly. Then she turned to the others to translate Godzilla's words.

"He says that our continuing friendship is thanks enough. As long as we stay the peaceful beings that we are, we'll always have a defender and more importantly, a friend in him."

Everypony looked around, wanting to see the reaction on each others faces. They were pretty much the same touched and sentimental smiles all around. Godzilla just seemed to be able to bring out the most heart felt of emotions in the ponies he meets, surprisingly. The ponies and dragon all turned those emotional smiles to the one who put them there. Godzilla stared back with the same loving expression as he always gave to the cute, adorable race of ponies. A few seconds later, he winked to his group of friends. While everypony else laughed with delight, Princess Luna responded with a wink of her own.

"Well, it was certainly delightful to finally meet you, Godzilla. However, I'm afraid we must make this a short introduction," said Princess Celestia.

"We have pressing business to attend to in Canterlot which pertains to all of Equestria. Unfortunately, our country is still in a state of emergency," said Princess Luna.

"Don't worry, Princesses, I know with Godzilla's help, Equestria will come out just fine."

"I feel that way as well, Twilight Sparkle," said Princess Celestia.

"We both do, but we must still remain ever vigilant, for a kaiju attack could occur at anytime. And it is our duty as the rulers of Equestria to be there with a swift response for when it does," said Princess Luna.

"I understand," said Twilight Sparkle.

"On behalf of Godzilla and myself, I'd like to thank, Princesses, for your faith in Godzilla's ability to protect us."

"You're very welcome, Fluttershy," said Princess Celestia.

"What do you want us to do? How do you want to proceed?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

For a moment, the whole group had serious expressions on their faces.

"We have search parties patrolling all over Equestria. The moment a kaiju is spotted, we'll be sent a message telling us when it was spotted and where it was spotted. Then we'll send you a message with the same information. Then you'll direct Godzilla to that location so he may combat the evil kaiju," said Princess Celestia.

"You and your friends are willing to escort Godzilla the spot the kaiju was located when you get the message, aren't you, Twilight Sparkle?" asked Princess Luna.

"Of course," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Absolutely," said Fluttershy.

"Good. Thank you, my little ponies," said Princess Celestia.

"It is strange, right after we got word that the Wonderbolts and your friends put out the fire at White Tail Woods, we got more messages. They said that the kaiju seemed to just vanish into thin air," said Princess Luna.

"That's so weird," said Fluttershy.

"What about the weather situation?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

"It has improved, but it has still not returned to normal. This strange weather upheaval is still causing trouble, especially on the west coast. It has created several large typhoons and severe rainstorms," said Princess Celestia.

Slight somberness feel across the faces of those in the group.

"We're still getting reports of slight tremors across the country, as well," said Princess Luna.

"It's so weird. Somehow, these kaiju seem to be connected to the very environment of Equestria. It's so strange; it just doesn't seem possible," said Twilight Sparkle.

"There are many things about these kaiju that we thought weren't possible," said Princess Luna.

"But still, it is here right now, a terrible curse that has fallen upon us. We must not let it get to us though. We have to believe everything will come out alright," said Princess Celestia.

"Agreed, Celestia," said Luna. She then turned to Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy. "Be sure you're ready whenever you may get a message from us regarding a kaiju attack. Until then, keep Godzilla here, keep him happy," Princess Luna smiled up at Godzilla before finishing, "and never let him feel alone. Let him know every second of every moment you're with him that he is loved and has friends."

"You can count on it," said Twilight, Fluttershy, and Spike at the same time.

"Excellent," said Princess Celestia. She then turned to her sister. "That was a very nice request you made for Godzilla, Luna."

The Princess of the Night just replied with her own special kind of smile. Then Celestia looked up to Godzilla who looked down expectingly.

"Until we meet again, oh great Godzilla, I shall wish you a goodbye."

Godzilla responded by waving good bye to everyone, who all waved back as they let out goodbye calls to the King of Monsters. Then Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Spike began their walk back to Ponyville. They all got to the edge of Godzilla's clearing domain before Fluttershy turned back to give her kaiju friend an approving look for his behavior. He responded with a delighted look of his own as he shut his eyes tightly and gave Fluttershy a final wave goodbye. And with a wave of her own, Fluttershy turned away and flew to catch up with her friends.

The trip back to Ponyville somehow seemed sorter than the trip to Godzilla's lair had been. It felt like almost no time at all had gone by when Fluttershy and the others stepped out from the edge of the Everfree Forest. They were once more staring out at the yard and the animal pens around Fluttershy's cottage. They only stopped to look for a second before the group moved on past the cottage. Fluttershy elected to stay with everyone and join them in heading into Ponyville. They walked on until they were standing out in front of Twilight Sparkle's library home where the princesses' carriage was waiting for them.

"Until we meet again, my little ponies, may you be safe and stay in harmony," said Princess Celestia.

"Look out for one another and keep each other feeling that they are loved by their friends," said Princess Luna.

"Yes, Princesses," said Twilight, Fluttershy, and Spike as they bowed respectively.

The two royal sisters stepped into their carriage, but right before they took off, Celestia said one last thing.

"We'll cal on you the minute we know of a kaiju's location."

"We'll be waiting and when the time comes, we'll be ready," said Twilight Sparkle.

Soon after, Princess Celestia gave the signal for the two pegasus stallions attached to the princesses' carriage to fly. The pegasi took off towards the sky and the carriage lifted up high into the sky and made a course for Canterlot. The two sisters waved their hooves to Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and Fluttershy. They waved back as they watched the carriage holding the royal sisters get further away until it was out of sight. Shortly after, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy turned to each other while Spike looked on.

"So, it looks like we have a lot of responsibility now," said Fluttershy.

"Yeah, I guess so. I sure hope we can handle it," said Twilight Sparkle

"Didn't you already have a lot of responsibilities before this that you were able to handle just fine?" asked Spike

"Oh yeah," said Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy before they shared a laugh together.

"Well now, it's gonna be even harder trying to balance that new responsibility with those we already had before," said Twilight Sparkle.

"But I know we're up for it because we have such a great leader to help manage it and guide us all," said Fluttershy.

Twilight lightly blushed at her friend's flattering comment.

"Thanks, Fluttershy."

"You're welcome, Twilight. I meant every word of it."

"I know you guys can help save Equestria. You've done it so many times before. I mean, sure Godzilla's amazing, but I don't think even he can do it alone. Who better to help him protect Equestria than the ponies who were already doing it? And doing it very well might I add," said Spike.

Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy giggled with glee at Spike's words.

"Thanks, Spike," said Twilight Sparkle.

"We wouldn't be such good protectors if we didn't have such great friends like you supporting us," said Fluttershy.

"Awe, shucks," said Spike as he slightly turned away and blushed.

The three friends shared a group hug, showing their unity as friends was as strong as ever. They held this hug for a couple of seconds before releasing. For a moment, the three friends said nothing and did nothing, all of them allowing the already high emotions of the day sink in. Once they all felt the emotion had sunk in, they went back into conversation.

"So, what do we do now?" asked Spike.

"I... guess we just go about our normal lives until we get the call to action," said Twilight Sparkle.

"With a few extra trips to the Everfree Forest added to our schedules?" Fluttershy suggested.

Twilight and Spike responded with bright smiles before the next words were spoken.

"Absolutely," said Twilight Sparkle.

"I'd like to get in on those visits," said Spike

"Hey, I know something we can do until then," said Twilight Sparkle. "All the refugees have left Sweet Apple Acres and the Apples family is gonna be cleaning up the farm today. Applejack told me earlier today and I told her I'd help her out. Would you like to help out, too?"

"I'd love to. It would be my pleasure," said Fluttershy as she nodded her head.

"Great! I'm gonna see if I can get Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash to help out, too. We'll make a group thing of it," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Sounds great, when are they gonna get started?" asked Fluttershy.

"Applejack said they were gonna start at one o'clock this afternoon," said Twilight Sparkle.

"I'll be there," said Fluttershy.

"Sounds great. I'd like to help out, too, but I have chores here to take care of."

"Well, that's still very responsible of you, Spike," said Fluttershy.

"I know, right? I'm lucky to have an assistant like him," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Ain't it the truth?" asked Spike as he stood looking bold and proud.

"Well, I'll leave you to your business," said Fluttershy.

"Alright, until this afternoon then?" said Twilight Sparkle.

"Of course. Goodbye, Twilight, see ya later. Goodbye, Spike," said Fluttershy as she began to wave and walk away.

"Bye, Fluttershy," said Spike.

"Bye, see you later. Take care, Fluttershy," said Twilight Sparkle.

The dynamic alicorn and dragon duo waved to Fluttershy and watched as she walked on her way. Once their pegasus friend was gone, Twilight and Spike returned to their library home. They would go about their day until the time came when Twilight Sparkle would have to be on her way to Sweet Apple Acres.

FUN TIME WITH GODZILLA! YAY, GODZILLA FUN TIME!

*Sing song voice* GODZILLA! GODZILLA! YOU'RE SO VERY SUPER STRONG! YOU'RE SO VERY SUPER STRONG! YOU'RE SO STRONG, GOD-ZI-LLAAAAAAAAAAA!

Yeah, I went there. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry it took so long to get this chapter up, but I'm more sorry for going there. If you know what I mean by that and know what I was referencing with the sing song thing, you have proven yourselves as kaiju fans. Anyways, quick house keeping to get out of the way. This was actually a hard chapter to write for me. It was Godzilla's first introduction to the princesses and I wanted it to both convey the awesomeness that is Godzilla while also conveying all the cutesy, wutesy stuff of MLP: FIM. I'm not criticizing the show for that, I love all their cutesy stuff. I'm not afraid to admit that I like things considered overly cute alongside stuff that's violent and everything like that. Example, I'll watch an episode of MLP: FIM and then turn around and watch The Expendables right after. Y'all think I'm crazy don't ya? If you do, you're probably right.

Anyways, it was really hard to get both those very different aspects of both franchises to mix for this chapter. I had to cut some stuff, add some stuff, cut more stuff, put it back in, add some stuff, the princesses had a song sequence that I cut out, Twilight Sparkle didn't get enough screen time or page time or whatever time and it had to be added in. Yeah, this chapter was a slight mess to write. In the end I decided I'd just have to wrap up work on this chapter and put it out and hope people liked it. Which, for the record, I hope you do.

Once again, I'm sorry if you felt it took too long for this chapter to come out. And if you feel that way, you're probably gonna be upset by what I have to say next. It might end up taking longer for future chapters to be release. It's that time of year again where the Holidays creep around and everybody either has to drop everything else in their lives to celebrate it or they have to try and balance both. I got relatives coming into town for Thanksgiving and I got to start preparing for that and also get ready for Christmas and a bunch of other things. Those who celebrate the Holidays know too well that shit this time of year gets freaking crazy!

But, I would probably slow down anyways, because truth be told, I'm starting to get burned out on writing this story. I've been writing non-stop for several months now. I used to spend 5 days in a row writing for this story. 5 DAYS! IT'S CRAZY! I NEED A BREAK! Frankly, all the work I've dedicated to this story that I could've used for other things I wanted to do is kind of making me resent this story. I don't want that to happen, so I'm just gonna slow down and relax a little. I'm sorry to those who can't accept that, but it's my final decision and I'm sticking to it no matter what.

As to when you can expect the next chapter, if you think it'll come out before Thanksgiving or Christmas, don't hold your breath. Like I said, I need to relax a little. I still want to write this story and finish it at some point. So maybe I'll dabble into writing the next chapter here or there, but it won't be hard work like before.

Please be sure to leave a review after reading and let me know of any grammar mistakes I might have missed so I may correct them to the best of my ability. I'm The Guy Who Likes To Write Stuff, signing off.
