I'M GOING BACK TO REGULAR THREE THOUSAND WORDS AFTER THIS SO... ENJOY EVERY PONY.

Chapter 10:The Precious Things

It was another beautiful day, and the sun was shining bright at the house of Dylan Stone, the sun had melted away all the snow and was making room for the early spring to come. Back in the house of Dylan, the first thing that had already bloomed was love. In Dylan's bedroom, he laid happily with the two mares that he has now come to love as his very first mare friends, they caressed him in their wings as he laid in a cocoon made of their own bodies. Celestia and Luna smiled as they slept peacefully, happy that they finally managed to confess their feelings for the human as they nuzzled his cheeks.

Celestia was then the first one to awake from her slumber, and the first thing she saw was the peaceful smiling face of a sleeping Dylan, he looked as innocent and beautiful as a young child as he slept completely undisturbed. She smiled and nuzzled him as Luna was next to awake from her slumber, she also smiled as she watched the human sleep, she then gave him a small lick to his cheek as they both giggled as they watched him stir slowly as he awoke with a small yawn.

Dylan's eyes slowly opened as he turned his head to look at both mares as their eyes glittered in the sun with beauty and love, his love for them burning brighter than a furnace. His connection felt strong as they all could now look into their minds and hear every thought, and every wish they wanted between one another. Dylan smiled as he gave them passionate kisses to his mares as he breathed gently, and happily that he now had new love ones in his life that he knew and felt that would never hurt or betray him.

"Good morning..."Dylan said in a very soft voice as he laid his hands under their heads and caressed their cheeks.

"Good morning indeed Dylan... Did you sleep well?"Luna asked in a soft voice as well.

"Yeah... The night was nice and peaceful, and the morning was nice too, it really completed the new day,"Dylan complimented as they finally unwrapped their wings around him.

"We're glad you slept well... It fills us with joy to see you happy Dylan,"Celestia said.

"I'm just glad that your both here..."Dylan said a he shared another passionate round of kisses with them, he then turned to see the clock and saw that it was eight in the morning."Damn... I need to go get ready for work."

Dylan quickly got out of bed and picked a white chef uniform out of his closet to wear, he then rushed out of his room and entered the bathroom just as Celestia and Luna were just getting out of bed. They quickly put their shoes and necklaces back on and ventured out into the living room to give Dylan his privacy, as they made it to the living room, they suddenly noticed that one little friend was still missing.

"Tia...? Where's Fluffy? We have not seen him since yesterday morning,"Luna questioned as she looked around for the cat.

"I don't know... He has been gone for a bit, maybe we should talk to Dylan,"Celestia suggested.

"I don't think we should be worrying Dylan with such things, when he leaves for his job I would suggest looking around for him,"Luna suggested back.

"Perhaps you're right, we should not worry Dylan, he is in far too good of a mood to be troubled with such an issue,"Celestia agreed as they laid on the couch.

Suddenly they heard the bathroom door open and looked up from the couch to see Dylan rushing out with a white chef outfit on, his hair was still wet as he walked out into the kitchen, trailing water every where he went. The mares giggled at the rushing human as they both made their horns glow, while Luna made the water he trailed around disappear, Celestia stopped Dylan right in his tracks and started to dry his hair. Dylan looked up at his hair as it became surrounded in Celestia's golden aura, and was becoming dry and smooth, finally she released him and allowed him to feel his hair, it was smooth and neatly dried. He turned and smiled at them as their horns stop glowing.

"Thanks... I just wanna make you two something to eat before I leave,"Dylan said as he went to the fridge and pulled out some familiar ingredients.

He pulled out lettuce, mini tomatoes, onions, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese and placed them on the counter. He then pulled out two big bowls and laid them next to the ingredients, he popped his knuckles and began to go to work. The mares watched him as he worked perfectly and quickly, cutting up lettuce, onions and tomatoes, and placing them in both bowls while mixing them into a salad. He then took the bottle of ranch and poured a layer of the dressing over the mix and spread it evenly over the salads with a butter knife. He then topped it off with a neat sprinkle of mixed cheddar and mozzarella shredded cheese over it. He then smiled, lifted both bowls up and presented them to the mares on the table, they were the very same salads that the princesses ate the day they first met Dylan.

"Oh Dylan...! Our favorite salads...! Thank you!"Luna exclaimed as her and Celestia rushed over to the table and hugged him before actually sitting at the table.

"You're welcome... Alright... I need to go to work, I'll see you two real soon though, besides... We can keep in touch now,"Dylan said as he pointed to his head and smiled.

"Alright... Have a nice day at work Dylan,"Celestia said as her and Luna dug into their salads.

"Okay... I...I love you both,"Dylan gently said, making the mares raise their heads from their salads and smile at him with love.

"We love you too Dylan,"They both said as Dylan nodded and finally left.

The sisters then went back to their salads and ate happily, they then heard the roar of Dylan's truck and listened to the truck grinding on the stones of the drive way as he left for work. They quickly finished their salads and breathed out as they felt that their belly's were full and happy, they then levitated their bowls to the sink and looked at each other as they could still feel Dylan's presence with them as they heard his thoughts talking about them.

"I hope they'll be alright at the house by themselves, I just don't want to lose any one I love again,"Dylan thought as the mares felt his worry for them.

"You won't lose us Dylan, we promise that we will always be at your side,"Celestia thought to Dylan.

"And we will never let you feel hurt or sad anymore,"Luna added.

They did not get a response from Dylan, but they smiled as they felt Dylan's emotions and felt another burst of happiness come from him, making them know that he was listening. They finally decided to leave Dylan to worry about work and walked over to the couch to lay down. They relaxed as they laid on the couch and took in the new day, even Luna had to admit that it was a beautiful morning and the perfect time to be happy.

"Who would have thought... That fate would actually bring us to this world just to find the one,"Luna said blissfully as she looked out the window.

"Indeed... It's funny how fate works, but finding Dylan was probably the greatest thing to happen to us sister,"Celestia said with a smile to her sister.

"Sister...? If we were to find a way home, do you think he would go with us?"Luna suddenly asked.

"What do you mean Luna?"Celestia asked back.

"Would Dylan come back with us...? If we had found a way home?"Luna asked once again in a more sincere voice, making Celestia look at her with great concern.

"I... Don't know Luna, the choice would be all up to him, we can't just take him away from the home he grew up in,"Celestia said.

"Yes but... There is nothing for him here, I think he would be happy for the rest of his life if he were to live with us in our home,"Luna said as he stroked her mane nervously.

"True... But what would ponies think? He is an omnivorous creature with incredible strength and a short temper, what if our subjects panic and fear him?"Celestia asked with great concern.

"Tia...?! What is more important to you? Our love...? Or your pride?"Luna questioned with a raised eyebrow."I'm sure we could find a way for him to live in Equestria."

"Well... *sigh*... Your right sister, but we at least need to know if he wants to go, but first we need to find a way home before anything,"Celestia explained as they both sighed from their confliction.

They both sat on the couch taking in all the new thoughts that swam in their minds, but all they needed to do was think about Dylan and all was cleared for them. After a few minutes of deep thinking, something finally struck Luna as she got off the couch and began to look around.

"Well... Now that we got all those issues sorted away, lets find Fluffy before Dylan finds out that Fluffy is missing,"Luna suggested as she began to sniff around.

"Good idea, we don't won't Dylan worried sick about Fluffy, we both know how important that cat truly is to him now,"Celestia said as they both searched around.

They began to look in all the rooms in the hall way, while Celestia checked Dylan's bedroom, Luna checked the parents bedroom. Celestia looked under the bed, on the bed, in the closet, and finally ended by searching the dresser. Luna looked under the parent's bed, the second bathroom the room had, the closet, and even searched in all the old shoes that were lying around. They both then left the rooms with nothing to show for it, they then decided that Luna will investigate the kitchen while Celestia searches the main bathroom.

Celestia went into the bathroom to search while Luna ventured back out into the living room and began to search the kitchen. She looked in all the cabinets, got chilled to the bone as she searched in the fridge and freezer, and even checked in the dish washer, but still found nothing. She sighed and was about to go back to Celestia, but suddenly she caught the scent of the cat on her nose and sniffed the air to find the trail.

"Where are you little friend?"Luna asked to herself as she then found the trail, and it strangely appeared to lead outside."Huh...? How in the world could you have made it outside?"

Luna then walked over to the door and opened it with her magic, she then walked outside and sniffed the air once more. She managed to pick up the cats scent again, but she also was smelling a rancid smell, she cringed her nose at the smell and continued on as she walked towards the front yard strangely enough. As Luna arrived walked to the front yard, the smells got stronger, she walked to the front yard and was taken by the perfect view of the sunrise. Suddenly she turned and saw a figure laying at the edge of the front yard, she then recognized the figures orange and white fur, and smiled as she realized it was Fluffy.

"Oh thank the elements I found you Fluffy... It's a good thing too, your daddy was going to be worried sick about you-"Luna started before cutting herself off as she approached the cat.

She noticed that Fluffy was not moving and rushed to the kitty's side, and that's when the rancid smell hit her hard, she held her muzzle with one hoof as she shook the kitty with the other. Then as she managed to roll the kitty over, she got the most horrific sight in her life, the cat... was dead. She held her mouth with both hooves in horror and disgust as he saw a long red line up the cats stomach, where he appeared to have been gutted with a knife, and from the smell of the cat, he has been like this since last night. Luna began hyperventilating as she began to panic and lose her mind over the death of the cat, her stomach began to churn and she finally let it all out in one big blood curdling scream.

Celestia was just getting done searching the bathroom and was venturing out to the living room, she then noticed that Luna was now missing.

"Luna...? Luna where are you!?"Celestia called out as she then began to frantically search for her little sister, then she heard it.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Celestia jumped from the sudden blood curdling scream so high that she almost touched the ceiling as she frantically searched around and came to the conclusion that she was outside. Fear gripped Celestia as she raced outside, bursting through the door and looking around before rushing towards the front yard, she then began to calm down as he saw Luna sitting at the edge of the yard. She sighed in relief and began to walk to Luna, but then she suddenly began to feel cold as she noticed that Luna was sobbing over what appeared to be Fluffy, and upon approaching, she gasp in horror as she could now see the cat with the large slice up his belly and realized that the cat was dead.

Both princesses then began to feel completely distraught and sicken by this horrible act, they knew that the kitty's death was no accident... Someone had purposely murdered an innocent animal. To some people out there, they are sick enough to think that it is funny and good sport to kill an animal, but to the princesses, every life was always sacred to them. Finally Luna lifted her head to look at her big sister with tears stinging her eyes as they flowed freely.

"He's dead Tia... Something...killed...Fluffy,"Luna sobbed as she buried her face into her sisters chest.

"Not something Luna... Someone,"Celestia said in a fierce but low voice.

Luna only nodded as she cried into her sisters chest while Celestia held her in a loving embrace to calm her down, she then realized that a bigger problem was coming as they both suddenly sensed Dylan's presence getting stronger.

"Oh no...!"They both said as fear replaced sadness.

"I-I thought he was going to work?!"Luna said in confusion as she frantically tried to dry her tears.

"He must have heard your scream in his mind when you began to panic,"Celestia concluded as they both looked down to the kitty with sad looks as they tried not to cry."We have to move Fluffy, then we have to tell him what happened."

"Its too late..."Luna suddenly said as they both then heard the sound they were hoping not to hear.

They both turned their heads and turned away as they had seen Dylan driving back into the drive way. As Dylan came to a stop in his truck, he immediately got out of the truck and looked around the house before walking out to the front yard and seeing both mares with their heads low.

"Celestia... Luna... I came back when I heard Luna scream, what happened!?"Dylan asked frantically.

"We're so sorry Dylan..."Both mares said as they silently sobbed while moving away to show Fluffy to him.

Dylan's heart suddenly froze as he saw Fluffy laying motionless in the grass, he walked towards his cat and kneeled as he saw the cat's belly completely slit open. He felt his heart drop and his stomach become stricken with disgust as he began to feel sick. Shock then over took him along with grief and sadness as pet his cat's head while tears began to sting his eyes. The mares then took him into their fore arms as he then began to shake with grief, he slowly began to sob silently, but uncontrollably at the lost of his precious little friend.

Memories of how he lost his family then began to flood back into his mind as his heart became heavier and his sobs were more painful as he fell on all fours and buried his head into the grass. Celestia and Luna were sensing his memories and his pain and only hugged him tighter as he wept in his new found misery. What was really mere minutes felt like hours as they held their love in their fore arms as he cried over the death of the only little friend Fluffy. The mares could once again hear his thoughts as he questioned frantically.

'Why wasn't it me... WHY WASN'T IT FUCKING ME! WHY IS ALWAYS SOMEONE I LOVE!'Dylan roared in his head in blind grief.

All the mares felt like they could do was offer all the love they could to their crushed lover as he continued to weep, but suddenly they heard the wretched voice of someone they didn't ever want to see.

"Hey retard...! Did you like what we did with your cat?!"Zack Benson called out from his bike from the edge of Dylan's property.

"Yeah, maybe next time you should lock the door so this shit doesn't happen you retard,"Doug said while Brandon just laughed.

The sisters lifted their heads up and glared at the boys while Dylan kept his head low, they stared at the monstrous boys with seething hate and fury at their barbaric display. They then began to feel rising chaotic fury glowing off Dylan as the boys laughed at them.

"YOU CRETINS ARE SICK! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH THINGS TO AN INNOCENT CREATURE?!"Luna yelled in disgust.

"How dare you... You vile monsters killed the only friend he ever had, you boys are scum!"Celestia said fiercely.

"Aw cry me a river, it's just a cat,"Zack said with a cocky smile while they continued to laugh.

Suddenly they all saw Dylan rise to his feet with his head low as he slowly walked back to his house. As he stormed back inside the house, the mares could feel Dylan's incredible and very scary rage rapidly building as he went inside, but the boys only laughed it off like a joke.

"Hey Zack look at that, he's going back inside... ALONE!"Brandon joked as the boys laughed harder.

"Yeah... That's how he is always going to be boys... ALONE! The world doesn't need people like Stone,"Zack cruelly said.

"He's not alone you spoiled little brat!"Luna suddenly said as she stood tall and stared down the boys."Dylan has us by his side, he is more of man than you and your own father could ever be, he has suffered through great pain and has never cracked under this life's cruel grip."

"And as long as we are by his side, he will never be alone, so do yourself a favor and leave the property immediately with what dignity you have left,"Celestia said as he stood by Luna's side."Cause all we see in front of us is just a vile rich kid trying to play thug who will always end up getting beat by real men, so just go crawl back to whatever rock you crawled out of."

Now it was Zack that was seething with rage as he did not like the mares choice of words and the insult they made against him and his dad, he could not believe that they would taunt him and consider him so low when his family were the richest people around. Zack suddenly snapped as he reached into his pocket and suddenly pulled out a handle, he then clicked a small button and the handle suddenly extended into a large knife as he wielded it in front of both mares, now seeing red.

"Then perhaps I need to take you both away from him as well... YOU FUCKING HORSES!"Zack shouted as he suddenly began to walk towards the mares as they got ready to defend themselves.

Even Zack's friends suddenly backed away knowing that Zack was finally going to far, they tried to stop him, but Zack slashed at them making his friends back up as he advanced. The mares realized that Zack had finally lost it and began to back away slowly in fear.

"Die...you fucking horses...!"Zack fiercely said as he was about to lunge and stab both mares, but suddenly.

*BOOM*

The sudden and familiar exploding noise of a gun went off, and Zack Benson's head suddenly exploded in a splash of red, his body flew back and landed a good ten feet away as it now laid motionless, and headless. His friends screamed so loud that they almost sounded like girls as every one and every pony's ears rang loudly.

As Celestia and Luna's hearing came back, they turned to the porch of the house and saw Dylan with the most serious and angriest look, holding his gun as his barrel was smoking. He growled and breathed furiously as he continued to point his gun at the headless body of Zack, his friends immediately got to their knees and were crying as they begged for forgiveness, but all Dylan did was slowly approach them as he shifted the guns aim towards them.

The mares could see the look in his eye and could feel his burning thoughts as he cocked the gun and put it to one of the boys heads.

"Dylan...! Don't...!"Celestia and Luna called out as they rushed to the angry human.

"No Dylan...! Don't do it, they're just kids,"Luna said as she put a hoof on his hand with the gun.

"So was Zack... and now look how he ended up? WHY SHOULDN'T I?!"Dylan roared in a blind rage.

"Please Dylan, your better than this, your family knew it, and you know it, please... Just put the gun down,"Celestia begged as she put a hoof to his chest.

Dylan first glared at the crying teenagers with hate and pain, he then turned his eyes to his mare friends and could feel the fear that was coming off them. Finally he slowly began to lower his gun as tears began to stream down his face once more, he lowered the gun down to his side and turned as he slowly walked back to the house crying with each step.

"Why does everything that I love always die around me?"Dylan sobbed as he walked away.

The princesses sighed with relief as they turned back to the teens who were slowly getting to their knees while they still cried.

"Your lives have been spared, but I doubt he will ever forgive you,"Celestia started with a grim tone.

"And we are sure that if he see's you again... He will kill you both on sight, so if I were you, I would leave and never bother him again, are we clear?"Luna questioned.

Both boys only nodded as they slowly turned around and walked off while trying to stop their tears, the sisters merely sighed from this intense event as they turned back to the house and watched Dylan go back inside. They then chose to go back inside to be with their distraught lover, knowing that he would need all the help he could get. But as they made it to the door, they were met with the sight of none other than Jack Rogers who looked incredibly concern and even a bit scared.

"Oh... Hello Mr Rogers, Luna... Will you please go check on Dylan?"Celestia asked.

"Of course sister,"Luna answered as she went inside to check on Dylan, leaving Celestia to talk to Jack.

"Look Jack, I know you are concerned, but we have it under control now,"Celestia tried to reassure.

"You mind telling me what happened?"Jack asked.

"*Sigh*... Zack Benson and his friends killed Dylan's cat, and they almost killed us, but... Dylan ended up shooting Zack,"Celestia said grimly.

"Mah god... Well... I knew it was only a matter of time before Zack finally pushed Dylan too far, and with him being on private property with a weapon for intent to kill, Dylan can't get in trouble,"Jack reassured Celestia."So what happened to Dylan?"

"He almost killed the other boys, but we managed to calm him down and he went back inside, but he was so upset,"Celestia replied, suddenly making Jack raise an eye brow in concern.

"Was he still carrying his gun?"Jack questioned quickly with great concern.

"Uh... Yes... Why?"Celestia suddenly asked.

Meanwhile back inside the house, Luna was looking around for Dylan, but oddly enough, he was not in the living room or kitchen. She sighed and began to search her mind for the connection to Dylan, she found it instantly as she felt his grief and sorrow overwhelm her, but she also began to feel Dylan getting a feeling of adrenaline. She followed the connection all the way back into the hall way and came to Dylan's bedroom, she put a hoof to the door and cracked it open a she heard Dylan talking to himself.

"I-I can't...take...it anymore, I-I'm done... I'm so fucking...done,"Dylan sobbed as the cock of the gun sounded off."Celestia... Luna... I'm sorry."

Suddenly Luna swung the door opened and gasp as her heart dropped and everything seem to slow down. She watched as Dylan was putting the muzzle of the gun to his head to kill himself.

"DYLAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"Luna shouted as she leaped to Dylan to stop him.

*BOOM*
