Bit of a rest chapter.

Andrew landed in the North Courtyard and walked to the TV room. "So you're watching it without me huh?" he asked the ponies sitting in front of the screen.

Destiny laughed. "It's the last one, you hate the last one." she said, "Oh, and Diamond said send you to your spot when you got home." Andrew nodded and walked out.

Silver sat in front of the door. "Hey," she said at Andrew's approach. "Diamond did great in her duel, and she said something I think you should hear."

"What's that?" Andrew asked.

"When I asked her how it felt to face her father she told me 'My father is the King of the Night,' I won't repeat the rest." Andrew smiled and thanked her before heading in. The Southern Courtyard was beautiful in the morning sun as Andrew walked to the graves in the center.

"Hey," he said as he sat next to Diamond. "Silver told me about what you said, about me being your father, I'm honored you think so highly of me."

"You took me in, fed me, gave me a loving home, and even helped mend relationships with the Crusaders. Filthy never did any of that." Diamond responded, leaning on her father. "I love you, Daddy." she whispered.

Andrew wrapped his wing around her as he whispered, "I love you too Diamond Tiara." For hours they sat like that, eventually though, Andrew called a meeting. "We have the day before Naraku strikes. No Shadow Duels after sunrise, that's the rules. I need to plan for when that happens, but the rest of you should go have a good time." everypony nodded and left Andrew to his thoughts.

...

Diamond and Silver walked down the street. "You know, it's good to have some time to ourselves." Silver said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, just like old times, you and me,"

"Out on the town,"

"Nopony else to bug us." both finished with a laugh.

"Sil, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a while now." Diamond said shyly. "I never had the guts, but if Dad loses this-I know that's a pretty big if- but if he does, I want to say I-" Diamond was cut off as Silver pulled her into a kiss. When they broke for air Diamond smiled, "I guess you feel the same." she laughed.

Silver nodded and from their perch on a nearby roof, Destiny and Stream giggled and slid down to give the couple some privacy. "Bout time." Stream said, still giggling.

"Yeah," Destiny sighed. "You know, Stream, I've been wanting to tell you something for a while too."

"I think I know where this is going. I've been wanting to tell you this too." both stopped, laughed a little and Stream said, "You first."

"No you first."

"Together, three, two, one."

"I love you." both said at once.

"Muffins? On me this time." Stream asked. Destiny smiled and nodded.

...

Dinky blew her mane out of her eyes and huffed. "I had to come for Destiny's birthday, I couldn't be a little late and spend some time with Pip." she muttered. Hooves instantly covered her eyes. "No way!" Dinky wheeled around to see, "Pip!" the delighted mare pulled her husband into a hug as he laughed. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I heard there was trouble in Ponyville and came to check on you, and I wanted to spy on your sister's friends like old times." Pipsqueak laughed.

"I saw Avid and Cherry headed to Sugar Cube Corner, let's pay them a visit." Pip shook his head.

"Nah, What about Screwball? She's always fun to sneak up on." both went off in search of the chaotic pony.

...

Andrew sat in front of his computer and said, "Anything yet?"

"For the hundredth time, no." it responded.

"Keep looking DD, he's around the database somewhere. I need to know exactly what I'm up against or I won't be ready for Naraku. I only beat him in Japan because I loved watching Inuyasha."

"Maybe that's all you need to do. Think Inuyasha. How did Naraku strike?"

"He didn't he always had his demons do his work. THAT'S IT!"

"No need to shout." DD said before the computer shut off. Andrew ran off to begin working on his strategies.
