#31

We made it to Twilight's house in the blink of an eye using Cadence's teleportation magic. There we stood at the doorstep with half of Ponyville behind us concerned and curious. I had to stop myself from barging in since the door was locked and my leg was already ready to kick in the door.

"That's not a good idea," Vinyl quickly stated as I lowered my leg and nodded quickly.

"I know-"

"GET OFF ME CELESTIA!"

"What the hell?" I exclaimed as we all turned to the door. Shining stared curiously at the door before tugging on my shirt with his magic.

"Is that your demon?" He asked a bit surprised and amused by K's cries for help.

"Yeah, sounds like he got on Celestia's bad side again- I ran my two fingers up to my forehead, knelt down and reached out a hand to the ones by my side- Come on! Grab on!"

"Oh yeah!" Vinyl excitedly yelled as she placed her hoof on my arm and I grabbed it firmly.

"Right behind ya partner!" Applejack quickly placed her hoof on Vinyl's hoof and reached out a hoof to the Royals. They stared at her hoof before Cadence happily took it and reached out her hoof to Shining.

"Come on Shiny!"

Shining had no choice but to grab hooves with his mare. He nodded towards me indicating me to do whatever he expected me to do. I nodded back as I quickly focused on K's energy; it was simple to find him considering he was inside the home next to me.

"Let's go!"

Poof*

We appeared inside of Twilights home, but we had no time to gawk at Twilight's furniture since K was thrown against the bed with Celestia on top of him as all the ponies tried to pull her off of him. I quickly took a step in their direction only to be stopped by what looked like Flutters but everything was off about her; her red eyes, sharp teeth, pointy bat-like ears, and bat-like wings.

What the fuck happened?" I thought as I studied Flutters, I was a bit more curious than I was supposed to be and completely ignored K for the moment but not for long. I was lost and needed answers so I quickly reached my arm out to the ponies and stallion by my side and hushed them to avoid detection and led them behind a pile of books that was thankfully large enough to be a shield for all of us. We all made it behind there undetected but they were all stern with me as they silently argued with me about what I was doing. I hushed them again.

"Listen, I need answers. Did you see Flutters?" I whispered making them all peer over the books and quickly return back down with widened eyes. They quickly looked over to me and I nodded back to their looks. Flutters wasn't looking like her average self.

"What was that!? Flutter Shy looks like a…" Vinyl excitedly whispered out with an amazed smile making Applejack sternly agree with her, "Ya darn right! She's looks somethin' for sure!"

Shining quickly stomped a hoof getting their attention as well as mine and Cadence's.

"She's a demon! Can you sense it?!" He quickly revealed making Vinyl, me, and Applejack exchange looks between each other before we all facepalmed/facehoofed each other.

"K!" All three of us whispered in unison as we shook our heads in the realization that we should have guessed it. Shining made his "A-HA!" look as if he'd known he was right about K; he obviously was wrong though.

"I told you he was trouble!"

"Shut it! Ya still haven't met him!" Applejack shushed him for me, I would've been a bit more cynical about it. Shining frowned before sighing and shaking away the negative vibes he was getting. K's cries for help could still be heard in the background but we remained focused on our little group.

"Okay, we're gonna save K and find out what the hell is going on, got it?"

"Right!"

I quickly stood up from my crouched position behind the books and stared at Luna who quickly caught on to me and remained still in shock. I turned to K who was about as stiff as the guitar I had on my back as he refused to move but Celestia made it hard for him with all her cursing. I breathed in deeply and frowned towards Celestia.

"HEY! GET OFF HIM!" I shouted loudly making everypony and K turn to me all stunned and shocked. Celestia's fire-like aura disappeared instantly when her eyes caught up with me, and K waved his hand towards me as he wiped away a bead of sweat from his cheek.

"Wha-BEN!?" Celestia called me out, I nodded as I grinned and pumped my arm excitedly.

"YA! I'm back again! Nice to see you two again too!" I enthusiastically greeted them. I must have had some effect because Celestia immediately lost her offense and looked down at K before hopping right off him but not before giving him the badass "I'll be back" look. K gave her his own look of worry; the "I'm sorry" look.

I opened my mouth to begin asking "what the hell was going on" but I was cut short by a quick embrace by those dark hooves. I rolled my eyes and chuckled as I looked to my side see Luna giving me those pony hugs where they stand on their hind legs and make you want to hide away the embarrassment.

"Woah, Hey there!" I greeted with a smile. She looked up at me and smiled back, her eyes seem to reflect even in this dark lit room. I couldn't hide my joy, her smile and eyes made me want to cry with joy (geez I sure wish I could).

"I missed you!" She happily exclaimed embracing me tighter. I chuckled as I placed my hand down to her mane and stroked it, here we go again with this strange but addictive action.

"But it's only been a day and a half!" I claimed making her shake her head in denial and confront me with her huge eyes; now that I look into them better, they're the biggest I've ever seen.

"It doesn't matter!"

"I guess it doesn't, I missed you too," I chuckled, this was probably the most realistic use of my famous chuckle; I was actually feeling a joy burning inside me, damn does it feel good too! She smiled back as she tightened her embrace before letting herself go onto the floor; I wish she'd hug me for a bit longer but I can't be too greedy. I quickly turned to Celestia, then K, then the ponies, and then Flutters. I aimed a finger as I connected the events.

"So, what's going on here? I see a cute-demon Flutter Shy, Celestia was attacking K and everypony here is about as sweaty as the ones outside…and why does it smell so…lewd?" I asked Luna, she quickly gave me a shrug and clued me in that both of them had barely gotten here and that they just found everything like this. I cocked an eyebrow as I inquired about Flutters. K quickly sat up on the bed and rose a hand up in the air like I use to in school.

"I can answer what happened before I got assaulted!"

I nodded and agreed with K before turning behind me and noticing the absence of most of my company; I turned to the pile of books before calling them out one by one with my arms crossed across my chest. As I called out each name (starting with Vinyl and Applejack then the royals) all the rest behind me repeated every name I said.

"SHINING ARMOR AND CADENCE!?" Everypony cried out as both Shining and Cadence emerged followed by Applejack and Vinyl; each one of them waving happily and nervously.

"SHINY AND CADENCE!?" Twilight cried out as she quickly hid under a blanket and shivered. I smiled a bit as her antic considering this was her brother, maybe she just wanted to be funny or something.

"Um, Hi Y'all!" Applejack cheerfully greeted along with Vinyl.

"Hello there!" Cadence and Shining professionally greeted making me lift an eyebrow at how professional Cadence was compared to before.

Celestia and Luna quickly greeted back respectfully and along with the rest of the ponies on the bed. They all gave their greetings but when Shining allowed himself to be seen in full K's cheerful greeting fell and he slowly grew excited as Shining made his way to him.

"So, you're the demon?"

"Yeah! The name's K!"

"You have a name?"

"Well, I did just say my name's K,"

"Okay…you're an odd one…is this really a demon?"

"Ya, ask your sister if you don't believe me, I promise she'd answer truthfully won't ya…"

"WHAT!?" We all said in unison, that being me, Celestia, Luna, Applejack, Vinyl and most importantly Shining, who was of course highly intrigued and terrified about what he meant. I pondered how the hell he found out about Shining and Twilight, he wasn't there, but then Shining bared an unexplainable similarity to Twilight. Shining took another step towards K and K gleamed down on him with his toothy grin.

"What does that mean!?" Shining asked hoping to not have heard right but K remained silent as everypony began getting riled up.

"Yes, elaborate on what you mean K!" Celestia exclaimed sternly. K shrugged as he made them guess but Shining wasn't having that game being played with him, he stomped a hoof on the floor and asked once more but this time with some deep anger. K chuckled, he wasn't at all moved, he placed his hand to his side over the blanket where Twilight had hidden and lifted off of Twilight revealing her with her eyes wide-open in terror.

Shining almost immediately lost his anger as he went soft and stared at Twilight's shivering body, "Twily?"

"Sh-Shining!?" Twilight yelled back as she hid behind K and peered through the side, a new blush was there and the shivering didn't cease.

As for why she was shaking, I had no clue but K's wide grin filled in some gaps and connected the puzzle; the smell, the sweaty ponies and lastly, K's over playfulness. I wanted to chuckle a bit but my feelings restrained me from doing so, this was the story of the over-protective brother, his innocent sister, and the one guy the brother doesn't like; I love this story. I would've just ended the yearn to smile but K just wasn't going easy on Shining; he reached behind himself and grabbed Twilight, setting her on his lap as if he was about to tell a story to a child.

"What are you doing!?" Shining asked worried and in an offensive stance; he still hasn't gotten used to the fact that K was a demon and that he was just getting mess with by K. Twilight looked up to K and Shining before she threw a hoof to Shining and stopped him from being violent, she must have noticed K's widening grin.

"Listen to her, she knows the fraction of what I can do," K teased and annoyed Shining. I would try to stop K from getting out of hand but that never worked, all I could do was warn Shining but then he was too ignorant to even try to convince. I kept my mouth shut hoping for something to happen and it did. Twilight quickly responded again to Shining's eye twitches.

"Please! He isn't a bad demon, he's just a bit crazy at times!"

K rolled his eyes as he whispered something into Twilight's ear forcing her to elbow him in the stomach.

"Aye! You're the one who needed it though!"

"Stop it, please K! This is my brother!"

"And? He probably does it to that cute pink one!"

"No…well…that isn't the point!"

I neared them closer like everypony did and listened in, of course, I already knew but Shining was clueless towards this. To add on to the parade of ponies who knew, Celestia and Luna looking away from Shining revealed their thoughts, Vinyl and Applejack's blushes also gave them away, and Cadence didn't even need an explanation.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT!?" Shining lashed out making Twilight nervously turn to him and shake her head and constantly saying "no" over and over. K looked down at Twilight on his lap and smiled widely as he rustled her mane playfully and Twilight came back with another elbow. Shining noticed their play and turned to Cadence quickly and then the Princesses and then me in utter shock. Cadence quickly leaned her head down low to him and whispered something to him that quickly made his shock go into anger.

"Are you telling me…he-"

"Hey, I said he's a demon, not an angel!" I responded on K's behalf. Shining looked down at the floor for a few seconds before coming right up and comforting K with a stern look. K quickly grabbed Twilight's head and made it turn towards her brother; she nervously giggled and K grinned again.

"So, you managed to put my sister in bed with you?"

"Shit, I wish! I actually put her in bed with her and her!" K signaled both Flutters and Dash, they immediately got everyponies' and my attention. They smiled nervously as they used their wings to cover themselves up. I wouldn't feel pissed or angered if he'd enjoyed himself, that is something that is hard to feel when around K, I would be mad originally but hell, this is probably the most relatable guy I got, I can endure some friendly fire.

"Wait so you didn't?"

"I guess it's story time again!"

"NO! YOU AREN'T SAYING A THING!" Twilight, Dash, and Bonbon quickly denied K access to speak out; Flutters and Lyra remained silent behind K and just listened in, Lyra with a huge smile while Flutters was drowning in embarrassment.

"Oh yes, I am! And everypony, stallion, and Ben know it's that time of the year!"

Twi, Bonbon, and Dash turned to me even Flutters and Lyra. I gave them a smile and a shrug, I knew about it and I was glad I did since it gave me a good reason to hear out the story K wanted to let out. All three around K allowed him to continue while Flutters studied the snake-like tongue that she allowed to enter and exit her mouth between her lips Damn, she's cute no matter what she looks like.

K gently moved Twilight off his lap and placed her down on the bed and waved goodbye to everypony and me before disappearing into nothing. Shining was the first to actually react to this then followed by Cadence then by me.

"He got away!"

"More like he disappeared!"

"You'll see…" I grinned as I awaited K's return. Both of them turned to me before looking at the bed again but this time Flutters moved to the edge of the bed and introduced herself or should I say, K introduced himself.

"Maybe now you get a better idea, don't you?" Flutters(K) asked as she grinned widely. Not only was Shining and Cadence surprised but Celestia and Luna were also shocked by K's new reveal. I smiled at such an entrance from K, he knew how to make the most of it.

"You-you took over her body!?" Shining asked with Cadence nodding her head, Flutters giggled as she moved Twilight to her with her magic, which again made Shining, Cadence, Celestia, and Luna gasp with shock. Twilight exchanged worried looks between Flutters and everypony and me.

"AND SHE'S AN ALICORN!?" Celestia, Cadence, Shining, and Luna yelled out.

"Ya! A demon Alicorn!" Flutters excitedly explained.

"A demon Alicorn?! That's-THAT'S INSANE!" Celestia exclaimed, nearly with no sanity.

"Well, when Ben was controlling Flutters, she became an Alicorn too, right Ben!?" Flutters(K) called me out from the crowd.

They all turned to me, I smiled and chuckled a bit as I nodded my head in agreement. Now that K mentioned it, I finally managed to piece it together; if I controlled Flutters, she becomes an Alicorn but if K controls her she becomes a demon Alicorn, somewhat made sense. I guess that was another question answered, all that remained was why K was inside Flutter's body but that question was just dumb to ask as of right now; I knew what happened and K is a bit creative at times, so it answered itself.

"Yeah, it's true, but she wasn't a demon Alicorn though, she was like Twilight." I stated aiming a finger at Twilight.

"WAIT A MINUTE! ARE YOU SAYING YOU CAN TURN PONIES INTO ALICORNS BY JUST GETTING INSIDE THEM!?" Celestia asked in disbelief. Luna nodded in agreement with Celestia's question and Shining and Cadence did the same.

"Well, it's more like I combine my soul with the pony, then I can easily switch bodies or take over…if I were to move into a body that doesn't contain part of my demon soul, I might either get trapped inside or risk having the pony turning into a "demonic" demon. This goes for Ben too," K explained. I stared at him with one question in mind, I understood the rest but this really lingered in my mind; "How does Flutters have a piece of his demon soul in her?"

Celestia and Luna glanced at each other, their mouths dropped wide open like Shining and Cadence's. Celestia quickly shook away her shock and asked the question that ripped the word right out of my mouth.

"But if your soul is needed for this process, how did she get it inside her?!"

Flutters(K) became a bit serious about this question and looked away to a curtain that glowed with the outside sun. I lifted my head high to hear out her(his) response, everypony was fully giving her their attention.

"I gave her part of it…"

"WHAT!?" Celestia exclaimed once more before Luna looked up at Flutters and gave her own argument, "But Flutter Shy is pure of heart and kind, she can't have part demon soul inside her…wait – she paused as her eyes widened a bit more and she aimed her beady eyes at Flutters(K) - if she has your soul inside her, does that mean you're…"

"Yeah, I'm her demon as well…"

We all gasped even I joined in, I didn't draw out this conclusion nor did anypony. I still had one more question in regards to what K did.

"So, if I have some of your soul in me, Flutters too, and you…does that mean we're somehow connected?"

Flutters jerked her head a bit before turning to me with a huge smile; for a second I believed I was seeing Flutters again but it was still K. She giggled a bit before answering.

"Yeah, but I won't say what we can do…I got my reasons,"

I stared at my hand and wiggled my fingers, I was astonished by the fact that we three have some connection. Celestia quickly ripped out another set of words from my mouth before I could ask.

"Then where is Flutter Shy right now?"

"You wanna see?" Flutters grinned making Celestia frown a bit as she answered demandingly.

"Of course!"

Flutters quickly rose her head and the horn at the peak of her head glowed a dark color before a small smoke cloud appeared; blinding us for a few seconds. Everypony exclaimed their annoyance with the dark cloud. I wafted my hand, removing the smoke that blinded me before catching a glimpse of what appeared to be K but there was something strange about him…HIS EYES WERE GREEN! I quickly resorted to using some energy and swung my hand through the smoke; it disappeared into nothing. By the time the smoke cleared K's body was on the floor and he sat down using his hands to balance himself out.

"There's Flutters." Flutters(K) said aiming a hoof at K(Flutters). I stared at K(Flutters) as I tried to comprehend it all; Flutter Shy was now inside K and K inside Flutters; it wasn't that confusing just a bit hard to accept seeing Flutters in K's body.

For your sake, I'll be using their real names now*

"FLUTTER SHY?!" Everypony/stallion exclaimed getting Flutter's (Flutters inside K's body) attention. She looked up at us and pondered our looks of astonishment as she tilted her head like she usually would in her body.

"Am I back to my normal-" She couldn't finish her sentence, she quickly put her new hands over her mouth before looking at her hands and stuttering over her words, "Wh-what is this!?" Her voice was now K's voice too. I was as shocked as everypony was but I was still able to move unlike them. I moved over to her and offered my hand out to pick her up onto her new feet; this was intense, to say the least. K (inside Flutter's body) stared at me with an evil smile going about with his new pony look.

"Come on, let's see if you can stand," I offered. She looked up at my hand and looked at her own for a few seconds before reaching out and placing her hand on mine. She slowly closed each finger curiously around my hand. I gripped her hand making her grip tighter in response, it felt kinda satisfying for her to respond like that.

"Th-thanks…"

I pulled her up, being careful about it since this is still Flutters. She managed to balance out on both feet. She wobbled for the first few seconds before she stomped a foot firmly and managed to get a full feel for both her feet; a tiny smile of amazement appeared.

"Woah, I gotta say, I'm quite the handsome one with green eyes!" K (Inside of Flutter's body) complimented looking at his body making Flutters nervously chuckle as she unwillingly thanked him. K smiled widely back as he picked himself off the bed and hoped down, he made his way to us and giggled.

"Flutters can do more than just use my body, she can also conjure magic too, cool right!?"

"I-I can?" Flutters asked clutching her hands to her chest insecurely. K nodded proudly as he aimed a hoof towards her and explained how to do so.

"Yeah, just reach out your hand and concentrate on making magic!"

Flutters looked at her hands and aimed one out in front of her, she trembled a bit as she held her hand out, palm facing the ceiling.

"Okay…" She closed one eye as she did what K told her to do; she concentrated on her hand and in seconds, a few swirls of magical plasma appeared. A smile twitched its way onto my face as Flutters opened her other eye and gave a faint chuckle of amazement as a bright pink sphere formed over her hand. K himself couldn't help but giggle in satisfaction.

"It's…pretty," She whispered out mesmerized by the bright color. K agreed proudly before asking Flutters to close her hand; she did, but not before chuckling in her accomplishment. She studied her fingers, wiggling each one in amazement before K got by her side and nudged her. I looked up to everypony, each one was just speechless besides Celestia who mumbled out "how?" multiple times.

"Hey...Flutters, do you think you can fight?" K asked Flutters with a concerned expression but Flutters ignored his expression and answered as kindly as she could.

"What!? No-no-no! I care for others and I can't fight…" Flutters slowly shook her head neglecting the question; she was soft on the inside, she would never fight. I studied K carefully, he has come about with a different tone and his saddened expression emphasised, this was all new. I was getting suspicious, there was no way K would speak like this unless it's important.

"It might come in handy-" K whispered out gloomy but was quickly interrupted Flutters denying. Now I was highly intrigued, a new tone appeared; it sounded like K was trying to warn her.

"No, please I don't want to…" Flutters replied tightening her hand into a fist and making K sigh and frown slightly as he accepted Flutter's response.

"Fine, but if something happens where you must fight, fight until you can't continue…" K whispered again only so Flutters could hear but I was close enough to eavesdrop, he was slowly trying to hint towards something but I refused to draw conclusions too early.

"But-" Flutters quickly countered back firmly but K lifted a hoof to stop her from speaking and he continued.

"It's just something to remember, it might never happen or who knows maybe I'll fight you or someone important to you at some point."

K gave that last advice a bit too seriously and seemed to stare through the floor as he frowned towards it. Flutters wasn't amused but she didn't take it seriously either. I, on the contrary, was not going to go lightly on this; there's a line that he crossed when he mentioned fighting her or some "one". For the moment, I felt all I could do is listen and see how this ends up.

"What? Don't do that!" Flutters exclaimed grabbing the attention of all the ponies, they'd been distracted with their questions; thank goodness for that. K shuddered a bit as he whispered out one more thing.

"Maybe I'll be forced to do so…"

"K? Are you alright?" Flutters asked from a diffrent tone, taking what he was saying seriously and leaning down next to him. K nearly flipped his emotions a whole 180, he quickly grew a smile and shook away all his thoughts before nodding towards Flutters.

"Yes! Yeah…sorry, let's switch back,"

They switched back and now the demonic power of K followed its owner and Flutters returned to her normal pony state and K got his eyes back and his power was his own again. He regrouped everyponies' attention and began explaining the bit before I got here and before the princesses arrived. It was a strange tale without a doubt, one full of sexual pleasures but I didn't mind that as much as what he whispered to Flutters.

I eyed K with my hands across my chest, as he continued explaining, I wasn't going to attack him but I guess my look said differently; it got Luna's attention. She neared my side again and gave me a slight touch with her hoof, I was so concentrated I jumped from the sudden interruption. Luna flinched back a bit with a cute worried expression and I responded with a smile; how could I not smile?

"You okay?"

I paused for a moment before answering with the overused "Yeah, I'm fine". It took a lot more than just a simple warning to break me and I always give everyone second chances to do right unless I know they're a danger from the start; that says a lot too. For Luna's sake and the fact, she could read minds, I forced myself to forget about my worry for the moment and focus on what was most important now; All my friends and this upcoming musical, plus I meet some cuties like Octavia…who knows.

"You sure, you became a bit jumpy after…you know, K's story…which was totally unexpected, my sister is still shouting at him and so is Shining,"

"Yeah, just a bit worried about this thing I entered myself into…"

"Really?"

"Yeah, some Canterlot musical-"

"FESTIVAL!?"

"Yup!"

"but…I was going to invite you…"

"Wow! Really! Thanks!"

"But if you're participating then I CAN'T WAIT!"

"Thanks! I'll make it as special as I can for you and everypony there!"

"But…can you sing? And you don't even have band or orchestra…"

I reached my hand to my back and grabbed the neck of the guitar before bringing it up in front of me. Luna's eyes became the biggest I've ever seen them as she got the guitar into her view and practically lost her mind.

"Is-is-is that a guitar? With six strings?" She enthusiastically whispered out covering her mouth with her hooves. I nodded and smiled as I held back the urge to pluck a string.

"Yes, and you better believe it's going to destroy the competition!"

"Yer darn right, it will!"

Both me and Luna turned to face Applejack and Vinyl with the rest of the crew behind them, all of them giving us warm smiles even K had an addition to his smile; two painfully well-given slaps on either side of his cheeks One from Celestia and One from Shining…must have been given with their magic too…they don't have hands. Twilight remained tightly to K's side, I might even say…awfully close. I was probably going to spend the rest of the day studying how some of my friends became more attached with each other; Lyra was extremely close to Bonbon, and Dash to Flutters too.

I quickly smiled as I accepted the fact that my friends have become more "connected" with each other.

"K told us about your participation in the upcoming Musical Festival," Celestia began and the rest in unison finished for her excitedly, "AND WE'LL BE THERE TO WATCH!"

"But not me!" K yelled out from the crowd making them all turn and yell at him.

"WHAT!?"

K walked over to a shelf with a smirk and placed his hand over a wooden neck before swinging out a guitar from the shadows of the shelf, fully fitted with all strings and even had a strap like mine for going around the shoulder. Everypony gasped as he moved over to my side and placed the guitar strap over his shoulder and strung a few strings that came out perfectly mellow and even made Luna shiver as she widened her eyes.

"I'll be by my dude's side playing along!"

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Luna, Celestia, Twilight, Cadence, and Shining exclaimed; they've never heard the guitar be strung in melody. K chuckled as he began playing a slight small tune that mimicked that of a slow-paced love song, more specifically Alan Jackson's "Remember When", It was an odd pick for him but if he likes love music, I couldn't argue, I did too. He practically recited the first minute without the vocals, he was the push that forced me to join in with my guitar. Together we did the next thirty seconds but forced it to a close by Luna's and everypony else's trembling.

"That-that isn't normal!"

"Really, I had to resist the urge to sing the vocals!" K chuckled as he wiggled his fingers and turned to me, I looked up at him with a smirk; I couldn't stay mad at him when he literally brings joy to every damn thing with his way of being.

"Yeah, but that's enough! Let's save the voices for the musical!"

"Right!" K assured with an excited smile. I honestly wish I hadn't listened in on what he said to Flutters but at least I could appreciate that he was going to be right there next to me on the stage.

"That's amazing! How did you learn to play such a thing?" Celestia asked making me smile as I answered as simply as I could.

"My dad!"

"Yeah, he sorta mine too since were sorta the same guy!"

"Sure, my dad, your dad, demon!" I chuckled making him wrap his arm around my neck and rustle my hair playfully as he laughed out loud. The more he played around the more I felt I was misjudging him, I couldn't hate this guy and if I even tried he'd make up for it with his antics.

"Your father must have been a noble human," Luna claimed with some melancholy in her tone; she knew he was deceased but I know he would be just like me if he were here. I smiled as I nodded in agreement with K's arm still locked around my neck.

"Yeah, don't feel bad about it! as long as I remember him for life, he lives within me just like mom," I smiled placing my hand over my chest around the area where my heart was. Luna noticed my gesture and she did something similar with her hoof.

"Me too…"

I patted my chest with my hand as a gesture of my understanding of her compassion, "Thanks, Luna, that means a lot."

She gleamed up at me with a "you're welcome" smile and sighed deeply as she looked behind her at the rest of the ponies who all showed their signs of joy. Luna smiled for a few seconds before her smile fell into curiosity as she turned back to me.

"Would you like to rest at our home? Until the Festival at least?"

I was undecided about the offer, I didn't like being too far from my friends here especially since I gave my word to those two next to me. I looked around at all the ponies and their expression before turning to Luna; all I saw was "oh well" as I scanned the room. Luna giggled as she looked around as well and gave me a gentle smile.

"Of course, we can't leave the audience too, we have enough space for everypony here!"

I can't explain how quickly almost everypony cheered and smiled joyfully and I pumped a fist along with K by my side with his guitar behind him on his back like mine. He looked at me and nodded with a friendly smirk on his face which I returned to him before I kicked the air full of joy.

"Alright then! I guess all those smiles mean YEAH! LET'S GO!"

It was dark and dingy, the walls full pores and hidden paths that could lead anywhere. She stood there on her throne as she reminisced about that moment that scarred her, how could she forget when it forced her to ignore everything. She laid there on the throne with her head hanging from the edge loosely and her eyes nearly shutting from the thought of falling asleep from waiting for hours.

Sigh*

It was really getting to her, she was either going to settle her mind or die in the guilt of ignoring it. Her eyes quickly darted upwards to look at one of her Drones come in with a weary-looking paper in his mouth. She quickly lifted herself and stood straight up on the throne; back straight and head up high with hope. The Drone gave a tilt of curiosity to his head before nearing and letting the paper un-scroll itself off his mouth.

"Have you found out anything?" Chrysalis asked taking the paper from his mouth with her magic and studying its contents. The paper was a poster for an event that will be happening in Canterlot, a musical in which anyone was allowed to join. Chrysalis pouted as she looked down to her Drone with an unimpressed look.

"What's this? You can't seriously expect me to enter this."

The Drone bowed down and shook his head, "No empress, there is a good chance "He" might be there!"

Chrysalis widened her eyes as she quickly neared the poster to her face and read it again; a small smile twitched onto her face before quickly disappearing. She looked down at the bowing Drone with a smile again before quickly slapping it away with her magic and regaining her original "queen" composure.

"Yes, he might be there…For once I'll actually congratulate your work, your free from duties for today…just today."

"REALLY!? I-uh…I mean, I'll accept without argument!" The Drone responded bowing down again from his lost stance.

"Good…now take off before I regret it." Chrysalis sternly stated making the Drone quickly become scarce leaving only one word behind.

"Yes!"

When he finally was out of sight, Chrysalis looked down at the paper before giving it a joyful kiss and laughing a bit manically. The Drone that supposedly left, peered over an edge of a wall and stared at his queen lose her mind to a piece of paper. He chuckled along quietly before smiling a bit.

"If this whoever makes her this joyful, I guess I can consider him a member of our empire! He-he I wonder who it could be?!" The Drone thought as he wrapped his belly with his hooves and chuckled from the warm feeling inside him.

"What is this…feeling?" He chuckled out a bit louder as he let himself fall on the floor and clutch his abdomen as he tried to resist the want to laugh from joy, he ultimately failed as he rolled around on the ground insanely for a few minutes before stopping and huffing out the feeling before smiling a toothy smile. "YAY!"

Chrysalis studied the paper before grinning a bit and quickly using her magic to move over a few things from the side of the throne. It was a suitcase of a dark reddish color, nearly violet. She popped it open and studied a few things inside like a blanket, pillow, toothbrush, brush, and a small sample of a strange glowing liquid. She smirked as she quickly spawned the steel sword that intrigued K so much and she perfectly fit it inside the case before closing it firmly. She smiled a bit before sighing deeply.

"Canterlot…" She hissed out as she squinted her eyes seriously and smirked once more before licking her lips lusciously. A slight blush appeared on her as she giggled out more and hopped down from her throne.

"Here I come again!"
