Another celebration was occurring as a result of Equestria pulling through their latest incident. It was the usual fare he had come to know and understand after the first few celebrations.

"You seem rather bored."

Naruto turned to see Twilight approaching him. She was wearing her dress from the last congratulatory party. "Well, you kind of get used to these sort of things."

"I see," She replied as the classical music was soon changed from calming to something more suited to dancing. "Dance with me?"

Naruto nodded as he and Twilight went out to the middle of the floor.

Naruto and Twilight began to dance at a slow pace as their foreheads touched. Naruto carefully placed his hands on her hips, sending a delightful shudder throughout her body. Twilight, placed her arms around his shoulders.

"So, I'm thinking we should take a vacation for a few days. After this we deserve it.

She looked up at him with a smile that lit up the whole room, as if the whole room wasn't bright enough! "I would like that. Will it just be us?"

"You, me, and the girls. You think Spike would be willing to look after Scootaloo for me?"

"Well I don't see why not. But can it wait a couple of days? I feel like I have not been able to spend a lot of proper time with Nyx with everything that has been going on and I don't want to her to feel like she's an after thought."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I thought think Scootaloo and I have done any father-daughter bonding in the last few weeks. I really should figure out something before our trip."

As they continued they could feel the eyes of the other attendees. The familiar eyes of their fellow bond mates was filled with encouragement and anxiousness. It was obvious that the other mares were looking forward to their turn. There was also the calculating gaze of some of the nobles, there was no telling what they were planning.

At this point there was hardly a pony in the capital city that didn't know of the two. The two of them continued their dance as they brought their attention back to solely each other.

The sounds of laughter and the stomping of hooves echoed throughout Whitetail Woods.

"Come here, Scootaloo!" Naruto chuckled as he ran after his daughter.

"Come on old man, just try and keep up with me." Scootaloo replied, her voice just as cheerful. The young filly ran as fast as she could, managing to keep one step ahead of the pace Naruto was going. While not as toned as Applebloom, Scootaloo was quickly on the path of becoming the second largest filly of their class and one of the strongest in the whole school.

Naruto just chuckled as he trotted after his daughter, seeing that she was starting to tire out. The little spitfire could go on for hours which was a useful traits for her talents and interests. Her stamina waning Naruto took the opportunity to burst forward and snatched her by the waist, throwing her over his shoulder.

"Ah! Let me go!" Scootaloo giggled as she squirmed like a worm under his arm, trying desperately to escape.

"Fifty-six seconds. You didn't last a minute. You know what that means. Punishment time." Using his other arm he reached to the right as his fingers poked against her abdomen before the feverish assault begin.

"S-Stop!" Scootaloo squealed out, gasping for breath.

"Nope," Naruto replied as he began to tickle her with his fingers. Scooatloo was easily ticklish. A fact she was embarrassed by and one of the things Naruto used to mess with her.

Finally, after Scootaloo had started to turn a little pale from laughing and lack of breath. Naruto stopped. He let her down and hugged her. He hugged her tightly and let out an exhale. He felt...so guilty. Everything he had learned about the future from his counterpart. Everypony he had mentioned he missed in great detail...but yet. But yet not a single word about the filly that was supposed to be his daughter. It made him sick to his stomach. How could...how could he...how could the other him allow the filly to be an after thought? Old fears of him being a terrible father began to resurface. He would not...no he could not allow himself to make the same mistakes.

"Dad, what are you...stop, you're embarrassing me."

"What do you got to be embarrassed about? Nopony is around to see." He said as he held a little tighter. "Scootaloo. You know I love you right. That you're my kid wholeheartedly and you mean the world to me right?"

"...barassing." the filly murmured while blushing. "What are you getting all sappy for?"

"Just...just know I love you okay." He said as he buried his face into her mane.

Scootaloo normally hated feeling all sappy and stuff, but it felt so nice to be loved. "Yeah, love you too dad."

Twilight couldn't help but notice Nyx was a bit more quiet then usual. Normally it wouldn't be unusual for them to sit quietly together, reading books and soaking the silence, but it was obvious that her daughter had something on her mind. Still, the message that her counterpart had left for her in her library.

The unusual gem that could only have been delivered by a kagebunshin.

'In timeline left behind, before Naruto became the Overlord the survivors of Equestria's fall had found a , our little Nyx grew into one of the brightest and bravest leaders I had ever seen. She...she can be so much more Twilight so when the time comes don't make the same mistakes I did. When the time comes allow her to spread her wings.

"So how's school going?"

"Fine," she mumbled, eyes trained down.

"…How are the other crusaders?

"They're good."

Casting her gaze around, Twilight chewed her lip. What was it that Ditzy had told her? How do you coax an untalkative filly? Twilight frowned thoughtfully for a moment until the suggestion came back to her. She hopped to her hooves and cantered off towards the kitchen. When she came back, she had an ice cream cone floating in a glow of magic. Nyx's eyes flew wide and a grin spread across her face.

"Here. Now will with this peace offering I hope you're willing to talk." Nyx offered her a chagrined smile between licks. "Now what's wrong?"

Nyx sighed, a stare directed at her cone. "It's…well, most adults keep asking me questions, about my parents."

Twilight nodded slowly. "…I can see why that would bother you." Her backstory was vague enough to where if need be they could feel in the blanks without worrying about anyone digging in to deep looking for any contradictions. "But seeing as I adopted you, I am not sure why most ponies would make it there business to learn anymore then that?" Despite the words she used Twilight knew full and well why. Some ponies were always looking at an angle.

"Some of them...some of them...think one of the Nightmare children were my parents and they cast a spell on my fur so I would look like her."

Twilight couldn't help but wince at this. The shade of black to Nyx's fur could not be replicated by regular breeding. Faint remnants of Ethereal magic had given the filly a glow to her coat that could not be replicated even by unicorn magic.

"And...and some of the others are saying I was just a mistake you were hiding til now." The sadden filly stammered out with a quavering voice.

"You are not a mistake." Twlight emphasized firmly as she pulled Nyx into a tight hug. "They are wrong honey. Those are terrible ponies who seem to lack any understanding of common sense and personal business." She soothingly stroked Nyx's back and kissed her forehead. Twilight was already forming plans to find out the name of these ponies and give them a 'warning' of the consequences that would befall them if they continued her daughter. "Is...is there anything else I should know?" She softly asked Nyx.

The bookworm's kind and understanding smile cut through Nyx's nerves. "I..well...its..." she gently kicked her hooves back and forth. "You know, how you're in a herd with auntie Rarity and the others right?"

"Yes..." Twilight answered, dread starting to overcome her. 'Oh Celestia don't panic! Oh Celestia don't panic! Oh Celestia don't panic! I'm not ready to give her the talk yet!' Twilight inwardly panicked as her eye began to twitch. She was just starting the whole mother thing, she didn't want to get to that milestone just yet.

"Does...does that make uncle Naruto..still my uncle? Or when you...you marry him will he be...my...dad?" She whispered the last part, looking away as if the mere utterance was enough to occur punishment from her mother.

"W-What?" Twilight asked out with a stammer as she tried to process what she was just asked.

"N-Nothing. Nevermind mom. I-It was a silly question. I should just be happy with what I have."

Twilight continued her silence as she realized why Nyx seemed a bit more withdrawn lately whenever they went out and did things. Whenever she saw Nyx looking at others she had assumed Nyx wanted to do all the other things she saw other fillies her age experienced, but now it made sense. She had always observed families for a reason. Families where there was a stallion with a herd. Did she...did she feel left out by not having a father?

This was...this was a rather delicate situation.

"No honey, its a perfectly normal thing to wonder. I...I'll tell you what. Let me...let me talk with him. This is a delicate situation, but no matter what happens remember I love you, your aunts love you. You family, your uncle, we all love you okay." Twilight assured her as Nyx nodded. This was going to be a rather delicate situation indeed and when she talked with Naruto about it, she could only hope things go smoothly.

Much needed Family bonding with the father daughter and mother daughter pair. The next few chapters will be a much needed break before going into the final arcs of season three.
