Wake up. Wake up. Your eyes slowly opened as you saw a pair of teal colored eyes.

Wake up sweetheart you have a big day of running a kingdom. You opened your eyes to see blurry color it was light pink it seemed oddly familiar.

Wake up you're going to be late. It said in a soft and soothing voice

"Eris stop I'm trying to sleep."

"Who's Eris Sweetheart? One of your friends?" You opened your eyes and rubbed them to see Fluttershy on your bed with only the blanket covering her chest.

"F-Fluttershy what are you doing in my room." She only smiled started to crawl up your body you squirmed backwards and fell off the bed to see that Fluttershy slowly turned back to Eris as her lustful smile turned into a wicked grin.

"Hahaha you're such an easy target. You should've seen the look on your face."

"What the actual fuck E! You almost gave me a fucking heart attack!" You shouted as you began to breath heavily.

"Ya know you're kind of an easy target I mean you complaining about love in front of me has given me plenty of ideas to make your life a living hell." She said with a giggle as she rose from the bed gathering her clothes from the floor.

The odd thing about your friendship with Eris is that she doesn't mind being naked in front of you. You were always self-conscience about your looks when you were little and for Eris it wasn't much of a big deal to her they're just there because they make you comfortable to look at her, for all she could care you could look at her naked body for as long as you wanted. She didn't really mind revealing everything to you. As for you, you've grown out of the self-conscience phase not really caring how you looked.

"Whatever I'll see you in a few." You gathered up your clothes and began to walk towards the shower as Eris began to dress herself in new clothes which was basically a different colored dress that she always wore.

A few minutes later...

After your shower you spotted Eris playing with Lola as she made Lola chase a baby carrot around on your bed teasing her every time she got close. You would've told her to stop but at the same time Lola was getting a little tubby so a little exercise would do her some good.

"So you ready?" Eris asked not looking towards you

"Ready for what?" You asked walking towards your drawer taking out your lucky charm. A fire ruby surround by gold and silver linings with a platinum chain holding it together. It was in the shape of the sun which made it even more special seeing as your mother's Cutie Mark.

"You still carry that around?"

"Yeah, it's my luck charm I'll never throw it away." You informed as you placed it around your neck.

"You do know ponies will get curious if you wear that around town hell a few might think you're Celestia's lover mostly due to you living in Canterlot before you came here." Eris warned

"Trust me ponies here are more interested in my body then where I came from." Eris let out a small giggle as she laid back down on the bed.

"Anyway what do you want to do today?"

"What I want to do?" Eris asked with a sultry smile something about it made you feel weird.

"Really now." You proceed to walk towards Eris as she slowly got closer to you just as your lips came in contact with hers, you touched the back of her head and gave it a light smack.

"Owww what was that for?" She asked as she rubbed the back of her head.

"No reason just wanted to see how you'd react." You chuckled as Lola climbed on to your shoulder

"You're a jackass Dante, but I did asked for it. So what do you have planned today?" She asked yet again with her usual perky sounding voice

"Wanna go to the lake? Have bit of a swim while we're here?" Eris shrugged as you began to pack for the trip as soon as you were done you walked out of your room and downstairs to see Spike organizing the many books in the library.

"Hey Spike isn't it Twilight's day to organize these damn books? Why aren't you out like I don't know having a life?"

"Haha very funny asshole Twilight asked me to take over seeing as I have nothing better to do might as well get this finished with." He said in a sarcastic tone.

"Well stop organizing and get ready we're going to the lake you and me."

"Wait just us? Why the sudden urge to go to the lake?" He asked

"Do you wanna stop placing these damn books in alphabetical order or do you wanna have fun?"

"Thanks, but no thanks." He returned to organizing the many books you had to get him out of the house and the only way to get him out was to make him go.

"Alright I guess you're going to miss seeing Rarity in a bikini but hey it's your choice." As you began to walk towards he door you felt his claw on your shoulder

"You're being completely serious right? Rarity in a bikini? You can do that?" He asked eager to see his dream girl in something other than a dress.

"I can and I will just for you my baby dragon adoptive brother who looks more like a teenager then a baby, but hey can't blame anatomy." He smiled and hugged you he let go of you allowing you to exited the library.

"You're really going to Rares to get into a bikini?" Eris asked

"Yup even I wanna see how she looks. Plus seeing you in a bikini would make my day." Eris smiled as you continued on into town to look for your many friends.

Canterlot...

Raiden had woken up from his sleep to be escorted to the throne room. As he was most likely in trouble for what he had done to his friends, Raiden slowly entered the room where his mother,aunt,and cousin had been waiting.

"Ah…you call for me mom?" He asked in a slight nervous voice

"Yes last night what you did was highly irresponsible." Luna said to her adopted child with slight anger

"Is this for what happened to Morning and Flora? What happen to them? Are they ok?"

"They're fine, any longer and they would've gotten hurt." Celestia informed

Raiden sighed as he looked to the ground upset that he almost hurt his friends over something as silly as a magically poison.

"We've decided your punishment and you're grounded for a two weeks that means no flying,no friends,and you cannot enter the library without supervision."

"W-w-wha? I can't fly! That's totally unfair! Mom please you can ground me for three weeks, a month even, but please let me fly!" Raiden argued as he tried to reason with Luna.

"I'm sorry Raiden but this is for the better you need to know that there's a punishment for every wrong thing you do."

"What about her! I wouldn't have gotten curious about love if she didn't say a single thing to you Princess!" Raiden shouted as he pointed towards Cadence stating it was her fault in the first place.

"My fault? You were the one who eavesdropped on my conversation with Aunt Celestia."

"But...but ugh!" Raiden said angrily as he exited the throne room in both anger and annoyance.

Luna sighed as she rubbed her temples she didn't want to punish Raiden for what he did, but she had no choice he had to know just because he's a prince doesn't protect him from punishment.

"You did the right thing Luna, don't worry he's just annoyed right now." Celestia stated

"I don't feel like I did the right thing I feel awful he's suppose to enjoy his youth."

"And he will."

"How did you do it Celly how did you punish Dante. He's such a sweet boy." Luna asked

"Oh Dante was never a sweet boy he was quite the mischievous little boy especially with him not being born in a world with magic and creatures he's never encountered before. Do you think the first time I punished Dante that he was okay with what I gave him. Oh no no no Cadence was there when he threw a temper tantrum over me teaching Twilight about magic when I had time and I didn't spend it with him. He was clingy and attached little boy, but when Cadence started taking care of him he began to become the boy he is today. Strong,brave and quite the intelligent boy."

"Dante just seems more of a quiet and reserved boy, Raiden feels like the complete opposite though I do enjoy his curiosity." Luna said with a slight smile

"He's actually the complete opposite, he's not the boy you've seen, he was the reason why I started to grow a large connection with him and I feel tingly with him, he's my son and I'll always love him." Celestia responded as she smiled looking down towards her small heart shaped pendant. A gift you gave to Celestia on Mother's Day.

"Aunt Luna I'll be happy to check up on Raiden to see how he's doing." Luna nodded and sighed before closing her eyes

Cadence began to walk towards the exit and smiled.

Dante all over again.

Ponyville...

You walked towards SugarCube Corner knowing that your friends would most likely be there considering it was quite the hot day with son being brighter then usual.

Mom must be happy about something. You mumbled

"Isn't she always happy I mean come on she's never mad not even when you stole that gauntlet from the treasury."

"Yeah I remember it's totally weird that she'd just sit there with no expression whatsoever, hell when I feign cried she didn't even flinch."

"But seeing her cry when she got Luna back broke my heart slightly and when I got her that pendant sure did hurt me in the feels." You said holding your chest.

"Don't die on me now." Eris joked as she patted your back

"Oh shut up." She giggled and continued on towards the bakery as you spotted the bakery you were stopped by Aleks who seemed to be waiting there.

"Dante there you are! I've been looking all over I got some info you're going to need."

"Oh and what's up?" You asked as you sat in the chair just across from him.

"Ya know how you wanted me to get some info on the girls that love you? Well guess what some of these girl woo-wee are they different. Fluttershy's “assets” are the one thing these stallions envy you for. Everyone of the stallions here in Ponyville are jealous of you, saying you hit the jackpot with Flutters and her “assets”."

"That's kind of a dumb thing to be jealous of. Anything else?"

"Yeah ya know they say chivalry is dead seems like you're proving them wrong. You gallant fool you." He said with a chuckle

"Uh what the hell are you talking about?"

"You dense idiot I'm talking about how each girl you've encountered so far has their eyes set on making you their coltfriend. You have the three of the four virtues needed to being a Knight in shining armor."

"Three quarters of the way there." You said with a chuckle

"Anyway that's all I got go see your girl if you want more info." He rose from his seat and took one glance at you before walking away laughing slightly.

"He's really hellbent on helping you isn't he?" Eris asked

"He's the kind of guy you could rely on when you need help with anything he's been my best friend for years now and helped me through some crazy times in our past."

"Oh one more thing. Talk to Trixie more just because she's in Ponyville doesn't mean she'll stay forever even if you beg. Talk to her while you got time it's best if you remember your old friends then forget them." Aleks said walking back towards you

"You really care about Trixie huh?"  

"She's a mutual friend Dante don't forget the ones you met first, learn to talk to others who were your friends first." Aleks then walked away from you something about his tone sounded almost angry with you and the way you treated your friends, but due to the way he talks he isn't much of an angry person at heart.

"Whoa where did that come from?" You asked Eris as she flew beside you

"He's right Dante you're kinda forgetting the ones who made you to a social guy." You sighed as Eris and Aleks made you feel guilty though you'd worry about friendships later for now you were hot and needed a dip in the lake with some of your well-known friends, you'd deal with melodrama at a later date.

You approached SugarCube Corner to see your friends happily exchanging talk amongst each other. You quickly inhaled as you saw Fluttershy holding a small bug type creature near her mane making you feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Oh hi Dante!" Pinkie happily shouted as she giggled slightly

"What's with you Pinks?"

"Nothing." She continued giggling as you rolled your eyes. You weren't even going to try to figure that mare.

"Anyway what's up with you girls?" You asked as you sat down nearby them.

"Nothing really besides it being really,really hot." Rainbow complained as she laid back on her chair covering her face from the sunshine.

"Yeah it's almost hot to the point where i'd just like to be in my undies." Pinkie replied with both her perky attitude and as much seriousness she could muster before laughing yet again.

"That would be an odd way to spend the day Pinkie wouldn't you be embarrassed if somepony walked into your room seeing you in a unflattering position." Fluttershy asked with a blush

"Nope! Who's going to come inside my room without knocking!?" She asked with much curiosity

"Well what about the stallion you like so much." Rarity countered

"W-what stallion?" Pinkie asked as she blushed and looked down towards her hooves

"Now I'm interested who's this stallion our little party mare loves so much?" You asked with a teasing tone.

"You should know he hangs around you a lot." Rainbow informed chuckling as Pinkie had a bright red blush across her pink coat

"My friend? Aleksandr?"

"Yeah that guy Pinkie's been going on and on about that guy since she first talked to him a few days ago."

"Well I'm not much of a matchmaker that's mostly Rarity's job, but I'll help you out Pinks trust me we guys have a code and when it comes to girls we'll help out the densest idiot find out about their love from a distance."

"Takes one to know one." Rainbow muttered

"Anyway you girls wanna go to the lake it's not too far plus I'm guessing with this heat anything with water sure does sound great huh?" The six mares giggled and nodded rising from their seats getting ready to leave to their homes.

"Then it's settled we'll get ready and you meet us at the lake. Okay?" Twilight stated as you gave a solid salute and walked away from the group and towards the lake near Ponyville.

"Looks like you got yourself a job good luck with that." Eris said with a slight chuckle

"Yeah it'll be easy. Aleks and Pinkie are the perfect match." Eris giggled and nodded before flying right next to you.

Canterlot...

"This must be his room." Cadence said aloud as she knocked against his wooden door.

"Raiden are you in?" She asked

"You're not coming in! So what do you want?!" He shouted

"I just want to talk."

"We have nothing to talk about! Go away!" He shouted back

"I know you're feeling upset Raiden you feel betrayed, trust me I've been through this I can help you just because Aunt Luna punished you, doesn't mean she doesn't love you." Cadence stated as she sat near his door and started talking to Raiden. It was silent for a few seconds.

"What do you mean?" He asked not shouting, but enough to let Cadence know he was talking to her in his inside voice.

"Did you know Aunt Celestia had a son, he felt the same way when Celestia punished him, when he pranked me. He was angry at me for telling, he thought that we didn't love him that we just wanted to punish him, but we loved him and cared for him." Cadence felt the door slowly push open as she back up slightly seeing the young colt through a crack in the door.

"And what happened to him? Did he leave and hate you two forever?" Raiden asked

"Of course not I talked to him and felt ultimately sorry that he was being a brat he apologized and said he was willing to take the punishment. He apologized to me and Celestia."

"Hmph! Now you were going to tell me that he was a homeless kid too, how am I sure you're not lying to me? Just to laugh at me for being so naïve?" He said in annoyance

"If you're saying appearing out of nowhere and causing Celestia to relax once in awhile then yes he was homeless."

There was a short pause, Raiden slowly cracked open the door.

"What do you mean 'appeared out of nowhere?'" He asked confused by Cadence's meaning

"Well he just appeared in the garden, years before you were born, he ran from guards trying to capture him and even kept calm when Blueblood made fun of him."

"Blueblood? Like the same one who ordered some guards to kill me?" He asked

"Yeah the same, he was a lot younger and still the same pony he is today. Anyway the boy was scared afraid of the new world he was in, even crying when Celestia approached him she told him not to worry that she'll try to find him a way home." Cadence said with a smile reminiscing about the past.

"And she did? Did that kid return to his home?"

"No, he's still here in Equestria living a life he always wanted, Celestia decided to adopt him and make him Prince of Equestria, he was so excited when he heard that announcement, he was even excited that I was going to babysit him, he said that I'm the big sister he never ever had before. If you open your door I could show you a picture of the boy, but he's going to be a little younger in the picture then his actual age." Raiden slowly pushed open the door and crawled out of his room

"How old is he now?"

"Seventeen."

"And why haven't I seen him around?"

"Isn't obvious? He didn't belong here, so we kicked him out just like we should've do to you." Blueblood said with a chuckle as he heard the two converse.

"I heard what happened, I always knew you were nothing but trouble honestly, I have no idea what Aunt Luna was thinking!"

"We didn't kick him out Blueblood, he left with his best friend to Ponyville, I swear you're being just as unreasonable to Raiden then you were to Dante." Cadence replied with a glare

"Oh come on cousin you're still blaming me for that? Dante was always a freak, it's not my fault he hated ponies." He then looked towards Raiden and smiled as he circled Raiden.

"At least Dante was harmless, this stray probably will attack us and give us rabies if we keep feeding it." Raiden held back his tears as he ran back into his room shutting the door with great force, a moment of silence was heard as sobbing began to be heard from the other side of the room

"Pathetic, the sooner we get rid of him the better." Blueblood walked away from Cadence who just sat dumbfounded at what just happened she sighed and laid her head on the wooden door

"Just like Dante all over." She said with a sigh as she closed her eyes

Ponyville...

"Cannonball!" Pinkie shouted as she jumped into the cool clear water of moonlite lake.

A big splash of water washed over you as you laughed with your many friends they seemed to enjoy themselves getting away from the heat.

Pinkie seemed like the most childish of the girls who had been wearing a bikini. Pinkie had well a pink revealing top and bottom with frilly fins on the side.

"Easy Pinks ya don't wanna drown yourself." Rainbow said with a chuckle as she happily floated by.

Rainbow Dash wore a rather normal two piece black bikini.

"Oh calm down Dashie it's not like I'm trying to hold my breath like AJ over she's been underwater for over four minutes now." AJ then resurfaced and happily laughed as she started to inhale the glorious air that she so need. AJ seemed to have a country side to her outfit only wearing short shorts and a white t-shirt that had a green bra underneath.

"How long was that Flutters?"

"Four minutes and thirty seconds that was amazing." Fluttershy giggled and placed down the stop watch and glanced at you she seemed happy when she saw you just float on the water your eyes closed as you felt the world spin around you. You slightly opened your left eye to see Fluttershy look at you, you felt kind of odd as you practically eye raped her looking up her slender and beautiful legs all the way to her hips and cutie mark, making your way to her bountiful bust.

"Oh god I feel creepy." You mumbled as Eris swam towards due to almost everyone of your friends being in the water the swishing and changing of the water wasn't much of difference for what was to come.

"Well you're practically eye raping her try to be a little more subtle when you do that, seriously she'll think you're creepy if you keep that up." Eris let out a small giggle before ducking down underwater

"Hey I'm just trying to see what I'm getting into if I do go after her." Eris swam up and glared at you before punching your shoulder.

"Don't be a shallow jackass Dante, not everything has to be about looks. Look at Shy now." You turned your head to see Fluttershy had brought a notepad with her with a few pencils.

"Looks like she likes to write or draw, go and check it out yourself and remember looks don't matter." Eris said to you as she slowly sank into the lake.

You let out a small chuckle and stopped floating swimming back to shore, as you exited the lake you spotted Spike mentally undressing Rarity, you approached him and crouched down to his position and whispered.

"Look forward and keep your eyes towards the lake then steal a peek, Rarity won't get suspicious and you'll have all those thoughts to yourself. Trust me." Spike nodded and did as he was told you smiled as you looked back to your dragon brother seeing mature was both a rewarding experience and a creepy site, but you did eye rape Fluttershy so all is forgiven, and given the circumstances Fluttershy might've stolen a few glances herself.

As you approached Fluttershy she quickly put the journal against her chest as if she didn't want you to peek inside.

"What's up Flutters? You're all on shore with just your thoughts why don't you take a dip in the lake?"

"I'm fine just being here with my friends is refreshing enough."

"I doubt it's as refreshing as entering the water, but you're right as long as you're with the ponies you care for it makes it the perfect afternoon."

"Exactly. Um Dante would you like to see the picture I drew its not the best but please tell me if you found anything bad about it." You smiled and nodded as she handed you the small notebook. You surveyed the image to see that the lines were slightly messy and she could've used a ruler if she had one on her and there were a few colors that seemed slightly abnormal for there to be on the picture other than that it looked fine.

"It looks fine Fluttershy I see you we're drawing the hills that looked over Ponyville. Ya know if you come here at midnight you'd be able to see a shooting star every once in awhile, I leaned that when I couldn't sleep one evening a few weeks back. Every midnight on the dot you could see a shooting star it looks amazing almost as if there was a huge rock being smashed into little pieces the stardust some times falls onto the hill and if you're lucky enough you could capture some."

"Really? Oh I'd love to just see a small speckle of the stardust. I bet it looks amazing." Fluttershy said with a sigh as she placed the journal back down on her towel and laid back down.

"Well I could take you to the hill sometime."

"Oh aren't you busy with other things? I wouldn't want to take your time with my silly fantasy." She asked with concern

"I mentioned the stardust didn't I? So it's my fault don't worry about it I promise I'll take you when I have time."

"Then it's a date." Fluttershy said with a giggle as she rose from her spot and walked towards the lake the small side of your perverted mind went straight to her butt as she walked away just her hips made you feel stir-crazy but that was to expected with the types of friends you make.

"Good job Dante seems like you got yourself in quite the predicament." Twilight said with a giggle as she sat near you.

"I did promise her that I'd take her to see the shooting stars when I wasn't busy. So of course I dragged myself into a spot and promise that I must fulfill ya know me always one with promises."

"Yeah you always promised others things that later you'd later get somehow, like that teddy bear you got me for hearths warming. All the shops were closed and it was almost midnight so you ran out of the room, you were spending hearths warming with me and my family that was odd but fun sleepover."

"Not to mention your first sleepover with boy involved. Anyway you aren't the first girl I've given a teddy bear to Twi, trust me I have a lot more friends with teddy bears with their initials on them."

"Oh and who would they be?" She asked with curiosity

"Trixie for one. By the way have you gotten any closer to becoming friends?"

"I've tried but all my attempts ended up with awkward silence or her just teleporting away." You sighed and nodded

"Eventually I'll get her more friends. Eventually."

"You're way too nice Dante, always helping your friends when they're in need or just plain trying to resolve issue you're just a goody two-shoes."

"Says you miss hero of Equestria and student of one of the most powerful beings in the world A.K.A my mother." You smiled and hugged Twilight as she only sat there confused

"What was that for?"

"Keeping me in line all these years and for being my informant if Fluttershy's love grows any larger."

"Damn I knew I shouldn't have told you anything." She mumbled as she crossed her arms pushing up her ample bust.

"Ah don't worry about a thing Twi just be thankful that you have an older brother by your side."

"You're only older by six months."

"Still older, sweetheart, still older." You said with a chuckle as you rose from the ground and walked over to the lake.

"So what's our next game girls?" You asked Pinkie and Rainbow as they had set up all of the games you had the chance to play today

"Rainbow doesn't wanna play hold your breath because she thinks that I'll just win every time."

"The way you're talking, it sounds like you're at an unfair advantage." Rainbow stated

"With your mouth I'm surprised how you could even hold your breath." You mumbled

"What was that!?" Pinkie asked

"Nothing nothing anyway I think Rainbow's right let's find something else to do. Flutters got any suggestions?"

"We could play with the beach ball try to keep it up without it touching the water." Fluttershy suggested

"Great idea Flutters! I'll start first." Rainbow stated as she grabbed the ball from her and throw it up in the air and used a strong uppercut to push it further towards the sky.

It's going to be a long day.

Canterlot...

As Cadence woke from her slumber she looked around to see that she was in her room, the bedside table had many pictures of you and her younger self either posing in funny positions or with you and Twilight just acting goofy, other were with her and her future husband smiling as they had taken pictures of themselves.

"Finally you're awake." Cadence looked up to see Shining standing over her he seemed relieved that she was finally awake, Cadence looked behind him to see that the sun began to set.

"How long was I asleep for?" She asked running her eyes

"Quite awhile I'm not sure what happened but they seemed to be concerned over your health so they informed me." Cadence sighed and nodded as she looked towards her lap.

"What's wrong?" Shining asked

"Have you seen the young colt who roamed around the castle a few hours ago?"

"You mean the colt who looks like Luna?"

"Yeah well looks like he's having the same troubles as Dante had when he was a kid, being harassed by Blueblood, thinking his mother doesn't love him."

"Looks like you got your work cut out for ya. Just do what you did with Dante."

"What tell him it's natural for him to be different, because he isn't a pony? Shining I need some more if I'm going to get Raiden to trust me with Dante it was hard, but Raiden it's just going to take all my big sister instincts just to take away the first layer of distrust he has."

"You were able to find out about Dante's issues, and I'm sure you'll be able to get Raiden to trust you." Cadence smiled and kissed Shining's cheek as he smiled and kissed her back.

There was a knock on the door as Cadence rose and answered the door, as she peered out she saw Raiden looking up to her, his eyes were slightly bloodshot due to all the crying he experienced.

"What's wrong Raiden?" She asked as she kneeled down to his height.

"I'm sorry. I just felt horrible for being a little brat I was just concerned for my friends and I wanted to see them again but then my mom grounded me and I felt betrayed."

"It's okay. You know your mother will always love you just because you do a few mistakes doesn't mean she hates you, trust me I've seen it before and she'll always love you no matter what." Raiden smiled and hugged Cadence as he tried not to cry, but ultimately failed.

"I never had a family like this before and I don't wanna screw it up."

"And you won't just apologize to your mother and everything will be fine." Raiden looked up to Cadence as he wiped his tears

"Can you come with me?"

"Of course." Cadence then held out her hand as Raiden slowly reached out for it and grasped it before walking towards the throne room.

A few minutes later...

Raiden and Cadence approached the two large doors to the throne and gave a solid push revealing that both princesses were finishing a diplomatic meeting between the zebra's empire and Equestrian kingdom.

"Very well it seems our outreach for help has succeed. Ah and one more thing Princess Celestia Princess Helena would like to see Prince Dante she wants to see her old friend from years ago." The zebra noble said with a smile as he began to pack up the paperwork.

"Of course Dante would be happy to see Princess Helena he does happen to enjoy his meet ups with his old friends."

"Very well please inform your son." The noble bowed and took his leave as two guards escorted him out, Cadence and Raiden approached both princesses.

"Aunt Celestia, Aunt Luna Raiden has something he wishes to say to you both, go ahead don't be shy." Cadence said nudging him to say he was sorry.

"Mom. Princess Celestia, I'm sorry for yelling I was just so angry that you grounded me I just wanted to see my friends again and when you said I was grounded I felt that I need to blame someone else and I blamed her, I'm sorry that I blamed you too miss." Luna walked over to Raiden and gave him a hug, for the first time in years Luna had someone to care for to cherish, Raiden finally had someone to take care of him. He knew that these punishments weren't just for him to grow as a colt, but for his mother to grow as a caretaker. Both needed to learn that love will always prevail over any arguments they so happen to have that they'll love each other no matter the circumstances.

"I love you mom."

"I love you too sweetheart." Luna brushed his silver colored mane and continued to care for her young adopted son.

"Déjà Vü huh Aunt Celly." Celestia reached out and hugged Cadence making her giggle as she remembered the same scene from years ago.

Ponyville...

"Eris move your tail." You mumbled as you felt Eris's tail tip tickling your nose, you then felt her tail swish around your face as she began to wrap her tail around your hair.

"Fuck it! I'm not going to be able to sleep anymore." You sighed and rose from bed and peeked out of your window to see that it was relatively early in morning, 4:00 am to be exact as you looked towards your watch.

"Might as well get a head start in the day." You walked towards the shower and began to have a rather enjoyable and warm experience in the shower not that this was your only time of privacy you had all the time in the world to be alone, hell in the castle you dealt with diplomatic meetings due to the children of the kings and queens of other nations growing up you'd attend and work out deals with other nations, some had to be threaten, others were dealt with in courtly manner, though sometimes you'd have to bluff in order to get your way Celestia always thought that it was ineffective and could destroy relationships and treaties with other countries. But it was your way in no point you were a dick, but sometimes you had to pretend to get your way.

You exited the shower and began to dry yourself off and began to put on your clothes as you exited your room you walked down the staircase towards the kitchen you rather not turn on every single light and decided to use your phone as a light source. Buying another was a bit of a hassle and dealing with Vinyl just to get another was much more of the hassle then actually getting it connected. Her party demeanor was something you liked about her, she was laid back and always relaxed but thing was you didn't really thought you had a intimate connection with her, no you had more of a connection with Octavia.

Sure you rarely see her due to her and Lyra practicing for the gala, but every time you did see her she'd invite you to listen in on her musical talent granted those sessions always turned to you being begged by both Lyra and Octavia to play for them, which you did one time and that was the second week you were here. You also had a bit of wine, almost half of the bottle was finished when you mustered up enough courage just to play a short verse of a song you heard before. To this day Octavia's been practicing trying to re-create the song with her cello, but it was a little difficult due to the song being in violin.

"God damn I really need to stop worrying about friends and worry about myself." You mumbled as you reached the exit of the library as you walked towards town square.

"Hey Dante!" You heard someone shout your name you looked up to see Echo in her sexy attire.

"Oh hey Echo what's up?" Echo caught up to you and walked beside you, she smelled of freshly sprayed street art which was kind of annoying especially when you had just woken up.

"Mind if you clean yourself up first then we'll talk it's just a little stomach churning with you smelling like you sprayed yourself with paint."

"Sorry about that, just finished a paint job. Anyway I haven't seen you in days what's up with you?" She asked

"Nothing much just dealing with life that's all. You?"

"Ya know me girls and dreams." Echo smiled and nodded as she stopped and tossed you a small pink root.

"Crush it and put it on your tongue." You shrugged and crushed the root making it into a small pink sprinkles

"Now put on your tongue." You then put a fingertip's amount on your tongue letting dissolve on your tongue, you slowly felt light headed and laid on the ground perfectly still as Echo did the same.

"What's happening? Echo what was that?"

"Magical Sparks, it's from my hidden stash don't you feel relaxed?"

"Yeah...yeah I do, it's weird but I feel good, great even, almost as if no one hassled me to choose between four girls. Ha...ha...ha...mmhmmm." Your eyes slowly closed as Echo grasped your hand, you looked up towards the sky the stars were bright and plentiful. Your eyes slowly closed you felt ultimately relaxed like nothing mattered, that was the way you wanted it for now on.

"Hey Echo give me a few roots, I might need them later." You said as your eyes were already closed.

"Sure I'll send you a few." She said tiredly as you smiled and nodding before entering a rather deep sleep,

A few hours later...

Your eyes opened by the blinding light of the sun your head felt slightly achy as you looked around the area to see yourself on top of town hall, you walked over towards the edge and spotted the town nearly destroyed, you had no idea what happened or how it happened but you did know this, the roots gave you a moment of relaxation you looked into your bag and spotted a brown piece of paper wrapped neatly was the roots and a note from Echo.

A little warning these roots will make you appear in a random place try to be careful when you wanna get yourself on a magical high. ~Echo

"Sexy little vixen." You said with a smile as you placed a dark hole portal on the floor and jumped in appearing near the library and your home, odds are that Twilight was worried sick and you'd get yelled at, but it was all worth it. You were a king for a day and that was all that worth it in the very end. Next Chapter: Past #6 Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 28 Minutes
