Lance, Anna, Twilight, and Rainbow were heading to Sugar Cube Corner. Many ponies gawked at the strange, two-legged creatures, this big hunk of metal, and another two-legged hunk of wood following them. Along with them was a sentient bush who somehow had eyes. The unicorn and pegasus were walking alongside the Mighty Oak, careful to avoid the Valkyrie tank.

The door to the shop--which looked like it was made of gingerbread--was suddenly flung open as a pink pony with a poofy mane suddenly hopped around the humans like no tomorrow.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! I will throw you all sorts of parties!" Said the pink pony. "It will be a super-duper-fun awesome-all-over party!"

I want to die.. Ran over and over in Lance's head. Two more voices saying the same thing followed and made those four words sound like fucking sheet music! If he wasn't already insane, he would have lost his sanity right then and there.

I think Lancey boy wants to whip his flare back and forth... HA! Anna thought as she smothered a giggle. Her hands covered her mouth and she found it cute.

I heard that... Lance thought as he glared at Anna while the voices continued. His red eyes narrowed very low.

Dammit. Anna thought, realizing she and Lance developed some freak telepathy between themselves. Her expression went from happy to down-right glaring at him suspiciously.

Only when Pinkie tackled Lance was everyone broken out of their dumbfounded stupor.

And Lance once again became the laughing stock.

Let's skip time to just after the party. Lance, much to his humiliation, was wed to Anna. That's right, he was married against his will. Back home, it'd be considered pedophilia. They were back at the library and everyone was still mocking the poor Nazi. Even Spike joined in and threw questions along the lines of 'why would she marry a jerk like you?'

The worst day ever if you asked him. He wouldn't touch Anna at all. Hell, he regretted hitting on Natalie all those times now. Yes, the mock wedding made him regret being a pervert. He sat there on the couch with his head and arms hanging low as everyone jested. In fact, he would've cried but that would only add to his torment. In short, he had to man up and tough it out.

The next day, he fared no better. He was still being picked on with more profanities added. At least, until a few timberwolves showed up and started chasing after the ponies. Lance and Anna saw four of the wooden beasts and immediately attacked them. Had they not done so, they would've hurt a pegasus filly who had an orange pelt and magenta mane.

"Stay back! We'll take care of the brutes!" Lance yelled to the filly as he drew his sword, who nodded and immediately ran to Rainbow Dash.

"What are these things?!" Anna shrieked as she hit one in the eye with an arrow. The beast howled in pain and fell to the ground. A second suddenly jumped for her with claws extended, only to be sent flying into a building by the Mighty Oak's drill (which served as a hand, mind you). The drill whirred onto the beast, sending chunks of wood and twigs flying in all sorts of directions. The drill was retracted like a whip to not damage the building it landed on any further. The remaining wolves were whimpering and found themselves stuck to the ground in a net thrown by Lance.

With the top gun of the Valkyrie aimed right at them.

It fired, and in that instant more wood and twigs were sent scattered about. In the place of the beasts lay a scorch mark where they were trapped. The ponies rushed to the humans and greeted them and said thank you.

Most also apologized to Lance, which he accepted with a smile on his face.

The filly ran to Lance and hugged his leg.

"Thanks for saving me, mister!" She said with tears streaming down her face.

Lance gingerly picked up the filly and held her to his chest. He than saluted everyone else in the area with another warm smile.

He, Anna, the Mighty Oak, the Valkyrie, and the sentient bush went back to the library. Lance had relearned Bind (the net he threw) and Snipe while Anna relearned Piercing Shot and Ivy, a spell that used poison vines to stab an enemy. It was decided that they would make Ponyville their base until Natalie and Matt were found.

"Mister," Said the filly whom Rainbow Dash identified to be Scootaloo, "why was everypony making fun of you?"

"Long story, Anna started it." Lance replied, giving Anna the middle finger and casting a cold glare at her. Hell, he wanted to wreck her shit with Oblivion.

"I thought you hated me, Lance. Your finger says you want me now." Complained the archer in a mocking tone of voice.

Lance was mortified. He put his hand down.

"Can you Bind me, Nazi-man?" Anna caterwauled with a few giggles.

'Welp, I done fucked up.' Lance thought. 'How am I gonna get outta this mess?'

"Anna, give him a break. I know, it's still kinda funny when you think about the events yesterday, but please let him be for a while." Twilight said, picking up the archer with her magic.

Lance covered Scootaloo's purple eyes with his hat, and he himself looked away.

"Okay, okay. Can you put me down? I don't want a stallion looking through the window and up my dress where my goodies can be seen." Anna complained, fumbling with the dress in a vain attempt to keep it from flying past her waistline. One bit she'd pull down only to find the remaining edges yanked upwards by Twilight's reverse gravitational hax.

Twilight put Anna down and sighed. These two humans, as they called themselves, were gonna be a handful.
