I gasped in surprise as I found myself right where I wanted to be, Ponyville. However, my smile turned to a frown as I realised I was actually several feet off the ground and floating.

“Shi-” I was cut off as my face met the ground, hard. I groaned as I lifted my head up. “Why me?” I whined.

“Oh my John! Are you alright?” I turn to see the third great pegasis in my life. “It looks like it hurt!”

I wave my hand in the air. “I'm fine Derpy, though I think my pride hurts a little bit more.”

Derpy smiles. “Well I'm glad your ok.”

“Talking about ok, you seem more chipper than usual.”

Derpy looks away as a blush come to her cheeks.

“I got help, and I quit drinking.”

I give Derpy a hug. “It shows Derpy.” I pull away bopping her on the snout and laughing when her nose scrunches up. “Now I never ever want to hear you drinking again, for any reason apart from fun that is.”

“You won't have to worry about that John, I've learned my lesson.” Derpy replies returning my hug.

“Well miss hooves,” I say standing up to my full height. “I have to get home but I would still like to come by some time and catch up.”

Derpy smiles again. “I would enjoy that John and I know Dinky would too.”

“Maybe we can set something up then? I know your a busy mare so I won't push you.”

“Oh it's fine I have some free time in a few days.”

“Ok I'll see you then Derpy.” I say as Derpy takes off.

“See you John.” Derpy flies away leaving me waving to her.

I dust off my clothes and begin my trek back home, however before I do I put both of my hands to my face and silently scream into my hands. My face felt like somepony had bucked me right in the nose, during my pain filled face rubbing I didn't notice the pony approach me.

“So it hurt did it?” The pony laughs.

I pull away my hands and stare into the gold iris eyes of Lyra.

“A little bit....” Lyra laughs. “Hey! It's not funny! I used all the composure I had to not break down In front of Derpy.”

“Sure you did, that would have been so bad to look hurt.”

“I'm supposed to have an image, crying like a baby in front of Derpy would so have destroyed that.”

Lyra waves a hoof. “Like I said, sure.” Lyra starts to walk away.

“You know you're such a troll!” I shout after her. “Cute butt though.” I whisper.

“What was that?” Lyra asks, looking around.

“Nothing! Nothing at all!” I whistle and head in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres.

I was a few minutes into my journey and was now on the outskirts of town. My ears twitch when I hear the faint sound of giggling, I spot Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walking my way, I look left and right and spot a bush large enough for me to hide in. I watch as the fillies get closer and I catch their conversation.

“She's such a blank flank, I can't believe it's so easy to make her cry.” Diamond says laughing.

“Yeah, 'oh your new brother is so pathetic he can't even fly' that was genius Tiara.” Silver Spoon replies giggling.

I sat with suppressed rage, they had just bullied somepony and they where laughing about it? I had to do something. I looked around and noticed they haven’t spotted my hiding place, I grin like the Cheshire cat and wait for my moment. The fillies get within distance and I jump out shouting...

“I will eat your souls!”

The next few seconds were filled with the glorious sounds of screaming and pounding hooves, it took less than twenty seconds for the two bullies to vanish from my sight. I chuckled and continued on my way.

I was still internally laughing when I came across the sound of a pony crying, seriously why like star trek am I the only thing close enough to investigate? I listen for the sound and close in on the source, it was coming from an area just off the trail I was walking. I knew I was getting close as the crying grew louder, I slowly moved forward and pushed some bushes aside.

“Sweetie Belle?” I say as I spot my little unicorn sister sitting on a tree stump crying her eyes out. “Why are you out here alone?”

“B-Brother...I...I....” I moved forward and put my arms around her. “I'm so sorry brother! I shouldn't be like this!”

“What's wrong?”

“Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, they called you a fraud. They said bad things and I tried to help but they just wouldn't let me speak. I couldn't.....” Sweetie Belle cries into my chest.

I hold Sweetie Belle as she cries out, I narrow my eyes.

“It's ok, I don't think those bullies will be quite the same after today.”

Sweetie Belle pulls away her head and looks up to me. “W-What do you mean?”

I smiled and looked into Sweetie's eyes.

“Before I found you I heard those two giggling about bullying somepony, it hurt me so I played a trick on them and scared them. You should have seen their faces.” I laugh, causing Sweetie Belle to giggle. “So they might think twice before hurting another pony or they might get another visit by the monster.” I tickle Sweetie Belle and growl.

“You are the best brother ever.” Sweetie says hugging me again.

“Right, now that's enough sappy stuff, let's get you home ok?” Sweetie Belle nods, I pick her up and place her on my shoulders. “You ok up there?” I ask.

“Yeah, now mush!” Sweetie gives me a quick tap with her back legs.

“Yes mam!” I state leaving our little hiding spot and heading back to town.

I trudge along happily as Sweetie hums on my shoulders, so though Sweetie's humming stops and I feel her shift.

I look up. “Sweetie Belle? Is something wrong?” I see her look down and point ahead, walking towards me was Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with Diamonds father Mr Rich following behind. “Oh.” Is all I say as the two fillies reach me.

“That's him daddy, that's the one who scared us.” Diamond says pointing to me with a hoof. “Now do something about him!”

I grin as I see Mr Rich's face drop several shades of colour, I quietly stand there waiting for him to speak.

“Daddy! Stop standing there and do something!” Diamond almost screams.

“Yes Mr Rich, do something.” I say, getting all three fillies present to gasp. “Yes, do as your daughter says and punish Princess Luna's champion, it might be funny.” I found this whole situation extremely funny as Mr Rich's mouth kept opening and closing like a fish. I wait a few more seconds before shrugging. “Thought not.”

I walk around Mr Rich and his two filly escorts and continue towards town, I chuckle as I hear Diamond scream several insults at her father, man I feel sorry for him.

After walking into town Sweetie Belle taps my head.

“That was great brother, you showed those bullies.”

“You shouldn't let them get to you little sis, bullies feed on your responses. If you give in to their taunts they'll carry on, just take what they throw at you then keep going. Sooner or later they will give up, trust me on that.” I reach up and scratch Sweeties ears. “Now we're almost to the boutique, let's get you inside.”

A few minutes later we round a house and the boutique comes into view, I smile as I spot several familiar mares standing outside, Luna was one of them. As I got closer I could hear their conversation.

“Ok girls you know the drill split up and see if we can find him.”

“But Twilight what if he teleported far away, he does have a lot of magic. He might not be able to control it.”

“Ah hope he's fine. Ah'm worried, ah wish ah had magic ta find him.”

I decide to gracefully interrupt. “Or you could just follow your nether regions!”

All the ponies turn in my direction and I give them a wave. Seconds later I am mobbed by my family of worried mares, I was surprised to see Luna hold back.

“How did ya survive?”

“I had a teleport surge, I wasn't dying. I ended up in Canterlot and when I regained my bearings I managed to make it back here.” I left out the embarrassing appearance in Celestia's bed chambers. “Now let's get those hugs out of the way shall we!”

I suddenly picked up Applejack and Twilight in my arms, I squeezed both hard before dropping them both. I didn't need to wait for Pinkie as she basically leap into my embrace and squeezed me back. I looked over to Rarity and Fluttershy and grinned.

“Darling you don't have to hug us....run Fluttershy!” Rarity shouts as I lunge at both of them, missing both targets I was met with a more tempting target.

Rainbow meets my gaze and gets down into a battle stance.

“Your move big guy!”

I lunge missing Rainbow but getting Fluttershy who was hiding behind her. I wrap Fluttershy in my arms as she squeaks. I plant a quick kiss on her muzzle.

“Gotcha!” I state. I set Fluttershy down and turn around, I raised my hands as I spot another target. “Oh princess~~” I watch as Luna turns with a smile only for it to drop as I pounce. I hit the ground as Luna teleports away. “You all will be loved!” I bellowed.

Discord laughed as he sat on a cloud hovering over Ponyville, he snapped his fingers and conjured up popcorn. Holding out the popcorn to his left Discord turns to his companion.

“Who's your bet on?” Discord chuckles.

Celestia takes some popcorn and smiles. “Miss Dash has the speed, Luna has magic and Miss Rarity knows some tricks. It's hard to say.” Celestia taps her chin.

“NOT THE FACE!”

Discord and Celestia both laugh as Luna uses small spells to keep John at bay.

I slid down the wall. I was smiling but exhausted. I have been chasing Luna and Rainbow for hours as Rarity had fallen. Luna was crafty and Rainbow was fast but I could see they were as tired as me.
Luna was sitting with Rainbow on a cloud, both were panting heavily. I could see the triumphant looks they both sported as they grinned down, oh they think they have beaten me? Think again!

I stood up, raising up my right hand I pointed at them.

“You think that cloud will save you? I have something to confess, and I think you both might be shocked.” They both laughed. “Ok have it your way.”

I held out both of my arms and slowly brought them together, my hand started to glow as I brought them closer. A small vortex of air appeared before me and got denser and denser as my hands came within closing distance. I stopped moving my arms as the vortex almost resembled a cloud in my hands. I looked up at my two targets and could see the disbelief on their faces.

I pressed the cloud together and stretched it out, I then proceeded to morph the cloud into a flat disc shape. When the cloud was flat with a large diameter of six feet I placed it on the floor and stepped onto it. I put out one hand and raised it up slowly as I did the cloud raised with me on it.

I matched the height of my targets and grinned.

“Surprise!”
