The wolves followed us throughout the whole forest, keeping close, but not too close as as we made our way back to 'Sugar Cube Corner.' The long walk was uneventful and soothing after the debacle with the wolves... it helped sooth Luna's already tormented mind... everything she has gone through in the last day would put anyone off their rocker, be they pony or human... or anything in between and otherwise.

The town soon appeared through the underbrush of the forest as we came closer and closer to its edge. That's when I felt a disturbance in the wolves force aura's... making me go on edge instantly, same thing for Luna, just seconds later. As we stood there, Not much we could do being surrounded and all, the wolves morphed out of the bushes, moving almost as fast as I when using the force. They surrounded us, but the unusual thing was this... they had their backs to us and were growling at the surrounding bushes and trees, almost as if they expected something to attack.

After several moments of tense silence, broken only by the low growls of the wolves, the wolves loosened up, relaxing slightly after what ever it was had left. What I was then led to believe was the pack leader looked at me and nudged its head towards PonyVille. Luna and I gave each other a confused look, I just shrugged and started walking, keeping myself open to the force should things degrade... Luna just got closer to my side and was just about glued to my leg during our short walk to the edge of town.

Once there I was lucky to see that none of the equines were about, for they would surly scream and cause havoc for me and my erstwhile companions. I bade the wolves a salute, using the force and my hand to dismiss them back to their home... Their enthusiasm to stay was... less than welcome, and frankly surprising as all hell! Though in the end they did leave, giving slight whimpers as they did so.

Luna and I made it to 'Sugar Cube Corner' and found that there were a few Ponies still in attendance, mostly the fist six and a few others that I din't recognize. Upon knocking on the door we were set upon by Pinkie and, for some reason, Fluttershy.

"Where have you two been!" They both asked, Fluttershy was worried while Pinkie was indignant, glaring at me for being late to my own party... Oops...

"Sorry, we got into a little trouble in the forest..." I laughed nervously, rubbing the back of my neck. Luna just shuddered and leaned into my leg.

"YOU WHAT!" All the ponies there cried out.

"Why would you go to such a dreadful place deary! It's filled with monsters, its just not a natural place dear!" Rarity shrieked from her booth, she was on the far side of the room along with a purple unicorn and a small Trandohsan looking purple reptile... The rest were scattered about the room.

"Ya pardner, why would ya go in ta such ah place an the first place?" Applejack asked from the stairs. She must have used the freshers for something, she looked highly irritated with me none the less.

"Yeah, what gives!" Pinkie asked, still miffed about the whole thing "You even took the filly in there with you!?" Pinkie pointed an accusing hoof at me while saying this, making me get slightly irritated with her as well.

"Yes, I took MY DAUGHTER!" my voice cracked, reverting to how I was in a darker time in my life, "HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU COULDN'T TRUST ANY OF THE BEINGS AROUND YOU! I HAVE NO ONE TO TRUST, YOU ALL HAVE SCORNED ME, SAVE FOR A FEW!" I jerked my head towards Rarity and the two purple beings shaking next to her, Rarity wasn't as shaken as the others, we had already had a short argument where this had happened, granted it was in her head, but still.

"Now," everypony had moved away, save Luna, and were shaking in their shoes. "I won't go into detail as to what happened... But thanks to your Princess WE," motioning to myself and Luna, "Almost got killed because of her stupidity!" They all gawked at me like I had grown a second head, or at least that's what I thought till Rarity pointed a shaky hoof behind me. I sighed, and asked the obvious question, just 'cause I could.

"She's right behind me isn't she..." They all nodded, Luna dived for the counter, knowing how I felt right now thanks to the force. I turned to the large white equine behind me a deadpan look on my face, not giving any of my emotions away.

"Ryan... What is this I hear about you taking my sister to the EverFree Forest?" She gave me a withering glare, her anger barely contained.

"I needed to go grab a few things... and none of these good ponies here," I motioned to the beings in the room, "Save Miss Rarity and POSSIBLY Miss Purple unicorn over there," I turn to her before continuing, "Sorry for not knowing your name yet, kind of a busy day, I promise to find out later okay?" she nodded absentmindedly as she gawked at me arguing with the princess. "As I was saying, I don't trust them as far as I can throw them, and that's pretty kriffing far..." My anger was starting to leak through to my words as our little 'conversation' continued.

"But... You still... Took MY sister, the Princess of the night and co-ruler of Equestria, into a dangerous place... not knowing what you would find?!" She was livid, her mask slipped almost fully, revealing a very Irate Celestia, whom, by the way, was ready to rip my head off.

"AND YOU VERY NEARLY KILLED US!" I amplified my voice, physically blasting her into the floor with the volume, the looks of astonishment and fear that rang across the other ponies did nothing to hamper my actions.

"H-how so..." she asked, barely getting up off the floor after the deafening yell.

"YOU! You took MY lightsaber! The only instrument in the entire UNIVERSE I EVEN CARE ABOUT!" My voice was raised, but nothing like it was before. Everyone else had dived behind the counter after I had used my force yell the first time, not wanting to be deafened by our argument.

"How is me taking this thing," she floated my lightsaber from under her wings and presented it out in front of herself. "It doesn't do anything!" She huffed madly.

"Give me that!" I plucked it out of the air and let its weight rest in my hand for a few moment before stepping outside.

"Get back here Ryan! I'm not done with you!" Celestia barked, following me outside, everyone else went up to the windows and huddled around to see what I was going to do.

"This, thing, as you so eloquently put it, is a weapon, your majesty! If you had some how activated this while it was pointed at you," I depressed the thumb button and a dark purple blade shot forth from the black and red saber hilt, burning a small hole in the ground instantly. "This country would be without a leader right now!" To prove my point, and to release some frustrations, I jumped towards one of the nearby trees and landed less three feet away. "An example, if you will..." I made a quick downward slash, cutting the tree effectively right in half from branch to root in a sharp diagonal line. At first nothing happened, the tree still staying where it was till I turned off my sword and Luna broke the silence.

"Um... daddy..." Celestia went wide eyed and gave me a glare that could have broke the sun if she turned it on it.

"Yes Hun?" I smiled as she trotted up to me, jumping right into my arms, keeping my mind far from Celestia's ferocious glare.

"What did you do to the tree?" I turned us around and looked at it, "I cut it in half Luna..." right as I said that it fell over, well half of it did, stunning all the ponies watching, including the princess.

I turned around and gave her a massive smirk, one that Luna, for some reason, shared. "Now do you believe me Celly?"

"She just stood their wide eyed and looked from my hilt to the tree and back again several times.

"I think you broke her daddy..." Luna giggled and I joined in, soon we broke out into full blown laughter and headed back inside, if not to get the party underway then to get something to eat.... it had been a long day.

Author's Notes:

By the force... Did all that really just happen? I mean really... By the Holy Stars! Even the wolves have come to like me! ...This place gets weirder every damn day... Ryan Reiks out.

(Author: Well, it seems Ryan made friends with the wolves... Hmm... Jedi were always close with nature... but i think this goes a little far... We will just have to see where this goes, and maybe figure out what exactly caused the wolves to protect Ryan AND Luna... Interesting...)

(Author again here, Since I have not mention which culture Ryan is apart of... I would like to make a few suggestions that you all can vote on, If I don't get a sizable amount of votes from you guys I will be choosing one myself... Okay? Just thought i'd give you all the chance :D)
