*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

The sound of the alarm clock on your phone woke you up abruptly from your rest. As you groaned and rubbed your eyes a little, your arm rubbed up against Twilight's body, which was going through the stages of waking up as well. You looked over at her with drowsy eyes and saw that she was naked. You almost panicked, but after remembering what happened the night before, your emotions changed.

Along with a sense of relief that there was a reason for her being naked, the unimaginable guilt took over you once you remembered what happened last night. Perhaps said guilt didn't occur to you because of the amount of arousal you felt during the encounter. However, now since all was said and done, butterflies formed in your stomach when you thought about the complications that would soon unfold.

"Ugh..." You sat up in your bed and reached over Twilight to turn off the alarm on your phone.

"What time is it?" Twilight groaned as well, but kept her eyes closed.

"Eight."

You wanted to go ahead and get out of bed, but doing so would involve you climbing over Twilight's naked body; an awkward situation you wanted to avoid at all costs. Instead, you patiently waited for Twilight to get out of bed, looking at some funny pictures on your phone to pass the time.

After what seemed like an eternal awkward situation, you thanked Celestia when she finally rolled out and looked around for clothes to put on. Keeping your face glued to your phone to keep yourself from having to look at her naked body again, you began to mentally go over what the two of you would do today.

As if she was reading your mind, Twilight finally spoke up.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" She said as she pulled on her pair of panties and clipped her bra to her chest.

She seemed to be a little excited and you didn't blame her. The first time you came to Equestria, you were quite stoked as well.

"Well..." You let out a sigh. Your body felt like it didn't get enough rest. "It depends on how much time we have left."

"Hmm... Let's see." Twilight thought aloud as she found her skirt and put it back on. "We spent an hour or so having se-"

You gave her a stern look. The last thing you wanted right now was to be reminded of how unfaithful you were being to Vinyl.

She continued after retracting and biting her lip nervously. "S-sorry... I think we should have about twelve hours left."

"Okay." You thought for a minute or two while Twilight finished getting dressed. Once she was done, you got out of bed and began to do the same.

"How about this. We can go around town and I can pick up some Hearth's presents for everypony, and you can kinda learn more about how things work around here in the process. That sound good?"

"That would knock out two birds with one stone... Okay, deal."

You stretched your achy body once you got some shorts on. There were a couple of *pop*'s that came from your spine that hinted at how little sleep you got.

"But wait... How are we going to go to that many places in only half a day? Are all the stores within walking distance?" Twilight asked as she walked into the bathroom and turned the sink on.

"Oh, I got a car."

Her head poked around the corner and she gave an excited smile. "You have your own car?!"

"Yeah. Uh, well it's not quite paid off yet... But whatever."

"Ooh! This is going to be so exciting!"

She was practically jumping up and down at this point and you couldn't help but feel a little happier because of her mood. After slipping a shirt over your head, you looked in the mirror at yourself to make sure you didn't look like a slob. You didn't look too bad, other than a minor case of bed head which was common among college students, so you didn't bother to fix it. There was a bit of stubble on your chin but it wasn't too bad. It was only noticeable when you rubbed your chin and felt the prickly hair poke your fingers. Finally satisfied with your image, you looked around your dorm for other things you might need for your shopping spree as Twilight finished getting ready in the bathroom.

There were a couple of backpacks underneath your bed that you spotted and you pulled them out. For all the things you were planning on getting, you were certain that you would need at least two large backpacks.

"Oh, do you have enough money to buy all the things you need?" Twilight spoke up from behind the closed bathroom door.

"Yup." You smiled as you pulled your credit card from your wallet and stuck it in your back pocket.

"Okay, good." The door opened and Twilight stepped out with her hair looking a lot nicer than how it was when she entered.

You grabbed your car keys from your desk. "Ready to head out?"

"Uh-huh!" Twilight said with a smile, obviously eager to explore her new world.

"Sweet." You picked up the two backpacks and handed one to Twilight.

"Just how many things are you planning on buying?"

"Uh..." You counted with your fingers. "Something for you, Vinyl, Octavia, A-J, Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Princess Celestia and Luna..."

"Wow..." Twilight gave you a funny expression. "Really covering your bases, aren't you?"

You thought hard, trying to remember everypony. "Derpy... Spike... I think that's it. Oh, what do you think Spike would like?" You asked as you opened the door for Twilight. She slung the backpack you gave her over her shoulder and walked out.

"I usually just get him a new set of parchment and writing tools."

"Oh, okay. I can get him some ballpoint pens. I bet that would help him out a lot with writing letters and stuff."

"Ballpoint pens? What are those?" She asked as you locked the door behind you.

"They're pens, but instead of dipping them in ink, they have a little tube of ink in them..."

Twilight followed you down the stairs as you continued.

"And there's a ball at the very tip. When you write, the ball rotates and constantly puts ink on itself... If that makes sense."

"Wow! That's amazing! Just think about how much ink you'd save by using those!" Twilight exclaimed in her usual excited tone.

"Heheh. Yeah, and I think I know just what to get you as well."

"Oh really? And what might that be?"

You chuckled a little more as you tried to find your car. "I can't just tell you, silly. But we will be visiting the library."

"Eeee! I'm so excited!" Twilight clutched her chest with her arms.

Vinyl laid on her back with her eyes closed on the couch. She would've been listening to the peaceful silence in between the weather outside and the faint ticks of the nearby clock on the wall. Instead, she had her favorite pair of headphones fixed to her head while listening to some chillstep. It wasn't every week that she got Fridays off. Usually, the only reason for the club closing down on a weekend was for weather, and that was the case on this dreary winter afternoon. The howl of the wind faded in and out as gusts slapped against the house, and the snow flurries that were slow and peaceful just the other day were now traveling faster and at a thirty degree angle due to the wind.

It had been about a week and a half since Alex left, and Vinyl was turning into a bit of a recluse. Over the course of the last week, to the surprise of her friends at work, she was beginning to opt out of hanging out with them in order to return home and nap the rest of the day. Of course, she usually came up with an excuse to hide the fact that her days were getting more and more empty and event-less as time went by.

The tiny sounds of the bass thumping in her headphones could be barely heard by Octavia, who was also lying politely on the armchair next to the couch. She had her hooves folded under her politely and on the coffee table before her was an open book and a shallow glass of red wine. The alcohol was beginning to make her doze off a bit, and her eyelids repeatedly closed only to be snapped back open.

With one gulp, she finished off her glass of wine and closed her book, making sure to dog-ear the page where she left off. Letting out a large sigh, she leaned back into the back of the chair and rested her head on the arm rest to prepare for a short nap. She would normally be against taking a nap in the middle of an afternoon, but the weather outside counted as an exception. The dark cloudy skies that hung overhead seemed to make Octavia as drowsy as ever.

Several moments went by and Octavia began counting the ticks coming from the clock to help her fall asleep a bit faster. Her ears gradually relaxed and lowered against her mane.

"Hey, Octy?" Vinyl spoke with her eyes still closed and with the music still playing in her ears.

Octavia's ears perked up quickly. It surprised her since, up to this point, she assumed that Vinyl Scratch was asleep.

"Yes? What is it?"

"Do you think Alex will tell me about it?"

Octavia raised one of her eyebrows in confusion. "About what, dear?"

"About what happened between you and him..."

The grey-furred mare sighed and closed her eyes as she thought.

"Hmm... I can't say for sure, but... I think he will. Alex has proven to be a reliable colt in the past."

"I guess you're right..." Vinyl took her headphones off and curled up into the couch in a position similar to Octavia's.

"But, I suppose you'll find out just how honest he is if he chooses not to."

"Yeah..."

Vinyl picked her head up from the couch and looked out the window. She became a bit disappointed when she saw that the weather was still dreary and decided to catch a quick nap after levitating her headphones off of her neck and onto the coffee table in front of her.

"I hope he does."

"Okay, first stop: The city library."

Your city library was nothing particularly special, but it still was a large building in and of itself. You opened the front glass doors and stepped in with Twilight close behind you. A large lounge section lay in the middle of the large room and several couches and cushioned chairs sat in the middle in a square pattern with a knee-high bookshelf in between them. About half of the ceiling was made of every day ceiling panels, but around the center of the ceiling was a large sunlight window that helped the sun shine bright down onto the innumerable books that lay on their shelves. The shafts of light also helped illuminate the tiny dust particles in the air, giving the room a rustic and traditional feeling.

As expected, it was mostly quiet with the exception of the occasional whisper here and there and the beeping of a nearby copying machine. You looked over and, as you expected, Twilight's excitement simply could not be contained. She was biting her fingernails and she couldn't help but to show a smile that spread wide across her cheeks.

"Just don't go crazy, alright? I'm gonna go pick out the books I need and you can look around in the meantime. Oh, and you'll need this."

You reached into your pocket and handed her a library card with your name on it. It wouldn't really matter since nobody really cared whose name was on them, as long as they had one.

"If you see anything you want, just tell-"

She was already gone. By the time you picked your head up, she had disappeared into the plethora of bookshelves. You chuckled to yourself and decided to let her have her fun. Even though you were a bit anxious about her being found out, you figured that she blended in well enough.

"At least her skin's not purple..." You chuckled again to yourself.

The "Fiction" aisle wasn't very far from the center of the library since it was such a popular section. You walked two aisles to the left and turned to walk down it. To your convenience, the few books that you had in mind would all be in this aisle. Looking to your right, you began with books that started with "R" and worked your way down, dragging your fingers against the spines of the books and descending in letters until you found the "L" section.

"L... L-u... L-o... Here we go." You stopped your finger on the series of books you were looking for: Lord of The Rings.

There wasn't any particular reason why you chose that particular series other than you assumed that Twilight would enjoy something adventurous like this, since she had all of her Daring Doo books. You considered getting a second copy for Rainbow Dash, but you already had something else in mind for her. Besides, Twilight could just lend her the books once she was finished with them. However, just in case, you picked out a second set anyway.

Once you found the books you needed, you stacked them in your arms and concealed them by wrapping your arms around the titles on their spines. Even though Twilight wouldn't know what they were based on the title, you didn't want to take the risk. You made your way back down the aisle from where you came and quickly sneaked to the cashier to buy them with your credit card. Once they were in a bag, they were concealed enough for Twilight not to see.

You came back to the main lobby area where you found Twilight sitting down on a large cushioned chair with about four books open in front of her. As you shook your head with a smile, you approached her. As you got closer, you could see that there was an additional stack of books next to her chair that stacked up to your knees. Meanwhile, she sat there with her face buried in texts with her excitement still written on her face.

"Think you got enough?" You asked sarcastically.

"Huh? You think I should get more?" Twilight obviously didn't get the joke.

"It was sarcasm." You took a seat in the large chair next to hers. "Which one of those do you want?"

"Oooh... Can I only pick one? This book about earth animals is so intriguing... And-" She closed one book and picked up another. "This one about world history... I could spend days finding so much valuable information!" Her voice was getting a little loud for library standards, so you held a finger to your lips and she shut hers quickly with an embarrassed smile.

"You can pick as many as you want, but just remember that you'll have to carry them all the way back."

"Oh. Well that'll be-"

"Without magic" You smirked, glad that Twilight was finally able to taste how it was like to live without magic.

"Hmm..." She scanned over the stack of books and inspected each one, weighing each one on their importance.

After a few moments, she picked out three books from the stack. A sense of unease was clearly able to be seen on her face, presumably since she really wanted to get them all.

"Don't worry, it isn't like this is the last time we'll be coming here."

Twilight groaned and got back on her feet, taking the books in her arms. "I suppose."

Five hours later...

"So where are we headed now?" Twilight asked after you reminded her to put on her seat belt. The last thing you wanted was an accident involving a princess of Equestria.

"Well I think I've covered just about everybod- I mean, everypony." You counted off the names in your head. "Is there any place you wanted to visit before we head back?"

"Head back? Already?" Twilight checked the watch that you let her borrow. "But we still have the whole day left!"

You sighed. "I know... I just don't want to keep Vinyl waiting. If what you said was true about how time is different, she's probably been waiting for a month."

Twilight winced as if in pain. "Ooh, yeah. You're right. You're not going to have a happy partner when you come back, I think." She tried to giggle a little to alleviate the stress that you were obviously feeling, but it didn't work and you sat there worrying about how much you made Vinyl wait until now.

Twilight put a hand on your shoulder. "Don't worry, Alex. She's fine, I'm sure. We can head back if you want to."

The loyalty and understanding from Twilight lifted your spirits a little. "Thanks, Twi."

Again, Twilight's head went right back to staring out the window and observing the world around her. You didn't quite blame her for being so curious even though she had already been here once before. To be honest, you never really expected this trip to be that exciting since you thought that the entirety of the trip would involve you explaining every single thing to Twilight. Twilight didn't seem to do that too often, though. Instead, she seemed as if she was trying to figure it out by herself; it was something you were very appreciative of.

You turned off of the highway and onto the road leading to your dorm room, thankful that your long shopping spree was finally at an end. Your body was already beginning to feel achy from standing up and walking around stores for the past several hours. You were sure that Twilight was feeling the same way despite her eagerness to explore. After seeing a wide yawn come from her, your suspicions were confirmed.

"Although..." You tapped your thumb against the steering wheel as you thought.

"Yeah?"

"It would probably be best to wait until night before we try to go back through the portal again. It would be kinda risky trying to go back in broad daylight with all the people around."

"Hmm... I suppose you're right. But what are we going to do until then?" Twilight raised an eyebrow at you.

You could do some extra shopping even though you had everything you needed for everypony. However, as you looked back at the couple of bloated back packs in the back seat, you decided it wasn't that necessary. Princess Celestia didn't say not to bring anything back, but it would be a bad idea to exploit the privilege that she gave you in the first place.

Twilight interrupted your thought. "So do you have Hearth's Warming Eve too?"

"Well, yeah. We call it 'Christmas', though."

"Christmas? That's an odd name... How did it come about?"

You sighed and tried to give the most diplomatic answer possible. "A lot of people celebrate it because of a religion, but it's not universally known to come from one specific origin. So, long story short, everyone celebrates it in different ways."

"I see. What kind of things do you do for... 'Christmas'?"

You hesitated answering so you could concentrate on getting out of the way of a reckless driver who was on your bumper for the last few minutes.

"Usually, we put up a Christmas tree in our houses and have parties and stuff. People go around to neighbors' houses and sing for them, and a lot of people go visit relatives from far away."

"Oh wow! That sounds fun!"

"Yeah. It's pretty nice. And also, there's a belief that this guy called 'Santa Claus' goes around on a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer and delivers presents to everyone around the world."

Twilight's cheeks puffed a little before she busted out laughing. The idea seemed a little silly to you too, but you were used to it at this point.

"That's absolutely ridiculous! Does anyone actually believe that?!"

"Well, a lot of people don't believe it. Most figure out that it's really their parents sneaking downstairs and putting presents under their trees. I never really believed in it, but some people still do."

Twilight's chuckles finally calmed down. "Geez. You ponies- I mean, people have some pretty silly traditions."

You laughed a little. "You don't know the half of it."

You finally turned into your dorm parking lot and, thankfully, you were able to find a spot relatively close to the building.

"Oh, I know what you can do while we wait." You shifted the stick into park and took out the keys.

"What's that?"

You got out and went around the front of the car to open the door for her. She seemed to struggle with the seat belt for a bit even though you had shown her how it worked several times that day.

"Oh, thanks."

You returned her gratitude with a smile and continued. "Have you heard of the internet before?"

"Ya got any more of that wine?" Vinyl called out from the couch after downing her fourth glass of wine.

"Vinyl Scratch! That is your fourth glass!" Octavia scolded her from the kitchen behind her with a motherly tone.

"Pfft... This is nothin."

Even though Octavia believed her, since she had seen her drink an entire bar dry before, she was still worried. Even though she wasn't shy of alcohol, Vinyl never touched wine. Every time Octavia offered it to her, Vinyl always turned it down. It was obvious that Vinyl was getting desperate in order to deal with being away from Alex so long.

She was able to nurse Vinyl up until this point, but after her recent behavior, she decided to draw the line. Octavia trotted into the living room with a bossy vigor in her step and took the wine glass away from Vinyl.

"H-hey! What gives?"

After a taking a deep breath to try and calm herself, she turned around and gave Vinyl a stern gaze.

"You have been sulking around the house for an entire month, Vinyl! If you don't go outside and do something productive... I don't know what I'm going to do with you."

"Productive? I've been going to work every night!"

Octavia hesitated. "T-true, but all you do besides that is sit here and drown yourself in liquor, and I've had just about enough of it. Look." She trotted over and pulled the blinds up on the window nearby, shedding a bright ray of light directly onto Vinyl who shielded her eyes from it.

"It's a beautiful day outside. Go out and do something before you turn into an emotional wreck!"

Vinyl squinted as she looked outside. Even though there were a couple inches of snow on the ground, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. Her head spun a little from the alcohol when she rose and sat up. She was obviously not in the condition to go run around outside, but even so, Octavia wanted to get her point across.

Octavia picked up her cello and, with a sigh of frustration, opened the door to leave for rehearsal which was pushed back to mid afternoon due to several no-shows. Vinyl expected her to turn around and say something snappy so that she would have the final word, but to her surprise, her eyes stayed straight forward until the door shut behind her.

Once she left, Vinyl groaned and fell back onto the couch. She wasn't used to any kind of alcohol that wasn't hard liquor, so the buzz that came from the wine she drank was just now starting to catch up to her. It made her feel a bit drained and dizzy and soon after her room mate left, she was beginning to regret drinking all four glasses of it. Going outside was definitely out of the question. The only option there really was for her was to just sleep it off until she felt normal again.

It made her feel a bit guilty that she was resorting to over drinking on a week day mid-afternoon in order for her to forget about Alex. She knew that she wasn't handling it well and she knew that drinking wouldn't help her problem. Most of all, she knew that being so dramatic after only a few weeks of Alex being gone was uncalled for, even for somepony who drank on a regular basis.

She had never been to the world that Alex talked about so much, and she had no idea what kind of danger he could get into. For all she knew, there could be terrifying monsters all over the place and Alex was at their complete mercy. Her sadness over Alex being gone was slowly turning into frustration and anger at him for making her the way she was now, even though he wasn't the only one to blame.

Groaning again, she pulled a pillow close to her and slid it under her head. A walk outside might help. At least it was better than sitting around drunk at home all day. She could remember overhearing one of Twilight's lectures to one of her friends saying that walking outside on a bright sunny day released endorphins that helped lighten ponies' moods.

Whether it was true or not, she wasn't going anywhere until the wine wore off.

"Whoa..."

"Cool, right?" You looked over Twilight's shoulder as she sat at your PC and typed random items into a popular search engine.

"Cool? There's so much information on here! It's like... Everything you could possibly think of!"

"Yup. What we lack in magic, we make up for in technology. I guess..."

Twilight remained seated at the computer and kept typing in words and phrases that came to mind. No matter what she typed, whether it be the history of the war of 1812 or a recipe for fried chicken, there wasn't a single thing that she could think of that the search engine couldn't find information about.

"Just think if we had something like this in Equestria..." Twilight's face glowed bright from the computer monitor's light as she leaned in and read more.

You yawned and, by whatever nature caused the phenomenon to happen, she yawned as well shortly after. She had been at the computer for hours and she sat so close to the screen that you were beginning to worry about her hurting her eyesight. You rubbed your eyes drowsily, but a shot of adrenaline went through your veins after you looked at the tiny analog clock at the bottom right hand corner of the monitor.

It was already 7:30pm. You and Twilight agreed to make it back home well before that time, but you couldn't quite blame her for losing track of time because of your computer.

"Oh shit, it's almost eight!" You rushed to your bed and made sure the two backpacks you had were zipped up and secure. Twilight quickly closed out the window that she had open on your computer and got up from the office chair, making it spin a few times from her hastiness.

You heard her take a deep breath. Even though you had your back to her, you could guess that she was doing the familiar hand motion that went with Cadence's stress relief technique.

"It's okay, we still have plenty of time to get back. Do you have everything ready?"

"Yeah. I think so." You threw one of the fully loaded back packs over your back and gave the other one to Twilight before she did the same.

You took one or two seconds to power down your computer so that it wouldn't start a fire from being left on for whatever amount of time you would be gone for. The whirring of your PC eventually calmed down and shortly went silent as the monitor turned black.

"Okay, lets go." Twilight opened the door for you and you turned out the lights to your room before walking past her and exiting. She took a hesitant moment to look over your dark room one more time before closing the door.

"So how did you like the trip?" You asked as you walked down the empty dorm hallway to pass the time until the two of you got to the portal.

"Oh, it was fantastic! This was almost better than my first trip!"

Considering all the things that happened when Twilight first made it to the human world, you couldn't help but to feel a little flattered knowing that you were able to show her a good time.

"I'm glad to hear." You replied with a humble smile as you opened another door for her and the two of you exited the dorm complex.

The night air was a little chillier than you were expecting since it was apparently still fall here. A small shiver went up your spine and you rubbed your hands on your upper arms to generate a bit of heat.

"Must've had a cold front come in..." You began to walk a little faster which alleviated your chills a little.

"Cold front? What's that?"

"Um... It's a long story. Remind me to explain it later." You chuckled a bit to cover up for the fact that you didn't fully understand how cold and warm fronts worked in their entirety.

The night was quite peaceful. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky and the moon, almost full, glowed bright in the sky and illuminated the two of you as you crossed the long grass field towards the set of classroom buildings. The occasional cicada chirped in the background to further intensify the feeling of a quiet night. The only other sound that was being made the crunching of grass beneath your feet.

"Alex... I'm sorry if I came in between you and Vinyl."

Your heart jumped a bit once the weight of the sudden topic hit you. You stuttered a bit to try and form a sentence.

"Oh... I, It's fine." A few seconds of awkward silence lingered and you decided to try to lighten the mod a little. "But we do need to find you another stallion, don't we?" You teased and nudged her shoulder as the two of you walked.

After hearing her giggle embarrassingly, you knew that something you did had worked.

"I suppose. But like I said yesterday, it'll be a difficult challenge..."

You thought about the dilemma again for a few seconds before giving up. "I'll help you think of something."

"Thanks..." Twilight had a gentle smile on her face, but it soon faded.

"You're going to have to tell Vinyl what happened, aren't you?"

You sighed heavily and put your hands in your pockets as the two of you crossed the large field of grass and began to walk on the parking lot asphalt. The theater building wasn't too far away.

"Yeah. I can't keep hiding this from her. I'd rather her find out from me telling her than her find out some other way."

"Right..."

Twilight didn't look the slightest bit happy, and you could tell why. She had let her guard down and allowed her lust to take control of her. In addition, it made her come between your relationship. You would've felt bad if you were in her situation as well. Granted, you felt bad anyway because you were going to be taking the brunt of Vinyl's scorn.

"Twilight, I can understand why you did what you did. And even though I think you could've handled it a little better, I don't think any less of you."

That apparently did the job. Twilight put her hands on the straps of the backpack she was carrying and smiled yet again as you wrapped an arm around her and hugged her a bit to show your support as the two of you walked. It wasn't out of affection or anything. But you wanted to do something to let her know that she was still your friend.

"Thanks, Alex. That means a lot." She paused and appeared to be in deep thought for a few moments as you could barely see the theater building in the distance. "I can see why Vinyl likes you so much..."

Your cheeks reddened a little and you gave a short "Thanks".

"Hey, isn't that the theater building? Come on, Alex, we're almost the-"

"A cute couple taking a night walk. How nice."

A sudden unfamiliar voice called out from around a corner to your left, and you turned to see the shadow of a group of three to four guys walking towards you. An intense feeling of unease shot through you and gave you butterflies. It wasn't common to run into gangs around here, but as the group of guys got closer to you and the moonlight lit the expressions on their face, you could tell that they weren't up to anything holy. Instinctively, you took Twilight's wrist with a tight grip due to your nervousness and pulled her behind you.

"Can I help you?" You asked with a stern yet somewhat polite tone.

They chuckled a little with smiles on their faces that had an evil look to them. A couple of them looked over to each other.

"Yeah, you can help us by letting us borrow your girl for a while."

The larger guy in front snickered and licked his lips mockingly at Twilight. The fear inside you was beginning to boil into anger, not only because of what you knew they had in mind, but because they were planning to do it to your princess. You supposed that it was only appropriate to call Twilight as such since she was a princess after all and you lived in Equestria. Because of your hesitation, the man, who was about twenty or twenty one years old, stepped forward and got closer to your face.

"You got a problem with that, bud?" He said with that unsettling smile.

You felt all the nervousness and anger in the world and it was all you could do not to deck the guy right there. However, you wanted to not do anything rash in front of Twilight so you wouldn't make a bad impression.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you do that."

"Oh really now? And what'cha gonna do about it faggot?"

You sat there boiling in anger for a few seconds, your hands clenched into fists. If it were one on one, you could probably take him on since you had a little jiu-jitsu training four or five years ago. Even though it had been a long time since you sparred, your mind still had a couple of moves laying around in there somewhere. There were three of them, though. Even if you were able to take on one of them, it would be very easy for another guy to cheap shot you from behind.

"Huh?!" The mouthy guy pushed you hard.

The second he touched you, all your inhibitions broke away. Whether it was a protection instinct that was making you protect Twilight or just anger from being called a faggot, what was certain was that you weren't going to let this guy push the two of you around anymore.

As you fell backwards, you set a foot back and gained a wide stance before shifting your weight forward and wrapping your right arm around his chest. You had to do it quickly since the second you made a move, you knew that the other two guys would be on top of you. Tightening your grip on his mid chest with the length of your arm, you moved your right leg behind him. You set your hip against his ass as a fulcrum and pulled his chest forward. It wasn't long until his entire body was suspended on top of you and was in your complete control. Finally, in the last step of the jiu jitsu hip flip that you somehow managed to remember in the heat of the moment, you pulled him over you and threw him onto the concrete. His body landed with a hard *thud* and you threw in an elbow to his gut for good measure to make sure he wouldn't be able to immediately get up.

"Run!" Twilight shouted from behind you.

You looked up expecting to see a fist from one of the other guys flying at your face, but instead, you saw the two men with their pants and underwear completely pulled down and their hands behind their backs. You had no idea how it happened, but you weren't going to stick around and ask questions. You got back up on your feet quickly and booked it, feeling the wind whirring by your face as you followed Twilight towards the theater building which was about a hundred meters away.

"What the fuck?!" The group of wannabe gangsters yelled out behind you with a surprised and frustrated voice.

The somewhat disturbing image of the two guys' dicks still lingered in your mind and as you ran, you couldn't help but to laugh at the thrill of the situation and also, how small their equipment was. A crayon was a generous comparison.

The speed in which you were going was so fast that the two of you reached the back of the theater building within a minute. Twilight quickly took a doorknob identical to the one that Princess Luna had and held it out in front of her. The familiar light glowed from it and the dark blue door showed itself yet again.

"Go, go, go!" You called out, somewhat laughing in between.

Twilight opened the door and grabbed you by your wrist, pulling you in.

Your feet lifted from the ground and soon, you were flying through the blinding white portal at high speeds. You closed your eyes and stared at the dark red light that filtered through your eyelids, preparing yourself for a not-so-polite meeting involving the tile floor of the main castle hall and your face.
