For the Love of Nyx and Night

DJ sat there with the laptop on his...well lap completely silent, just watching the others react to their most recent adventure playing out right in front of them. He just kept thinking that once this was over, Rainbow and Applejack were going to pound the crap out of him and accuse DJ of being a spy. DJ then heard the credits begin to roll and closed the laptop. There was quite the silence for a few minutes. No one would have been able to read those faces; even Celestia's was completely blank. So he broke the ice. "Well, what did you think?" Smooth DJ. Real smooth. Another awkward silence. More stares. "Okay, you girls are starting to freak me out here. I expected anger and sadness. Not complete and total blanks. Somepony say something!" he practically yells.

Twilight was the first to speak. "What is there to say? You have been spying on us for all this time. Why?"

Then he got an expected reaction. Rainbow suddenly flew right into his face. "Yeah what gives? How did you get that movie of us? ARE YOU A SPY?"

SHE SAID IT! And DJ just couldn't resist what happened next. "Am I spy? AM I SPY?! What if you’re the spy?" That stopped her, but he kept going. "Maybe you’re not even the real Rainbow Dash! Maybe you’re a sleeper clone sent here to destroy the Elements and the Princesses from the inside!" Her eyes began to glaze over at what he had just said. To finish it all, DJ grabbed her and started shaking and screaming at her. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL RAINBOW DASH!?" DJ then let her go and she fell to the floor with a 'thump.' She started stammering, completely glazed at everything that just happened. He couldn't hold back the laughter! DJ fell on his back and just let out all the laughs that he built up. That look of hers was just priceless! "HAHAHAHAHAHAH! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash! I just couldn't resist! AHAHA! Woo, that was just awesome!" That broke her out her trance and she got MAD! Thankfully, Twilight grabbed her tail before she really build up any speed. Thank you Twilight, I think you just saved my life!

"Now before any of you try to kill me again, let me say, that I did not record and/or make this. In my world your lives have been recorded, no idea how by the way, on a television show known as 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' which is like a radio show with moving pictures. So basically a mini movie." At first there were blank stares, but once DJ explained he got a few looks of understanding. "I understand that you must feel violated, but it is not like it is completely invasive as the show only features stuff that is important to story and everything else is just cut or never existed in my world in the first place. And to be fair the show is extremely popular." That got some stares.

Rainbow said something first. "How popular?"

"You six and a few others are known world-wide where I come from. And Rainbow? Even those who know nothing about the show know who you are. You are pretty much the most popular character to come out of the series. Second, probably being Twilight since she is the star of the show." Rainbow lit up at the revelation that she was known world-wide! Twilight was a little embarrassed at being the star.

"How many p-people are on your world?" Twilight asked nervously.

"There are over seven billion humans on my world, a few million or so more than that actually. But since the show is only shown in a few places, I doubt that fan base even reaches one billion. Still, that millions of 'bronies' and 'pegasisters'. That is what the fans like to be called anyways. I don't like being called that, though. Nothin’ personal, just sounds weird out loud, ya know? I still have a great respect for all of you, though. Now before any of you freak out anymore, no you are probably not being watched. It possible that visions of your world have been seen by humans in my world. Probably like a dream or something. Who knows?" DJ shrugs for emphasis.

Celestia seemed to accept this answer to her unasked questions. "I thank you for putting those fears to rest, but the matter remains on what you plan on doing now that you are here in Equestria. Where did you--"

Her question was suddenly interrupted by a little, black filly entering through the front door of the library. She was talking as she entered. "Mom! I'm home from school! After my homework, can I go crusading with...my...friends?" Her talking slowed as she noticed the human on the table. DJ noticed her in return and his eyes went wide with recognition. IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?!

"Oh, hi Nyx. I think that would be fine, but why don't you come meet our guest? He is a human and his name is DJ. He just got here a little while ago and he at least seems friendly." DJ’s face was blank.

"A human? You mean like those creatures you were with when your crown was stolen?"

"Exactly! But he seems to be from a different human world. DJ allow me to introduce my daughter Nyx."

DJ responded as intelligently as possible. "Homina, Homina, Homina, Homina,..."

"Uh, hi Mr. DJ. Nice to meet you," she said, not very sure about this strange creature that was muttering in her home.

At that, DJ’s mind and body finally got in sync. So he shouted, "LUNGING TACKLE," doing so as he yelled. DJ grabbed her as he lunged from the table. She screamed as he 'attacked' and the others gasped. DJ then brought her out in front him, holding her in the air.

"DON"T EAT ME!!! THE MONSTER IS GONNA EAT ME AND GRIND MY BONES!!"

That stopped him. "Now that is just stereotyping! Not every monster grinds bones, ya know," he said with mock offense.

"They d-don't?" she asked through her fear-filled voice.

"Nope,” he replies with a smile. “Sometimes we just swallow the kids whole!" DJ says matter of factly. That freaked her out! She started to squirm until she realized that it was futile. She really is a smart filly. And cue the scream.

"HELP! HELP! MOMMY HELP! THE MONSTER'S GONNA EAT MEEEEE!"

DJ flinched at her scream. But then he smiled at her and said, "Now why in all that is good and awesome in this world, would I eat the best little filly ever?"

That stopped her immediately, her eyes going wide. "W-what? You think I am the best?" she asked completely shocked out her mind. Had DJ turned around, he would have noticed that Twilight has the exact same expression on her face. Not even she could comprehend what he had just said. Then again, who could blame her? No one truly understands me; too unpredictable!

"Well of course. You are Nyx, the adopted daughter of Twilight and the reformed reincarnation of Nightmare Moon. You have been through pain and heartbreak that is not meant for anyone, especially somepony at your age. You been on your own, scared out of your mind, abandoned, and used. But here you are! Still living your life to the fullest. You still remember the things you did as Nightmare Moon, but that is not who you are and you never let it change the real you. Nyx, because of all that is why I say you are the best. You are my favorite pony after all," DJ said, that last bit with his most comforting smile. Nyx’s eyes started to water a little bit after he was done talking about her. That some creature she had never met, let alone ever heard of, considered her as his favorite pony. Whatever that meant, but it felt nice to hear, she thinks to herself.

Twilight approached him from behind, wonder in her eyes about how much this strange being knew about her daughter. "How did you know all that? I didn't even see Nyx in that thing you showed us."

"That is because where I come from, Nyx is not a part of the TV show, but is a famous character from the stories written by fans of the show. Her origin is in the famous story ‘Past Sins’ and I think I actually have a copy of the book with me." DJ put Nyx down gently and went to his large duffle bag. He pulled out the book in question, still in very good condition even after all the times he’s read the story. DJ handed it to her and said, "This is it. It details everything from your kidnapping and on. I have actually read it several times and there are still parts that tug at my heart. Like this little piece right here." He takes the book back and opens to a particular chapter of the book and begins to read aloud. While DJ was reading, Twilight was remembering everything in detail. MOMMY!!......NYX!!!!, she hears these shouts firmly in her memories as DJ reads. He finished reading with a small tear in his eye, Twilight's eyes were beginning to water heavily as well.

She noticed his tear and asked, "Are you crying?" There is a clear sly smile on her muzzle as she wipes away her tears. She's trying to make fun of me, huh? Well two can play at that game.

"No! It's liquid sadness. Totally different thing!" DJ said brushing the tears away.

She gave him a funny look and said, "Uh huh. Riiiight."

"IT'S LIQUID SADNESS!"

"Whatever you say, DJ." How she irks me so. And we only just met!

"Well it was nice getting to meet the real Nyx. That is another one down," DJ said with a smile.

That got a questioning look from Celestia. "Another what down?"

"Another dream come true. Today has just been one dream fulfilled after another! I LOVE IT!!"

DJ’s reply definitely wasn't what the group was expecting, but this got a warm smile out of the sun princess and he was feeling pretty good about himself, too. "Are there any others that you were planning on having fulfilled by today's end?" she asked with a little suspicion in her voice.

Normally, he would have replied like the smart ass that he is, but DJ was feeling too good to do so. So he simply said, "Yeah, actually. I really want to see Luna's night sky."

Now he had the night princess' attention. "Thou wishes to see our night?" she said a little taken aback. "Whatever for?"

"You see Luna, can I call ya Luna?” She nods slowly to his question, but he takes it in stride and continues. “On my world, the lights of our massive cities pollute the sky and as such you have to go far away from civilization to see the stars. Even then, you can't see as many as you could hundreds of years ago. I myself have only seen a few stars at night, so I really want to see a perfect night sky," he said looking up to the ceiling with a dreamy look on his face. Luna blushed a little after that; very few ponies truly appreciated her night, but this new creature said that it was one his dreams. Perhaps his dream would come true tonight, Luna thought. But he wasn't done. "You see, mankind has always had a relationship with the night. For hundreds of years, it was a time of fear for what lurked out in the shadows, but as our technology grew, it became our goal. We looked to the stars as the ultimate test. To see how high our species could go. The stars guided us through our history and told it as well. We were, and still are, infatuated with the vastness of outer space and it took everything we had to reach it."

Twilight looked at him with surprise and suspicion. "You make it sound like humans can travel into space."

DJ looked at her and nodded. "We can. It took many years, but almost sixty years ago mankind finally put one of its own into space to orbit around our planet. Over a decade later was the turning point, however, with what is still considered our greatest achievement. We put a man on the moon! Those great men uttering the most famous phrase in human history: 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.' With those words mankind stepped onto the moon for the first time." The others were in shock and awe over what DJ had said. It was a completely new concept for them.

Luna was the first to speak. "Your kind actual went to the moon? How?"

"WITH THE POWER OF SCIENCE! I don't really know all the details as I am no rocket scientist, but I can guarantee that we did land on the moon."

"Your kind definitely has amazing potential," said Celestia. "You must have a very high praise of your species."

"Heh, heh,” he laughs nervously. “Not really. We may have done a few great things, but humans have done much more terrible things than good. It is like all we know is how to create chaos!"

Suddenly, there was a 'pop' right in front of him and what came forth asked, "Did somepony say 'chaos'?" DJ fainted right there with a thud.
