CHAPTER ONE: Reunion

Luna held the corpse of Dorchester in her arms. sobbing over his lifeless body. Yet something saved him that day...

“L....Luna...” I whispered, I began to regain feeling in my body, yet I still couldn't move.

“Ryan... please come back!” Luna cried. She couldn't hear me over the raging whirlpool and her sobs.

“Luna...” I spoke a little louder this time. Luna raised her head and looked at me, my eyes had opened a little. Yet I could see her, and she could see me. I began to feel myself slip away, as if she was letting go of me. I became engulfed in a tomb of bright swirling gray lights, there was a flash, and I was my old alicorn form once again. Luna looked up in delight. I felt new and refreshed, I saw Lance, Twilight, Starch, even Mr. Bleak looking up at me in happiness. I stood on the ground as though nothing had happened. I took a glance at my flank and noticed that my cutiemark had appeared! It was Ying and Yang.

Baby we're back!!

I thought we're going to be gone forever!

I'm glad we're back...

Luna ran over to me and wrapped her hooves around my neck, I put one hoof around her. I looked to see Frederic smiling. I grinned at him. Lace Danneggiato was dead, and I somehow survived the encounter! I felt alive! When we released, Pinkie Pie began to bounce around, saying how she was going to throw the biggest party in all of Equestrian history. Celestia stayed back and was talking to Mr. Bleak.

More like whispering if you ask me.

No longer will the Lunar Events continue, I was sure about that. I walked over to The Great Whirlpool and looked down were Lace Danneggiato had fallen. I felt glad that it was all over with. Yet I heard something before I died...

“You're alicorn form is that of his power...”

Does that mean I still have some of Lace Danneggiato inside me? It didn't matter anymore. He was dead, and Equestria was safe.

Two Weeks Later...

I stood by the refreshment table, taking a sip of punch. I looked over to see the royal family, and Lance's family all chatting. I was alone, but not really.

Quite the party Pinkie got going on here huh?

Yeah, pretty impressive... how did she know about the Team Fortress 2 Theme?

She can break the fourth freaking wall Reason, I'm not too surprised. If you ask me.

I think I'll be changing your names, for the last time of course. Truth, you're now Xax, Reason, you're Xas.

Xaxas? They both spoke at the same time.

Yup... I walked over to one of the couches and sat down, banging my head slightly to the sound of the music. I enjoyed it, a lot. I saw Spark, Fawn, Kara, Nova, and Star Chaser approach me. All with big smiles on their faces.

“What are you all up to?” I asked with a laugh. Before anything else happened, I was hit in the face with pie. I heard gasps and everyone turned around to look at me. I heard one pony laughing, I wasn't too surprised.

“I got you good~!” Greg laughed, I closed my eyes and grinned. I cleaned all the pie on my face, completely leaving it clean. I glared over at Greg.

“Hoh Shit...” He bolted back as I threw pie debris behind Greg, I smiled and leaned my ear forward.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!” I heard Greg howl in the distance.

“What did you do?” Spark asked.

“Something called... freezing top.” I laughed to myself. I had made all the pie debris ice cold, but they still looked normal. I loved that spell, thanks Annabel. The group turned around and began to chat, I looked over to my side to see Rarity and Peter approach me, both smiling.

“Well, we saw what happened, and we're both very happy you made it.” Rarity said.

“You did destroy the greatest threat to Equestria, you do realize that right? Why aren't you partying?” Peter asked.

“You try giving death the finger, then you won't be so... up for it.” I responded. As happy as I was, that experience gave me quite the shock. A fancy looking suit came floating in front of my eyes.

“No way, you didn't have to...” I said, taking the suit.

“Might as well, it was nothing!” Rarity said excitingly.

“I love it!” I ran to get some privacy, I heard Greg moaning as I put on the dress suit. I checked myself in the mirror, I looked great. I came strutting out of the changing room.

LIKE

A

BOSS we all said at the same time.

A slow song had begun to play, I watched as all the guests began to pair up. Frederic with Luna, Lance with Twilight, Peter with Rarity. I watched, yet couldn't help feeling a bit sad. I didn't have anyone to dance with, but it was fine.

More sugar for us!!

I approve of this!

Settle down you two, I'm not hungry or need a sugar rush.

Xax and Xas both groaned. I smiled, I thought it was funny. Don't judge me. I felt something tap my back, and I saw one of the most beautiful mares I have ever seen.

Holy shit...

I'd turn lesbian for this chick!

Oh yeah... forgot you were a girl...

Both of you, shut up!

“Uhh... hi... are you... Dorchester...?” She said shyly. I was great with getting people to know me, this shouldn't be hard. Her coat was blue, much like Lyra's while her mane was a light silver, it fell over to the side a bit, while her tail was long and wrapped up like Applejack's at the bottom. Her silver eyes pierced me, she wore a dark blue gown. I was blown away by her appearance.

“Yeah, you ne- need something?” I stammered, still gawking.

“My name is Silvermoon.”

That sounded a lot like a name a human would use...

“I was a human back on Earth.”

Bingo

“I knew you're a human to... your real name is Ryan.” Silvermoon looked up at me, her horn looked like Twilight's.

“Yeah, how did you know?” I asked. How did she know so much about me?

“I've just heard about you, you defeating Lace Danneggiato and all... I thought that was pretty cool. Don't worry, I'm not one of those uptight highclass Canterlot ponies.”

A Pegasister... nice!

“Really now? I had no idea that his defeat was that popular.”

“Oh it's all over the news! Every pony in Equestria knows how you stared death right into the eye and returned in one piece!” Silvermoon began to smile at me. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time.

“I had no idea I was that popular.” I said, rubbing the back of my neck with my hoof.

“I just thought I'd say hi and all. Thanks for talking to me! It means a lot!” Silvermoon spoke awkwardly. She turned around.

Don't just stand there! That's one hottie you won't ever encounter again in a lifetime! She SOOO digs you! Make your move damn it!

As much as I hate to agree with you Xax at this moment, I will agree. Talk to her!

“Hey! Wait!” I called out to Silvermoon. She turned her head and faced me with those large silver eyes.

“How about you meet me... outside the local resturant, the one near the castle.” I said, smiling weakly. I wasn't good at this...

“But only the highest class ponies get inside that place!” Silvermoon called out.

“I think the savior of Equestria is a bit more then a high class.” I said grinning. Silvermoon's face turned as red as an apple.

“What time?” She asked me.

“Tomorrow, at a quarter to five!” I responded. She nodded her head and set off. I turned around.

“Yes!”

“Nice one big fella,” Lance had come over, patting me on the back. Twilight followed him with Spark, Kara, and Fawn. Lance looked over at Xas and Xax, both doing some sort of victory dance.

“Never mind them.” I said chuckling.

“Oh I remember when Lance took me out on our first date.” Twilight swooned, kissing Lance on the cheek.

“Ha ha, yeah.” He responded. He whispered in my ear.

“If you need any help, just ask me.” I shrugged him off.

“I'll be fine, besides, she seems to like me.” I said. I looked at Fawn and Spark, both giggling like little school children. Kara's wing was still bandaged, she stood on Lance's back.

“Ryan's got a girlfriend! Ryan's got a girlfriend!” Spark and Fawn began to jump around. I stepped back in shock, my face flushed red.

“Don't you dare start yelling that! Especially in public like this!” Twilight snapped, she scooped up her children with her hooves, covering their mouths.

“It won't happen again! I promise!” Twilight said. I waved my hoof.

“No problem, kids will be kids.” All three of us laughed while Fawn and Spark struggled and squirmed to get out of their mothers grasp.
