Two weeks later

Ponlyville had returned to normal, relitivily at least, after the mane 6 had had their incidant, no other symptoms returned, everypony assumed it was some kindaof mass hallusination, nopony really though that though, but it was the most coviniant answere, and with all the weird stuff that went on in Ponyville it made the most sense to say that happened other then to dig deaper into it.

Twilight Sparkle was sitting in her room on the top floor of the library, she was looking through her teliscope, trying to study the everfree cloud paterns, trying to find some kind of regularity in the chaos.

However, she was buisy observing a certen jumble of clouds that seemed to be quite quickly aproching ponyville, at first she had though it was just some werid formation snaking its way towards them, but it moved to uniformly, was accerlating too fast, she was studying it to see exactly what it was.

“Twilight?” A young voice called behind her, shocking twilight out of her stupor, causing her to turn and look at her young assistant, he stood there, calm as ever.

“Hey Spike...my number one assistant! What do you need little buddy” Twilight forced cheer into her voice. Spike did not reply in turn.

“...Luch is ready, whenever.” He said with a shrug as he turned to walk away. The second he turned his back, twilight slumped back on her chair sighing.

Her and Spikes relationship had never been the same since the events in the Badlands...it was such a stupid thing...a slip of the tounge… but she knew how much it meant to spike. He had never had parents, he had never had a mother or a father, she knew Spike saw her as a sister...but she also knew that he not ONCE ever thought of her as his mother.

He had been so distant over the last few months, like he was trying not to get as close to her, trying to keep himself at a distance, she understood why, he was confused, she was too, neither of them really knew where their relationship stood, especaly after she had driven Silver away, someone she KNEW Spike looked up to like a father, mostly because he didn’t have many male role-models other then her brother. (someone that if spike saw as a father would make the whole situation twelve times more weird)

Yes Twilight understood why Spike wanted to keep her at a distance.

Still didn’t make it hurt any less though.

Twilight shook the thoughts from her head looking back at the cloud to see that…

It was landing outside of ponyville?

Twilight rubbed her eyes, her hoof comeing away slightly moist from tears that had just barily not been shed. But then she saw the cloud was still there, on the ground in front of the Everfree…

Then the clouds were sucked inwards on themselves.

Twilight could only stare and gulp, it was an Airship, not just any airship…

It was the Peacemaker. Silver’s ship, the one he had took when he left…

and if the ship was back.

Silver was back too.

Twilight fell backwards, she coulden’t deal with this not now, she looked back to see everypony running towards the airship, she also saw spike basicly leading the charge.

Twilight just backed herself into the corner, her breathing ragged.

She could hide here, pretend that she had never seen Silver’s airship.

Or she could go, go and face the stalion who had...betrayed her...NO He HAD betrayed her.

Her logical mind told her otherwise, but her heart was still too broken to see that.

Twilight stood up and moved to walk downstairs, out towards the door, Silver was back, she needed to accept that, she needed to go and face him. As she stood at the door, she turned around and walked back upstairs.

She would face him...

....

Just not right now.

Alicornian Peacemaker (outside everfree)

The Grand ship had landed just outside the everfree. Ponies from around ponyville gather to see the ship, and its lone occupant who had yet to get out, the side of the ship oppened with a mechanical hiss. As the Lone passanger decided down to the ground below.

silver took a step onto the ramp and was immediatley met with a purple dragon jumping in for a hug. silver smiled and returned the hug. “Silver, you’re back! where have you been this whole time?”

the exited spike asked, returning to the ground. “somewhere far away” silver said “far beyond equestia” spike looked at him with a sense of wonderment

“well i’m glad yopu’re back, i sure missed you” spike pointed at the the neclace around silver’s neck

“what’s that neclace you got there? it looks like an element” said spike

“right you are” silver replied “it;s the seventh element of harmoney!” silver said with gusto.

spike’s eyes turn bright and wide “seventh?” the wonder in his voice returned. “i thought there was only six” said spike

“so did i, but this mysterious thing happend in that far away land, and now i have the element… don’t ask me how it was all a bit confusing…” silver shruged.

“oh well it’s good to be back in ponyville.” Silver Said nochalotly

the two began to wlak down the ramp “i suppose twilight is still mad at me” said silver.

spike nodded “yeah, she’s still angry, so you should probably find somewhere else to sleep if you plan on staying?” spike put slight emphasis to make his statment sound like a question, hoping he would say yes.

“i think i’ll stay in ponyville for a while long after all it is my home” said silver.

spike saw twilight glance out the window of the library, and spike spoke up “sorry silver, i ahve to go, i think twilight wants to see me” he said sadably.

silver nodded and waved goodbye “see you later spike” he said.

silver continued to walk down the road, thinking of places he could stay, he thought about the main 6… twilight was off the list immediatley… rainbow probably wouldn’t want anyone sleeping in her house… he’d never get sleep if he went to pinkie’s house… applejack would just use him as extra labor, also she’s an earth pony and all… rarity, like applejack, would use him as a test modle for her outfits, although that might not be so bad, as he could potentially get a suit out of it, and he kinda liked rarity… that just leaves fluttershy, and she’s usually not in her house too often, so i suppose she would be the best candidate.

silver quickend his pace, as the sun was going to set soon, and he needed to be sure he could stay at fluttershy’s house for the night, if not, rarity would be the second try, but for now, fluttershy

after a long walk to flutters house, silver knocked on the door. “greetings fluttershy, it’s me, silver” he said in a clear voice. Fluttershy dropped the tea bag she was holding at the sudden noice, her heart stopped, there was only one stalion that voice could belong to...one stallion that touched her heart.

“Hello? Flutershy...you there?” Silver called as he walked inside, and saw Fluttershy standing there at the other side of the room.

“Oh hey there Flutershy, long time no see, how are things?” Instead of replying to Silvers greeting, Fluttershy rushed forwards and practicly tackled silver into a combination hug and kiss.

Silver, not expecting the sudden show of affection, fell backwards onto flutershy’s couch, before quickly returning the kiss, the smaller pegisi’s hine legs wraped around his barrel as she wraped her front legs around his neck as they made out.

After about twenty seconds the kiss broke and nothing but a thin trail of saliva linked their two mouths together.

“Well then, thats not the reaction I was expecting, wasn’t unpleseant at all...but not the one I was expecting” Silver chucled as he leaned in and nuzzled Fluttershy.

Flutershy, suddenly relising exactly what she did, jumped off of silver and backed away. “Silver! I-I mean, oh no! I’ve done it again! I-I-I was finaly getting twilight to listen...th-then you come back and oh no! Why am I such a bad friend *sniffle*” Fluttershy ended her small quiet rant by breaking into tears as she began sniffling, Silver had no idea what was going on but tried to confert her the best he could.

“There...uh...there my sexy little butterfly...don’t be sad, let Silver kiss the wound better” Silver ended it by leaning in for a kiss. which Fluttershy put up little resistance to at first. Before she opened her eyes wide again and pushed Silver off of her.

“OHMYCELESTIAIAMSOSORRYIHAVETOGONOWBYESILVER” Fluttershy said quickly before bolting out the door. Leaving a confused Silver Haze behind.

“...ok then...I guess I’ll just make myself at home untill she gets back...then I’ll ask her if I can stay when she gets back...if she ever come sback.” Silver shruged before laying down on the couch, it was far softer then his cot he had up in the mountans.

“How kind of that mare to offer you refuge here” The Alicorn made of red light said as he leaned over silver.

“SWEET CELESTIA!” Silver screamed like a stallion and totaly not like a little filly.

“Silver Haze, I have detected the other Elements nearby, we should attept to contact them and their current weilders.” Silver shook his head at the Red light Alicorn.

“Dude, that yellow mare, Fluttershy, She is one of the Elements” This caused the Red Alicorn to rear up in surpise.

“Wait, you already know who there Weilders are! Why didn’t you tell me!” The Alicorn sputterd out.

“You never asked. Now be quiet, I’m getting bored, I think I’m going to go walk around Ponyville.” Silver stood up walking through the red light Alicorn who disitigrated at his touch, before walking towards the door. He didn’t really feel like taking a nap right now anyway, real warriors didn’t need naps.

Silver Haze walked into town deciding to stop at Rainbows place, he came across the cloud house and decided to fly up, his element stuck to his chest giving him a boost to reach the enterence without even needing to give more then one or two flaps of his wings. He admired the giant cloud home.

It was really more of a cloud pallace then a cloud home, it had several floors, many rooms, still pegisi were knowen for their extravigantce on their homes, something to do with bird like behavior of needing to have the best roost to attract mates or whatever. He haden’t paid that much attention to it. Still, he did know this was an impressive place, he walked up the cloud entryway, with smaller stormclouds paving the way to the entrece, they created little thunder sounds when you steped on them, and they were heated.

Silver made his way to the entrence, when he got there he politely knocked. Only to hear snickering behind him.

Silver turned around to come face to face with Rainbow Dash. “Hey there Haze, you looking for me?” Silver smiled at his rainbow colored friend.

“Hello there Rainbow dash, how are you? Its been a while!” Rainbow Dash blew a razeberry at him.

“No Duh it’s been a while! You like, dissipeared without a trace for four and a half months! Seriously man what was up with that, you didn’t even say goodbye!” Rainbow glared at him, causing SIlver to shrink slightly under her glare.

“Sorry Rainbow, I would have told you all...but me and Twilight were having issues so I decided to go give her some distance.” Rainbow dash still just scoffed at him.

“Yeah we all figured. Seriously, Twilights just been acting like a big old jerk these last few months, ever since she found out you and Flutershy had a little fling she’s been totally blowing her off, not cool.” Silver agreed with Rainbow, he was glad she understood, Pegisi were more like Alicorns in that they were more accepting of open relationship and poligimy like Alicorns had.

“Well still she had her reasons, I betrayed her trust, I only wish she would understand…” Silver shook his head.

“I know right, Like, I love Twilight, she’s one of my best friends, but I was Flutershy’s friend first, and she’s just been acting like she’s worthless, honestly, I sometimes want to go to that libary and smack that mare on the head.” Silver nodded sypatheticly.

“Yeah, but anyway, how DID Twilight find out about me and Flutershy?” Rainbow shook her head.

“I Don’t know, one day Twilight just whent to sugar cube corner as we do...use to do every week and started yelling at flutershy about it, none of us know where it came from, we all just assumed flutershy cracked and told her...but now that I think about it that doesn’t make much sense, meh, whoever told her doesn’t mater, it was Twilight over-reacting about the whole thing that made it terrible.” Silver smiled at his friend, he was glad to know that he wasn’t alone at least.

“Anway rainbow dash, anything else interesting happen when I left?” Rainbow dash shook her head, then stopped. Then nodded yes.

“Yeah, a few weeks ago the six of us had this weird mass hallutiation that we were all attacked by Alicorns made of light speaking giberish or something...I dont know. It was weird, but everypony moved on quickly from it.” Silver nodded like he was listening but he had gone into deep thought.

So this Alicorn inside of him wasn’t lieing, the elements were coming back to life, even if they were in the tree of harmony, their ‘Rainbow power’ was linked to the elements, now he was the new conduit for their powers due to the fact that he was the only one with a catilist (The necklace) to channel it through. Still though he kept that to himself, he didn’t want to throw more stuff out of order then he already had.

“Thanks Rainbow, anyway, I got to go, have a good day!” He waved to her as he lept down to the ground, landing with a thud as his magic absorbed the kinetic energy from landing.

He began walking towards his next destination with purpose that he had not had before, he had to see how everypony else was doing.

Next, silver was going to go check out applejack and the farm. Silver flew wish great speed to the apple farm, where he saw applekack bucking away in the middle of the orchard. “hey applejack!” said silve,r getting her attantion.
Applejack looked up, squinting “Seelver is that yew?” she yelled, and silver flew in even closer

“it’s me applejack, i’m back in ponyville for a while, and i wanted to check in with everyone
“weel ain’t that a amght thought ful of yew? so, how have yew been doin’? applejack asked, as she picked up an empty basket from the nerby wagon and placed it under a tree, then proceeding to buck it as apples fell like rain.

“i’ve been alright, i was actually away in saddle arabia” said silver.

“Saddle arabia yew say? weel ah recon that was the place celestia went raght?” said appleajck “Oh by the way do yew mand branging that ther wagon over here?” she added, pointing to the wagon filled with empty baskets for apples. silver obliged “i knew i’d be used for work if i came here” silver thought to himself.

“i don’t really know where celestia went, i don’t really keep track of those things” silver said grunting as he pulled the heavy wagon along.

“ah weel i recon i should brush up on me equeestiah geeologey” said applejack.

“Geography” silver corrected. “yeah, that” said applejack.

“so, how have you been effected by twilight’s change in mood that i’ve been told about?” silver aked. applejack looked a bit sad.

“Twahlahght has been acteen like a reyal Humdinger recently, she’s alwees tellin lies an all. but ah guess ah can understand eet, since she’s been heartbrokeen and awl, but she doesn’t have to act lahke a jerk so much” said applejack before bucking anothert tree and more red apples falling like rain.

“oh yeah, ther was also something strange lahke a ghost aleecoren, but eet was probabky just my imagination” said applejack.

“oh, yeah, rainbow told me about that already, it’s not just you’re imagination, it happend to everyone, at least everyone who i’ve talked to” said silver. “anyways, thanks for the talk, see you around applejack”

Applejack picked an apple from the ground, ispected it for insects and after deciding that it was a good apple she tossed it to silver, who caught it. “one for the road” said applejack with a wink

“thanks applejack, enjoy the rest of the day” silver flew off…

And landed back down at Sugar Cube Corner. As he walked in he heared the teltale hissing sound of a fuse going off. Reacting quickly Silver sumoned his weapon and threw it towards the sound, it hit the party cannon and swong it around as it whent off, blasting Pinkie Pie in the face with cake and confetti.

Silver was mortified. “OH NO! Sorry Pinkie, I paniced when I heared a fuse go off, I thought somepony was attacking me I am so sorry!” Pinkie just giggled as she stuck out her tounge and licked the cake off of herself.

‘Damn, she has a flexable tounge’ silver thought to himself as she somehow managed to lick all the cake off of her ‘I wonder what else she would be able to use it for...no, bad silver, bad thoughts.’ Silver scolded himself as focused back on the task at hand to see Pinkie standing beside him poking his ripped chest.

“Still though! Probably for the best! I mean cake is good and all, I mean its like the best thing ever besides having friends, which is way way better then cake, but maybe cake isn’t good for you because since you came back you look so good and tough, you must of stopped eating sweets to get into such good shape! I could never stop eating sweets though, I mean, I could proiblby use getting into shape I mean I have been gaining some weight but I’m always carfull about being pysicaly active and all because staying in shape is important, plus I mean look at you! You look like a giant stone pillar, or a rock, like Tom! Because you know, you just look so stoic and tough and all, besides that thought what was I talking about? Oh yeah, I love to stay in shape its totally good, I do jumping jack and push ups and drink water then chocolate milk...mhhh I love chocolate milk its really good isn’t it? I remember when discord got out he made chololate milk rain from the sky! It was great, even though he turned out to be a big meany-pants, still though now he’s our friends and not a meany-pants which is good...oh great now I lost my train of thoughst *giggle* Oh yeah, trains, trains are funny aren’t they? Speaking of trains, trains are loud, and Twilights been loud a lot too, I think shes kinda angry at you and fluttershy, but also herself, and spike maybe? I don’t know but anyway you know what else is loud? this voice in my head, its funny it keeps saying this weirds stuff in some languge I don’t undserstand about a elem-ont, or whatever, but also another thing about fitness is that I dont want to get supper fit because then I woulden’t be as fluffy with all that hard mussle, at this weight I am in perfect shape to throw a party and I can snuggle up and be soft see?” Pinkie pie ended it by throwing herself on top of silver and squishing herself ontop of him.

Silver thought two things. ‘I have no idea what she just said but she is very squishy and soft.’ the other thing was ‘DON’T THINK ABOUT HER TOUNGE RIGHT NOW, DON’T THINK ABOUT HER ON TOP OF YOU RIGHT NOW BAD SILVER’

Pinkie pie rolled off of silver and landed on all fours with a squee.

“ANYWHOO, I have to get back to work Silver! Thanks for stopping by! You were great converstation! BYE~!” Pinkie pie waved as she slammed the door shut behind silver who had just walked out in a daze (you could say he was in a Haze!). Silver shook his head and shruged, just pinkie being Pinkie.

Next on silver’s list was the fabulous rarity’s boutique, a place he was rather excited to revisist, as it reminded him of the high class that alicornia had, like he was walking into his walk-in closet back in his old home.

Silver approached the grand boutique and entered the door, he heard a small bel above his head, singling to rarity of his arrival “Hello rarity! it is i, silver”

“one moment, darling!” silver heard a voice from within the depths of the store one he knew all too well. silver decided to take a look at the dresses rarity had, all of them look amazing and dazzling, maybe silver might even get a suit like he predicted… if he got an apple from applejack, then why not a suit from rarity.

Silver heard rarity call from the back of the store, telling him to come to her. when silver entered the room he saw rarity’s “orangized chaos” workplace, fabrics were strewn about on the shelves and ribben, bows and accesories were placed miss-matchedly.

“Silver darling, it’s been so long, where have you been” said rarity, with a cheery tone walking over and giving Silver a hug, one that he noticed just lasted a bit longer then a friendly hug nomaly did.

“i’ve been far away, taking some time for myself, but i’ve had a change of heart and i’m returnoing top ponyville for a while.” said silver “so how has business been going?” Silver asked

“buiness has been fine, nothing too exiting latley… i’ve been working on a new line of clothes” rarity pointed to a rack filled with clothes that silver has never seen. “they’re over there if you want to take a look”

SIlver inspected the clothes, and he liked what he saw, it was mixed with both classy peices and more casual ones as well, Rarity made her mark clear with the gems embroyed on.

“so…” silver began “have you talked much to twilight latley” said silver “sorry for brining that up”

Rarity hesitated “oh, it’s fine darling… twilight has been” rarity tried to come up with words, something that would get the point across without being too rude “not very acceptable in her attatude latley, she’s been snapping at ponies and being argumentative, especially to poor little fluttershy, ever since you two…” rarity trailed off, not sure if it was a touchy subject for silver.

“Don’t worry, i’m pretty much over twilight now. so, how was your experience with the masshallusinations?”

rarity was taken by suprize from the question “so you know about that?” she said.

“pretty much everyone has told me about it” Silver Said.

“oh well… it happend when i was in the town square talkin with applejack, when twilight came over and we began to get into a… debate, when all of a sudden it happend, and i’m sure you know the rest” said rarity.

“indeed i do” said silver “well, nice talking to you rarity, see youa round town” Rarty walked over and gave him a friendly peck on the check before turning around. “Tata Darling~” She said before going back inside the back room. and with that silver left the buitque with a wave goodbye to rarity.

After leaving Rarity's, Silver knew he had one last place he needed to go to, one place he had been avoiding.

The Golden Oaks Library.

Silver walked forwards slowly, he thought he saw movment up in the window, but decided that he wasn't going to pry into what was going on up there. He walked towards the door and knocked calmly, hoping the she would answere.

After a few tense seconds the door opened to reveil One Princes Twilight Sparkle.

"Hey there...Twili-" Silver started but was cut off by Twilight.

"Its PRINCESS Twilight, Prince Haze." She said coldly. Silver winced, fine if that was how she wanted to play it, he'd play her little game, and beat her at it too, only one of them had a thousand years experience in politics.

"My deepest apologize Princess Twilight though I-" Suddenly before he could finish the door swong all the way open and Twilight gestered for him to enter.

"It would be quite rude of me not to invite royalty into my home, come in Prince Haze." She said causing Silver to scowel slightly, she was one step ahead of him, if she was this quick on her hooves, then he woulden't be able to call her out on it.

He nodded before entering. Twilight walking behind him as he sat down.

"Can I intrest you in something to drink? Anything?" Twilight said her voice even and calm.

Silver lost it first.

"OK Twilight, what do you want me to do? Beg? Plead? Get down on my knees? I'm trying to make amends, everypony involved is but you arn't forgiving anyone! You are acting like a real jerk." Silver growled at Twilight. Who just calmly levitated herself over a cup of tea and calmly sipped it, it reminded Silver of Celestia.

"I don't want you to do anything Silver, I've moved on, we're done. I do not consider you as a romantic partner anymore nor do I consider you a friend. You have no right to tell me who I have to forgive and if I am a 'jerk' for not wanting to associate with the two ponies that betrayed my trust then call me that all you want. I don't HAVE to forgive anypony for anything." Twilight took another sip of her tea.

"Twilight...Twilight you know that you are being stupid, when me and flutershy did our thing we wer-" Twilight held up her hoof, before finishing her cup and seting it down.

"It's not just those things Silver, I know everything. I know how Flash Sentry was just some sick way of getting me to fall for you, I know that you tried to cover up the fact that you slept with me because at the time Luna had no idea you intended to bring me into your herd. I...I know about even after we got back together...during flutershy's corruption you kissed her then." Twilight poured another cup of scalding hot tea, drinking it slowly.

"I know everything Silver. Everything. And I'm done forgiving you for it. I'm done hearing about how everything has a valid reason, I'm tired of feeling betrayed then being told that I'm wrong, or as you put it 'stupid' because there is a reason, ALWAYS a reason. I'm sorry Silver, but I will not sit here and have my emotions be invalidated just because you have an excuse for every reason." Twilight took another sip, a quiet empty sip. Silver gridded his teeth.

"So what! You expect me to CHANGE who I am so I fit better into your perfect love story! Relationships don't work like that Twilight." Silver stood, Twilight just kept drinking her tea before leting out a forced laugh.

"Really Silver? Because you had NO problem forcing ME to change, you had no problem dragging me along telling me that if I didn't change to YOUR ways then it woulden't work between us. Tell me Silver, Tell me ONE time you gave something up in our relationship. Tell me ONE time that you changed to fit in with Equestrian Society. If you can do that I will apologize for EVERYTHING" Twilight growled back at him, before Silver could smugly reply Twilight spoke again.

"NOT BEING A CELESTIA-DAMNED RACIST DOES NOT COUNT!" Twilight yelled at him from across the table, Silver just scoffed.

"There were plenty of times Twilight" Silver said dismissively. Twilight stood her ground.

"Name one." She said simply.

"Why should I? You obviously didn't really change, just pretended to!" Silver said despratly trying to buy time, to stall her.

"Name ONE." Twilight said, before taking another sip of tea. "Or you know where the exit is."

Silver racked his brain then he remembered one.

"Battlebrew, I stopped drinking battlebrew for you Twilight, that stuff was my life, it was all I had left of my culture TO give up." Silver said, hoping that she would see reason.

"Really? Not drinking poison is the best you can come up with...big sacrifice Silver. Now get out of my house." Twilight said simply, no venom, no sarcasm, just a statement.

"That wasn't the deal Twilight I proved you wrong. I'm not leaving until you act reasonable about this whole thing!" Silver said angrily, Twilight just took another drink.

"One, I was being sarcastic, two, you don't have a choice." Twilight said simply, a smile on her face.

Silver Scoffed, moving closer to Twilight, he noticed the ground shook slightly, but paid it no mind as he stood, summoning his blade to steady himself from the sudden shaking, which stopped a moment later, his hight over Twilight becoming aparent "You might not like it, but I am your friend's friend too and you are making THEIR lives worse with your own selfishness, I mean what I said, I will not leave here until you act like a grown mare about th-" Silver was suddenly cut off. By the sound of hooves coming down the stairs.

"Twilight? I got your letter what was so important that It required me to come here personaly..." Celestia trailed off as she saw Silver haze standing over a slightly cowering Twilight...with his weapon drawn. Silver's eyes widdened as he looked up at Celestia, then back down at Twilight who had a triumphant grin on her face. Silver gulped as he turned to Celestia.

"uhhh...this isn't what it looks like?" Silver said with a forced smile on his face.

Outside Ponyville Library

Silver Haze groaned as he sat up, he looked up just in time to see the Solar Princess slam the door behind him, Silver sighed, blowing a stray strand of hair out of his face.

"You were fighting at about 0.01% Combat prowess there. Was there a reason you threw that fight?" Silver haze sighed as he looked up at the blood red alicorn of light who offered Silver his hoof to help him get up. Silver grabbed it and tried to pull himself up, before they both relised that one of them was made of light, and Silver just sort of faceplanted onto the ground.

"I don't want to hurt Celestia, or Twilight, I can't beleaved she called Celestia on me...total Jerk move." He muttered. The Alicorn looked confused but then nodded anyway.

"Oh well, I guess I'm not going to melt the Ice Princess's heart tonight, I better go back to Flutershy's place and get sleep." Silver Haze said with a sigh as he walked back to Flutershy's place.

When he got there he saw fluttershy waiting for him, they ate a nice dinner of hay fries and hay Burgers (take out) Before they talked for a bit, catching up on current events, Mostly Silver talking about his day giving her a recap, Flutershy just mostly listened.

"O-Oh...I don't think she's being a jerk...I-I mean If I was in her place I would be upset too...she trusted me...and the first thing I did was take you away from her the first second I could...that's not what a good friend would do...I didn't even wait a day before I started umm...seeing you. I didn't even try and console her!" Fluttershy shook her head.

"I'm just a terrible friend..." Silver lifted her chin up with his magic and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Fluttershy, Twilight IS just being a massive jerk, we are grown adults, we were not in a relationship when we had our fling, we...YOU did nothing wrong...she'll come around eventually." Fluttershy just nodded like she was unsure, so silver leaned in for another kiss, this time flutershy also was also into it, after making out for a bit, Fluttershy stood up.

"Ummm, I'm going to bed now...you can join me if you want to...um, only if you want to though I don't want you to do anything you don't want to!" She said nervously before letting out an addorble giggle. Then running off to her room. Silver smiled, before following her shortly after.

When he got to her room though, instead of her being up and ready for some late night fun she had already apeared to have started to go to sleep, Silver was slightly confused, but decided against saying anything, instead, he cleaned himself up to get ready for bed before walking back into the dark room, crawling into bed silently besides Fluttershy.

"MhhhMMhh" Was all Fluttershy said as she moved back to lean against Silvers muscular chest as he wrapped his hooves around the more petite mare, Fluttershy quickly fell asleep in his hooves.

Silver smiled. Before drifting off to sleep himself.

For the first time in four months, Silver slept without thinking of a blood stained temple, and a dead blue Alicorn.

If just for a moment.

Ponyville Library

Twilight winced as she heard Celestia slam the door, she cast a small spell to clean up the burns on the wooden floor where Celestia had blasted Silver with a head ray. "so...uh, Princess! Sorry for having to bo-" Twilight was cut off by Celestia turning around, her mane was less colorfull instead, it seemed to turn almost sunset orange, her eyes were burning like fire.

"Did. He. Hurt. You?" Celestia said simply, her breath ragged and angry.

"Wh-what? What do you mean Pr-Princess?" Twilight said as she steped away from her mentor, she had never seen her this...angry.

"You heard me Twilight. Did Silver lay a hoof on you? Where? Do I need to go out there and beat him till he becomes a black and PURPLE Alicorn? Do I have to banish his pathetic being to the SUN? DO I NEED TO BRING CANTERLOT MOUNTAIN DOWN ON HIM?!?!" Celestia Roared at Twilight causing her to recoil in fear.

"N-No Princess he didn't hurt me I promise! It really wasn't what it looked like!" Twilight said as Celestia relaxed visibly.

"Oh..." Celestia said as she stumbled over to one of the chairs and sat down.

"When I got...when I got the message that Silver was back in Equestria...then I got your message that it was important and I needed to get down to ponyvile quickly...and I saw him standing over you like that...I...I thought I was too late...I thought that he had already got to you..." Celestia looked down, breathing hevily as she tried to calm her heart down.

"Celestia..." Twilight said, putting a gentle hoof on her mentor.

Celestia just kept looking down. "I already lost one student Twilight...I can't lose another one of you so soon...or at all...I can't live to see another...another friend...no, FAMILY member leave me again." Twilight felt horrible, she had just wanted Celestia to scare off Silver, she didn't relise how her message would impact Celestia.

Twilight began to tear up "I'm so sorry Celestia...I never relised what...I mean I was only thinking about..." Twilight began to trail off before even from her position slumped over at the table, Celestia raised a hoof to her student's mouth, silencing her.

"No Twilight, do not apologize, I overreacted, if anypony should apologize it should be me." Celestia raised her head, giving Twilight a small smile.

"So how about we brew some tea and talk like old time my faithful stu-...Twilight." They both giggled at Celestia's slip.

"I guess we both have some old habits to kick huh Celestia?" Twilight said smiling. Celestia smiled right back.

After enjoying a few cups of warm tea, the pair retired upstairs to Twilight's room where Celestia would return to Canterlot, then they started saying their goodbyes, which segwayed into a conversation about politics, then gossip, then finally about just general events, the moon was at its peak by the time the two finally ran out of topics.

The two Princesses sat there on Twilights bed, leaning against one another, neither one making a move, or speaking, fearing the other would take that as a reminder that they both had much to do in the morning. Celestia decided to try one last topic.

"So...Twilight, why did you start dating Silver?" Twilight looked up at her mentor with surpise, there was no malice or anger in her voice, just curiosity. Twilight sighed, before tuning to her mentor.

"I don't know, why did YOU start dating Hope?" Celestia's eyes widened.

"Wha-Ha-How-you-uhh" Celestia studered in a most un-princess like way.

"I'll drop it if you do?" Twilight smirked at her mentor who gave her her own serious stare back, trying despreatly to hide the laugh trying to excape her lips.

"D-Deal." Celestia managed to say before she began giggling like a little schoolfilly. Twilight soon joined in.

"Hah...I guess the Princesses of Equestria just have the worst love lives ever huh?" Twilight said, Celestia nodded, suddenly, Twilight let out a huge yawn, before leaning into Celestia more, who subconsciously draped a wing over her student, keeping her warm as she snuggled closer against her mentor.

"...Celestia..?" Twilight mumbled. Celestia looked down at the half-asleep unicorn.

"Yes my fateful student?" Celestia answered back quietly, Twilights tired voice taking her back so many years ago...

"When...when I first had problems with Haze...you told me I had to figure it out myself...b-but this time, you fought him for me...why?" Twilight said before snuggling closer to Celestia. Who was frozen solid in fear.

"Twilight...I-I...I am a fool, I was afraid, afraid of Silver...he...he was always the more powerful of all of us, he was always the strongest, the fastest...He...I have made many mistakes in my life Twilight. I thought...I thought that by keeping you away from me I was protecting you from getting hurt...but I was just so selfishly thinking of myself...I-I mean I thou-" Celestia was cut off by a warm purple hoof slapping...no, more rubbing her on the face, as a definatly at least three-fourths asleep Twilight wispering.

"SHHHHHHHHH" she said, trailing off time she was basicly just blowing a raspberry. "It's OK Princess I forgive you...I always forgive you...you are the one pony I can always forgive..." Twilight wraped a hoof around celestia. "Just please don't abandon me...I-I feel so alone...I...my friends...please don't leave me Princess..." Twilight said quietly. Celestia just moved closer to her ex-student.

"Never Twilight...I promise." Celestia said as she leaned down and gave twilight a small kiss on the head, Twilight smiled as she layed her head down and fell asleep, snoring adorably.

Celestia smiled downwards, she knew she should get back to Canterlot, she knew that if she wasn't there to raise the sun Luna would yell at her for the rest of the day.

Celestia laid her head down beside Twilight's.

Luna owed her a thousand years of raising the moon, one time moving the sun wouldn't kill her.

And so the two Alicorns fell asleep there, curled up together. Both of their minds at peace.

If just for a moment.

Unknown lands

The pop of a champagne bottle was met with cheers around the large open circular room. The members of the Counsel chatted with glee. They had gotten the Element to Silver, they had done it. There was a long battle uphill still, but they had done it, they had given the world a fighting chance.

The new head of the councel smiled as she looked around. Member two was talkinging with member three, The bipedal brown creature talking with the grey winged king, extanging stories from their days.

The fourth member was wrapped around the entire room, his massive body alowing him to wrap around almost the entire room, his head resting near his tail, where he talked with his infidently smaller friend, who told stories from the migrartion that year, and how one stupid subject almost screwed the entire thing up.

The Queen smiled as her green magic sparked, calling the groups attention. "Attention! We have done it, today, we have changed history! Today, we give ourselves a new barrier between us and the FOG! Today we CELEBRATE!" Everyone cheered, however, before anyone could drink back to happyness. The door to the room opened.

In stepped Six ponies, all wearing black hoods.

The Queen turned around and looked at them, shock on her face. "wha-who? Who are you?" The mares stepped forwards.

The one in front, a purple unicorn, took one step forwards tossing back her hood to reveal the face of Twilight Sparkle.

"You have changed history...I am afraid that that just wont do. We only get one shot at this, and we will NOT let you ruin it with your own tampering...I apologize." The Mare opened her eyes, revealing pure white eyes with purple stars in them. The other Five mares opened their eyes to reveal white eyes with their cutie mares in their eyes. Magic flowed around them as they all stood ready to fight.

The groups stood silent.

But only for a moment.
