I finally got into making chapters over 2,000 words again. It has that sense of accomplishment to it. That or I'm writing too much... Yeah accomplishment. I hope.

I was having a great night with Kay. After the whole dinner thing and some games, followed by some suicide prevention, we were going to have some fun. I laid on top of her.

"Ooh... Someone's feeling lucky." she said.

"Can't blame me. I've done some good today."

"That you have." She kissed me first. Dammit she keeps beating me to it! We we're really about to go at it then the door opened.

"Uncle Dustin?" asked Silver Sage. Oh why now?

"Uh... yes?" I asked her.

"I had a bad dream." she told us.

"Where are Static and Twilight?" asked Kay.

"They are visiting a friend."

"Want to sleep here?" asked Kay. What? She can sleep with Terra or something! Develop a childhood relationship like mine and Kay's. It's that easy.

"Yeah!" Her eyes are shinning. She may have my eye color but she has Twilight's... Sparkle. Hah!

"Alright..." She quickly got between us. "Do we finish?" I asked Kay.

"What? No! There's a kid right here!"

"Are you two going to do the Naughty Hug?" asked Sage.

"Uh... No. Where did you hear that?" I asked her.

"Aunt Pinkie."

"Well there's your problem." She fell asleep on Kay.

"Aw... Dustin look!" she whispered.

"Just think we're going to have a kid." We got in a hug and fell asleep. We woke up figuring out it's been about 9 hours. I looked down and noticed Sage had left. She was standing at the foot of the bed.

"Jeez you two sleep a lot."

"I'm old! I get to sleep as long as I want." I told her.

"How old are you?"

"I'm 29. When I was a kid I use to be full of energy." I told her.

"I'm 2!" and she's in school? I asked Celestia about this and she said kids grow up fast. Like how Twilight moved to Ponyville when she was still basically a child herself. Celestia also said most ponies live to their hundreds. Except her. Man I think being immortal sucks.

"How old are you?" She asked Kay.

"I'm only 26." said Kay.

"Wow you look like your 19!" said Sage.

"Aw! Thank you!" she gave her a hug. D'aww...

"How do I look?" I asked her.

"Pretty old."

30 minutes later

Kay and I visited Rarity.

"Oh Kay! Glad your hear darling! Can I get your assistance?"

"Of course. What do you need?"

"To dress you up!" She pulled Kay into the room and chaos insured.

"Bye Dustin!" was what she said before getting pulled into the room leaving by myself. What the fuck just happened?

I went outside and thought to myself. I might die tonight and I haven't seen Heat Blaze since I moved hear. Then speaking of the devil a large fire track appeared across the sky!

"Dustin!" it said before landing in front of me.

"Lucas!" I said pulling him into a brohug.

"It's great to see you. I know that I should have earlier but I've been busy."

"No it's cool! Heard you and Rainbow are getting hitched." I know he is. When I was Static and went through his mind... Aw! I remember the sex! Ew! Ew ew EEEWWWW!

"Hey Dusty... your eyebrow is twitching."

"It does that when I think really hard." He laughed.

"Anyways yeah I'm getting hitched. How did you know?"

"Static. Hey congrats."

"Thanks. Heard the same about you and Kay Kronor. She still hot?"

"The hottest."

"I'm sure! Sexy Irish girl!" He continued to think about it until a shoe went out an open window and hit him on the head.

"Ow! She's working with Rarity? Yikes. Hay I heard that Rarity was with a prince or something like that."

"Oh really? What's his name?"

"Dream Weaver."

"What?!"

"You know him?"

"Yeah! H-He's really cool!" He flipped me on my ass last time. Then again since White Tulip is alive and Sundance is calm. I'm sure Dream doesn't want revenge or anything like that. Cross my... hooves?

"Did you hear Dustin?"

"About what?" I asked him.

"Their is this really kick ass spy out there. Name's Shadow! Odd I know but he kicked Singing Blade's ass, saved Twilight, and is rumored to be mooching off the princess!" What the fuck kind of rumors do these ponies listen to.

"Hey Dusty... Eyebrow's twitching again."

"Yeah it does that." Now I have images of fucking Celestia in my head! No not seeing her but literally fucking her! Gah! It Burns! She's too big for me! Not that my dick size has anything to do with it of course.

"I got to go and deliver this package for Static." he said taking off at the speed of light.

"Okay... Bye!" I yelled. He only waved at me. That was nice. Maybe I'll meet Dream Weaver again and not be threatened. Then a large dark Alicorn walked around the corner. It was him alright. What is with me and coincidences?

"Hey Dream!" I said.

"Hey Dustin!" he said back. "Sundance told me everything about you." He looked left and right. "Shadow." He whispered.

"What?!"

"Hey thanks. Rarity was there and she could have been hurt if you didn't stop that assassin. Sundance knows because she and Celestia are best of friends. Good luck with Bloodmane tonight. I shall give you my prayers." He said while bowing. I have never had someone as tall as an alicorn bow down to me.

"Thank you Dream. Rarity is dressing Kay for the Photo show."

"Your dating Kay?"

"Yes."

"How do you get a beautiful mare to fall for you like her?"

"We're childhood friends. Been through hell with each other you know?"

"Yeah I hear you. Treat her right Shafer." He said going inside. He had better not be checking out my girl or I will punch him in the fucking... (needs to think of a word.) Soul!

"Hey Dustin!" I head over my shoulder. I turned to see Forest.

"Hey Forest! Where's the woman?"

"I asked her to go to the market to keep her busy. I'm going into town to buy an engagement ring. I just thought how since we have a kid and everything..."

"That's awesome! Let's go!" I grabbed his hoof and pulled him into the Jewelry shops. We saw many off them.

"This one?" He looked at the bronze bracelet with a purple orb.

"No."

"How about this one?" He pointed to the silver one with the blue orb.

"Excuse me Miss." I said to the cashier. "Do you make these yourself?"

"I do. Is their something wrong?"

"No these are great! They are beautiful. Do you do custom one's?"

"I do for nice men like yourselves." I looked at Forest who had no idea to get her. The cashier handed me a menu off everything she does.

"I want this to be... Gold with an emerald orb. Can you put a pink butterfly behind it?"

"That's my specialty."

"Great! I want this to say nature lover." When Forest looked away I whispered to her. "My friend want's to marry Fluttershy."

"I have just the idea. It'll cost ya though!"

"How much?"

"700 bits. With tax comes to 725." She said.

"That's a great price! You are the best beautiful ma'am. I shall come here for all my friends marriage needs."

"I appreciate it!" She left the stand and went to a smithing forge outside. It's going to take a while. We waited about 42 minutes then she came up to us saying 'Done!'

It was a golden bracelet with the green orb and butterfly. There were nature vines with leaves going around the edge of it and it had little birds and rabbits on the inside. Their were two of the bracelets for each of them. By that I mean Forest and Fluttershy.

"She's going to love it!" squealed Forest.

"She is dude. Now don't be afraid." I told him.

"But I-I'm..."

"Shh shh shh. I have your back." I made him wait in the park. I left and got Fluttershy. When I flew her here (yeah she was nervous about going with me.) She saw Forest and her mood quickly brightened.

"Sorry Shy." I said placing her on the ground.

"It's okay Dustin. If you told me why you brought me here then I would have been more than wiling."

"Your going to find out right now." She turned to Forest who was watching the trees.

"Beautiful aren't they?" he asked.

"Yes. I'm glad you wanted to see the plants with me." she said.

"It's more than that. Fluttershy we have been together for two years now. The best two years of my life. We have a beautiful son. Your beautiful... Jeez how many times have I said that now?"

"Your going to break up with me!" She asked panicking.

"No never. Actually it's the exact opposite." He tapped his hoof on the ground making a tree vine lower.

"Fluttershy... Will you marry me?" He said getting on one knee. She was wordless. Not a word could express how much joy was on her face.

"Yes!" she screamed with tears running down her cheeks. This was probably the only time you would ever want to see her cry. I'm serious. If you make her cry tears of sorrow then I shall destroy you! If not me then she'll get her animals to /PARENTERAL WARNING KIDS SHOULD NOT BE HEARING HOW GRAPHIC THIS MAN IS/ and then she'll skull fuck you. Yeah You heard me! Skull fucking! No I'm kidding. That's more of a Pinkie Pie thing. The skull fucking not the part with the animals.

"You will!" said Forest accepting her hug and tender loving kiss. It was a sight. Everyone cheered when he put the amazing bracelet on her hoof. It was great. I knew they would want some alone time so I buggered off.

Let's see here. Static and Twilight are married. Blaze and Rainbow are about to. I'm about to with Kay. I'm pretty sure Sky and Pinkie have been married. They both have Platinum bracelets. Yeah he afforded Platinum! Like a BAAWS. I know that Dream isn't the kind of guy to just fuck you and leave so that solves the Rarity issue. Who's left... APPLEJACK! *gasp* Oh no! Fuck! I forgot her!

I took off flying back to Ponyville and found Sweet Apple Acres. When I landed It took about 2 seconds for AJ to find me.

"Dustin! You're back!" She said enjoying the hug.

"*Big Cough* Yeah. This time I'm here to stay." She got off me and pulled me up.

"Well welcome home pardner. Watcha here for?"

"I wanted to visit. See how you've been over the years."

"I've been quite good my friend. This farm has been in great luck over the past 2 years now."

"Really?"

"Business is stormin' like wild fire. Profit's good. And I hear that you asked out the pretty little Redhead." Kay is awesome! Watch you talking about Willis? She's not a ginger if your wondering. She's not a red head that looks orange I mean she has deep red hair and green eyes. And only a few freckles. It's hot! If you think she's a ginger then your wrong. She's pretty tan and has a beautiful soul. Jeez I fell like I've heard Beautiful too many times today.

"Excuse me for askin' but your eyebrow is a twitchin."

"That happens." I said. "It was great seeing you AJ." I said.

"Great seein' you too pardner. You come back now ya hear!" she said waving her hat while I flew away. AJ has freckles. I just now noticed that. So does Big Mac. Guess that's the sign of a hardworking person. I wanted to see Kay in the photo show but the bouncer wouldn't let me in.

"Excuse me sir. Can I get through?"

"Your not fashionable." He said.

"What?"

"You don't have a taste of fashion do you?"

"I need to see my wife man." I told him. He looked at my fancy golden bracelet and though about it for a moment.

"Your the stallion who asked out that hot piece of ass in their?"

"Don't flatter her."

"Kay is the best display of fashion they've had for years. Since Fluttershy but she'll never come back." I remember that episode. Hahaha.... Spike has a crush on Rarity... Oh god Spike! Forgot about him too!

"How does someone like you get to be with someone as pretty as her?" He was drooling about her. Ew...

"We've been childhood friends. One day I asked her out and she said yes."

"That's great. So If I find my best friend from my filly days and ask her out will she accept me?"

"It depends dude. You have to be sweet to her. For example Kay loves sweets. You can't be rude like you were just a few minutes ago."

"Yeah sorry about that." He let me in. "Thanks for the advice." He took off for town. I didn't really look at him. He was just this big white pony that was probably a steroid addict. I went in looking around.

"Kay! Oof... Excuse me. Kay?" I made my way through all the ponies. Where is she? I found a door that said back stage. "Aha!"

"Dustin?" she asked looking at me.

"Found you! I did something great today!"

"Oh really? What?"

"I helped Forest ask Fluttershy to marry him." I said a little bit with attitude.

"Great! And to think I'm going to be with you one day..." She was dreaming into the stars again. It was actually pretty cute.

"Kay! 2 minutes!" said Rarity walking in. "Let's get this show started." She said. I just now noticed the dress. It was long with brown and green colors in this really frilly fashion. Looked great on her! Can't help but stare now that I think about it. She does have a big flank.

"Stop staring!" she said walking into the next room.

"Sorry!" I said turning around to leave.

"Thanks for checking in on me!" she said.

"You betcha!" I left. Today has been good. Now I have to get settled and fight. This is not going to be easy tonight.

6 hours later

I was in a blimp with some other ponies. It was now dusk. The only other ponies here were Dawn, Luna, and some off her guards. Also the Chief police commissioner. In case your wandering his name is Gordon Hooffield. Yes, I'm his batman. He has too look after me. He also promised me a nice cup o' joe later.

"We're nearing the drop zone!" yelled Dawn. "Dustin I need you in their and ready to get started!"

"What are the orders?" I yelled pulling my mask down over my face. He handed me my goggles and gave me a pat on the shoulder.

"Sneak in and talk some sense into Bloodmane like we planned. Be careful. We heard rumors that Singing Blade is here and he's probably not to happy to see you." I equipped my scythes. Man I love these things.

"Alright! Wish me luck!"

"Sun speed!" he said as I ran for the edge of the blimp. When I got their I jumped with out thinking twice and nosedived to build up speed. When I got far enough Dawn contacted me.

"Alright take off." I spread my wings and began to fly at Rainbow speed. I didn't leave any signs though and unlike and other pegasus or griffon I didn't make a sound.

"Dawn. I'm in." I whispered when I was over the gate.

"Great. Air traffic is low. Most griffons sleep during the night."

"Alright then." I landed near the bottom of the tower. "Do I climb or fly?"

"Climb. You can hear through the walls can't you?" I cut on my night vision goggles and used my scythes to slowly climb up. When I got to the top floor I went in the window.

"I'm in." I told Dawn.

"Now get to the throne room." I made my way through the halls like before and got the the throne room. I opened the doors and the only person inside was the Prince himself.

"Ah! Shadow! Just the man I was thinking of."

"I came to talk to you Bloodmane." I said through my mask.

"About what?"

"Your plans for domination. Please don't do this. We can all live happily together. I see griffons and ponies together a lot. Either as friends or lovers. We are so similar."

"We are so different! Why can't you ponies understand that!"

"We do! That's why we don't want to fight."

"I see. Wise words from a wise man. How did something so good turn so bad?"

"Your plan for unification was good. Killing however is never good."

"I see. You're right Shadow. Why was I so blind?"

"Power does that. You don't control it. You feed the troll."

"What does that mean?"

"Your aging it on and should expect worst to come." I told him. He looked around for a moment.

"Now I see why Celestia trust you. You fight. You even come in here armed and ready to kill yet you show mercy. I wish to learn from this. I shall not take over this beautiful land yet, I shall join Celestia. I won't do anything else to harm you." he said.

"I then thank you. I will love to remove my mask and meet you face to face but I'm afraid we have a guest." I looked at the door.

"How long have you been there?" asked Bloodmane. Singing Blade walked in the door and had the aura to kill around him.

"I have been here for a while. We meet again Shadow."

"Blade... What do you expect to gain from this?"

"You are the first person I have ever lost to and I shall honor my families code. Kill you or die trying."

"Then quit this before you die." I told him.

"Bold words from the man who hides in the shadows." He's trying to make me lose my cool. If only their was a way around him then I could escape. He charged at me again but I did a few back flips and I twisted around giving him a hard double bucking. I learned this from watching Applejack.

"Ow!" he staggered back and fell down. I jumped over him to escape but he used his teeth to grab my tail and throw me back to the Prince.

"Trying to escape huh? Coward!" He stomped with every step he took towards us.

"Get back Prince." I pulled my scythes down and combined them making the Reaper Halberd as I dubbed it.

"Ooh... Baby's got a new toy." said Blade eying my weapon. "When I kill you. I think I'll keep it." He drew his swords and took his stance. I lifted my goggles and gave him my 'Dead Serious' stare which also gave off mixed feelings of 'I will kill you!'.

"You have the eyes of a wolf ready to kill." He said staring at me with those cold dead eyes. "I shall take them from you as well." He charged me and brought down both his swords aiming for my shoulders. I held up my halberd quickly and block him off.

"What?" was all he said before I twisted it throwing his weapons across the room and then I turned it giving him a large slice across the chest. He fell down coughing hard. I didn't mean to but I pierce what felt like his lung. "Bastard!" he said with his blood stained teeth.

"Stand down." I said kicking the swords away from him. "Your in no condition to move."

"Next time! Next time I shall kill you!"

"Come after me one more time and I'll kill you. You okay prince?"

"I'm fine my good man. You have shown me the errors of my ways, saved my life, and even showed mercy upon this revenge thirsty fool. You have my support and the support of all griffons for Celestia and Luna."

"Thank you." I said. I put Singing Blade on his side and cleaned the wound on his chest.

"Why?" he said coughing some more blood.

"Because you made me pierce a lung. I know good ponies who can fix this. WATCHER I need you to send him to the hospital to be treated and then the Dungeon for interrogation."

"Hahaha... You offer kindness in one hoof and arm the other. Wise." He said while passing out.

"He's out cold Bloodmane." I closed the door. "Celestia wants to speak with you." I handed him a walkie-talkie. I also watched as Blade was teleported away.

"Hello?"

"Hello Bloodmane! I want to thank you for stopping your evil ways and helping us keep total peace."

"I wouldn't have if it wasn't for your brave soldier here. When can I meet the man who saved my life?"

"Right now." I took off the mask.

"Shafer?"

"It's Dustin, your highness."

"Your the human from before?"

"Yes."

"Now I see why you want peace. You shall have it." He offered a hug of course which I accepted it!

"This makes us 'Bro's'' I told him.

"You betcha! Meet you tomaro?"

"At the castle. And we read the documents. Don't kill Celestia." I told him and he stopped hugging me.

"Of course I'm not killing her! Who could kill a flank like that?" He said looking at the stars.

"AAAWWWWW YYYEEEAAAAAHHHH!" I said knowing what he was thinking. He put the mask back on my head and handed me my goggles. I put them on and picked up the halberd which I disconnected it and placed the scythes to my side.

"Guards. Allow Shadow here to leave!" He yelled on the intercom. Then the doors opened and some of his guards escorted me out of the castle. When I got to the exit everyone cheered. I saw some griffons hugging ponies not in private but in public. I just spared this world of a genocide. I flew away and made my way back home. That's one bird down yet one still 'sings.'
