Although the two weeks with Rarity had been short lived, she and Midnight had become a lot closer. She had filled him in on their appropriate relationship status and also to whom either of them could have fun with. Rarity had given him permission to have fun with any mare he wanted with the exception of those in heat, and ones that were out to make him theirs. Any that just wanted to have a nightcap would be fine. The same was said for Rarity, although there was a very small amount of stallions in Ponyville, Midnight had little to worry about.

This day had gone like any other. Waking up to breakfast, eating, and going out to explore this new world. Midnight was currently flying high above the world, watching everything below. After a quick landing on a small cloud he watched over the edge at the world below.

Ponies of all kinds went about their business as usual. Many going to the market to sell goods, others to shop. Parents took their foals to the park to play since the snow had yet to start to fall for winter. The air brought about a slight chill to Midnight as he lay quietly on that cloud. It was roughly around noon in the day, the sun at its peak in the sky warming everything below. The winter clouds could be seen in the distance as they were making their approach toward Ponyville. It would be another few days before Ponyville would see any snow and Midnight had planned on having plenty of exploring done during that short time.

"Well well, What do we have here?" A feminine voice spoke out from behind Midnight as he lay on his cloud, his ears perking up as he turned to see who was talking.

"Princess Luna?" Midnight smiled nodding to the night princess.

"Midnight, how good to see you again. We must admit that it has been a while since we had last seen you. Although it could have been under better circumstances." Luna looked away feeling pang of shame and hurt in her chest.

Midnight gave a heavy sigh looking away in shame. "Luna, I know our last encounter was.................. bad. But believe me when I say this. If I could relieve that moment and fully control myself, I would never had done the things I did. I only hope that in time you can forgive my actions."

"Thou has already been forgiven. Although still a painful memory, know that we do not hold a grudge against thee." Luna smiled settling in next to Midnight on the cloud.

Midnight gave a disheartened smile as the memories still plagued his mind but managed to brush them away for the current time being.

"So what brings you out Luna? Is Tia getting on your nerves today with her pregnant mood swings?" He laughed.

"In a way you are correct. As of late she has been getting strange food cravings that I find to be........... rather disturbing. It makes my stomach turn just thinking of them." Luna rolled her eyes thinking back to when Celestia had a craving late on night while she was roaming the castle after raising the moon.

"Let me guess, pickles and ice cream." Midnight smirked causing Luna to look at him sticking her tongue out in disgust.

"UGH! Please do not remind us of such a travesty. Something so bitter and sour with something so sweet and cold. The mixture is like........... like."

"Night and day?" Midnight finished causing Luna to laugh.

"Precisely."

They shared a laugh thinking of other strange food combinations that Celestia may end up trying during her pregnancy, Making a small list as well, for Luna to take with her so that she could surprise her sister just to see if she would actually eat them.

"Midnight, doesn't thou have any plans for the day? I hope that sitting on a cloud all day watching the ponies below was not thou's plan." She smirked causing Midnight to laugh.

"Well honestly, I had planned on flying around to take in the sights. I've only been in this world for a couple months now and I have yet to fully grasp all of the details and cultures that are part of it. However if you have something in mind I have no problem tagging along if you'd like." Midnight gave a wink to Luna who blushed from the attention.

"Well we had planned to play a few pranks today on some of the guards but have been finding it rather difficult to find a lone guard in order to do so." Luna rubbed her chin with a hoof thinking of all of the guards routes during the day.

"Best bet would be to split up a group of two if you can't find a lone guard." Midnight smirked causing Luna to smile.

"Or better yet, play the trick on multiple guards at once. I'm sure they would get a kick out of it." Midnight laughed thinking of a few pranks he could play.

"What an excellent idea. We usually play pranks on a single guard at a time, due to most of the pranks not working on more than just one. That or one of the other guards will see the prank unfold before it has a chance to fully activate. It is far easier on the castle staff than the guards, but................ not as fulfilling as the guards. Luna exclaimed,

"I can understand why the guards are so hard to prank. They do protect the castle, as well as your sister and yourself. So they are prone to keeping an eye out for any type of danger, be it small or large. I would suggest finding a new group of ponies to try and prank." Midnight smirked.

"But, we do not like pranking anyone that we do not know. What would be the point if we could not have a laugh together?" She asked while thinking of other select individuals to prank.

"Well, there is always the elements to prank. I'm sure Pinkie pie and Rainbow Dash would love to help you prank someone. Me on the other hand, I'm usually spontaneous when pranking others. I'm no good at planning pranks." Midnight laughed rubbing the back of his neck with a hoof sheepishly.

Luna sat there for a few minutes contemplating what Midnight had said. After finally smiling she had come to a conclusion on what to do.

"Midnight, we thank thee for thy help. We shall go find a preferable target to play a prank of, as well as speak with the elements of loyalty and laughter about mine pranks.

Luna gave a gentle nod to Midnight as she leapt from the cloud taking flight into Ponyville below.

A short time past as Midnight had now found himself heading to Rainbow Dash's cloud home. He smiled seeing the large cloud home come into view as he round a few large clouds in his path.

"Quickly landing at the door he gave a quick knock on the door which in turn sounded more like a couple of pillows hitting each other.

"I'll get it Dash." A voice from inside resounded.

The door opened revealing a griffin as the one answering it. Midnight cocked an eyebrow at the griffin.

"Can I help you?" The griffin said with an annoyed tinge to her voice.

"I was looking for RD, is she available?" Midnight gave a smile.

The griffin cocked an eyebrow looking back over her shoulder to speak. "Hey dash. Some big dude is at the door. Want me to let him in?"

"Some big dude?" RD asked poking her head from around the corner, her face quickly breaking into a smile

"Midnight!" She shouted quickly barreling him over onto the cloud floor outside of her home giving him a hug.

"Wait, this is Midnight?" The griffin spoke in a rather shocked tone.

"Yea, He is waaaaaay cool Gilda. Dare I even say a rival to my coolness." She giggled giving his shoulder a playful punch.

"So this dude broke mach ten huh. Pretty impressive. You can't even do that Dash." Gilda prodded causing RD to pout.

"Yea well you can't even break mach one." RD stuck her tongue out at Gilda who just rolled her eyes.

"Yea yea, big woop. I may be into speed, but when it comes to yanking my feathers out from the sheer drag of the wind, I think I would prefer to not be naked as a jay bird." Gilda laughed.

Rainbow Dash looked to Midnight smiling. "So what brings you here Night? Twilight and Rarity finally run you off?"

Midnight grinned giving Rainbow a wink. "Yea, they got tired of me. Kicked me out. Thought i'd drop by to see if I could crash on yer couch."

"What?!" Gilda shouted in surprise. Looking at the two.

"Yea Gilda, I forgot, I never told you that Night and I are sort of an item." Rainbow gave a hidden wink to Midnight who knew to play along.

"Seriously Dash?! Your joshing me right?" Gilda back peddled a little in surprise.

RD looked up into Midnights eye's as he looked into her's. They moved closer, eyes starting to close, lips parting as they were about to kiss they stopped looking at Gilda from the side who had her talons up to her face in what seemed to be horror and awe mixed.

RD and Midnight separated falling over laughing at Gilda's expense. Gilda in turn fell over giving an angry sigh.

"UGH! I swear Dash, when am I going to learn when your just pranking me. That was so not cool." She laughed giving RD an accusing glare.

Dash laughed walking away from Midnight back into the house. "Nah, you don't have to worry about him and me being in a relationship. We're just fuck buddies."

Midnight and Gilda both fell over at the comment. Both saying "WHAT?!" in unison. Rainbow turned looking at them both before falling over laughing. Gilda and Midnight face palmed/taloned/hoofed whatever.

After sitting around for a bit getting to know each other Gilda finally got up from her spot on the cloud couch. "Hey you two, care to go grab a bite with me? Midnight's paying." She smirked looking back to Midnight who just smirked back cocking an eyebrow.

"I'm paying huh? Even though you invited us." He laughed getting up from his spot on the floor.

"Psshhhh, Yea, Your the dude after-all. Its yer duty to treat us ladies when we go out to eat." She laughed opening the door nodding to Rainbow.

"Yea Midnight." RD added giving a smirk.

"Well, I don't mind treating ladies to a meal." Midnight spoke watching the two smile at each other. "Can you two show me where a couple ladies might be though? I don't see any here." He raised a hoof to above his eyes as if looking around and into the distance.

"Hey!" They both yelled at him in unison.

"Just kidding." He laughed as he exited Rainbows house. "Gilda is much more girly and ladylike than you Dash." He laughed launching himself into the air. Rainbow fell over laughing at the comment, Gilda groaned puffing out her feathers in annoyance.

Midnight turned looking at the two. Gilda face palming while Dash rolled on the clouds laughing.

"You two slowpokes coming?" He smirked getting their attention.

"SLOWPOKES?!" They yelled taking off like bullets and buzzing past Midnight who tumbled over himself in the air.

"Ill show you slowpoke." Gilda laughed. "Last one to the Marshmallow Diner pays." She then took off toward Cloudsdale Rainbow hot on her heels. Midnight smirked flapping hard and catching up with them but staying just behind the two as they flew neck and neck.

They arrived in Cloudsdale within a few minutes, The girls laughing and breathing hard, Midnight chuckling at the two.

"So why didn't you beat us Night? I know you're way faster than either of us." Dash laughed as she caught her breathe.

"Yea, what gives?" Gilda smirked as they walked toward a booth taking a seat.

" I was enjoying the view to much to want to beat you two." He smiled picking up a menu.

The girls cocked their heads to the sides looking at him.

"Enjoying the view? What in the world does that mean?" Gilda asked looking from Midnight to Dash who was blushing and hiding behind a menu.

"Dash?" Gilda leaned over whispering to her. "What did he mean by enjoying the view?"

Dash smirked still blushing. "He was flying behind us." She giggled.

It took Gilda the better of ten seconds to finally understand what he meant before shouting at Midnight.

"You were looking at our asses?"

Midnight fell out of the booth laughing while Gilda tried to hide in the corner of the booth as all eyes fell on her shouting.

After the fit of laughter Midnight pulled himself back into the booth. They looked over the menu for another minute before deciding on what they wanted to eat. A yellow Pegasus with pink hair came up to the table. "Can I take your order?" She spoke as she pulled the little order pamphlet from her apron placing it in her hoof then putting a pen in her mouth to write with. She looked up as the three looked back to her in slight shock.

"Fluttershy? Dash and Night asked in surprise.

"Oh..... Hi everyone. I didn't know you three would be coming here today. What brings you by?" Fluttershy spoke softly but happily seeing two of her friends. She withdrew a little seeing Gilda who just smirked at the timid Pegasus.

"Well, I didn't know you worked here Shy?" Midnight smiled causing Fluttershy to perk up slightly giving a warm smile.

"Oh yes........ I'm working here part time to make some bits to take care of all my animals. It costs a lot to keep them fed healthy and happy." She beamed feeling a sense of accomplishment.

"Well I'm proud of ya Fluttershy. Working hard to keep all those animals happy is beyond cool." Dash commented giving her friend a wink causing her to blush.

"Yea yea, working to keep her pets happy. How about we place that order?' Gilda groaned hearing the sappy story.

"Oh........ sure, Might I suggest our special.... If that's ok with you?" She recoiled slightly.

After placing their order Fluttershy left to take the order slip to the kitchen. Another ten minutes past as she brought the order out to her friends. She had decided to take a her break to set with her friends and see what they were up to. Dash and Gilda sat next to each other so the only open spot was next to Midnight. She gave a slight squeal as she sat next to him, trying to avoid eye contact.

"So what are you three up to today? It's surprising to see you here." Shy smiled, listening to them intently.

"Well Night dropped by while Gilda and I were playing some video games. We sat around for a bit talking till the talon queen here decided she was hungry." Dash motioned to Gilda who sputtered while drinking.

"Hey, you two agreed to come along." She smirked.

"Only because you volunteered me to pay for the meal." Night smirked causing her to face-palm again.

The three laughed at Gilda's expense.

"Ugh alright already. let's just finish up and go for some flight practice." Gilda groaned taking a bite of her sandwich.

Fluttershy got up heading back from her break to continue taking orders. The three finally finished getting up to head out. Midnight waited until Dash and Gilda had left before placing a tip on the table for Fluttershy. He walked up to the counter to pay, as he was about to exit he passed Shy stopping to talk to her.

"Hey Shy, Don't forget to get your tip I left you." He smiled making the yellow Pegasus smile at him. As he exited he walked back toward the direction of where the trio sat. He looked into the window seeing Fluttershy's shock expression as she noticed five gold bits on the table. She looked up to the window seeing Midnight smiling at her. She gave a large smile taking the bits and placing them into her apron then trotting happily back to the kitchen with the dishes from the table.

After locating his two flying friends they had made way to the Cloudisium to practice. Despite a few other ponies there they had more than enough room to try out some aerial stunts. Midnight sat watching the two perform stunt after stunt. It fascinated him as to how either of them could do half of the stunts they were doing.

Rainbow stopped for a moment flying down to Midnight as she caught her breath.

"Hey night, aint ya going to join us?" She asked breathing hard.

"I'm more of a speed demon than a stunt flier Dash. Besides, without someone to watch you perform stunts, who then would tell you how cool you looked doing them?" Midnight smirked giving her a wink. She smiled flying up to him and giving his nose a kiss.

"You keep sweet talking me like that and we may have to crank it to mach eleven." Dash smirked flying back up to join Gilda in several stunts she was pulling.

'Fuck buddy indeed Dash." Midnight chuckled to himself watching her fly away.

Another hour of watching the two stunt fliers had made Midnight a little tired. He sat there watching them until her heard a loud scream coming from behind him. He looked back just in time to see a orange and purple blurr latch onto him face.

"Uncle Midnight!" Scootaloo shouted rubbing her cheek against his forehead just under his horn.

"Scoots, what in the world are you doing here?" He laughed as she climbed up his face resting on top of his head.

"I heard Rainbow Dash was here practicing, so I managed to fly up here to watch." She smiled happily watching Dash flying around.

"And what was the scream for?" Midnight laughed looking up at her as she leaned on his horn.

"I just thought i'd try and scare you. Hehe, did it work?" She giggled.

"Oh yes, that was the scariest moment in my life." He nodded exaggeratedly causing Scootaloo to bounce on his head making her laugh and holding onto his horn.

"So other than watching RD fly around like I have for the past several hours, What have you been up to?" He asked causing her to smile.

"Well I heard what Sweetiebelle and you did the other day to those two bullies. I laughed my flank off after hearing it. At first I didn't think it was true but when I ran into them in the market they were greener than grass. At first they were angry that I was laughing at them but they just stopped and began to talk to me like they were my friends. They said they were sorry for everything they had said and done to me Sweetiebelle and Applebloom. They even offered for us to come along on a trip to the circus next week in the park outside Ponyville. Although I still don't trust them, they are at least trying to make amends for being so rotten to the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Scootaloo spoke, exaggerating several different emotions as she did.

Midnight couldn't help but smile remembering how Sweetiebelle shook those two fillies in the air almost making them loose their lunch.

"Hey scoots, You want a snack? Cause im kinda hungry for some cotton candy." Midnight grinned causing the little orange Pegasus to launch off his head to in front of him, hovering with a big smile across her face. He couldn't help but laugh seeing her face as he stood up.

They made way to the concession stands getting a drink and some treats. Making their way back to their spot in the stands to watch Dash and Gilda flying about. Scootaloo sat on Midnights head munching on a cotton candy that was as big as she was. Midnight floated her drink and his alongside them with a bucket of popcorn. They took a seat watching the two daredevils in flight. Scootaloo gawking at how awesome her mentor was while flying, ever so often taking a slow bite of the cotton candy.

After a short while Scootaloo had managed to eat all of the giant cotton candy all that remained was a white funnel that was sticky around the rim. She smiled looking at midnight and quickly placed the funnel over his horn she giggled as he looked up then to her giving a smirk.

"Ok you, get that thing off my horn." He laughed as his horn began to glow making his horn invisible but leaving the cotton candy funnel still visible.

Scootaloo laughed then pulled the funnel from Midnights head gasping as no horn was there.

"AAAAAAH!" She screamed. Midnight looked up seeing his horn missing and screamed back. They then both screamed at the same time.

Scootaloo looked inside the funnel in a panic before ripping it apart to try and find Midnights horn. Midnight began to laugh seeing her expression of shock before making his horn visible again.

"HEY! That was mean!" Scootaloo pouted latching onto Midnights face again.

"Awwwww, I'm sorry. I won't do that again." Midnight smiled giving a chuckle.

Scootaloo stuck her tongue out at Midnight before scrambling up to sit back on top of his head again to watch the fliers.

After another twenty minutes Gilda and Rainbow landed next to Midnight and Scootaloo.

"Wooooo, that was some awesome flying Gild, We should get together again sometime to practice some more." Rainbow smiled

"Sure thing Dash, I'm guna head on home. Take care of yourself alright?" Gilda smirked flying off.

Rainbow waved to her friend turning around to see a orange and purple blurr attach to her face.

"RAINBOW DASH!" Scottaloo squealed happily holding onto Dash for dear life.

"Squirt?! How did you get up here?" Dash asked as she detached the sugar filled filly from her face.

"I can fly now! Not very well but just well enough to get here!" Scottaloo beamed.

"That's pretty impressive. Now all you have to is practice and you can hang out with me while I practice." She smirked causing the little filly to squeal happily.

Rainbow smiled then looked to Midnight dropping the smile and cocking her eyebrow.

"Uh...... why do you have cotton candy all over your horn?" Rainbow smirked.

Midnight deadpanned looking to Scootaloo who just giggled.

"Apparently a little filly thought it would be funny to make me have a pink horn." He gave a smirk at the end of his sentence causing Scootaloo to laugh louder falling over.

"I can take care of that." RD grinned evilly moving forward and licking the length of Midnights horn before he could say anything causing him to tense up. He looked around to see if any other ponies had seen what had just transpired. Noone was looking at him and Scootaloo was just getting over her fit of laughter. He looked up to Dash mouthing the words, 'Your evil.' to her making her shrug with a smile plastered across her face.

"Alright you two. How about we head home. I'm sure your both tired and it is getting rather dark." Midnight stood looking tot he sky seeing the orange hue from the sunset along the clouds above the Cloudisium.

"Awwwww, but I wanted to watch Dash some more." Scootaloo groaned.

"I am kinda tired squirt, How about we meet up here next week for a session together?" Dash smile causing Scootaloo to bounce happily around her.

"Alright ladies, lets head on back then. Scoots your at the mast. Dash your on deck." He smirked shaking his head at the word mast and ruffling his wings at the word deck.

"Aye Aye captain." They both saluted with a giggle climbing onto the huge Alicorn.

After a short flight to Dash's house she gave him a kiss on the nose before going into her home. He smiled back to the now sleeping bundle between his wings that was Scootaloo and decided it would be far easier not to wake her by teleporting to Ponyville.

A quick flash of magic and he was at Scoots home handing her over to her parents and making his way back to the boutique. It had been another long eventful day and he was about to make it home when suddenly tons of water balloons began smacking him and exploding. He looked around to see Pinkie Pie and Luna tossing them at him.

"Ha HA! The fun has been doubled!" Luna laughed as they chased Midnight around tossing more balloons at him until they had been depleted and he was soaked.

'Yes, another eventful day' He laughed......... Until tomorrow anyway.
