It had been nearly a week since Midnight had shown his true form in Ponyville. He would usually shapeshift to head into town since the entire music incident in the park. In his current form however he could walk around town and do his normal routine without fear of being bowled over by a crowd of crazy mares. His most recent transformation however was into a not so stocky stallion unicorn, his coat was a pleasant orange, while his mane was a dark black. His cutiemark however had not been changed. He had attempted to change it but it would always revert back to what it was. This had proven to become a problem on several occasions when a pony would recognize the mark and ask him about it. Most of the time he could make up a story about it to throw them off, however a few more enthusiastic mares who had seen the Alicorns mark while in the park burned it into their memory and usually took chase. Today however was different. As he made his way through Ponyville, the conversations that he listened to were starting to change slightly from what had happened in the park. Some of the stories that were being told differed from the events that had happened while others were just a complete fictional tale. He laughed inwardly listening to some of them, sometimes even asking a pony or two about what had happened. After a few hours of this however he became tired of the onslaught of stories and decided that it would be a good time to have something to eat.

He made his way to the local diner he had been to many times before. Taking his usual seat in the corner He gave a yawn as he looked out the window watching ponies go about their business.

"Hey there, can I take you order?" Plum Sweet smiled looking to Midnight in his camouflaged form.

"I'll have a pitcher of sweet tea and four daffodil and daisy sandwiches." He said as he looked to her smiling.

Plus cocked a brow at the order looking to Midnight. "That's strange, we usually have an Alicorn come in here who orders that same thing almost everytime."

'Oh shit!' Midnight inwardly scolded himself again as he looked around seeing a couple ponies looking in his direction.

"Yeah, I heard that's what he get's when he comes by here to eat. Figured I'd try it out." He smiled taking a quick glance around the diner seeing the ponies turn back around. He gave a soft sigh of relief as they did. Plum gave a shrug heading back to the kitchen to place the order.

"So." A voice behind Midnight startled him causing him to tense up. "Ya like that Alicorn to eh?"

Midnight calmed himself quickly before turning his head to see who was talking to him. Upon seeing the pony in question his jaw almost hit the floor at how beautiful this mare was. She was a unicorn with a shimmering silver coat, while her mane was a deep blue that looked like the darkened sky as the sun was setting. Her eyes were a light green giving the perfect contrast against her coat and mane. However her mane had been straightened and lay to one side of her face slightly covering it , cut at a straight ninety degree angle from just below her chin to just behind he forelegs. Her accent was rather strange though to which Midnight could not place her origin.

After gawking at her for a moment she gave a small giggle looking him in the eyes. "Cat got yer tongue sweety?"

Midnight shook himself back to reality giving her a smile. "Sorry about that." He chuckled then began again. "Yea, that guy can carry a good tune."

The mare talking to him rose from her seat bringing her food items to his table and taking a seat. She smiled to him as she began.

"Yes he can, ever since the day I heard him playing in the park I have been trying to locate him. I have seen him a couple times while he fled from a small group of mares." She giggled. "But I never got a chance to talk to him. It is rather frustrating. By the way he acts however, you would think that he doesn't like mares." She smirked taking a sip of her drink looking at Midnights expression of horror at what she was hinting at.

"I don't think he is into stallions." Midnight assured her furrowing his bro as he spoke.

"Oh?" She smiled seeing his expression change again to slight worry.

"Y-yea. From what I have heard he is in a relationship." He watched the young mares expression change to sadness before he finished. "But it's an open relationship so he has say as to who he can have fun with."

The young mare's eyes lit up at the finished comment. "Oh my! Then I may have a chance after-all." She squealed happily causing Midnight to cock a brow at her questionably.

Midnights order finally arrived during the conversation, he poured himself a glass of tea bringing it up to his mouth as he continued.

"So what type of chance are you talking about?" He asked before taking a large sip of his drink.

"I want to have his foal." She smiled widely.

"PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT! *COUGH COUGH* HOLY! *COUGH* SHIT! *COUGH COUGH*" He continued coughing as the mare came over to him patting his back with her hoof as he began to catch his breath from being strangled on the tea.

"Oh God! What the hell?! Seriously?! You want to have his kid?" He asked in shock looking at her as she took her seat across from him again, giving a disheartened smile as she sat down.

"Yea, I mean, what mare wouldn't want to have a Male Alicorns foal? There has never been a male Alicorn recorded in Equestrias history. Having one now only means one thing. That it's time to expand the equine race. Every mare in this world knows of him now and most want to have his foal. Even many of the married mares, and from what I know now from you, he can father as many foals as he wants." She smiled again.

"Yea..........about that. His current mare has placed a few rules to prevent that. You see, he can have as much fun as he wants as long as he doesn't father any other mares foals." He smiled nervously.

The mare cocked a brow at him for a moment before smiling as she placed her forehooves together on the table, placing her chin on them as she spoke. "I thought you acted a little strange." She spoke in a tone that hinted that she knew what was going on.

Midnights eyes went to pinpoints as he gulped slightly as he pressed slowly to the edge of the booths seat. However he stopped as the young mare spoke up again.

"Now now Midnight, what's the hurry?" She smiled causing him to freeze up slightly.

"M-my name isn't Midnight, that's the Alicorns name you've been looking for isn't it?" He smiled nervously.

The young mare kept her smile as she slowly moved over to the other side of the booth blocking his path. "Yes, yes it is, and you are him. In a devilishly good guise I might add. She smirked looking him up and down before continuing. "Your only flaw however is your cutiemark. Even magic can't change those." She smirked.

"What if I told you that I'm not him? You would still try to convince me and yourself otherwise?" He asked with a slight smirk.

"What if I could prove that you are him?" She grinned causing him to gulp again. "Let's fill in the blanks shall we?" As she began.

"One. You ordered the same thing he orders when he comes here. Two. You are sitting in the same booth he always sits in. Three. You said the word 'guy' instead of stallion. Four. You seem to know a lot about his mare friend."

"Fiance." He interrupted then shot a hoof up to his mouth for correcting her.

She looked at him giving a giggle. "Five. That remark. Six. Your Cutie Mark is identical to his. So please, Don't think of me as stupid." She smirked taking a sip of her drink.

Midnight placed his hooves together in front of himself placing his chin on them mimicking her previous position as he spoke.
"Alright then, you caught me. So are you going to scream out to the world who I really am?"

She gave him a coy smile as she spoke. "Now why would I do that? I've been trying to get a chance to speak with you for a while now. Don't you think it would be counter productive to let every willing mare in Ponyville know that I have located you?" She giggled looking at his confusion.

"Alright then, so am I free to leave then?" He spoke as he started to leave the booth but stopping as she raised her hoof. She gave it a little shake motioning for him to sit back down.

"Not at the moment I'm afraid." She gave a grin causing Midnight to facehoof.

"So what exactly are you after?" He asked causing her to raise a hoof as she was about to speak but stopped her quickly. "Except for knocking you up." He finished.

She gave a disgruntled sigh blowing her mane from the side of her face. while rolling her eyes. "That was just a joke." She pointed out causing Midnight to raise a brow at her. "I'm not in season for one, and two if I was then I wouldn't be thinking as clearly as I am right now. The only thing mares think of while they are in season is to have a foal, and most mares will come into season within the next few months. My heat happen in late spring. Its the first week of February now, So we have a couple months before that happens." She smirked.

"Why must I be tormented by you ponies?" Midnight groaned leaning back in his seat, bringing his hooves up and rubbing his temples only to cause her to laugh.

"And by the way Mrs........." He trailed off looking at her for a moment. "I'm sorry I never got your name." He said crossing his arms, raising his eyebrow at her devious smile.

"You can call me Vanity." She smiled giving him a wink.

His eyes went a little wide for a moment as a thought was on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't place it. "I could have sworn I knew that name from somewhere but I can;t place it." He rubbed his chin in thought looking down to the table as if had the answer. His attention was brought back to her as she gave a soft giggle.

"I think the answer you are looking for is over there dear." She smiled point to a few booths back on the wall.

After turning his gaze back to the item in question he gave a small gasp using his magic to literally tear the poster from the wall and bringing it to him so he could read it properly to make sure he wasn't mistaken. He looked from the poster to the Vanity gawking.

"Vanity Fare? The balletist? I feel like such a boob right now." He groaned rubbing his face in shame.

"A what darling?" She asked cocking her brow at the word.

"Figure of speech, I meant idiot." He said causing her to smirk. "So what does a big time celebrity like yourself want with the only male Alicorn?" He asked taking a sip of his drink.

"Oh nothing much. I get rather bored with all of the formalities of being popular. I find it more satisfying to just get out and have fun. But to do that I must find a friend who isn't there for just the money or to get a piece of tail."

Midnight coughed again from the sudden comment shaking his head.

"PLEASE! Stop doing that. *COUGH*" He groaned as a few more coughs escaped him.

"Oh but it is just so much fun choking you up." She giggled.

Midnight rolled his eyes before looking at his drink, then to Vanity, then back to his drink. Placing a hoof next to his drink he gingerly pushed it away causing Vanity to give a slight pout.

"Oh you're no fun." She grumped causing him to laugh.

"Oh I am loads of fun. I just don't think its the guy who needs to get choked up on the lady." He smirked causing her to laugh.

"That would be a problem now wouldn't it." She chuckled. "But in all seriousness, I just wanted to hang out with you and see what you were like. I have heard of your back story and how you came to be an Alicorn. Celestia herself is even carrying your foal is she not?" Vanity grinned seeing his jaw drop. "Why so shocked? That news is wide spread with her being royalty and a living Goddess. Any and all information about her is common knowledge in this day and age."

"Still that doesn't give others the right to judge her or continue spreading that information." Midnight said in an icy tone.

"My apologies, I did not mean to offend. However you seem to be true to what I have heard about you. Chivalrous and kind to no end. Always taking up for your friends as well." She smiled as she stood up from the booth, her horn glowing a gentle pink as she pulled a couple tickets from a small pouch that was tied neatly around one of her forehooves. She placed them in front of Midnight smiling as she began.

"Please do come to my show, These tickets will allow you backstage after the show as well as admittance into the Cathedral. You may bring your Fiance if you wish. I cannot guarantee that I will still be a lady though in her presence." She giggled as she turned flicking her tail gently at Midnight giving him a wink as she left the diner.

Midnight pulled the tickets up to his face looking them over. They had been autographed by Vanity and a small kiss stamped onto them as well in a small blank box. He sat there for a few minutes as Plum trotted over giving him his bill for the meal. She looked at the tickets giving a smile.

"Into ballet?" She asked as Midnight hoofed her some coins.

"Not really, but I just got them from Vanity herself. I didn't even know ponies did ballet." He cringed at what he had just said seeing Plum's face contort before laughing.

"Midnight, you are no good at holding a disguise." She giggled walking away.

*facehoof*

"I wonder what Rarity will say about this?"
