Authors Notes: This is just a filler chapter to give you guys a relative feel as to how Midnight thinks and wants to live. It is short and not elaborate. It doesn't play to much into the overall storyline but helps you 'Get-to-know' the main character.

The group of ponies had arrived at the castle in a very short time as it was only a few hundred yards from the castle itself. Rarity looked to Midnight silently asking him what the princess could want from him. He gave a shrug as they continued walking into the castle. Celestia looked back seeing their wordless conversation and decided to interrupt.

"Midnight my dear." She began as his attention came to her. He trotted up next to her as she began again. "That music you played earlier was remarkable. Was it from your world?" She asked giving a warm smile.

"Y-yes, It's from many years ago by some very, now famous, musical talents." he smiled back.

"Were they not famous then?"

"In a manner of speaking yes. Although one of the composers were deaf when he created one of the musical masterpieces I played."

Celestia stopped for a moment causing Midnight to stop a few steps ahead of her. "How is that possible that a being could create such a wonderful work of art like that and be deaf to the sounds needed to produce it?"

Midnight gave a shrug. "I have no clue Tia, sometimes greatness does not need to have an ability in order to create something that would have needed that ability in order to make it art."

Celestia placed a hoof to her chin in thought for a moment before continuing her trot into the castle, closely followed by Midnight and Rarity along with a few guards.

They had arrived in the dining hall along with several other ponies that had decided to join them. One being Princess Luna, another being Prince Blueblood, who upon seeing Rarity took the seat furthest from her at the far end of the table. Rarity gave an evil smirk at a bowl of potato salad and then to Blueblood. That was before Midnight gave her a nudge.

"You asked me to behave, now I expect you to as well." He gave a soft snort as he followed her vision and knew what she was planning. She looked up to him with a pouting lip.

"Nope, not guna work this time. You may not like him but that doesn't give you the right to continue torturing him whenever you see him. Now stop this or I'll make you apologize to him." He stated looking over to the cowering unicorn.

Rarity gave a soft gasp of disbelief looking at Midnight, then to Blueblood, then back to Midnight. She gave a huff gritting her teeth as she whispered. "Alright."

Midnight gave her a smile turning back to the Celestia but stopped as he watched Rarity move her hoof from her eyes to him then back again. He gave her a quick prod causing her to giggle then snap her attention back to him giving him a dirty look. He smiled doing the same gesture that she did causing her to cover her mouth to stifle a laugh. He just smiled before turning his attention back to Celestia.

"So what's the occasion Tia?" Midnight asked looking to her as she had just finished taking a bite of food and swallowed.

"Well my dear, I have some good news that you are a part of as well." She smiled happily causing Midnight to cock a brow in interest. "You are going to be a father of a healthy baby boy."

*THUD*

"Midnight?!" Rarity squeaked seeing the out cold Alicorn on the floor with a smile spread across his face. Rarity quickly grabbed a cup of water splashing it on his face causing him to bolt upright gasping.

"HUH!? WHA!?" he shouted looking around seeing everyponies smiling faces. Including Prince Blueblood who came over and gave him a hug.

"I am going to have a baby cousin! This is fantastic news." Prince Blueblood smiled happily.

"Yes, another young prince will be born. I simply cannot wait to see the young one." Rarity smiled dabbing her eyes gently with a napkin to soak up the welling tears.

"Tia, I..... I am beyond words. I cannot express how happy I am to hear this." Midnight smiled as tears streamed down his face.

"I am as well my dear. I had also wanted you and Rarity here so that I may ask her something as well." Celestia smiled catching Rarity's attention.

"Princess?" she asked, curious.

"I will be holding a baby shower in a few months and would like for you to help host it." She smiled.

*THUD* Rarity hit the floor out cold, a wide smile across her face this time.

"I am beginning to think that they have something that could be contagious." Prince Blueblood mumbled to no pony in particular.

Celestia gave a soft laugh as Midnight pulled Rarity upright fanning her face until she awoke.

"Oh.....MY! Princess I would love nothing more than to help host the baby shower." Rarity squealed with glee causing her to laugh again.

"Thank you my little pony. I look forward to the event. However in the meantime. Midnight?" She said looking to the dark Alicorn catching his attention again. "Would you do me the honor of playing us a song?"

Midnight puffed his chest out proudly. "I would be honored." He smiled giving a bow as he trotted toward the grand piano just across the room. He sat down, his horn glowing as it did before in the Cathedral, manifesting tangible ethereal hands over his hooves. He lowered them to the piano as the song began.

After the song ended Midnight turned to everypony seeing them in tears, even Celestia was crying with a weak smile adorning her face. He stood slowly trotting over to Celestia and gave her a gentle nuzzle then to Rarity doing the same.

"That was beautiful darling." Rarity spoke in a broken tone as the tears fell from her face. Midnight leaned down kissing her gently.

"Midnight my dear, would you like to have the honor of composing or playing music in the Cathedral on a regular basis?" Celestia asked waving a hoof for him to come over to her.

Midnight made his way back to Celestia giving a nod. "If that means I could have a job doing something I love to do then by all means. Yes I would be honored in playing there for everyone."

"Huzzah!" Luna shouted causing everypony to giggle at her enthusiasm.

"So when would you like to start?" Celestia smiled looking to Midnight as she spoke.

"I get to choose when to start?" Midnight asked in a rather shocked tone.

"Yes my dear. Are you not aware of how musicians work?" Especially those that play in esteemed theaters?" She asked looking at him with her head slightly tilted.

"Not really. I've always just played music for fun. It wasn't until recently that I felt the need to pump out a few tunes." He laughed nervously causing Rarity to roll her eyes at the remark.

"Well, in either matter you are free to schedule a concert at the Cathedral anytime you deem appropriate. Please remember to plan them at least a month ahead and schedule a time that will not interfere with other musicians." Celestia smirked at seeing Midnights smile.

"This has got to be the best thing to ever happen to me!" Midnight laughed.

"This has got to be the worst thing to ever happen to me!" Midnight groaned looking over all of the paperwork for his first scheduled performance in the Canterlot Music Cathedral. He was taking his time going over the paperwork and gawking at how much it was to actually rent the Cathedral for a single hour. It had also a minimum charge for three hours in place.

"I'm just Lucky that my first performance is free so that the revenue I get can go toward renting the Cathedral for a later date." Midnight sighed as he tossed the papers back onto the desk frustrated.

"Well darling. Fame does have its perks once your name has gotten out." Rarity swooned at the thought of her fiance becoming a celebrity.

"You know, after all the crap I have been through in life, I never once thought of being pulled into another world and becoming a celebrity by playing the music that other artists created in my home world here. I am not only ecstatic, but shocked beyond belief as well. This has been a nightmare and dream come true all rolled into one." He chuckled.

Rarity came over to him with a questioning look on her face. "You mean to tell me that the music you played before was not your creations?"

"Nope, Its all from my world. Like I said before, I love to play music. I don't really have the talent to actually write any." He sighed.

"That's fine darling. It shouldn't matter since the music is from your home world. Just don't let that slip out and you should be making more fans and money than you can handle."

"That's another thing I'm afraid of. I don't want to have all of that. I'm perfectly content with my current lifestyle. I mean look at it. I'm engaged to the most beautiful mare in Equestria." Rarity blushed furiously at the comment. "My fiance has given me permission to have an open relationship. I have wonderful friends. I am in fantastic relations with a Goddess of the sun and moon. I will be a father soon, albeit with a Goddess but DAMN! I have the ability to use magic and to fly. And to top it all off I am a freaking ALICORN! Just this alone makes me happy. I shouldn't need anything else. I actually don't want anything else. The only reason I'm doing the theater thing and playing music for money is to have enough money to help support you and myself. This.............. this is all to much." Midnight gave a sigh falling to the floor letting his legs and wings fall limply into a sprawling pose. He actually looked like a giant piece of roadkill that was set ablaze on the floor of the boutique.

Rarity trotted over to him laying down next to his head as she spoke. "Darling, nopony is forcing you to do these things. If you want to just stay here at the boutique and help me with my work I would be more than happy to have you. Just remember to not push yourself. You may be an Alicorn right now, but deep down in that big heart of yours is the human that came into this world. I am perfectly content at the moment. I could not have asked for a better life. Well, except for being extremely rich and popular." She giggled causing Midnight to roll his eyes at her. She reached out a hoof giving his should a playful nudge. "Oh come now. I have always wanted to be popular and live in Canterlot among all the sophistication. I just happened to fall into the arms of an Alicorn in the process of doing so is all." She giggled giving his nose a quick kiss.

"You are too much at times." Midnight laughed raising his head and looking at her with a cocked brow.

"I know, but you love every minute of it." Rarity teased.

They began to move to each other for a kiss but stopped as Sweetiebelle walked into the room. She gawked for a moment before pulling a hoof up and covering her eyes.

"Proceed." she giggled.

Midnight and Rarity smiled giving each other a little kiss then pulling apart.

"Alright Sweetie it's over." Rarity smiled causing Sweetiebelle to lower her hoof with a relieved sigh. She began walking toward the kitchen when Midnight called out to her.

"Sweetiebelle." He spoke, watching as she turned around, just as she did he reached up and kissed Rarity again.

"EWWWWW EW EW EW!" Sweetiebelle groaned running into the kitchen causing them to laugh loudly.
