The look that Princess Celestia gave me, it was both shock, and perhaps surprised? Maybe because of the choice of words I used when I just found out that the father of Silver Arrow was in fact her nephew. At the moment, I couldn’t even remember if I ever told anyone that well, my father was never in my life. Well, never is a strong word, I know who my father is; I know what he looks like. When I was ten, I had met him for the first time, even though I am considered ‘white’ my father is really black. But his father, from what I was told, was in fact Asian; yeah my DNA is all over the place; maybe that’s why I’m so, as I say, mental unstable. “Beg…your…what?” she asked ever so softly as I blinked and looked back over at her; lost more in my own train of thought.

“Sorry…something I always say when I’m pissed at someone…think of it like a trademark line I say, like super heroes have…but really…are you…”

“We are sure,” she stopped me as I frowned; still hate it when people cut me off. “We ran the test three times, and seeing his age, and when Angel…’left’ the numbers add up. I have yet to speak to my nephew about this, but I plan to very soon. With Silver’s mother…gone, I believe it’s far too soon to throw more information, that he no doubt would like the answer to.”

“One being why didn’t he know who his father was?”

“One of the questions yes.” She confirmed as she sighed shaking her head ever so softly. “You must think I’m a silly princess, you are nothing more then a common folk, I barely know you other then well the feat of brave deed toward your mare friend and now this,” she waved her hoof to me. “And yet I am telling you something I have yet even told Blue Blood.”

“If I may, I feel as if I can tell you a few things as well,” she looked to me as I tried to sit up, I felt a magical grip on me, as I saw her horn glow, helping me to sit up as I smiled. “You just have this aura about you princess, that anyone if they wanted to, could tell you things they couldn’t tell anyone else. Maybe you are telling me these things because for the matter of fact, I am not a pony. And beside, I don’t judge you for what you do; unless you do something extreme like kill hundred of thousands without a reason,” she just blinked. “Just saying.”

“Point taken.” I gave her a small smile, to which she returned.

We spoke for a bit more, until she excused herself, telling me no doubt that her sister and her, great-nephew, (it would take some getting use to from her to say that) would come visit me sooner or later, even more when she would tell them I was awake and well. Bidding her a good day as she left out of my room, I leaned back onto my bed, looking up as I just started to think about what had happened. I mean really…all of this happening while I was on vacation, and even more now, come to find out that the True Humans was behind it all. I wonder what else there was that was happening, that was linked to this group. And I bet the other group, Harmony; I bet they were just having a field day with this. Celestia told me, that within the days I was in my somewhat coma, the pony who attacked me, the very same one that blocked off the exit that would’ve gotten us all to safety, laid claim that it was he who saved everyone, never once speaking of me and what he did; course not. And of course the news, being how they are, took his word as the truth, never brothering to ask the others, ether because they were too shaken up to say anything, about what they went through; or my guess fear that the Diamond Dogs would find them again.

Celestia told me that she would speak to Boulder again, seeing how he was my witness to the attack this unicorn did to me, and if both side claimed the other was lying, she would use a lie detector spell, that would make anyone speak the truth. A spell she hates to use, from what she told me. When asked what she would do, when it came back that this unicorn did in fact attack me, (which duh he did) and blocked off the exit for us, simply because I was human, Boulder, Angel and Silver being with me and placing their lives at risk. She told me simply he would be charged for a hate crime, and also stallion-slaughter, because his action to block us in caused the death of Angel. Did that really seem fair? The hate crime part yes I can understand fully, but…as much as I hated to say it, did the man slaughter charge come into play for this? I was taken out of my train of thought, when a knock came to the door, looking over, I took in a deep breath, as Nova Star, poked her head in.

When her eyes came to me, seeing me watching her, she held a small frown of sort, ether trying to hold back emotions, im not even sure, flowers were held in her mouth as she walked over, seeing a empty vase and slipped them inside, using magic to somehow bring a water like materially to what I would think, to keep the flower fresh. Sitting down on the floor, looking to me, her bottom lip quivering, before jumping up, and pulling me in a strong hug. “H…hurt!” I gasped out loud, still in some pain, but she still hugged me all the same.

“I…I was so worried…” she whimpered in my ear as she still held me all the tighter, only after a few moments did she release me, and place a kiss on my lips. When she pulled away once more, she climbed on the bed, laying beside me as she nudge my arm over her body, her head tucked into the nape of my neck. it was strange…we’ve only been a couple for maybe a few days now, my sense of time messed up for the moment because really…I did go through a lot of shit! My hand, moving down her back, her coat moving with my hand as I spoke softly.

“How are you…?” she looked up to me, as I could see the star of tears in her eyes.

“M…Me?” she spoke. “What about you?! Do you realize you’ve been knocked out for a few days?”

“I am aware of this,” I nodded my head. “Spoke to Princess Celestia for a bit, but really Nova, I’m fine…maybe a bit on the sore side, but it could’ve been far worst.”

“That’s…true,” she agreed as she sighed, simply moving back to laying along side my body, seeming to be content to where she was. My hand, softly rubbing her back up and down again, trying to sooth her worry. I tired to be as still as possible with my words, was I truly alright? Or was I saying that juts to say that, just to say I made it out without a cut on me…well, not cut as in able to see it, but mentally. I don’t know when, but I felt myself go back into a soft sleep, Nova still by my side.

“So…he is really fine?” I heard a voice speak out as I opened my eyes a crack, outside it was dark, must’ve fell back asleep and hours passed by, I didn’t feel Nova on my side, but the voice I heard… “I mean…Nova if what the news said, and even if he was there for a short time…”

“He is fine, Lyra,” Lyra…yeah, I knew she would be here, did Luna and Silver come by when I fell back asleep? Would I meet the night princess in my dreams? Maybe not, maybe she would want to see me in person. “I mean, as fine anypony can be. You saw what he was like the first day here; this is by far an upgrade then what we saw before.

“So true,” my ex marefriend muttered as I head a soft sigh. “You know, he hates hospitals right?”

“Oh?” Nova asked as Lyra gave a small chuckle, I pretended to be asleep, and I really wanted to see the relationship between these two, or hear it I mean. “Why is that?”

“Needles, oh how he hates them, I’m surprised he didn’t freak when he saw the IV in his arm.”

“Maybe he did, and he just didn’t care…lots of stuff had happened to him in the last few days.”

“Yeah…” the lime green unicorn answered before saying. “SO, you heard that Celestia jailed that unicorn that attacked him?”

“Already, I thought there would be a trail?”

“There was,” I heard the next answer come. “She used that truth spell on both Boulder and that heartless bastard. Shimmer Gem, was his name, and was in fact a part of the Harmony group, in fact a rather big time group member. He fired his best worker at his shop of selling gems, simply because he was friends with a human, the nerve.”

“To each, there own.”

“Are you defending him?”

“Of course not!” Nova hissed under her breath. “But we can’t simply force everypony to love one and another. You know how these Canterlot ponies are, looking down on everypony that doesn’t have a shred of class to their name.”

“Well, Fancy Pants and his wife seemed to have taken a liking to Brandon,” Lyra pointed out. “You heard the rumors of them trying for a child?” I nearly coughed from that, but held it back as I smiled in the darkness. Nova laughing softly.

“Seems anything in the news is taken as true…Lyra, can I ask you something, and please, don’t be mad for what I’m about to say.”

“Alright, shoot.”

“Do you love him?”

There was a small pause, not even the sound of breathing; other then my own was heard. “Why?”

“A simply question, answer it.”

“Are you demanding to know, or asking?”

“Both are in the same right now,”

“…yes I do…”

“If you try and take him from me, I’ll…”

“I may love Brandon, Nova,” I heard the venom in Lyra’s voice before she went on. “But I am not about to risk our relationship, simply for a chance to be back with him. If I could go back in time and tell my past self, don’t do it, stay with him. I would do so in a heart beat!” I heard the soft tapping of hoof on a floor, two taps then one hard; Lyra, I knew because she did that when annoyed. “Some say, that when you end a relationship with somepony, that’s it, you can’t be friends anymore, but we proved that wrong…I miss him, I love him, I want him! I can say that to your face and mean it. But that does not mean I am going to try and steal him from you Nova Star.” I heard a deep breath, before she went on. “You are lucky to have a stallion such as him. He is kind, gentle and will do anything to make you smile, yes, we fought at times. There was one time I thought he was cheating on me because he would be a little too friendly with this one mare he worked with at his place of work.” Oh god…I remember that… “He told me simply this, ‘Lyra, if you think I’m cheating with you, if you truly believe that, there’s the door. I’m not going to fight with you for something I didn’t do. I’m kind to all, because it’s my nature. You can say whatever you want about me, but that just show, you don’t trust Me.’ and he just stood there, watching, waiting.” Another pause before she ended her next line. “Brandon is a kind and sweet human, no, a kind and sweet person. He sees the world in a way other people don’t, he rarely hates anyone unless they did anything so wrong that can’t be forgiven.”

“Did you leave?”

“That’s all you got from that?” Lyra asked.

“Hey you started this story, I kinda wanna know.”

“No, I didn’t, but we didn’t speak to one another for a few days, it was more of us cooling down, before we said or did anything to upset the other to much.”

“But let me tell you something Nova,” I was surprised on how much more Lyra was saying. “I’ll be watching you, someone came after you, attacked you, or was trying to threaten you, whatever, and this just proves there is something about you, that you are not sharing. And if you do anything, to bring harm to Brandon…not even the princesses will save you from me.”

“Is that a threat?”

“That’s a promise.”

“Hrm…you’re alright in my books, Lyra…but just know this, I’m not giving him up.”

“That’s good, and I wish your relationship all the best, that doesn’t mean I’m going stop seeing him.”

“And I wouldn’t ask you to, just remember, who his marefriend is.”

I soon fell back to sleep after that, not right away, but fast enough that I didn’t hear anything else after that; if anything more was said afterward. I always knew that Lyra still cared for me…well maybe not known, known, but I knew in the back of my mind. Hell I still care about her, greatly in fact. But with her…I didn’t know it was that much. Sometimes, I would wonder, what if. What if we never broken up, would we still be together, would our relationship had worked? I like to believe so; and I guess I’m just one of the very lucky few, that can have a relationship, with their past lovers. But then there was Nova…we had only known each other not even a two week timeframe and I was already her coltfriend. Was I moving too quickly in a relationship once more? I don’t know, but I have to stop trying to compare the relationship I have now with her, to that of Lyra. I heard stories how people bring their…what’s the word…items from a passed relationship…bags? I don’t know, all I know, is that if I keep bringing up things that myself and Lyra did; I knew it would spell bad news for me and Nova Star.

Morning light, broke through the windows, the sound of birds singing, echoing from the opened window, as a soft morning breezed, made it’s way inside the room. The blanket I was given before, replaced by a much lighter and more…breathable one. I moved my arms a bit, feeling that the IVs and other such things, were removed from my arms, but I was still wrapped up. “Ah, good morning mister Casey,” I turned over, seeing the same doctor as before. “And how are we this morning?”

“Feeling much better,” I answered. “Thank you,”

“Ah, the wonder of magic and also medicine can do wonders t the body,” he spoke back as he went over to look at my charts once more. Were they same, or new, I didn’t know. “We had to be very careful, because we never combined the two on a human before…well, not to the sate you were in last night, or a few days ago I should say. The outcome looks amazing might I add. Though magic can at times be less powerful on humans, such as magical attacks, it seems magical healing, agrees with the human body; or at least on your body. Such an amazing turns of events as well!”

“Wait…I thought magic healed the wounds quickly for everyone,” I answered in a confusion like voice. “Doesn’t it?”

“Oh, no, no, no, no!” he spoke walking over and placed a hoof to my chest, thumping it once as he nodded. “You see, as you may as well know, no two pony are alike, er, humans…I mean, being, yes lets go with that, no two being are alike.” He stood beside my bed as I sat up, not feeling as much pain as I did before. “You see, there are some begins in the worlds that are nearly immune to magic, dragons, can easily shrug off an attack of a normal unicorn. Maybe because they two are magical beings, that we do not know. Dragons don’t wield magic like unicorns can do, but can do some rather amazing things all the same. Humans we found out are rather the same; you must’ve heard the rumors that perhaps in an age in your world, magic did in fact happen there.”

“Yeah, a wizard, mages, witches, the lot, I know of it.”

“Well,” he went on. “You see, as you also know, Pegasus cant fly without magic, even though they don’t use it per say, the air in our world is filled with magic. Yes in your world birds can fly and such, but as you may not have noticed, some Pegasus that can fly, their wings spans just don’t seem to add up to their body weight. And those who could fly here, can’t fly, or can’t fly as well as they can on Earth.” He took a pause before going on. “We were surprised they could fly at all, or that unicorns were not as strong in magic in your world, so we came to terms that perhaps, within the air of your world, there is still lingering magic. Perhaps as the years go by, and more and more magic is cast while on Earth. Ponies, and other magical like items or races, could become stronger and stronger!

“Of course thought,” he still went on…damn this pony can talk. “This is nothing more then just a theory.” A game theory! Sorry had to do it. “Both minds of the worlds are saying maybe within a few decades your world would give gather enough magic, that perhaps humans will be born as magic users!”

“I find that to be rather worrisome to be truthful,” I added my two cents to the talk as he looked to me. “I know that some ponies hate change, believe me I've seen it…just think on how my race would react if one day a child could light fire balls, or float objects! Both amazing and freaked out at the same time. Truthfully I think it is pretty cool, I mean hell, and I always wanted super powers when I was a kid but well…”

“You’re just worried what the outcome could be?”

“Yeah,” I nodded my agreement. “All of this, it’s just so…new. I mean, I’m talking to a freaking pony, if I was to say that to someone back home ten years ago, they would think I was dropped as a baby, or mentally crazy...or both.”

“I go for the both,” I rolled my eyes as he gave a small chuckle. Anyway, to go back to your question. You see, it seems your body, well; it seems to accept the magical force much more easily, the healing type I should mean. The attack, which that pony used on you when you were in that awful place, well it should’ve done more then just push you back.”

“What do you mean?”

“When you came in, and one of our nurses noticed a lingering magical attack on you, it was in fact a forced type magical spell, to attack and break bones; however, all that was on your body was a small burse on it.”

“Could it be because of how weak he was?”

“That, is what we also thought at first, but also remember the princesses had to break your arm a few times to fix it right. I believe, it I may say, when they were healing you, as they would any creature in this world, well, that simply healing spell, increased your bone healing, causing it to deform a bit.”

“So…what does that mean?” I asked as he nodded before then having a glint in his eyes.

“Think of yourself as a magnet of sorts,” he spoke going over to a wall that held two magnets, one side blue, the other red. “Think right now that the red side is a magical forces that can harm you,” he said holding one up, as he kept the other one on the wall. “And the blue one your body.” He pushed the two together, causing the one on the wall, (There was a board there mind you) to move away. “What do you, notice.”

“The force effect of a south and north magnet.”

“Correct, think of your body, and attacking magic, as just that!” he then flipped the one he had in his hoof around. “Now look,” he placed it right on the magnet causing them to stick…wait…I get it!

“I get it,” I muttered. “It’s well, healing magic effects me positively allowing me, when using healing like magic to heal quickly, but other magical attack could weaken it?”

“In a sense yes! Not by a lot, some many, many spells if strong enough can harm you, but your body, can lessen the blow! I say, maybe if we were to test it, I wonder if you could withstand a mind spell…bah, no matter.” He waved his hoof. Lest not worry about something such as this, lets check how you are doing!”

After checking other body parts on me, he then said. “Well, the magical binding on your body seem to be doing their job, I would say by the end of lunch, you will be all right in leaving.”

“Epic,” was all I could say as I smiled. “Anything else I should know about?”

“How about, we have that lunch outside then?”

Both of us looked over toward the door, as I smiled softly as I saw one of the first few ponies I was lucky to consider a friend while staying here in Equestria, Fancy Pants, and his wife; Fleur De Lis. Fleur held flowers in her magical hold, as the two stood by the doorway as the doctor smiled. Excusing him as he left out of the room, pretty much now, all I was doing, was waiting to be discharged. “Hey you two,” I greeted them as I moved to sit up in bed, still hurt, but again, the pain was numbing down to the point I was only wincing slightly. “How’s it going?”

“We could ask you the same thing,” the stallion spoke as his wife placed the flowers within the vase that Nova placed her flowers as well. “How are you holding up young man?”

“Oh…you know, few pains here and there, but I’m here, and fine!” I chuckled softly looking down at myself. “Quite the way to end a vacation huh?”

“Quite,” Fleur answered as the two sat down beside my bed. “The new pressed is just buzzing with the arrest of that pony who attacked you. They even came after us, asking if you were a violent human.” She shook her head softly. “Seems they were trying to find a reason for that pony, to attack you!”

‘That’s the news for ya,” I answered waving my hand. “They try to find a twist into anything, to make an even better story. News flash!” I moved my hand across my face. “Human provoked pony to attacked, who was wrongfully jailed, now suing the princesses! What a load of crock,” this caused the two to chuckle softly. Fleur, holding a hoof over her muzzle, as Fancy Pants, simply lowered his chin. “Anyway, thanks for visiting, guess you heard I’ll be leaving soon?”

“The press did as well, a new nurse let it ‘slip’,” Fancy rolled his hoof a bit, as he said it in the most, ‘yeah she told them to get some extra bit’ like voice. “Face it Brandon, for the next few weeks, you are the center of attention.”

“But what about the others those were there, why not them?”

“Seeing how they were found…just after you were kidnapped…” he answered not having to say the rest to know what he meant.

“Ugh…did humans help?”

“That’s the thing…no, they didn’t.” wait…what?

This caused my eyebrow to rise a bit, what did they mean…? “Again, many humans didn’t believe that ponies were being kidnapped, and then when a human went missing, many just thought you went somewhere else. Of course there were no proof that you were kidnapping…so seeing how they didn’t have proof,”

“They didn’t want to go in gun blazing.” But what did Luna mean when she…ugh, this is all just very confusing! Luna claimed that there were humans helping, and yet, here these two were, saying that was not the case? I sure hopped that I would meet Luna soon.

“Excuse me,” we all looked over, and as if she had radar, or something. Luna, standing at the door as she smiled softly. “I don’t wish to kick you out, but I must speak with my friend alone please.”

“Oh, of course your highness,” Fleur bowed as did her husband. “We were simply making plans with Brandon here for later. How about we wait for you in the waiting area then?” I looked over and nodded ever so softly, as the two left. After the door closed, Luna, the princess of the night sighed softly as she came over to stand beside my bed as she looked to me. Eyeing me closely and then, to my arm and leg before asking.

“How are you feeling?”

“Better,” I answered. “Thank you.” she gave a soft smile before then saying.

“I’m sure you have a lot of questions at the moment, one being of the help I claimed the humans offered; and yet…”

“Yet those two said that the humans didn’t help, yeah that came across as strange, and that was for sure.”

“Indeed.” She agreed before sighing. “Very well, I shall explain what I can.”

It seemed that Luna, in her own guard, held a, in the sense of the word, a elite guard, fifty chosen guards that even her sister knows nothing about, just as the same with Luna doesn’t know her sister chosen ones. It was a sort of system they made to keep them safe, from what I could understand. It would seem, a few weeks back, a few ex soldiers of Earth came over with their families, hearing what was going on, they had a feeling that it was the True Humans behind this. But they couldn’t do anything. Going to the princesses, Celestia declined, saying that there were just not enough proof as of yet, and that it would be foolish if they made their self be known. However Luna, she took them in, made them her guards after finding out of their skills; trackers. “I can not make them public guards,” she pointed out. “Nor could I tell you their names, Celestia doesn’t even know of this and I wish to keep it as such,”

“Why is that?”

“I am…more forward then my sister at times and our guards reflect on this. The Day Guards are more of, to the book, you could say. They want tot get it done, but done right. However my guard, when we know somepony is vile, we take action, we go to their base of doing, and stop them!” she sighed and shook her head. “A little over a week ago, they came back, of pictures of what was going on, on the outside, ponies being herded in from carts, or in chains…at one point a dead pony was taken out. We recovered the body and are now trying to find next of kin.” Fuck… “They hate dhow, the human government wouldn’t help out more, not unless it benefited them, or how they thought.” Luna sighed once more. “The human government, a good chunk of it I should say, wants to help, but again, they are worried about a single threat.”

“True Humans,” I muttered. “And they are the ones behind this, I saw two of them!”

“Yes,” she nodded her head. “I told my sister as much when I left your dreams, this is no longer just a simple hate group, this is so much more.”

We didn’t say anything else on the matter, I got my answer that I wanted and I was fine with that, I really wanted to talk to her about the rumor I heard from Boulder, about how Celestia didn’t want to have peace or try anything with the humans, but I bit my tongue; no, I think it’s best I don’t ask her that. I told her that Celestia told me of Silver’s father, being that of Prince blue Blood, Luna, nodded her head at this. Seemed those two didn’t get along quite well, and when she started to tell me stories of him, I couldn’t well blame her. This Blue Blood sounded like a spoil brat, that everything should be given to him on a silver plate, or else it is not good enough. Of course this was just her own thoughts, I would have to meet him myself (if I ever did) to see for myself.

I then told Luna of my plan, she was more then happy when she found out I was thinking of moving here, and true to her word, when I gave her the word that I would be moving, she sent a letter to her sister about finding me a home. The princess was giggly to say the least, saying how she and I would play so many video games! It was strange, considered to be a friend with one of the royal princesses, even more, how she could control the freaking moon! as soon as lunch came closer and closer, the doctor came in once more to check me out, telling me that I made a full recovery, however to be on the safe side; wanted me to take it easy. I agreed and thank him, and as we left, a letter came to the princess from her magic. “Ah, sister has returned her respond!” no doubt about the home thing. “Hrm…ah yes, it reads as followed…well I’ll give you the short version. Pretty much Celestial has a few homes that are opened, one made for human families. It’s a two bedroom with a basement for it, two floors above ground. If you want it, it is yours, the deed as well!”

“Wait…what?”

“You didn’t think we were joking when we offered you a home? Oh posh Brandon, and besides, I think you need a free home more then ever! And if you will allow me, I shall pay for your moving!”

“P…Princess…”

“Luna…” she stopped as I did too. “Please, just call me Luna, we are friends are we not?” the look she gave me…I don’t know, sadness, upset? And really…she considered me a friend, just like that. Or had she thought of this at the Gala?

“Sorry, Luna,” I answered before sighing. “Thank you for the kind gifts.” She only seemed too smiled softly once more. Before leaving the room, I might add, I was given a set of clothing, seems Fancy Pants thought ahead, and all I was wearing, was a pair of dress shoes, black pants and a white cotton shirt.

True to what I was told, and thought, the moment we came out toward the waiting area, the presses were waiting, rushing toward me, when one noticed me, causing me to groan ever so softly. Seemed they were bugging Fancy and his wife, and now, the reason they were here; was here. I noticed a video camera within the mix this time, as the light was on, me being recorded. I always did hate at times being in the spotlight, and this was no reason to be proud of. “Sir! Mister Casey, Sir!” someone called out as I groaned as flashing lights went about me, Luna tired to help shield me, but she backed away. I knew it would no doubt look bad if she was far too close to me. I didn’t blame her. “What happened, can you spare a few moments for the Equestrain Times!?”

“Is it true that you were used as a sex toy to the Diamond Dogs!?” again with the sex stuff…really?

“What do you have to say about the unicorn going to jail?” I sighed, knowing they would not leave me alone until I answered at least some of their questions, so I decided, to raise my hands up, causing them to settle down.

“I’ll say what needs to be said, but that’s it, alright?” they all seem to agree to this, which I was glad for ether way.

“I’ll start off with this, because I know how the news works, your going to blame all the diamond dogs or other bullshit like that, saying that just because they are Diamond dogs that they couldn’t be trusted. That is not true!” I wanted to really say someone helped us, but I couldn’t risk Zoe’s sister being in trouble. “Just because a group of Diamond Dogs yes kidnapped us, doesn’t mean we should shun a race as a whole, so please, do not blame all of them for this, just the ones who did this. Secondly it wasn’t them in charge, the True Humans were behind these kidnappings!” there were mutters all around as some more questions popped up. “I do not know, nor care why they are doing this, all that matters are that they are, and it’s wrong! As I escaped with a small child and his mother, that mother gave her life to keep me…and her son alive. If it hadn’t been for the True Humans, she would still be alive today!” I looked down, clenching my fists a bit before saying. “I am ashamed right now as well…that I come to find out the human government didn’t help, nor any other race? We are to be under a single banner of Unity, and yet, when nearly fifteen ponies alone I counted go missing…that’s not enough to ay something is wrong?!” I only crossed my arms, taking a deep breath before going on. “This is only what I think alright, everyone has the right to speak what they want, we may hate what some people say, but within the right of any word, we have the right to speak my mind. So let me say this right now. True Humans, you are nothing more then a low down piece of flitch, you think you are all high and mighty, but you are not. And let’s not forget about Harmony ether. Attacking humans simply because they are humans. I can understand that all of this, is a huge change and it’s scary, but this…this is not the way! You don’t like living with humans or ponies or any other race? Then go somewhere else you racists prick!”

“I dear say, Brandon,” my stallion friend spoke as we sat down at a table; the place name escaped me, as I really didn’t care at that point. “I was rather surprised by what you said,”

“Had to be said…really,” I sighed softly and then nodded. “I know the ways the news is, twisting words around to suit their needs, I remember when I was younger; my friend broke a guy arm.” The two gave me a shocked look before I raised my hand. “The news took it way out of contact, my friend is white, and this guy, who happened to be black, was bulling him over and over again. So one day my friend sort of snapped and threw him to the ground so hard, his arm broke. Let’s just say, when the news heard of this, they claimed it was a ‘white on black’ thing. Didn’t get my friend story at all, until the one who got his arm broke, his friend told the news, that he was being a bully for years.” I then added. “The news try as I say, to make something more, they don’t want the whole story at times, just little bit of pieces that could make the story even better!” I then just waved my hand, sighing softly and saying. “Sorry…I’m just so worked up now I guess…”

“No,” Fleur spoke as I turned to look at her. “You have every right to say what you wanted to say. I still can’t believe they took the word of one, and not try to get more information.”

“Ether way,” Fancy went on, as our food came along, salads and soup, as they were placed before us. “It is over, and we are happy to see that you are fine now.” I smiled softly back at them, thanking them with a nod as we started to eat.

“So…if I can ask you,” I started off slowly, not sure how to say this, I didn’t really know if the job offer he gave me was a one time thing, and I didn’t want to make him feel pressured or anything. “About that job offer you told me about before,”

“Yes?” Fancy asked looking up to me. The food we had order, had long sense been consumed, and now, dessert was offered to us, I took a cake, as well as the other two as I started to pick around it a bit. Throughout the whole lunch time, many eyes came over toward us, and I had a feeling it was because of me.

“Is it still opened?”

“Oh? But of course, the spot was made just for you Brandon,” I looked up as he smiled. “Why do you ask?”

“Well…” I said reaching in my pocket to find the letter Luna gave me after myself and the other two started off for our lunch. “The princesses had given me a home here, I’ll be moving to Equestria after I have my filing papers done, and everything moved over, and I will need a steady job so…”

“Of course!” he chuckled clapping his hooves. “But we do need a trail run, a week at most, just to see how you are,”

“Of course,” I agreed with a small nod. Fleur seemed to smile and then leaned over to her husband, and whispered something in his ear, causing him to chuckle.

“Ah, a splendid idea dear,” he gave another chuckle as the white, pink like unicorn leaned back to her seat, a small smile plastered along her muzzle. “There is also another way…for you to be sure to have the job.”

“Oh?” I asked as I reached down to take a bite out of my cake. “What’s that?” I asked before taking it in my mouth.

“Nude photos shoot with my wife.”

I spat the cake out at once, coughing and hitting my chest as the two roared with laughter, a few heads turned over to look at us as I was busy trying to breath. “WHAT?!”

“Oh, we are kidding Brandon!” Fleur giggled again as I glared at her. “But a simple photo op will be just fine, come now Brandon,” she waved her hoof to me. “You look just smashing in those! Cut the hair on your face, a little trim on your mane, and you could pass for a human prince!”

“Doubt it,” I muttered trying to clean up the mess I made.

“I don’t,” she went on. “Please just one!” her eyes grew larger, head turned slightly to the side, her bottom lip…uhhhh…god…no…no! “Just a wittle one?” she asked, her bottom lip quivering.

“I hate you…oh god I hate you…”

“Is that a yes?”

“Hate…you…ugh…”

“It’s a yes!” I placed my face inside my hands, muttering softly all the while as she clapped her hooves like a little school girl. Ugh…damn cuteness…how I hate thy.

Following what the letter sated, finding the road that led closer and closer to the castle, I wanted to see where the place I would be living was. Attached to the letter was in fact a key as well, I still had a few days left, but thought that I would leave tonight after meeting up with Nova and my other friends to tell them what would be happening. Along the way, I in fact ran into Rarity, she had heard from Lyra what had happened and decided to visit me. Or she was until I was discharged. I told her I was fine and that I would be moving here soon. She was surprised when I told her the princesses gave me the home, but didn’t seem too shocked. I told her the address and said that she knew the area, and that when I was all settled in; she would have a surprised for me. Seemed she also gotten her hooves on a cell phone, so after exchanging numbers, we went on our way.

The home was indeed what Luan said, two floors above, and a window down below, just above the ground to what I knew to be the basement. As I said before I was slightly color blind, so now thinking of it, I noticed a lot of buildings were that of white, yellow, purple like or orange. This building being one of many. It was in a shape of a L, the roof that of the purple like colors, and the trimmings or outline, golden yellow. A balcony was seen on the second floor, possible the master bedroom. The place was nice and large, too large for one person such as me, but I welcomed the space. Inside was bare…duh, I could see a fireplace off to the side, and outlet sockets for the power. The letter said I would still have some bills to pay, but I’m sure I could afford that. The echoing steps of my feet covered my ears as I looked around the first floor. The living room was large and open, the kitchen a good size as well. Going up the stairs I found a bathroom, and two bedrooms, I was right; the balcony had the master bedroom connection. I sighed as I stood in the middle of the master bedroom…leaning along the wall as I closed my eyes, still not believing what had happened within the last week and a half. I still hadn’t seen Silver, and was hoping he was okay, nor Boulder. Hopefully I could see him as well…but ether way…I was moving to Equestria…did I think it was the right thing to do? Eh, I think it’s a pretty cool thing, in a way, I’m moving to an alien planet!

Taking one bigger heavy sigh, I closed my eyes and just wondered to myself…what else will happen now?
