Late in the night, Celestia had written letters to the girls in Fiery’s harem, telling them of the changes that had happened to him and what to expect. She sent her guards out in the morning with the letters to the appropriate homes so the girls would also be able to be escorted back to the castle right after of reading the letters.

Early in the morning, Octavia had woken up in Fiery’s bed, expecting him to be there. As she awoke, she saw that Fiery wasn’t in the bed. ‘Huh, I wonder if he went downstairs, was sweet of him trying not to wake us.’ She got out of bed as she walked around it slowly, trying to not make any noise for Vinyl. She had opened the door to the room and began to walk downstairs, looking for any signs of Fiery. She first checked the kitchen to see if Fiery was there, but he wasn’t. She then started to walk around the rest of the house, wondering if he got curious since he hadn’t seen it yet.

After walking around the house and checking it twice, Octavia started to panic as she wasn’t sure what to do. ‘Where is he? Did he go and leave? No, he wouldn’t do something like that, right? Didn’t he say he loved me?’ She began to become more and more nervous as she started to let her thoughts get to her. As she was walking back up the stairs to Fiery’s room, she had convinced herself that Fiery had left in the night, never to return.

She rushed up the rest of the stairs and ran into Fiery’s room to wake up Vinyl. She quickly opened the door up, ran to the side of the bed that Vinyl was sleeping on and began to shake her awake. “Vinyl! Get up Vinyl! Fiery’s gone!”

Vinyl grumbled a bit before finally responding. “Gimmie five more minutes…”

“Now Vinyl, Fiery’s not here!”

Vinyl finally woke up very slowly as she opened her eyes, seeing a frantic Octavia as she did. “Who’s a what’s a now?” She said while yawning.

“Fiery’s not here!”

Vinyl finally got up into a position so she could scan to room as well. After doing so, she turned back to Octavia. “So he’s not, he’s probably downstairs.”

“He’s not though! I checked downstairs and there wasn’t any sign of him there as well!” Octavia said in a panicked voice.

Vinyl put her hooves on her friend’s shoulders and tried to calm her down. “It’s okay ‘Tavi, I’m sure there’s nothing wrong, maybe he just went out for a walk or something.”

Octavia began to calm down slowly as Vinyl was right, right? There would be no way he would up and walk out on them. As she rescanned the room, she noticed that his stuff was still there. This had proven to her that he didn’t leave her. She looked back at Vinyl and finally calmed down entirely. “Thanks Vinyl, I just…”

“I know ‘Tavi, but don’t think he’s like that, I don’t think he’s the type to just run out after he gets what he wants.” Vinyl smiled at her friend as she brought her in for a hug. “It’s okay ‘Tavi, he’s not going anywhere.”

“I-I guess Vinyl… Thanks…”

“No prob’ ‘Tav, now come on, let’s go down and wait for him to come home.” She broke the hug off to smile once more at Octavia, who smiled back.

“Alright Vinyl le-“ But she was cut off as the front door had somepony knocking on it. “Who could that be?”

“Who knows? Maybe Fiery accidently locked himself out somehow?”

“I guess…”

Octavia and Vinyl began to walk downstairs as the knocking didn’t stop. “I’m coming, I’m coming! Hold your tail!” Octavia called out to her guest as she walked to the door. As she opened it, instead of expecting one of her friends or even Fiery from accidently locking himself out, was instead one of Celestia’s personal guards. Octavia was shocked at this, thinking one of them did something illegal, why else would one of Celestia’s guards be here? But she stayed calm. “Yes? May I help you?”

“I’m sorry to disturb you ma’am-“ The guard spoke. “But I’m here for a Ms. Octavia Pie and Ms. Vinyl Scratch.”

“Y-yes, I’m Octavia Pie… I-is there something wrong sir?”

“No ma’am, only here to inform you that one Mr. Fiery Embers was brought to the castle last night, for what reason I was not told, but what I was told is that you and Ms. Scratch, as well as some others that are also being picked up as we speak, are going to be brought to the castle for the weekend, as order of Princess Celestia. She also asks you to bring Mr. Embers guitar for him for the party hosted by one Fancy Pants later today.”

Octavia stood there speechless as Vinyl came up behind her. “Did I hear right ‘Tavi? Did he say we get to spend the weekend at the castle?”

“I presume you are Ms. Scratch?”

“The one and only!” Vinyl said while grinning.

“Then you are correct. You and Ms. Pie here, as well as ten others, are to be spending the weekend with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.”

Finally, Octavia was able to find her voice. “E-excuse me for asking Mr…”

“Just call me Steve.”

“Steve… Right… Well, excuse me for asking Steve but, who is Fiery Embers? We only know of a Fiery Strings.”

Steve only shrugged his shoulders. “Princess Celestia told me that he was the stallion from this address, living with one Ms. Pie and one Ms. Scratch.”

‘Why in the world would he change his last name from Strings to Embers? And what would the Princesses want with him?’ “A-alright… I guess my other question for you is who are the ten who will be staying with us at the castle?”

“The Elements of Harmony, one Ms. Redheart Winters, one Ms. Aloe Nefertiti, along with what I’m guessing is her sister, Ms. Lotus Nefertiti, and finally one Mr. Fiery Embers.”

“Alright, I guess that answers that…”

“Is there anything else I could answer for you Ms. Pie?”

“Um… Is there anything we need to bring?”

“All I was told was for you to bring Mr. Embers guitar. If there is anything else that you wish to bring, that is fine as well, as we have plenty of space in the carriages.”

“Carriages? Why more than one?”

“One for you and one for Ms. Scratch.”

“I see…” Octavia said as she then turned around to talk to Vinyl, but saw Vinyl was already to go, having three suitcases full of Octavia’s dresses, her cello, Fiery’s guitar, his Iphone and laptop, and finally her DJ set. “H-how in the world did you get all of this so quick?”

“Easy, I did it while you were talking to Steve here.”

“I-I-I… I give up…” Octavia said with a sigh as she facehoofed herself. She turned back to Steve and spoke to him once more. “I suppose this is all we have Steve.”

“Very well Ms. Pie, and because of your luggage, and because I’m sure you’ll want to sit in the same carriage, we will be setting the luggage in one of the carriages and put you and Ms. Scratch together in the other.”

“Very well Steve, that sounds nice.” Octavia replied to him in the nicest tone as possible to him. She began to walk outside in the fresh morning air, the sun barely up in the sky, with Steve and the other guards bringing the luggage to their carriages. Suddenly, Steve had come up behind here to give her one more thing.

“Excuse Ms. Pie, but I forgot to give you this right away.”

Octavia turned around to face him and took the letter he had dropped in front of him. “Oh, thank you.” She picked the letter up and used her hooves to open it. She began to read it immediately.

Dear Girls of Fiery Embers Harem,

I’d like to apologize to you as Fiery is not the stallion you thought him to be originally. This is why, as apology, I have invited the six of you to the castle for this weekend for a wonderful weekend, and if you need, I will allow you to be excused from work on Monday as well so you can have time to get back home and such.

When you six arrive at the castle, Fiery will be there waiting for you with Princess Luna, but I must tell you now, as he will not look the same as before. His form will have changed completely, and I hope you are able to still accept him for who he is. He is very special to both myself and Princess Luna, and that means that for whoever is special to him, is also special to us.

I hope to see you at the party this evening, and I hope you have fun at it.

Your Favorite Princess,

Princess Celestia.

As Octavia got done reading the letter, Vinyl came up behind her. “Hey, what’s that?”

Octavia handed the letter to Vinyl, who began to read it immediately. “It’s about Fiery.”

Vinyl stayed silent for a while, reading the letter, and as she finished reading she spoke. “What do you think she means he’s special to the two of them?”

“I don’t know…” Octavia said in a depressed tone.

Vinyl sensed her friend was sad because of the letter and immediately began to try to cheer her up. “Hey, hey, just because he’s special to them doesn’t mean you’re no longer special to him. In fact, I think he still has you as number one in his heart.”

Rather than turning around and arguing further, Octavia didn’t care anymore. “Yeah, sure, whatever Vinyl…”

Vinyl felt bad for her friend, as she had no idea what to say, so she said the only thing she could think of. “Come on ‘Tavi, let’s go, the only way to figure out the truth is to talk to him directly.” With that, Vinyl started to push Octavia to the carriages, where shortly after, they started to fly off in the direction of the castle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the castle, Fiery had just woken up. Getting up slowly, he opened his eyes to see Luna still there sleeping, and began to creep out trying his best not to wake her up. After he got out of the bed, he walked around it to the balcony that was connected to the room. He slowly opened the door and crept out, still trying his best not to wake Luna, then slowly closed the door shut.

Fiery went over to the railing and took a deep breath of the crisp morning air. He exhaled, trying to figure his emotions out at the same time. Last night, he had a dream about all of the girls. All of them were there, Luna, Vinyl, Redheart, hell, even Pinkie was there. Yep, all of them were there, all except one, Octavia.

As he was thinking about his dream, Celestia had seen him out on the balcony as she was coming back from her daily flying routine, trying to stretch her wings out before she had to start work for the day. She landed right next to him. “Good morning Fiery.” She only got a grumble in return. “And how’s my cute little nephew doing today?”

Fiery sighed once more. “I’d rather not talk about it.”

“Oh, why not?”

“Because, I’m not in the mood.”

“And why’s that? Luna stiff you last night?”

“Haha, very funny. No, she didn’t. It’s about something else…”

“What?”

“As I said before, I’d rather not talk about it.”

Celestia wasn’t about to give up, so she thought of something that she tried to cheer up Fiery with. Her entire body began to glow, and within a few seconds, her form began to change. In place of her being a horse, stood a human woman, one that looked like a supermodel, with multicolored hair, going down to her behind. After her body stopped glowing, she spoke to Fiery once more. “And what if I’m in this form?”

Fiery looked over to see a naked woman standing there. He cracked a smile and began to chuckle as Celestia stood there. “And what is this?” He asked while laughing.

“Well, if you won’t talk to me in pony form, I thought that maybe you would talk to me in human form.”

Fiery continued to laugh as he looked at Celestia. “If I didn’t know it was you Celestia, I might have pounced on you. Not safe for a woman as pretty as that standing in the open naked. And what’s with those breasts?” He pointed a hoof at her chest. “What are those? B’s? C’s?”

“D’s”

Fiery only shook his head, still laughing. “Jesus, you really know what a man wants, don’t you?”

“Well if you tell me what’s bothering you, I might let you touch them.”

“No thanks, I’m good. And I’d rather not talk about it.”

As he continued laughing, Celestia walked up behind him, and then wrapped her arms around his neck, her chest lying on his head. “Not even if I do this?”

Fiery started to finally calm down as he responded. “Alright, you can stop playing your joke now Celestia.”

“That’s ‘Aunt’ Celestia, and whoever said that this was a joke?”

After finally stop laughing, he asked her. “You’re not going until I tell you, are you?”

“Nope.”

Fiery sighed. “Fine… But I want you to stay the way you are now.”

“Perverted are we?”

“Hey, I’ve never had something like this happen to me before, no matter how many times I’ve had sex. Let me enjoy it while I can.”

Celestia giggled a bit, then agreed. “Very well Fiery, I agree to stay like this, but only if you tell me what’s bothering you.”

“Fine… Last night, I had a dream.”

“A sexy dream?”

“I… suppose. Why should that matter?”

Celestia shrugged her shoulders. “Just curious. Was Luna in it?”

“Yes.”

“Was I in it?”

“No.”

“That’s too bad. Continue.”

“Alright. Anyways, the dream was about all the girls I guess I have feelings for.”

“What’s so bad about that?”

“Well, if you let me finish more than one sentence, I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it.”

“Oh alright, sorry.” Celestia said while rolling her eyes.

“Thank you… Anyways, the dream was about all the girls I have feelings for. All of them except one.”

“Me?”

“No.”

“Twilight?”

“What does she have to do with this?”

“I thought you liked her?”

“God no.”

“Alright then, if it’s neither of us, then who?”

“… Octavia…”

“Why wasn’t she there?”

“I don’t know… That’s why it’s so troubling. Everyone else I loved was there, all except her…”

“What do you think happened to her?”

“I don’t know… Is it because I’m in love with the rest of the girls that she isn’t there?”

“Well perhaps you should ask her.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, she is arriving by carriage in what I guess is maybe an hour.”

“I thought she was taking the train?”

“If she did that, the two of you wouldn’t be able to spend that much time together, and be able to clear something like this up, now would you?”

Fiery thought about it for a moment before responding to her. “You knew I was going to have that dream, didn’t you?”

“Mmm, no. Now, you should get washed up and get something to eat before it’s too late.”

“What about you?”

“I need to get ready as well, then I have to attend some meetings, then after that I’ll be attending the party.”

“You were invited?”

“Of course, I’m the Princess after all.”

“So you can walk into any party you want? Kinda stepping over the line, don’t you think?”

“Not really. Anyways, to change subject, I think a certain blue alicorn wishes to talk to you.”

“Wha? What do-“ But stopped as he turned around to see Luna standing there, leaning against the doorframe with the door opened. “Luna!”

“’Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is nothing but sharing.’ Isn’t that what you told me last night?”

“Yes?”

“Well if that’s true, don’t you think that Octavia should learn to share?”

With that said, Celestia changed back into her pony form and spoke to them once more. “Well, I can see you two want to be alone, I’m going to go now.”

“Wait! Cel- Aunt Celestia! Whatever! Come back!” Fiery called out for her as she flew away. “Crap.” With Celestia now gone, he was forced to talk to Luna. “Luna, darling, the most beau-” But he was stopped as Luna put up a hoof.

“I’m not mad Fiery, and I feel your concern.” Luna began to lower her hoof after she spoke.

“You do?”

“Of course, if somepony is special to you, then they’re special to me as well. If you’re afraid of losing her because of what you remember, then I’ll help you try to win her back, if she’s upset that is.”

“Luna…”

“But what makes you think she’s upset at all?”

Fiery turned back to the railing and started to lean on it again. “I don’t know… But for some reason, I just feel like she won’t trust me anymore…”

Luna walked up to Fiery and stood beside him. “I don’t think that at all… What does she have to not trust you anymore? It’s not like you lied to her.”

“But that’s the thing, I do feel like I lied to her.”

“Why? Because Celestia locked your memories away? Because you’re really 1,000 years old?”

“Because I met you before her… Because…”

“Because your human and pony emotions are fighting with each other.” Luna finished for him.

He looked up at Luna with a confused look. “Huh? What do you mean my human and pony emotions are fighting with each other?”

“I say that because your pony emotions are saying to love me as well as Octavia, but your human emotions are telling you that you should just stick with Octavia, lest you repeat history.”

“Wha? What do you mean?”

Luna sighed. “Celestia told me the first day you got here, about your human history. She told me of how your father walked out on you and your mother. How you don’t want to be anything like him.”

“But what does he have anything to do with how I feel about Octavia?”

“Because, you feel like you’re him, I’m his mistress, and Octavia is your mother. It’s not about you lying to her or not having all your memories, it’s about what place she holds in your heart.”

“And where would she take place in my heart?”

“Number one.” Luna said calmly.

Fiery looked at her again with another confused look. “If that’s true, you’re taking this all extremely well.”

Luna sighed. “Trust me Fiery, right now I feel like picking you up and flinging you off the balcony you have no idea how much this is tearing me apart inside.”

“But I don’t want it to tear you apart… I want you all to be happy… To love you all equally…” Fiery sighed. “I just want us to all live together, with no troubles, with no problems…”

“But problems like these are going to come around once in a while, that’s one of the problems of harems. Who’s more important than candidate A? Is it B? Or is it C? You might to try to treat us all equal, but sometimes it won’t turn out that way.”

“So what do I do then?”

“Tell her how you feel about her.” Luna said to him softly, and then kissed him on the cheek. After she finished, she spoke once more. “Now come, we need to get ready for the Elements of Harmony and your harem’s arrival.” She stop leaning on the railing and started to walk back to her room.

Fiery turned to speak to her as she was walking away. “Wait, the Elements of Harmony are coming?”

She turned back around to face him before going back to her room. “Of course, they’re attending the party today, didn’t I or anypony else tell you?”

“No, nopony told me anything, only that I would be playing after Octavia and Vinyl.”

“Well, I guess you know now. Now come on, let’s get bathed and eat.”

“O-okay.” Fiery began to follow Luna, unsure if it was alright for him to do so.

As they got into the bathroom, he saw that the ‘bath’ she was talking about was a bath that ended up taking nearly half the room, then again, the room itself was about the size of a normal size house. ‘Geez, think you need this much bath space?’

‘So I am able to relax and swim around if I want to? Yep.’

‘Crap, you can read my mind after all.’

“Is that a problem?” Luna asked back to him, getting into the water as she spoke.

“No, but don’t be surprised if I think of some dirty things.”

“Very well then, I won’t.”

The two of them spent about fifteen minutes in the bath, then got out where four castle ‘housekeepers’ or ‘maids’ as Fiery thought, were waiting for them with towels. After being rubbed down, the two went down to the main eating hall where Celestia was at to eat breakfast.

As they sat down at the table, Celestia spoke out. “So you two, did you make up?”

“Tia, it was nothing like that.” Luna called out to her sister.

“Luna helped me figure out my thoughts and my feelings.” Fiery answered Celestia.

“I see. Then you know what to do then?”

“Indeed C- err, Aunt Celestia.” She smiled as he called her that. “I’ll try to talk to Octavia as soon as possible. Hopefully I’ll clear up my mind and my feelings myself next time.”

“That’s good to hear Fiery. Now, I believe our food is coming out.” Celestia replied to him, and as she said, three plates full of hay bacon, prench toast, hash browns, scrambled eggs, apples, oranges, and to drink was chocolate milk.

“Wow, this is…”

“Is there something wrong with the food Mr. Embers?” The housekeeper who handed out the food asked. A smoky brown pegasus mare, with crimson red mane and tail, wearing a prench maid outfit, covering her Cutie Mark.

“Oh no.” Fiery told the housekeeper. “Nothing’s wrong, really. It’s just… I haven’t had such a large meal in such a while, that’s all. Took me by surprise.”

“Very well Mr. Embers, if there’s anything else we can do for you, don’t hesitate to ask.” The housekeeper replied. She bowed and then left with the tray she had brought the plates in with.

As the three of them began to eat, Celestia spoke up. “So Fiery, how did you enjoy your sleep last night?”

Fiery had put down his fork that he was holding with his magic, since he had remembered how to, and replied. “You mean despite the dream?”

“Yes.”

“It was alright I suppose.” He had turned to Luna to continue. “But it was nice having somepony there next to me while I slept.”

Luna began to blush as he said that, and continued to eat to try to hide her embarrassment, resulting in her choking on some of the hash browns she ate too fast. “Are you alright Luna?” Celestia had asked.

Luna nodded, pounding her chest with her hoof, trying to clear her throat. Finally, after a while of pounding and drinking some chocolate milk, she replied. “Y-yes, sorry sister, ate a little bit too fast there.”

“That’s good to hear, would be an embarrassing way to go out, choking on some thinly sliced potatoes.” Celestia told her little sister. Luna looked at Celestia with a glare. “But anyways Fiery, is there anything you want to ask me?”

“Like what?”

“Mmm, I don’t know, maybe like how I’m doing?” She looked at him while putting her front two hooves on her chin while putting her elbows on the table.

“Alright… How are you doing today Aunt Celestia?”

“Fine.”

“Fine… What?”

“Just fine.”

“Right… But I guess I do have another question for you.”

“Oh? And that is?”

“What are you going to be talking about tonight? After the party and such, the reason why you’re bringing everyone here.”

“I have to agree with him Tia, just what are you up to?” Luna added.

“Well if I told you two now, it wouldn’t be a surprise, now would it?” Celestia asked back.

“Really? Nothing?”

“Nope.”

Fiery sighed. “Alright…”

After the three finally finished eating breakfast, Luna showed Fiery the way out to the carriage docking area where everypony would be coming in from. It was a large spacious area, with pegasi flying all over the place. The guards saluted Luna and Fiery right away as the two walked to where the carriages would be coming in. Just then, two golden carriages could be seen coming in from Ponyville.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Octavia and Vinyl had spent most of the time in the carriage completely silent. Vinyl tried to get Octavia to speak a few times but failed each time, until she decided to finally give up. After an hour of flying, Steve the pegasus had called out to them. “We’re getting close to Canterlot now madams. You can see the castle from here.” He yelled out as he pointed with his hoof to the Canterlot castle.

It was true, as they got closer, Octavia and Vinyl could make out the castle. “Wow, that’s a really big place, eh ‘Tavi?” Vinyl asked her companion. Complete silence. “Oh come on ‘Tavi, you gotta speak sometime! I’m sure it’s just one big understanding, that’s all.”

“I just don’t want to talk about it Vinyl, leave me alone.”

“No can do ‘Tavi, we’re almost there, and Princess Luna and Fiery are going to be there waiting for us. You can’t greet them if you’re completely silent, can you?”

Octavia let out a sigh of frustration, then turned to Vinyl. “Fine Vinyl, we’ll play it your way.”

Vinyl grew a large grin. “Glad to hear it ‘Tavi.” The two of them had finally touched down to the carriage plaza as they saw Princess Luna standing next to a crimson red unicorn. “Who do you think that is ‘Tavi?”

Octavia looked up to see who Vinyl was talking about and saw the red unicorn. “I don’t know, maybe her boyfriend?”

“I think… I think that’s-“

“Mr. Fiery Embers, or so Princess Celestia told me this morning.” Steve finished for her. “You ladies can go meet him while we get your things out of the carriage.”

Octavia stood there stunned for a moment. ‘Fiery…? Is that really you?’ She got out of the carriage right after Vinyl and the two of them began to gallop up to the princess and the unicorn. As they approached they bowed to the princess.

“Hello you two, it’s good to see you two again.” Princess Luna greeted the two of them.

“Same your highness, but I must ask, is this?” Vinyl replied to the princess, pointing a hoof at the unicorn.

“Um… Hi girls.” Fiery said to the two of them as their jaws dropped.

After being shocked for a while, Octavia had finally found her voice. “F-f-fiery! What in the world!?”

“It’s… It’s a long story ‘Tavi.” Fiery responded to her while rubbing the back of his neck.”And what I told you two from before might… Not be the entire truth…”

“So you lied to me?” Octavia asked in an angered tone.

“No! No, ‘Tavi, I didn’t! Honest. Everything about me being human and all that is true, it’s just... there are some other things I’ve recently remembered as well about being a pony…”

“What is that suppose to mean Fifi?” Vinyl asked him.

“He can tell you two later, before the party. But for now, we have some more guests to greet.” Princess Luna told the two of them. “The guards will be showing you where your living quarters are going to be, so you can follow them.” Luna pointed to two guards waiting for Octavia and Vinyl, with a bag carrier carrying all of their things.

“I’m really sorry about this girls, if I could, I would tell you right now and such but…”

Octavia sighed. “Its fine Fiery, we understand… Come on Vinyl, let’s not hold up those guards.”

“B-b-but ‘Tavi! Fiery! Red! Unicorn!” Vinyl tried getting out an entire sentence but couldn’t as she was pointing at Fiery with her hooves.

“Now Vinyl!” Octavia nearly screamed at her friend in anger, which caused the other three to recoil.

“A-alright.” Vinyl responded, still a little bit scared of the now angered Octavia.

The two of them went and began to follow the guards as Fiery and Princess Luna stayed back. As they finally got out far away enough, Fiery nudged Luna. “Alright, alright, I was wrong, she is pissed.”

“So…?”

“So what? You want to go talk to her right now?”

“If I could, it would be better to let her know sooner rather than later, otherwise it would affect her work.”

Luna sighed. “I suppose you’re right… You can tell the rest of the girls later, but for now just focus on her.”

“Thanks Luna, you’re the best.” He leaned in on her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Yeah, yeah, now get going before I change my mind.” With that, Fiery began to run off in the direction of where Vinyl and Octavia went, asking the guards on the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Octavia and Vinyl had finally reached their room, and with the help of the guards, brought all their stuff in. Right as they got in, Vinyl tried to speak to Octavia. “’Tavi… He really must have a reason for looking different.”

“It doesn’t concern us Vinyl.” Octavia said back in a bitter tone, her back turned to her.

“’Tavi… He loves you, you know that. If he didn’t why would he want to stay with us?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because he only loves you.”

“That’s a lie and you know it ‘Tavi! Listen to yourself! Just because he looks different doesn’t make him any different. He’s still the same loveable Fiery on the inside.”

“And you know that’s a lie!” Octavia turned around to face Vinyl, tears streaming down her face. “They’re all the same damnit! Every single stallion!”

“’Tavi…”

“He got what he want, and now he’s done with me, I just know it! The Princesses brought him here just so he could live in luxury while we’re down there in Ponyville trying to make ends meet!”

Vinyl grabbed Octavia and started to hug her. “Octavia Mary Pie, that’s a lie and you know it. He loves you. He wants you to be happy. If he didn’t, then why would he even bother showing his face to us?”

“To rub it in my face.”

Before Vinyl could answer that, there was a knock at the door. “Damnit… Go away please!” She called out to the visitor. “We’re… We’re getting dressed!”

“Vinyl? Is ‘Tavi there?” Fiery’s voice called out from the other side of the door.

“Fiery? Um… Yeah, just one sec.” Vinyl let go of Octavia and began to walk to the door to open it. Before she was able to open it, a hoof was holding her back. “’Tavi?”

“Please Vinyl… I don’t want to see him…”

“Can I please come in you two? I… I want to apologize to you two.” Fiery’s voice came through. “Apologize for why I wasn’t there this morning, and for why I look like right now.”

Vinyl gave Octavia a stern look. Octavia only looked away with tears still streaming down her face. She let go of Vinyl and then turned her back to the door, so Fiery wouldn’t see her with tears still streaming. Vinyl opened the door to see the red unicorn standing there. She lifted her hoof up, signaling him to come in. As he came in the entire way, she closed the door behind him, and then was the one to start. “So what’s with the red… and the horn… and the Cutie Mark.” She said to him as she took a curious position of leaning her back on the door with her front hooves crossed.

Before answering that question, Fiery looked at Octavia. “’Tavi… Please look at me ‘Tavi, I want to apologize.” He could hear her sniffling.

“Apologize? Apologize for what?” She got as she was still crying and sniffling.

“For not telling the whole truth…”

She finally turned around to him, revealing herself, and asked him. “So you were lying to me?”

“No, no I wasn’t. It’s a long story.”

“Then why don’t you tell us Fifi? We have time.” Vinyl spoke up.

Fiery looked back at Vinyl and nodded. “Alright, I will… I guess it has to sorta starts with Princess Celestia and my mother…” He began to tell them of his entire history. How he was really a unicorn born 1,000 years ago, to having his memories locked, to falling in love with Luna, to almost getting married to her, to being reborn as a human, and finally ended on how it was now, almost taking an hour to tell the entire story. “I know I fucked up ‘Tavi, but… I love you… I really mean that…” He ended.

Octavia had stopped crying a while ago as she listened. As he finished, she began to think. ‘Should I really forgive him? Does he really love me?... There’s only one way to find out.’ “That’s quite a lot Fiery.” She said, trying to be nonchalant.

“I know ‘Tavi, and I’m sorry if you felt like you were being cheated on or anything like that, but know that I really do love you.”

“How much?”

“…Scusi?”

“I said how much do you love me?”

“Uh…” ‘Shit shit shit, I love both Octavia and Luna just as much! But I can’t tell her that I love her more than Luna, because then if Luna finds out she’ll kill me! I-‘

“Who do you love more Fiery? Me or Luna? I’m waiting.” Octavia said in a more commanding tone this time.

“Uh… I… Love you more?” He smiled, trying to play it off.

Octavia raised an eyebrow. “Is that true? Or are you trying to save your own skin?”

Fiery sighed. “Alright ‘Tavi, I won’t lie… I love you and Luna the same. If I could say, you two would be my most loved girls.”

“And Vinyl?”

“She and Fluttershy would be right below you two.”

“Sounds fine by me.” Vinyl said from behind him, grinning.

“Vinyl?” Octavia called out to her friend.

“Yeah ‘Tavi?”

“You mind leaving me and Fiery alone for a while?”

Vinyl continued to grin as she got the message. “Sure thing ‘Tavi. I’ll just leave you two love birds alone.” With that, she opened the door that she was leaning on and walked out, closing it behind her.

“Wha… What’s this all-“ But Fiery was cut off as Octavia leaned in to kiss him.

As she broke it off, she spoke once more. “Not now, we’re wasting time.” She smiled at him and pushed him onto the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luna was still outside waiting for the other arrivals as Celestia had come up behind her. “I thought you were busy doing your duties?” Luna asked her elder sister.

“I got a small break. Enough of that though, how did Fiery talking to Ms. Pie go?”

“He was alright, she was upset. He went go talk to her right after she and Ms. Scratch left for their rooms.”

“I see, and the other arrivals?”

“So far only the other girls have shown up. They all asked me where Fiery was at and all I could tell them was that he was busy settling some problems. I told them they could meet him after the party when he’s done playing.”

“I see, and the Elements?”

“Only the Element of Kindness and Laughter has shown up, I suppose they got here first because of the whole being a part of his harem and such.”

“Well the Element of Laughter isn’t yet, but from what I can tell, she will be soon.” Celestia said with a smile.

“Whatever, I don’t care what happens, so long as he pays attention to me.”

“And I’m sure he will Luna, now cheer up, it seems some more of the Elements are coming.” And as Celestia said, the last four carriages were flying in, all with the Elements of Harmony in them, except for one. That one had the Element of Loyalty tied down to the carriage.

As they touched down, Twilight was the first to approach the princesses. “Princess Celestia!” She called out to her mentor, rushing up to her and bowing. “And Princess Luna, it’s good to see you both.” She said in the most polite way possible.

“As it is to see you as well my student, but I must ask, why is the Element of Loyalty strapped down in her carriage?”

Twilight looked back at what Princess Celestia was talking about and began to giggle. “My guess your highness, is that she wanted to out-fly the guards, so they had to strap her down before she could get away.”

Celestia began to giggle as well. “Oh, I see. Well Twilight, I must ask, how is your research with Fiery going?”

Suddenly Twilight stopped laughing and turned back to Celestia. “Uh… It’s… been complicated.”

“Oh? How so?”

“Uh…”

“Tia, stop teasing her already, you know full well how it’s going.” Luna interjected, saving Twilight from the embarrassment. “Besides, you didn’t bring the six of them here for that.”

“Oh alright Luna.” Celestia sighed, having her fun ruined by her little sister.

“Speaking of the six of us, where are Fluttershy and Pinkie? I don’t see them anywhere, have they arrived yet?”

“Yes they have young Sparkle, they’re inside as we speak. If you follow the guards who have your luggage, they will show you to your room.” Luna pointed in the direction of some guards who were holding Twilight’s belongings. “If you need anything, please ask one of the housekeepers or guards, and they will serve you to the best of their abilities.”

“And look at you Luna, telling her something she already knows.” Celestia teased her younger sister. Luna only rolled her eyes.

“It’s alright Princess Celestia, I know Princess Luna only meant well.” Twilight smiled at Princess Luna, who returned the smile. “And I can’t wait to hear what you want to talk to us about this evening.”

“Yes, neither can I.” Luna said under her breath.

“What was that Luna?” Celestia asked.

“Nothing. Now, if you don’t mind Ms. Sparkle.”

“Ah, yes, sorry. It was nice seeing you again Princess Luna, I was somewhat worried when you didn’t return home last night.”

“I’m sorry to have worried you Ms. Sparkle, but please understand that my sister needed me for something important. Now, if you two will excuse me, I have some other business to attend to.” She announced to the two of them as she turned around and walked into the halls leading back to the castle as Celestia and Twilight stood there, continuing to talk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vinyl was walking down through the halls as she had to wait for Octavia and Fiery to finish up their business in the room which was also the room that Octavia and Vinyl were sharing for the weekend. As she was walking, she began to see a hyper pink pony jumping up and down through the hallway. She called out for the pink pony. “Pinkie Pie!”

Pinkie stopped jumping and turned her head behind her to see Vinyl walking up to her. “Vivi!” She started to bounce Vinyl’s direction after saying her name, getting closer to her with each jump. Pinkie had finally jumped right in front of the white mare, and stopped, bouncing in place. “What’s up Vivi?”

“Eh, nothing much, just waiting for the gig to get started I suppose.”

“OhmygoshIknowright? I’m so excited that I just can’t stop bouncing today!” She said as she took another leap into the air. As she came back down, Vinyl tried calming her.

“Hang on Pinkie, I know you’re the main party pony and all, but no need to get THIS excited.”

“And why not Vivi? I mean, you, Fifi, and most important, my sister are going to be playing at it! What’s not there to be excited about?”

“Well, I suppose if you put it that way…” Vinyl put a hoof to her chin to think about it for a second, before seeing Princess Luna walk down the corridors as well. “Oh hey, look Pinkie, Princess Luna.” She used the hoof she was using on her chin and pointed it in the direction of the princess.

As Princess Luna was walking down the corridor, she spotted a white unicorn mare with what seemed to be the Element of Laughter pointing at her. As she approached she was about to speak when the Element of Laughter turned into a pink blur and pounced her, screaming “Woona!” as she did it.

As Pinkie tackled the princess, about six guards surrounded the two, pulling out swords and pointing them at Pinkie. Vinyl rushed up to the guards trying to explain. “Whoa there boys, it’s alright, she’s just being friendly, that’s all. No need to be violent here.”

As tight as Pinkie was holding her, Luna was still able to speak to the guards. “It’s alright men, it’s as the mare said, she’s just being friendly.” The guards lowered their weapons and went back to their posts as Pinkie began to loosen her grip on Luna.

As she finally let go, Pinkie spoke to the princess. “I missed you so much Woona! I never thought I’d see you again!”

‘Woona?’ “Ahem yes… Wait, didn’t we meet just a few minutes ago outside on the landing platforms?”

“Oh silly, I mean meet like this!” Pinkie said as she brought Princess Luna in again for another hug. After loosening her grip on that one, she talked to the princess once more. “I never got to apologize for how I acted at Nightmare Night last year. I’m sorry for making everypony afraid of you.”

Pinkie began to put on a sad puppy dog face for the princess, which caused Princess Luna to crack a smile. “It’s alright young Element, I know now you meant no harm by it. Though, I’d appreciate it if you told me before hoof if you’re going to do something like that again, so something like last year doesn’t occur again.”

“Done! And just call me Pinkie Pie, Pinkie, Pink, or Pinkamena Diane!”

“Alright then Pinkie, I will… And I forgot to say, it’s very nice seeing you as well Vinyl.”

Vinyl had put on a large grin for the princess as she responded. “Indeed it is Princess, and I must say, I’ve heard quite a few things about you and Princess Celestia since last I met you two.”

“Oh? I don’t see how that’s possible, considering we only met an hour ago.”

“And in that hour, Fiery told us the most interesting of stories.”

Luna smiled as she rolled her eyes. “Very well Ms. Scratch, you got me. Yes, what Fiery most likely said is true.”

Pinkie began to look back and forth between the two, completely confused. “What are you two talking about?” She asked.

“You haven’t seen Fiery yet, have you Pinkie?”

“Nope!”

“Well, I would offer to take you two to him, but he’s currently having a private session with ‘Tavi.” Vinyl said to the two of them with a large grin.

Pinkie only rolled her eyes. “Geez, can’t she calm down for one day?” This caused Vinyl to begin laughing.

“I don’t think you have any right to say that Pinkie.”

“Hey! I resent that!”

Luna coughed to get their attention. “Ahem, if you don’t mind me asking, just what is he doing with Ms. Pie that needs to be private?”

Pinkie and Vinyl looked at each and then began to smile. “Oh, I don’t think you should know Princess.”

“Yeah! What Vivi said!”

“And why not?”

“Because it might be too much for your innocent mind.” Vinyl said jokingly to the princess. Luna did not appreciate this.

With lightning coming out of seemingly nowhere, it struck behind Luna as she spoke. “And I would like for my subjects to not treat me like children!” She yelled at the two with her Royal Canterlot Voice.

As Pinkie and Vinyl went flying back, along with some guards who were unfortunate enough to be there standing, Vinyl was able to get up and apologize. “I-I’m sorry Princess, I was just having a little fun! That’s all! I didn’t mean anything by it! If you want, I can tell you, honest!”

“Then spit it out!”

“A-alright! Um… They’re…”

“They’re what!? I’m waiting Ms. Scratch!”

“They’rehavingsex!” Vinyl blurted out as fast as possible, bowing down at the princess in fear.

“Sex huh…? See? That wasn’t so hard.” Luna said in a much calmer voice.

Vinyl opened one of her eyes that she had closed while she was bowing to look at the princess. She began to straighten herself up as she spoke once more. “You’re… You’re not mad?”

“And what reason would I be?”

“B-b-because!” Vinyl stammered. “Y-you and Fiery, 1,000 years ago, relationship.”

“Yes… I can understand why you would think I would be upset Ms. Scratch, but do not worry, I am not that bitter.”

“B-b-but!”

“I am a little upset that he would focus on doing such things in the middle of the day with Ms. Pie, but he is a free stallion and can do what he wants, with whomever he wants…”

Vinyl stood there stunned from the answer she had received for a few moments before speaking again. “Alright, who are you and what have you done to the real Princess Luna?”

Luna rolled her eyes and sighed. “Very well Ms. Scratch, I admit… I am a little upset about what’s he doing right now. The reason is because he has yet to touch me in such ways, but I do not blame him, as we had no idea about our pasts until last night. We did not have the time or strength last night to do anything and we have yet time to do anything since, as well as our past we barely had enough time together.”

“Waaaaait wait wait, back up.” Pinkie spoke up. “What’s this about Princess Luna and Fifi?”

Vinyl looked at Pinkie and smiled. “Come on Pinkie, let’s go back to your room and I can tell you all about it.” She turned back at the princess and bowed. “Princess Luna.”

Luna nodded her head in recognition. “Very well Ms. Scratch. I am needed elsewhere anyways, and I’m probably late, but do take care. As for you as well Ms. Pie.”

“Hey! I said-“

“Pinkie.” Princess Luna smiled at Pinkie, correcting herself.

Pinkie put on another smile and brought the princess in for another hug. “Bye Woona.”

After the hug, Pinkie and Vinyl went back to Pinkie’s room to discuss about Fiery while Luna went on to her ‘business’, a.k.a. going to sleep until the party. After the three left the area, a new voice emerged. “Hey Sunny.”

“Yeah Solar?”

“Quite a conversation to have in the hallway, huh?”

“Eeyup.”

And with that, the two guards in the hallway stood silent once again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the rest of the day, until the party, nopony had really seen each other. They were all in their rooms getting ready for the party that was to start at night. Before the party had started, Celestia had come to the room that Fiery was staying in, also known as Luna’s room, to speak with him. “Fiery? Are you in there?” She asked through the door.

She heard hoofsteps come to the door with Fiery finally opening the door a little bit for his head to stick out. “Ah, um.”

“It’s alright, you can call me Aunt here, nopony but the guards are here right now.”

“Alright, Aunt Celestia, what can I do you for?”

“Actually Fiery, I wanted to speak with you before the party. May I come in?”

“Oh, yes, of course.” Fiery opened the door all the way and allowed for Celestia to come in. As she went in, he had closed the door behind him. “So what can I do for you Celestia?”

“What did I say?”

“Oh come on! Each and every single time?”

“Yes.”

“Ugh, fine… What can I do for you AUNT Celestia.” He asked her as he began to walk over to the bed where his guitar was that he had gotten earlier from Octavia.

“Actually I came to talk to you about the party.”

“Mmhmm, what about it?”

“I want you to know that, after seeing some of the ‘rock and roll’ concerts in the human world, I have enchanted the stage for you so that any light and explosive effects you need will be provided when you play.”

“Alright… Thanks Aunt Celestia, I appreciate it. But I’ve been meaning to ask you.”

“Yes?”

“What type of music do you guys have in Equestria? I can only seem to remember the really old school type, you know, not exactly classical but the stuff played on the lute and such.”

“Funny enough that you should mention that, we have everything here that they do on Earth, just… less vulgar.”

Fiery brought a hoof to his chin as he thought about it. “Interesting…”

“Indeed… By the way, where is my sister?”

Fiery broke out of his thought and replied. “Oh, she’s in the bathroom getting cleaned.”

“Alright then. It was good talking to you again Fiery. I hope you do well at the party.”

“So do I. Oh! Before you go, are you going to be in the audience?”

“Of course, that’s why I have to leave here soon with the Elements.”

“Of Harmony you mean.”

“The very ones.” Celestia said in a cheery voice. “Why do you want to know that? Thinking of a song to play for them?”

“Just for Twilight.” He said with a mischievous grin.

“As long as it isn’t something extremely vulgar, I can’t wait to hear it. Now, I really must get going, see you later Fiery!” Celestia said to him as she began to walk out of the room, opening the door and closing it behind her.

As Celestia left, Luna was coming out of the bathroom. “Did I hear my sister in the room?” She asked as she was coming out, using her magic to rub her mane with a towel.

“Yeah, she wanted to come by and tell me that she enchanted the stage for me for my performance.”

“Well that can’t be a good sign.”

Fiery broke a smile as Luna made the joke. “Indeed. Now come over.”

“Hmm?”

“Just come over here, I want to do something.”

“What?” She asked as she walked over. She was suddenly grabbed by Fiery as she was lifted up and propped up on his knee as he was sitting like a human. He put his arms around her and began to softly kiss her neck. “F-fiery! You know we can’t do something like this right now. We have to leave soon!”

He had stopped kissing her to reply. “I know, I just love you a whole bunch. I want you to know that, that’s all.” He gave her a smile as he looked at her.

She returned the smile as she looked into his eyes. “And I love you, but if you’re up for it, I’ll be happy to love you back tonight after the party and after Celestia’s announcement.”

“Sounds good to me.” He gave her one last kiss on the lips before letting her go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, after waiting the entire week, Fancy Pants’s party had started. It had looked like any type of garden party, and started out as one. Everypony was having a wonderful time, listening to the quiet music of the band that was playing, and this time, the Elements of Harmony were behaving themselves more properly as request from Rarity.

A little time went by as the party was rolling when Fancy Pants had spotted Rarity amongst the crowd. He had walked over to her with some ponies following him, sucking up to him mostly, as he walked. As he got closer, he called out to her. “Rarity! It’s so good to see you again.”

Rarity turned around, conversing with the other Elements, to greet the host. “Oh! Fancy Pants, it’s so good to see you as well. You sure are hosting such a lovely party.”

“Oh, you’re too kind Rarity, but you can’t really say that just yet. After all, the party has just started. But enough about me, these are your friends I had met before I presume?”

“Oh, yes, forgive me Fancy.” Rarity turned back around to the girls to start introducing them. “Girls, this is Mr. Fancy Pants. You remember him last time right?” They all nodded. “That’s good.” She began to point to each mare and called out their names to Fancy Pants, getting him to know them.

As she was calling them out, she called Pinkie Pie last, who seemed to be in a bad mood. “It’s very nice to meet you Ms. Pie.” Fancy Pants started. “But there seems to be something troubling you. Do you mind if I ask you what it is?”

“Oh, there’s no need Mr. Fancy Pants, she’s just upset because she can’t act like the party animal like she usually does. I made her promise to be on her best behavior.”

“Well that’s too bad, as this party just isn’t for me, but for my daughter as well.”

The girls looked at him with confused looks, Rarity the most confused. “Pardon?”

“Yes, I thought I told you Ms. Rarity, forgive me if I didn’t. My daughter, Fleur-De-Lis, is graduating college here and is going to business school to continue her education in Manehatten, just like her mother and father. She’ll be living there with her mother, who does modeling and fashion work there.”

After finally finding her voice, Rarity was able to speak. “Fleur-De-Lis? E-excuse me for saying this Mr. Pants, b-but you have to forgive me for thinking that she was…”

“Was my wife? Yes, a lot of ponies seem to make that mistake, thinking that way because of how she hangs onto me. No, she’s my daughter, she just likes being daddy’s little girl, that’s all.”

Just then a tall white mare with a bright pink mane and tail, looking like a super model, and with three Fleur-De-Lis markings on her flank, came by and stood next to Fancy Pants. “Daddy!”

“Oh, Fleur! We were just talking about you. I’m so happy for you darling.”

“Thanks daddy, but who are your friends?”

“Fleur, I’d like to introduce you to the Elements of Harmony.”

“Oh! I’ve heard you so much about you six! What’s it like living in Ponyville?”

“Somethin’ wrong wit’ Ponyville?” Applejack asked her.

“Oh! Of course not! I’m sorry if you’re offended by me asking. No, I’m just curious because I always wondered what it’d be like to live there, in a place where you would be able to look up at the sky at night and see the stars, rather than the city’s lights.”

“Well, we know you meant nothing by it Fleur, isn’t that right Applejack?” Twilight replied. She only got an annoyed glare from Applejack. “But if you must know, it’s very peaceful and very beautiful.”

“Well that sounds wonderful.” Fleur said to Twilight, before noticing Pinkie. “You must be Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter. Why are you so sad?” She asked in a concerned tone.

“We told her that she had to behave, thinking this was a party being hosted by your father for one of his fellow high society types. No offense.” Twilight spoke.

“None taken, and you’re somewhat right, at least for it being hosted by me.”

“Well you don’t need to be so down, there’s a reason why daddy had the party start so late.” Fleur said to Pinkie with a smile.

“Oh? And why’s that?” Rarity asked.

“If you haven’t noticed yet, there are a lot of young mares and stallions here. Why do you think that is?” Fleur asked the girls. They had no reply. “It’s because the older mares and stallions that came to suck up to daddy will probably leave after the first hour. Thanks to Princess Celestia telling us of some music that my friends and I would enjoy, the other two hours that the party is going for will be more for the college kids than it will for the older ponies.”

“Ooooooh, I get it!” Pinkie finally snapped out of her rut. “So I just have to wait until all the old ponies leave, and then I can have all the fun I want?”

“Pinkie! That’s not what she’s saying.” Twilight told her pink friend.

“Actually, Ms. Sparkle, that’s exactly what my daughter is saying.” Fancy Pants interjected.

“Whosawhat now?” Applejack said in a confused state.

Fleur giggled a little to herself. “I’m saying that once the older ponies leave, the party will become a lot more lively, thanks to the DJ and Guitarist that Princess Celestia suggested to my father.”

“Oh, right, them… I had completely forgotten they were coming.” Twilight said in a bitter tone, mostly remembering about Fiery.

Just then, trumpets were being played as two new guests were coming. “Ah, it seems our special guests have arrived.”

“Who daddy?”

“The Princesses of course.”

Fleur gasped in shock and excitement. “Daddy! How did you-”

“Simple, Princess Celestia agreed to show up with Princess Luna and spend the night for my little girl if I changed the music. Though I don’t know why that would make them change their mind…”

As the two Princesses arrived and announced themselves, they began to immediately come over to Fancy, Fleur, and the Elements. As they approached, Celestia was the one who spoke up first. “Ah, Fancy, so glad you could invite us.”

“So glad you could make it your highness.” Fancy bowed to Celestia and Luna as they approached, as did all the other ponies.

“And I’m happy for you Fleur, it’s not easy graduating college. I hope you are able to excel just as well in Manehatten.” Princess Celestia complimented the white mare.

“Thank you your highness.” Fleur bowed to Celestia once more. “And thank you for showing up, you have no idea how much this means to me.”

“It’s no problem darling… Ah, Twilight! Good to see you again.”

Twilight smiled at the Princess for finally acknowledging her. “Hello again Princess Celestia. It’s good to see you again as well.”

As the Princesses were still introducing themselves to Fancy Pants and Fleur, Pinkie caught the other girls from Fiery’s harem out of the corner of her eye. She got next to Fluttershy and nudged her. “Ow…” Fluttershy said in a soft voice, barely audible because of all the talking and music.

“Fluttershy.” Pinkie whispered to Fluttershy.

“Pinkie?” She whispered back.

“Look.” Pinkie pointed in the direction of the girls. After finally getting what Pinkie was pointing at, Fluttershy nodded and the two slipped out of the party to talk to the other girls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Backstage on the stage, Vinyl was getting ready for her performance, fiddling with her DJ set, making sure everything was right. Fiery was also in the back, making sure everything was alright with his guitar, completely bored out of his mind. He had checked his guitar over five times already, and was going over it a sixth time when he let out a groan of boredom.

“Come on Fifi, stop complaining. You should be happy we’re getting this opportunity to show off your skills.”

“Is it really my own skills though Vinyl? And I’m not complaining because it’s like I can’t do this, I’m complaining because it’s just so boring!”

“Well, if it makes you any happier to know, I would try pleasuring you before I had to go on, but that’s soon, so I can’t really do anything.”

Fiery rolled his eyes. “Thanks Vinyl, you know just what to say.” He said in a sarcastic tone.

“How about you stop complaining and help me figure out I got everything down right.” She said to him in an annoyed tone.

“Alright, alright…” He continued to complain as he set down his guitar and went over to Vinyl. “So, what do I need to do?”

“Nothing, I just wanted you to shut up for five seconds.”

Fiery rolled his eyes once more, and was going to head back to his guitar, when he thought of something diabolical. He crept around Vinyl and as she was setting up, she was leaning over her DJ system, trying to plug some things in into their holes, completely oblivious to what Fiery was doing. Very slowly, he began to wrap his hooves around Vinyl’s stomach, hugging her from behind. “What do you think you’re doing Fifi?” She asked again in an annoyed voice.

“Just thought I’d see what it’s like hugging a fluffy white mare with a blue hairdo from the back.”

“First off, I’m not fluffy. Second, I’d appreciate it if you let go. I’m finally done with checking my systems and I don’t want anypony coming in soon thinking we’re doing something we shouldn’t be doing because you like the way my back feels.”

Just as she said that, a blue stallion came in to tell them of their situation. “Ms. Dj Pon-3, you’re on in…” He stopped as he saw the two standing there. “I’m sorry, I’ll come back later.” He began to walk out but was stopped as Vinyl called out.

“Wait, it’s a misunderstanding, this guy is just an idiot.” She said to the stallion as she knocked Fiery off of herself. “How soon am I going on?”

“Um, oh, uh… Five minutes.” The stallion told Vinyl while looking at his clipboard. “The classical band will be coming off here in a second to allow you to set up your DJ set.”

“Alright, thanks for letting me know.”

With that, the stallion bowed and left, waiting for when it was his time to come again. A couple of minutes later, Octavia and the rest of her band came out as she was finally finished with her turn. She saw Vinyl and Fiery and went over to them to wish them luck. “Hey guys.”

“Hey ‘Tavi.” Fiery called out to her. “How was it?”

“Oh, not too bad, Brass is still a little sore for us not having a longer time period, but she’ll live.”

“Ms. Dj Pon-3? You’re needed on stage.” The same stallion from before called out.

Vinyl looked at her friends before sighing. “Alright guys, wish me luck.”

“Will do Vinyl. Don’t worry, you’ll do just fine out there.” Fiery said to her, trying to cheer her up.

“I also have confidence in you Vinyl, you are always able to wow the crowd.” Octavia said while smiling at her friend. She gave Vinyl one last hug before she went on the stage with her set. Vinyl had hugged her back.

“Thanks ‘Tavi, I appreciate it.” She then began to wheel her set out onto the stage, where she would set it up completely to allow her to play.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back on the garden grounds, Pinkie and Fluttershy were conversing with Fiery’s harem when Pinkie spotted Vinyl coming out onto the stage. “Hey! It’s Vivi!” She said out loud, which got the other girls to turn their heads.

“So it is.” Redheart said. “I hope she does alright.”

“She’ll be fine.” Aloe commented. “She always does great at the club.”

“I hope you’re right.” Lotus said to her sister.

As Vinyl was starting, it had seemed that just like Fleur said earlier, all the older mares and stallions had begun to leave, but the younger mares and stallions around the age of Fleur and the other girls stayed behind.

During the hour, Vinyl was a big hit with the young crowd, as they were cheering for her to do more and more, even when her time was up. This brought a smile to Vinyl’s face, knowing she did her job right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Vinyl was getting her set off stage, Fiery was in the back getting ready for his performance. The same stallion who came to tell Vinyl of her time earlier had come to Fiery to tell him as well. “Five minutes Mr. Embers.”

“Alright, thanks.” Fiery said back to the stage manager. Before the stage manager had left though, Fiery wanted to ask one question. “Excuse me.”

“Yes Mr. Embers?” The stallion turned back around to face Fiery. “Something I can do for you?”

“Yeah, do know how many are out there exactly?”

“Hard to say sir. Some of the older ponies left after Ms. Dj Pon-3 went on, but more ponies showed up during her performance. Even more are coming in now, waiting to see the new stallion on the block.”

“Why’s that?” Fiery was curious.

“Mr. Pants and Princess Celestia have been hyping your performance up this past week here in Canterlot. A lot of younger ponies are coming to see if you’re really as good as they say. Also, the special guests, the Princesses and the Elements of Harmony, along with Mr. Pants and his daughter, are going to be in the back watching from their booth.”

‘Fuck…’ “Alright, thanks.”

“No problem Mr. Embers.”

A few minutes later, Vinyl had come off the stage with a huge grin on her face. “Hey Fiery.” She said to him as she sat down next to him. “Aren’t you supposed to go out soon?”

“Yeah, just sort of feels weird though, not being used to that many people, or I guess ponies, watching me.”

“Ah, don’t worry, you’ll do fine. Trust me.”

“Yeah, I guess…”

Vinyl could tell that Fiery was feeling tense; he just didn’t want to admit it, so she leaned over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “There, now you have my blessing.”

Fiery looked over to Vinyl and cracked a smile, before chuckling. “Thanks Vinyl, I appreciate it.”

The same stallion from before came back to tell Fiery it was his turn. “Mr. Embers? You’re on in sixty seconds.”

“Alright thanks.” Fiery called out to the stallion, then looked back at Vinyl. “Well, I guess it’s time.”

“Knock ‘em out tiger.” Vinyl winked at him, and, somehow, Fiery could tell she did so even through her glasses.

Fiery began to walk out on the stage where the lights were shining onto him. He could hear hundreds of ponies pound their hooves in the ground, anticipating the performer’s ability. ‘Jesus, so many damn ponies.’ Fiery thought to himself as he looked out into the crowd.

‘All for you Fiery.’

Fiery rolled his eyes. ‘Thanks Auntie, I appreciate it.’ He thought in a sarcastic tone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Near the back of the audience, the Elements of Harmony, the princesses, Fiery’s harem including Octavia and Vinyl coming to them, as well as Fancy Pants and Fleur-De-Lis, were all in a special section, anticipating Fiery’s performance. As he came out, all of the girls noticed the change. “Who’s that?” Redheart asked.

“Silly filly Red, that’s Fifi!” Pinkie told her.

“Wha?” Was all Redheart could get out, but then Celestia interjected.

“I’m sorry you couldn’t meet him before girls, he had butterflies in his stomach and such, too nervous to meet you.” She had winked at Octavia, indicating she knew what happened earlier. “But part of the reason I brought you all here this weekend was because I wanted to tell you about Fiery’s new form.”

‘It doesn’t matter what he looks like, I just can’t wait for him to fall flat on his snout.’ Twilight thought happily, thinking she was going to watch a failed performance. ‘Though I do wonder why Nurse Redheart and the Spa twins are here… What do they have to do with that jerk?’

Celestia only chuckled to herself, having Twilight unaware that she could hear her thoughts so clearly when they were this close. “So Twilight, how do you think Mr. Embers will do?”

Twilight turned to the Princess and smiled. “Oh, I think he’ll do wonderfully, I’m sure he has lots of talent.”

“I sure hope he does.” Fleur commented. “He certainly has the looks for being a star, I hope he’s able to play just as well.” Both Octavia and Luna frowned at her comment, not sure to take it as a compliment or an insult.

Just then, Fiery had approached the microphone and began to tap on it, getting crowd’s attention. He cleared his throat and began to introduce himself. “Ahem, u-um, h-hello! My name is Fiery Embers, and I’m here to play for you all. M-most of you don’t know, but I actually don’t originally come from Canterlot, or Equestria for that matter, and was raised in an entirely different country. That is why I’d like to start out by playing my nation’s national anthem on my guitar for the opening.”

‘Yes, fall flat on your snout, humiliate yourself!’ Twilight thought to herself, clearly despising him for all that he had done to her so far, even though most of it was her own fault.

Back on the stage, Fiery tried clearing his mind. ‘Alright Fiery, you can do this, just calm down and play.’ There was a chair for him to sit on stage, so he propped himself up onto it like a human and strapped the guitar around him, putting his hoof by the strings. He took in a deep breath, and just like all the other times, he felt a surge of energy go through him.

With the deep breath, Fiery played a few chords, and followed it was Jimi Hendrix’s version of the Star Spangled Banner. As he was playing it, the crowd grew silent, amazed at the skill he was playing with. As the song ended, Fiery opened his eyes once more, to see the entire crowd shocked, even the girls in the far back were stunned at his performance. “H-how did he-“ Twilight started, but was stopped by Celestia.

“I thought you said you had full confidence in him Twilight?”

Twilight excused herself by clearing her throat before talking. “Ahem, uh, yes, I did say that. I was… just amazed! I hadn’t expected him to be able to play with such caliber. Right Rainbow?” She had looked over to Rainbow Dash, hoping for somepony to back her up.

Rainbow Dash was just as stunned as the rest of the girls, but had heard Twilight. “U-uh, yeah! What Twilight said… Though he could’ve done it about twenty percent cooler.”

“You think everything you don’t agree with needs to be twenty percent cooler Dashie Washie.” Pinkie told her friend, which got a scowl in return, causing Pinkie to only laugh. “You look funny Dashie.”

Before Rainbow could come back with something, she was stopped by the sudden uproar of applause by the crowd.

Down on the stage, Fiery was smiling, now knowing that he could do this. “Thank you!” He called out to the crowd. “Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. Now, on with the show!” He shouted out, as the crowd only got louder in applause.

Over the hour, he began to play music from the 60’s and 70’s. Led Zeppelin’s ‘Over the Hills and Far Away, Communication Breakdown, Black Dog’, The Rolling Stones ‘Honky Tonk Women, She’s a Rainbow (Which unintentionally got Rainbow Dash to think it was about her.), Let’s Spend the Night Together, It’s Only Rock N’ Roll’, The Who’s ‘Who Are You, Behind Blue Eyes, Baba O’ Riley’, ending it with Pink Floyd’s ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’.

The entire time he was playing, the crowd was going wild at the songs. They cheered for him for playing something they had never heard before, thinking he was brilliant for playing songs he only knew because he was once a human. As he ended his last song, he yelled out to the crowd again. “Thank you once more! You’ve been great!” They cheered louder for him. “Thank you really! But before I get going, I want to play one more song for a very special girl out there! Sing along if you know the words!”

Octavia began to blush, thinking he was going to sing for her, unknowing that what he was going to do would make Twilight hate him forever. Suddenly he called out the name of the girl. “Twilight Sparkle, this one’s for you!” Octavia stopped blushing at the name of Twilight and became worried.

‘Why would he-?’ But before she could finish her thought, he had begun to play the song. AC/DC’s ‘Big Balls’. As he sang it, all the girls began to giggle uncontrollably; even the princesses began to giggle at Twilight’s expense, all the girls except for Twilight and Rarity. Even Octavia turned her worry and concern into laughter. It’s easy to say that Twilight was not having fun listening to the song, and as for Rarity, she was just disgusted at the lyrics.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Fiery finished the song, he went waved goodbye to his fans and went to the backstage. As he was getting ready to go, Princess Celestia had come up to him with Octavia and Vinyl. “Oh hey girls.” He said when he saw them. “Like the show?”

Octavia smiled. “I’ll admit, you were pretty impressive. Also, I did get a little upset at that last song. I know you don’t like Twilight, but did you have to be so hard on her?”

Vinyl could only grin. Princess Celestia added to what Octavia was saying. “I’ll have to agree with Ms. Pie Fiery, as much as I enjoyed your show, there was really no need for such music at the end.”

“Oh please Princess Celestia and ‘Tavi, you two were laughing just as hard as I was. The only ones not laughing in that booth were Twilight and Rarity.” Vinyl interjected. “Don’t worry Fiery, I think you did great.”

Fiery gave them all a smile. “Thanks you guys, and I apologize for that last bit. I just got so frustrated at her for what she’s been trying to do these past few days, that I thought I would pay her back in a way I could.”

“Well I hope you like seeing her Fiery, because we’re all about to meet back at the castle.” Celestia told him.

Fiery winced. “Crap, I totally forgot about that.”

“Now come along, my sister is waiting with the rest.” Celestia began to go out of the tent with Octavia and Vinyl following her. Fiery was about to pack up his guitar when the stallion from earlier stopped him.

“Oh, there’s no need for that sir, we’ll pack your instrument away for you, along with the others.”

Fiery looked at the stallion and smiled. “Alright then, thanks, just make sure not to do any damage to it.”

“Will do sir.”

“By the way, I never caught your name.”

“Sir?”

“Your name, what is it?”

“Uh, Blues sir. Blues Noteworthy.”

“Well Blues, it was good to have you help us out, thanks.”

“Uh, thank you sir! And um…”

“Yes?”

Blue took out a piece of paper and a pen. “D-do you think you could give me your autograph?”

“Already? I’ve only done one gig.”

“I know, but when you become famous and all, I want to be the first one to have your autograph, if you don’t mind I mean.”

Fiery let a little laugh. “Sure Blues, I’ll be honored. And by the way…” He said to the stallion, taking the pen and paper from him.

“Yes sir?” Blues said in a cheery mood, happy that he could get Fiery’s autograph.

“How would I get in contact with you? For future events and all.” He asked Blues while signing, using his hoof.

“O-oh! Um, uh, I’m working at the Jazzy Grounds bar right now, here in Canterlot, trying to get my band and I off the ground and such.”

“Alright then Blues, if I ever need help needing somepony to lift something or even be a backup for me, I’ll be sure to hit and your boys up at that bar.” He told the blue stallion as he handed the paper back to him.

“Oh thank you sir! That would be so great!”

“No problem Blues. Now, if you excuse me, I got some mares waiting for me.” He smiled at the stallion and began to make his way to Princess Celestia who was waiting for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I can’t believe that jerk!” Twilight screamed out in frustration as the mane six walked their way back to the castle.

“Oh come on Twilight, it wasn’t that bad.” Pinkie said to her purple friend, trying to calm her down.

“Not that bad? Not that bad!? He humiliated me Pinkie!”

“Ah’m gonna have ta agree wit’ Twi’ here Pinkie, as much as the song WAS funny, it was kinda mean-spirited.” Twilight gave Applejack a mean glare for what she said. “What? The song WAS funny!”

“Yeaaaah, I’m gonna have to agree with Applejack Twilight, that song was sort of funny.” Rainbow rubbed the back of her neck with her hoof confessing the truth about what she thought.

“I don’t know what the problem is, I thought it was about ballrooms.” Fluttershy said quietly, but the other girls heard her. Rainbow Dash facehoofed.

“Ugh, Fluttershy… Look, I’ll tell you.” Rainbow said as she swooped down next to Fluttershy and whispered into her ear about what the song was really about.

“O-oh, my…”

“Exactly, now you understand why I thought it was absolutely horrid.” Rarity commented. “Why Mr. Fancy Pants, or Princess Celestia for that matter! Would ever allow such vulgarity to be played…”

“I don’t know, but what I do know is that I’m going to complain to the Princess about it when we meet her. And by the way!”

“Yeah Twi’?” Applejack asked.

“Did any of you notice the spa twins and Nurse Redheart were sitting next to us? What’s up with that!?”

Fluttershy and Pinkie stayed silent, knowing the answer, while the others thought about it. “I don’t know Twilight.” Rarity answered. “I also noticed them there, but wasn’t able to put my hoof on it. I also noticed that Pinkie’s sister and her friend Ms. Scratch were sitting there as well… Pinkie, do you have any idea why any of them would be there?”

Pinkie could only put on a big smile. “Nope! But I bet we’ll find out soon enough!”

“What makes ya think that Pinkie?” Applejack asked her hyperactive friend.

“Mmm, nothing.” Pinkie replied with a smile.

“Well whatever you mean, it’s going have to wait, as we’re here.” Twilight announced as they had just reached the castle’s gates. They went inside and began to go to Celestia’s court room where they were told to meet after the party. As they got into the court room, they were shocked to see who was there.

Everypony was there that was at the party. Vinyl, Octavia, the spa twins, Redheart, the Princesses, Fiery, all waiting on the mane six. “You!” Twilight called out as she laid eyes on Fiery. “You… You… JERK!” She screamed out at Fiery as she stomped her way towards him.

“Whoa, settle down there girly.” Fiery said in his defense as she got closer. “It was only a joke.”

“JOKE!? You sang that song and humiliated me!”

“Well maybe I wouldn’t have done that if a certain purple unicorn didn’t piss me off so much to the point where I had to play something like that to get back at her!”

Before Twilight could charge up a spell to hit him with, a blue shield was put up between the two. “Alright you two, break it up.” Luna announced.

“Princess Luna! How could you defend this… this…”

“Jerk?” Applejack suggested.

“Asshole!” Twilight screamed. Everybody except Fiery and the Princesses were surprised by the outburst.

“Well well, seems little miss perfect has a foul tongue after all.”

“Fuck you!” Twilight screamed out at Fiery, surprising everypony once more.

“What did you say bitch!? Don’t make me come over there and-“ Fiery was saying but was interrupted by a new voice.

“ENOUGH!” Celestia commanded the two. They instantly fell silent. “Now Fiery, I know I would expect this type of behavior from you, but Twilight!”

Twilight flinched at the mention of her name, curling up into a ball scared. “Y-yes Princess Celestia?”

“I never expected you, my most prized student, to say such language, especially in front me or my sister.”

“I-I’m sorry Princess! I-it’s just that he said this and that a-and I-I just-“

“I know Twilight, but that still doesn’t make it right to say. If you were ever better than him, you would not have let him get to you.”

‘And who’s fault do you think it is for introducing the two to each other?’ Luna said in her mind, talking to Celestia.

‘Hush you.’ “Now Twilight, I asked you and the others to come here today because I wanted to tell you all a story… A story concerning Fiery. Is that alright Fiery?”

“Yes, it is Princess Celestia.” He answered her. As he answered, he looked over at her to see her giving him a glare. “Oh come on! Even now!?”

“Even now.”

“Ugh… Yes Aunt Celestia…” As he said aunt, everypony became surprised, even Octavia and Vinyl who had heard the story from earlier, but didn’t know about the aunt part.

“A-Aunt Celestia!? What!?” Twilight called out.

Celestia put on a smile while Luna only rolled her eyes. “Yes, Aunt Celestia… You see girls, it has to do with who Fiery’s real mother is.”

“Real mother?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yes, did he not tell you all about himself?”

“No, I did not Aunt Celestia, only Vinyl, ‘Tavi, Pinkie, and Fluttershy…”

“Wait, tell them about what?” Redheart asked.

“Well, I suppose before answering that Ms. Winters, I’d like to ask that any pony who is a part of Fiery’s harem, that they go stand next to him now.” She said with a smile. Immediately the girls stood next to him, all except for Princess Luna, who was needed next to her sister, and one other, Fluttershy. “Well Ms. Hippocrene?” Celestia called out to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy ‘meep’ed before flapping her wings and going over, shocking the mane six except for Pinkie, who already knew. “F-Fluttershy! W-what are you doing!?” Rainbow asked her best friend.

As Fluttershy landed next to Fiery, her face became bright red and hid behind him. “Well now that’s over with I’ll-“ Celestia started.

“Not so fast your highness.” Twilight interjected. “Fluttershy? What are you doing? Come back here.”

“I’m afraid she can’t do that Twilight.” Luna said in an authoritative voice.

“And why can’t she?” Rainbow asked back in anger.

“Because, it’s like my sister said, she is a part of his harem, and must stand next to him.”

“No! This can’t be true! Our little Fluttershy!? With him!?” Rarity said out loud. “Out of all the worst things that could happen, this is the! Worst! Possible! Thing!”

“Oh come on you guys, it’s not that bad.” Pinkie told them.

“Pinkie! Why are you defending him!?” Twilight asked her pink friend.

“Well Twilight, did you actually sit down and try to get know him?” Pinkie replied.

“Of course I did!”

“Did you really? Or did you try to get information out of him without his consent so that he would end up hating you? Maybe if you tried sitting down and actually talking to him calmly, you would know he’s not such a meanie mean pants.” Pinkie replied to the other four.

“I don’t want to do it because he might try to puke on me again! I can still sometimes taste his stupid puke…”

“Enough! All of you!” Celestia commanded them. “I wanted to have you all be here today because I needed you to all know something. Something that not only concerns Fiery but the fate of Equestria and ponykind.”

“Is it some other evil? We can defeat it with the Elements!” Rainbow told Celestia. “We don’t need HIS help to do it.”

“Actually Rainbow Dash, you do need his help.” Luna replied to the cyan pegasus. “But it is not an evil you are fighting, at least not like Nightmare Moon or Discord…”

“And it’s just not him that you need help from, but another just like him.” Celestia added.

“Excuse me Princess, but wha’ does that Fiery fellah have anythin’ ta do wit’ us?”

“Maybe not you specifically Applejack, but mares in general.” Celestia replied to the orange earth pony. “Tell me girls, do you notice something amiss among us?”

“You mean besides Fluttershy betraying us?” Rainbow said bitterly.

“Hey! Just because she chooses who she wants to fall in love with doesn’t mean she betrayed you!” Fiery said in a pissed tone. “She’s been extremely kind to me ever since I’ve gotten here, something that none of you have done, besides Pinkie.” She gave him a large grin for excluding her from the group. “If you actually did what Pinkie suggested, then maybe you wouldn’t feel so betrayed!”

“I-it’s alright Fiery, I-I can handle it.” Fluttershy tried calming Fiery down.

He looked at her and sighed. “I’m sorry Fluttershy, it just makes me so pissed off sometimes when ponies talk that way about you girls”

“Fine, we’re sorry Fluttershy for thinking you betrayed us.” Rainbow apologized in an annoyed tone.

“I-it’s alright Rainbow, I forgive you.” Just then Luna coughed to get their attention. “O-oh, I-I’m sorry…”

“Don’t be Fluttershy.” Celestia assured her. “Now, before I start my story, is there any more comments or questions that needs to be said?” Nopony spoke up, none but Aloe, who raised her hoof. “Yes Ms. Nefertiti?”

“Yes, I have a question about Fiery’s… Physique…”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“Is ‘it’ as large as before? Considering he’s changed form and all.” Everypony began to blush at the question, knowing what ‘it’ she was referring to. It was Octavia who spoke up.

“Y-yes Aloe, it is.” She said while her face began to become bright red.

“Alright, thank you Octavia, just wanted to know.” After she got her answer, the pink mare put a large smile on her face, then looked over to her blue twin. “What?” She asked, looking at her twin who had a disgusted face on.

“Did you really need to ask that RIGHT now?” Lotus asked her pink twin.

“Of course! I had to make sure.” Lotus facehoofed. Celestia coughed to gain their attention. They instantly became silent.

“Now then, if we have no other interruptions, I’d like to get on with this.”

Just then, a new voice entered the room. “Yes! I have a question.”

Celestia and Luna instantly recognized the voice and looked over to the doors along with everypony else. “I-I-I” Celestia said, stammering.

At the door, was a pink unicorn mare, looking no more than twenty, with a purple mane and tail, having an Eye Of Horus for her Cutie Mark. “Good to see you too Celestia. Now, my question is, where is my son?”
