Daniel ran to the lab with an idea in his mind. If that was Luna in his dream then she would have seen his cloths and heard about 'The Heart'. While he was wearing his jacket in the dream like he did back at home in the now storm, he decided the best course of action would be to do what the ponies do and not wear any.

He has been wearing his clothes around his friends for a while now and if Luna was to see him in clothes like the ones he wore in his dream then she would likely know it was him. So he decided to wear no clothes in pony form from now on, but this had one flaw and it was his mark. His mark would be visible and if Luna saw it she might remember what was said in his dream, so he was going to the lab with hopes that Alpha could make his idea a reality.

While he could have just made what he wanted as it was not that hard to make, he didn't want Alpha or his kids to feel useless. So if he had time to spare or if it was something that could be made easily, he would ask them to help. He also didn't know if Alpha could make what he had planned but it was worth a shot to try as it has made machines before, so this should be a cake walk

When he entered the lab he ran towards the factory and then the control room to find Alpha there but in a different spot. He hopped with all of his being that Alpha could do what he had in mind so with that he stepped towards Alpha.

"Greetings again boss." He turned towards Daniel after saying that.

"Hello again. Hey Alpha I have something to ask. Could you make a fake pony mark, like a tattoo but not quite?" A sound was heard and Alpha then seemed to be searching his databanks, the sound stopped and he looked back at Daniel.

"Like one of those ones you put on your skin, put water on it then peel it off kind of tattoos?" Daniel was getting hopeful.

"Yes, can you?"

"Yes I can, but why can't you?"

"In my pony form the mark is made from magic, if what I know is true. So if I change it the magic will change it back. I would likely need to keep using my power to keep it disguised as something else and if I keep on using it, I could be exposed while I keep energy flowing into it. I also don't want to take the chance of keeping some energy in it to keep it disguised as that as well might get me caught as well." He explained.

"I understand. Which mark would you like?" Daniel though for a moment and then decided.

"A Meteor. It would go with my pony name and my astronomy hobby."

"Understood." A side hatch opened on Alpha and a vial of red liquid appeared and he opened it, then poured on the floor. Than Alpha got some kind of weapon, aimed it at the liquid and fired. A green beam hit it and it started to change colour and shape. When it was done a cardboard box was in it's place. Daniel went over and opened it to find paper with the same Tattoo picture he had in his mind, so he decided to go and try them out.

"Put them over your mark, put water on it and it will do the rest. Just avoid more water, it might wash off."

"Ok. Thanks Alpha."

"You're Welcome." He turned around and went back to his work in the control room and Daniel headed back to his house. He changed into his pony form and used his space powers to hold the box like the ponies did with levitation, so when he was back in his house he headed to the sink and got ready to test it out.

He removed the clothes he was wearing and took one of the papers from in the box and placed it over his mark, he then turned on the tap and levitated the water over to where he had placed the paper and rubbed the water on it which almost made him jump from the cold. After a while he stopped and looked back to find that the paper had expanded and went fully over his true mark and now left another mark with a meteor and a telescope below it. Daniel was quite happy with this so he did the same with the other side and it turned out perfectly.

"Great. Well that solves that." He changed back into his human form and then Daniel suddenly froze up when another realisation hit him. "Oh, Luna could enter my sister's dreams. I might not have to sleep but she still does." Daniel went to his sisters room only to stop when he heard her quietly snoring.

He chapped the door and then opened it after a few seconds to find her asleep and not faking to be asleep. "How am I going to keep Luna out of her dreams?" He thought as he was walking back to the living room and sat down on the couch. "I could perhaps learn how to enter dreams, but it would take time to do and more to make sure there is no side effects. What do I do?" He was still thinking for a few more minutes until a realisation hit him. "The pocket dimension. If she sleeps in there, then she might be able to dream without Luna being able to enter it. It is worth a shot, but I need to learn more about time." He then had a idea. If he could contact Father Time he might be able to help him with that. "But how do I contact them?" He closed his eyes and tried to send a telepathic message to Father Time, after a while he heard a noise and he opened his eyes to see Father Time standing there.

"Greetings once again Daniel."

"Nice to see you too."

"Have you thought about my offer?" It took Daniel a second to realised what he was saying.

"Yes, I would like it if you could teach me more about time, but I have a favour to ask if that is ok."

"What might it be?" Daniel walked towards a door and motioned for him to come over and then he opened the door when he was near it to reveal a grassland with flowers of all kinds blooming, a waterfall, a giant lake, trees and bushes that had Apples and berries as well as a very small sun that he made some time ago. It didn't shine a lot but enough to see and he was planning on making it larger to shine some more sometime in the future. The first thing that Father Time noticed when he saw this was that everything was still, like it was a painting so he looked back at Daniel.

"I made this pocket dimension so my sister and i would have a place to be if we got discovered, but I can't add time to it, could you please do that, I would be very grateful." Father Time seemed to be thinking for a moment but then spoke.

"I don't see why not, It's a simple request and an easy task." With that he held his hourglass out and a stream of golden dust emerged from it and gathered into a ball on top of the lake and then exploded and a wave of golden energy was spread throughout the land and everything started to move, Daniel stood there in awe before looking back at father time.

"Thank you so much."

"Your welcome, also you don't have to worry."

"What do you mean by-" Daniel was interrupted.

"Back when we first met, you thought if we discovered that you did not know how to control your powers, that we might see you differently, but we don't." Daniel forgot all about that. "Anyway, you mentioned you would like me to train you in time control, when do you want to start?" Daniel took a moment to think on this.

"Perhaps sometime tomorrow night? It is almost sunrise."

"I can freeze time and start your training right now if you want." Daniel decided to take him up on his offer.

"Well...ok." He raised his hourglass and in a flash, everything seemed frozen.

"Let's begin."

A while later Daniel had finished some of his training and discovered that time was very hard to learn to control properly. What he had learned was how to do a 'time gaze' in which he could see no more than a few minutes into either the past or future and his ability to do time loops was much better, the mass of the object or creature only had a minor effect on it now, as long as it was not as big as a sun or had a ton of gravity around it like a black hole.

There was a side effect when he tried his time gaze for the first time and it was horrible. Daniel felt like he just had gotten hot sauce poured into his eyes and it took him a few minutes until he could open then again. After this Daniel thought that was enough for today.

"I think that will do for today. I have some other things that I need to do." With that said, Father Time unfroze everything.

"I will see you later then." He was about to leave when he stopped and looked at Daniel with curiosity which was freaking Daniel out.

"What?" That seemed to get father time's attention.

"Sorry about that, it's just...you look familiar, I swear I have seen you somewhere before we met at the Timberwolf citadel."

"But I had never met you before that." He was about to leave when Daniel asked him something. "Hey Father Time. Can you tell the rest of them I accept their offers of training and I would like to learn what death was going to teach me first."

"I will let them know." He teleported away leaving Daniel in his now finished pocket dimension. As he looked around he wondered if his sister would like it, it was then he had a idea of what he could add to it so he looked at the sky and got to work. He made a barrier around the whole land that stretched into the sky and decorated it with stars and by the time he was done it looked so realistic.

"It might just be a I illusion but its easier than actualy trying to make them, if I tried that, god knows how badly I would injure myself." Satisfied with his work Daniel left his pocket dimension and headed to his sister's room. When he was there he chapped on the door. "Annabelle. I have something I want to show you." The door handle turned and when it opened she was looking at him. He stood there for a few seconds looking at her, her hair was very messy from the way she was sleeping. Daniel chuckled when he saw her hair.

"What is it you want to show me? Is it another lab? Another race you have befriended?"

"Well I made a new place for you to sleep in and I think you might like it. Come on, I'll show you." As they walked Annabelle asked why their home had to be destroyed along with their parents. She has been on the road to recovery and she has been doing well. She has been eating more and gotten some color back on her skin rather than it being almost chalk white. But she still wanted to know all the details to why they came to be like this.

"I think its time I told you everything." With that Daniel stopped and had a chat with her. Daniel mentioned somethings she knew and some she didn't. Like about how it was King N who was after him and how he would have died if he gave himself up. He also mentioned about PIA to her and at first she though he was turning into a psychopath until he proved it by answering some questions for her that were related to what she was currently thinking of and after a while she believed him. After the talk was done, he gave her a minute to understand it all.

"So, you would have died if you gave yourself up, not taken away and you couldn't have done anything other than that as you were not strong enough." He just nodded at her question. "Bro, I...did not know.

"Not everything ends in butterflies, sunshine and rainbows Annabelle." She had a face that showed she knew that was true. "Do you want to head outside today or stay in, it is your choice." She though for a moment.

"I think I will stay in. But, why do we hide? Why can't our friends know about us?" Daniel wondered if he did tell her and he or she just forgot it but he swore he did not tell her the reason so he decided to now.

"Do you remember when I first scouted the forest when we arrived here?" She nodded and waited for him to continue. "Well, Thag feared me because I was a human and here humans are myths, so was Nightmare Moon. When I looked up myths of this world when I was in Twilight's library, I discovered that just about all of them were beings with great power. So that's why we can't tell them. The fact of what I can do will just make it worse as it will just make me seem like one and with power like this, I don't want anyone to fear me. I am still a normal human in my heart and mind."

"So what if we are myths? So what if you can do so much? Surly Twilight knows not to judge a book by its cover, so the rest won't judge us...right?" He just looked at her and he could see that she was now worried about losing her friends and with what she is currently going through this will probably be to much for her.

"You let me worry about that. Now, follow me. I have something to show you." Daniel led her to the door that lead to the pocket dimension and opened it for her. When she was in it she looked around the whole place. "What do you think?"

"This place is beautiful. Did you just make it?" Daniel nodded.

"I also made you a tree bed." There was a mattress that was hanging off the ground by 2 strong trees. Annabelle ran over to it and jumped on it. Causing it to almost flip around but she held on tight and didn't fall off. She climbed up onto the tree bed and laid down on it.

"Wow. This is cozy. Thanks bro." She smiled while looking at him.

"I am going to go out for a while. Stay in the house and don't do anything that would put you at risk. There is a forest full of different tress to your right. The rock formation to your left is actually rock benches around a hot tub and there is a lake further down for you to go in if you want to clear your mind." Daniel left the dimension.

As he stood in the living room he didn't know if he should stay here or go to Ponyville to see his friends, he heard a door open and looked to the side to see some of his robot children and they were looking at him.

"Daddy, is auntie feeling better?" One asked who was painted grey.

"She seems to be getting better. Just be ready for a bad joke or 2. I heard some people will use humor, no matter how bad it is to try and help cope with the pain they are going through. Anyway, Greg, will you and the others watch her while I head out? She is in the new pocket dimension."

"Certainly." Daniel changed back into his pony form and headed to ponyville by going through the door in the basement. When he arrived there some other ponies were just starting to wake up as it was still early in the morning. He wondered around until he found a bench and sat down on it, he started to think about the situation he was in and after a while he discovered that as long as what he was wearing before was not mentioned to Luna or that Luna mentions what she saw him wear in his dream to the others in hopes that they know something, then he would be fine.

"Hi!" He was snapped out of his thought by someone talking to him, he looked to the source of the voice which turned out to be Pinkie Pie. "I'm Pinkie Pie, who are you?" Daniel started to wonder why she was asking that if they were friends, could not wearing his clothes in his pony form make him seem like someone else?

"You already know me Pinkie." That seemed to get her attention as her eyes went wide when she recognized his voice.

"Cosmos? You're not wearing those clothes. Why?" She asked with her head tilted to the side.

"You guys don't wear any so I though I might as well do the same now."

"Well...ok. Hey where is Strawberry?"

"She's sleeping in today. And feeling a little under the weather."

"Aren't we are all under the weather? If you think about it only the pegusi can go above the clouds?" What she said actually made sense to Daniel, why would under the weather count as feeling down if they were all always under it. He shook his head to remove that thought before he thought on it too much.

"Anyway...Is there anything happening today?" For the past few days something has happened almost everyday.

"Nope. I have no parties planned, unless somepony new comes to town. Hey want to go prank somepony?" Daniel decided to head to Twilights library to see if there was some more books he could study upon. He knew about the history of this land but now he wanted to read about their current society to see if it was different or almost the same as his was back on Earth.

"No thanks, I'm heading to Twilights to study some more."

"Ok, bye." She bounced off and Daniel started to make his way to Twilights. As he passed through the marketplace on his way there he was suddenly knocked to the ground. When he got up to see who bashed into him he found himself looking at the same pony he saw last night when Trixie was still in town, it was the grey Pegasus mare with a yellow tail and hair and her mark was of seven bubbles.

"Sorry mister." She got off of him after saying that.

"It's ok." As he got up he saw that she had a mail bag and her letters were scattered across the ground. As she cleaned them up Daniel saw she was having trouble with getting them so he decided to help her. He started to gather them up and when he got the last few of them he hoofed them to her. "Here." He said as he handed her the letters. When she looked at him Daniel could clearly see that her eyes were not looking the same way. She seemed to look surprised that he was helping her and somewhat hesitated to take the letters.

"Th-thanks." She said as she put them in the bag.

"No problem miss." He started to walk away when she said something.

"Ditzy." He looked back at her.

"What?"

"My name is Ditzy." He said his name to her next.

"Cosmos."

"Well, thanks for the help, Cosmos."

"Not a problem Miss Ditzy." She flew off after he said that, towards wherever her next mail delivery location was and Daniel continued on his way to Twilight's house. When he arrived he chapped on the door and waited for Twilight to open it and while he did, what Annabelle said was ringing in his mind. If he did tell them who and what they were, would they accept them? Also while it is true he is one of the elements of harmony would they count on him if they knew what he was capable of?

When he thought of that his mind wondered to another question. Why did he not use his powers for everything? Was it because of the fear of side effects? was it the fear of getting caught? Or was it because he wants to be human? Is he still human because no human could do what he could do? Just then something pops up in his mind. "What if I am not Daniel, what if I did die after encountering Sombra and I am just this 'Heart' thing with the memories of Daniel? If that is not the case am I still human?" He decided to ask PIA that and he got his answer.

"When you merged, you did not die or change, you are still Human." He felt happy knowing he was still him and after he got his answer his thoughts then went beck to what Annabelle said.

"A few months. I will wait a few months and let our friendship improve and if we become better friends I will tell them what we are but not about what I can do, that might cause them to fear me." He was suddenly surprised by a voice from behind.

"Excuse me." He jumped. He was surprised and forgot that he was waiting for Twilight to answer the door. "I'm sorry I did not mean to scare you."

"It's ok Twilight. I just need to pay attention more often." She had a look of surprise on her face.

"Cosmos!? You're not wearing those clothes you normally do?"

"Well the rest of you don't so I thought if I am going to stay here I should start doing the same. I was wondering if you could let me read some more books today." She stepped to the side and let him in.

"Of course. What do you want to read up on?" She said as she went to the bookcase and started looking.

"Well, history is done so how about society?"

"I know." She started going back and forth at quite a fast speed and within a few seconds there was about 27 books beside Daniel that were all based on society. She really knew her books.

"Thanks. Can I sit on the sofa and read?"

"Of course." He took one of the books and went over to sit down then started to read. The book was about social interaction for nobles which Daniel found a bit funny for some reason. While Daniel was reading Twilight looked over to him. "He is not quite muscular, so how does he have such insane strength?" She was quickly snapped out of her thoughts when she realised she was staring at him. She turned her head the other way with a blush on her face but her attention was then caught by Spike.

"Twilight, a letter from the princess." Twilight took the letter and started to read it. This also caught Daniel's attention and he waited for her to finish reading it. When she did she went to one of her windows and looked out it.

"What's happening Twilight?" She turned to look at Daniel when he asked that.

"Have you not seen the smoke in the sky Cosmos?" Daniel got up and went over to the window and he saw that there was indeed dark smoke going across the sky.

"What's with that?" He looked to Twilight who answered.

"It's a dragon that's causing that cloud." Daniel looked at the cloud again. "We need to inform the town, Cosmos are you coming?" Twilight walked towards the door and Daniel looked back at Twilight.

"Are you coming back here?"

"Yes, why?"

"Then I will stay here and read if that is ok with you." She used her magic to open the door and grab Spike who she then placed on her back.

"That's find, just be here when I am back." With the sound of a closing door he was left in the library. Daniel was left alone as he continued to read the book about noble social interactions. A while passed and he was about a quarter way done reading it when he hear the door open again and when he turned to the door he saw all of his friends.

"Hey Twilight who's that." Rainbow dash asked pointing at Daniel.

"Do I truly look that different without those clothes on?" All of them except Twilight and Pinkie Pie looked at him in surprise.

"Cosmos? Why are you not wearing the clothes you normally do?" He was about to say why when Pinkie Pie said it.

"When I asked him that he said because none of us did so he might as well do the same." It was then that Twilight spoke.

"Everypony, we have a dragon to deal with right now." They all looked to Twilight and Rainbow Dash was the first to speak.

"A fully grown dragon?" Twilight looked at her.

"Yes." Applejack spoke next.

"What in the name of cinnamon swirls is a full grown dragon doin here in Equestria?" After hearing that Daniel started wondering what other sayings there were like Applejacks. It was unusual to hear as he had never heard it.

"Sleeping." Everyone looked confused but he was just listening in.

"According to Princess Celestia he's taking a nap. His snoring is what's causing all the smoke." Daniel started to wonder how strong dragons were in this world. If one can catch the attention of the princess just from snoring then goodness knows what it could do if you ticked one off.

"He should really see a doctor, that doesn't sound healthy at all." He almost chuckled at Pinkie Pies comment.

"Well, at least he is not snoring fire. What are we meant to do about it?" Rarity had a point. This sounded like something Celestia should take care off. Rainbow then said they should give the dragon a kicking and then kicked a sculpture made out of wood which almost made it tip over but Twilight stopped it and moved it out of the way when Rainbow tried to hit it again which caused her to crash.

"We need to encourage him to take a nap somewhere else. Princess Celestia has given us this mission and we must not fail. If we do, Equestria will be covered in smoke for the next 100 years." He started to see something that didn't seem so nice.

They wanted to get the dragon to sleep somewhere else, but what about the creatures living wherever it chose to sleep next? Did these ponies not care as long as it was not on their land and why did Celestia not deal with this herself? Unless she already has tried to and failed. He started to wonder if these ponies were harmonious or not and by all the things he has seen, heard and discovered so far they don't seem to be very harmonious.

"Twilight. I just realized something." He said and they all looked at him. "Forgive me for likely seeing this the wrong way, but you want that dragon to sleep somewhere else. What about the creatures in the next place it sleeps?" Twilight smiled.

"Well we can try and convince it to take a nap in the badlands. Nothing lives there and has for many centuries." He smiled when he heard her idea. He completely agreed.

"Talk about getting your beauty sleep." If Rarity was trying to be funny then that was not very humorous as nobody seemed to laugh.

"Alright everypony, I need you to gather supplies quickly." Twilight finished packing her stuff in a bag and placed it on her back. "We have got a long journey ahead of us. Let's meet back here in less than an hour." Rainbow gave some kind of speech asking them if they have what it takes and after they cheered they all went away to get their stuff but Daniel just continued to read as he knew he would not need anything. "Cosmos, are you not going to get somethings?"

"No Twilight, I don't need anything." She looked like she was about to say something but stopped.

"Well...if you are sure then ok."

A hour later they were all in front of Twilights library, each one of them except Daniel had a bag of some kind and Twilight was speaking. "Alright everypony, I am mapping out the fastest route. We all have to keep a good pace if we expect to make it up the mountain by nightfall." Fluttershy seemed to be scared when Twilight said 'Mountain'. "The dragon is in that cave at the very top." She pointed to a mountain in the distance.

"Look's pretty cold up there." After Applejack said that Rainbow spoke.

"You bet it is, the higher you go, the chillier it gets." Daniel was looking at the mountain while the others talked. After a minute or so Twilight pulled out a map and Fluttershy was trying to speak to her while she was busy choosing which way to go. It ended with Twilight giving a answer she did not mean to give and Fluttershy started to walk away but Twilight quickly came to her senses.

"Wait, you have to come. Your way with wild animals will surly come in handy." She was about to say something else but Twilight interrupted her. "Oh and don't worry about your little friends in the meadow. Spike's got it covered while your gone." Spike was next to her with a few animals around him.

"You can count on me." A white bunny started to kick him in the head which caused him to try and reach for it and that seemed to scare all of the animals off. He ran after them shouting 'Wait'. Fluttershy seemed to be scared about going on and he even heard Rainbow ask Twilight if it was a good idea to bring her along because she was afraid of her own shadow and that she would only slow them down. Twilight tried to assure her that she would be fine until they saw Fluttershy jump in a bush after she saw her own shadow and Rainbow gave Twilight a look that seemed to be a little angry but Twilight just ignored it.

"Alright everypony, move out!" All of them except Daniel started to run and they actually ran right into Fluttershy and carried her off. He just stood there for a few seconds, contemplating what had just happened. That a bunch of friends ran into their shy friend and carried her off screaming.

"What...the...fudge." He stood there for a few seconds just looking on before he shook him head and went after them.

When he caught up with them they were all in one spot, he did not go full speed as he did not want them to see how fast he could run or accidently outrun them so he went at a pace that was less than jogging and more like fast walking.

"That is what it sounds like when a dragon snores." Daniel had just heard it when he caught up to them and saw that Fluttershy was cowering behind Applejack.

"It's so high." Rainbow looked at her.

"Well it is a mountain. I'm going to fly up there and check it out." She was about to fly away when she was grabbed by the tail by Applejack who pulled her back down.

"Hold on now, ah think we should all go up tagether. Safety in numbers 'n all." Dash looked disappointed.

"Oh, all right." They started to climb the mountain but what caught his attention was that besides Fluttershy, Twilight was at the back. He wondered why she was not at the front of them, she did have the map. All the while they were climbing or walking up the mountain, the others were talking and Rarity mentioned about a 'dragons scales' and how they sparkle and the only thing that sparkles more than that is the jewels they uses to make their nests.

What caught his attention was that Rarity mentioned she hoped she could get the dragon to part with some and Pinkie Pie imitated a dragon inviting Rarity, offering her a diamond and then roaring. Which made all of them laugh at how silly she was acting. All of them besides him and Twilight.

"Look, this is no laughing matter. Fluttershy, your the expert on wild creatures, what do you think the dragon will be like?" She got 'No' response and started looking around for Fluttershy who was hiding in a bush as the bottom of where they were walking. They all looked down to her and Rainbow called out.

"Hey, what are you waiting for, a invitation?" Pinkie then spoke.

"Oh I think I have one in my bag." She pulled out a invitation from her bag and confetti shot off surprising Dash.

"Pinkie, were you planning on inviting the dragon to a party?" He asked her.

"Yup Yup." He just raised a eyebrow at this and looked back down to where Fluttershy was.

"It's...so..so steep." Fluttershy still did not move.

"Well it is a cliff." Rainbow told her.

The others started to encourage her to fly after Rainbow Dash mentioned it and she actually did very well up until the dragon snored again which cause her wings to lock back in which caused her to fall back into another bush and when she got out she tried but failed to fly.

"We don't have time for this." He heard Twilight say and Daniel decided to take action so he jumped down the slope and towards Fluttershy. "Cosmos, what are you doing?" He did not listen to her and turned to Fluttershy when he reached the bottom.

"Fluttershy, why are you so scared?" She looked at him and was about to say something but he continued. "Where did your bravery go? Like yesterday when the shadow had fought both of the ursas, you just went up to it with no fear what so ever. What happened to that?" This seemed to get her attention and after a moment she spoke.

"Yo-your right but, I can't control that. I just saw a minor getting hurt and I seemed to just lose it then." Daniel sighed.

"Fluttershy, you need to face your fears, if you don't they will just keep you down and you won't get anywhere. That's what my mom told me and when I conquered my fears I felt so happy, So will you please try?" She looked at Daniel then at her other friends.

"I-I guess." They then walked towards the slope and as Daniel took his first few steps he turned around to look at Fluttershy who was looking at the slope. She then looked at Daniel who smiled and with that she closed her eyes and took a few steps up the slope. After a while she opened her eyes and found herself close to her friends all the while Daniel was behind her to help her if she slipped or panicked.

When she reached where her friend were they all cheered for her.

"Fluttershy, you did it." Twilight said and Fluttershy looked back to where she climbed up from and quickly went back agents the wall, shaking in fear. The dragon snored again and cause Fluttershy to stop shaking and fall to the ground paralyzed with fear and Daniel sighed.

"Do I have to carry you?" She did not move. "Fine then." He picked her up and put her on his back.

"Thanks Cosmos, now let's go." With that word from Twilight they all started to walk up the mountain again. While they walked, Twilight walks beside Daniel. "Hey Cosmos, thanks." He had a feeling the thanks from before was for carrying Fluttershy but he wondered what this one was for.

"For what?"

"For helping Fluttershy with her fears."

"Everything has fears, it's up to you if you will let them get the better of you." They continued walking and soon Fluttershy was able to move again so she got off of Daniel's back. As they continued walking on the path they soon came to a gap and while all the others jumped the gap, Fluttershy did not.

"Come on Fluttershy, we should be much further along by now." Twilight told her and Daniel wondered if he would need to help her again. Pinkie Pie started to sing and jump across the gap multiple times which caused a visible smile to appear on Fluttershys face. She stood up and closed her eyes and then jumped. "Just don't look down." When Twilight said that she opened her eyes and looked down which caused her to start panicking but she soon found herself with her back and front hoofs on the edges of the separate cliffs, the gap was very small. Rainbow went behind her and pushed her while Pinkie pulled her and after that she got across.

"I guess I forgot to jump."

"They continued along the path for a few more minutes as Daniel's mind began to wonder about how Annabelle is right now. He kept telling himself his robot kids are watching her and she is in the house he made, and is also in the pocket dimension so she is safe.

"Let's keep it down, according to my map we are entering an avalanche zone, the smallest peep could cause a huge rock slide." Fluttershy was about to say something but Twilight shushed her and they continued walking for a few seconds until Fluttershy shouted and at the same time she did that she sounded startled.

"AVALA-" She was stopped by Applejack who shoved a hoof into her mouth and they all listened. All that was heard was Fluttershy's echo and after a few seconds they sighed in relief. It was then that the ground started to shake and they looked up to see falling rocks. They started to run around and dodge falling rocks. Some shouting 'Avalanche' and 'Look out' Daniel stood still and was looking up and was easily avoiding any rocks that were coming down.

"Help!" He looked to the source and saw Twilight was having trouble avoiding falling rocks but just as he was about to run and help her Applejack tackled her out of the way of a falling rock. As the avalanche stopped they all were coughing and no longer panicking.

"Everypony ok?"

"Thanks to you, I am." Twilight said to Applejack with a smile and Daniel looked around to see Fluttershy poke her head out of a load of dirt and Rarity covered in dirt to which she shook off and it ended up on Pinkie Pie who was bouncing beside her.

"Woo hoo! Let's do it again." Daniel was not paying much attention to what they were saying as he looked in front of them he saw a giant pile of dirt and rocks that were blocking the path.

"Sorry." He heard Fluttershy say which seemed to be directed at them all.

"Aw, no big whoop sugar cube." Twilight spoke next.

"Yeah, we'll just have to...climb over." She sighed at the last part.

"Wait." Applejack said and then she looked at Cosmos.

"Cosmos, can you get rid of this? I mean ya did destroyed one of mah trees with yer strength." Daniel knew what to say in reply.

"That was a tree, these are rocks...boulders. Much harder and that tree probably weighed nothing compared to all of those rocks and dirt put together. I might be strong, but I don't think I can move these. Also If I could do you want to take the chance of a much bigger avalanche happening?" None of them seemed to have anything to say regarding what he said.

"Well then, we go over it." They started to climb the pile of rocks and dirt. They made it to the other side and with a slip, Fluttershy slid and hit all the others causing then to slide down and crash at the bottom. Daniel had just enough time to move to the side to avoid getting pulled down which ended up with him stepping on a rock that started to slide down and as it stopped he went falling face first into the ground below.

"Cosmos!" He heard them shout but he just got up and cleaned the dirt off of his face.

"I'm fine. How much further Twilight?" She took out her map and looked at it.

"It should be just up there." She pointed to the path ahead of them and started to walk there. Daniel got up and followed her with the rest of the group. Rainbow Dash was talking to Twilight and asking her if she still thought it was a good idea to bring Fluttershy with them.

"We're about to find out." They looked in front of them and saw a giant cave with the dark smoke coming out of it. "We're here." They all continued to look in the cave and Daniel looked at Twilight who had a look of determination on her face. "Rainbow Dash. You use your wings to clear the smoke." Rainbow flew into the smoke above.

"Rarity and Pinkie Pie. You create a diversion to distract the dragon if things get a little hairy in there." Pinkie Pie dashed off and a second later was holding some kind of squeaky chicken toy. All of them looked at it with faces that looked like their brain was stuck in a loop but Twilight just continued. "Applejack, be ready with the apples in case he decides to attack." Applejack kicked two apples against a tree and they smashed on impact. "Cosmos, you be ready to try and reason with the dragon just in case."

"Wait, why do I have to reason with it." He was curious to know.

"Well you reasoned with those Timberwolves a while ago. Why can't you do the same for this dragon if it comes to that?"

"They were protecting their young. They thought we were a threat. This is asking someone to change where they sleep, it's totally different." Twilight seemed to get the point.

"Well...will you at least try?" He sighed and nodded. "Thanks. Hopefully it won't come to all of this. Fluttershy will do what she has to do to wake him up and between the two of us we should be able to get him to understand why he needs to go. Is everypony ready?" They all made sounds or gestures of agreement but Fluttershy was on the ground in fear.

"Ok then, were going in." Twilight went into the cave but later came back out when she found out Fluttershy was not following her only to find her with her head in the dirt. "Oh come on." She pulled on her wing which got her head out of the dirt and it also seemed to look quite painful. "We have to do this." She was trying to push Fluttershy into the cave. "Now." Rainbow Dash joined in to help her. "Every second longer that dragon sleeps is another acher of Equestria that is covered in smoke." As she said this the others joined in to try and get Fluttershy in the cave. Daniel was watching in amazement at the scene before him. Fluttershy who was so kind and gentle was able to hold back the combined strength of her friends, not including him and she soon spoke.

"I-I can't go in the cave." They all fell over with a groan of annoyance.

"Great, she is scared of caves now too."

"I'm not scared of caves, I'm scared of the dragon." Daniel could hear that last part but the others couldn't and they kept asking her what she was afraid of until she shouted it "I'm scared of dragons!" There was another loud snore followed by a giant load of smoke bursting out of the cave and after it had cleared Twilight tried to speak to Fluttershy who was hiding behind Applejack.

"But Fluttershy you have a wonderful talent dealing with all kinds of animals."

"Yes, because they're not dragons." Rainbow got annoyed by this.

"Oh come one, we watched you walk right up to a horrible manticore like it was nothing."

"Yes, because it wasn't a dragon."

"Spike is a dragon, your not scared of him."

"Yes because he is not a huge gigantic terrifying-" She went on and after she was done there was another snore which ended with her on the ground shaking in fear again.

"But if you were so afraid of dragons why didn't you say something before we came all the way up here?" Twilight asked her.

"I was afraid to." Applejack got her up on her legs.

"All of us are scared of that dragon."

"I'm not." Rainbow said which caused Applejack to look at her with a face that looked like it just detected a lie. "Almost all of us r' scared ah that dragon, but we gotta job to do, so get in there with Twilight and show'em what yer made of." Daniel decided to add something to hopefully help her.

"Fluttershy you need to face your fears, if you don't then you are letting them get the better of you. At least try." She looked at all of them as they looked at her for an answer.

"I-I...i just can't." She turned around and walked away after saying that and they all looked at her as she walked off.

Twilight entered the cave herself while the others waited outside. After a few minutes she came back out of the cave coughing and another smoke cloud soon followed.

"So much for persuading him." Rainbow told Twilight.

"Now what?" Rarity walked up to the cave.

"Obviously this situation calls for a little more, pony charm." With that she walked into the cave. "Allow me."

A few more minutes later she ran out of the cave and Daniel heard everything that had happened. Rarity was at first charming the dragon and it sounded like it was going nicely until it found out she was trying to take some of the jewels it had for it's nest which it was not happy about and now Rarity was back outside the cave complaining about how she was so close to getting a diamond.

"You mean getting rid of that dragon?" Twilight asked when she heard what she was saying.

"Oh, yeah sure." It was then they heard a party streamer getting blown. They all looked to Pinkie Pie who looked like some kind of balloon mutant frog with sunglasses and with a party streamer in it's mouth.

"Darling, you look ridiculous." Rarity informed her and she didn't seem to be bothered by it.

"Exactly, sharing a laugh is a sure fire to get someone on your side." She walked awkwardly into the cave and after hearing Pinkie say 'Hi' and a few pops, she walked back out of the cave with 2 flippers missing and a lot of balloons gone. "Apparently he does not like laughing, or sharing." Rainbow Dash seemed to lose it now.

"Alright! That's it! We have tried persuasion, charm, whatever it is Pinkie does. It's time to stop wasting time, I'm going in." She zoomed into the cave and Twilight called to her.

"Rainbow, No!" She did not listen and flew right up to the dragon's face.

"GET OUT!" After she had said that she kicked it in the face which only seemed to get it to sneeze rather than hurt it and after it sneezed it looked at Dash with anger before roaring and sending her flying out of the cave and knocking her friends down like bowling pins. Daniel got hit on his front left leg but managed to regain his balance only to see a very angry dragon come out of the cave and look around until it saw all of his friends together in one spot.

It breathed smoke right at them which caused them to be knocked back by the force and hit a rock which smashed apart to reveal Fluttershy who was hiding behind it. Daniel was confused because the dragon was not breathing fire but because it didn't do a lot of damage to his friends and instead just made them woozy he was not complaining. Looking back at the dragon and at his friends he wondered if he would have to fight this thing until he heard a voice from behind him.

"How dare you. HOW DARE YOU!!!" Fluttershy now looked furious and flew up to the dragon's face. "Listen here mister, just because your big doesn't mean you get to be a bully." Daniel was now standing there with a smirk on his face, now that Fluttershy had gotten angry and the dragon was on the receiving end of her stare, but at the same time he felt sorry for the dragon.

All it did was knock his friends away after Rainbow attacked him and they would not leave him alone so did that really make the dragon a bully? He then remembered when Fluttershy acted this way to him when he was in his shadow form and how he would have done goodness knows what to her if he did not regain control of his anger after she mentioned his parents.

He made a mental note to learn to control his anger when he could find some time to do that. He was getting distracted so he shock his head and looked back at Fluttershy who was now looking the dragon in the eye. "Well?" After a few moments the dragon spoke.

"But that Rainbow one kicked me." Daniel looked to Dash who had a smile on her face.

"Well I am very sorry about that." Rainbow's smile disappeared. "But your bigger than she is and you should know better." Daniel was wondering what she meant by that. A child dragon would be bigger than a pony and just because one creature is bigger than another does not instantly make them more intelligent or mature until he remembered that this was a fully grown dragon so he stayed quite. "You should also know better than to take a nap where your snoring can become a hazard to other creatures."

"But I-" The dragon started to talk but got interrupted by Fluttershy.

"Don't you 'but' me mister. Now what do you have to say for yourself?" She was looking at him with a combination of anger and curiosity. "Well?" Daniel could not believe what happened next. The dragon started crying but after seeing this his friends were smiling which got him to question himself if they were happy to see it cry. He looked back to Fluttershy who was now trying to calm the dragon down. "There, there, Your not a bad dragon. You just made a bad decision." She flew down to the ground. "Now go and pack your things, you just need a new place to sleep, that's all. Like the badlands, they are not too far from here." When she reached the bottom her friends all ran to her and cheered her.

"You did it, I knew you could." The dragon then started to fly away from the mountain. "Well that takes care of that. We should get back now. I will tell the princess that we succeeded with the mission." They all started to walk back to ponyville, all except for Daniel who was looking in the direction the dragon was flying. As he was looking over the land from this high mountain he felt something spark in him. A feeling of adventure that he wanted to experience. He didn't just want to see this new world but other worlds out there. He decided to ask Nature or any of the others when he meets them again. "Hey Cosmos." He looked back to see them all looking at him. "You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said with a smile.

"Alright then, let's go." Daniel started to follow then but took one last look back before he continued to follow them back to Ponyville.

When Daniel arrieved back in Ponyville he headed back to his house, and changed his form when he was safely inside. He went to check on his sister but instead found Greg at the door, he approached him.

"How is she doing?" Greg looked at him.

"She is awake and is wondering in the new area you made. Can we see it too?" Daniel smiled.

"Sure. Go and get the others." Daniel opened the door when Greg left to get the others. "Annabelle!?" He shouted.

"Over here Bro!" She was sitting down at the hot spring, laying down on one of the rock benches. Daniel walked over to her and sat on one across from her.

A few moments later the rest of his kids came into the pocket dimension and had a look around. Greg was the only one to come over and sit beside him.

"Is this the hot spring?" He asked.

"Yes it is." Daniel them looked at Annabelle who was still laying down on the stone bench. "So Annabelle. What do you think of this place I made?"

"Its...nice...but..."

"But?"

"How do you deal with it, the loss of our parents?" He sighed and walked over to her.

"I deal with it by keeping you safe. I think to myself, 'What would mom and dad want me to do in this situation?' I know they would want to keep you happy and safe, and I will do that. Not just because it's what they would want me to do, but also because your my little sister and it is my job as your older brother to do that, to keep you happy and safe. Think about the situation you're in right now and think what mom and dad would want you to do, if that helps."

"But...what do you want? You can't keep using your time on me. It just doesn't feel right to me. What do you want to do besides keeping me safe?" Daniel looked up at the illusions of planets he made and a smile appeared on his face.

"I have an idea. I got it not long ago. But as of right now, I need to watch over you. Until you are old enough to live by yourself...in like 10 years." He then smiled at her. "But I will never leave you for good. I will always be here to help you...and annoy you, shrimp." He ruffled her hair as he said that and it clearly annoyed her but he just chuckled. "I'm your older bro. It's more or less my job to annoy you along with helping you."

A little while later Daniel left the pocket dimension so she and the kids could get to know each other better and he headed to the living room to sit down.

Annabelle was deep in her thoughts about what Daniel said about thinking what mom and dad would want them to do.

"They would want me to be happy, that's what mom always told me that she wants when we were back home, but what about my brother, he is doing all of this to keep me happy and safe, what can I do for him, my mom would defiantly ask...no not ask, she would tell me to do the same. So what can I do to make him happy?" She sat up on the becnch and looked over the land around her.

Taking in the fact that Daniel made this for both of them, she sighed. "I guess I can try and cheer up a bit." Annabelle looked back at the door that lead back to the house and then laid back down on the rock bench looking at the stars in the sky and feeling the hot steam coming from the hot spring flow around her. "What would they want me to do?"
