Chapter 17: The Winter Holiday

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Twilight was currently in her library and cleaning up the mess that was left. She was still thrilled that she got to meet that flying cat creature and she could not take her mind off of it, she was currently writing to Celestia about her encounter.

"Dear Princess Celestia.

I am not writing a Report about friendship this time, but instead about an encounter I had with a wonderful creature.

I recently read the newest Daring Doo book and within it she mentioned about a flying pink cat creature that so far seems to be one of a kind which me and my friends encountered shortly after you left. If you don't know what the creature is like and of what it can do but are interested about it then I can have Spike send you the book.

I am writing to ask you what do you think I should do if I encounter it again as if it is the only one of it's kind then it might be endangered.

I await your answer.

Your Faithful Student: Twilight Sparkle.

"Spike!" Spike came running down the stairs when she shouted.

"Yes Twilight?"" Twilight was holding a letter and she gave it to Spike.

"Would you sent this to the Princess?" Spike took the letter with a smile.

"Sure." Spike blow his flames on it and the letter went to Princess Celestia. Twilight sat back down and took the same book she mentioned about to the princess and looked at the picture of the creature on it and sighed.

"Strawberry must have been a great help." Twilight said to him.

"She was. But she seemed to be highly interested in books about art. Particularly drawing and painting." Daniel came back and took Annabelle back home after they finished rebuilding the town from the damage the parasprites did.

"I wish I got to spend more time with that creature." Spike looked over to Twilight.

"Twilight, You can't befriend everything. I mean what if that creature that you mentioned has the intelligence of a house pet?" Twilight looked at Spike.

"It can supposedly time travel, if we take that into account and what that could do if used wrong and the fact that nothing bad has happened from it then it must understand about time travel. If it can understand something as complex as that then I am certain it's more intelligent than a house pet." Twilight said to make a point for Spike to understand. She then looked back to the creature in the picture and when she looked at the details of it and it matched up to the one she encountered close to the forest had. Same coloured fur, same tail, same eyes, eyes that looked just like...

"It's eyes are just like Cosmos eyes." Twilight shook that sudden thought out of her head. "It's not uncommon for eyes to be the same." Twilight looked at Spike as he picked up one more book that was place neatly on the sofa and was heading to place it back on the shelf. "What were you reading Spike?" He turned around at her question.

"Oh, I didn't read this, Cosmos did while you were out checking the town yesterday after he finished helping with the cleaning." Twilight got curious.

"What is the book called?" Spike looked at it and read the title.

"Human Culture and Appearance. Speculated theories about the ancient race." Twilight got more curious now as Cosmos seems to be very interested in humans, so far he has read a few books based on them.

"Why is Cosmos so interested in them? I mean sure he was curious about Nightmare Moon at the time but why humans specifically? Is he studying up if he meets one? They're just speculation, sure they might have existed as some research and rumours say, but at the same time they might have not and it also might have been another race and not specifically humans." When Twilight thought about that something clicked in her head. "Meets one." Twilights mind went back to what Cosmos had asked not that long ago. I mean you did say you would like to meet it but did you take what that means into account? Twilight started to think on it more. "That creature I said I would like to meet shows up after Cosmos mentions it. Could Cosmos be...No he couldn't. He was beside us when we met that creature so it's imposable. He can't transform or split apart." Twilight got another thought. "Could he be a changeling? They can. Minus the split apart part." Twilight got up from where she sat and went to get a book from the C section and when she found one that had 'Changeling' in the title she opened it and started reading it.

A few minutes later she had finished reading the information she sought and was now starting to wonder again. "Changelings have been known to take on the appearance of ponies, no sightings have been confirmed if they can turn into another species and while changelings can alter their appearance they have difficulty changing the eyes." Thinking back on the creature she had met and while the eyes were very similar to the ones Cosmos has but there is still the fact of it's form, as so far it is only known that changelings can turn into a pony form. "Your thinking into things to much again Twilight. You don't want to jump the arrow. Besides, Cosmos was with us the full time, it shows he couldn't be that creature and besides the book says that changelings apparently need love to feed off of and no pony has changed at all since he arrived or has mentioned seeing a changeling so he can't be that either. However just to be safe perhaps Applejack can ask him about it and if he lies then she will know."

Twilight jumped when a though hit her. "Why is he researching humans so much? Could Cosmos be a human? We don't know what they were capable of and there might still be some that are alive." Twilight just slapped herself when she thought about that. "No, He can't be. If they did exist it was a very long time ago and no pony, griffin, zebra or minotair has mentioned that they've seen one in Equestia or any other land so no. And besides he said he has family problems to deal with so the last thing that I...we want to do is put more stress on him. By the way he sometimes acts he is clearly a bit stressed so we should leave it until he's better. Everything that has happened is just a coincidence. But I think I should mention this to the others."

"Yoo Hoo." Twilight jumped up, startled by Spike. "You zoned out there Twilight."

"Sorry about that Spike." She looked down and saw he was holding a letter and it had the royal insignia on it so it was from the princess.

"Well here is the letter from the princess." Spike handed Twilight the letter and she opened it then started to read it.


Celestia was sitting on her throne room as she had just finished the next arrangement with the council so now she was taking a break but it wasn't long into it when a letter appeared before her. She knew it was sent by her student Twilight but what got her attention is why she sent one when she already got a friendship report not long ago. She took the letter with her magic, opened it and read the letter.

When she was finished reading it she was surprised that her student encountered the creature mentioned in the Daring Doo book and she didn't know what to reply to Twilight with as she didn't expect this to happen. She decided not to make a judgment on it alone so she called to one of her guards at the side.

"Guard. Tell Luna I wish to speak with her." The Guard saluted and went off to get Luna. Celestia was still sitting on her throne and thinking over what to do with the news that Twilight sent her.

"It might be a bit far to speculate that it's the only one of its kind but at the same time she might be right. If this creature does have the same powers as Discord then some ponies might end up fearing it or try to capture it to study it. With what I have learned about it so far it is a kind hearted creature so it deserves none of that." Celestia was interrupted from her thoughts.

"Sister?" Celestia looked forward and saw Luna looking at her curiously.

"Hello Luna."

"You to Tia. You sent a guard to mention you wanted to talk to me?"

"Oh yes, Luna, Read this." Celestia gave the letter to Luna and watched her read it, she watch with a smile as Luna's face turned from one of curiosity into one of disbelief.

"Twilight Sparkle met the creature?"

"Yes Luna and I need your help. Twilight doesn't know what to do if she encounters it again and she fears it might be endangered so she's asking me what I think the best thing to do will be. But I would like to also hear your suggestion." Luna took a moment to think.

"Well if it's capable of what was mentioned? Then we need to be cautious as we might frighten it and it could end up attacking if it feels threatened. Also, Twilight has already met it so if she met it again then she can perhaps try to befriend it. You have mentioned that her and her friends are quite talented." Celestia thought for a moment.

"You're right. Because Twilight and her friends have already met it then it might not feel as threatened if they are there rather than somepony else. But what if news of it gets out?"

"If Twilight does managed to befriend it, are you expecting her to keep it in her house or bring it to canterlot? Sister, While it might be endangered that does not mean we need to capture it."

"I know that Luna, but what if it's seen elsewhere by somepony who also reads Daring Doo. It could cause a panic and we might have to interfere." Luna sighed.

"If we do then why don't you just mention that it's harmless? The same way you convinced me." Celestia knew Luna had a point.

"Your right Luna. I will write back to Twilight and tell her to try and befriend it if she or any of her friends encounter it again." Celestia started to write a reply letter to Twilight and sent it. "Now Luna, there is something I wish to discuss with you further."

"What might that be sister?"

"Your studies have been going great, and I think sometime soon you might be able to have a student, like Twilight is mine." Luna was surprised by what Celestia had just said.

"But, Tia. I don't feel like I'm ready for that yet. I am still trying to understand the current society of this generation." Celestia giggled.

"I said sometime soon, not for a few more weeks still. But it might be something you want to think about." Luna turned around and started to walk out of the throne room.

"We...I will give it some thought. Now I wish to return to my studies. By the way Tia, what was the infestation problem?" Soon after Luna said that Celestia spoke again.

"It was some creature called a parasprite. They were annoying but I dealt with them. Twilight and her friends had the same problem in ponyville but they managed to deal with them. You should meet them sometime Luna."

"I'll think about it Sister. But...if I have a pupil...what will I teach them?" Celestia thought about it.

"You could teach them about politics and magic. But sometimes there can be someone besides you who helps your student more than you think, like Cosmos. He knows a lot about friendship." This caught Luna's attention.

"Who's Cosmos?"

"He's one of Twilights friends." Celestia giggled. "The only stallion in her group of friends. But I didn't noticed him today without his clothes. Last time I met him was at the castle and he was wearing them." Luna's head jumped in surprise.

"Clothes? Ponies don't usually wear...what kind were they?" Celestia put a hoof on her chin.

"It was a black top with a hood and he wore some kind of blue...I don't know what kind of clothing it was on his back half." Luna looked away and was processing something in her mind.

"Those clothes are the same as...Daniel's clothes. The same kind I saw in his dreams. I need to keep an eye on him." Luna turned back to Celestia. "I'll be in my room if you need me."

"You've been reading a lot and spending a lot of time in your quarters Luna. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing?" Luna didn't stop walking and just answered without looking back.

"Research." Celestia shook her head at this and a moment later she heard the throne room doors close.

"Luna has been reading over a lot of history books lately, according to the keepers that work in the library. Is she struggling to understand todays society more than I thought she would be, And...about Cosmos...so far he has given Twilight good advice on friendship. Could he also be someone to do what Star swirl couldn't? One thing is for sure, I need to find out more about him. That energy I felt when I first met him was...insane. Stronger than any magic I've ever felt and he didn't look like he was using it like one can make a strong magic signature. I need to look into it more."


It took much longer to repair the town than Daniel thought it would as it wasn't just the buildings that needed to get repaired, but all other things like signs and stalls had to be remade and Daniel didn't manage to get Annabelle and back to his house until almost midnight. It has been about a week after that event and apparently winter was coming soon because the everfree was starting to get colder and Twilight also mentioned it to him. She told him of how a holiday called Hearts Warming was coming up to which Daniel just took as this worlds version of Christmas.

So far things have been going greatly between the Diamond dogs and Timberwolves as both of them have changed from nervous allies to great friends but there was still some issues that needed to be sorted out, like exchanges. In the amount of time and what little they both have seen from ponies, griffins and the other species is that their towns and cities trade resources of different kinds with each other so they were currently wondering what they could exchange with each other in hopes of furthering the trust between them.

Daniel didn't know what they could trade so he said to them he would think about it in his spare time. That was when he went to Brago to tell him that the generators were almost done and he met both Thag and Brago discussing the matter. He was currently on his way to talk to Thag and then Brago to ask them if they celebrated Hearts Warming or Christmas and while he was walking along the everfree towards the Timberwolves citadel his mind was being plagued by a single question.

"What am I going to get for Annabelle?" This question was bothering him as he knew that he could effortlessly give her almost anything but he decided to make something without just making it appear, to show he put effort into it for her.

He approached the citadel and walked inside to where there was several Timberwolves around the main area talking, mostly about how their day has been and what their plans are. Daniel walked further down the hall and arrived at the door that lead into the throne room, from there he then chapped on the door and two Timberwolf berserkers opened it from the inside and Daniel walked in.

When he walked in he saw something that almost made his heart melt, Thag was playing with the pup wolfs by letting them ride on his back while he walked around the throne room and he could see the happy looks on their faces and he could hear them laugh happily.

Daniel took a moment to watch them and he felt a warm feeling in his chest as he remembered that Thag or Brago mentioned about how he managed to help avoid a war between them and that this situation might not be happening if he didn't help them. He felt proud of that accomplishment and when he thought back to when he saw how he helped improve the conditions of the diamond dogs pups too, he felt quite happy with how he has helped them.

But what Mother nature said came back to him. You feel guilty that you couldn't protect your world so you chose to help both of them out of kindness but also out of Guilt, you hope that if you can protect them and help them that it will ease the burden of guilt that you have. Daniel didn't want to believe this but he did feel guilty for what happened to his home and then he started to wonder if the feeling of guilt could make someone or something more kind than they previously were. While she did mention that he also did it out of his own kindness he started to wonder if he would have done the same things if nothing happened to his world, if he truly was helping them just to ease his own pain.

"True or not, now is not the time. I have things I need to do." He loudly cleared his throat which caught Thag's attention as he stopped and looked over to see Daniel standing there looking at him.

"Daniel, I didn't hear you come in." Thag turned to look at the pups on his back. "I think that is enough for today." With that he lowered his head to the ground, the pups hopped off of him and started to chase each other out of the throne room.

"That was quite cute." Daniel heard that giggle as he sat down and looked at the throne room door as it closed over.

"The little ones are so full of life, I still can't thank you enough for helping us and giving them a better, brighter future to look forward to." Thag's gazed averted from the door and back to Daniel.

"You're welcome. By the way I wanted to ask you if your kind celebrates Hearts Warming." Daniel saw Thag raise a eyebrow stick when he mentioned that.

"You mean that Holiday that the ponies celebrate?" Daniel nodded at his question. "No we don't, why? Does your kind?"

"We had a different name for it, it was called Christmas but other than that, so far, it seemed to be the exact same." Thag tilted his head.

"You mean that you have a holiday that is the exact same?" Daniel again nodded at his question. "But you are from another world, and yet you say it is very similar, That's strange." Daniel chuckled.

"I know, but I tend not to question it. When I first got these powers I was so shocked and confused that I just accepted it and didn't try to make sense of it."

"Wait, Did all of your species not have the abilities that you do?" Daniel shook his head in a 'No' way.

"No, they don't."

"If you don't mind me asking, how did you get your powers if you were not born with them?"

"I prefer not to talk about it yet. I am still trying to get over it."

"I understand. Also Why did you ask me about the Holiday?"

"I was wondering if, perhaps you would like to celebrate it with me, my sister and my kids." Thag's head jumped up in surprise when Daniel said that.

"Kids? I thought you and your sister were your only ones left of your race. Did you..." He cleared his throat before continuing. "Did you...Mate...with a pony?" Daniel was shocked but he understood why Thag would think that.

"No I didn't and I don't plan to at all. Not just because they are not my own race but also...I can't die over time. I have kids because when I made an AI to help me I fell unconscious from making it and it made my kids from my own blood, Like cloning." Thag seemed to understand what he meant.

"Ok, I wouldn't mind to celebrate it with you. Only, How am I going to get into your lab?"

"I can make a portal that will let you get in the lab, just try and keep it locked away safely. I don't want any little ones to get in yet, it is not safe but also not a major hazard zone."

"I understand. I think I know where you can make the portal." Daniel turned to him.

"Where?" Thag walked to his throne which Daniel didn't see before as leaves were covering it and he then went to the side and, using his paws, he moved the throne to the side to reveal a passageway.

"Follow Me." They descended the staircase passageway and at the bottom Daniel was impressed by what he saw. There was a room that was almost as big as the throne room. It had scrolls, gold and some strange statues around the place, it looked like a treasury that has ancient things stored in it as well as some money. The room was illuminated by a giant bright white crystal that was on the top of the ceiling.

"What is this place?" Thag turned to Daniel.

"Whenever my scouts find something that looks valuable or something that looks like its from an ancient civilization it is brought here for me and a very select few others to study. As for the gold...well it's fancy and the little ones like the shine." Daniel wasn't complaining as this collection was quite impressive but he got curious about the crystal illuminating the room.

"What's that Crystal on the roof?" He asked as he looked up at it.

"That? It was something recovered from a old ruin about 400 years ago, the ruin is no longer there. My scouts found that when they entered it and they found a lot of them but that one was the biggest and brightest. You may call it what you want but I'll stick with the name I gave it." Daniel turned to Thag.

"What did you name it?"

"The Welkynd stone." Daniel looked at it again and back at Thag.

"Welkynd?"

"It was a scientist wolf who came up with the name. I asked her how she came up with it and she said it just popped in her head and I liked the name so I chose to keep it."

"Ok, Well You mentioned I could make the portal here. But where specifically?" Thag pointed to the left side of the room where there was nothing against the wall and it was more clear than the other sides.

"You could make it there." Daniel walked up to the wall and looked at the size of it in both height and width. He then looked back at Thag and by the looks of it the portal would be big enough for him. "Is it good enough?"

"It should be, now let me try it." Daniel focused and then snapped his fingers which made a giant door of steel appear that was a little bigger than Thag and a small button was close to the bottom, Daniel pressed it and the door opened to reveal the wall that was behind it to which Daniel snapped his fingers again and a metal wall was made behind it to make sure that, without great effort, nothing could get to it from the other side. "Ok, when I'm back at my laboratory I'll make a similar door and connect the two." Daniel pressed the button and closed the door over. "By the way, How's Scar?"

"He is doing great. He was recently promoted to scout leader, and a fine one he is." Daniel smiled.

"When you see him tell him I said Congrats." Daniel and Thag walked back up the stairs and to the throne room where Thag moved his throne back over the passageway.

"Are you going to see the Diamond dogs now?" Daniel turned around to him and nodded. "Well, if you don't mind me asking, how long until your...Whatever it was is done?"

"The Generators? My AI Alpha said they should be done sometime today. I hope that I can convince Brago to perhaps celebrate this holiday. I don't want Alpha or my kids to work on this holiday but to relax, I hope to get us all together for it, not just like a normal Christmas but something a bit better. You mentioned the alliance is coming along greatly so this could be a time that we all celebrate it." Thag understood.

"I wouldn't mind." Daniel smiled.

"Well, I should go now, I've got much to do." Before he turned to leave he stopped. "Hey Thag, Can you help me with a situation I am in?"

"Sure, What is it?"

"I don't know what to give or do for Annabelle this holiday. Normally this Holiday for my kind is about peace, goodwill and giving. But what could I do for her? Considering what I can do." Thag looked to the ground.

"That is a tricky one. Wait, can you not revive your parents?" Daniel looked to the ground and closed his eyes.

"Sadly, no I can't. That is something I can't do."

"Losing ones family is horrible and the fact that there's no more of your race left...will make it worse for her."

"Well then what do you think I should try?" Thag thought for a moment.

"Why not try and find a world with your kind? I was told that you're from another world in another universe so why not go to another universe and try and find a planet that has your race on it?" Daniel didn't know what to say about this.

"You think that will work?"

"I honestly don't know but considering that you are from another universe, think about how much more there is. There is bound to be another planet with your race somewhere out there, or something very close to it." Daniel liked the sound of this idea.

"I will have to give this some thought. Thanks for the suggestion. By the way, How did you know I was from another universe?"

"Nature told me."

"Did she tell you anything else?" Daniel was hoping she didn't tell him how his world ended.

"No, she did not." Daniel felt a little relieved she said nothing personal about him so he let it slip.

"Well I should be going, I need to go and see Brago. Bye." Daniel started to walk out of the throne room and then out of the citadel.

As he walked in the forest going in the direction of the Diamond dogs home his mind started to wonder back to Thag's suggestion. While it seemed like a long shot it did sound like something that might make Annabelle feel more happy and perhaps give her a future with her own species. It also could hurt her more as it would give her bad memories which would make her worse.

Daniel was cut out of his thoughts by a slight bump he felt on his head and when he looked forward he saw he just walked into a tree and was slightly off the path. He continued walking when he got back on the correct path and his mind started to wonder again only this time it was about his friends. Twilight and the others besides Applejack and Rainbow Dash took his mew form with curiosity, happiness and after showing he was friendly, Applejack and Rainbow seemed to be ok with him too.

It was to see how they would react to something new and the results were great, they didn't think he was a threat and after a little niceness they all seemed to be ok with him. The result was better than he expected and Twilight was true to her word, she wasn't bothered or afraid of what he could do as she knew he was friendly and this made Daniel feel a bit more confident about perhaps telling them a bit more about his past.

He would still leave out some things that would expose him right away, and then after a few months if they haven't over reacted or think bad of him or his sister he would tell them what they truly are. But it was just his friends he would tell, he didn't know how others would react to discovering there is something that is more powerful than Celestia and Luna combined. It might cause panic and with all of the bad rumors he had heard back on earth about the government, he did not want to take any chances of them seeing him as a threat and perhaps trying to lock him away, study him or something worse if there was one. He was sure that Celestia wouldn't do that as all of the things he has heard about her says she's a loving princess but he just wanted to be cautious.

Daniel soon arrived at the home of the Diamond Dogs and found a pile of dirt before using his powers to lift it up, then jumping down it and into the Home of the Diamond Dogs. When he arrived he realized why he didn't like coming here a lot, it was because the place was like a maze and not a fun one at that. He continued to walk around for a few minutes until he heard two voices so he followed then to find Rusty talking to another Diamond dog and holding a piece of chicken in his right claw. He turned to the side and saw Daniel.

"Hi Daniel, why you here?" Daniel leaned against the tunnel wall.

"I am looking for Brago, do you know where he is?"

"Yes I do, he is in main hall." Rusty pointed to a tunnel. "That way."

"Thanks." Daniel walked down the tunnel and he soon arrived at the main hall and Daniel saw Brago talking to another dog so he waited until they stopped talking just in case it was important. After about seven minutes Brago finished talking and he turned around to see Daniel leaning against a wall.

"Greetings once more Daniel." Brago said while walking over to him.

"Hello Brago, How are things going here?"

"Going well, been peaceful for few days, a little boring however." Daniel decided to cut the small talk.

"Brago, I am here to ask you something. Does your kind celebrate the holiday coming up that the ponies call Hearts Warming." Daniel still didn't know why they would choose such a name.

"No we don't. Why?"

"Back in my home world there was a similar holiday. It was called Christmas. So I was wondering if you would like to celebrate it?" Brago put his paw on his chin.

"What Thag think of this?"

"He actually decided he would celebrate it and I don't want someone left out so that's why I'm asking you."

"I don't see why not." Daniel was happy to hear this. He decided to do the other thing he arrived here to do.

"Thanks. Now, the generators are almost done. In fact I got word that they might be done by the end of today so do you have somewhere safe and separated that I can make a door to the laboratory?" Brago thought for a moment.

"Not I can think of." Daniel thought for a moment.

"Well, I can make it anywhere but you have to keep it guarded, at least until I know my lab is safe enough for the young ones."

"That not be a problem."

"Ok then." Daniel looked around for a place to make it and found one but he decided to ask just to be safe. "Can I make it there?" Daniel pointed to the side of a table that was in the upper section of the hall that was connected to the lower tables by dirt stairs.

"Sure." When Brago said that Daniel walked up the stairs and to the side, he then proceeded to make the exact same door that he made for Thag back at the citadel but only this time it was much smaller as it was not needed to be large for Brago or any other diamond dog to fit through. When it was done Daniel tested it out by pressing the button and it opened to reveal the dirt wall behind it. When he saw that he snapped his fingers again and the back of the door became metal so nothing could get through it from behind. Daniel also took a bit of dirt from the ground and rubbed it against the inside of the door so he would know which one was which when he connected them. With that Daniel pressed the button again and it closed over. He then walked back down to Brago and he noticed that there was some Diamond dogs looking at what he had made.

"The door is done. All I need to do is connect it when I get back to the lab." Brago smiled at this but then he looked like he just remembered something.

"Daniel, What will be name for alliance?" Daniel froze when he asked that.

"You mean what will the alliance between Diamond dogs, Timberwolves and my robots be called?" Brago nodded at his question and Daniel took a moment to think. "Well, The holiday is not that long away. Perhaps you should discuss it with Thag and we can all chose it when we meet up."

"Good idea." Daniel wanted to stay longer but he had some things that needed to be done.

"I need to go Brago, I have something urgent that needs to be taken care of. See you in a few days, or hours as soon as the connection for the door is made." Daniel was about to turn and leave when Brago asked him something.

"What's wrong?"

"It's my sister. I don't know what to get her for this Holiday. Thag has suggested that I look for a planet that has my own speices on it but the odds of finding something like that are insanely low." Brago looked like he was lost in thought.

"Spending time with own race, might be good for her."

"It might, it also might make her worse off as it could bring back bad memories." Brago shrugged.

"It your gift for her, Your choice."

"Well, Thanks for showing concern and trying to help." Daniel started to walk into a random tunnel.

"Until next time." Brago turned around and walked over to another Diamond dog who was approaching him holding a few gems.

Daniel continued to walk around in the tunnels for a few minutes and when he was sure he was about to find a way out he sometimes found he just went in a circle or found a dead end. He was getting annoyed by this and was a moment away from just blasting upwards and flying out until he remembered he recently learned to teleport. He slapped himself in the face.

"Sometimes, I really hate myself." He whispered to himself before he imagined standing in his living room and to his joy he soon found himself in it as his location instantly changed. While it was a bit strange for him to feel his location change like that he wasn't complaining as it got him out of that maze of tunnels.

Now that he was out Daniel made his PJs appear on him, sat down on a chair in the room and thought over what he would do or get for Annabelle. The more he thought on it the more the same answer came back to him and it was what Thag had suggested, to try and find a world where his kind were alive but Daniel didn't want to do this. He thought it would be a waste of time now and if he wanted to try it then he should have done it a few weeks ago.

Daniel continued to think on it but he was becoming more and more frustrated over it because he could make almost anything without effort which to him meant that if he did put effort into something then it would be pointless and so far he doesn't know something that his powers can't do that he could if he tried normally.

"These powers have caused me just about nothing but trouble ever since I got them." After a few more minutes Daniel gave up on looking for other things to do and just decided to try what Thag mentioned and using what limited knowledge he had from watching some films that were about dimension traveling, he was sure that there would be a universe where his kind was other than his main one. "In my world my species was the only intelligent one and in this world just about all species are intelligent. Also they are far to nice, unlike in my world where such kindness was rare in some locations. That is two opposites. So could there be a universe out there where my species is intelligent and is alive but...they are just as sugar coated as these ponies?" Daniel shuddered at the thought but it was something that seemed possible and it just might get Annabelle to be happy again so he decided to try it. He was about to until he realised that he might hurt himself if he tried to do such a thing as going to another universe which would likely require a lot of energy.

He didn't know what to do, if he tried it he could likely injure himself badly but if he didn't try it then he might be passing an opportunity to learn more and have an entire backup home world. Taking into account that it might also make Annabelle upset again if she saw her kind again and bring back bad memories, he got up and started heading to the pocket dimension where Annabelle was still drawing. Smiling he snapped his fingers and made a bunch of art equipment appear next to her. Paper, paint brushes, pencils, rubbers, crayons, felt tip pens and entire paint cans. She jumped in surprise and turned to face Daniel who was looking in from the door and she smiled.

"Thanks."

He did not want to disturb her so he closed the door over and went to do the other things on his mind. On his way to the lab he opened the door and when he got inside he saw all of his kids together looking at something. He looked at what they were looking at and he saw that the generators were done and active, When Caroline turned to the side to talk to Victoria she saw Daniel standing at the entrance.

"Daddy!" When she said that they all looked over to Caroline and then to Daniel when they saw which way she was looking. Daniel could see they all had a smile on their faces so he walked up to them and stopped when he was beside them. "What do you think Daddy?"

"Yeah, How did we do?" Freddy asked and Daniel smiled at them.

"You all did fantastic." They heard a voice from behind them.

"They sure did." He turned around and saw Alpha who was also looking at the generators. "Now that they're done we can start construction."

"About that Alpha. Could we hold off on it for a little while? It is almost Christmas and I want to celebrate it together. No work getting done for a little while." All of his kids looked at each other.

"Together? Who else will be here, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well besides me and Annabelle, you and my kids if you want to, Thag and Brago. Which reminds me." Daniel looked around and found a clear area at one of the sides and decided to connect the doors now. He snapped his fingers which made two different sized doors appear. Once that was done he opened both of the doors and focused on one at a time, first the small one, he imagined that it was connected to the one that he made in the Diamond dog home and altered the space in it. He saw that the inside of the small door started to glow brightly until it covered the inside and then started to fade. When the glow faded he saw the other side of the same door he made in the Diamond dog home as it had the same dirt mark on it. He then walked over to the larger door and did the same and because there was no dirt mark on the one that he saw next he knew it was connected to the one he made for Thag. "Well now they're done." Daniel turned to his kids, he decided to ask them what they wanted for this holiday coming up. "What do all of you want for this holiday?" When Daniel asked that they all looked at each other and then walked away to a corner where they chatted amongst themselves and after a few minutes Freddy walked up to Daniel who had a notepad, ready to write down what they wanted.

"Daddy, Can you tell us about your parents?" This got Daniel by surprise, he wondered why they would be curious about that.

"Why do you want to know about them?"

"Well you're our dad but we haven't seen you and Auntie's parents, much less heard about them." Daniel sighed. He was going to have to tell them about everything that happened and he didn't want to but he considered them as members of his family, more so because in a way they were him, so they had a right to know.

"Ok. I'll tell you." They all gathered around, even Alpha seemed to be interested in what Daniel was going to talk about.

"I wasn't actually born on this world. The world I was born on was a planet called Earth. If you want to know about it's history then you can ask Alpha, when I made him I stored as much as I thought that could help in his databanks, one being the full history of my race so repeated mistakes are not redone." Daniel continued to give them a brief introduction about what Earth was like before he moved on to what they wanted to hear. "Now about my parents. My Dad's name was Anderson Richard and he worked for a oil company, my mother was called Sofia Bell and before she had me she worked as an Engineer." Daniel chuckled. "When I was young I had a PS1 and she almost always knew what was wrong with it if it acted up." Daniel continued to tell them things about his family and about his previous life before this world. "Then I got accepted into College. I was hoping to go further and learn computer animations after it was done." He kept going on and eventually got up to the part of his getting his powers. How he has to learn to deal with side effects if he hasn't used them. How his parents reacted. How his world ended and then how they were made. By the end of it they were all looking shocked.

"Do...you miss them?" Freddy asked.

"Yes. Why wouldn't I miss my own parents?" Alpha was the next one to speak.

"If I may Boss. Have you went through what your sister is currently going through?"

"Like when she was down in the dumps for a while? No I have not Alpha."

"That might be a bad thing. You're keeping it bottled up and if you do that it will likely result in something worse. How have you managed to stay like this?" Alpha was getting curious about Daniel's mental health.

"The only thing I could think of was keeping her safe and happy. That came above everything I cared about at the time. Now, My job as a Brother, as a entity in training and as a father is to do what I can. I will be fine so don't worry ab-." Daniel did not get to finish.

"NO!" Daniel, Alpha and his kids looked over to discover that Freddy said that and he was walked up to Daniel. "Stop telling us not to worry about you. You're our Dad and we are your children, our place is by your side and we will always worry about you." Daniel gave a small smile at this before he patted Freddy on the head.

"Thanks for reminding me. I tend to not want anyone to worry and that sometimes makes me blind to what I mean to others." Freddy chuckled and all of his other kids approached him, Daniel knew what they wanted. "Oh, Fine." He said with a smile and he then lower to the ground and hugged Freddy and the others joined in and soon Daniel found himself hugging them all. He knew that Annabelle was still his family but today he fully accepted a fact that was in front of him. He had a new Family. He had new friends who were Twilight and the others plus Brago, Thag and Scar. He had a new Life. When he realised this he felt like his heart got lighter and started to tear up. It was held for a few seconds before Alpha spoke.

"I wish to talk to you when you have a moment boss. There is something of minor importance we should discuss." Daniel looked at Alpha and then back at his kids.

"Ok Kids, I need to talk to Alpha for a moment." They all parted from the hug but then Victoria spoke.

"Look. Daddy is crying." Daniel didn't realise he did cry and wiped his eyes and he remember this is the first time his kids have seen him in his PJ top and bottoms. All his kids were chuckling and giggled at his appearance and he didn't blame them. Daniel continued to walk to where Alpha was and when he reached him he stood in front of him.

"What did you want to discuss?"

"I have been thinking and I have found something that has been eluded by us for some time. Do you think we should give the laboratory a name?" Daniel froze at this. He didn't expect to actually give it a name but he decided it might be best as a name chosen by all of them would make this place feel more like their own personnel home.

"Yes, it should. But it should be chose by all of us."

"What about Annabelle?"

"She will likely join us when the others arrive for a celebration. When she does then she can join in with picking the name." Daniel turned around and looked at his kids. "Hey kids, Guess what. We're going to give the Lab a name. Why don't you all discuss it and tell me when you have chosen one?" He saw his kids walk away and started having a chat with each other. He then turned to Alpha. "Why don't you join in? We are all going to give this place a name and you were the one that suggested it. I will be in the living room for a while." Daniel started to walk out of the lab and to the living room where he made his phone appear, put on his ear buds and put some music on while he waited.

After a few minutes Daniel heard the door open and when he looked over he saw Annabelle walk out of the pocket dimension and towards the kitchen but then she turned to him. He took his earbuds out.

"Bro. Can you make something for me?"

"Sure. What do you want?" She went over to the table and sat down.

"The Sandwich tower." Daniel chuckled. This was one of Annabelle's favorite food and she called it 'Sandwich Tower' Mostly because it involved toasting 5 bits of white bread, putting cheese spread on them, putting 1 waffle on each that had been cooked for 20 minute each and then some spinach between the waffles and cheese toast. While it might seem strange she did like it so he made some without his powers over 20 minutes. "Why are you in your PJs?"

"I can just make my clothes appear on me in a instant. Might as well wear something I'm comfy wearing." Annabelle happily munched away at the food he made for her happily and as she did Daniel then heard the door that leads to the lab open and Abbey walked out first, the rest followed until they were in the living room, Annabelle watched from the side.

"We have some ideas for a name ."

"Ok, what are they?" Annabelle spoke before they could.

"What's happening?" Daniel turned to Annabelle.

"We're going to name the laboratory." Annabelle looked a bit hurt at his statement.

"You're not going to let me too?"

"We were going to chose it and then ask you what you thought about it. But now that you are here you can listen to the names and choose with me." Annabelle finished her sandwiches and sat next to Daniel and he looked back to his kids. "What names did you all think of?" Freddy was the first to speak.

"How does The Iron Roller sound?" Daniel got confused at the name.

"Why that name?"

"It crushes everything in it's path." Daniel could see the point in it but it wasn't something you would normally call a laboratory.

"I don't think that's a good name for a lab specifically. But still nice." Caroline was the next to talk.

"What about The automaton?" Daniel like the name but it was more of a name for a thing, not a place.

"Quite good, but that sounds like something you would call a thing, not a place." All of his kids looked at each other. "What? No more?" Freddy spoke.

"Wait. We have one more. How about Aperture?" Daniel's eyes went wide at the mention of that name.

"Why that name, How did you come up with it?" Freddy looked surprised.

"Well, When I asked Alpha about the word I got told it was somewhat related to cameras. Then it hit me. Cameras take an image in the time it was hit and preserves that moment in a picture. The lab can be used to preserve this world, keep it peaceful. If that makes since." Daniel thought on it for a moment.

"I guess it will do." He turned his head to Annabelle. "What do you think?" She giggled.

"I had a name for it. But I like this one and it's meaning." Daniel asked her what the name was.

"What was the name?"

"WonderLab." Daniel smiled and shook his head at the name. "I know. It's dumb."

"Well, Aperture it is then." Daniel told them.

"Daddy?" Daniel turned to Freddy.

"Yes?"

"What do we do now? The generators are done and construction has stopped for the holiday." Daniel knew what Freddy meant, if they were to stay in the house with nothing to do then they would just get bored easily.

"Well...Thag and Brago might be arriving soon, perhaps you could take some time to be friends with them. Also with the doors now connected you can perhaps visit their places if they will allow it." This seemed to make them excited to see new places.

"You mean we can go outside the house?" Daniel smiled at Caroline's question.

"You can wonder the everfree when you are upgraded in the future but if Thag and Brago will let you then you can go to visit their homes." This seemed to cheer them up quite a bit and they jumped on to Daniel.

"Thanks Daddy." Daniel giggled at their behaviour.

"Well then, I think I should introduce you to Brago and Thag." Daniel walked to the door of Aperture and when he opened the door he let his kids and Annabelle enter first and he then followed after closing the door. He walked over to the doors while his kids waited and watched him as he walked over to the metal doors and opened them with the buttons. When they opened they both showed the closed doors on the other side. Daniel chapped the doors and waited. After a few moment the door that was connected to Brago's home opened and Brago stood there, looking amazed to see Daniel, a few moments later the same thing happened with the door that was connected to the Timberwolf citadel. "Hello You two." Daniel said but they were too busy looking around their location. Eventually Thag looked at Daniel.

"Is this what you've been working on?" Daniel smiled.

"Yes it is, also." Daniel turned around and looked at his kids who were all looking at Thag and Brago. "These are my kids that I mentioned." Thag looked to them.

"How can you tell them apart?" Daniel let out a nervous giggle.

"With quite a bit of difficulty and the colours of their armor. I mostly tried to give them names based off of the first letter of the color of their armor." Freddy walked up beside Daniel. "This is Freddy. Honestly if he was a girl but the armour was the same colour I would have given him the name goldilocks."

"Why 'Freddy' specifically?"

"Let's just say it was the name of a character from one of my favourite games. As for the rest of my kids. There is Greg who is grey. Orion who is orange. Robert who is red. Barry who is bronze and Freddy who you just met. That is the boys. The girls are Caroline who is a cream colour. Victoria who is violet. Elizabeth who is ebony. Abbey who is amber and Selene who is blue." Thag raised a twigbrow when Daniel mentioned the last one.

"One girl and one boy with names that don't match their armour colour. Why is that?"

"I was running out of ideas. Besides, their names do relate to their armour, if you knew somethings from back in my world. Anyways. Thag, Brago. Welcome to Aperture." Daniel could see that out the corner of his eye. Annabelle walked up beside Daniel

"You been busy." Brago said.

"Well, outside the lab, quite a bit. I have let my kids do some construction, they have been a great help." As Daniel said that he looked at his kids who smile. "Now, Where is Alpha."

"I'm right here." Daniel jumped in surprise.

"Damn it Alpha. You scared me."

"Could you not hear me?" Daniel remembered that he had enchased scenes but Alpha was right, most times they don't seem to work. He decided to ask PIA about it.

"Why do they sometimes not work?"

"It's your mind. You want to be normal so your subconscious changes your senses to normal most times." Daniel listened around and indeed he didn't notice anything different about his hearing so he then focused and he eventually found he could hear everything that was going on in the lab, all of the machines moving and beeps that he couldn't before and he could see things far away as if they were close up. He could feel the vibrations from the active machines through the ground. He almost covered his ears from the noise he heard and Alpha saw this.

"Boss, are you ok?" Daniel turned back to him.

"Yes Alpha I am fine." He then turned back to both Thag and Brago. "This is Alpha. The first one I made." They both looked at Alpha with curious eyes. As Daniel went out of focus the noises stopped along with the vibrations.

"He looks like you." Daniel heard Brago mention.

"He chose to choose that appearance and I'm not complaining." Alpha spoke.

"It is nice to meet both of you. I'm Alpha. The 2nd in command of this laboratory." They both looked at Alpha with amazement on their faces. Daniel spoke before this got a bit awkward.

"Would you like me to show you around?" Thag and Brago both looked at each other before they looked back at Daniel and nodded. "Ok then."

Daniel showed them around aperture. From the Metal Maker machine to the factory. They seemed to be quite impressed with what had been made and sometimes they stopped for a moment to gaze over it. Everything was going greatly and they eventually stopped and had a talk when Daniel remembered something that was brought up earlier on today.

"Thag. When I was talking with Brago today he had a good point. Have you not thought of a name for the alliance?" Thag shook his head.

"No sadly, I've not thought about a name." Brago spoke next.

"Why not make now? We together, good time for discussing it." Daniel and Thag both agreed with Brago and Daniel decided to ask if his kids and Annabelle could join.

"Can my kids help with choosing a name? They helped me with naming the lab." They both turned to Daniel.

"I don't see why not." Thag told him. Daniel then call his kids over.

"Hey, Kids. Want to help with another name?" They seemed thrilled to help again and walked over to Daniel.

"What kind of name?" Victoria asked.

"Something that's nice, that fits this alliance and not something scary like the skull crushers." Daniel said and his kids walked away and huddled together again and talked between themselves while Daniel Brago and Thag were silent trying to think of a name to use. Annabelle sat beside him and brainstormed too.

Minutes must have passed with the only thing that could be heard was the chatter of Daniel's kids talking in their little group. It was silent for a few more seconds before Daniel heard Thag speak.

"What about the Four Fingered Claw?" Daniel looked at him in confusion.

"Why call it that?"

"Their is four of us. Timberwolf, Diamond dogs, robots and humans. The four fingers. and you have nails, Me and Brago have claws and you robots have...spiky legs. All of us have appendages that have something similar to claws on them." Daniel thought of this for a moment.

"It's a good name but it sounds more like something an assassin clan would be called. We don't want to kill or start any wars. But I will take that into consideration." Daniel snapped his hands and both a notebook and pen appeared and he wrote down the name. "Ok, any more?" Brago soon spoke.

"How about...The...beyonders."

"Reason?"

"You from another universe. From beyond our one." Daniel did not want to hurt Bragos feelings but he had to tell him.

"I don't think that it will be called that. I might be from beyond this universe but you and Thag are not and...." Daniel looked over to his kids. He wondered if they would count as something from beyond as they were him in a way. "....and I think my kids might count as half. But the point is the name needs to be something that does not signify violence and matches all of us." Another long silence fell and in that time Daniel had a idea for a name but decided not to, it might be mean or offensive to both Brago and Thag. "That's a No to 'The Underdogs.' This is harder than it looks."

A few more minutes passed and there was a few more names that were thought of like 'The Alphas and Omegas' which Brago suggested and it meant that the Alpha part was the start, the beginning, of their combined future and the omega represented the end to those who tried to beat them but it was quickly denied as it seemed to represent violence towards other nations.

It couldn't just be called that as it didn't sound right for an alliance name and there was enough titles and names going about based on that word like Daniel's AI named Alpha and both Brago and Thag at one point have been called Alpha so the name was scrapped. More went by like 'The Unnatural Alliance' the 'Rising Legends' and the 'Back To Back Brothers' but most of them did not seem correct as the first one was suggested by Thag because he didn't expect to be in an alliance with the Diamond dogs and a human but other than that there was nothing unnatural besides Daniels powers, so it was scrapped and the other two were considered but to Daniel he thought they sounded more like a team name than an actual alliance.

Soon after Victoria walked up to Daniel and spoke.

"Daddy." Daniel turned to face her.

"Yes Victoria?"

"We have come up with two names. Would you like to hear them?"

"Certainly." Victoria signalled for the others to come over and when they did Freddy spoke.

"The First one is...well...Kind of a joke." Daniel was interested to hear it now.

"Well...what is it?"

"Pest Control." Daniel shook his head with smile on his face and chuckling.

"We're not a company." Caroline now spoke.

"Well what about the other name?"

"What is it?"

"Covenant." Daniel froze when he heard that and then he turned to Caroline.

"What does that even mean?" Alpha Spoke next.

"Covenant. It means an agreement." Daniel wrote it down on his notebook.

"I'll take that into consideration. Can you think of any more?" They shook their heads. "Ok then."

After some time Daniel had gone to ask Annabelle if she wanted to help out with the name but she did not as she just stood at one of the labs corners and waited. After a while Daniel, His kids, Thag and Brago decided to choose one of the names they currently had.

"So we have Four Fingered Claw, Rising Legends, Back to back brothers and Covenant. Which one do you guys think will be the best?" When Daniel asked that Thag spoke to him.

"Which one do you think we should chose Daniel?" Daniel thought for a moment.

"I think I would chose the Covenant as I don't have nails that are sharp enough to resemble Claws and my kids don't have hand or claws of any kind. There is also girls in the alliance, My kids and Rising Legends? I am more or less the only one here. So I'm going with Covenant." Thag spoke next.

"I think I will go with Covenant too. I might have claws but they're not like fingers, like yours are Brago." Brago folded his arms, he seemed to be in thought. He chuckled after a few seconds.

"I Agree, it be best."

"So We all chose Covenant?" Both Brago and Thag nodded at Daniel's question, he looked at Annabelle who gave him a thumbs up and his kids who nodded. "Alright then. Covenant it is." Daniel heard yawning next to him and saw Annabelle was starting to fall sleep. She was trying to continue a drawing but she could barely stay awake, he took out his phone from his pocket and checked the time. it was 10:35. Daniel turned back to Thag and Brago. "I need to get my sister to her bed." Brago was next to speak.

"I need to get back too. Others might be worried." He walked over to the door that lead back to his home and pressed the button causing it to open.

"See you some other time then Brago." Daniel waved to him as the door on his side closed over.

"I think I should be getting back too. It was nice meeting you and your kids Daniel." Thag went back through the door that lead to the citadel and closed it from Thag's side. Daniel walked over to the door and pressed the button causing it to close over from his side, he then walked over to where Annabelle was sitting and spoke to her.

"Hey Annabelle? You ok?" She nodded and yawned again. Daniel giggled. "You look like you're tired. Come on, lets get you to bed." Daniel picked Annabelle up and carried her out but as he did he saw that his kids were looking at her with some worried looks. "She is fine. She just needs a rest." Daniel picked up her incomplete drawing which was of Thag, her pencil and continued to carry her back to the pocket dimension where he laid her down on the tree bed and placed the covers over her and lastly he placed the drawing and pencil she had with her, with her other art equipment. He went back to the living room but before he did he took one last look back at where she was sleeping to make sure she was ok before he left the pocket dimension and headed for the living room, where he then sat down and resumed watching some DVDs until it was morning.

When morning finally arrived Daniel started to wonder about what he was going to do today. He was not expecting Mother Nature or any other entities to visit him today and the more the thought about it the more he wanted to head back into space. He did go into it with Mother Nature and at first it was scary but it later became awesome and he wanted to do it more often.

All of his friends were likely busy with preparing for the upcoming holiday and the celebration was still a while away so he laid on the couch wondering what he should do. Something caught his eye after a few seconds. It was something from the outside of his house and when he got up and opened the curtains he saw there was snow covering the everfree. He remembered back at home he and Annabelle would sometimes get into snowball fights and that gave him an idea. He headed back to the pocket dimension and opened the door to find her still asleep, he checked the time on his phone to find out it was 7:49 so he closed the door back over and headed back to the living room to wait on her. While he sat down a thought crossed his mind.

"Why can't my kids join in on the snowball fight? Well they don't have hands, just legs for walking and other than that they only have construction tools for building." Never the less Daniel didn't want his kids to miss out on today so he snapped his fingers and made several semi circle scoopers appear and headed to Aperture. When he entered he saw his kids playing leapfrog but they soon stopped when Abbey saw him and the others soon followed. He walked up to them still holing the scoopers. "Hey kids. Want to have a snowball fight?" When he asked they all looked at each other like they were looking for an answer but then another thought crossed his mind. "Are you all water resistant?" They looked back at him and Freddy spoke.

"We were made from your blood daddy. Water does not affect us like it does to normal bots. Also...." Freddy looked back to the others who just nodded after they talked for a moment. "Is it snowing?" Daniel nodded at his question. "Ok then. But we can't make snowballs, we don't have hands like you do." Daniel giggle and handed Freddy a scooper.

"You can use that." A side hatch opened and Freddy took the scooper with a metallic claw. Daniel then handed the rest of the scoopers out to the rest of his kids and after they all had one they were just about to go out of Aperture and head outside when he heard Victoria speak.

"Is Auntie Annabelle going to join us?" They all looked to Daniel for a answer.

"She might later, she is sleeping and she seems to be focused on her drawings lately, so she might." When he finished saying that he headed for the front door of his house and his kids followed him. When he got to the front door he picked up the key that he kept on a nearby desk then used it to open the door. When he opened the door he saw the snow covered up all of the ground and there was no leaves on any of the trees. He turned back to his kids and watched them as they looked at the snow and after a few seconds Greg took one step into the snow while the others looked, when Greg took his first step into it a smile appeared on his face and he ran out. "Don't go too far!" Daniel turned back to the others who now walked out into the snow but he stopped Robert to ask him something. "Why were you all standing there looking at the snow. Surly you know what it is?"

"Yes we do, but this is our first time we have actually seen it." Daniel nodded and moved to the side to let Robert run out with the rest of them and when he turned around to face them Daniel felt something hit him in the chest. Daniel quickly realised that Greg had just thrown a snowball at him.

"Gotcha." All of the others looked at Daniel to see what he would do next and after a moment they got a bit worried as Daniel hadn't moved. "Daddy?" When Daniel looked at Greg he had a large grin on his face and he quickly picked up some snow and threw it at Greg. "Crap." Greg tried to dodge it but it managed to hit him at his side and when it did he stopped. He turned to Daniel with what looked like anger but it was quickly replaced with a smile. "It's on now. This is war!" What happened next Daniel didn't expect, all of his kids were looking at him the same way that Greg was and they then started scooping up the snow and throwing it at Daniel.

"1 against 10 is not fair." All he heard when he said that was a few chuckles from his kids. "Oh, you cheeky little...Time to even the odds." Daniel started to teleport around the place to avoid most of the snowballs.

"Daddy, that's not fair." He hid out of their sights.

"That's funny coming from the kids who think 10 on 1 is fun." Daniel heard a door open and when he looked over he saw Annabelle had opened the front door to the house and peeked her head out.

"No you don...Crap." Daniel heard Freddy say as he threw a snowball from the scooper he had at the door and by what he started to say he seemed to think Daniel was heading back in to get away from them, so he threw it as quickly as he could. Freddy tried to catch the snowball he just threw by jumping after it but he missed and landed right into the snow while the snowball he threw hit Annabelle on the forehead. Annabelle seemed like she was going to ask something before the snowball struck her. Freddy got back up and looked at Annabelle who didn't look amused. "Uh....hey a little help." Freddy looked over to the others who all shook their heads.

"You're on your own for this one." Freddy turned back to Annabelle who had just wiped the snow from her forehead and picked up some snow from the ground and threw it at Freddy who backed away after it hit him.

"Gotcha." Annabelle said with a grin as she grabbed more snow but when she realized she was in her PJs she ran back in to get changed. Daniel on the other hand didn't feel cold but decided to do the same. Snapping his fingers he had some heavy inter clothes appear on him, he then walked out from his hiding spot and towards the house. His kids were ready to throw more snowballs when they saw him at first but stopped and looked at him when they saw he was walking towards the house.

When Daniel entered the house he saw Annabelle putting on some clothes. He realized he didn't make her any winter clothes so he made some appear for her that were the same as his.

"There you go."

"Thanks" She took them and headed to her room

A little while later she came down the stairs and was fully dressed in heavy winter clothes.

"I'm Ready." She said and they both went out the front door.

"It's not over Daddy." Freddy said and then launched a snowball at Daniel from the scooper he had but Daniel avoided it easily and grinned at Freddy and the others when it missed. Annabelle made a snowball and was ready to throw it.

"You will need to be faster than that." They giggled and chuckled when he said that.

"We will be." When Caroline said that they all simultaneously scooped up some snow and got ready to throw at him once more.

"Bring it on." Daniel told them with the grin still on his face and Annabelle with snowball ready in her hand.

Freddy was having fun but the laughter he had in this would likely pail in comparison to the laughter he will have when he sees that plant pony again and gives her the letter they made. "I wonder if she will take Daddy for a date." He though before getting back to the snowball fight.
