Chapter 21: Pinkie the Random

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It’s been awhile since Daniel had taken Selene into space and as soon as the others found out they all wanted to experience it. It was quite a trip for the most part, but the scariest part for Daniel was when Elizabeth panicked after she looked down and lost her grip. Daniel swore he felt his heart stop beating when he saw her falling, but quickly caught her in mid-fall.

Now all of his kids have been on a trip into space and had different thoughts about it. Daniel even heard them talk about it sometimes in their conversations. He was planning to take Annabelle on the same trip, but decided to not do it until he finds a way to keep her breathing during the full thing.

The past few days have been relatively peaceful besides with a few hassles with the diamond dogs and some Timberwolves feeling uneasy about seeing Daniel's robots, but they soon settled down when their leaders, Brago and Thag, assured them that they were safe. The heat that nature warned him about did hit the day after he took Freddy on the space trip and he just decided to stay home. He did forget at one point but Twilight, being the bookworm and smarty she is, managed to make a suppression spell so her urge was under control, it was only after a mare tried to jump on him and ended up knocking herself out on impact that he remembered.

It was the middle of the night and Daniel was training outside in the front of his Everfree house. He has been trying to get his body adapted to using stronger amounts of cosmic energy and has been successful so far. He had a few errors along the way while training, like when he tried to learn how to control fire, but it just ended up blowing up in his face when he put too much energy into it. He decided to take a break from his training, so he sat down on the ground and looked up into the night sky.

He saw the moon which was illuminating the forest beautifully and looked around at all the other stars that he could see in the sky. He had looked at the stars before, but now that he actually took some time to have a proper look he was amazed at them and with no lights to interfere it just made it better. As he was looking up into the sky he could only compare the sight he was seeing to one of those images that you would find on Google about the night sky. They looked so good that someone could easily mistake them for fake drawings rather than the real deal.

"I bet Annabelle would love to see this." As he said that something clicked in his mind. He remembered that he sky in Terabithia was just a plane black sky with nothing in it but a small sun, so he looked back at the sky and then closed his eyes, taking a mental taking the picture of the sky in his mind and started to head back home. When he entered it he saw Annabelle was fast asleep and cuddling Gary who was looking up at the sky and he waved at Daniel when he entered. When he saw how cute they looked it caused a small smile to appear on his face.

He turned his attention back to the empty sky and raised his hand with his palm facing to the right and imagined that the sky in this place would look like that of the one he saw outside. He spun around in a circle, keeping his palm facing outward towards the sky and imagined he was using his hand to spray-paint the image. When he had spun in a full circle he opened his eyes and saw that the sky in Terabithia was almost the same as the one outside.

He looked at Annabelle, wondering if he had woken her and was happy to see he hadn’t so he quietly snuck out of Terabithia where he met Freddy after he closed the door.

"Freddy? Why aren’t you with the others?"

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Ask away."

"Is it true you’re going to tell your pony friends about us?" Daniel was surprised by Freddy's question.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Auntie Annabelle told us about it a few days ago." Daniel smiled.

"Ok, it’s true. I’m planning on doing it but only my friends will know about it. But I'm unsure about how the princesses or other ponies will take it. Considering not just what I can do, but how much more advanced we are and who we are allied with, they will likely see us as a threat and I don't want to have a war on my hands anytime soon. So until I can trust Twilight not to go yapping, or any of the others. I’m not saying a thing." Freddy looked a bit disappointed.

"Oh, I was hoping we would get some new friends to play with soon. Daddy, if you are doing anything, can I join?" Daniel raised an eyebrow at Freddy.

"Why are you not playing with the others?"

"I got bored of that, to be honest it is almost always the same stuff. Can I join you?" Daniel smiled at Freddy.

"Sure you can." Daniel started to walk to the front door and Freddy followed him. When they were outside Daniel closed the door and stood beside Freddy as he looked at the starry sky. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes, from here anyway. I thought going up to space would allow us to see them closely. I guess not." Daniel heard a bit of sadness in Freddy's voice and decided to try and comfort him.

"Don't feel bad. Seeing them like this is better. I mean think about it, most of those stars could be light-years away and even if we got close to them they wouldn’t be as nice to look at. Instead all we would get is a giant fire ball that’s very dangerous, or worse. What they leave behind when they die." Daniel did like it when he went into space many times, but on his seventh trip with Abby she asked what happens when stars die causing Daniel to remember.
Ever since then he has been very cautious and always ready to teleport back if it’s needed. While he could teleport, it required a lot of concentration and just the thought of being close to something like that scared him. He remembered that he heard that fear inhibits the mind so he wasn’t taking the chance with one of them. It was also not the gravity from black holes that scared him, it was the fear that he would likely need to use lots of power to escape it and die in the process.

"Daddy?YooHoo." Daniel shook his head and saw Freddy was waving one of his legs at him and it was then he realized he had dozed off.

"Sorry about that. What were you saying?" Freddy shook his head.

"I asked you what you meant about that.”

"Don’t you know?" Freddy shaked his head. "You don't know? I thought that I gave Alpha the knowledge of human humanity.”

"I’m not Alpha, I’m me and I was only given language knowledge when I was made...or born. We made the generators because Alpha was telling us how to do it through transmission for the most part." Daniel sat down on the grass and looked up at the sky before sighing.

"Ok, I’ll tell you. When a star dies, depending on its mass, it will either shred apart or explode in a supernova. What is left behind can be one of 3 things. It becomes a white dwarf star if the mass was low, a neutron star if the mass was large and a black hole if the mass was huge. It's the black hole that scares me, because it's an almost inescapable abyss of pure darkness, from what the outside looks like. If you pass the event horizon you will not escape, not even light can get out. Think about that, you are floating in space like normal and then you feel a pull, over a few minutes there is a little dark hole that you see from far away but it’s now closer and it keeps getting closer until you get pulled in completely. But before you even get close the change in gravity is so great per millimeter, that if you get even remotely close it will rip you down to atoms, piece by piece, while you watch parts of your body speed away into the void." Daniel got his senses together and mentally slapped himself. "Nice going stupid, now Freddy will probably have nightmares. Does he and the others even sleep?" He looked down to see Freddy shivering and holding onto him.

"What happens after that?"

"No one truly knows. Your atoms could re-materialized anywhere thanks to the singularity having no laws or you could die." Daniel remembered he could ask PIA about it, because he knows he wouldn’t try such a thing.

"Hey PIA, what happens inside a black hole?"

"That’s something I don’t know." Daniel was a bit disappointed with the answer. As Daniel and Freddy sat down on the grass Daniel got a question that he wanted to ask.

"Hey Freddy. How is Alpha doing?"

"He’s been quite distant from us recently. Why? Is something wrong?" Daniel had a bad feeling about Alpha, normally he was always working on things like upgrades or plans to help out the Covenant Alliance that was going on but recently he had been acting strange, like he had found an error that he can't pass.

"Oh great. Is he glitching out? Am I going to have to fix him? If so I hope I can. Creating him was hard but I knew how to, sort of. I might make a big mistake if I try and use my powers to repair him and I still don’t know the full limits of my power." Daniel looked back at Freddy. "You don't need to worry about it. I’ll deal with it if it’s a problem. Also don't let that Black hole thing worry you. I would be there to protect you."

"You would? But what if you die?" Daniel didn’t know how to respond to that. He remembered Mother Nature said that if he died then his kids would die too. Daniel decided not to tell Freddy, he didn’t want them sacrificing themselves to protect him. "Daddy?" Daniel looked back at Freddy who was expecting an answer.

"I don't know."

"Can we go for a walk in the forest?" Freddy asked and Daniel smiled.

"Ok, But stay close to me." Daniel walked back to the door of his house and locked it before heading into the forest. Freddy walked beside him the whole time. Daniel was worried that Freddy might not see him in the dark so he made him aware of it. "Now stay close to me. I don’t want to lose you in the dark of the forest. In fact how about I carry you?"

"Would you?" Freddy asked with glee. Daniel smiled and picked Freddy up then walked off into the forest.

Daniel and Freddy have been traveling for a few minutes and haven’t seen much. Daniel did see some snowy mountains in the distance and Daniel wanted to take a trip up them. He didn’t know why but he liked the thought of taking a walk up snowy mountains at night. Eventually Freddy wanted to be let down and walked beside Daniel, as he walked he was constantly looking around at the scenery. They continued walking and after a while they heard a voice.

"It's been awhile since we last met Daniel." The tree that Daniel was facing started to move and when Daniel saw the face on the tree he recognized him right away.

"Barrek? What are you doing here?" Freddy was hiding behind Daniel.

"I moved location. It takes time for us to get somewhere but we can still walk like you." Barrek saw Freddy hiding behind Daniel. "Who might that be, it's not who I saw with you before."

"He’s Freddy. One of my Children." Daniel heard another voice from behind.

"Is this the human you mentioned?" Daniel saw another treeminder. This one was about 2 feet less tall than Barrek and had a moustache made of moss.

"Oak. I didn’t recognize you there, and yes this is the human I mentioned." Oak chuckled.

"So you’ve been helping our Timberwolve friends. I heard the Diamond dogs have stopped cutting down trees now. Thanks for stopping the fight between those two."

"I am just trying to be nice." Daniel said to Oak. He then looked down at Freddy who was shyly hiding behind Daniel. "Don't worry Freddy, these are nice guys." Freddy walked out to the side.

"Uh...Hi..." Freddy started to shake before running back behind Daniel.

"A creature of metal? So what Thag said was true, they are real." Daniel turned to Barrek when he mentioned that.

"His name is Freddy and if you look at his eye you can see it is green, the ones with green eyes are my kids and they have feelings."

"Anyway, What are you doing out here?" Barrek asked.

"I am just on a walk with Freddy. He wanted to go for one."

"Daddy. Can we go back home now?" Daniel chuckled at Freddy's question.

"You nervous?" He asked while looking at Freddy who looked at both Oak and Barrek with a bit of fear. "Well, he is just a kid and they are like 10 times his size." Daniel turned back to Barrek. "Sorry to cut this short but Freddy is a bit uneasy. We’ll speak again in the future." Daniel turned around and started to walk away but he was stopped by a question that Barrek asked.

"Before you leave Daniel, I must ask. Have you seen a creature of dark mist or a flying pink cat like creature?" Daniel turned back to Barrek and changed into his shadow form and then into his Mew form before going back to normal. Needless to say both of them were surprised.

"I’m both of those creatures. Why?"

"I heard a Timberwolf mention how he heard some pony rumours that the ponies might be sending professional scouts into the everfree to try and find them and study them." Daniel smiled in his mind. He wondered if he should turn into either of them and play around with the ponies for a while. Daniel then had a question hit him in his head, he thought he knew the answer but he wanted to make sure. "PIA, Why do I keep saying 'Mew' in my mew form and not speak normally?"

"That form is sub-consciously based off of something which you have memory of. So you changed to match it as best as possible." He was satisfied with that answer but at the same time it made him more annoyed.

"It's just one thing after another with these powers. I swear after I get my revenge I’m unmerging with this thing. I never asked for it and I’m not willing to spend the rest of my life watching all my friends and others pass away or if I keep them alive then I don’t want them to be upset about who they care about always passing away." But as soon as Daniel thought that another thought hit him. Would his kids still live if he unmerged with it? If he does that then is he not leaving them to be alone as he fades away to time? Daniel placed his hands on his face and he was shaking a bit in sadness and frustration.

"Daddy? Are you ok?" He looked at Freddy who was looking at him curiously. While he couldn’t read Freddy's facial expression he felt like his consciousness was telling him Freddy was curious.

"I’m fine Freddy, Just a bad thought." Daniel turned back to Barrek. "Don't worry about the ponies. Everything should be fine but I should be going home. I’ll see you another time."

"Farewell Daniel." Barrek said as Daniel and Freddy took their leave.

Daniel and Freddy started to retrace their steps but as they did Daniel was looking at the scenery again and when he looked off to the side he saw what looked like some kind of purple mist but soon after he saw it, it disappeared. Shrugging it off they continued walking and they arrived back home and Daniel opened the door, letting Freddy in before he went in just as the sun started to rise. Freddy wandered off back to aperture and Daniel headed to check on Annabelle. She was just starting to wake up from her treebed so he quickly left and started to make her some cereal.

Annabelle soon walked out of Terabithia, as she walked passed the kitchen Daniel looked over to her with a smile and she smiled back before taking a seat in the living room. Daniel soon arrived with a bowl of cereal and handed it to her.

"Here you go."

"Thanks." She said as she took the bowl but she asked something before she started eating. "What are we doing today?" Daniel sat down on a single chair that was close to him.

"Well, we could go and see our friends again, if you want to." Daniel jumped in realisation. "Oh that reminds me, you wanted to go to school. Well if you forgot, you have been accepted. You can go today or tomorrow if you still want too." Annabelle stopped eating and thought for a moment.

"I think I’ll go tomorrow." Daniel got up from his seat.

"Well then, eat up. We’ll be leaving soon."

"Daniel. When will you tell them who we are?" Daniel thought for a moment.

"Well...I heard that they might be sending scouts into the everfree so if I let them get use to my Mew form and they don’t do anything bad, I will start to reveal more of myself. When they are used to me, my friends especially, I will ask them a few questions on how they see me and what they think. If it's positive then I will tell Applejack, she is honesty so if she promises to keep it a secret she won’t lie. If it's positive with her then I will tell the rest of them. I will tell Twilight last. I don’t need her reporting anything to Celestia."

"So…soon?"

"If they react positively and honestly, then yes. It will be soon. But Annabelle, This is only about what we are. None of what I can do or anything about aperture or the Alliance, understood?" She nodded with a smile. "Good." As Daniel stood against the wall and waited for Annabelle to finish his mind started to wonder. "What are my parents feeling if they are watching me from the dead realm right now? Are they upset I couldn’t protect them? Are they happy I’m doing my best for Annabelle? I wish they were here with us more than anything."

"Bro?" Daniel looked at Annabelle who was holding her empty bowl and was looking at him curiously. "Are you crying?" Daniel wiped his face and there were indeed some tears there.

"Don't worry about it. Put your dishes in the sink and go get changed." Annabelle started to walk to the kitchen but she was still looking at him until she was out of sight. When she was Daniel sat back down on the chair and thought about what he had thought about in the forest. "I Can't unmerge with it, it would likely kill my kids, but I don't want to stay merged with it forever. I don't want to see all that I care about fade away while I remain. Sure I could reverse time to keep some young but - " Daniel sighed. All he wanted was his old life back. No kids to worry about. No ponies or secrets. Just his old life. He would have also considered to have his kids with him in his old life but he knew that it was highly unlikely.

Annabelle soon returned and was fully dressed in her outdoor clothes.

"I'm ready." She said.

"Ok." Daniel turned them into their pony forms and as they changed their clothes disappeared. "Right. Let's go." With that they both went to their ponyville house and out to ponyville.
"Where are we going first?" She asked as they both stood outside their ponyville house.

"To Twilight's house." Both of them started to walk to Twilight's house and were greeted along the way by Lyra and Sweetie Drops but was sadly no more than a friendly wave. When they got to the library Daniel chapped the door and waited for a few seconds but nobody came to the door. "They don't seem to be here. Annabelle, do you want to go to the park?"

"Sure." She said with a smile.


Nature was in the home of the entities and currently in the security area where they kept a heart piece stored and protected. She stood next to the heart piece, looking at it in wonder.
“Is a New heart bearer now really needed? I mean Archie could beat King N so why is another bearer needed now?” She asked herself before sighing and placing her wooden tree hand on the glass that kept the piece safe. “I wish I could speak to you again my old friend. You knew Daniel would be the next bearer. You knew King N would suddenly become bad. You knew about the memory gaps we have in that time zone and even time travel can’t reveal what happened. Why didn’t you tell me?” She asked like someone would answer her and she just shook her head. “Me and my rambling.”

The heart piece started to shine brighter which caught her attention and as she kept looking at it she started to feel dizzy and closed her eyes. When she opened them again she was in a new location which had what looked like a blue glass floor with clouds going across it that went no further up passed her knees and the sky was dark like night.

“Nature.” She heard a voice and looked in the direction to see a figure in black robes with the hood up. She instantly realised who she was. Her friend the previous heart bearer.

“You’re here? But you’re long gone?”
“This is a message that I put into this heart piece and I am currently looking through time, talking with you through a recording from the past.” Nature walked up to her.

“So you heard what I asked?” She asked.
“Yes and I put this message here for you and made the heart piece give it to you. You asked why a new heart bearer was needed. Listen Nature, you trust me and I trust you, so I will be honest with you. King N is not the biggest threat currently.”

“What do you mean? Who else is there?”

“I can’t tell you. But you will find out yourself. This threat puts King N to shame and only a heart bearer has the power to take this one down. Even if you and Archie fused together I don’t think that would be enough to stop it.”
“Speaking of King N, why did he go crazy? You know what happened to him, don’t you?” The previous bearer nodded to her question.
“All you need to do is train Daniel. Keep his spirit up and help him if he needs it. He is much stronger than you realize. He constantly keeps his power suppressed to the point of non existence and this is just him normally. Don’t get me started on if he got serious.” Nature chuckled.

“I heard when you got serious when sparing with Archie you two almost destroyed not only the home of the entities but also the entire pocket dimension in one connected punch.” The previous bearer grinned under the hood and shook her head.

“Sorry about that. Nature. I can’t keep this message going for much longer. I am recording this after I unmerged with my heart after it was damaged and in pieces. Not to mention my other messages in the other pieces. The power I have that I am using to talk with you is limited and running out.”

“So will this be the last time I see you?” The bearer shacked her head. “You will only see me once more. Before this message cuts off I will say this. Stay strong and be nice to Daniel. You know full well what Daniel is to me. What he means.” Nature nodded and the landscape became static and when she blinked she found herself standing back in front of the heart piece.
“So there is a bigger threat than King N? But what?”


Bravacho entered the hotel room with a groan and in a pony disguise. He had a gray coat and his hair and tail were white and his eyes were emerald green. As he entered he pressed his wrist device and turned back to normal.

"What's wrong dear?" Dravia asked as she peeked out of the bathroom, she was also in a pony disguise. She was a light yellow with a dark brown tail and hair and her eyes were aqua.

"Another day and we are still no closer to finding the heart bearer. Why would he or she be on a planet like this anyway?"

When they first arrived on this planet Dravia went to get help at a city that was close by, it turns out they arrived in white tail woods and the city close by was Las Pegusus. Dravia took Bravacho's wrist device and used it on both of them which changed them into the first thing she scanned it with which was a Pegasus pony that wondered close by. She made further modderations to their disguises and now they had their own unique pony forms. She went to get help and Bravacho made a quick recovery with just some anti-biotics and a few bandages, thankfully no blood test was needed.

The injuries Bravacho obtained were now gone and they were resting in a hotel room that the owner let them use until Bravacho fully recovered, which he had just done today. So they knew they had to get a place to stay.

"Perhaps he or she likes it here. It is very peaceful." Dravia and Bravacho have been on equestria for some time and in all that time they have not had a clue as to who or where the heart bearer is. Dravia clearly saw her future husband was frustrated so she decided to comfort him. "Dear, don’t worry. We’ll find him or her and when we do we will make King N pay for what he’s done, together.

"I don't want to kill him. I want him to see what he’s doing is wrong. I want my father back. He was never like this, it all started when...i don’t know"

"None of us remember him like this.”

"What caused him to suddenly become like this? Is he doing it for defence? Is there some kind of threat he knows about that we don’t and these things are steps to stop it?" He groaned in frustration as his brain rattled trying to find an answer.

"Sometimes, there are those who can't be saved." It hurt her to say that to Bravacho but it was the truth. Bravacho started to cry and when she saw this she dropped her disguise and sat with him on the bed and hugged him.

"I just want my father back." Bravacho said while sobbing. Dravia looked over at a suitcase which she knew contained the heart piece they managed to get away from King N and then back at her crying lover.

"We can try, we can try." She said while stroking his hair.


Daniel and Annabelle were walking away from the park after being there for a while. Daniel was thinking of how he would reveal his mew form a bit more to his friends again. He decided it would be best to do it when they’re all happy and together. As they walked in the park they heard Twilight's voice.

"Spike, this magic need's our full attention to make it happen. There's no other way." Daniel looked in the direction he heard her voice and saw Twilight looking at Spike who was lying down on the ground.

"I can't help it. Look!" After Spike said that Twilight looked at whatever he was looking and saw Daniel and Annabelle did the same only to see Pinkie quickly moving to hide under different things and watching the sky while she was wearing a umbrella hat.

"Never mind her;she’s just being Pinkie pie."

"Super extra Pinkie pie today." Daniel was curious as to why Pinkie was acting like this as he’d never seen it before. Before he could start moving to Pinkie to ask he heard Twilight's voice again.

"Cosmos!" He turned to face Twilight and Spike who were running up to him. "Strawberry. Are you feeling better?"

"Much, thank you." Daniel smiled at Twilight.

"Morning Twilight, do you know what's up with Pinkie?" Daniel asked indicating to Pinkie who was holding her tail as it twitched.

"I don't know but I was hoping to find out."

"Well, I’ve never seen her like this." Daniel added.

"Want to help me find out what’s wrong?" Twilight asked.

"Sure, she’s acting more unusual than her unusual self." With that Twilight, Daniel, Spike and Annabelle walked up to Pinkie.

"Pinkie Pie, what in the wide, wide world of Equestria are you up to?" Pinkie jumped up to Twilight's face.

"Oh, it’s my tail, it's my tail. It's a twichin, twichin, and you know what that means." Daniel was lost. He had no clue.

"Actually Pinkie, Ihaven’t the slightest idea."

"I agree with Twilight on this one Pinkie, I have no clue too." Daniel added.

"The twichin means my Pinkie senses are telling me that stuffs gonna start falling. You should duck for cover." Daniel looked around and he saw nothing, on the ground or in the sky.

"Oh Pinkie, it's not gonna rain. There's barely a cloud in the sk-" Twilight didn’t finish her sentence as a frog fell out of nowhere and landed right on her face and then croaked.

"He just said. Nice catch in frog." Daniel resisted the urge to chuckle.

"Oh, I'm so, so sorry." Daniel looked up to see fluttershy carrying a waggon of frogs. He didn’t question that the waggon looked like it was on solid ground when it was clearly in the sky because the answer was likely magic. "Are you ok Twilight Sparkle? I just couldn't stand to see the pound get so over, what with the frogs hopping into each other and all so I decided to fly as many as I can over to froggy bottom bog." The frog on Twilight's face started to move around and Twilight looked unamused.

"Of course you did."

"If you're trying to find your frog prince, you're doing it wrong Fluttershy." Daniel thought as he saw Fluttershy fly off.

"Bye Bye." She said holding the basket with her mouth. As she left Pinkie looked at Twilight.

"Uh, Twilight, You got a little something on your face there." Pinkie indicated to the frog.

"Oh, really. Did your Pinkie sense tell you that too?" She asked.

"Nah, I could just see it." She replied like it was not a rhetorical question before happily walking away. As she did the frog hopped off of Twilight's head causing it to shake.

"Come on Spike. Let's continue our practice session where there's a little less commotion." Twilight started to walk away and Daniel forgot to ask.

"Hey Twilight, What’re you practicing?"

"Molecule alteration. Turning one thing into another." She said with a smile.

"Interesting." Daniel was a little impressed as he had never seen that be done by magic. Spike jumped on Twilight's back.

"Wow. That was amazing, Pinkie Pie predicted something would fall, and it did." Twilight didn’t look impressed.

"Oh come on, she said something would fall and a frog just happened to be around at the same time, a coincidence. Nothing else to it." Just as Twilight finished saying that Pinkie pie rushed back over to them.

"My Tail, My Tail. Twitch-a-twitch. Twitch-a-twitch! Something else is gonna fall." Daniel looked around the area for anything that could possibly be a falling hazard but saw nothing. Twilight continued walking.

"On please, nothing else is gonna fall." Just as she finished saying that she fell into a ditch.

"Oh no, Twilight fell. Is it safe to go and help her? My tail stopped twitching." Pinkie removed her hat and walked off happily. Daniel went to help Twilight up off the ground but she got up herself.

"It's ok Cosmos." She said.

"Wow. That was amazing.” Spike said, directed towards Twilight. Daniel was starting to wonder what’s up with Pinkie pie and why all this has happened just like she said it would.


"Oh Please." Twilight was about to say more until she heard Applejack's voice.

"Eh, Cosmos, Twilight. Why areya'all hanging out in the ditch?" Spike turned to face Applejack and spoke.

"Because Pinkie pie predicted it." Twilight rose her head out from the ditch

"Honestly Spike, she did not. 2 coincidences in a row like this may be unlikely but it's still easier to believe than twitchy tails that predict the future." Twilight shook her tail to try and make her point. But Applejack seemed to panic when she mentioned Twitchy tail.

"Twitchy tail?Pinkie sense." Applejack ran for cover under something and watched the sky. Spike ran up to her and spoke.

"It's ok, you're safe. Prediction already came true." Spike said pointing to Twilight.

"Oh wait. Don't tell me you believe in this stuff too?" Applejack got out from the stall she was hidden under.

"Ah know it doesn't make much sense but those of us who have been in ponyville a while have learned that if Pinkies twitchin, you better listen." Pinkie arrived again.

"My ears are flapping. My ears are flapping." Spike seemed to panic. Daniel was trying to think of a solution for why Pinkie is acting like this. Annabelle was just watching with a confused expression.

"What does that mean?" Pinkie looked over to Twilight and Daniel.

"I'll start a bath for you." Applejack and Spike backed off. Daniel looked around and while he saw no clouds over him he did see a muddy puddle behind him.

"A bath?This thing keep on getting more ridiculous by the minute." Daniel saw a donkey pulling a cart and he was coming their way so he moved to the side and as the cart passed it soaked Twilight in mud, some of it jumped further and landed on Daniel's front leg. Twilight let out a growl of annoyance.

"I’ll get her cleaned up. This way Twilight." Pinkie started to lead Twilight to sugar cube corner. Applejack looked at Daniel.

"She shoulda listened." She said shaking her head. Daniel shook his hoof and was happy when the mud actually came off easily.

"Hey Applejack, what is it with Pinkie? Why haven’t I seen her like this before?" Daniel asked.

"Pinkie gets these feeling that she can use to predict the future."

"So wait. She has ESP? Is she psychic?" Applejack looked confused.

"What's ESP?" Daniel facehoofed.

"Never mind, just a word from my home. But the point is why has Pinkie not had any before now. She had none when Nightmare moon arrived. No one told of things like this before. So why now?" Daniel wanted to know the answer. Applejack stopped looking at him oddly and answered.

"I don't know." Daniel felt his eye twitch but decided to let it go. He still barely knows anything about his powers and he has had them for quite some time now.

Daniel and Applejack were talking for a while, Applejack was asking Daniel about his home and what it was like. Daniel tried to avoid conversations about it but he decided to let a little truth be told. When Applejack asked why he left his home he said 'We needed a new one.' The Applejack asked what was wrong with it and why they couldn’t go back to which Daniel just said. 'Things happened, not just to me but also to the ones who lived there and now we can't go back. Please, just leave it at that.' They kept on talking for a few more minutes and no matter how much Daniel tried to push Applejack away she kept asking about his home and Daniel decided to come clean.

"Strawberry. Go to Twilight's library and wait for me there." He waited until Annabelle was out of his sight and out of earshot before he turned his attention back to Applejack. "Applejack, can you please just drop the subject."

"Now Coz, we are your friends. We look out for each other, and ah can tell from our talk that ya have had a bit of ah troubled past. I just want to know what the problem is to see if I can help you get passed it." Daniel sighed.

"You want to know about my home? Fine, I’ll tell you. Everyone in it died when it was...destroyed." Applejack looked surprised.

"Oh, coz, am sorry about that, ah just thought it was a problem like it was abandoned because of bad business or something. I didn't think it was that bad." Daniel looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"Don't tell the others. I still don't feel ready to let them all know. If i do Pinkie might throw me a ‘cheer up party’ or Twilight might read up on 'The psychology of loss' or something like that. I don't want others trying to comfort me over it, I will get over it myself, I hope., Strawberry already has." Daniel said 'I hope' under his breath.

"Is that why we hadn't seen'er for a while?"

"Yes." Applejack had a genuine look of sadness on her face.

"Ah promise I won't say a thing. But I do have one more thing to ask. What about yer parents?" Daniel froze up when Applejack asked that. He started to feel angry, mostly at himself for still being unable to do something to help them. Eventually he sighed and replied.

"They perished with the town. I and my sister were the only survivors."

"Say no more. Ya have mah word. I won't say anything of it." Daniel saw this as an opportunity. If Applejack kept his promise a secret then he would likely trust her more and tell her about whom he truly is. Sometime in the future anyway.

"Thanks. Now I should be going to get Strawberry and then find Twilight. Her poor brain is probably in meltdown trying to understand Pinkie." Applejack giggled at his comment.

"Ifya ever want or need ta talk you know where to find me." Applejack said before walking off. Daniel soon arrived at the library and saw Annabelle waiting at the door so he walked up to her.

"Thanks for listening to me. It's Twilight here?"

"She was, but she left with Pinkie a few moments ago." She said, rubbing her head. “Pinkie has me confused now. How can she do that?” Daniel smiled.

"We hopefully will find out. Now which way did they go?" Annabelle pointed to the east. "Right, let's go. Hopefully Twilight isn’t already insane." They both walked off in the direction Annabelle pointed to and searched around. For a while they saw no sign of Pinkie or Twilight but as they kept looking Daniel spotted Pinkie close to a fountain so he assumed Twilight would likely be close by, trying to see what made Pinkie's senses tick.

He was proven right when he heard Spikes scream and saw him being pulled into a bush. Daniel indicated to Annabelle that he found them and as they approached the bush Daniel heard Twilight's voice.

"There's something fishy going on with the whole prediction thing and I'm getting to the bottom of it." She poked her head out of the bush and saw Pinkie hopping away. "Come on, Pinkie Pies on the move." Twilight stood up and followed Pinkie, taking the full bush with her.

After a while they stopped close to a school and Twilight continued to observe Pinkie pie.

"You know that counts as stalking and where I come from, that's illegal." Twilight jumped and screamed.

"Cosmos? What are you doing here?"

"Twilight. Pinkie has something you don't understand and if I remember you, you like to discover. So i figured if I can find Pinkie i would also find you. I just want to make sure you don't get your head in a twist." She seemed surprised at his explanation.

"Me? Head in a twist?" She laughed at his statement. "Well since you're here would you mind helping me?" Daniel sighed and both he and Annabelle sat down behind the bush with Twilight who was observing Pinkie. "Hmm, Itchy nose." Spike wrote down what Twilight said. "Ah ha, that makes no sense. See, she's hiding like something’s about to fall from the sky, but a twitchy tail means something's gonna fall from the sky. Not an itchy nose." Daniel got curious and looked out from the bush to see a swarm of bees heading right for them.

"Hey Twi-" He started to say but she wasn’t listening. He saw the bees getting closer so he decided to react, he first picked up Annabelle and threw her away and then did the same with Twilight. He didn’t need to worry about Spike as he had already left.

"Cosmos! Why did you do-" She stopped shouting when she saw the swarm of bees. "Look out!" She screamed. Daniel felt a small poke on his back and then poking all around him. It wasn’t painful but it was annoying. He continued to try and swat some bees and managed to knock some away but he didn’t hit them too hard so that it wouldn’t do any more than daze them.

After a few seconds they left and flew off. Daniel stood in the spot wondering what their problem was as from what he knew bees don't just swarm and sting like that.

"Cosmos!" He heard Twilight shout. He saw Twilight running up to him and she stopped when she was close to him and looked amazed. "You're not hurt?"

"Twilight, I took a blast from Nightmare Moon. Bees aren’t that bad." Twilight looked relieved that he was ok.

"You’re quite tough." Daniel laughed nervously.

"Perhaps." Daniel knew if he wasn’t merged with the heart he would likely be lying on the ground in extreme pain.

"Well anyway, let's go. We have to follow Pinkie."

They both set off and followed Pinkie and soon arrived at Sweet Apple acres. Twilight hid behind a load of hay and continued to observe Pinkie.

"What's she doing now?" Spike asked.

"Sniffing a flower."

"Gwakahmoly. I wonder what that means." Annabelle rolled her eyes and even she thought this ‘Everything she does is a sign’ stuff was stupid.

"Probably that the flower smells good." Twilight said and continued to watch Pinkie. "Wait, I’m getting something. Ear flap, eye flutter, knee twitch."

"Hold on, You told me that's the combo that says watch out for opening doors." Spike said and ran off. Daniel looked at the barn door that was next to them. Twilight laughed a little.

"You really believe this stuff don't you? Here, let me show you there's nothing to be afraid of." Twilight leaned on the barn door for a second while still looking at Spike. "Ya see. I promise you there’s nothing to fear from that." Twilight didn’t finish her sentence as Daniel rushed over to push her out of the way before he fell into the open door. Daniel lost his balance and slipped down a few stairs, it didn’t hurt him, it just felt like he was getting hit by some very large but soft in weight rocks.

"Hey, who's there?"Daniel stood up and brushed dirt off himself. "Cosmos, you came ta visit mah new apple cellar, how nice or did you come here to talk some more." Daniel put his hoof on his mouth in a way that says shush and then indicated to the stairs. Spike and Twilight soon walked down to get him. "Twilight, Spike, you too?"

"Sorry Applejack, I’m just here to help Cosmos." Spike said and pointed to Daniel

"I am fine Spike. It was just a little fall. Nothing serious." He then looked at Twilight who was looking at him with a surprise look on her face. "What?" He asked.

"You just fell down a bunch of stairs and are going to brush it off." DanielRolled his eyes.

"Twilight. I'm fine. But seriously why not just leave Pinkie alone. She likely has ESP or she is psychic." Twilight looked at him questionably.

"What's ESP?"

"It stands for Extrasensory perception and some back home had it."

"WAIT! Are you saying you lived in a town full of ponies just like Pinkie?" Daniel laughed.

"No. It was around but rare." Twilight smiled at Daniel.

"Well. Thanks for stopping me from falling." Her head jumped up in realisation. "We have to catch up to Pinkie. Let's go." Twilight rushed back up the stairs and Daniel looked over to Applejack.

"Sorry about that."

"No prob, and remember what we talked about." Daniel eyed her suspiciously

"I remember, but I want to make sure you keep your promise." Applejack made a zip lip motion and Daniel smiled. "Thanks. Now I need to go, Twilights going nuts over Pinkie."

"Ok, well. See ya." Daniel walked up the stairs when Applejack said that and saw Twilight and Spike in the distance. He looked to the side and saw Annabelle looking at him with a little worry.

"Are you ok?" He rubbed her hair.

"I'm fine. Let's go." With that they followed Pinkie pie again.

"What's up with her?" Annabelle asked.

"She is trying to find a scientific solution to Pinkie's scenes." Daniel mentioned as they followed Spike who was pushing Twilight.

They soon arrived at the park and Spike set Twilight behind one of the park benches. Twilight was still holding her binoculars.

"Ok. Take this down. Twitchy Tail." If Daniel remembered right that meant something was going to fall so he looked up and saw a delivery van hovering above.

"She’s psychic. I am sure of it now. Also why is there a van? If there is automobiles then why haven’t I seen more?" Daniel thought. He looked at Annabelle and then indicated to the van above them and motioned for her to move.

"Twitchy Tail?TWITCHY TAIL!!!" Spike shouted in panic which cause Twilight to cringe and her hoofs to fall and hit off the bench.

"Hush Spike. We can't let Pinkie know we’re here remember."

"Something's gonna fall. Something's gonna fall. Run for your lives." Spike started to run away quickly. Daniel was still looking up at the van and saw that some ponies were starting to open the back.

"Spike honestly. You’re over reacting." A pot was accidently dropped and was about to land on Twilight's head but Daniel pushed her out of the way and dodged the pot which was followed by an anvil, a cart full of hay and a piano.

"You need to watch your surroundings more often Twilight." She looked at the location where everything fell and then back at Daniel with a smile.

"Thanks for that Cosmos." She said.

"No problem. But honestly, you should stop following Pinkie. Think about how you would be if I wasn’t here." Her ears dropped when he said that.

"I know Cosmos, but I can't. I need to prove to everypony there’s a scientific coincidence for Pinkie's behaviour and predictions." Daniel sighed.

"Twilight, you're not going to give up, are you?"

"Nope. Now come on, Pinkie moved again." Twilight and Spike started to follow Pinkie again.

They soon found Pinkie in an area close to the outskirts of ponyville and Twilight once again was hiding in a bush close by. Pinkie Pie was playing with her hoofs until Applejack walked passed her carrying a bucket of apples.

"Hey Applejack, whatcha doing?"

"Taking more apples to mah new apple celler. How about you Pinkie? What're you doing?"

"Oh, Letting Twilight secretly follow me all day without me knowing."

"Wait. She knew. Ok now I’m certain she’s a psychic." Twilight walked out of the bush and wasn’t happy.

"You mean you knew all along? Why didn't you tell me?" Daniel could see Twilight's eye was twitching.

"Silly, that would have spoiled the secret." Daniel walked out of the bush and Annabelle followed. Twilight looked like she was about to blow up from how she was twitching.

"Tail still twitching?" Spike asked from behind Twilight’s tail.

"All done. Clear skies from here on in, as far as I can tell." Pinkie started to jump violently after she said that for a few seconds.

"Oh no. What does that one mean." Daniel stayed silent as this happened. He wanted to see how this turned out.

"Don't know. I’ve never gotten any like that before. Whatever that shudder is about, it’s a doozy. Something you never expect to happen is going to happen." She started to shake more and then stopped. “And it's going to happen, at froggy bottom bog."

"Didn’t Fluttershy say she was going there?" Annabelle asked.

"Yeah, Fluttershy said she was headed there." Applejack agreed with Annabelle. Spike spoke next.

"Is it about her?"

"I-I'm not sure" Daniel was getting a bad feeling about it. So far everything Pinkie predicted has been true so Fluttershy might be in danger.

"We better go and make sure she’s ok." With that said Applejack started to run off and the others soon followed, Daniel looked at Annabelle.

"This might be dangerous, go back home and wait." She did as she was told and started to run back home and Daniel followed his friends.

"Calm down, everypony. Pinkie pie just got a case of the shivers. That's all." Twilight seemed surprised when she saw they all ran off.

As they ran Twilight picked up Spike and placed him on her back.

"Hey, I thought you didn’t believe in this stuff."

"I don't. I just want to be there to see the look on Pinkie's face when we find out nothing's wrong." Twilight said while grinning at Pinkie.

"Okie Dokie." Pinkie said with glee.

"Twilight. All this might actually be something science can't explain. Why can't you just accept that?" Twilight smiled at his question.

"There is always a logical explanation Cosmos. I thought you wouldn’t believe in this too."

"I have experienced weirder things." He mumble to himself. Thinking back to last day on Earth.

"What was that?" Daniel realised what he said under his breath. He just remained silent and continued to run.

They continued to run for a few more minutes and they soon arrived in a swamp that looked like one out of a horror movie, it was shady and the sky was grey. Along the way Pinkie pie stopped and jumped in place again.

"Cold? Need a jacket of something?" Twilight asked with a cheeky smile.

"No thanks. I'm fine." Pinkie started to shake again.

As Daniel walked along he thought that this could be the moment he was waiting for to show off his mew form a bit more. He used his power to bend space around him to make it look like he was still walking normally and then split himself in two. When he did that he made his mew form invisible and went a bit above his puppet clone. The others were talking while he did that but he wasn’t focused enough to hear what they were talking about. He had noticed his friends stopped so he made his clone stop as well.

"What if she exploded and then exploded again." Pinkie said and it almost made Daniel laugh.

"Can you do that? Can you explode twice?" Spike asked.

"Of course not." Applejack said as she resumed walking forward.

"But what if...she exploded and then exploded again and then-" Spike stopped walking and talking when Twilight stepped on his tail.

"Will you two stop. She's fine I’m sure of it." All of his friends resumed walking and Daniel made his clone resume walking too. As he looked around from the spot he was at he saw this swamp stretched out for a good distance and he has never seen it before when out on his walks or heard of it.

"I sure hope you’re right." They all looked in one direction. "Look, there froggy bottom bog." Applejack shouted and pointed. It looked like the rest of the place, just a bigger body of green bubbly water. "Fluttershy." Applejack shouted and they all started to split up, looking for fluttershy. Spike eventually found her standing on a rock that was in the green water.

"Fluttershy. You’re ok." Spike said as he jumped and hugged her.

"Of course." She looked a bit confused.

"What a relief." Daniel started to wonder if Pinkie was indeed wrong this time.

"I'm so glad everything's alright."

"I'm sorry, I know it's not nice to gloat but....ah ha," Spike fell off of Fluttershy. "I told you there was nothing to worry about and I was right." Twilight went on but Daniel, just like the others, saw there was green smoke that started to appear out of the blue. "Pinkie pie said whatever she was shuddering about was a doozy and the only doozy here is how right I am." Daniel saw that all of his friends besides Twilight were looking up at something behind them so Daniel turned around, both him and his clone, to see a hydra with four heads looking at them. Daniel made his clone tap Twilight on the shoulder.

"What Cosmos. Can't you see I am in the middle of making a point?"

"Make it later. You might not believe in Pinkies scenes but surely you can believe what's behind you." Twilight did just that.

"I see it, but I don't believe it." The hydra let out a roar.

"Is that a hydra?" Pinkie asked.

"Who cares? Run." They all started running, all besides Pinkie who was frozen in fear.

"Pinkie. Come on." Twilight called out to her but she didn’t move. One of the hydra's heads tried to eat her but Twilight managed to pull Pinkie away before that happened and Pinkie started to run away while being air born.

"What?" Daniel mentally asked himself. It took him all his willpower to not burst out laughing at what Pinkie did and how she looked while doing it.

The Hydra started to give chase. Daniel moved to the side and closed his eyes so he could see through the eyes of his clone. He started to go through the swamp, dodging the hydra's heads as they continued to try and eat him.

They soon arrived at a dead end and Twilight quickly looked around.

"Everypony up that hill." Twilight said and as they started to run they were soon stopped by a call.

"Help!" Daniel looked to the side and saw Spike was stuck in the green water.

"Coming Spike. Hang on." Twilight managed to get Spike unstuck and avoid a hydra head as they tried to bite her. She turned around and continued running with the others. Daniel wanted to just turn around and fight this thing.

Wait. They know I am strong in physical strength and they think I am powerful with magic. I could try and scare this thing off. It’s worth a try. If they are cornered then I’ll do it.

"I think we are going to make it." Twilight called.

"But Pinkie's still shuddering." Daniel saw that Pinkie was indeed still shuddering but it soon stopped.

"Oh, hey. It stopped." She started to shudder again. "There it is again."

"Seriously Pinkie, Your more random than...than...the wheel of madness? I don't know." Daniel shook his head. He continued to guide his clone’s actions and they managed to get up the hill but at the top it turned out to be a dead end and the only way across were some platforms. The hydra started to climb up the hill.

"He'll be up here in no time. Quick, one at a time. Cross." Spike looked over the edge and then back at Twilight.

"Do you know any spell for turning a hydra into a mouse?"

"No."

"What about a squirrel?"

"No."

"What about-" Twilight interrupted him.

"No small rodents of any kind!" She shouted at him.

"That's too bad." Spike said. Daniel made his clone turn around and face the hydra.

"A hop. Skip and a...jump!" At that Pinkie jumped onto a platform and onto another, Twilight threw Spike over to the platform and when he picked himself up he jumped across them himself. Twilight turned to face the hydra.

"I'll distract him, you three go. Now." She shouted. She looked at the hydra. "Oh, what would a brave pony like Rainbow dash do?" She seemed to get a look of realisation on her face. Before looking determined."Charge!" She ran right at the hydra.

"She's gone off her rocker." Daniel thought to himself and got ready to rush in if he needed to save her from one of the hydra’s heads. He watched as Twilight ran between its legs which cause three heads to follow and then the hydra to fall over, causing it to sit on one of its heads. "Wow. That actually worked."

Daniel looked at the hydra which got back up and now was charging at his clone so he thought about his unicorn’s horn firing up a huge lightning storm and very quickly his horn started to light up and lightning started shooting out from it. The ground he was standing on also started to crack and break with the pressure from how strong it was.He fired at the hydra with the intention to temporarily stun it and it worked as it was left standing like a statue.
He focused on getting his clone over to the other side and managed to do it. Now that his clone was safe he opened up his eyes and flew over to where the hydra was, still invisible. Twilight was running back and managed to avoid a hydra head that went to bite. Twilight watched in amazement when he made the lightning storm appear and only snapped out of it when the hydra was able to move again. She tried to get over to them but unfortunately the platforms had collapsed.

The hydra roared more violently and Twilight looked fearfully at the gap.

"Twilight! You have to jump!" Pinkie shouted after a shudder.

"I'll never make it!" She shouts.

"I have to help." Daniel hid behind a tree and made himself visible.

"You'll be fine!" Pinkie shouted.

"I will not!" She Looked back and saw the hydra moving forward.

"It's your only hope." Pinkie said shuddering. Twilight looked down and then back at the hydra. "You have to take a leap of faith."

After a few more seconds Twilight moved back a bit and started to run as fast as she could. As she jumped a hydra head smashed the ground below her. To Daniel it looked like she wasn’t going to make it and it set him into a panic.

"I have to help her." Daniel flew forward as fast as he could and picked Twilight up.

"Hey what is-" She looked up and saw Daniel in his mew for, he looked at her and decided to put on his act so he chuckled. Her eyes went wide when she saw him.

Daniel carried her over to the other side and then turned around to look at the hydra. He heard all of his friends cheer and he made his clone do the same.

"You’re safe Twilight." Pinkie said.

"I don't know how it happened. If that pink creature was here out of coincidence, dumb luck or what. But you said there’d be a doozy here atfroggy bottom bog, and I say we just had ourselves one heck of a doozy. I mean that hydra-" She didn’t get to finish as Pinkie started shaking again. "Pinkie?"

"That wasn't it." Daniel turned around; he was curious as to what it could be if that was not it.

"What?"

"What wasn't what?" Spike asked.

"What are you talking about Pinkie?" Applejack asked and Daniel talked with his clone next.

"Yeah, Pinkie, What's the deal?"

"The hydra wasn't the doozy Nether is the pink cat." Everyone looked back at the hydra who blow raspberries at them while it left. "I'm still getting the shudders." Pinkie was violently shuddering. "You see, there it is again. Whatever the doozy was at froggy bottom bog, my Pinkie sense says it still hasn't happened." Twilight looked very angry.

"But I...WHAT!? They hydra wasn't the dozzy? Or this pink cat saving me? How could they not be the doozy? What could be dozzyer than that?" Twilight had a slight twitch in her eye.

"I dunnow. But it just wasn't it." Twilight looked like she was about to explode in anger. A few seconds later her tail and hair were on fire. Daniel just looked at it like it was cool while the others seemed a little scared. Eventually the flames died down and Twilight fell to the ground after staying up in the air for a few moments.

"I give up." She said as she laid on the ground as Spike talked up to her.

"Give what up Twi?"

"The fight, I can't fight it anymore. I don't understand how, why or what but Pinkie's sense somehow, makes sense. I don't see how it does but it just does. Just becauseI don't understand does not mean it's not true." Pinkie was shuddering the whole time.

"You believe?" She asked, still shuddering.

"Yup, I guess I do." She said in in a low voice. Pinkie stated to do a lot of thing like puff up and go in ways Daniel didn’t know what to make of. She stopped and looked at herself before looking at Twilight.

"That was it. That's the doozy." Everyone looked at her with faces of confusion. Spike shook his head and Twilight spoke.

"What, what is?" Twilight asked as she walked up to Pinkie.

"You believe? I never expected that to happen. That was the doozy and oh what a doozy of a doozy it was." They all looked at Pinkie, even Daniel tilted his head to the side in wonder. He then heard a voice next to him.

"Thank you for saving Twilight." Daniel looked to his side and saw Fluttershy smiling and looking at him.

"Yeah, Thanks. Whatever you are." Daniel now looked to the side and saw Twilight along with the others looking at him, he made his clone do the same and Daniel put on his little act so he went up to Twilight and hugged her around the neck which surprised her, after a few seconds he picked up a flower and bopped it gently off of Twilights nose, casing the petals to scatter. He then laughed.

"You're a playful little guy ain't ya?" Pinkie said as she looked at him with a smile. The others looked at Pinkie.

"Wait, Pinkie, you know this things gender?"

"Yep." She replied.

"How?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know, I just do." Twilight took out a notebook and started to write something’s down and had a scroll next to it. Daniel decided to play along with it.

"Celestia wants us to watch out for this lil critter. It seems harmless." Daniel flew up to Applejack and took her hat with his tail and placed it on his head while he flew around while wearing it. "Just give it back, don't leave with it." Daniel wasn’t planning on keeping Applejack's hat anyway so he used his tail and gave it back to her.

Daniel heard a puff of smoke and looked in the direction he heard it, he found himself looking at Spike. He looked at Twilight who had a look of glee on her face, tilted his head to the side.

" What’s she up too?" Daniel thought. It wasn’t long before he had to cover both his and his clone's eyes as there was a bright flash. Daniel still put on his act and flew over to his clone to hide behind it.

When the flash dimmed down Daniel and the others looked to where it happened and saw both Celestia and Luna standing there. Celestia turned to Twilight.

"We received your letter Twilight. Where is it?" Twilight turned back to where Daniel previously was.

"its right-" She saw he wasn’t there. "Where did it go?" Daniel still put on his act and peeked his head over his clone, looking at the princesses like he was scared of them. All of them now turned to face Daniel and he made his clone do the same. He pretended to act shy, keeping himself together but not moving forward. "I think your arrival startled it or it's scared by how tall you are." Twilight said to Celestia.

"Well we mean it no harm; we just want to meet it." Daniel still kept his distance.

"Don't be scared." He looked to his side and saw Fluttershy looking at him with a smile. "They’re nice. They won't hurt you." Fluttershy put a hoof on his back and tried to move him forward and Daniel went along with it. When Daniel was close to Celestia and Luna they both looked at him like they were in deep thought and it was like that for a few moments before Celestia smiled.

"My, You’re such a cutie." She said with a giggle. Daniel decided to try what he did before, he picked up a flower and gently bopped it on Celestias nose, causing it to burst into more petals. He then started to chuckle. "A harmless prankster?" Daniel then looked at Luna who was still looking at him with curiosity.

"What creature are you? You have never been seen before." Luna said and Daniel just tilted his head, acting dumb.

"Luna, I don't think it can understand us." Luna wasn’t so sure and kept looking at him with curious eyes. Daniel got a cheeky thought in his mind and he hoped it would work. He picked up one of the flowers that were scattered across the ground and used his power to change it into a piece of chocolate cake. Daniel almost fell out of the air in laughter at the look of surprise on Celestia's face.

Daniel pointed to the cake and then to Celestia's crown.

"I think it wants a trade." Twilight said. Holding back a laugh.

"I shouldn’t’.I need my crown." Celestia said and Daniel pretended to be sad.

"Will you give it back?" He heard Fluttershy ask. He nodded and looked back to Celestia.

Celestia levatated her crown off and moved it over to Daniel, watching his actions. When he got the crown Daniel gave Celestiathe piece of cake but she didn’t eat it. She was still looking at him. Daniel placed the crown on his head and decided to do a little dance in mid-air for a few seconds before he took it off and gave it back to Celestia who took it with a smile.

If acting like this will remove suspicion then I best do it. Even if I hate it."

"Thank you." Celestia placed her crown back on her head. "Fluttershy, can you ask it if it will come with us? I merely want to show the council that this creature isn't a threat." Fluttershy did as the princess requested.

"Uh...Mr...Will you come along with the princesses? It's just a quick trip." Daniel thought for a moment.

"If i agree and they see I’m no threat then they might call off the hunting party, which means they’re likely not going to find out about my bots if they end up looking around the Diamond dogs area. If I do this then it could make things a little easier not just on me but also on Thag and Brago." He looked at Fluttershy and nodded, Fluttershy looked back at the princesses.

"He has agreed." Daniel looked back to Celestia to see that she had just finished the cake he had made her.

"I really hope that cake was tasty and not bad." He thought.

"Well then, we should get going." Magic started to flow from Celestia's horn and they soon disappeared the reappeared in the throne room in Canterlot. Celestia looked a little shaken after the teleport.

"Sister, are you alright?" Luna asked.

"Yes, I just felt a strange resistance when using my magic." Celestia said while shaking herself. Luna looked over at Daniel more curiously than before and Daniel just tilted his head. Daniel wasn’t sure how long he would be here so he used his clone to speak.

"Excuse me princess but how long will we be here? I need to get back to Strawberry." Daniel turned around to look at his clone and Twilight spoke.

"Cosmos, you sent her back to your house so she will likely be fine" Luna looked at Daniel's clone.

"You have a younger sibling?" She asked. Before Daniel could speak Twilight spoke.

"Yes, he does. Before they arrived inponyville he kept his little sister safe as they went through the everfree to get there." Daniel didn’t say anything and Luna spoke again.

"How did he manage such a thing?"

"He’s good with magic, he seems to be at the levels where he knows how to enhance himself." Daniel made his clone speak.

"Rarity has Sweetie belle who is her younger sister. What's the big deal?" Luna looked at Daniel's clone and then back and him a few times.

"Nothing, I was just curious." Daniel continued to put up his act so he made his clone look at him while he was looking at it and made it speak.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He made it say to him to which he just tilted his head.

"Well. We should get going. Luna, will you inform the council that I wish to speak with then?"

"Certainly, we will return soon. Sister.”Luna flew off to get the councillors and Celestia turned to the others.

"Why don't you all wait in the waiting room? It shouldn’t be too long." Celestia lead them to the waiting room and they all entered.

A good while has passed and Rainbow Dash arrived, when they were all together they waited and Pinkie quickly got bored so now Daniel is having fun by letting Pinkie pie chase his tail around. All the others watched in amusement.

"I got it now." Pinkie jumped to try and get Daniel's tail which he held up high but he quickly moved it away. He got ready to start again until he felt his tail getting grabbed. He looked at it and saw Rainbow dash grabbed it.

"Got you." Daniel mentally grinned and used the tip of his tail to tickle Dash's belly. She was laughing almost instantly. Daniel saw she was extending her wings to try and tickle him back, he tried to teleport quickly but as he did he felt a feather from her wing brush against his foot and it caused him to laugh loudly and lose concentration. When he lost his concentration, Rainbow Dash tackled him to the ground and started to tickle him on his stomach with her wings.

Daniel was laughing and squirmed on the ground, trying to get away from Rainbow Dash. "Let's try here." With that Daniel felt Dash starting to tickle him on his right foot with her tail causing his face to go red, tears to start forming on his eyes and his voice went up a few pitches while still tickling his sides with her other wing. "Aww, how cute. He's ticklish." Dash teased. For a while Daniel struggled to get out of her grip and her tickling him only made it more difficult but eventually he managed to get out of her grip by pushing her off of him with his tail and then he waved his finger in a way that indicates *No*. "Come here." Dash said playfully as she sped after Daniel who started to fly around the room.

"This thing acts like a child.” Daniel heard Twilight say but then a giggle was heard, they all looked over at the doors to see both Luna and Celestia were standing there.

"The council is together. We shouldn’t keep them waiting." Daniel decided to put on another act, so he yawned loudly and flew down to the ground and pretended to go to sleep, but he also made his clone approach him.

"Come on little guy." He got up and laid down on his clone's back and closed his eyes. He could now focus on what to make his clone do. Celestia let out a giggle at the sight.

"I’m certain they will see this thing isn’t a threat." Dash spoke next.

"How can this little...thing be a threat? It's just a new kind of species and it loves to play." Twilight shook her head.

"Rainbow, have you read about it?"

"No, reading is for eggheads like you Twilight." Twilight looked a bit angry at Dash for that comment, she even had a vain show on her forehead.

"Well, we should be going." They all started to walk to the council. Daniel was still lying on his clones back as he followed Celestia and carried himself. Along the way Daniel saw that Luna looked back at them a few times but he chose to forget it.

"Wait here until I give you all the signal." Celestia mentioned then both her and Luna entered through the doors which Daniel assumed lead to the council.

"It looks so cute when it's sleeping." Pinkie said. Daniel felt something gently rub against his back, looking at it through his clones eyes he saw it was Fluttershy. He was not going to complain, it felt quite relaxing. Daniel remembered that he had a long tail so he wrapped himself in it like a blanket. They waited for a few moments before they heard the door open and Luna was there.

I swear if they tease me about this when or if I tell them what I really am in the future then I will put poison joke on them in their sleep

"You may enter." They all started walking and soon found themselves in a room that had rows of seats in a circle and right in front of them were two chair's that were a bit bigger than the rest. Celestia was sitting on the one with the sun and a few moments later Luna flew over and sat on the one with the moon. They looked around and saw a good few other ponies that were seated, about 15 of them.

"Princess, what are the Elements of harmony doing here? You said you found and managed to convince on of the creatures to come along." One of them said to Celestia.

"If you would look more closely Quill. You will see it’s sleeping on the back of the stallion, Cosmos." Celestia looked to Daniel's clone. "Cosmos, will you show them?" Daniel made his clone turn to the side, revealing him pretending to be asleep on its back. This caused them all to look in amazement.

"So...how is it?" Quill asked.

"If you mean ‘Is it healthy’ then yes it is. If you mean is it a threat, ask the bearers. They’ve encountered it twice. This time included." All of the council ponies looked to them and Twilight spoke.

"Well, from what I’ve seen about it. It has a very playful personality, it even saved my life back at froggy bottom bog. But other than that I don't know anything else. What it true diet is. What environment it likes. Nothing else." Dash spoke next.

"I don't know how you guys can see this creature as a threat. I was playing with it in a tickle fight before we arrived here, even if it somehow had the potential to be a threat, with its personality, it likely wouldn’t harm anyone." The council chattered amongst themselves for a few moments before Steel spoke.

"If it's not too much to ask, could you wake it up?" All of his friends looked to Fluttershy.

"Oh, I guess I’ll try." Fluttershy walked over to Daniel and started to shake him. "Hey little guy. Could you wake up for a moment?" Daniel was still putting on his act so he opened his eyes slowly and let out a big yawn before looking around him. When he saw all the ponies looking at him her curled himself up in his tail. "No need to be scared." Fluttershy slowly uncurled him from his tail and sat down on the ground, holding him in her hooves. Daniel just squirmed out of them and started to levitate again.

As he was flying he looked around at all the councillors who were all looking at him with awe.

"My word, it really is that creature and not a something wearing makeup." One of them said. Daniel looked over to the one who said that and flew close to her. When he was close to her she looked at him for a few moments before extending her hoof to him, he moved back slightly, all the others were looking at what his reaction would be. After a few moments of staying still Daniel moved forward and took her hoof, as he took her hoof she smiled and so did Daniel. "You’re a real cute thing." She said.

"Pardon me Princess. But why is it not locked up?" Another asked and it turned out to be Quill who said it. Celestia didn’t look amused. Daniel continued to pretend to not know what they were saying but he made his clone turn and look at the pony who said that.

"It came along peacefully. There is no need for it to be." Another one of the councillors spoke.

"I am afraid I am with Quill on this one Princess. If this thing can do what the book said, then it needs to be contained." Another voice was heard.

"Look at it; it's peacefully interacting with somepony. It came here out of its own decision. It has no intention of harming anypony." Chatter and shouting started to come from among the council. Some saying Daniel should be contained and others going against it but what happened next surprised him.

"ENOUGH!!!" Celestia shouted and slammed her hoof down, silencing the council. Daniel continued to follow his act and flew quickly to hide behind Fluttershy, needless to say he got some odd looks. "We will let the Elements of harmony decide. They deal with threats and you think this adorable little creature might be a threat, let's leave the choice up to them." All of the council looked between themselves but said nothing. "First off, Twilight."Celestia said and Twilight walked to the centre of the room.

"Miss Sparkle, Do you think this creature is a threat?" Quill asked.

"It may have the potential to be if you treat it wrong. But if it was then it would have done something bad already. I don't see you all choosing to lock up princess Celestia because of what she can do." Twilight said with narrowed eyes and they all remained silent. "You may want to contain it to prevent it from being a threat but in doing so you are likely to make it attack you. I say we should leave it, try and befriend it. If we can have it as our friend then we can also learn about it and learn from it without having to worry about conflict." Twilight stepped to the side and Dash stood in the centre.

"I don't see why you guys consider this thing dangerous, this thing seems to be like Fluttershy and Pinkie in one. It is very playful and from what I have seen, a gently natured creature. I say we should just let it be." Pinkie Pie stood in the centre next.

"I can't agree with my friends any more. I mean look at it, its hiding behind Fluttershy all becauseCelestia raised her voice. It has the playful personality of an innocent foal. Leave it alone." Applejack was the next one to speak in the centre.

"Ah don't know much about it but I do know this. It would ‘a done somethin' if it was gonna do them. Come ‘on it ran and hid instead ‘a fighting when Celestia scared the poor critter a moment ago." Last was Fluttershy, Daniel made his clone walk up to him and he quickly hid behind his clone. "I can tell what an animal intends to do and when I look at it I can see something that is still somewhat a child. Would you be able to be happy with yourselves if you knew you hurt a child? Would you?" They all looked over to Daniel.

" What are they...Oh, right. I am an Element too." Daniel made his clone look at him and started walking to the center.

Daniel looked to the side and saw Fluttershy was close to him. He started to move over and waited beside her as his clone made his way to the centre.

"Don't..mess..this..up Daniel mentally said to himself before his clone started to speak.

"Just becausesomething has some power doesn’t always mean it is evil or intends to cause harm. Both of the princesses are prime examples. If you’re not scared of them then why are you scared of this thing? Look at it. We don't need to contain it. Why not just let it go?" Daniel's clone moved back over. Quill sighed.

"Very well then. But can I count on you all to make sure it doesn’t do anything unsavory?" Twilight answered.

"We can't keep it with us if it does not want too but if it does do anything bad we’ll stop it." Quill looked a bit disappointed.

"Alright, I hope you all know what you’re doing." Celestia smiled before speaking.

"So you agree to leave it be." Quill nodded. "Then that is all we need to discuss. Dismissed." The council ponies started to leave and Celestia looked back to them. "I will teleport you all back to Ponyville. See you some other time Twilight." Celestia looked at Daniel with a smile before she teleported them.

After she had teleported them her gentle breathing became a bit more heavier. "Why is it harder to transport them?" She shrugged it off and looked over to Luna who was still sitting on her seat and looking at the roof. Smiling, she walked up to her. "Luna." Luna jumped a little in surprise.

"Oh, Tia." She looked around and saw the council was empty. "What happened?"

"You must have dozed off. The council is over."

"And the creature?"

"Not to be captured. But left." Luna looked like she was back in a deep thought. "Luna, what’s wrong?"

"Sister. There is some ponyi wish to consider taking on as my student. If they will accept." Celestia smiled at this.

"Well. That's great to hear. Who are you thinking of?" Celestia asked.


Daniel reappeared in ponyville. He decided he should be getting back to Annabelle so he continued to put on his act. He looked around like he was confused and when he saw the everfree he started to fly towards it, he heard Twilight shout.

"Wait." He stopped and turned around to look at her. "Will you please stay?" She asked with big puppy eyes. Daniel found it hard to try and leave.

"Mr pink cat, Would you please stay for a little while longer?" Fluttershy asked. Daniel looked at the everfree and then back to the others. He wanted to go and see how Annabelle was doing.

"Wait a second. I can just use my clone. But...would I be able to concentrate properly. Most of the time my clone sits around until I need it. Also is there a limited range for the connection to my clone? I can't take the risk yet." He gave them a wave and spoke. "See you around." He knew that Fluttershy could understand him and he also tried to change his voice while he was saying that, just to make sure she didn’t think his clone was related to him in any way. With that said, he flew off towards the everfree. When he was behind a tree he turned invisible and flew back over and remerged with his clone at the back while his friends were all looking in the direction he had gone.

"What did it say Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. She turned to look at Twilight.

"He said, See you around." She mentioned.

"I hope we see it again." Daniel said.

"I hope so too." Twilight said a little upset.

"Oh, Right i need to check on Strawberry. Sorry to just leave girls." He started to run towards his house. "See you all tomorrow." He said as he continued to run.

"Bye Cosmos! Thanks for the help today!" Twilight shouted.

Daniel continued to run back to his ponyville house, as he looked at the sky he saw it was almost sunset. He knew it was almost Annabelle's bedtime so he thought about what to make her on his way back. As he arrived at his Ponyville house he close the door and went to his everfree house. As he arrived he turned back human and looked for Annabelle. He found her in Terabithia and his kids were with her, she was still in her pony form. He walked up to her and spoke.

"Hey Annabelle. How’re you feeling?" She looked at him and spoke through a yawn.

"I am fine." Freddy spoke to Annabelle.

"What happened next?"

"He ran off with the others and told me to come back. I know he was just trying to keep me safe." They all looked at Daniel.

"I was only doing it becausei thought it would be dangerous." Daniel turned Annabelle back into a human.

"I’ll be right back." She said as she got up and ran off.

"So Daddy, what happened at Froggy bobby bob?" Daniel laughed at the name.

"Bottom bog" He corrected him.

"What happened?" Freddy still asked.

"Well, you see-" Daniel went on to tell them about the hydra, how he helped Twilight while being in a different form and how the council went. How his friends managed to convince them that he wasn’t a threat. "- so that's one I owe them." They all looked a bit happier to hear how it went.

"So we can stop hiding soon?"

"Likely, if this is how it goes." He heard the door open and looked over to see Annabelle had entered Terabithia and was wearing her PJs. "Don’tyou want any dinner?" He asked her.

"No thanks, I’m tired." She said with a yawn and walked over to the tree bed. Daniel walked over and tucked her in.

"Sleep tight Annabelle. Feel free to get something if you’re hungry through the night. Besides Cookies. I would prefer you to eat healthy." She looked at Daniel with her puppy dog eyes. "Fine. Just one Cookie." She smiled and laid down. Daniel got up to leave but he was soon stopped when Annabelle asked something.

"Daniel. Can you sit beside me for a while?" He turned to her as she asked that.

"Ok. Why, what’s wrong?" He asked as he walked over to her and sat down on a rock that was close by.

"What would I have done if you died today while you were away?" Daniel felt a little sting of guilt when she asked that.

"If that happens, I want you to promise me to live on. Annabelle, no matter how hard life is, I want you to promise me you will keep on living and try to find happiness." She took his hand and held firmly.

"I promise." Daniel smiled. "But, I still can't get that thought out of my head. Can you sing for me? Mom did it to calm me down." Daniel laughed.

"Me? Sing? Your ears would bleed." She looked at him with her puppy eyes again.

"Pweees." She said in a baby voice. Daniel found it too much to resist.

"Oh, fine." Daniel thought about what he should sing and he soon came up with something. "I have a bad feeling about this." Daniel started to sing to Annabelle.

"Rest your little head my dear sister.
Rest now, you have nothing to fear.
Sleep now, through the night.
Till the dawn shines bright.

We have both felt the same loss.
I promise to keep you safe. My heart I cross.
The future is not all black and red.
I will help you through whatever is ahead.

What caused you so much pain.
Can't touch you in our domain.

The other's might be gone.
But it is our job to carry on.
We might have lost our home.
But we don't need to roam.

Rest your little head my dear sister.
Rest now, you have nothing to fear.
Sleep now, through the night.
Till the dawn shines bright.

You're safe here, no need to cry.
For mom and dad we will stay alive.
If you need to find Happiness again.
Remember here that you have children.

Rest your little head my dear sister.
Rest now, you have nothing to fear.
Sleep now, through the night.
Till the dawn shines bright.

What caused you so much pain.
Can't touch you in our domain."

Daniel looked at Annabelle and was almost shocked. She actually fell asleep. As he looked at his kids he saw they were still awake but woozy. "Let's let her sleep." Daniel lead them out of Terabithia and closed the door. As his kids went off to the Aperture he went to the living room, sat down on the sofa and put on a DVD to watch.

Author's Notes:

I am thinking of changing the story, a lot, Some of my plans are

- Change it so Daniel has 10 or 8 kids. 12 is a bit hard to remember and i cant give them all some good character development that will be remembered and other reasons. (Getting rid of one or two boys and girls)
Change the story. (It will mostly stay the same.)

Things i am currently doing

Changing NOC to PIA (Portalble Internet Anywhere) I have remade chapter 3 (powers and problems) quite a bit and plan to change other chapters to suit it. I am toning down Daniel a lot, same for King N.

Also my new PC does not have spell checker so sorry for any errors. I am still looking for another editor. Any ideas who might help me with editing this? From now on until i get a editer, all chapters will be unedited.

All of this will take time. Some previouse chapters might change between new chapters posted. If so i will mention it in the notes so you can re-read it.
This WILL be the last chapter i will post until i fix my story. So don't expect a new chapter anytime soon. (I will still be taking suggestions for future chapters, like what you think should happen in a episode or event. I will still be writing Chapters but until my story is a way that i think is good. They won't be posted.)

Next Chapter: One thing after another Estimated time remaining: 18 Hours, 25 Minutes
