Author's Notes:

A warning for those who haven't watched Gurren Lagann. This is a theory of reincarnation in the works for this crossover that is going to be permanent. For those who have watched the ending of Gurren Lagann, it is sad, but I am going to use that scene to let this chapter to 'flow'. Hope everyone will accept this idea. Without a further a do, here's Ryan's chapter!

-Ryan's point of view-

-Day before portal opens-

It has been a while since I had set up my relationship with Coco and things have been looking up. She helps me with the fashion fabrics for my upcoming dress ideas, and has been my lovely mare-friend/assistant for a total of a five months and counting. We have been dating a lot and none of us brought up the subject of having sex. Though I believe Jayden did mention that it would be weird at first, but if I got passed that it would feel natural. I didn't really want to talk to Coco about it if she wasn't comfortable about it. Since the estrus incident, she has been quieting down about the whole 'intercourse' as she says. I can't read women er mares to know what is going through her mind. I would talk to her if she says something because I will give her full support of the situation.

Since I am a pony... Unicorn to be exact. I got some learning tips from Twilight and Rarity about basic Unicorn magic. It felt different at first and difficult at that, but I got the hang of it when I imagine hands grabbing the object. I was able to learn levitation by using my new horn in two weeks. Which seems long, but I still had to adjust to walking on four legs. It seemed that everybody else was having the same issue by standing on two hooves once in a while. I had this problem as well, but only when I learned magic via my horn, that habit disappeared for a mysterious reason.

I am alone in my room, while Coco and Rarity were out at the Spa as I was currently drawing out another dress for her. It so happens I am giving her a dress when we go to the Gala. Jayden gave me the details that Celestia is going to have the Gala again very soon when the whole 'beam crossing worlds fiasco' ends. I was drawing the dress and it looked like brides maid dress... 'I'm in that mode aren't I?' I thought with an audible sigh. I have this problem where if I meet a girl and I have been dating her for around this time I have this ongoing disease that I call 'Future disorder'. Everybody at home probably has it once or is totally different from mine, but have their moments of what will happen in the future. I don't dwell on this, but this one in particular drives me down the bend. My 'future disorder' is my obsession of thinking of the wedding of the girl or mare I was currently dating. I have dated three human girls and they have been creeped out when I mention marrying them or having a wedding with them in the near future. The results.... One punched me for that reason, another in the balls and the last one spread rumors like wildfire to no end.

I really need to talk to Coco about this and see if she doesn't freak out on me. Though living and being part of a world full of ponies might accept anything that we might do that is positive. Is this a positive thing? Worrying about my future getting married early in the dating game? I sigh internally, 'I definitely have an issue.' I thought. I stop sketching and look at the clock. It was already 2:00 pm and I was wondering what was keeping Coco and Rarity. Knowing them they're talking about mare stuff to which I might not understand. Looking back at my drawing, I curse internally. The dress is a success, but again with my issue..... I sigh.

"I need to take a walk." I said.

I walk down the stairs to see Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo discussing about something. Curious, I walk to them and got their attention.

"Hey you two." I look around for Apple Bloom, but continued, "Where's Apple Bloom?"

Scootaloo shrugs, "Beats me. She said she was going to be busy at Applejacks barn or something."

"We're just discussing how were going to get our cutie marks." Sweetie Belle added.

I nodded, "Alright, just don't do anything to hurt yourselves. Anyway, if you see Rarity or Coco, tell them I went out for a walk. Can you do that for me?"

Sweetie and Scoot salute, "Yes sir!" They said in unison.

I smiled and headed out the door to take a nice stroll around Ponyville. Everything seemed to be in harmony, but except the huge beam that was coming down to Canterlot. I was here to experience what the ponies felt about the situation, but they were all calm about it. I was surprised at first, but realized that this world is full of surprises. As I took in a deep breath, I could feel all the memories of Gurren Lagann coursing through me and wondered what will be going through that portal. Will it be a villain? Will it be an Ally? Or will it be both and end up in an epic battle? Who knows, but all I know is that Jayden and Connor got allies with their luck. Jayden got two characters from Log Horizon, Connor had a visit with a Princess from Dog Days, and so what about me? Will it be Kamina? Simon? Yoko? Nia? I shook me head and realized I was at the edge of the Everfree forest. I turn around and walk back to the Boutique.

When I got back into the Boutique, it was quiet. I wondered if Coco and Rarity are back from their trip yet because it was almost dinner time. Then I heard noises from Rarities room and I sighed, but then smiled. 'Let's surprise them with dinner.' I thought. I went to the kitchen and made a simple dinner, a nice grilled vegetable sandwiches and a nice cheesecake, that I ordered from Connor, put on the table for dessert. When I was finished, I called them down for dinner.

Once they got down stairs I noticed that Coco had a different hair style to where it was a pony tail. Rarity had that same hair style, but both of them were dazzling and had a scent that smelled like roses. It was either that they were setting up something or they were hinting something that was over my head.

"What's on the menu today Ryan?" Coco asked.

"It smells divine." Rarity added.

I shook my head inwardly to not think about the scent and smiled, "Grilled vegetable sandwiches and cheesecake for dessert."

"Oh! Is that the dessert from your world that Connor made?" Coco asked.

It's true Connor, other making muffins, has been making sweets, pastries, and all sorts of recipes that he can remember in his head. I had to special order the cheesecake because Sugarcube corner is packed everyday. When ever Connor got back from escorting his guest back to their world, he was changed some how. It was either Pinkie or the guest that might of done something. I nod at Coco's response.

"Yep, I special ordered the cheesecake yesterday and hope it would be alright if we would have some tonight." I said.

Rarity responded, "Oh, it's not too much trouble darling. I would love to taste Connor's hoof made cheesecake and give him a rating."

With that said, we all ate our dinner and it was a success. The food was delicious, Coco and Rarity agreed that it was too and most of all we melted on Connor's taste of cheesecake. It reminded me of when I was visiting New York and had their cheesecake in a local restaurant. Then something interrupted my train of thought, Coco's hoof was rubbing my area and it made me blush. I look at Coco and she was winking at me. 'Shit... She thinking about the intercourse.' I thought.

I clear my throat, "You OK Coco?" I asked.

Now she had a strange look on her face and I look at Rarity who was giving her 'signals'. Now I knew what was going on; the new hair do, the new scent, Rarity was setting up Coco and I to go to the 'bedroom.' I sigh and grab Coco's hoof; she gasped, but I didn't listen and lead her to my room. I closed the door behind me and I look at Coco who was confused.

"Coco... I'm not mad, but I just have to ask you; did Rarity set this up for us to have 'alone' time?" I asked.

Now she was blushing, "Um... Yes." She said as she hung her head.

I got my hoof to cup her right cheek, "It's alright. Do you want to talk about it?"

Her eyes met mine and she sighed, "Are you sure?"

I nodded, "I am sure."

She turns away from me and walked to the bed to sit down. She patted the bed; I complied and sat on the bed with her. I didn't know what was going to happen, but I need to relax so I wouldn't get Coco to be afraid of me. I also need to tell her about my 'marriage problem' soon, maybe not now, but later.

Coco spoke, "I would like to talk to you about..." She blushed but continued, "Making a child."

Wedding bells rang through out my head and the picture of Coco in a wedding gown with me kissing as pigeons fly across sky. My heart beat quickens and all of my mercy is being ripped apart from what she said. A kid? Isn't that skipping a step?! First there's dating, then there is romance, intercourse maybe, marriage, and after a few years consider getting a child!

"Um... I don't know how to respond to the question." I told her.

"How blunt do you want me to be?" She asked.

I stared at her and nothing came out of my mouth until she came close to my ear. I could feel the heat radiating from her face as she whispered, "I want you to get me pregnant." I felt the heat rise up one my face and my heart was racing, but I raised my hoof on her shoulder.

I sighed, "I get what you're saying, but we need to stop."

"W-What do you mean? What is going on?" She asked with a hint of confusion.

"I feel we need to wait a little longer for a child because my culture is different." I stated.

"How so?"

"Well in order to have a child we have to get married."

She blushed, "We don't have to get married to have a child because of the Equestrian law."

"Equestrian law?"

"It's where we have herds and we ponies have a choice to marry any stallion, but those who make herds go with multiple mares and some stallions."

"Um... We have different laws where we only have to marry one female for life. It's illegal to have multiple wives."

"Oh..." She hung her head again.

"Listen Coco, I love you and I want to know you more because we have been together for five months. Five months! That is something special and I just need more time to think things over. So Coco, I will talk to you when I am ready for this situation to happen. I know you're ready, but I am not.... Do you understand?" I said.

She turns her attention to me and smiled, "Alright; just let me know soon OK?"

I smiled and kissed her on the lips, "I promise."

Coco decided to accompany me going to Canterlot to meet another guest. While we were in the train I discussed the story of Gurren Lagann. The plot was very simple, two people named Kamina, and Simon live underground because their village doesn't believe in the surface. When suddenly a robot comes crashing down the ceiling and the two boys meet up with a girl named Yoko. Simon found another robot and was able to control it through a drill key. Together with Kamina, Simon, Yoko and others they will fight their rights to live on the surface as human beings. Coco was amazed that such a story can be an animation and she was interested when I mentioned Nia. Nia Teppelin, who is the daughter of Lordgenome, came into Simon's life when Kamina passed and later on she was going to get married with him. Then all went to hell when the Anti-spiral attacked and Nia who was one to begin with. Simon and his friends defeat the leader Anti-Spiral and Nia was slowly fading away due to the reason that the Anti-Spiral was keeping her alive. Nia doesn't care and holds on long enough to marry Simon only to fade away. Simon then passes on the drill to Lagann and wanders the earth while his comrades are taking care of the galaxy. Coco was outraged that this sort of ending happened, but I told her that it was a lesson of life (At least that is what I grabbed from it). Life is mysterious and when it goes to shit, you have to tough it out. When I finished the story we made it to our destination to meet our soon to be guest.

The beam was still there when I last saw it and Coco was in awe that such a thing should be here. She asked me before hand... er hoof how it is being cast, but I told her that I didn't know. When I looked at the beam it suddenly turned into a bright pink. It was a solid pink and all of a sudden pink pedals from a flower formed into a bright light ball. An explosion of light happened next and it blinded us. My eyes recovered and I saw a Pegasus filly lying against the beam, which was bizarre. She had no cutie mark, and a familiar hair style. I didn't think of anything and when I walked to the filly's side, she woke up. Those eyes belong to Nia Teppelin and I was startled when I found that she was a pony (Without the clothing of course).

"Ryan what is it?" Coco asked.

"Coco. It's Nia and she is a filly." I said.

"What!?" Coco shouted.

I notice that Nia had her eyes closed and was groaning in pain. I used my magic to levitate Nia; Coco and I rushed to the Canterlot Castle Hospital. As we went through the castle, I look at Nia who didn't look so good. She looked like she had a fever, and my magic could feel that she was getting cold.

"Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that all that happened? Nobody else showed up into the portal." Frank asked.

I nodded, "Yes that is what happened and what amazed me is that Nia didn't go through the beam. It seems that she was against it when she appeared."

Frank and I were outside the hospital room where Nia was currently hospitalized and Coco was with her. While they were inside, Frank and I were talking about the show Gurren Lagann and when I mentioned that Nia 'materialized' from flower petals, Frank raised an eyebrow.

"That is interesting." Frank mumbled.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Well you know the ending of Gurren on how..." He looks around his surroundings then whispered, "Nia dies in the end."

"I am aware." I said not questioning his whispers.

"It might be a theory..." Frank was cut off by me.

"We know your theories are mostly correct." I added.

Frank cleared his throat, "Anyway, Nia died and what if she has been reincarnated into the Pegasus that is in that room. It is the only logical reason I can think of and the reason why she didn't go through the beam is because at the end of the series, she couldn't survive when the Anti-Spiral died."

I nodded, "I wonder what Coco feels about this."

Frank put his hoof on my shoulder, "I can get Celestia's permission to let you an Coco to take good care of Nia."

"Well... We have been talking about children..." I said out loud.

"Isn't that skipping a step?" Frank raised an eyebrow.

I realized what I just said and sighed, "I guess I need to tell you."

I explained to Frank about herding with other mares and he seemed pretty calm about the whole thing. Me being anxious with about getting married early in the dating game, Coco wanting children and most of all what happened last night at dinner time. Frank put a hoof to his chin and tapped it a few times.

"It seems I forgot to tell them about the subject." He mumbled.

"What do you mean? Does Twilight know about this as well?" I asked.

He shook his head, "From what Twilight told me, in Equestria one stallion equals to five mares which herding is allowed and practiced. It might not be allowed in the United States, but we're not BOUND to it." Frank said, but continued, "Twilight and her friends are off on a road trip of which I don't know where they are."

I was silent with my jaw on the floor in amazement.

"To conclude this conversation and to get your mind to think about the subject. Rarity, from what details I have been told, she is interested and you need to address this subject to Coco. You need to talk about it with Rarity next time you're in the same room with them." Frank said.

"I... Um... Uh...." I stammer.

Frank only chuckled, "I'll send a letter when I get the Princesses permission."

With that he walked away with me in confusion. Herding.... Having multiple girl-er mare-friends or wives was alright to do. I think I was having a culture shock... Which was strange for me. When I came to this world, I never encountered such a thing. Now, after five months, now I get this fucking feeling? I exhaled my breath and head back inside the hospital room.

Inside was Nia in a hospital bed while Coco was sitting on the seat on her right side. The left side was the Doctor, who was looking through some papers, he had been informed about the beam incident, but his eyes said other wise.

"Anything wrong Doc?" I asked.

He turn his attention to me, "Nothing is wrong, but I was just wondering whose this child's parents are."

I tapped my chin and look at Coco, but I smiled, 'Here goes nothing.' I thought. "Her parents died in an accident and now we're left to take care of her." I lied.

Coco turned at me with a surprised look and the Doctor nodded, "I understand." He looks at Nia who was still sleeping, "I will write down several notes, but I need the fillies record."

It was just then my horn glowed and Frank's letter materialized into my levitation grasp. I opened the scroll and skimmed it. There was a birth certificate for Nia and some records that needed to be updated (the records were filled out with a basic baby Pegasi information). I levitated the piece of information to the Doc and he gladly took it.

"It needs to be updated, but I can make due with that. Nia should be fine tomorrow and you two can take her back home." The Doctor says as he walks away.

"Thank you." I said as I closed the door with my magic.

I turn around to have my lips against Coco's and I allowed access for her to explore my mouth. I did the same and cupped her cheek with my hoof. When we released for air, I look at Coco who was very happy, but a hint of confusion.

"Does this mean we get to take care of Nia instead sending her to an orphanage?" She asked.

I nuzzled her neck, "Yes since she can't return, we're going to take good care of her."

I could feel tears coming down to my neck, "You know this isn't going to be easy." She sobbed.

"Are you mad at me?"

She lift my head up with her hoof and she was still smiling, but in tears.... Tears of joy. Coco is happy and she is glad that I made this decision. The words that she spoke next made up my decision that I can fully trust her.

"Why would I be angry at you?" She asked.

'I feel like I need to tell her about my problem.' I thought.

I sighed, "I have a problem and I need your help."

Before Coco could speak I heard Nia mumbling something and turn over to her side to get comfortable. Coco now turns to me and I sigh.

"Maybe next time when we have private time." I said.

-Author's side notes-

Hello readers! I am doing a side note for this chapter and probably many more. Now I know you have some questions about Nia, but don't worry it will be mentioned in the collaboration chapter. Also, NO other character is staying in this world. The last two, Yu-Gi-Oh and One Piece have to go back because of their story line in their world would be affected. Nia's story line ended and is reincarnated into a Pegasus. Again I hope this doesn't piss off people because even though this show, Gurren Lagann, had come out in 2007. So it has been about eight years give or take and besides there have been a whole lot of crossovers to Gurren Lagann with MLP and others. The anime arc is almost over and when it ends, things will go back to normal for a calm arc (Which is seven chapters).
