Since you moved from Canterlot to Ponyville a surprising amount of things happened, first of all Rarity was so surprised you even moved back to Ponyville she spent an hour crying hugging you as did Sweetie. Sweetie was more sensitive about the subject of you coming back that she stuck to your leg hugging it, fearing you'd leave again. Once you calmed her down that you'd stay permanently she stayed over the first night back home. She didn't bother giving you or Luna privacy, that was the first day which was all fine and dandy.

Days went on as you took Sweetie to school in the mornings, picked her up after school. Modeled for Rarity so she'd have your measurements, help Fluttershy with her animals friends (mostly the carnivores.) Helped Twilight with understanding the magic you held, gave some help to AJ around the farm when she needed it, and even helped Rainbow with her agility.

Today was more of the same, visiting Evie at Fluttershy's seeing as she needed to be healed for her stomach aches, and visiting Twilight to see how her flower project is going. Today was a relatively cold day, since it was late fall you took your jacket. You looked around your house to see Riley reading a book while Luna hummed listening to whatever music she decided was best for the day.

You left your home and walked through town, everyone who you grew up with in the old schoolhouse grew up too. They waved to you smiled at you and even bowed. You guess that being royalty gave you the perks necessary to have them respect you, not that you needed them to respect you. Even as a kid the names tossed at you were by ponies from other towns or cities even then the townponies from Ponyville defended you.

Though there were four mares who you missed, Lotus, Aloe, Vinyl, and Hazel. Those four girls were your best friends and well the only ponies you trusted. You haven't seen them, not yet.

You left town and entered the country side as you continued on towards Fluttershy's cottage nearby AJ farm. It was close enough walking distance that you could visit Fluttershy often, but now wasn't really a visit.

"It's okay Evie, all the bad stuff you ate is all gone. See you only ate something really really bad for you. See chocolate is really really bad, no more chocolate for you okay?" Evie whined as she pushed dirt on her vomit. "Oh look Aiden's here."

Evie approached you looking like she wanted to be petted, you smiled and nodded as you pay her head and hugged her.

"It's okay girl, the worst is all past you. I promise just stay with Fluttershy a little longer so she could give you medicine because it'll hurt longer if you don't." She whines but lays her head on your lap, you smile and patted her head. Soothing her soft whines until she slowly fell asleep.

"Thank you Fluttershy, you really know your stuff about animals. I just wish she didn't have to suffer, I guess she got into the pantry and ate some chocolate by mistake. I just hope she doesn't do it again."

"Don't worry animals usually think twice after the first time. She'll know it's bad to eat something like that again, but if she doesn't learn just lock your pantry at night." You nod and smile as you slowly began to move away trying to get away from her but like a baby to a pacifier she got close again and stayed on your lap.

"She's like a cuddle little baby." Fluttershy mentions with a giggle. You smiled and pet her smooth furry check as you laid back and sighed.

"Ya know in nature I feel more in peace then I ever was in being royalty and pampered. It just feels more natural that way, I know it might be dumb since I'm technically half deer and being in nature is more natural then most ponies think. But I'd miss the most civil of crap, ya know technology." Fluttershy smiles as she looks around to see animals beginning to circle around you to, she slowly sat down her legs tucked under one another as laid there with you.

"I'm guessing your cutiemark is more akin to wild animals huh?" You asked.

"Yes, I discovered my talent when I was little. After the Sonic Rainboom Rainbow Dash made years ago, all of us were connected by that single event huh?"

"Yeah, the Rainboom scared me that I just freaked out and used something elder deers call overgrowth, it happens when a powerful deer discovers his magical genius. Anyway vines grew everywhere and I felt myself beginning to feed those vines, I felt the most powerful I have ever have in years. I loved it, but that single event unlocked my magic. But I didn't find my element till much later."

"You found it before us didn't you? How was it?"

"Yup, I thought 'hey why don't I take a stroll down an enchanted forest.' Ya know for kicks." You say jokingly as Fluttershy smiles giggling a bit.

"Anyway I gotta go, thanks for looking after her. If anything happens please tell me." Fluttershy smiles and nods as you rose from the ground and stretched leaving the cottage and walking back into town.

Later...

You entered town and walked all the way towards Twilight's treehouse, the large library was rather impressive it was subpar it didn't stand a note to the treehouse back in White Leaf.

You walked into the library and looked around, the standard smell of ink and paper cobbled together by the smell of flowers made the library feel really weird.

"Twi! You around?!" You shouted as you looked around the first floor to see only books upon books of well every subject imaginable. You approached the door at the far back and pushed against it, you looked around to see several dying flowers.

"Awww poor little guys, I guess Momma Twilight neglected you guys. Don't worry uncle Aiden is here." You say with a smile as the drooping and whittled flowers slowly began to recover.

"Why can't I make flowers like that?! Your magic is far superior then mine in a White Leafian aspect." She says with a pout as you shrug.

"Well there's something's you're good at and others I'm good at. It just so happens I'm good with flowers and you with the general magical mumbo jumbo. Anyway I'm guessing you fucked up the schedule?"

"I didn't 'fuck up' the scheduling, I just didn't remember what you said about flowers and the amount of magic that's necessary for flowers to grow at a steady pace." She says looking down with a blush.

"Right, something tells me by the amount of dry dirt there is you also forgot that flowers other then magic need water, sunlight, some fertilizer and at least some supplement of love." You say with a chuckle as you grabbed the watering can and poured some water on the dry dirt as the flowers rose only slightly, you then looked at the small bag of fertilizer and patted some down near each flower as they all got their dose of animal feces. You looked at the curtains and opened them making sun pour down on the flowers as they looked rosy and perky. You walked over to a nearby sink and washed your hands with soap and water.

"Anyway Twilight, got any news back in Canterlot? I'm guessing after your crazy torrent before I came was settled by something between you and Celestia?"

"Yeah, the rest of the girls have to write journals about what happened in our pursuit in learning more about friendship."

"And something tells me you're gonna need more lessons on friendship."

"Speaking of friendship has Pinkie been persistent on having a party taken a toll on you?" Twilight asks smiling.

"Eh there's been attempts, but nothing too major just her trying to get me to follow her to Sugar Cube Corner. But she's isn't being as persistent as you said she'd be."

"Since Evie's gotten sick she's been trying to lay off on the party for you, I think it's because she feels sorry. But who knows that mare is a mystery wrapped in an enigma." Twilight says as she walks towards the kitchen you followed her and looked around. There were a few dishes here and there, but other then that nothing smelled like burnt anything.

"Know where her family lives? They've gotta be as nutty as Pinkie is."

"I'm not sure, she rarely talks about her family. Nobody's really asked about them either, not that I blame them Pinkie's one of my best friends but sometimes I don't even think she's fully sane."

"Eh what could you do, she's basically a pony bubblegum. If she's as sweet as she seems then she and I would be good friends."

"Right, you probably just wanna date her. I think you're just think about her boobs too." She says with a smirk.

"That maybe true, but I like Pinkie other then her appearance. Which I gotta say I love a chubby girl like her every once in awhile. She genuinely wants to get to know me no matter how much I resist." You mention smiling as Twilight nods.

"Well if you either see her for her body or how she acts. There's a reason why she was given the element of laughter, she's just that good at helping others when they're in need." Twilight says smiling, you lean on the counter and cross your arms as you looked once more around the kitchen.

"You really keep this place clean don't ya?" You asked

"Well of course, just like in the library everything needs to be in alphabetical order. If anything is misplaced it'll ruin my system, both in Library and when I'm hungry."

"So you can cook?"

"No Spike handles all the food, without him I'd be going out almost every night for a meal. And trust me that's not healthy."

"Ah so we're in the same boat, the two of us would rather do something else then cook? Well it's a little different for me, I can't cook because I'll end up killing myself."

"I think yours is a special case Aiden, you can cook because you're basically a walking talking tree who is sensitive to embers."

"You got me Twi, you got me." You say pretending you were stabbed in the chest.

"I always will." She says with a giggle.

Hours later...

It was late at night and you arrived to Canterlot, your mind was on one thing. Getting Eris out of the dungeon, you walked through the streets and quickly approached the castle. You looked around the castle grounds and quickly enveloped yourself in pollen as it began to camouflage your body, you looked around making sure to stay silent as you approached the castle dungeon.

Mimicking Dago's thumbprint you managed to open the doors as a thick piece of ice surrounded the door, shooting off your pollen it began to heat up the ice making the fast moving pollen melt through the ice. You continued down the narrow hall and approached the two statutes, one of Discord while the other was of Eris. You looked at Eris and let out a sigh you touched the icy cold concrete and let out a sigh, with a sudden air you released Eris from her prison.

"G-gahhhh! S-so c-cold." She shivers as she hugs herself trying to gather heat. You took off your jacket and draped it on her.

"Stay quiet and follow me, I'm taking a huge risk just taking you out of here." You mention as you began dodging as many guards as possible. The only times you almost got caught was from Eris's teeth chattering. Though there wasn't much you could actually do for her, the only thing you could do was hug her so she'd get your heat and as for everything else that can be solved later.

The Next Day...

With Eris out of Canterlot and you still getting the hang of things in Ponyville you were bored. You rose from your living room couch and stretched your back as you took out your phone, there were many texts from Rarity and as it was close to breakfast you decided you'd pay a visit to your little sister.

Along with get some food for the road, you left your home and walked towards the marketplace passing by ponies and reaching Rarity's home and business. But just as you were to knock you smelled something in the air, it smelled burnt and rather gag inducing.

Looking around you found Rarity's hidden key and opened the door, you looked around the lobby of the boutique and walked towards the back where Rarity's home was. You entered to see your parents enjoying a rather extra crispy looking plate of eggs and juice?

"Oh Aiden! My little baby boy!" Your mother says as she hugs you, after hearing that so many times it doesn't really bother you anymore.

"Mom dad what're you doing in Rarity's house?" You asked

"Well me and your ma wanted a short vacation so we thought bringing Sweetie Belle to stay with her sister would be a great idea, you're still settling and didn't want to bother ya." Your dad explained as you smiled looking to see Sweetie cooking some eggs, they were getting really close to burning as you walked towards Sweetie.

"Aiden! Do you want some? I thought mom and dad would be hungry so I made some for them!" You chuckled and smiled.

"It's fine, but didn't I tell you about not touching the stove until you were at least older to handle it. Or I actually taught you to cook." Ah yes cooking, from time to time when you visited your family you'd cook for them. Apparently your family loved your cooking and impressing Rarity was hard hearing she loved your food was sorta inspiring considering she was sorta high maintenance.

"You said to not touch the stove in mom and dad's house you never said anything about Rarity's." She says a smug smile as you chuckled and messed her hair up.

"Smart kid." You say smiling as the burnt smell of eggs began to permeate around the kitchen, suddenly as scream was heard along with a thump and a grunt. Rarity looked disheveled as her mane was extremely mess she wore some silk pjs with her name etched on the breast.

"Sweetie! Whatever are you doing!" Rarity shouts as she runs towards the stove and put out the burning eggs.

"Oh this just perfect! Our family all together like a unit, it feels like the good old days!" Your mother says with an excited squee as you smiled, both sisters smiled too as Rarity tried to hide her anger.

"Yeesss right, family, mother father what're you doing here in my home with Sweetie with you?" Rarity asks trying to not appear as rude.

"Well it's a little short notice honey bun, but your mother and I decided to take a short vacation after all with you kids out of the house but only Sweetie around we rarely have time to ourselves." Your father explains with a smile.

"Oh I see, well I can't really take care of Sweetie, with all my work and not including cleaning my home, washing dishes, and doing my laundry. M-maybe Aiden can take care of her, he isn't doing anything." She informs smiling as Sweetie looked up, you sighed and shook your head. This was going to suck.

Later...

You there? I'm still getting used to my life here in Ponyville, it's been awhile since I was here. You texted Lotus

And you missed Aloe again, you're kinda slow to be honest. But I'm sure Aloe would love to talk to you if you were faster. She texted back

Well I'm busy, I'm trying to adjust to things around Ponyville. Hang out with my sisters and my friends around here, to be honest I've missed a lot. Like Vinyl's first concert years ago, you remember I had to sneak out of my room in Canterlot just to see Vinyl's last song.

To be honest, you shouldn't care too much about the past, that's just it. The past and life goes on, you're only human.

Thanks Lotus, I know you're there to help me and I'll keep that by my side. Anyway how's the spa?

Stressful, but fulfilling. The night went on.
