Zero's POV, three weeks after Symbols Death

Well, looks like I'm taking over the story now. It's been a hard few weeks, after losing my last sibling and all. The girls have been feeling a little better after all the stuff that's happened. What caught me off guard was that Octavia was pregnant with Symbols kid, didn't know my bro had it in him.

I'm still working at the nightclub with Vinyl and it does pay well, I've taken up residence in Symbols old house with Crystal and Flare, who had revealed themselves as a race called 'Changelings.' The told me I had to keep it secret and that the only other person that knew was Symbol. Hey, if my bro trusted these guys I'll trust them too.

Anyway, things have been pretty calm and peaceful lately, other than meeting a guy that calls himself Posit. He looks exactly like me and Symbol, he said he was a manifestation of Symbols positive emotions, now that Symbol is gone he's his own person now and lives in Ponyville with us. Another weird thing that happened was a woman by the name of Vivi has started visiting Octavia, I don't know who she is but I think I saw her with Symbol a few times so I'll give her the benefit of a doubt. We have yet to see that Forge guy again, Author and Marx know he isn't dead and he isn't trapped in Lisa's world so he's just somewhere out there now.

That floating island is still there, Celestia and Luna had explored it and just closed it off to the public, anything Forge was planning in there is useless without Symbol, so I've heard.

I've grown to like my new life in Ponyville, it's a much better place than Masereth I'll tell you that, no rampant drug trafficking, no mob families, friendly neighbours and a great sense of adventure when the time arises.

Oh yeah! There was a statue built of Symbol that was placed in the Canterlot Gardens, and a memorial built near town hall. The guy saved everyone, I think it's justified. Nothing else has happened since then, so I guess we gotta see what the future holds for us.

As usual I was awoken by my alarm clock rattling away on my bedside table. I grabbed it and threw it at the wall, shattering it into tiny pieces. Slowly rising out of my bed in the room that had belonged to my brother I stretched my limbs. I pulled out one if my drawers that was full of spare alarm clocks I set one on the nightstand for the next day. Looking at the time I nodded, 10:30 in the morning. With my job at the nightclub I was awake until two to three in the morning so I had to sleep in to avoid exhaustion. I tossed my pyjamas onto the bed and got into my usual wear, a long sleeved green shirt that I left unbuttoned, a black t-shirt underneath, light blue jeans and white sneakers. Walking over to my dresser I opened the box that held my necklace in it and put it on.

As I was about to leave the room I glanced at a chest that I had been unable to open. My brother had locked it and hid the key, who knows what he's got in there. I walked down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, where I found Symbols pet spider Scary looking over a cook book with a tiny chef hat on. The little guy was actually an amazing cook. "Morning Scary." He turned his fluffy body around and waved a foreleg at me. He pointed over to the opposite counter where a plate of pancakes and some orange juice sat. I nodded to him and he went back to his book. "Getting ready to help with Wasp and Zanny's date with Aloe and Lotus?" He nodded his tiny head and started scurrying around the kitchen gathering various utensils and other cooking items until he had them in organised piles.

I chuckled at the little guy, you can basically call him a person with the way he acts and thinks. I don't know how he cooks and all as he never lets us watch but I know he's damn good at it. My brother did know how to pick his friends, even back on earth he chose his allies carefully.

After scoffing down my breakfast I made my way outside. Crystal (Zanny) got a job at the local jeweller, he appearenly had a talent for creating and cutting rare gems, Flare Blossom (Wasp) had gotten a job at a perfume shop. Hey, whatever pays the bills.

I began walking towards my favourite pony's house, the house of Vinyl Scratch. It was a spilt house, with one side being refined and classy, the other being electric and suited for a teenager to call their home.

Knocking on the door I was immediately answered by the mare I wanted to see. "Sup Scratch?"

"Sup Shattered?" We brohoofed and she allowed me in.

"So, we all set for tonight's show?" I asked while rubbing my hands together in excitement.

"You bet, just gotta get the new turntable from Neon Lights then we are good as gold." We both smirked and grabbed a can of soda. We popped the tins open and began chugging down the delicious liquid. Once we were done we crushed the cans on our foreheads and tossed them into a nearby rubbish bin.

"I see Octavia has started making you clean up more around here."

"Yeah, she says that since she's going to be having a foal live here in the future that I should try and keep things to an acceptable level as to not set a bad example. I'm actually thinking about moving out though." That caught my interest.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I love kids and all but I'll have to cut down on my wub time if I stay here when the thing arrives. I'll stay with Tavi during the last few months of pregnancy to help her out, but once she can move around by herself I am gone." I nodded, Vinyl wasn't one for keeping quiet for more than a few hours at a time, so it was understandable.

"I'd offer for you to stay with me, but I don't think Wasp, Zanny and Scary would appreciate your wubs like I do." She smiled and nudged my arm.

"Keep saying it like that and I'll assume you're after a piece of this delicious plot." She smirked.

"Maybe. But if I was after your plot I'd want the whole thing." She smirked and looked at me with a sultry gaze, which I returned. We stared at each other for a while before we burst out laughing.

"Hah! Good one Zero, I really needed that!" I patted her on the back and headed for the door.

"Right, see you tonight Scratch." I opened the door and went on my way.

Author's Notes:

So Zero is getting his own story arc now instead of another spinoff. This will take place through season two and possibly past that.
