A few days later

I sat in my office alone, the ceiling fan being the only source of sound as I leaned back in my chair with my feet up on my desk enjoying the silence. I had decided to take a few days off any missions after the journey with Candy, I needed to think about a few things, those things including Molly. What happened after I left the bar! Did she go looking for me? Was she ,ad at me saying those things then just up and leaving? Those were just a few questions circling around in my head.

Another question was when was I going to run into the other five humans! I know Carl is still at the camp being the stubborn prick he is. Josh is with Molly up in Manehatten, Jason was the closest one to my current position as he was teaching in that university as a technology and science teacher. Brain and Kate though... I can't really remember where they ended up in Equestria. All I know is that they got engaged and Brain was trying to increase his pathetic IQ, again, good for him.

Sighing I reached into one of my drawers and pulled out a ammo magazine for The Lancelot and began idly taking out the enchanted bullets and putting them back in again, failing to notice our newest member Moonlight placing a bag of bits on the table. She stared at me for awhile before tapping my foot with her hoof, I snapped out of my trance and looked at her. "Yes Moonlight?"

"Just dropping off the vault cut for my payment. You doing alright Gray?" She asked concerned.

"I'm fine Missy, just thinking about some complicated stuff is all." She looked at me concerned before exiting the office and leaving me to my business. "Maybe I should go on a mission to get my mind off of this." I shook my head and slapped myself. "No, if I keep avoiding these thoughts I'll never resolve anything." I rubbed my temples before getting out of my chair and walking out of the office. "Maybe a walk will help me think more clearly." With that I walked out the front door of the building with the groups emblem on the top and out into the streets of Canterlot.

Meanwhile at Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia sat at her throne while looking over some papers. She set them down and looked to a certain stained glass window, showing her with a blue alicorn. Sighing she placed all of her papers to the side and walked out of the room, needing some air.

As she reached a balcony she looked up at the sky, thinking of the upcoming celebration that brought joy to others but pain to her. As she was about to walk inside a green flame flew towards her and transformed into a scroll. Smiling knowingly Celestia took the scroll in her Maci's and began to read. It was from her faithful student Twilight Sparkle, informing her if an upcoming disaster that Celestia was already well aware of. Trusting her visions Celestia began to set her plan into action, and that started by sending Twilight to Ponyville.

"Let's see if this plays out right, if anything goes wrong I can always trust Lone Wolf to step in if needs be." She sent a response letter and walked back indoors.

As Twilight read the response her eyes widened in shock. "Why isn't she taking this seriously? Equestria could be in danger for Fausts sake!"

"Calm down Twi, if it's the princess saying that you don't need to worry then you can trust her." A young purple dragon said as he stacked a few books. "It's not like we could do anything about it anyway."

Twilight frowned before glancing at a newspaper beside her. Taking it in her magic she opened up to a page where an article on Lone Wolf was shown. "We may not be able to do anything about it, but I know where we can find others who can. Spike, grab my bit purse." With that Twilight walked out of the library with the young drake running behind her with a bag of bits in his claw.

As I walked around Canterlot I got a few waves from some of the friendlier nobles in the city and even had a few mares wink suggestively at me, to which I playfully winked back. Don't judge me, it's a great way to get an ego boost, and I really needed one at that point so it was free game.

"Hello Gray." I smiled as I recognised the voice behind me. I turned around and saw my favourite moustached friend standing there with his wife. Fancy Pants and Fleur, they usually hired one of us if they needed extra security at an auction or showing, and boy did they give generous tips.

"Fancy, Fleur, I haven't seen you two in ages. How are you two lovebirds doing these days?" I ask while I kneel down to eye level. The two ponies smiled warmly and brought me into a hug which I gratefully returned.

"Yes Gray it has been far too long, it is great to see you again my friend." Fancy replied as he pulled away. "As for how we are doing, well, let's just say that we are expecting a new member of the family." Both of them looked to each othe lovingly.

I smiled as I instantly knew what he meant. Knowing what kind of rumours would go around if I yelled I kept it to a whisper. "Fleur, you're pregnant?"

She nodded happily and rubbed her stomach with a hoof. "Yes, an I couldn't be happier, although I'm not looking forward to the pain of the birth though, but I guess that it's worth it to bring a life into the world."

"Oh you don't need to worry about the pain, with female hormones in the brain once the baby is born you almost instantly forget the pain, you'll still feel a little tired depending on how long it takes but you get what I mean."

Fleur smiled warmly. "Always knowing what to say, I'm surprised you don't have a mare for yourself."

I laughed nervously. "Yeah, I'm not cut out for relationships and all of that, and I'm constantly putting my life on the line, could you imagine what that would do to someone if we grew close enough? It would destroy them in at least a few ways."

The two ponies nodded in understanding. "Well, I hate to cut this short but we are on a strict schedule today, it was great seeing you again my human friend but we must be off."

"That's fine Fancy, you're a busy pair, I'll let ya go. See you two lovebirds later."

As we separated I began walking back to the Den. But as I was halfway there I saw a purple aura surrounding me,milling me with dread as I immediately knew who it was.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh no."
