As I walked out of the portal into my own world, I sighed and rubbed my head. "I am so glad all of that is over..." I says to myself as I looked around my restored universe. Canterlot was standing tall, Ponyville wasn't in flames, the grass was green, the sky blue and the air clean. I took in a breath of the fresh air and sighed in relief. "This can finally go back to normal."

"From what I know no day is normal for you here." I turned around to see my newly returned Samantha walking towards me with a kind smile.

"Yeah, but you get used to the craziness pretty quickly. Sooner or later it'll be a normal thing for you too." I responded as she reached me. I was only slightly taller than her, given my new height after my transformation. I pulled her close and placed my forehead on hers.

"I guess I'll have to see." She planted a kiss on my sharp nose and smiled.

When I let go I was immediately tackled by Luna and Dash. "Thank Solaris you're ok!" They exclaimed as they latched onto me. I almost fell backwards but used my engine to stop my fall. I hugged the two as they nuzzled into my neck, holding onto me tightly. When I looked up, I saw Samantha looking at us with her arms folded and a small frown on her face.

'Oh no...' I set the two mares down and coughed into my hand. "So...have you three all been introduced?" I asked awkwardly.

"I don't believe so.." Luna responded with a hint of ice in her voice as she looked to Samantha. I shook my head and flicked her nose. "Hey! What was that for!?"

"Don't think I didn't pick up on that tone, if you three want to be anywhere near me, you're gonna have to learn to get along." I explained with an authoritative tone while looking her in the eyes. I turned to Samantha and she sighed. "Luna, Dash, this is Samantha, my girlfriend from Earth. Samantha, these are Luna and Rainbow Dash, my marefriends from here."

They all reluctantly greeted each other and I groaned.

"Look, I know this will be difficult for you three, especially you Samantha. But you will have to learn to get along or this isn't going to work, and if you guys make me choose I ain't picking anyone. So please, try and make an effort to get along." I pleaded.

The three looked at me before staring at each other, looking slightly ashamed.

"Now, are we gonna have any problems?" I asked firmly, resulting in them all shaking their heads. "Good. Now, to show you I'm serious. Anyone who causes trouble will receive no attention from me for a week!" The three of them looked at me wide eyed. "That means no cuddles, no talking, no kisses, no nothing. Understand?"

"Yes Metal..." The girls mumbled.

"Good. Now, Luna and Dash, you two need to sleep, I know you didn't get any while I was dealing with the crap in this universe, so both of you either go home or go to the Sky Palace." They were about to object when Dash let out a loud yawn and streched like a cat.

"Ok...maybe I am a little tired..." The stubborn pegasus admitted.

"Yeah...I'm also feeling very low energy..." Luna added. "Alright, we'll be in the Sky Palace if you need us." The two flew up to me and planted kisses on my cheeks before flying off towards my floating home.

"You live in a palace made of clouds?" Samantha asked with a raised brow.

"It's more of a cloud-like solid matterial and some while marble in there too." I explained.

"Why'd you put it in the sky though? Couldn't you just live somewhere on the ground?"

"This way no unwanted visitors can get to it without wings. So I don't have to deal with preachers of salesmen."

She shook her head and chuckled. "You just don't give a crap about anything do you?" She asked with a smile.

"There are certain things I care about. But if we're talking about the stuff I do here..." We saw a salesman pony get into a ballon and begin floating up towards my home. I pointed my finger and shot a thin beam through it, causing the balloon to fly all around the place as it deflated before crashing into a nearby lake. "...no. I don't."

She laughed and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Hey...Gale told me all about what you've done here. Even the bad things. But looking past that, I'm really proud of you. You pushed your depression aside to help others. How many girls can say their boyfriend saved the multiverse?"

I sighed and wrapped my arms around her. "I was just doing what felt right. I had this power, I had to use it somehow." Before she could reply, I picked her up bridal style, causing her to yelp in suprise. "Now then missy, how would you like to take a fly through the heavens?" I asked in a posh voice.

She laughed as she wrapped her arms around my neck for support. "I think I'd love that."

I smirked and took a few steps back before I began running faster and faster until I started my jet engine and took off towards the sky, ready to show her a good time, and to spend some much, much needed alone time together. It was just nice to get back to a clean world without having to worry about anything other than life you know? Just spending time with those you love, no world ending disasters to avert. Nothing, just life.

Once Samantha and I were done flying about in the clouds, I brough us back down to the area of which we started. I flew down slowly as to not make her suffer from whiplash. When I did land, I heard another voice all too familiar to me.

"Hey! Can't a girl get noticed here!"

"It can't be...that voice..." I set Samantha down and turned around to see a female version of Metal Sonic.

"Took you this long to notice your own sister? I'm ashamed of you bro!" She complained sarcastically, I could tell she was smiling.

"M-Marcy...is that really you?" Things just got a whole lot more emotional for me, I'll tell you that much.
