Nathan had returned to his human form, Lyric and Sapphire at his side holding his hands. He looked down at them and smiled, he had noticed a few things about them as they walked down the street. Lyric seemed to be extremely shy, while Sapphire seemed to be more open, she was still shy though, after all the two of them were only born. He also noticed a soft glow came from their hairs and clothes.

"Daddy?" He looked to Sapphire who was looking at him with curiosity.

"Yes Sapphire?"

"Why did you change?"

He looked at her and tried to for the words. "Well, this is what the people of this world look like, when we get to our world I will change back."

"Do we have to change?" Asked Lyric.

"Not if you don't want to son, you can stay this way, turn into a pony or look like me when we get back."

"I don't want to change." Lyric mumbled quietly. Nathan pulled him close to reassure him, earning a small smile from the boy.

"Daddy, are we going to see mommy?"

"Yes Sapphire, we're going to go get mommy and then we're going home."

"Is mommy pretty?" Nathan smiled warmly at her question.

"Yes, she is very pretty." As they turned the last corner they began walking straight for the front of Canterlot High where the girls, Aria and Adagio were sitting. Sunset noticed Nathan walking towards them and alerted everyone. Once he reached the statue the twins hid behind him.

"Nathan! We were so worried." Sonata took him into a warm hug and kissed him on the lips. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted Sapphire peeking under Nathan's arm. "Who's that?" Nathan smiled warmly and turned to the twins.

"It's ok, they're all daddy's friends." They looked at each other and looked back at him with unsure looks. "It's ok, I promise." He walked behind them and placed his hands on their shoulders to reassure them. "Everyone, this is Sapphire and Lyric, my children." They all gasped.

"But how?" Asked Sunset.

"After I defeated Nightmare I was rewarded with these two, they're created from my positive and negative energies." He looked up to Sonata. "Looks like Junior will have some playmates." Sonata looked to the two children in shock.

"Mommy?" Sonata placed a hand to her chest in disbelief.

"Yes Sonata, they recognise you as their mother." Nathan pushed the twins gently towards her with a smile.

Sonata got on her knees and looked at the two children.

"Mommy?" Sonata started to tear up and nodded, she opened her arms and the twins rushed into them.

Nathan stood up and looked at the sweet sight before him. The sense of fulfilment returned at seeing the complete family, with another member on the way. He joined in on the hug and kissed Sonata. The girls all looked at the new family with soft smiles on their faces.

"Well then girls, looks like it's time for us to go." Twilight hugged the human five and Sunset, she then looked to Aria and Adagio. "So, what do you two have planned then?"

"We'll just stay at Canterlot High and try to blend in with the crowd, try and live normal lives for once." Adagio answered with a honest smile, earning a nod from Aria.

Sonata got up and walked over to her sisters. "I'll try to visit as much as I can." They hugged and Aria ruffled her hair.

"Just get going you goofball." Sonata smiled and walked back over to the twins. Nathan then walked over to Sunset.

"Make sure Adagio and Aria get settled in ok, I'll keep in touch through the book in Equestria." They hugged and Nathan walked over to the portal. Twilight waved goodbye and walked through the portal with Spike. Sonata waved back and walked through with the twins. As Nathan was about to walk into the portal he turned back. "Good luck in the Frienship Games." With that he leaped through the portal.

When Sonata had exited the portal she had pink see-through wings and her hooves were shaded pink as well, her mane was flat and was missing her ponytail. The twins had remained the same, they sat with Twilight as they waited for Nathan to come through the portal. They had cleared the way for his size as they weren't sure if he would be shrunken by Twilights spell or if he'd come out full size. After a few seconds the portal glowed and a glowing white blog was at out of it. The blob then grew and formed Nathan in his ranger body. "Ok...that was a terrible experience."

He shrunk down to his smallest size and looked to his family. "Looking good Sonata." She smiled and flew up to rest on his shoulder. He turned to the twins. "Well Sapphire and Lyric, welcome to your new home." Sapphire looked around the large library in wonder while Lyric walked over and sat beside his father, looking around in caution. 'He's extremely shy, he'll get better over time...I hope." Nathan set his hand down in front of Lyric and the boy climbed into it.

"I'll go set up one of the guest rooms for the twins." Twilight said, leaving the family alone for awhile. Nathan watched as Sapphire walked around and looked at the stacks of books, occasionally stopping to look at a few covers. She looked around for a bit before taking two books and holding them under her arm.

"Will Twilight mind if I took these books to read?"

"I'm sure she'll let you borrow them for awhile, as long as you give them back when you're done." He answered in a soft but stern voice.

"Ok daddy." Nathan moved his attention to Lyric who had found some sort of amulet. It was purple with a white gem in the shape of a four pointed star in the medallion.

"Lyric, where did you get that?"

"The green man gave it to me...he said it was for you when we got here." Lyric gave his father the amulet before walking off to join his sister in the hunt for a book to read.

'Green man? Must be talking about Roden.' Nathan held the amulet up to his eye to inspect it. "What is this thing?" He took a chance and focused some energy onto it. Sure enough there was a flash of light and he started to change. When the light died down Nathan was now a tall white earth pony stallion with a thin waist and small mussel. His cutie-mark was a bullet with purple fire. His eyes were dark purple and his mane was spiky and also purple. His hooves were solid black and he wore the amulet around his neck. He got up and placed a hoof to his head.

Sonata glided down and looked over her partners body. "Well, looks like we've solved that problem." She walked over and put a hoof to his cheek. "You alright there handsome?" He looked at her and smirked.

"Never better." Just then a note floated down and he caught it in his hoof.

Dear Nathan
The amulet you are wearing can transform you into your human, ranger and pony form at will. When you are in ranger mode it will appear as a gadget in your inventory, as a human it with be a bracelet and as a pony it will be an amulet. When in pony form you can change into an earth pony, Pegasus or unicorn depending on what you need, you cannot however turn into an alicorn.

Sincerely, Roden Godswell

Nathan smirked at the letter. "That magnificent bastard." He handed the letter to Sonata, once she read it she looked at him with a sly look. "What's that look for?"

"Oh you know perfectly well what it's for." She passionately kissed him and looked at him with half lidded eyes.

"Can you at least wait until the kids are asleep first, don't want them seeing anything." She rolled her eyes and Twilight walked into the room. She froze when she saw Nathan's new form. "See something you like?" Twilight snapped out of her trance and starred daggers at him.

"The guest rooms are ready, there's one for the twins and your room has been converted to suit Sonata being there." Nathan smiled and walked over to nuzzle Twilight.

"Thank you Twi, I appreciate it." Her features softened and she rolled her eyes.

"Ok ok, don't you go soft on me."

"I'm a dad now, I'm probably going to change a little bit." Sonata walked to his side and called the twins. "Hey Twi, the twins were wondering if they could borrow a few books to read. That ok with you?"

"Sure it is, just make sure they aren't damaged." Nathan nodded and the twins came back, Sapphire had five books in her hands while Lyric had one book on magical places in Equestria.

"Alright you two, let's get you into bed." They both nodded, not questioning their fathers new form and they follow ed Twilight to their rooms. Sonata waited at the door while Nathan tucked the two into their own separate beds in their plain room, he'd get them new bed covers and some furniture later. He kissed the, goodnight before blowing out the candle that lit the room and closed the curtains.

He and Sonata then walked to their room. As Nathan closed the door he turned and saw Sonata laying across the bed with a 'come hither' look. He smiled and walked over to her.
