I was flying back to ponyville when I noticed Celestia, Luna and the elements were heading towards the forest. I saw a little black filly running in the forest.

"Hey, guys what's going on?" I said as I landed and turns back to normal. They all stopped and I saw twilight looking frantic, and she had tears in her eyes.

"Dillan, have you seen Nyx anywhere!?" she said grabbing my shoulders and shaking me violently. She only stopped because Celestia grabbed her in her magic and pride her off of me.

"Twilight, stop it or else you're going to dislocate one of his shoulders." She said trying to comfort her student.

"But, Nyx is in the forest by herself and I don't want to  think about what could happen to her." she said as she broke down crying. I couldn't stand seeing her cry like that without doing something.

"You should all get her back to the library, and make sure she's ok." I said to everyone with them looking at me with surprise. Twilight tried  to protest.

"But Nyx is still in the forest I can't leave her!" she screamed.    

"If you look for her now your emotions will only put more of a kink into finding her, and it`s not just you," I said looking at everypony "You all have a connection with Nyx, it's better if someone who doesn't know her finds her, if only to be positive that nothing will happen." I said with a sincere smile to Twilight "I`ll look for her and bring her back to the library, I promise   Cross my heart  and hope to fly  stick a cupcake in my eye." I said going through the motions. I turned to walk into the forest only to be pulled into a hug by Twilight, that shocked me to no end.

"Please," she said with tears in her eyes "please bring her home alive."

"Ok, ok I will please stop hugging me now it's awkward." I said with an uncomfortable expression, I ran into the forest looking for Nyx.

      Nyx's point of view

Nyx was running in the forest crying her little heart out.

"Why," she said "why do Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have to be so mean" she said as she sat at the base of a tree near a lake. she still remembered what they said   `Twilights a traitor and so are all of her friends, and the other losers, Diamond Tiara said `yeah, like why would anypony be friends with that thing, if I was you, I would kill myself just to keep from being embarrassed `. said Silver Spoon

"Why mommy?" she said "Why do you have to be friends with Dillan?" "But then again he's not so bad, I meet him last night after all, and he seems nice, he helped me get through some stuff" she said looking into the water

"Nyx?" She heard a voice say and turned around to see Dillan standing there with a small smile on his face.

Dillan`s point of view

I was running as I was looking for Nyx, I finally found her near a lake at the base of a tree and I overheard what she was saying.

"Why mommy?" she said "Why do you have to be friends with Dillan?" "But then again he's not so bad I meet him last night after all, and he seems nice, he helped me get through some stuff" she said as she looked  into the water.

"Nyx?" I said, she turned around with a look of surprise.

"Dillan, what are you doing hear!?" she asked with a hint of fear in her voice.

"Looking for you, Twilight's really worried and so is every pony else, why don't you tell me what's wrong?"

She told me everything that diamond tiara and silver spoon said and I was pissed to say the least but didn't let it show.

"Nyx you can't let them get to you, you can be friends with whoever you want and you can't let them scare you into not being who you are." I said as I rubbed her head "you know, I was really worried about you, every time I see you either on the street or at the library I can't help think of My niece back home, you're so much alike it's uncanny." I said with a smile I saw that it looked like she had small tears in her eyes.

"Oh common now don't cry," I said pulling her into a hug and rubbing her back "Don't let them get to you." I said.

"It's not that... do you really think of your niece when you see me?" she asked me.

"Eeyup," I said trying to imitate big mac getting a laugh out of her "You wanna know something when I was looking for you, the only think I could think of was what if I couldn't find you, but a song came to mind that made me forget that though, I know you feel like an outcast because you were Nightmare moon, but i'm more of one than you. at least your a pony." I said in a comforting voice.

"What song?, could you sing it?" she asked hoping to change the subject.

"Sure, hold on, ultimatrix cyclone." in an instant I transformed into an anthro pony with black and blue hair, blue spiral eyes and light blue fur. I used the magic I have in that form in order to summon a guitar. I turned back and started strumming  this song

Look at me

You may think you see

Who I really am

But you'll never know me

Every day

It's as if I play a part

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that man I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

I am now

In a world where I

Have to hide my heart

And what I believe in

But somehow

I will show the world

What's inside my heart

And be loved for who I am

Who is that man I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection

Someone I don't know?

Must I pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be

Free to fly

That burns with a need to know

The reason why

Why must we all conceal

What we think, how we feel?

Must there be a secret me

I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

She looked at me with tears in her eyes as she jumped me and pulled me into a hug.

" Dillan that was beautiful no pony has sung a song  like that before," she said crying into my shirt. "You don't have to be afraid to be yourself." she told me.

"Don't worry I know that, and you don't have to either.  I swear I`ll never let anything happen to you, now let's get back to the library, I'm sure Twilight and the other`s will be wanting to see you ok?" I said patting her on the shoulders.

"Right." she said as we started walking back.

Back at the library Twilight was pacing back and forth.

"I need to get out there and find her!" she screamed running towards the door but only to be stopped by Luna's magic this time.

"Calm thyself Twilight Sparkle, Dillan will find her I'm sure of it." she said with confidence.

"How can you be so sure sister?" Celestia asked

"Because, Dillan is a lot like me or at least partly, I can sense that he was hiding some fear when he heard Nyx was in the forest, I believe that he is the kind who would give up everything to save the life of a child." she said with a stern look on her face.

"I don't think so Luna Dillan didn't seem very scared when we told him that Nyx was in the forest." Celestia said

"That, is another thing we have in common," she said. "We can both hide our emotions well."

Right after She said this the library door opened and Nyx, and myself walked in, I saw every pony looking at us until twilight rushed us. she was so excited about seeing Nyx that she knocked me to the ground.

"ow, seriously?" I said getting up. "I know she's your  daughter but you need to pace yourself."  what I said fell on deaf ears as she bombarded Nyx with questions. We told her everything and as we got to the part about me singing a song to cheer Nyx up and what I said after words I heard Celestia say to Luna.

"It, would appear that you were correct Luna." she said

"Indeed sister," She said "I can tell when someone is hiding their true feelings, after all  it's what I did before I became..."

"Nightmare Moon." I said startling them "Sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I have good hearing and I can't help it sometimes." I said with an apologetic smile.

"It's quite alright, Dillan how much did you hear?" Celestia asked.

"Indeed, I also know about Double D, I heard him talking before you passed out, the other day." she said.

"Oh, ok I`m not surprised seeing as you can enter the dream plane." I stated

"Its complicated Tia, but how..." Luna started.

"Do I know?" I said with a smirk. "I`m me."

I watched as Nyx explained everything to the others what Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon said, it was at this point that the cutie mark crusaders came in. Everyone in the room looked ready to kill the two fillies and were about to go after them until I spoke up.

"What are you going to do, when you find them?" I asked.

"I for one will lock them in the dungeons at the castle for saying such things!" Celestia said and everyone except me, and Luna nodded in approval.

"Sister, you cannot." Luna stated everyone aside from me looked at her.

"And why not pray tell?" Celestia said.

Luna was about to respond but I cut her off.

"Because, it's their own opinion`s and you can't throw them into the dungeon for having private opinion`s, that would be oppression." I said sternly with all eyes on me (except, Luna`s). "I have a better suggestion, tell their parents what they said, and tell them that if they don't then you'll throw them in the dungeon for... Twenty five years just to scare them into telling the truth, then let the parents handle it." I said to them explaining the plan.

"I agree, it might be excessive but its the best way without having to put them in jail." Luna said smiling.

The others were staring at me with shock until Apple bloom spoke up.

"You... came up with that idea fast Dillan." She said.

"Not really." I said with no emotion. "When I heard what they said I started thinking of ways to help Nyx get back at them, but all of them would have ended me to become encased in stone, so I got rid of those ideas, then I started thinking who besides me, or the princesses could make them as sad as they made Nyx, then it hit me their parents. " I said with a smile.

It took about two minutes to find and tell Diamonds and Silver`s parents everything of course it took a little bit to get the fillies to confess, but when they did their parents grounded them for three months call it poetic justness I guess. then the princesses said that if they didn't stop picking on the other children, then they would be sent to the dungeons.

"Well, that was a productive day." I said as I started heading down stares to go to bed, until Nyx stopped me.

"Um, Dillan?" She said.

"Yes, Nyx?"

"Could I sleep with you tonight, I don't want to be alone right now and after today -I feel safe around you for some reason." she said with a small smile.

I looked at her with confusion, and looked over to Twilight who just giggled and nodded her head yes.

"O-ok, you can sleep with me Nyx, come on," I said.

"Um, there's one more thing you said I reminded you of your niece and uncle armor has never really treated me like his niece, more like a nuisance so I was wondering..." she trailed off.

"Yes?" I said .

"Could I c-c-call you my uncle?" she said with tears in her eyes. I heard something hit the floor and saw twilight looking in shock.

"Nothing would make me happier than for you to call me your, Uncle Dillan Nyx, now come on let's get to bed." I said smiling as we when downstairs and went to sleep, leaving Twilight sitting their in shock until, she realized what Nyx said.

"Oh, shining Armor is going to get it!" Twilight said angrily.
