"But this child is such a part of this, such a part of you! Don't you recognise him? The boy is you, Jak!”— Metal Kor

== The present ==

It's morning and I don't want to get up but I have to so I can drop Nyx at school but the bed, it's to comfy. 'Fuck it!' I mentally shouted at my self as I got up.

I went downstairs and saw that Rhino hasn't gone up yet. 'Living with a Metal-head didn't see that coming.' I mentally said to myself. I made my way to the kitchen and made some scrambled eggs and some tousty golden delicious bread.

After the eggs were done I went upstairs to get Nyx up.

"Come on Nyx it's time to get up." I said to her as I shook her.

"* Yawn* Good morning Dad." She said as she got up.

"Good morning Nyx, I made some scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast." I said to her. Maybe today is going to be-.

"JAK THERE'S A STRANGER ON THE SOFA!" Yelled out Twilight downstairs.

'Why did that pony just screamed at me and yelled out for you?' Rhino said using the telepathic link.

'I might have forgotten to mention to her that you were staying here.' I mentally said to him.

'Then get your ass down here man. She's throwing things at me!' He yelled at me.

I quickly made my way downstairs with Nyx in tow and saw that Twilight was indeed throwing stuff at him.

"Twi stop throwing stuff at him! Rhino is a friend that is staying over until he gets the bits to get a house." I said to Twilight as I cut off her levitation spell.

"Okay fine but what is he?" She asked.

"Remember those things that attacked Applejack. Well Rhino here was one of them till I changed him." I told her.

"What!? Aren't they supposed to be hostile?" She asked me while looking at Rhino.

"He's a passifist. He doesn't like fighting." I said answering her. I turned to Nyx.

"Nyx go eat your breakfast and get ready for school." I said to her. She mocked saluted at me and went to go eat.

"Can I get out now." Rhino said behind his make shift shelter.

"Sorry for the misunderstanding." said Twilight realizing her fuck up.

"It's fine Miss?" Rhino said asking for Twilights name.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, personal student of princess Celestia." She said with pride.

"I'm Rhino former Hora-qua or as Jak would call us Metal-heads. I was a Metal-Rhino one of the most toughest of our kind." He said.

"And I'm out of here." I said as I made my way to the kitchen.

== PoV Change Twilight ==

Jak just walked towards the kitchen for breakfast leaving me with Rhino. 'Well this awkward.' I mentally said to myself.

'Indeed it is.' a voice said in my head.

'Who said that!?' I mentally shouted and noticed that Rhino cringed as I thought those words.

'Calm down woman!?' Rhinos voice echoed through my head.

'How is this possible?' I asked mentally.

'It's magic I ain't got to explain shit' He said.

'I know what you feel for him, Jak I mean.' Rhino said mentally. This shocked me to the core.

'And before you say anything. Metal-heads can sense emotions of any kind. We use that to find the rest of our cowardly enemies in the middle of battle.' He said.

'Um okay but do you know if these feelings are real or do I just have a crush on him?' I asked him hoping to get some answers.

'That is for you to find out.' He said with a smirk behind his mask.

"Hey!?" We both turned to the owner of the voice and saw Jak on the door the kitchen.

"You guys are going to eat or what!?" Jak yelled out holding to plates of scrambled eggs.

With that we made our way to finally eat. Hopefully today won't go so bad.

== PoV Jak ==

After I asked them if they're going to eat or not. Nyx finished eating and went up stairs to get ready while I decided to put on the Jak X combat racing outfit for today. I went downstairs and saw Nyx waiting for me.

"Nyx come on. Rhino you're coming to we need to get you a job and I know where to get you one." I said as I grabbed Nyxs hand and walked out the door.

"As long as it doesn't have anything to complex to do. I'm still getting used to my new form." He said as he put on his armor.

As we made our way through the town we were stopped do to a certain party pony.

"Hiya!" Pinkie greeted Rhino out of nowhere. She reminds me of Surprise Hagai Pie.

"Ah!?" Smooth Rhino real smooth. After he calmed down he introduced himself to Pinke. Since I didn't understand what the fuck she just said I ain't telling but I did here something about a late surprise party.

"Pinkie before you go, are you by any chance related to Surprise Pie?" I asked her to state mt curiosity.

"Yep yep. She's my ancestor. All my family members mention that I inherited her personality and her love for parties." She said.

"Good because you remind me so~ much of her." I said to her happily.

"I wanna know about please!"She said with puppy dog eyes.

"Sorry but the only pony that can affect me without even trying is Nyx." I said as I held up my hand pulling Nyx up with it. I then put her back down.

"So~ that's what Nightmare moon would look like as a filly. She's so cute!" She exclaimed as she hugged the shit out of Nyx. She's exactly like Surprise even got the whole 4th wall breaking ability.

"Yes but don't mention it to anypony." I said to Pinkie. Got to be specific with her.

She did the whole Pinkie promise gestures. Good I can rest easily with that.

"Oki doki loki. I need to get back to the shop before the cakes start to worry." She said as she bounced along to her destination.

"I don't even know what just happened." Rhino finally said.

"Trust me you don't want to think about it." I said to him as we continued our way to the schoolhouse.

We finally made it to the schoolhouse without further interruptions.

"Alright Nyx, I'll be bere at 3 in the afternoon to pick you up and be good, make some friends and if someone gives you trouble ignore them if that doesn't work tell the teacher okay?" I said as I hugged her goodbye.

"Okay. Bye Dad see you later." she said as she left running inside.

"Alright then. Rhino this way." I said pointed at a certain apple farm and made our way.

When we got there we were greeted by a barking Winnona. Apparently she doesn't like Rhino for being a Metal-head.

"Winnona! Come on girl!" A series of whistles and calls for the dog could be heard from AppleJack.

"Over here AJ!" I yelled gaining her attention.

"Howdy there Jak. What bring ya here?" She asked me not noticing Rhino.

"Well like I said, I'll be repairing the barn and my friend here needs a job." I said as I directed her attention to Rhino. She started shaking violently probably because of what happened. Honestly I couldn't blame her.

"Yeah Rhino was one of them but a spell easily changed that. Now he's a half pony half Metal-Rhino hybrid.

"How?" AppleJack said as she visibly calmed down.

"It's magic, we ain't gatta explain shit." Rhino and i said simultaneously as we shrugged our shoulders.

She just looked at us bemused at this.

"Alright head on over to the barn the tools are inside." she said as she pointed at the fucked up barn.

"Come Rhino time to get to work." I said to him as we made our way.

== After 6 hours of back breaking (literally) work ==

Finally we're done and it's almost time to pick up Nyx from school. Rhino looked like he had the been training in the Army. I looked up the sun in the sky and noticed a faint trollface on it. 'Tia, I will get you for this.' I menatlly said.

"Wow you two actually finished up quicker than I thought." AJ said as she walked over to us.

"Yeah. We don't mess around, we know how to get shit done." Rhino said. I couldn't speak I needed water.

"Oh yeah here's some refreshments and your pay 60 bits for your work." AJ said as she handed out two bottles of water. 'AJ you're a saint!' I mentally exclaimed as I drank the water.

"Thank I needed that." I said finally able to speak. After everything was done we started walking towards the schoolhouse.

"Have a nice day ya hear!" She yelled out.

"You too!" I yelled back.

We made it to the schoolhouse just in time for the bell to ring. We waited for Nyx and found that she was talking to the CMC happily. Nyx noticed me and Rhino.

"Hi Dad! Hi Rhino!" she greeted the both of us.

"Girls come on and meet my Dad and his friend." She said to them. The only ones that didn't look nervous was Applebloom and Nyx.

"Hey Applebloom. You still don't have a problem with your ability?" I asked Applebloom.

"No actually I have been getting the hang of it. I actually found out that one of the apple trees back at the farm was older than the farm itself." she informed me.

Scootalo and Sweetie Belle looked at us in confusion. I decided to be polite and i introduce myself.

"Hello you two my name is Jak and I'm Nyxs father." I said while smiling at them.

"The name's Scootalo!" She yelled with pride and enthusiasm.

"And mine is Sweetie Belle, it's really nice to meet you." Sweetie said politely.

"Are you by Raritys sister. You look just like her." I said to Sweetie belle.

"Thanks I get that a lot." She said.

"And you." I said turning to look at Scootalo.

"You remind me of Rainbow Dash." I informed her. She looked really happy when I said that.

"So your parents picking you up?" I asked both of them. I know Applebloom walks home its not that far. I noticed the change of emotions in Scootalos face.

"No. I can walk home." said Scootalo. I got a bad feeling about this. I saw her start walking away and turned to a corner.

"No I live very close to school. Bye Nyx see you tomorrow!" Sweetie Belle said as she made her way to her house.

"Rhino did you feel the emotions from Scootalo?" I asked Rhino.

"Yes it felt of pain, loss and sorrow." He said.

"This isn't good." I said.

"Dad what are you talking about?" Nyx asked.

"It's about Scootalo. Rhino take Nyx back home, I need to find out what's wrong." I said to Rhino. He nodded and started making his way back home with Nyx.

I need to find out what going on and hopefully solve this as quick as I can.
