Author's Notes:

Finally, a chapter dedicated to Sebastian. Let me know what you think and if you want more about him or if I should continue to only use him when necessary.

"You're offer is most appreciated, however, you are not required to do something as drastic as this just because I am related to the Hero of Ponyville." Sebastian explained to the Mayor. He had originally come down to town hall to speak with her about princes on houses. Unlike his brothers, he preferred isolation. The less people there were around him, the better. When he brought it up to the Mayor she suggested on slicing the price of the house in half for him and he wasn't exactly sure how to feel about that.

"I insist, if having a home of your own makes you more comfortable living here then I am more than happy to help you get once for a fair price." She spoke with a smile that slightly unsettled Sebastian. Why was everyone-er-pony so nice? It was weird how none of them seemed to have a switch to negative behaviors like humans did.

Eventually he grumbled to himself and accepted the offer. He was able to pay for the house in full right then and there due to a monthly income that came to him from the Princesses. He wasn't sure how they agreed to something like that or even who set it up, but he wasn't complaining. [He better not] The mayor was a bit shocked that he was paying for the house so quickly and so up front, but she just smiled and gave him the key to his new home. After taking a tight hold on the key his body turned into a cloud of smoke and vanished from town hall.

Sebastian's body reappeared in front of his new house on the outskirts of Ponyville, his sudden appearance making passers by jump out of surprise. [I'm not the only one!] He looked down at the key and shoved it into his pocket, all this would be is proof of ownership until the deed came in via Derpy Mail. His body once again vanished and materialized on the other side of the door. After doing a quick once over he could tell that this place had been abandoned for some time, it was going to take a lot of TLC to clean this place up. He knew just what to do.

Jack was outside working on his motorcycle; He had hit a pretty big bump last time he and Twilight went out and after the initial shock of them soaring in the air and crashing into the ground wore off, they found the bike stuck in a tree. It had gone through the base of the trunk like a spear! There wasn't too much damage though, just a couple dents, a few scratches, nothing that couldn't be fixed. He picked up a crow bar and stuck it inside the bike though an opening he made in front of the back tire. As he worked the tool around some of the dents started to go back to their original positions. All of his attention was focused on the bike, until he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Get crowbarred, bitch!" Jack shouted, swinging the crowbar into Sebastian's skull. The brothers head turned slightly, but quickly went back to facing him with little to no expression. "Oh shit, it's you. My bad, bro. I thought you were Dale."

"I assumed as much." He replied, "I need a favor."

"You need a favor? Ha! And here I thought we meant so little to you, you fucking ghost."

"Will you assist me or badger me, either way you will not get much of a reaction."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. What the hell do you want?"

"I need to, as you say, recharge."

"Oh, fuck. I thought it was gonna be something hard. Alright, simple enough." Jack's arm ignited and with a bit of focus he managed to give off a thick cloud of black smoke which Sebastian's body greedily absorbed. "You all good?"

"That should suffice. You have my thanks, brother."

"You know," Jack started, cutting off his flames, "One of these days I'm gonna teach you how to talk like a normal fucking person."

Sebastian looked at his brother, deciding to humor him. It was the least he could do. "I already know how to talk like a proper dumbass, I picked up on it pretty quickly after living with you. Sorry I can't stick around fire-crotch, but I got shit to do." And with that he vanished, leaving a wide eyed Jack standing in place beside a beaten up motorcycle.

"...Did that motherfucker just burn me? That fucking cunt! You can't burn me! I'm the god damn Phoenix! Get back here!" He shouted, but his words left his mouth in vain as Sebastian was already long gone and focused on more important matters.

Sebastian materialized back at the house and threw off his jacket, leaving him standing completely topless in the house. He clapped his hands and rubbed them together as smoke started to form around him and his body suddenly duplicated, creating clones of himself. With all the energy he had been given he managed to produce nineteen clone, making twenty of them all together. Once that was done, they all looked to each other and nodded, mentally assigning themselves a job in the house. The clones worked very efficiently, mostly due to the fact that their thought patterns worked similar to that of a hive mind. Whenever one of them did something, the rest of them knew. If one of them needed assistance, then the nearest one could run over and help.

A knock at the door alerted several of the clones and thus all of them knew there was someone there. With that in mind, the clone with the least amount left to do ran over and opened the door to see Pinkie and Maud. Pinkie had a bright smile as she started talking a million miles per second while Maud stood there with a slight blush upon seeing Sebastian without his top. Suddenly, Pinkie's voice became clear, "Anyway, after I took care of all of that Maud came over because she couldn't find you. So I talked to the mare and she told me you bought a house and that you were probably there working on it. She was right!"

The clone didn't respond, he merely opened the door further as the original made his way over. Maud's blush deepened as she saw the house full of Sebastian's, all of which were topless and working hard to fix up the house, but her expressionless face did not falter. Once the original was over he tapped the clone's shoulder and it went back to work. "I see. Is the mayor always so willing to give out information like that?" He asked, slightly annoyed the loud-mouthed pony now knew of his residence.

"Not really, but she let's me keep up to date so I can throw surprise parties!" She explained.

"I'm not sure if you recall this, but I despise parties. It's nothing against you, Pinkie. Social gathering just make me uncomfortable. So I would like to ask you to refrain from such activities in my home."

Pinkie didn't like the idea of not throwing him parties, then he would be completely left out while she threw one for everypony else. She would respect his wishes though, it was his house after all..."Okay, I won't throw parties at your house."

"Thank you, Pinkie." Now that the annoying one has been dealt with, he turned his attention to Maud. "You were looking for me, were you not?"

Maud's attention shot from the house's interior back to the original Sebastian in front of her. "Yes, I was. I wanted to let you know that I have finished finished my studies in Rock Science and decided to move to Ponyville."

Pinkie's smile grew as she wrapped her hooves around her sister. "Isn't it great? She'll be staying with me until we can get her a house, but-"

"She can stay with me." Sebastian interrupted, earning him a shocked look from Pinkie. He could tell by the look in Maud's eyes that she was a taken by surprise as well. "I've come to enjoy her company and wouldn't mind it if she stayed here with me." He explained. He did prefer isolation, but Maud was typically quiet and kept to herself a lot of the time. She wasn't like her much more lively and bouncy sister, which made her bearable, but her quite behavior was like his in most ways making the weird relationship they had work out very well. "Would you like to stay here, Maud?"

She looked back at Pinkie who seemed to be excited about thi-
[Wait a second! Were you planning this?]
Maybe just a bit
[You sneaky bitch...well played...]
Ditto to you for setting this up.
[I don't know what you're talking about.]
Oh come on, you filled up a whole house with shirtless Sebastian's just to get Maud hot and bothered.
[You have no proof! Now, I need to get back to the story. So if you don't mind...]

As she looked at Pinkie something told her that this was a good thing and that she should go for it. She nodded at Sebastian, "Yes, I will gladly move in with you."

Sebastian couldn't be too sure, but he could have sworn he saw the faintest smile grace Maud's features. It was a bit weird to see that, as she was usually so emotionless in the face, but it didn't bother him. He stepped to the side to allow the mare into her new home. She found herself almost drooling over all of the clones working on the repairs.

Maud was suddenly shaken out of her mesmerized-like state when something shiny entered her vision. She focused on the object and immediately recognized it as a key. She grabbed the key and held it in her hoof before looking up at Sebastian. "Don't you need this?"

"Keys obsolete to someone with my abilities. Unless this house were to be completely sealed off from the outside to the point where even air couldn't get through, I will always have a way in." He explained, his powers allowed him to slip through pretty much anything. Being able to turn into gas allows that kind of thing.

Maud stared up at him with a strange look in her eye, one he didn't immediately recognize. "Thank you." she said, grabbing his leg and pulling him down to her height so she could hug him.

Sebastian was VERY surprised by her sudden display of affection, but couldn't help but return it. He wrapped his arms around Maud and cooperated in the embrace as the clones continued working on the house, feeling the same warmth building up inside of them that was growing within the original.
Oh my gosh! This is so cute! They're gonna be together forever!!!
[Have I even said whether or not they were officially dating?]
You've implied it a lot.
[I know I've implied it, but I don't remember actually saying it or not.]
Ask for help from the readers, maybe they remember
[I guess I could do that, but I don't think that's completely necessary.]
Why not?
[Cause they can fucking see this! All of it!]
Really!? Even this part!?
[Yeah, even this conversation. They're reading it right now.]
*GASP* Hello bronies! I love you all!!!
[Shush! We're taking up too much time. This chapter is over now, so say goodbye, Pinkie.]
Goodbye, Pinkie!
[Oh my god...]
