I'm back! Yeah. Time for a new story! Wouldn't you agree? I can't just stick with one character. It's just not in my nature. So time to add some new ones! *sigh* And yes BBB I will not forget about David. Also I'm sure I'll get a question like 'How's your family?' I'll tell you at the end.

I was having one of those dreams again... about that man... the one who went missing. He was on what appeared to be the moon? Yeah I think that's what it was and there was this big purple woman he was fighting and something happened and they both blew up and he landed on Equestria...

"Elizabeth!" I heard in my ear. Was someone calling for me? "Come on Liz!" I was shaken till I awoke.

"Huh?"

"You need to wake up. We're almost in Canterlot!"

"Relax Sally... Mm..." I couldn't help but rub my eyes. "What time is it?"

"It's 5."

"You know I wake up at 6 everyday. Just give me one more hour please."

"But Charity won't wake up and I'm bored."

"Okay okay...I'm awake." I scratched my hooves through my red-hair and went to the mirror to make sure I didn't look like a slob. I had deep amaranth red hair and a white coat and blue eyes. I also had a cutie mark of a club. (Not the weapon. The club from cards.) What kind of talent is a clover? Well it might explain why I adopted Lucky as a nickname... "Sally?"

"Yeah?" she was looking out the window at the castle.

"How many times has that thing been rebuilt?"

"A lot in the recent years. But ever since that mysterious warrior disappeared it's been all peaceful."

"How long ago was that?"

"5 years now? Right?"

"Must be."

"Liz do you miss Earth?"

"Of course I do!" I put my arm around her neck and pulled her in for a hug. "There's not a day like it. Us and our families all living together in peace." She lowered her head so that her black hair covered her face. "Sal. Come on don't treat me like that."

"I know..."

"Sal it was a long time ago. What did we agree on?"

"That we wouldn't think of it again."

"And why?"

"Because it depresses me."

"That's my girl!"

"Sorry Elizabeth."

"It's okay." Just then Stephan walked in. "Hey Step."

"Don't call me a step. I can handle Steve but that's about it."

"Sorry Stephan. What are you doing up?"

"Me? What are you doing up? It's not 6 yet."

"Sally here woke me."

"I was too excited!"

"Alright. We need to get back into pony names." said the guy.

"Stephan what's the point? Everyone knows what a human is."

"So it's okay if I go to someone like Rainbow Dash and say 'Hi I'm Stephan!' that it will be okay?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

"I heard she hates humans." said Charity as she woke up. "You guys bickering woke me by the way."

"Sorry Char." Said Stephan. I looked out the window at the castle again.

"Humans should be welcome. Hell one human married both Celestia and Luna."

"How does that work out?" asked Sal.

"Very carefully. So what are we going to do again?"

"Make a new life!" said Char happily.

"But I was having fun in Appleloosa."

"Yeah until you blew up the Sharif's office!"

"I told him I was sorry..."

"And then you threw hot coffee in his face and destroyed his balls."

"He was violating me!" God... why does it always go back to the nut kick? "Anyways... I wonder if they even have jobs for us."

"They always have jobs."

"True but Canterlot is always packed. I imagine that we'll go there and they will probably ship us off to Ponyville or something."

"Don't say that Beth. I bet you will rub your luck off on us." said Stephan.

"That... came out just wrong." said Charity.

"I came!" yelled Sal.

"Oh nice comeback." said Steve.

"I came on your back!" I yelled at him making us all laugh.

"Alright. Liz wins." said Char. Then the train began to slow down. Before we get off I'm going to give you a quick rundown of my friends. Ahem...

1st is Sally. Around 20 years old, She's only a few months younger than myself. She has dark black hair, green eyes, and a grey coat and the cutie mark of a heart.. 2nd is Charity. We all met in middle school by the way. We should all be in out early twenties.. She's human as well with blonde hair and blue eyes and the cutie mark of a diamond also she's a pegasus. They were bright blue opposite to my dark blue eyes. She also had a red coat. Then there's Stephan, who's a pegasus as well. Char's boyfriend. They have been together for a long time. He had brown hair and a sky blue coat with brown eyes with the cm of a spade.

"I miss my xbox." said Stephan.

"Oh man so do I..." I told him in agreement. "Do you remember all the trolling we did on black ops?" I asked him.

"Do you remember the squeakers!" said Sally.

"Oh that was the funniest thing you ever did Liz." said Char.

"When I made that 12 year old cry? Oh man that was gold!"

"They probably have games now. Technology has been booming." said Sal. "We can use magic for the controllers."

"Sal... You and I are the only ones who can use magic." I told them. "We just need to keep our cool and try to do good in this town. From all the newspapers I've read this town has had a bad history."

"Don't worry. We will." Suddenly the train stopped. We arrived earlier than I expected. "Sal check the time please." asked Stephan.

"It's a little after 6."

"Damn it Sal!"

12 minutes later...

We were on a tour of the city. They do this so no one will get lost because as the rumor has it "If you get lost you will never come back!" Why? I don't know! Who would start such a mean rumor? Fucking trolls...

"And this was the area in where the..." I toned out the boring tour guide and started looking around. There were great plants and statues yet were getting a tour on where this David character pronounced his love for Celestia. Great. I so care. "Excuse me miss... yes you there red head."

"Hmm?"

"Did you hear everything?"

"Yeah."

"What did I say?"

"You said this was where David the hero proposed to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."

"Oh... you were listening."

"So you think I'm dumb because I have red hair?"

"I never said that."

"What's your name?"

"Chuck."

"Human. Now I see where the ignorance is coming from."

"I never called you dumb."

"You implied it!"

"Liz calm down..." whispered Sally.

"Yes. Calm down Ginger..." The one thing I can not stand is when someone calls me that. I walked over and smacked him on the ground and held him there. "*GACK* Sorry... can't breath..."

"Do I have freckles? Do you not see how deep red my hair is? Do I not have a soul?"

"I...sorry..." I let go of him. "Jeez lady. Relax."

"Ignorant bastard. You don't know how to treat a lady do you?"

"Sure I do!" He yelled. My friends giggled at his response. "What's funny?"

"First rule. Don't raise your voice."

"God... how old are you?" I bonked him on the head.

"Second rule. Never ask a girl her age." The crowd was starting to cheer. He opened his mouth to speak again. "Ah... ah... don't speak. Third rule. Know when to quit." He closed his mouth and looked away with a blush.

"Next stop people..."

"Nice one Liz." said Char. "Here for a few minutes and already 'hitting' on a guy."

"Oh shut it." I gave her a light noogie. "Why can't we do something interesting like the museum?"

"Because this tour guide wants to take forever." whispered Sally.

"Why don't we just go right now?" asked Stephan.

"Because this is a free tour and I'm learning." I told him.

"Of course Elizabeth has to be smart to prove that all redheads are smart." I smacked him on the back of the head. "And ar hot tempered." I smacked him again. "Ow..."

"Hey..." said Char. "Stop hitting my man candy."

"Oh excuse me princess." I said in my sarcastic tone. "Sally do you know how long this will take?"

"About 5 more minutes."

"Okay."

5 horrifying minutes later...

The past 5 minutes were torture. I just wanted to see the history of this world. Honestly is that too much to ask? Also I had that rude tour guy eyeballing my ass every second. The next time he does it I'm busting his balls.

"And here we are. The Museum of Amazement."

"I hope the title amazes me." said Stephan.

"Maybe it was for amusement. If that's it I am not amused." said Char.

"Gravity cat is not amused." said Sally.

"Sal I am disappoint." I told her getting her trademark smile. Oh it was one of those smiles that warms your heart every time anytime.

"Here's a model of the first spear." said Chuck. Most people went by but I studied the weapon. I read every note and memorized every detail. "And here is the remains of a body we found." He pointed to a glass structure in the middle of a room riddled with thank you notes, drawings, paintings you name it. "This is believed to be the skeleton of the Painkiller."

"He was the human who went missing right? Because the battle of the moon?"

"We don't know about a battle miss." That's right. It was all in my dream. I got a good lock at the skeleton. His legs were gone and he had something crumbled up in his right arm which appeared to be metal. His left arm was a skeleton and so was his skull. He was also missing his jaw like someone kicked it off. He also had a white ball in his right eye socket which I believe may be his eye. "He was found in the middle of Sweet Apple Acres, which is in Ponyville, on top of an asteroid. He has battle wounds and markings of explosion damage yet none of us know exactly what happened. Some things are better left unanswered."

"What's that?" I asked pointing to the object crumbled in his metal arm.

"We don't know. He won't let go. None of out equipment can cut his hand open and Prince David asked personally for us to leave it with him."

Well that was nice of him to do. I don't think the Equestrians understand the human way of respecting the dead. And I can learn so much from him!

"Elizabeth... Woohoo!" Sally was waving her hoof ahead of me.

"Huh?"

"Your doing your sparkle in the eye thing."

"Look at him! He's probably a genius!"

"Actually he's a madman." said Chuck.

"Rule four. Don't correct a woman." he walked away from me. "Guys maybe we can find someone like David and ask questions!"

"That's just you Lizzie."

"All ponies please leave. The museum is closing." said a guard.

"What? But I'm learning so much!"

"Leave!" he shouted in a Royal Canterlot Voice sending my hair out of it's regular ponytail fashion into a mess. Sally and Char grabbed me.

"No! I want to stay!" They wouldn't let go. "Fine. I can walk on my own." They released me and I walked out the door with them. I guess they have a private showing going on and we are not invited. Museums don't close at at 7 in the morning.

"That's all for the tour. We have more scheduled for the rest of the week." The guide dismissed the group and walked towards "What's your problem?"

"I had to wake up early today, get off a 3-day train, and I didn't get to enjoy the museum."

"Try again tomorrow."

"Sorry. I have plans." We walked away as I reached into my pocket pulling out my smart phone. "Tour. Check."

"What's next?" asked Char.

"Well... we can do lunch or we can meet our new neighbors."

"Lunch." They all said in unison. We went to this nice little spot which isn't a very popular restaurant but they had these amazing sandwiches.

"Eating contest..." started Stephan. Charity and Sally looked at their plates with determination. "Except Elizabeth who only got one sandwich."

"Don't hate my sub!" I gave my food a hug and stuck my tongue out. "But I'll time it. Readysetgo!" I said quickly as they all began devouring there food. It was gross but enjoyable. I took time eating my sub. Why? It's delicious. That's actually the only thing I could think of. Then this red tough pony walked in with what looked like Octavia? Oh I remember reading his book. Niko. "Excuse me!" I called out to him.

"Hello." He said. "Do I know you?"

"No. I just wanted to know your name."

"I'm married." All my friends laughed.

"No I mean are you Niko York?"

"Yes I am."

"I've read your book!"

"Oh a fan! Finally! What did I say Octi?"

"You said don't doubt me." She was pregnant by the looks of it.

"And you are?"

"I'm Elizabeth." we brohoofed.

"Human?"

"Yes. All of us are. We just got here from Appleloosa."

"Ah the desert. I remember the desert. It was when I first became friends with Dustin Shafer."

"The Painkiller?"

"Yes."

"How was he?"

"He was nice. Kept his cool even though I had him at gunpoint. Its a shame that he died."

"I'm sorry."

"So am I." Then the waiter put two glasses of water on the table. "It was nice meeting you."

"Same." he walked away to join his wife. "That was nice."

"Uh..." was all Stephan could get out. He had his face sideways on the table and Char had her hooves waving wind into her face. Too much hot sauce. Sally was still eating.

"I win!" she said.

"Let's see. Two sick ponies. That means next on the schedule is our new home." It took us a year for the stupid company to finally offer us a house.

Flashback at Sunny Beach homes industry

The operator took a seat and place her headset on.

"Hello this is Sunny Beach homes. How may we help you today?"

"OH finally I got you to pick up. Great! Listen please! I'm trying to get a house in Canterlot and-"

"Please hold. Hello this is Sunny Beach homes. How may we-"

"You did not just try to put me on hold again! I demand service now!"

"We don't have any homes available to you."

Then a few months went by...

"Sunny Beach. How may we help you?"

"You want to help me now?"

"Is this Ms. Elizabeth?"

"Yes."

"We have plenty of homes available."

"Wait why now?"

"Because many people evacuated to the possible threat of the SlenderPony."

"But... that doesn't exist."

"Do you want the house?"

"Yes please!"

Current times...

"Good thing we had those two big ponies hired to move our stuff right Liz?" asked Sally.

"Yeah...I guess...Erg... hah hah almost there..." I was carrying Stephan who fainted. "Look at that..." we were all taken away by the beauty of the beach house. It look amazing on the outside with a perfect view of the beach and ocean and sunset. Oh there's nothing better than a good sunset. I laid Stephan on the comfy couch and Char sat beside him.

"This is amazing!" said Sally. "Liz I though you were getting the small cheap one."

"Well since everyone left and the business was dying they sold me the house instead of renting it for the same price as the cheap room."

"And that... is why we call you Lucky." said Charity.

"Oh don't go there." I went to the kitchen and went through the cabinets. They didn't leave us groceries. "Guys I'm going to the store. Who wants to go with me?" None of them raised their hands. "Alright. Give me a list..."

10 minutes later...

I was at Pony*Mart. Yeah they put an asterisk in their name. Why? It's like they knew that would drive me nuts. I picked up milk, break, cans and cans of food, ready to cook meals, food for testing you name it! I got toilet paper, towels, shampoo, everything a family could possible need. I didn't get any drugs or anything if that's what your asking. Getting it back was easy. All it took was one measly little transportation spell and POOF home it was. Yes I paid for it. And with coupons! That meant I only spent about 40 bits instead of 500. Isn't that smart? I think so.

"Lizzie!" said Sally who jumped me when I walked in with a surprise hug.

"Ah! Oh no! Hugs! My only weakness!" I fell down when she started tickling me. "Oh hah hah hahahaha s-stop it! I can't breathe!"

"Good work." she said getting up and getting me on my feet.

"Sal how do you tickle without fingers?"

"I have to rub."

"Okay now it just got weird." I walked to the TV and cut it on. "I'm surprised you guys weren't watching some stupid show."

"Your the one who likes sitcoms Elizabeth so don't even try to make fun of us for it." said Stephan. "No we were on the beach."

"Without me?" I gave my saddest puppy dog face.

"OH don't do that... Your tugging my heart strings..." He cringed in pain and turned around. "No we were just exploring."

"And that's better?"

"We brought you back some shells. I know you collect things." He tossed me a few of them. "You got a lot of groceries."

"Coupons."

"Right."

"Hey Liz!" called out Char.

"Yeah?"

"Did you pick up toilet paper while you were out?"

"Yeah I did." I went through one of the bags and handed Steve the 12 pack of paper. "You do it lover boy." He smiled and took it to her.

"And on this date. July 19th. We honor the death of the Painkiller who has saved us numerous times." said the TV I stopped arranging the groceries and payed more attention to the Television. "The museum was closed off as King David and many of his friends stopped by to say there regards for the fallen hero. Even though his death and treasure are a mystery we still remember this man for his sacrifice."

"Wow. I would have like to meet him." said Sal.

"Sally I think he would have liked it more."

"What?"

"In Niko's book. The world he left behind."

"Sounds gay."

"Sal..."

"I'm sorry!"

"It said that Grimm or Dustin often secluded himself. He had a companion once but she was killed. So he was often lonely and that kinda sparked his insanity. He wasn't even that insane he just had these crazy ideas."

"That's really sad. But he made the world a better place right?"

"Yeah." I went back to watching the TV. "You see that alicorn right there? The white one with brown hair and the crown."

"Yeah?"

"He's human. King David. Now he reserved the entire museum for himself and all his friends."

"Right?"

"Right. I'm thinking that there's something hidden in the museum."

"You want to sneak in?"

"What? No. I want to go back soon and take another look at Grimm."

"Who?"

"The Painkiller."

"Oh..." I walked to my bedroom. I got the east-side room with a bunch of those big windows and plenty of room. We took the house with only three bedrooms. A master bedroom and two slightly smaller queen bedrooms and since Stephan and Charity are a couple we gave them the biggest room. I asked Sally to put my bags in here and she did that at least. It took me FOREVER to unpack.

"Hmm..." I found a picture in one of my bags of us together at Fillydelphia. We've been traveling for the past few years finding a place to settle in. It looks like if things go our way it might be Canterlot. I just need to not mess this up for them again. I also hope we don't get anymore of those random attacks I've heard about because Dustin's gone and I don't think that this town could deal with anymore panic. Other than that it's a paradise here.

"Elizabeth!" called Charity as I walked into the living room. "We were making a pact." I went on to making some sandwiches for dinner.

"Oh? About what?" I asked finishing them. I got really good at it in the past years.

"Things we are not going to do. I'm not going to put us in danger this time."

"I'm not going to hurt anyone here." said Stephan taking his and Charity's sandwich handing it to her.

"I"m not going to cause any trouble." said Sally taking hers.

"I'm not going to mess this up for us." I told them. When I had already began to eat mine they were halfway done. Kids these days. Someone has to be the mature one though and that's me.

"OH Liz." Stephan stood up and hugged me. "Sure you got in trouble at Appleloosa. And you may have blown up a building in Fillydelphia. And in Hoofington..."

"I get it."

"It's not all your fault is what I'm saying."

"Gee... thanks."

"Oh you'll get over it!" said Charity. "You've always been the strongest of us."

"In brute strength? NO that's you."

"Are you calling me a brute?"

"No It's just your dad was a bodybuilder. I'm sure you have the most muscle. Stephan's the smartest. Sally's the prettiest. I'm the... Hmm..."

"Most lucky!" said Sal.

"And she drops the bomb."

"Your the cutest." said Char squeezing my face like a baby. "And I'd say your endurable at that. And we wouldn't get far without your cooking."

"Thanks Char. So who wants to explore the town?"

"It's getting late." said Stephan. "I'm sure you will want some sleep."

"Goodnight!" said Sally walking away. Char left with Steve.

"I... uh... goodnight?" Hmm... they must have had an exhausting walk on the beach. I know! I'll make a nice breakfast for them. I went to my room and carefully arranged the sea shells in a nice order on the wall. If anything I'd say this whole day has been good. I know I sound like I want to be smart but... honestly I'm kinda dumb. Well not really. I just freak out at the last minute. Stephan's a bloody genius however. I can repair anything though. My dad taught me how. He was an engineer or actually 'Repair Technician.' was the word he used. I wanted to be a writer like mum but I enjoyed working with my old man.

"Go to bed." said Sal as she walked by. "And what did I tell you about leaving your door open?"

"Sal it's not like someone is going to walk in on me."

"But you sleep in the cutest positions!" this brought a blush to my face. "I don't want someone taking pictures!" she closed the door. "Goodnight."

"Night Sally!"

I reached into my side table and pulled out my journal.

"Year 3 Day 25.

My friends and I successfully made it to Canterlot. It was a nice day today but it was also a day of memorial. On this day a warrior named the Painkiller passed away. No one knows how but I have dreams about it every now or then. Like he was on the moon fighting and it cost him his life to save the planet. I still have troubles naming the planet. Everyone says Equestria but it feels like Earth to me. Also my friends went walking on the beach without me. The nerve. But I don't blame them at one bit. I just hope that... we can have a great life here. ~ Elizabeth Knightly."

I folded it and place the bookmark back inside and stored it in my bed-table. I cut off the lamb and wrapped myself in my quilt and quickly fell asleep.

Hey! Oh it feels good to get back into the stories man! I know I said it would probably take a month or at worst a year but I got my life back together this week. A few bad things have happened. My father couldn't pull through his cancer. He was already in the late stages so he passed away on the 13th. It was really bad so the doctors just pulled the plug on his life support. I miss him and I hope he makes it to heaven. It's odd. I was always a church-man but I never really got into Christianity like my dad did.. My sister moved to some random place so it's impossible for her to have a wedding with all of us there which suits me just fine. I got a great job and I meet a new girl... Yeah I'd say I'm back on the ball. Sorry for the wait. Yes new characters who I am feeling really good about. I just couldn't keep on doing parallel worlds and shit. ~Static Wielder signing back on baby!
