I awoke in my bed earlier than usual. The temperature had violently dropped... (Canterlot is 1000 feet in the sky so consider the elevation and how it affects the temperature.) so I have resorted to using Twilight as a blanket.

"Dustin... where are you going?" asked the sleep weary girl who held her arms out for a hug as I stood up.

"To go get the fuzzy quilt. This blanket right here isn't doing the job."

"Mmmmm..." she tried to get up but was too tired. I reached in the closet, grabbed the furry, soft, large blanket (Or the winter blankie as Twilight likes to say.) and threw it over us as I sat beside her.

"Better?"

"Much..." she said before quickly falling asleep. I felt Sir Pounce-a-lot moving through the blankets and pop up between us with his small rabbit chew toy in his mouth. He passed out too. I tried to fight it, but this feeling right here was too powerful to fight. I put my head against hers and closed my eyes quickly passing out. Eventually seconds turned into minutes. I awoke at the sound of the 6 o'clock alarm.

"Mornin'..." she mumbled while wiping the sand from her eyes. "I love this blankie so much!" she said hugging the brown quilt.

"Mmm... give it back." I told her reaching for it. "I don't want to go to class..."

"Dustin... it's Saturday."

"Saturday?!"

"Would you like to sleep for a little longer?"

"We always do on this day." I said while getting a quick kiss on the lips from her. "Tell me... what do you want to do Twilight?" I asked pinning her down forcing a blush to her cute cheeks.

"I have a few things in mind. Having the cutest guy ever pin me down is one of them. Another is taking off the blanket... AND!" she quickly turned the tables and pinned me down on the bed. "And I want to be with him forever..."

"Flatterer." I said wrapping my tail around her waste.

"Hey guys!" said Niko opening our door.

"GAH!" Twilight jumped and threw the blanket over both of us. "H-hi Niko."

"Listen! I have some bad news!" he shouted.

"Okay first you have to push the ON button on the remote, and then you-" I began to say before being interrupted.

"Shut up and listen! I received a death threat! A bunch of people did! Didn't you two get the text?" We both looked at each other and raised an eyebrow. I grabbed my phone to see 'No new messages.'

"I didn't get one." said Twilight.

"Niko are you okay?" I asked him as he wiped sweat from his forehead.

"Yeah... I guess it was just a prank."

"Must be. Now if you'll leave me and the Missus." I turned around to see Frost. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

"Why won't you help us? This could be serious!"

"Why would someone text you guys saying "I'm going to kill you?"

"I demand that you help us!"

"But Frost! It's Saturday! This is my one day for fun!" I said while looking between her and Twilight. "Trust me... it was a prank. Who sent it to you?"

"There was no number." Niko said bluntly.

"How is that possible?" asked Twilight.

"Must be from a computer source." I said taking his phone from his pocket. I went through the messages and found the death threat. He was right, no number. I grabbed a connection wire and synced it to my labtop. Now I was interested. I couldn't track the signal from anywhere on campus. "Still don't know who it is."

"I just got a text!" said Twilight whipping out her phone. I turned to see she was unhappy with what it said. "I got the same hate mail. But... it says 'Keep on trying Shafer.' Who is this guy?" My eyes were a bit wider just thinking about it.

"How...uhh...how'd he do that?" I asked her letting curiosity take over me.

"I don't want to know." she said sitting down. I looked at Niko and Frost.

"I'm not getting anymore involved with this guys. I'm too freaked out."

So I went to open the door and leave when a massive football player stood in my way. I mean massive. Compared to my 5' stature, this man was the Iron Giant!

"You Shafer?"

"Uhhhh..."

"Your friend Brandon was making some bets. Your coming with me!" I turned to look at Twilight and the others.

"Maybe I'll stay here and help my friends with their d-"

"YOUR COMING WITH ME!"

"-and okay."

4 minutes later...

"Brandon what the hell did you do this time?"

"I made a bet against the other team (Chrysalis's Institution for Changing the Future.) that we could beat them with just one person, me, but I broke my wrist recently." He said holding up his left arm. That's his catching arm all right, and the wound was impossible to fake. I looked at the giant player who dragged me out here and then the referee of the other team.

"Dustin! What are you going to do?"

"C-catch the ball..."

"Josh! What are you going to do?"

"MURDER DUSTIN'S FACE!"

"Let's do this!"..............Oh no. I feel sick... maybe I should go break my wrist right now and go home! I looked to my right to see Brandon remove his cast and pull a mold off of his wrist. Damn artist!

"You fucker!" I shouted at him. He smiled and pointed to the sky. I looked and saw a ball, which I accidentally caught. I then looked to the other side of the field to see 12 guys running at me at full speed. "*sigh* Well... at least I still have 8 lives left after this- OOOOFFF!" Was all I managed to choke out before getting tackled. I didn't even have time to react. All I know was that I blacked out.

Meanwhile...

"What do you mean you don't know?" David shouted at me.

"Relax David-"

"Don't tell me to relax! Do you know what's at stake here?"

"I just found out myself."

"Okay... maybe it's just a false call."

"They don't fake the call."

"Maybe they aren't pricks 24/7!"

"What's going on?" asked Luna.

"Grimm has to go back to Heaven." said David. "And apparently there is a big commotion going on up there."

"Just Grimm?" asked Celestia. I began to scratch my chin weakly.

"Grimm..." David said in his angry tone.

"I told God not to summon you so you could settle down with Tia."

"Idiot! What if you get injured and I'm not there to back you up?!"

"I spent the past 15 years alone... I don't see how now is any different."

"But-"

"Don't worry. I already fixed Joe Robot up good as new!" (In case you don't know who Joe Robot is, it's the dummy me I built with a copy of my own memories. He's just as awesome and insane as I am.)

"I thought he was malfunctioning!" said Luna.

"He is! Joe get in here!" I shouted as an identical version of myself climbed through the window.

"Joe Robot reporting for duty Grimm sir!"

"Now you will take on my position here in the school as-"

"Murphy O'Schavver! Chemist! Also a great physicist, yet David won't share the class."

"Hey!" David said in annoyance. "You can't just blame something like intelligence on me!"

"I can. So Grimm, sir, you had better get moving."

"Alright. Great news Joe!" I said while happily teleporting away.

In heaven...

"What's the situation?" I asked walking into the battle room.

"I'm not sure..." said Gabriel. "But look at these energy signatures!" he said handing me a chart.

"I've seen these before..."

"Is their something your not telling us human?" demanded Uriel.

"Yes... His name is Benjamin. Or he's known as Cold Iron. I'm afraid that none of the soldiers here are ready to handle him."

"Who is he?"

"An old friend of mine. Glad I didn't bring David along..." I said looking out the mirror to see a comet heading our way. Problem is... it's not a comet. It's hellfire. "Everyone get in battle positions! Archangels spread out and watch the perimeter! Uriel, go make sure the civilians are okay!"

"Understood!" she said while moving out.

"Sir?" asked Gabriel.

"You heard me. Go get the other Archangels and watch out for others. I'll handle Iron!"

"Roger! Be careful!"

"Same to you my friend." I said while grabbing his hand and pulling it in for a hug. He moved out and I donned my Painkiller armor. I flew up to meet David's nemesis.

"Well well well... if it isn't the Painkiller." said the charbroiled monster in front of me.

"You look good Ben. I see hell's been treating you good."

"That's right. I made my way to the top. While I was there... I made some new friends!" He said while laughing. Obviously insane. I looked up to see 10 more meteors heading my way. "So what do you think?"

"Your going to need a lot more guys..."

"Tough words for a dead man walking! Come now Grimm! Let's see what you got!" He shouted while creating two large chainsaw swords in his hands.

"That's...new..."

On Earth...Elizabeth's POV

"I feel funny..." Lightning said while rubbing his head during lunch.

"Are you alright?" I asked him.

"I'm fine Liz." I grumbled and put my chin in my hand as I leaned on the table. "Something wrong?"

"It's just Sal. She already got a new date and this one's worse than the last!"

"She can't just settle with one guy?" asked Stephan putting some beans in his mouth.

"It's harder than you think." said Charity looking at him.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"I mean Sally's a free bird. She'll learn one day on her own..."

"All we can do is wait?"

"I give it 2 days!" Stephan said slapping a five on the table.

"3." said Lightning putting down his money.

"Today." I said putting down my money.

"You can't be serious!" said Sally behind us. "How could you guys?!" We all looked at each other then back to her while shrugging our shoulders. "I can not believe you people!"

"Sally please just-"

"Shut it Liz! You don't know a thing about dating!"

"Oh real nice. Let's throw my love life under the bus why don't we?"

"Take a break Sal." said Stephan.

"I bet you think your better don't you? Being with one girl for 3 years!" she pointed to Char. Lightning looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

"She's just blowing off some steam." I told him making him nod in agreement. At least Lightning's not like the other guys. He listens at least.

"Hold on... got a phone call." She said while putting out her phone. "Hello? What! You can't be serious! Fine! Never call back!" she hung up, threw the phone in her purse and looked at all of us angrily. "You win again Liz."

"Yay!" I happily my five from the table and handed everyone else their money back. "I don't want anyone's money."

"Why?" whispered Lightning.

"She always wins!" Stephan whispered back.

"I hate you guys." Sally whispered angrily.

"Ohhh no you don't. Stop being so grumpy."

"Don't tell me what to do Liz! You'd never understand." she said turning away and storming off.

"Is she...?" Lightning asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Don't worry. She'll come back and be sorry." I told him.

Meanwhile... in Grimm's place...

"What are you doing?" Luna asked walking in.

"I'm fixing up Joe Robot." I said placing a wrench in my mouth and grabbing a screwdriver. I was replacing the circuits and fixing the hard drive.

"But he's broken!"

"That's the point of fixing him. So he's not broken anymore." Just then, grey smoke expelled through his ears. "Aw dammit!"

"*giggle* Like I said-" she was cut off by Joe.

"Joe Robot! Up and ready! How may I help you today Master?" he said looking at me.

"...Well I'll be damned. Joe! Okay! I need you to take my place here at the school buddy!"

"Understood. Hello Madam Luna. You're looking better than last we met." this brought a blush to her face. "Master, have you made your move yet?"

"Uh... no?"

"Oh for shame. Who wouldn't consider asking out the beautiful Luna on a d-" he didn't finish as I yanked the power cable from his neck.

"Aw... I was enjoying that!" Luna said happily.

"Yeah... well... he needs some work done."

"So what's this about?"

"I need to leave."

"WHAT?!"

"Relax! I'll be gone for about 3 days. Something bad came up and I have to answer the call."

"Do you have to?"

"Yeah, I just said I did."

"I wanted to spend some time with you."

"Why would you want to do that?"

"Because a girl like myself has gone this long without love, and she needs someone every now and then."

"Sounds like a lucky guy. Who is he?"

"Are you serious?"

"...Yes?"

"And I want to choose someone to be with. Ring any bells?"

"Yes!... No... not at all. I'm not getting you."

"Maybe if I..." she said seductively while unbuttoning her shirt. "...give you a hint?"

"...What?"

"Grimm you can't be serious!"

"Okay. Mmmmm.... I'm not serious anymore. What's the hint?"

"You see..." she was cut off as my pager went off playing the communicator sound from Power Rangers.

"Got to go! Bye Luna! Cut Joe on in 10 minutes, there's a switch behind his nose!" I said equipping my armor and flying towards the location programmed into my helmet. "Pandora huh? Haven't been there in years." I said to myself as I flew across the world to the village in the Alps. It was a hidden village, with a portal to another world. However the people there were too nice and caring to notice it.

Shame too, the portal is a direct link to Hell. If the chains were destroyed and the seals broken, then I'm afraid that they'd all perish. I was scared that the portal was the issue I was called to address. I didn't bring David along either. With Celestia and all... I don't know. Luna was obviously hitting on me as well. I miss the old days where David had...two...wives...huh. I think I'm going to convince him to marry both of them. Get her out of my hair.

As I landed in the village, I noticed that it was deserted. Signs of a struggle were visible, and some of the houses were damaged. Someone was here, and they didn't leave any witnesses.

"Well well, look who we got here." I recognized that voice. From a long time ago... I turned around to see Singing Blade and Dancing Blade, the assassin brothers who where my first kills. I hated that feeling, but now I love it.

"What did you two do to the village?"

"Ohhhh... nothing. Just a little decorating." Dancing said while throwing a sword at me, which was almost too fast for me to dodge. "Still a good fighter eh Shadow?"

"If it's a fight you want, then you'll get it."

"We've changed Shadow!" said Singing Blade as he appeared beside me. I forgot how these two fight, their tactics! Glad I didn't bring David along, these two would've crushed him. I dodged his attack and jumped backwards to stand my ground when I was attacked from above by someone else!

"Grimm! How's it going?" I turned to see Cold Iron standing tall and mighty. He was a demon now, combining the powers of hell and the powers he already had, making him tougher than ever before. And he wasn't even in Dark Steel mode or whatever he called it.

"Got you!" Dancing shouted throwing another sword nailing me in my left side. It entered through the front. I saw Singing go for another attack, so I turned my hand into a claw and started stabbing him repeatedly until his lifeless body fell. "Damn you! Song! Speak to me-" I threw my hand through Song's head, killing his brain, and turned my hand into a gun, as to which I shot Dancing in the head once through his eye.

"Not bad. Still not good enough!" Iron shouted while jumping in the air with one of his magic swords drawn. I gave him a quick uppercut putting more space between us.

"Stand down Ben, or I will kill you. Again."

"Never!" he tried to put his hands around my neck, but I smacked his arms down and picked him up, throwing him away from me. I walked over to him with my arm in the form of a shotgun barrel. "Have mercy Grimm Reaper! Please! I beg of you!"

"You... who just destroyed this entire village of innocent people, want mercy from me? I thought you were made of tougher steel-" I was cut off as my vision went yellow. Someone just threw an egg at me. I wiped it off and turned to see Hard Break and their son. Ben took this time to tackle me. I turned the cards around and used him as a human shield against his family. "You two! What do you think you're doing?"

"We survived Grimm! What you did to the old world!"

"Equestria was not our home!"

"Maybe not for you, but for us!" the son whose name I don't remember. I swear... why can't kids these days have easy to remember names? No instead it's all Mary Josephine the Fourteenth! Hell even Sir Reginald is hard for me to remember because I swear to God I have to worst memory.

"Got you now!" said Dancing Blade who impaled me from behind. I killed him didn't I?! No! Wait! They're regenerating! The Pandora's Box! (The portal...) Oh son of a bitch!

"I don't have time for this." I said throwing him over my shoulder and pulling the sword out of my stomach. Why didn't Singing come back?

"Miss me?" he asked appearing out of nowhere. Yeah he came back to life. I stood some distance away until I saw a bright purple light fill the sky. I looked over to see Iron's kid holding a ball of mass energy. A spirit bomb.

"What's he thinking?" Dancing asked while running away.

"Steel! Don't do this!" That's his name! Cold Steel! Aha! Grimm you crazed genius you!

"Watch and learn dad!" he shouted while throwing the ball at me. It was too fast to properly dodge, and the power would destroy the whole fucking mountain! So I caught it.

"Geez... is this what kids do these days? Learn all of these hard spells?" I was being pushed back! I couldn't get a proper grip! Energy doesn't have a default shape of mass, so it can change shape, making this harder for me. A dark spark of lightning shot out and shattered my helmet into pieces.

"Die! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!" the kid kept on shouting. Break was watching with envy. She probably wants me dead to. I turned my body towards the portal. If I destroy it, they can't regenerate any more. But if I let go, this mass of energy will explode.

"*sigh* I'm going to hate this." I told myself as I started running backwards. Steel laughed and closed his hands together. He had remote control over it! My hopes were washed away as it blew up in my arms, sending me flying into the structure of the portal. Luckily I destroyed it (with my back) but the pain that filled my body was intolerable. Most of my armor was gone! It dissolved somehow!

"Not bad Steel." Ben said walking up to him. "Not bad at all."

"It's not over yet." I told him as I struggled to get up. Dancing and Singing both attacked, but in my sudden rage, I transformed my arms into blades and hacked them up before they even touched me. This time they didn't come back. "You... have... REALLY pissed me off Benjamin."

"Big talk from the man who has to stitch himself back together."

"Big talk from the man whose ass I kicked thousands of years ago. Hey kid!" I said getting his attention. "I'm the guy who killed your mom and dad! I had a good reason and here you are following in their evil footsteps! Do you know what that means?"

"No!" he shouted to me.

"It means I have to stop you too. Even if your a child. Sorry." this made Iron stand down.

"He's lying! Don't listen to him darling!" Break yelled while charging a spell in her hands. I re-summoned my armor, in a fully repaired state (scratches and chips were still visible) I kept the helmet unfolded, for I wanted to look upon him with my own two eyes. (Actually just one eye. My right one is robotic. Lost it in an arrow fight with Samael. Demon general. Bribed me with Twilight frozen in an amber crystal. It was mostly true, except the whole comatose thing where if I take her out of the crystal, she'll be vulnerable to outside stimuli and die immediately... let's just go back to the fight for now.)

"Your first..." I told her as I popped my neck and turned my arms back to normal. I popped my fist as she fired the biggest ball of force energy she could muster. I gave it one good punch sending it back too her and knocking her off the cliff. "..to feel the force..."

"Your dead!" Iron shouted while jumping in the air.

"...of a saint." I stretched my arm into his stomach as I lifted him higher to the air. I stretched my hand out as a cross, ripping him to shreds, When I folded my hand, his limbs fell to the ground, sprinkling his blood over the land. "Awwww... yuck."

"You monster!" the kid shouted charging another spell up. I expected one like before but was instead surprised when he threw a light spell into my face. I put the helmet on quickly and caught his arm as he went to stab me with a knife.

"Not bad at all child."

"Don't call me child! You'll regret ever missing with me!"

"You missed with me. And the townspeople."

"I was the one that killed them! You should have seen it!" his eyes didn't lie. The heartless expression that filled his face, that gave him a crooked grin, that showcased an evil unlike any other... and this was all in a child. There was no guilt to be shown upon him either. He was satisfied with his actions. I remember back when I first saw him in Equestria, a sweet lad, but now... just seeing this... I know just how much of this is my fault. I did this to a child. I am my own monster.

"Why?"

"Hmm?"

"Why have you done this? Did you expect a reward?"

"I want you dead! Isn't it obvious? Our worlds and everything inside them would be better off without you! Why can't you just let me kill you?"

"...Sorry. I don't do request."

"GGGGRRRRAAAAAAHHHH!" He screamed as he made himself glow red. I backed off, knowing what was too come. He has too much energy inside him...

"Steel! You need to stop this fight now!"

"Not until you pay for what you've done!"

"Is it that Knightly girl that you liked? She's over in Canterlot!"

"You don't understand a thing do you!"

"No you don't! Your overloading! If you don't stop, you'll kill yourself."

"...What?" he didn't know but it was too late. He exploded. Right in front of me. I felt my legs get lifted and my body fall down the mountain. I was unconscious. Little did I know that I'd be knocked out for a while. When I opened my eyes, the room I was inside was dark and lifeless. The smell of flesh, death, gunpowder, grease, and oddly dry-erase markers filled the air.

"Hello Grimm." Break said cutting on the lights. Everyone I just tried to fight was back! Singing, Dancing, even Ben! All unscathed! I saw I was tied to a buttress with hooks in my spine and hands.

"Whose leading you?" then I heard a faint clapping. I saw Discord and Lucy walk through the crowd. "...Of course."

"What did you expect Pain? You've been nothing but a threat to me everywhere I go!" Lucy said punching me in the mouth. I felt the blood fill my mouth. "Every war, every battle, every time we planned, you were there to ruin it."

"..."

"Nothing to say eh?" Discord asked while looking at me. "This will make you talk." he pulled out a small bag. Inside was an object the size of a small melon. "And I regretted doing this. You forced my hand Saint." he said tossing it at me and opening it.

"NOOOOO! NO NO NO NO NO!" I felt my stomach churn as I turned over and puked. "Damn you." I choked out. I looked down at the head of Twilight Sparkle, making full eye contact with her. I looked to my right to see the same amber crystal she was being kept alive inside of. She was gone. 2,000 years for this.

"You will die finally." Dancing said while leaning against the wall. "I've waited a long time to see this."

"You won't go back to heaven Grimm." Lucy said while crouching in front of me. "When we're done, you'll be gone forever."

"...You think this scares me?" I asked her. "You just took away the only thing I had to look forward too. You expect me to just beg for death?"

"No." she said pulling my hands down and ripping the hooks out of them. I groaned in pain as the Blade brothers ripped the hooks from my spine (at once) and threw me into the wall.

"You killed me first." Singing said while stabbing me in the gut along with his older brother. The pain was bearable, but only because I was use to it. They made sure not to cut my arteries or organs. Then Break and Iron came out and started torturing me. They used Twilight's head as a play thing, cut along my body, they even took a hammer and chisel to my teeth.

"Can I go?" Steel asked looking at his dad. Ben looked at Hard, who shrugged, and then back to his son.

"Of course you can."

"Hey mister." the boy said getting my attention. "It was fun killing you."

"Fuck off kid..." He grabbed the large cleaver and cut both of my legs (from the knees down) off. I didn't shed a tear. Not a single one out of pain. I only cried when I saw Twilight's head. I couldn't believe what was happening. Then after a while, everyone stood back and watched as Lucy walked towards me.

"I've always wanted to do this." she said pursing her lips against mine. I was too weak to resist any more. I tried to talk to her, but I knew she wouldn't listen to me. "Do you have something to say?" she said while grabbing my tongue with hers. She put her teeth on it and ripped the muscle from my mouth. I put my hand to my mouth to stop the bleeding, but their was too much blood.

"Look at you!" Discord said while jumping up and down. "Your going to die like a dog!"

"Eeerrrrhhh..."

"Do you have something to say?" I looked at him with the coldest eyes I had ever used. Pure hate was shown in my eyes. I gave him the middle finger with my right hand, while keeping a smile on my face. "How immature. Oh well. Too bad. It was fun while it lasted O'Schavver." he said raising an axe in the air.

...

...

...CHOP!

I couldn't see. I was still alive. But I wasn't. No I was dead. God even warned me about dying one more time. It was over. No Twilight... no peaceful life... and no more me. No one would know about me. I was just killed in someone's basement for crying out loud. I was hated by heaven. Hunted by hell. That was my life. Now these savages are out and free, and no one's going to stop them.

I was able to use my eyes one more time. To see all the faces of the men (and women) who killed me. Discord kicked Twilight's head beside me. Her beautiful face stained by my blood. Her eyes closed. A heartwarming smile on her face. I gave myself a little smile and closed my eyes slowly. This is my time... probably.

Then I felt something. I felt something beating. Was it my brain?... no... It was a heart. God... am I tired. I can't remember a thing... *yawn* Jeez I haven't slept that good in a while. Wasn't mom suppose to get me up around now?

"Dawn!" Mom yelled while knocking on the door. "Get up sweetheart!"

"Mmmm..." I mumbled sitting up. She stood over at the open door with her tail and ears showing. "Why didn't my clock go off?" I asked grabbing the alarm clock. It went off the second I picked it up scaring me.

"*giggle* You need to get dressed sweetie. You know what today is."

"...Already? I thought it was tomorrow..."

"I know sweetie. Go say goodbye to your friends. Okay?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good girl. I made you breakfast... What's wrong?"

"I just had the oddest dream of my life."

"What was it about?"

"...You know... I can't remember now."

"Hahaha... it's like that with all good dreams." she said walking to my dresser and grabbing a pair of leggings and a skirt out. "Now I know how you don't want to move..." she threw a small sweater on the bed.

"Of course I don't!"

"But Everfree Fields is the only place where we are safe sweetie."

"I know... but it's not always fair."

"I know... but that's life. Life is never fair, so you have to kick life's ass and work for it!"

"*giggle*"

"That's the cute laugh I want to hear. Come on and get up already!" she said pulling me out of bed. She grabbed a brush and started working on my hair and wolf ears. I got dressed and went to grab some breakfast off the table before I ran into my dad.

"Hi dad!"

"Where do you think you're going young lady?"

"To...see my friends?"

"You mean to tell me you were going to leave without giving your old man a hug and kiss?"

"Never on my life!" I told him as I jumped up and kissed him on the cheek while I hugged him around his neck. He laughed and swung me in circles (he's that big!)

"Be off now Dawn. It's going to be a fascinating trip."

"What time do we leave?"

"In 3 hours. We're still packing up. Now have a good day."

"Okay. Bye dad!" I said as I put my hat and scarf on. My family had finally found a place to live peacefully. A land where anamorphic beings can live happily together. People here still don't trust us. Don't blame them really. If someone feared you, they'd hate you right? So you'd hate them back. That's the pain that always follows us.

I walked down the hill, getting my bearings straight, as I made a few more quick memories about everything around me. I'd go to my friends and say goodbye. They would always say "Be sure to come back now!" and I would say "Of course!".... that was always a lie. We would never come back. I played with my light brown hair as I sat on the park bench waiting for my friends to come and see me.

"Dawn!" Malcolm said while walking with a small group of other friends, including Julia, Alethea, and James. I smiled and hugged them like always. We would sit, and chat like nothing was up. After an hour went by, Alethea asked that one dreaded question...

"When do you leave?" she said bluntly.

"A few hours. I'll go back soon and pack up."

"So how much longer do we have?" Julia asked.

"...A half-hour." I said trying to put some space between the question. I just had this massive headache! Like my head was cut off or something. I don't know. Then again I probably stayed up too late studying again. Mom said something about a new school for magic (a family secret) and something about Canterlot, I don't know. I was half-awake when they told me.

"So now what?" Malcolm asked while checking his phone. "I only have 5 minutes to spare."

"KFC?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I have to work."

"I got to leave too." James said picking up his skateboard. "My band's got a sweet gig."

"And I have to pick up Emera from school!" Alethea said while standing up. We all hugged and said goodbye, but not before they shouted "Be sure to come back now!"... God I felt awful lying to them.

"I will!" I shouted back. "So Julia... just you and me?"

"Actually I'm going to leave."

"Bu...wha?"

"I'm not good with goodbyes." she said standing up. I saw her run around a building, the same one James went behind. You know how this kind of thing works out, you have a crush on the boy, he doesn't return those feelings, yet wants to use you to get to the other girl, crushing your heart. I hate high-school dating, just right down to it's core.

"And I'm left to myself." I told myself as I walked home. I felt the chili-wind and the orange leaves fly by. None of them knew about my wolf traits. They just thought I liked wearing loose, baggy clothes and hats all the time. I always received insults and had rumors start because of it.

"I hear she's bald!" someone would say. "She has lice!' another would speak. One time, a bully named Patrick, came to me when I was alone and knocked my hat off. He jumped and screamed and I kicked his ass warning him to never speak of this again. I mean right now I can wear leggings, but I need a skirt for my tail first. I wanted to cry, seeing as my 'friends' were so quick to see me off.

"Hi sweetie." My mom said as I walked in. "How was it?"

"Okay."

"Just okay?"

"...They weren't really... sad... to see me leave."

"Ohh... Pfft... yeah I had that problem too." Dad said looking over his mug of coffee. "*sigh* Fuck 'em I say."

"Edward!"

"What?"

"...No wait... actually you're right."

"See?" I shrugged my shoulders and headed too my room. I packed everything I had, clothes, books, collectables, etc. I put everything inside of the U-Haul truck and after an hour, we left. We decided to leave early, before traffic hits.

Dustin's POV

'See you then Twi.' I text-ed to Twilight. We had a week long break from school (Sophomores blew up the roof in the Gym) and Twilight's family went to the beach. I looked outside, down the hill, at the man in the business suit pulling the 'House for Sale' sign from the ground. The new family was moving in.

"So whose moving here?" Lilith asked mom.

"The Lupus's. I think they'll fit in just right here."

"Why is that?" Cody asked.

"They're like us."

"I can see them now!" Jerad said happily while looking out the window. We all stayed back and snickered because Jerad's...a homo. No joke. And mom always thinks he's joking. She'll yell at him and we just laugh! He's only 11! Hahahaha!

"Hmm..." Dad moaned as he saw the father walk out. "He's bigger than me. I can take him!" he said while popping his knuckles.

"Jay... down boy." Mom said while sitting him down.

"Yes dear." We watched the man go inside the house with a woman who we assumed to be the mom. She looked really young. I still heard another door closing. I could also see a tail wagging from behind the U-Haul. Jerad's eyes didn't lose focus. Then the figure moved back showing a beautiful young girl. His little ears fell... and he cried... and..."Hehehehe...HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I can't finish making fun of him! "Hahahaha... Ohhhh my god."

"It's not funny!" he yelled out of spite.

"Jerad stop with the gay game." Mom said while messing with his hair. "Now go get dressed. We have to say hello to the new neighbors."

I grabbed my vest and headed out with Lilith before the others. We said hello to the dad and helped take in the boxes. There weren't that many. If my imagination still proceeds me, then this isn't the first time they've moved. But sometimes I think too much.

"I don't think this is the first time they've moved." Lilith said while handing me a box.

"I agree. We had the same experience."

"When did we move here?"

"...We were around 11, so 6 years or so."

"Amazing how time flies by, isn't it?"

"Yeah, and you don't realize it until you experience what we've experienced." We both walked to the door which closed behind us, and were unable to open so we tried knocking on it. "Hello! Can you get the door?" No answer. "*sigh* Time for the old fashioned way..." I said as I pulled my tail out of my pants and turned the knob with it. As soon as I did, the dad opened the door.

"You!"

"Gah!" I jumped back due to fear.

"You're just like us... I knew this place was perfect!" he said happily while hugging both of us. Lilith gave me the 'He's a total nutjob' look. I gave her my 'I know, but he's pretty cool' look. She confused it with my 'Wash my back?' look.

"Why?" she mouthed.

"He's hugging us."

"Oh! I thought you wanted soap."

"Nope." Ed let go of us and helped us put the boxes in. "Thanks for the help!" the rest of my family walked down. "So is this your family?"

"Yes sir." we both told him. My mom was the first the greet them, then Cody, Jerad, and my dad. My dad had a full on connection with Edward.

"Jay?" he asked.

"Ed?"

"No way man! It is you!"

"How's it going bro?" they said while hugging each other. Okay so obviously long-time friends. As if this couldn't get any more awkward, they pulled all of us into a hug.

"Dustin, go help out Dawn with her stuff. Lilith, help out Wanda (Ed's wife) and Cody I want you to stay here." Of course he wants Cody to stay here. He's the oldest and dad is more proud of him than us.

"What about me?" Jerad asked.

"...Go...help Lilith." he said with a fake smile. I chuckled a little as I watched him walk away. I did what my dad told me to do and picked up the boxes with 'Dawn' on it and carried them up the stairs. Then she came out and helped me.

"Hello!" I told her.

"Hi! I'm Dawn, if you can't read on the box."

"I'm Dustin, and I would have never guessed your name."

"*giggle* Come on in." she held the door for me as I walked inside. Her room was bigger and more spacious than mine. But that's because she's a girl and girls need more space. (Don't believe me? Twilight takes up almost all the dressers!) I put the boxes down and scratched the thick hairs below my chin. "Can you help me unpack?"

"Sure." I told her as I opened a box. She actually didn't have that many clothes. Still I had to keep a blush in check due to the fact that I opened her underwear box.

"Oh sorry!" she said taking it away from me.

"No no... it's my bad. I probably should have read the tag on the side." Smooth. Real smooth Dustin. You get a new neighbor and the first thing you do is embarrass her.

"Hey Dustin!" Pinkie said while jumping up to the window.

"GAH!" I jumped back. "Pinkie how'd you do that?!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's a two story window!" I looked outside and didn't see a trampoline or pogo-stick.

"Random." Dawn said to herself while continuing to unpack. What she lacked in looks (B-cup) she made up for in raw beauty. Each time I looked at her, I made contact with her red eyes. Oh well. I refuse to get THAT close to her. Twilight's all I need. Still I feel like I know this girl... just something about those eyes. "Hey Dustin. Can you hand me the small red chest in the box by the door?"

"Yeah." I walked over to the box she mentioned and opened it to find her collectibles. Pictures, boxes, gems, even a laminated clover. I held up on picture to see her standing with 4 other people and another picture with her standing with 3 totally different people. "Have you moved a lot?" I asked her.

"Yeah I have. Those were my friends."

"...Have you heard from them any?" Pinkie asked.

"No. They've probably forgotten me actually!" she said with a tone of truthfulness in her voice.

"I'm sorry." I told her. "Well hopefully you won't have to move anymore! You'll make new friends like me and Pinkie Pie here and fit right on in."

"OH hey! I know what will cheer you up!" Pinkie said.

"Oh no..."

"A party!"

"...Uhhhh..." Dawn was just as confused as me with my first party.

"I'll go get everything right now!" she said running downstairs.

"...Who are you?" I heard Ed say downstairs. Now she's done it. I sent Niko a text to hop by here and say hello but he was busy with Frost.

"Oh here." I handed her the red chest. "Sorry, I kinda spaced out."

"It's okay dude." she said putting it in one of her drawers. I continued to help her out until it got late at night. "*yawn* Man...it's been a long day."

"Where'd you move from?"

"Ohio."

"Jeez that's a long trip. I'm sure you must be tired. Don't worry I have a week to hang with you, so I'll show you the best places around here."

"A week?"

"I have to go back to school."

"Is it the magic boarding school?"

"Yeah."

"I'm suppose to enroll there soon. Mom's being all 'Dawn you need to learn everything about your magic!' and what not."

"Sweet! You'll make a lot of friends there, trust me, I already have."

"Awesome!"

"Anyways, I'm sure you want some sleep."

"I kinda do. Hehehe... see you tomorrow."

"Alright. Bye!" I walked downstairs to see Pinkie setting up a party. "Pinkie do that tomorrow."

"But I can't wait!"

"...Then continue." I walked outside. I definitely didn't want a pinkie party right now. Actually I was curious about that girl. I really feel like I have a connection with her but just what is it? Dawn Lupus huh? Their is a dark secret hiding around her, but what? Why can't I figure it out? Oh well... maybe if I get some sleep I'll forget about it.

Back in Canterlot...

"Where the hell is he?" David yelled while scratching his head.

"I don't know Master David." Joe said while looking at him. "I'm suppose to take the role of Murphy O'Schavver until Master Grimm returns."

"But he's not back yet!" I told him.

"Relax dear sister." Celestia told me. "When did he say he'd be back?"

"3 days!"

"It's been 5 now Tia." David said. "I'm really getting worried."

"He went on some angel business."

"Why the hell didn't he tell me?" David yelled.

"Calm down David." I told him.

"Look, I'll trace down where he went and find him. I'll be back girls." He said flying out the window.

"Good luck!" we both called out to him. I know David will find him. I just hope that Grimm's okay...

Oh my god... it took so long to just write this story. No really! It was hard to come up with the idea, but I figured out that Grimm needed to go again. I can start a new story arc and work my way from there. Also I read a belief that some people are actually living multiple lives at once and don't really know it. So Grimm's other life was in Dawn. I think that was actually a pretty cool idea on my part.

Another problem I have is trying to get Elizabeth and her friends back in the story. I'm going to have to write a chapter just about them at some point in time. Well that's just about it for the story. I just got back from Canada, which was an awesome trip. Somehow I ended up losing 30 pounds and now my muscles are showing again. Also BORDERLANDS 2! Oh man that game was just amazing... down to the very core.

I'm still like a level 36 Siren. Just now beat the game. I'm not going to spoil the ending. Also I'm stuck thinking about which game to get next. Dishonored or Resident Evil 6. Probably going to be the first one. Also I'm going to move to North Carolina (permanently) with a friend of mine in about 2 to 4 years. He wants to do Machinima videos and says they we'd be the next best thing.

I doubt it, seeing how it's like 3 years in the future, but we'll see how it goes. And no I haven't given up on the story! I just needed a long break, that's all. ~Static Wielder.
