The night was bright. I flew across the cold sky looking for the man known as Grimm Reaper. I couldn't find him anywhere. I even went to heaven to find a mission report about where he went and no one wanted to help me! I swear on my life that the angels up their just want us both dead because we're humans.

I traced his energy to Germany. The Alps to be exact. I found a large crater, emitting smoke fumes, which seemed relatively new. Blood decorated a majority of the trees that we're knocked over. I landed at the bottom and found drag marks. I followed them to a metal workhouse. The door was heavily locked and I knew someone was inside. I closed my eyes and used my vision powers to see what was happening.

Inside I saw a group... of people I think I know. I recognized Lucy and I instantly recognized Cold Iron and Discord. They were circling a body... wearing tattered clothes, chunks of armor, and blood soaking the floor. Fear and curiosity got to me as I feared that the body belonged to the person I was looking for. All I can do, sadly, is eavesdrop.

"...Man." I heard Iron say as he crouched. "Even in death he still fights."

"I feel awful." I heard a woman that sounded like Hard Break say.

"But we wanted him dead right?" the child said.

"You can't tell me that your second thinking this Benjamin." I heard Discord say while kicking the body. "We all wanted him dead and he deserves it!"

"I don't think he did." Iron said. "Sure he fought us, but that's his job. He wanted to defend this world."

"He cost us Earth and Equestria! Both of our worlds!" Discord yelled back to him.

"I know! But you know he didn't mean it! Just think about it for a moment you brute! We just killed a Saint! What seemed like hours in that portal was 2,000 years for him!"

"But he stopped all of my progress!" Lucy said. "Is it too much to ask to take over a world?"

"I rather enjoyed it." I heard one of the large twins holding swords say.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold." The other twin said.

Just then the lights started to flicker. The room temperature seemed to drop and the people inside started to panic.

Break's POV

"I knew this was a bad idea!" I shouted to the others hoping to get my thoughts to them. None of them responded. I heard the clanging sound of metal, a rod of some kind, against the ground. I turned to see I was in a giant foggy area, not in the shed anymore. I turned around to see a lone figure. "Hello?" I shouted.

"Hello?" was the echo of my voice.

"Ben? Steel? Discord?"

"Ben? Steel? Discord?"

"Who are you?"

"..." There was no echo this time. The rod I was hearing turned out to be a scythe. The figure walked up in dismantled armor and bloodstained clothes. His face completely bloodied and his smile large with jagged teeth, like a shark.

"Grimm?"

"Yes..." he walked up to me closer. His skin pale, his eyes blood red. This wasn't the same man we just murdered, the one who was always good and happy. He was now dead and angry. I went to punch him and I felt his hand grab onto my arm and snap it back, sending the bone out of it's socket.

I screamed. I screamed as loud as I could. Hoping somebody would help me. The dead Saint reached over and picked me up, giving me a close up to his face. He used his jagged teeth to grab onto my face and rip the flesh from my face. I continued to scream and scream as he laughed maniacally to the sky above.

"Hey! It's okay!" I heard as I felt myself being shaken. I realized I was dreaming and everyone passed out, except Ben who was helping me up.

"Benjamin?"

"It's okay honey. I just had the nightmare too..."

"What have we done!"

"We doomed him and ourselves..." He looked over at Twilight Sparkle's head and pointed to it. "We took things to far! He spent the past 2,000 years trying to save her and we just killed her. Now he's going to haunt us... eternally... for our crimes."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" we both jumped at the crazed laughter. I saw the lifeless corpse starting to move so I grab one of the swords from Singing and started chopping away at him to make him stop laughing.

"Shut up! Just shut it!"

David's POV

"Good God..." I said cutting of my vision powers.

"Tell me about it." said Grimm beside me. He was a transparent being. "They did it, they broke my spirit... they killed Twilight David."

"Grimm I'm so sorry."

"Thanks. Look this was the last time I was aloud to die... so I want to say thanks for being a good friend."

"Oh please don't say it!"

"I have to. Take this." he said handing me a hard drive. "Plug this into Joe, it's an adaptive memory core with a copy of my brain in it. Don't tell anybody that I died, not the girls, not the King, nobody."

"But what about heaven?"

"The only bastards up there that cared was God and Death, so fuck 'em."

"...Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's in a recording in my helmet. Here." he said handing me his famous helmet. The orange eyes shinned brightly and the metal horns gleamed peacefully in the stars. "Take it. It's better than yours."

"I'll miss you brother."

"Same here brother." He disappeared and I felt my eyes go water. I cried silently to myself and began to fly. I equipped Grimm's helmet and found the recording he was talking about.

"Log# 278. I received a mission, to go to Pandora, and find the portal to hell. Lucy is using it to summon the dead. I have a bad feeling about this... like it may be my last. I haven't felt like this since the duel with Samael and when I found Twilight frozen in amber.

I agreed with myself as to not take David with me. If this mission goes bad, and they always do, I might die again. I am not allowed to die again, or it will be the end of me. David is happy and peaceful with Celestia and Luna around. I don't want to take that away again. If I do... Ahhh it won't happen again. I'm making sure of it.

Also Luna's feeling for me are becoming increasingly obvious. I can't return her feelings, and I probably never will. Not when Twilight's out there somewhere. Still David might do the thing where he married both of the sisters again! Oh now that was awesome on his part! *sigh* I leave tomorrow. David if you get this... I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

God dammit...

Back in E. Fields...

I awoke on the Monday morning, stretching my back and tail from it's curled up position. I just realized how hard it is to sleep by yourself when you've slept with Twilight for so long. I opened the window to my room, letting fresh air in, as I stood there half-asleep.

"Hey Dusty!" Pinkie said hopping up. I wasn't scared due to the fact that I was half-asleep.

"'Sup."

"You missed the great party!"

"Oh yeah... sorry 'bout that."

"Well...okay then. I actually wanted to ask of you a favor."

"WHAT?" Pinkie asking for a favor?! Oh god oh god...

"Well Dashie's B-day is coming around the corner. I was hoping you could help set up a date! She'd expect me to do something so this year I'm trying something new! Will you help me?"

"...What time?"

"Tonight at 7."

"Alright. I'll try."

"Thanks!" she said hugging me and doing a backflip out of the window. She disappeared before I stuck my head out looking for her. I turned around and got dressed before I walked down and cooked some eggs and toast. I made a quick sandwich with them and grabbed my brown flight jacket before I left. I hated how at the school I always had to wear that damned uniform, even in winter.

"Where are you going?" Jerad asked. I didn't see him on the porch.

"Going to see Dawn. I promised to show her around the place."

"I know what your going to do!"

"...You do?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay. Tell mom and dad for me." I heard the conversation as I left.

"Mom! Dad!" Jerad called out. "Dustin's going to have sex with Dawn!"

"That's my boy!" I heard my dad say.

"He's already dating somebody Jay!" said mom.

"He's going to become a true man now." *smack* "Ow-how-ow...hahahaha!"

"I'm not cheating on her!" I shouted back.

"That's my son." I heard mom say. She likes honest, true men. "You could learn something from that Jay."

"But you're all I need." Oh ew... my parents are going to fuck now. I took my fake ears off, stuffed them in my pockets, and let my true ears and tail hang out as I walked with my hands in my pocket. It always felt good to walk around like this.

"Hey!" I heard Niko say while jogging up to me. "How's it going man?"

"Oh not bad."

"Going to see the new girl?"

"I'm going to show her around the place. She's are age. She's going to be going to our school! You should come, introduce yourself, and be friends. She really needs some friends."

"Why?"

"...She just moved for like the fifth time dude."

"Oh... ouch. Yeah I know that feeling. Alright! I'll bring Frost and meet you at the Adam's tree."

"Alright." He ran off and a leaf smacked me in the face. I just now noticed how cold it was. But seeing as how I'm not wearing that school jacket, I'm much warmer. I think Celestia should give guys winter clothes, not just girls. You can't really develop an immune system if you die of pneumonia.

I approached the Lupus house and opened the door to see the aftermath of Pinkie's party. Both of the parents we're on the couch, asleep, while hungover. Who ever gave Pinkie the authorization to use alcohol is a madman. I walked upstairs and found Dawn's door closed. I went to knock on it when the door opened up.

"Hello!" she said happily. A long red scarf was worn around her neck and she seemed happy and spunky in her black and blue dress. "Thanks for agreeing to show me around."

"Oh no prob."

"Total prob. My parents are both knocked out because of that Pinkie girl."

"Yeah that happens on your first party. Leave now before they wake up and start making out."

"What?"

"Another... aftermath... from one of her parties." I said as we walked out of the house. "Welcome to Everfree Fields! The nicest place in this world full of hate!"

"I've never heard a description like that."

"I've moved around a lot too. First born in Ireland, then we went to Scotland, now here."

"I was born in Canada, then I went to Nevada, then Guam for a while, then Ohio, and now here." I called it. She moved 5 times. Just like I told Niko.

"Guam? Jerad was born there."

"But you weren't there?"

"I was in a Christian border school in Scotland. Hated it."

"Are you religious?"

"I'm more of a self-religion kind of guy. The bright side of that school, I have someone to blame all of my pain on."

"Was it that bad?"

"Here's a tip of advice. Nuns. When you become use to their rulers, they start using pipes and cricket bats."

"So...?"

"So don't ever piss of nuns."

"You don't really seem the rebellious type."

"I grew out of it quicker than I wanted too. I'm the only member in my family who can use magic. The priest thought I was cursed and made my parents send me to school. They realized they were wrong, paid us 7 billion dollars to keep our mouths shut, and wished us away."

"And it worked?"

"Apparently. I'm still sending death threats and they send us money from time to time. It all works out."

"So you're stealing money from the church?"

"No I earned that money." We walked to the edge of town, where the wheat fields are. "Here's the wheat fields, where many people here make a profit."

"Oh so you make bread?"

"Many people here do. This is the greatest wheat in the world. At least that's what the packaging says."

"Is that an apple tree?" she asked pointing to the lone tree in the field.

"That's the Adam's tree. Yeah it grows apples. We call it that because Apple Adams planted that tree here, and died under it. He's buried underneath it."

"That's grim."

"It was his wish. This is actually a magic tree. Go ahead and pluck an apple." I told her as I sat on one of the roots which grew out and formed a bench.

"Wow! I love apples! This is the best one I've ever tasted!"

"Now look up..." she did so and saw the apple regrow instantly on the tree, fresh and ready for plucking.

"You don't mean to tell me..."

"That most of us live off apples? No, just us kids."

"I love this place already!" she said happily taking another bite from the fruit. I looked around me to find Niko and Frost but they were no where to be seen. I looked over to see that Dawn had already started eating apple #3... Damn.

"So... tell me Dustin. What kind of magic can you control?"

"Illusion. I control the shadows."

"That sounds like fun."

"It is. Get's a little lonely from time to time. But Twilight's always there for me."

"Twilight?"

"Girlfriend."

"Is she able to use magic as well?" I'm happy that she's not saying anything like 'Oh...' or 'Really?!'.

"Oh yeah. She's actually Princess Celestia's personal student."

"...That sounds difficult."

"I imagine. But she's practically a genius."

"Oh! So you don't have to do all the work?"

"Hahahaha! That's one way to look at it!"

"*giggle*" Why does every girl I know giggle? Is it because I'm only friends with the cute ones? I've never heard Rainbow giggle... oh wait... yeah I have. When Soarin' talked to her. Oh her face was priceless! What was it even about? Oh yeah... flashback time!

'Hey Rainbow!' said the handsome guy behind her in class.

'Soarin'?"

'I need to ask you something.'

'Anything!'

'Will you-'

'Yes!'

'...Grab me a napkin? *ACHOO!*'

'Hehehehehehehehehehe...'

'Shut it Dustin!" she shouted to her right at me. I was laughing with my head down on the desk.

"Are you okay?" Dawn asked me.

"Yeah... I was just thinking back to something funny."

"What was it?"

"Oh just two people I know. Rainbow Dash and Soarin'-"

"The Wonder-bolt guy?"

"You know him?"

"Yeah. Total slob."

"Hehehe... yeah. Well Rainbow is the biggest Wonder-bolt fan out there, and he got her attention and she thought he was going to do something romantic, but instead he asked for a tissue and sneezed on her. Oh man that was so funny..."

"He was at my school when I was in Nevada. Total showoff. He would fly around all day and harass me. Fucking hated him."

"He's not like that now."

"Probably because I beat some sense into him. Then his friend... oh what was her name?"

"Spitfire?"

"Slicked back orange hair?" I nodded my head for yes. "That's the one. So she ended up trying to fight me, I won, most of the kids saw my secret, the wolf ears, and they all tried to kill me."

"That's never happened to me."

"They thought I was a monster. My mom used a forget spell and we moved as soon as possible."

"Guam?"

"We figured if we moved to a place where they wouldn't find us for a while, then they wouldn't look for us anymore. Sure enough it worked."

"Hey guys!" Niko said walking up. He walked over with Frost and shook hands with Dawn. "Nice to meet you, I'm Niko. This is Frost."

"Hi!" Frost commented.

"Dawn. Nice to meet you too Niko."

"I see you met my best bud Dusty." Dawn looked at me and I mouthed 'Best bud' while nodding my head.

"Did she already meet Pin-" I put my hand on Frost's mouth and looked all around.

"Yeah." I took my hand off.

"What?"

"She already threw a party." Dawn said.

"Oh not her." Niko said ducking behind the tree. "I'm not in the mood for Pinkie."

DUH NUH

"Did you hear that?" he said silently.

DUH NUH

"Yeah..."

DUH NUH NAH NUH NAH NUH NAH

"What's going on?" Frost asked.

"There!" I pointed to the wheat fields as a giant shark fin appeared.

"What is that?" Dawn asked.

"It's something we all regret. It's something we've all come to know and love. It's called a Pie Shark." I said walking close to the wheat. The JAWS music picking up beat by beat. "And it is the most dangerous-WHOA!" I felt myself get pulled inside of the wheat field.

"Oh Christ! Dustin!" Niko ran out and we was dragged inside as well.

"What do we do?" Dawn asked looking to her left. Frost was gone. "What the hell?! FROST!"

"Boo..." Pinkie said behind the wolf making her jump and scream. "*giggle* I got you!"

"Bu...What? What the...*pant* What happened?"

"We pranked you." I said walking out.

"Oh my... hahahahaha!" she laughed to herself as she put her hands to her face to hide her blush. I walked out with Niko and Frost and laughed along with all of them. "Did I tell you what kind of magic I'm capable of using?"

"No-WHOA!" I was hung upside down by a tree limb.

"I control my environment." She picked up the others and began to play with us like rag-dolls.

"What are you doing?" I asked as she made some wheat grow and move underneath my jacket. "NO! AHAHAHAHA! I'm being tentacle tickled! AAAHHHH HAHAHAHA!"

"Why are you so good at this?" Niko asked, not being tickled.

"Years of practice."

"I've always wanted tentacles in me..." Pinkie said. We all looked at her awkwardly. "What? Haven't we all?"

"No Pinkie...just...no!" Frost told her.

"I'm agreeing with Frost." I told her.

"I don't want to live on this planet any longer." Dawn said putting us down.

"I'm just kidding guys." Pinkie said.

"Uh huh."

"No seriously!"

"...Uh huh."

"Why don't you believe me?"

"I don't even know what to think anymore." Niko said.

"Are you being serious?" Pinkie shouted at us.

"I'm afraid so. I only have one thing to tell you Pinkie."

"What?"

"...Boop." I put my hand on her nose and ran back into the field.

"NNNNOOOOOO!!!" I heard behind me. "Dustin!" Oh I had better start running faster!

In Canterlot...

"What are you doing?"

"I'm fixing you up Joe!"

"Do you have authorization!"

"Sure I do..."

"What is it David?"

"001142-KISSMYASS!" I said while cutting him off and installing the new hard drive. He reactivated and yawned, odd for a robot to show feelings.

"David what the hell are you doing and why am I a robot?"

"Grimm!"

"Wait... don't answer that... I know why. I died didn't I?"

"Yeah."

"Well... fuck." he reached down and stuffed his hands in his pants. "But I still got a dick so we're good."

"It's like nothing ever happened."

"Actually... I'm not all completely here. You see, some very lucky people are actually living two or three lives at once."

"And...?"

"And I'm not Grimm. I can feel that the spirit in him as already moved on though. To his other life. From here on out, I'll just be a robot with a memory processor making me smarter than any human."

"Is their a down side?"

"Besides the added robotic strength, the enhanced memory, and the ability to never even have to think about eating, sleeping, or even stamina, then no. Oh! No magic. But that's okay. I liked punching things better."

"Glad to have you back."

"Same here." he said scratching his neck. "I'm already growing a beard..."

E. Fields...

"I have a headache..." I told myself as I put my hand to my head. I felt like a part of me just died.

"You okay?" Niko asked while walking up.

"Oh yeah. Just peachy."

"Are you sure?" Dawn asked.

"He said he was peachy." Frost said.

"It's sarcasm Frost."

"Ohhhh... I knew that."

"I feel like I just died, had my memory put on a disk or something, and get installed into a robot."

"That's oddly specific." Dawn said while looking observant.

"God you sound just like Twilight."

"I know what's wrong..." Pinkie said standing behind me. "You spent all night drinking again didn't you?"

"No-Errrmmmm..." I...just... puked in my mouth didn't I? Okay, turn your head to the right and puke off the cliff. "BEAAAGGGGHHH!" I did just what I commanded myself to do and puked into the river.

"Isn't that drinking water?" Dawn asked.

"It get's purified 15 times a day, so it'll be fine."

"Really?" Frost asked.

"BBBBLLLLLLEEEEAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!"

"He was being sarcastic again Frost." Niko said putting an arm around her.

"What the hell happened to my water?" we all heard up the stream. This water goes to the richer families across the cliff, up in the Moneybags Estate. It's where preppy bitches like that Tiara kid live. "Did the Shafer kid puke again?"

"I told him to stop drinking!"

"His father will hear from me!"

"Sue! Sue! Sue! Sue!" They started their chant. All they want to do is sue people, why? I dunno.

"I don't think it's vomit!" I heard one of them say. I snorted a loogie and spit it into the water. "...It's mucus. Sue! Sue! Sue!"

"What do we do?" Dawn asked.

"Just laugh. Oh keep your head down." Niko, Pinkie, Dawn, and Frost all hid in the wheat as I put my back against the tree. "Hello everybody!"

"What have you done this time you damned cat?!"

"Oh nothing. I just got into your saki reserve Mr. Spoon. That's some pretty strong stuff you got there."

"Men! Prepare you bags! Assault the child!" I put my arms in my face and felt myself get pelted with bags of money. They would do this every time I fucked with them. The most I made at one time was around 7,000 bucks, which I used to pay off the debts Sarah had. (Oldest sister.)

"Oooof!" I felt a large sack hit me in the chest where I wasn't expecting it to hit.

"That'll teach him! An extra dosage of money will keep the curious cat away!" they all walked away from their side of the chasm as I started to pant.

"Look at that! Twice as much than last time!"

"What just happened?" Dawn asked. "You're bleeding Dustin!"

"They pelt their enemies with money!" I said standing up and picking them up. "Sure it may hurt but it's worth it."

"Take a bag." Niko said.

"I don't know, isn't it stealing?" Dawn asked. God why is she so adorable?

"It's not stealing if they want you to take it." Pinkie said. Now if Pinkie can make sense, then you should believe her. That's something I learned a long time ago. I felt a bruise form on my chest but ignored it as I picked up the large sack of money. I'd say it would be enough to last me for the rest of school.

"It's almost dinner time." Dawn said looking at her phone timer. I left my left arm up and looked at my watch (I keep my watch on backwards so it's on my wrist.) and she was right. My dad would be mad if I didn't even come by for dinner. Niko, Frost, and Pinkie ran back home.

"You had better got on back Dawn. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be even better."

"Uh huh. And I'm sure watching you get pelted with money would make me feel better about tomorrow."

"Hey! Don't complain about it! There's probably 2,000 bucks in that bag, I know because I got hit by it!"

"I doubt it..." she opened it. "...Oh my god! You were right!"

"Shadow magic. I know everything about something as soon as it touches me."

"Everything?"

"Everything." she stood up. "See ya Dawn!"

"Okay! Be careful Dusty!"... she already called me by my nickname. That's good. It's a good sign. Well... time to feed the family.

"I'm home!" I yelled as I walked inside my house.

"Dustin Mark Shafer, what have you gotten into?" My mom asked.

"Saki."

"I'm telling you boy! Don't drink too much at night! A half a bottle at most. You hear me?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good. Supper's on the stove."

"I got you a present." I said handing her two sacks of money. I mean they threw at least 17 bags at me, and my friends only took one each, so that's 13 bags of money that I got to take home with me.

"It feels heavier than usual."

"Double dosage to keep the curious cat away." I told her making my mom chuckle a little. She took off my jacket and motioned for me to go sit at the table. I sat down and threw my siblings two bags each and I tossed two at my dad. I kept the heavy 3 for Twilight and I in my cargo pants pocket.

"When will you teach me to rob the rich?" Jerad asked.

"Jerad... hopefully you won't have too." I told him as I put my hand in my mouth and pulled out my back tooth. "Ah... bastards."

"Oh suck it up." Lilith said patting me on the back.

"They wouldn't throw money at you Lily, You're too adorable!"

"True, what did you do this time?"

"I puked in their water. Again."

"Bah! Child's play! I'll show you how its done!"

"Jay sit down right now!" Mom yelled while pulling out her fish from the oven.

"Yes Debbie."

"Thank you. You can harass those rich douches after dinner."

"YAY!" My dad was a child at heart, much like me. It's not everyday, where we can gather around like a family, and enjoy our company. I'm gone for half of the year, my parents are at work, Cody is in the Marine Reserve, Lilith is home-schooled, and Jerad does whatever he wants. Which is apparently looking up boys on the internet.

"Thanks for supper mum, this is great."

"You're welcome baby. Now eat up."

"Hey Dustin!" Lilith said getting my attention. "Halloween's comin' up."

"Aye, that it is."

"Do you have an idea of what your going to be this year?"

"I'm thinking Bane from the Dark Knight Rises."

"That's stupid." Cody said.

"You may think this is stupid now, but tomorrow, your mind will change." I said in the Bane voice. I had it pretty much down but without the mask, so I was less scary.

"*sigh* I hated that movie."

"Are you kidding? That was the best movie!"

"Batman sucks."

"Batman rocks!"

"Boys..." Sarah said walking in the room.

"Sarah!"

"...Batman rocks Cody."

"You always side with Dustin!"

"It was a good movie!" she sat down beside him and mom made her a plate. "Thanks mum."

"You're welcome!"

"So how was Trenton?" I asked her while poking some fun with my fork.

"He's good."

"Was he just good? Or was he down right amazing?" Jerad asked.

"...Are you still playing the gay game?"

"Hahahahahahaha!" This time it was my dad who busted out laughing. "Oh it's fun having all of my children around the table at once."

"It's not funny!" Jerad demanded. We all fell silent and waited for a reason as to why it wasn't funny.

"...Well?" Lilith asked him.

"Well what?"

"Why isn't it funny?"

"Because relationships are serious!"

"I'm sure they are." Cody said. "I'll stick with Cindy at Hooters."

"Mmm.... you're mom is enough for me." Dad said putting his two cents in the table, earning a kiss on the cheek from my mom.

"Imagine if someone made fun of you for dating somebody else! Like Twilight!"

"What's wrong with Twilight?" I said while standing up and rolling my sleeves up. "I think she's awesome."

"Jerad, Twilight's basically a part of this family." Lilith said backing me up.

"I'm just saying... I don't think it's fair to pick on me for liking certain people."

"Your still a child." I said sitting down. "Don't go around, fucking girls left and right, and expecting it to not bite you in the ass in the future. Find the right person first, and trust me, it will take some time. But you have a long life ahead of you so don't be thinking about this kind of stuff yet."

"I don't want to fuck girls."

"Jerad quit pretending to be gay!" My mom shouted. I ended up laughing again at the blushing child down the table. Eventually, night fell and I went to bed. But not before I texted Twilight...

'Hey.'

'Hey. How's your day?'

'Pretty good. Had fun with the new girl, Dawn was her name, and Sarah came home.'

'Trenton issues?'

'Most likely.'

'We will be home sometime late tomorrow, then we can hang out.'

'Alright. I'm going to bed.'

'Me too. Goodnight.'

'Goodnight.'

Hmm... she didn't tell me how her day was. But it's too late for me to ask. So... I just put my phone on my nightstand and rolled over into my quilt and quickly fell asleep.

"Hey! Wake up sleepy head!" said Twilight above me. I was in a small beach house from the looks of things. "The kids are with their grandma so we have the whole day to ourselves!" she said as her black cat tail wagged in the air.

"I'm up, I'm up..."

"It's not every day you get to take a day off from duty."

"Yeah." Okay so the house was a lot bigger than I thought it was. It was the size of a mansion! This must be a dream... so I might as well enjoy it. I looked in the mirror to see I had long hair, which I kept brushed back, and an unconnected goatee. I looked like a younger Christian Bale! Either way, I was enjoying this.

"Do we have any plans for today?" she asked me.

"Well... I'm just thinking about you." I said putting my hands up and touching her cat ears. They felt soft and real, and I felt both of our tails tangle with each other. She turned around and we kissed.

"*giggle* I have an idea for today..."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I do..." she unbuttoned her shirt and looked me in the eyes. "I need you to wake up."

"...What?" I opened my eyes to see it was already six o'clock. That was the shortest dream of my life. Without a doubt. But hey! If I saw Twilight like that (she was even more adorable than ever before! Not even Fluttershy could be that cute! Okay actually that's a lie... and I don't think my heart could handle cuteness on that magnitude.) then maybe I've seen my entire future.

'Do you want to hang out?' Twilight's text read.

'Of course! Time and place?'

'My place, any time, now preferably...'

'See you in a bit.'

I got up, and grabbed a shower. I walked down the stairs when I was done and saw Lilith going through the TV channels with a bowl of cereal in her hands.

"Watcha doin'?"

"Finding something to watch. What are you doing?"

"Going to see Twilight."

"Tell her I said hi!"

"I will." I said while putting on my jacket. I walked out the door and walked down the road and along the main road till I made it to the very large house at the top of the hill.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"...Hello?"

"Hello."

"Hello!"

"Hello?"

"...Hello?"

"It's Dustin."

"How's it going champ?" said Twilight's dad as the door opened.

"Not bad Mr. Sparkle!" I was able to say before he hugged me.

"You've really matured Cat..." This was the only family I've met that was okay with the cat traits. "...I love you like a son."

"And I to you like a father."

"Well said. Come on in."

Meanwhile... in Heaven.

"H-he's dead?" Uriel, the angelic general asked. "YES!"

"Yeah he's dead. It's all of our faults." The angel army was silent as the 4 archangels moved to the microphone. Gabriel, the leader, was the one who began to speak.

"My angels, you have made a failure, and in your failure, the death of the greatest warrior our army has ever seen. You have all hated Grimm Reaper, treating him like some pathetic dog from the grounds of Earth. This man was better than all of you. Always compassionate and loyal to others... and when we gave a mission, one for you all to stop Lucifer from building a portal to the gates of Purgatory... you failed us."

"It's not our fault!" one of them cried. "He wasn't strong enough!" A few chuckles passed through them, then David walked up and punched him in the jaw, knocking most of his teeth out.

"YOU THINK IT'S FUCKING FUNNY!" he continued to punch until the angel's face was cut and completely blood-stained. "WE HUMANS HAVE DIED FOR EVERY SINGLE MOTHERFUCKING ONE OF YOU! YET YOU STAND HERE LAUGHING AT US IN OUR FUCKING FACES!"

"David calm down-"

"FUCK YOU! YOU HATED HIM MOST URIEL! THAT MAN DIED, HE DIED A HERO, AND YOU ALL STAND HERE AND LAUGH EVEN THOUGH IT WAS YOUR FUCKING FAULT!" David's voice filled the silent room. Even God was quiet. All the angels started to think about their actions. "All he wanted to do was protect our world... and none of you even care... that's it. I'm done with this. You can all fucking go to hell because that's where you belong!"

David marched out of the Hall of the Titans... where Grimm's corpse was being idolized. Every angel was now sad... sad because a human was right. They know that Grimm was a hero, but they had never been talked down like that before. This shall go unforgotten... down in history for all eternity. One man payed for a mistake by careless soldiers... the one man who saved us all...

Back on Earth...

"You came!" Twilight said while hugging me.

"Of course I did!" I embraced her hug and lifted her in the air. "Why wouldn't I?"

"*giggle*" she moved in and kissed me gently. "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, today we'll visit Dawn, you'll give her the whole 'friendship' speech, and we'll all go out for tea."

"Sounds like a plan."

"I hope." I turned around and came face to face with Shining Armor. "Shining!"

"Hey Dusty! How's it going man?" he asked pulling me in for a hug.

"Hahahaha! Pretty good!" I tried to get out of his arm-hold but he was bigger than me (No pun intended...and yes I mean sex pun.) Then a new girl walked out. She was tall and very beautiful. I recognized her from somewhere, but I couldn't put my finger on it. He hair was purple, pink, and yellow and her eyes were a light purple. "Good to meet you Ms.?"

"Princess Mi Amore Cadenza!" she smacked my hand down. "Don't touch me pheasant!" Ouch...

"I didn't mean any-"

"And just what kind of freakish nightmare of parents did you have to give birth to a freak? Cat ears and a tail? What in the world are you?"

"...Um... I..."

"You what? Cat got your tongue? Hahahahaha!" she walked away laughing. I turned around to see Twilight, who pulled my arm into a hug.

"Don't listen to her." she whispered. "Let's just leave."

"I'm so sorry about that Dusty!" Armor said as we walked down the stairs.

"No no... it's okay Shining, just... It's too early in the morning for this."

"You're okay with it?"

"All jokes aside, it takes about 2 weeks for a girl to hate me..."

"Hahahaha!"

"No seriously I'm fine. See ya."

"Alright. Take care of Twilly or I'll have your head!"... he meant that last part. Shining is the strongest guard in the Royal Army. He's their leader for God's sake! That's one of the 17 reasons I refuse to stop dating Twilight Sparkle. The others involve how much I love her, and how I couldn't live without her. There's also one about how I can't take care of myself... but that's the least important.

"What was up with that?" I asked Twilight as we walked outside. She was adjusting her light purple hoodie.

"I don't know... she's been mean for no reasons ever since I met her!"

"Still... that's pretty messed up Twilight."

"I know... I'm so sorry about her!"

"Why do I recognize her?"

"That was Cadence, my old babysitter."

"Aha! That's where it was! Wasn't she... you know... nicer?"

"She was! I swear she's nice! But I guess that happens to grown-ups..."

"I know you and I won't end up like that."

"*giggle* I'll try..."

"Me too..."

"I hope your joking."

"Me too..."

"...Wait... your not joking?"

"Yes I'm joking! Come on! Let's go met our new friend!" we walked down the hill with the leaves blowing past us and the rising sun dawning upon us. "Her name is Dawn, she's an anamorphic being as well."

"What kind?"

"Wolf I think..."

"She sounds nice."

"She is. She'll be going to our school!"

"A magic user?"

"She's a Shaper!"

"A shifter of the world? I've never met someone with that kind of magic before!"

"Well you will now!" The wind blew by us really hard this time and made us both close our eyes. Twilight hugged me for warmth. "This is romantic."

"It is..." she looked up at me with those sparkling eyes... which seemed to never stop radiating emotions of love and joy... so I put my hand to her chin... and pulled our faces together.

"Get a room!" someone said as they drove by us in a hummer. Damn jocks... they even had the insatiable 'Whoop!' while they drove.

"...Do you want to visit Dawn first?"

"She can wait!" I picked her back up for another kiss. We were both in the mood now.

"We can't just do it out here!"

"Of course we can't! It's too cold and indecent to do in public! We'll pick this up tonight."

"Sounds better than right now..." she lowered her head as the wind started to blow again. "Brrr... yeah tonight."

"Let's get to Dawn's before the wind picks up..."

"Yes please *achoo*"

"Come here." I pulled her closer and used my shadow magic to appear beside my house. "This will save us the 7 minute walk of chilly doom."

In Canterlot...

"Grimm you seem different." Luna asked.

"No I don't." he told them back while putting an Oreo in his mouth.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked them as I walked in.

"Mm... playing Connect 4."

"What?"

"With myself... so I always win."

"Why are you-"

"And lose."

"...Why are you playing this. Don't you have some business to take care of?"

"Ah yes! I forgot! Excuse me Luna, I must go on a delivery, see you in a bit!"

"He's changed." Luna said. "He's not ignoring me like he used to."

"Oh you know... near death experiences do that to you."

"I see... I will go cheer him up!" she stood up and ran into the next room.

"What are you doing?" I heard Grimm say.

"I'm going to comfort you." she responded.

"...Okay."

In Purgatory...

I sat at the table again, wearing the dress clothes and top hat, holding a cup of tea.

"This again?"

"Haven't you been paying attention?" God asked.

"I have. I'm watching it right now. I'm living 3 lives right now, even though the original me just bit the dust."

"How do you feel?"

"For a dead guy, surprisingly good."

"The other angels laughed at your death..."

"I believe that."

"...And David beat one of them near to death."

"Awww... I missed it."

"It was pretty nifty but still, you need to control his anger."

"You know how he's easily stressed."

"That's not the-"

"It is the point."

"...Very well. So what do you plan to do?"

"We besides sit here at this table and drink tea for the rest of time, I'm waiting on somebody."

"I know who. I'll be off now. See you soon."

"See ya!" he left through the door that said exit. Then a woman walked in. A white strip in her hair, and wearing a purple dress. "Hello Twilight!"

"Hello Grimm!" we reached over and hugged. "I'm not use to walking in heels."

"Neither am I. How's it going?"

"..."

"It's not your fault-"

"You spent all those years trying to find me! Now were both dead..." A tear fell from her eye.

"And we're together now!"

"But-"

"But nothing. We're going to be together in death, and not many couples get to do that!"

"Grimm..."

"It's okay Twilight. None of this is your fault. I died because I loved you and they knew it. They were monsters and used you against me."

"*sniff* Oh Celestia..." She put her head in her hands. I walked over and hugged her, and she immediately returned it. "I'm so sorry..."

"Don't be. Save your sorry for someone that needs it... because I've been waiting for this moment for 2,012 years."

"When do we move on?"

"Whenever you feel like it."

"...I just want to be with you."

"Me too." I leaned down and kissed her, and realized right there, that the past life and all of those years... were worth it.

Dustin's POV

"Dustin what's wrong?" Twilight asked me.

"I don't know... I just feel like crying..." I put my hand to my head. "Uggghh... I've been all sorts of jacked up this week."

"Is it something that Cadence said?"

"No...I mean I'm super happy right now! Maybe I'm just... crying because I'm with you."

"You're making me teary eyed!"

"Hahaha... sorry..." I stopped when I walked by Pal. "Hey! Sir Pounce-a-lot! You need to meet your new friend!"

"...Meow?"

"No... she's got a B-cup."

"Me-ow..."

"Aw... cheer up Pal. Do you want to meet her?"

"MmMm..." he turned his head no.

"Is it because she's a wolf?" He turned his head no again. "Oh I know why. Alright. We'll be back."

I walked outside with Twilight. Before we left we both grabbed flannel shirts and scarfs because the wind was getting worst by the minute. I love Fall's like these. Without a doubt, Fall is my favorite season. The temperature is perfect, and their are no droughts or snow. I didn't hate snow, but sometimes it got... out of hand...

4 years ago...

"Let me in!" I cried as my house was buried in snow.

"I can't do that!" Sarah said. "It's too cold and the door is blocked off."

"Open the damn chimney!" Lilith yelled. I couldn't find where the chimney was (couldn't see anything in this blizzard) so I was forced to ball up and pray for warmth...

Current times...

"Brrr..." I shook quickly and kept on walking.

"You cold?"

"I just remembered that winter from 4 years ago."

"When you had to spend two weeks at my house because yours was buried?"

"That's the one."

"Brrr..." she had just as bad of an experience as I did. The only person I can say who enjoyed it was Pinkie, for reason best left unknown. Do you know what happens when you let one person in your house, during a snowstorm? Their house get's filled with snow! So we had to clean out snow and water for days.

"So... did your play go into plans?"

"It did!"

"I wonder how we'll get the time in for that."

"You'll find a way! Like always! Besides you love acting!"

"...Still... Celestia sure was nice when she allowed you to do a play for the entire school."

"Do you think it's going to be okay?"

"I read your script before you turned it in! If we act as good as that paper, then this play will be as good as some of the Broadway ones."

"I really appreciate the support. But honestly, Fluttershy helped with most of it."

"Twilight, take some credit. It was your idea, and your story. She merely... put it on paper." (They have no idea how bad the play's going to end up... you'll find out next chapter! *gasp* Static! Did you just foreshadow next chapter's plot? Yes. Yes I did.)

"How about- Whoa!" she tripped on a fence post laying in the street. I quickly caught her and pulled her back up before she fell.

"How about you watch where your going."

"I was! That piece of wood just appeared out of nowhere! I swear!"

"Are you hurt?"

"No, because you saved me."

"Then that's all that matters!"

"Always look on the bright side of life... the Shafer motto eh?"

"Is it working?"

"It's the only thing that makes sense anymore honestly!"

"Your exaggerating."

"Not as much as I wish I could."

"Huh."

In Canterlot...

"Fall break ends in 5 days." Luna said beside me in bed. "So we have up till then to do whatever we want."

"Sounds good! Tell you what, I'm going to make you the greatest omelet you've ever eaten. Wait here." I told her as I moved out of bed and grabbed some pants. You can go ahead and guess what we did all night. Yep! That's right! If the real me is in the afterlife with Twilight, then the fake me can do whatever the fuck he desires!........Sex. We had sex.

Outside of Dawn's house...

"Okay, so hold on a sec Twi." she nodded as I knocked on the door. It opened up to show Edward again.

"Dustin! Son of my best friend! How are you doing champ?"

"I'm doing very good today Mr. Lupus!" I could only move my legs as he picked me up in a bear hug. "And just who is this beautiful young lass?"

"Say hi." I whispered. He put me down and got on one knee while picking up Twilight's hand.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle. Dustin's girlfriend."

"It's an honor to meet you." he kissed her on the hand (I haven't done that in months!) and brought a heavy blush to her face. "A fine woman, for a fine man. Nice catch Dustin! Ahahaha!" He gave me another noogie, making my legs twitch defensively. "Dawn's upstairs if you want to see her."

"Thanks." I said getting out of his grip.

"Say hello to Wanda on you way in!" he told us.

"He's quite... charismatic..."

"Yeah."

"Not as suave as you, but I think the fear he put inside me made me admire him."

"It's like Beowulf all over again..."

"*sigh* That was just a pain..."

Are you ready for a flashback? I sure am! But I think this chapter's long enough... so I'm putting the Beowulf joke in the next chapter. Also a play gone weary, and more Dawn. Also I am going to do a large part with Elizabeth and her friends, so that's what you should expect from the next chapter. Man it feels good to get back into writing!
