"And to think this is the exact spot we were a few days ago when I was being smothered by Kiara," Gamertag said.

Gamertag, Game Shard, Kiara, John, Moonshine, Blaze, Sound Blast, Skyler, Shooting Star, and Rift Raft were all at the Mainhatten train station which was near the ocean and where everypony from the gaming tournament was leaving. They were there because Gamertag and Game Shard had to tell the hosts of the gaming tournament that they were not going to follow them all over Equestia for another year. They were all about to leave when Kiara shouted.

"LOOK IT’S TREX!!!"

Everypony turned to where Kiara was pointing. Trex was there and he looked like he was looking for somepony.

"Oh no... I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Game Shard yelled and started running away.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Kiara said and then grabbed Game Shard with her magic, "You are going to tell him that you are leaving and you will probably never see him again,"

"ARE YOU MOONSHINE?!" Game Shard yelled.

"No I am Moonshine!" Moonshine said.

"She meant are you crazy, Moonshine," Gamertag said.

"Ohhhhh but she is not in a mental institution for thinking she is a pirate," Moonshine said.

"What..," John started but was interrupted by Gamertag.

"Just... Don't ask," Gamertag said.

"Well Game Shard I think you should tell him you are leaving. You don't want him to think you died or something," Sound Blast said.

"I WOULD PREFER TO EAT GLASS," Game Shard said.

"Alright!" Moonshine said and then poofed a glass bottle with her magic.

"MOONSHINE SHE DID NOT ACTUALLY MEAN THAT!" Shooting Star said and then took the bottle with her magic.

"Ok if you are too afraid to talk to him then I will," Blaze said and then started to walk towards Trex.

"Ok perfect problem solved! Now can we go?!" Game Shard said.

"We should probably stop her... She is probably still very mad at that guard for kicking us out," Skyler said and then started flying towards Blaze.

Everypony started following Skyler except Game Shard who tried to sneak away but was caught by Kiara again.

"Oh no you are going to talk to him!" Kiara said.

When everypony got there Trex started talking to Blaze not even noticing all the ponies behind her.

"So you are the dragon that had a band that got kicked out of the gaming tournament," Trex said.

"Yeah and you are the guard that threw us out," Blaze said showing a little bit of her teeth and growling.

"Give me one good reason to not get you kicked out of this train station you monster," Trex said.

"Oh... I WILL GIVE YOU MANY REASONS!" Blaze threatened and then tried to scratch him with her claws but before she could, she was tackled into the nearby ocean by Rift Raft.

"Well.. That's one way to stop Blaze," Skyler said watching Blaze and Rift Raft fight in the water.

Trex looked up to see who was talking and saw all the ponies who were standing there, including Game Shard who was attempting to hind behind Kiara but Kiara kept pushing her back into his line of view.

"GAME SHARD! THERE YOU ARE!" Trex cheered. He then hugged Game Shard.

"Yep it's me... Totally came here by my own will, and not because a crazy love obsessed unicorn kept pushing me here," Game Shard said with a shaky smile.

Trex then went in to kiss Game Shard but Gamertag put her wing in his way.

"Woah okay slow down there, lover colt. Game Shard has something to tell you," Gamertag said, moving away so that Game Shard and Trex were facing each other once again.

"IS IT THAT SHE WANTS TO BY MY MAREFRIEND BECAUSE IF IT IS THEN YES," Trex yelled.

"No... actually it is that I am leaving the gaming tournament to stay with my friends," Game Shard said not making eye contact with him.

"Oh... well then I will just stay here too!" Trex said happily.

"Yeah I am sorry but- wait WHAT?!" Game Shard yelled.

Everypony stared at Trex in shock and did not say anything.. Well except for Kiara.

"AWWWWWWW!" Kiara squealed. Everypony then stared at her in annoyance.

"Oh... sorry," Kiara said.

"Okay, be right back. I am going to get my luggage and tell the gaming tournament I quit," Trex said. He kissed a still shocked Game Shard on the cheek and walked away.

"Well... EVERYPONY PANIC!!!" Game Shard said, "CODE RED CODE RED CODE-" Gamertag shoved her hoof in Game Shard's mouth.

"Are you done?" Gamertag asked. In response, Game Shard nodded her head yes.

"Okay. Good. Now let's think of a plan," Gamertag said.

"How about we all run and move away to Canterlot?" Sound Blast suggested.

"That is your answer to everything," Skyler said, "why don't we run away and then go to a diner get some breakfast and think of a plan there,"

"Alright good idea let's go," Gamertag said and then took her hoof out of Game Shard's mouth.

Everypony started walking away until Shooting Star stopped.

"Wait... what about Rift Raft and Blaze..," Shooting Star said, "and where is Moon-"

"AHOY MATIES!" Moonshine yelled. She was on a giant Pirate ship that was in the ocean.

"COME ABOARD YE LAND LOVERS," Moonshine said and then dropped down a rope ladder so Blaze and Rift Raft could climb up it.

"Oh-" John started.

"My-" Skyler continued.

"Celestia," Shooting Star finished.

~~~At the diner~~~

"So... what's the plan?" Skyler asked. Everypony was at the diner. Rift Raft had a blanket because she was cold from the water. Her and Blaze were not speaking to each other or to really anypony at all. Moonshine was wearing an actual pirate hat that she said came with the pirate ship she 'found'.

"Well first off, Kiara and I are taking Gamertag and Game Shard around Mainhatten to look at apartments," John answered.

"And what do we do about Trex?" Blaze asked, taking a sip of coffee.

"Well no doubt Trex is going to keep looking for Game Shard, so we will split into teams of three to find him and convince him to stay with the gaming tournament. The gaming tournament leaves in a few hours so we don't have much time. Rift Raft and Blaze, and I will look around Game Shard's hotel and Sound Blast, Skyler and Moonshine will search around the train station," Shooting Star answered.

"Alright, then it's settled. Let's get moving if we are going to find Trex before the gaming tournament leaves," Blaze said and she put her coffee down and flew out of the diner.

Shooting Star and Rift Raft followed after her and Sound Blast, Skyler, and Moonshine left and went towards the train station. Gamertag, Game Shard, Kiara and John stayed a while but then left to go to the first apartment on their list.

~~~At the first apartment~~~

"And here is the apartment," the landlord said and then opened the door.

The door opened to the living room which still had furniture.

"The ponies who lived here are... still moving," The landlord explained.

The four ponies began exploring the house. They first went into the bedroom which had a camera in front of the bed.

"Um... do you happen to know what the ponies who live here's jobs are?" Game Shard asked.

"Well... they said they had a few jobs... I never asked what they were.," The landlord answered a little scared from learning more about the ponies that used to live here.

"Maybe... they made home movies!" Gamertag said.

"They made porn," John deadpanned.

"No, home movies!" Gamertag said again.

"They. Made. Porn," John argued.

"I am trying to be optimistic!" Gamertag said, annoyed.

While the ponies were talking Kiara went to the closet that was in the bedroom and opened it. Inside she found many... toys.... pleasurable toys.

"Hey, what's this?" Kiara asked.

"What's wha- OH SWEET CELESTIA!" Gamertag yelled and then ran over to the closet.

"It's ummm... toys! Yeah toys!" Game Shard said.

"Yeah, pleasurable toys- OW!" Gamertag mumbled but was then hit by Game Shard's wing.

"Well that is a whip, that is a dildo- OW!" John started explaining but was then also hit by Game Shard's wing.

"Ummm... maybe we should go and look at.. THE BASEMENT! YEAH THAT SOUNDS FUN RIGHT?!" The landlord said nervous.

"There is no basement, this is an apartment," John said.

"What is this?" Kiara asked and then pulled a handle that was hidden in the back of the closet. When she pulled it, it opened another door that had a bunch of pictures of a mare and hearts.

"AWWW IT'S A LOVE SHRINE!" Kiara said happily.

"So the last pony that lived here made porn.... and was a stalker?!" Gamertag yelled.

"Hey I know that mare... she is a singer. Her name is Morbidly Artistic and-" John started explaining but was interrupted by Game Shard pushing them.

"ALRIGHT WE ARE LOOKING IN ANOTHER ROOM!" Game Shard said as she pushed Gamertag, John, and Kiara.

The ponies looked into the bathroom where they found a star on the floor.

"Well... to add onto the list of things this pony does is worship Satan," Gamertag said.

"OH CELESTIA IS THAT BLOOD?!" Kiara screamed and pointed to the corner of the room where a skull sat covered in blood.

"Uhhh guys..," John said from another room.

The ponies went to where John was and found a meth lab.

"And now this is Breaking Bad..," Gamertag said.

"Well... that explains why the ponies left last night," the landlord said.

"Wait... you mean to tell me that the ponies that lived here left at night without anything they own and you didn't even bother to look around?!" John said angrily.

"Yep," the landlord said.

~~~At the Mainhatten train station~~~

"HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PONY?!"

"Ma'am... that's a cereal box character,"

Moonshine, Sound Blast, and Skyler had been searching around the train station asking questions to ponies for around a hour. Right now Moonshine was interrogating a conductor.

"Moonshine... what are you doing?" Skyler asked.

"Well... I kind of lost the photo of Trex that I had... so I improvised!" Moonshine answered.

"With a box of cereal?" Skyler asked.

"Yep!" Moonshine answered. Skyler facetallioned.

"I still don't understand HOW you got that photo," Sound Blast said as she flew next to them.

"I have my ways..," Moonshine said walking away to go ask some other ponies if they have seen a character on a cereal box.

"How much are you willing to bet Moonshine is in the mafia?" Skyler asked Sound Blast.

The ponies searched and asked for a awhile until Moonshine asked a fellow guard from the gaming tournament.

"Yeah I have seen him. At the grocery store," The guard answered with a smirk.

"Thank you! GUYS I KNOW WHERE TREX IS! HE IS AT THE SUPERMARKET!" Moonshine yelled.

Skyler facetallioned again and Sound Blast looked at Moonshine is confusion.

"Moonshine... I thought you couldn't find the guards," Sound Blast said.

"Well you told me to find the guards so I did. Then I went back to you guys to help you look for Trex," Moonshine said.

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO ASK THE GUARDS IF THEY KNEW WHERE TREX WENT!!!" Skyler yelled.

"Ohhhh... do you know where Trex went?" Moonshine asked the guard.

"Yeah. Said he was going to go meet up with the love of his life at her place," The guard answered.

"TO THE HOTEL!!!" Moonshine yelled and then galloped towards the hotel. Skyler and Sound Blast flew after her.

"I swear one of these days I am going to kill that pony," Skyler said.

"Why? She is actually really nice. I just think she is like a little foal who needs attention," Sound Blast said and smiled and then flew a bit faster to catch up with Moonshine.

"Whatever you say Sound Blast," Skyler said annoyed and followed after Sound Blast.

~~~At the second apartment~~~

"Alright this is apartment number two out of three. Let's hope this one is better than the last place," John said as they entered the apartment.

The apartment was actually empty this time but was a complete dump. There were bugs everywhere and it was leaking. The place looked just like a basement.

"Huh," Gamertag said, "I knew I should have been suspicious of this place when we had to go down a few flights of stairs."

"You like?" A new landlord said.. "Place is good yes? You want place?"

"Uhhh why are you speaking like that?" Game Shard asked.

"Speak like what yes. Want place?" The landlord asked.

"Oh...kay.... Are there any other rooms?" John asked.

"No only one yes. Want place? Place very nice yes? Place two hundred dollar," the landlord said.

"I am beginning to miss the other place," Gamertag said.

"What other place?" The landlord asked.

"Oh, it was this place in the apartment across from here," John answered.

"Oh, I used to live there yes. Moved out... yesterday yes," the landlord said.

Everypony stared at him with wide eyes.

"Oh... that's cool... we'll uh... keep in contact," Game Shard said and then pushed everypony out of there.

"He seemed nice!" Kiara said smiling. Everypony glared at her.

"What?!" Kiara asked.

~~~At the hotel~~~

"I MUST SEE MY LOVE!"

"Sir, there is no pony here named 'My Love'"

Shooting Star, Rift Raft, and Blaze had searched the whole hotel for two hours and were going back to the lobby to think of what to do next when they saw Trex talking to somepony at the desk.

"THERE HE IS!" Rift Raft yelled pointing at Trex. As soon as Blaze saw him she flew and tackled him to the ground.

"THERE YOU ARE YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING LITTLE-" Blaze started but was interrupted by Shooting Star.

"Okay! Blaze calm down. We are here to convince him, not to kill him," Shooting Star said.

"Yeah plus I bet I could kill him FASTER than you," Rift Raft said with a smirk.

Blaze then got up and tackled Rift Raft to the ground and the two started fighting again.

"Oh for the love of! Okay listen, Trex. Game Shard DOES. NOT. LIKE YOU!" Shooting Star explained loudly.

"Sure she doesn't. And that dragon over there is actually nice," Trex said sarcastically.

"Okay listen remember last-" Shooting Star started but was interrupted by the hotel doors opening.

"THERE YOU ARE!" A pony yelled and then tackled Shooting Star to the floor.

"Wow Moonshine. You saved us all," Skyler said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

"Moonshine get off Shooting Star!" Sound Blast said.

"Oops," Moonshine said and then got off Shooting Star. She then tackled Trex to the floor.

"Now I got you!" Moonshine said and Skyler facetallioned.

"Wait... I know you... YOU ARE THE PONY THAT RUINED MY DATE WITH GAME SHARD!" Trex yelled and then bucked Moonshine off of him.

"Well yeah she is. But she did it because Game Shard asked her to," Shooting Star said.

"NO SHE DID- wait... She did?" Trex said, frowning.

"Yeah... worry you had to find out this way," Sound Blast said and put her wing around Trex.

"I... I am going back to my job now," Trex said in a kind of angry tone and walked towards the door.

"Oh, and this will not be the last you all or Game Shard hear of me," Trex said calmly and then left.

Shooting Star, Moonshine, Skyler, and Sound Blast stared at the door thinking about what he just said.

"Well... he took it better than I thought he would," Skyler said.

"Yeah... but it still could have gone better," Sound Blast said.

"Not really. The other ways it could have gone involved him hurting somepony," Shooting Star said.

"I THINK THIS IS GREAT! NOW WE CAN HAVE A RECURRING VILLAIN! OH WE SHOULD ALL BE LIKE SUPER HEROES!" Moonshine said excitedly and then teleported away for a second and then came back wearing a red cape.

"Well... at least everything is good for now," Skyler said.

"Yeah... except BLAZE AND RIFT RAFT ARE FIGHTING ON THE FLOOR OVER THERE!" Sound Blast yelled.

~~~At the finale apartment~~~

"Hey this is the same building as our apartment!" Kiara said.

"Oh yeah this place is in the same building... in retrospect we should have gone here first," John said.

"Well... let's see what this place holds," Game Shard said nervously.

They opened the door into the living room that was connected to the kitchen. The place was very modern and had a nice view of Mainhatten.

"So, you two taking it?" The third landlord asked.

Gamertag and Game Shard looked at each other and then said at the same time:

"Yes!"
