A few weeks passed from Xander's return and he had gotten back into the roll of things, such as daily routines, catching up with friends.

    Xander sat next to Twilight on the couch as he read a book about the history of Equestria. He saw a odd looking creature on one of the pages and turned to Twilight "What's this thing?" He asked as he showed her the picture.

    Twilight looked at it and smiled "Oh! That's Discord, he's the God of chaos." She said before turning back to her book.

    Xander stared at the picture and thought to himself 'The God of chaos, eh? I wonder if me and him have anything in common.' He the shook his head 'Nah, probably not, if he's the God of chaos then he's probably an asshole all of the time, unlike me where I'm only a asshole sometimes.' He the smiled to himself before returning to reading the book.

    There was a knock at the door that disturbed the study session between Twilght and Xander. Twilight sighed and got up to answer the door, and when she did she wore a look of surprise "Princess? What brings you here?" She asked curiously.

    Princess Celestia stepped inside and smiled at her student "To give a proper greeting to our old friend here" she said as she looked at Xander. She gently smiled and walked towards him "It's nice to see you again, Xander. How has your return been?" She asked nicely.

    Xander stood up and bowed to the Princess "It has been very lovely, Princess." He the stood straight up "Do you bring anything new with you today?" He asked curiously.

    Celestia nodded before pulling something out "I have two new things in fact. I have brought you a badge and a official documented date of when your recognition is." She said as she gave Xander the badge, well more of a card then a badge, but that's what they called it.

    Xander observed the badge and saw it read 'Special Forces' he tilted his head in confusion before looking at Celestia "I'm apart of the Special Royal Forces?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

    Celestia smiled "Of course, in fact you are in the upper ranks, so that badge holds a lot of respect within it." She then flipped the badge onto the back for him "It also has the logo that stands for hero here in Equestria." She finished with a wide smile.

    Xander observed the logo, it had two swords crossing each other with shield behind them. He put it into his wallet before looking back at Celestia "Well, that's neat. What about the other thing you brought?" He asked curiously.

    Celestia pulled out a scroll and unrolled it before she began to read it out loud "This document has reached you because you have a scheduled date with the nobles. This service is to celebrate you becoming the newly founded hero. Ponies from all over Equestria will be ecstatic to see you be announced hero as they have been waiting for this day since the death of the last hero, Samuel, which was over a thousand years ago. Your announcement and celebration of becoming the new hero date is this upcoming Saturday at specifically twelve p.m. Since you are the main individual of the event, you get to have twelve free tickets to the event. We will see you then, Xander."

    Celestia rolled up the scroll before handing it to Xander "and now I will give you your tickets." She said as she pulled out twelve gold looking tickets with a purple outline that read 'VIP'. She levitated them to Xander and closed her bag. "All of the ponies in Equestria have been sent a guest copy of the scroll, but if they want to attend then they have to pay for admission." She stated.

    Xander stared at the tickets "This is a lot to take in all at once, I honestly didn't expect a huge event like this be held for me." He sat down on the couch as he rubbed his neck "I mean, I haven't even proven myself." He said while looking down.

    Celestia giggled "You really don't realize what you've done, do you?" She asked curiously.

    Xander looked up at her while shaking his head.

    Celestia giggled some more "You did the impossible, you escaped death, that's the only thing a hero can do, they are able to escape death at least once." She sighed before speaking up again "I want congratulate you on your new title. I can't wait to see the ponies reaction this Saturday. I will see you until then." She then gave Twilight a hug before leaving the library.

     Twilight sat down next to Xander before speaking "I understand what you're saying, it is a lot to take in all at once." She said before rubbing his back "But you should happy right now, you're having a Royal event held just for you!" She finished with her chipper tone.

    Xander smiled at her before speaking "You're right, this Saturday will be one to never forget, I'm sure it's gonna be amazing." He then handed one of the special tickets to Twilight.

    Twilight stared at it for a few seconds before accepting it "Thank you." She then looked at the rest of the tickets "Besides me, who are you gonna take?" She asked curiously.

    Xander rubbed his chin "Applejack, Jerald, Rainbow dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Austen, Pinkie, and Justin." He looked to her and saw her staring at him.

    Twilight looked at him "What about the extra three tickets?" She asked.

    Xander shrugged and handed her three extra tickets "You can give them to whoever you want" he said while holding the tickets towards her.

    Twilight slowly accepted the extra tickets "But, why me? Why are you giving me the extra tickets?" She asked, confused.

     Xander smiled at her "Well, I know you have a family, and well, you're my best friend." He said while looking at her.

    Twilight looked at him with a warm smile before hugging him "Thank you, I think I know exactly who I'm gonna give these to." She said before letting him go "They're actually ponies I want you to meet." She said while staring at him with kindness in her eyes.

    Xander smiled "Who exactly are they?" He's asked with a raised eyebrow.

    Twilight smiled and spoke "My family, well, more specifically my Mom, Dad, and Brother, oh I can't wait to give them these, I bet they're gonna be overwhelmed to personally meet you, especially now with your new title." She said while smiling down at the ground.

    Xander chuckled "C'mon, you're acting like a heroes a huge celebrity or something." He finished with a sigh.

    Twilight giggled "The hero is a celebrity, silly! It's actually a lot like being Royalty, except for the fact that you actually go into major battles." She smiled up at him "You're gonna see, ponies are gonna go crazy for you!" She said with a bit of excitement in her tone.

    Xander shrugged "Oh well." He then realized something "Wait, today's Wednesday, and the event is Saturday, so doesn't that mean me and the guys need to have some formal clothing made for us?" He asked.

    Twilight perked up and hopped up immediately "Wow! I never even thought of that! C'mon, Xander! We need to go give the others their tickets and then head to Rarity's!" She said as grabbed the tickets from Xander and walked out of the door.

    Xander shook his head and followed her. 'I swear that mare is a perfectionist.' He thought before walking out of the door.

    Twilight walked inside of sugar cube corner with Xander behind her. She Called out Pinkie's and Austen's name, to which they appeared out what seemed like thin air.

    Pinkie spoke "Hey Twilight! Whatcha need?" She then looked at the tickets "Ooooh, pretty!" She observed the tickets.

    Twilight levitated one to Austen, then to Pinkie "Actually, we are here to give you these. The Princess is holding a Royal event for our lucky little human here." She said as she stood on her hind legs and squished Xander's cheeks together "He's being given a very major title on Saturday." She said while getting down back onto all fours.

    Austen looked at Xander "Oh, I think I know what it is. Is the Princess announcing you as the hero finally?" Austen asked plainly.

    Xander nodded "Yup, the time has come." He said while crossing his arms.

    Twilight spoke up again "We need to get going, but Pinkie, you need to take Austen to Rarity to get a suit made, we'll meet you there in a little bit." She said while turning around.

    Pinkie grabbed Austen and made him follow her "C'mon big bear, we need to get you all handsome!" She said while walking out of the door.

    Xander followed Twilight as she walked out of the door.

    Xander walked beside Twilght as they approached the Apples front door. Xander knocked on the door a few times before it instantly swung open, revealing Jerald.

    Jerald spoke loud with his new country accent "What do you two need?" He asked with a chipper tone.

    Xander handed him two tickets "We're inviting you and Applejack to something important up at the castle. Also, later you need to go Rarity to have a fancy suit made." He hit the high points.

    Twilight spoke up "What he really means is that, Celestia is holding a Royal event for him and we wanted to give you and Applejack VIP tickets to it. You need to have a tuxedo or something fancy made since this is a very special event, also because you're gonna be a special guest there." Twilight explained with more detail.

    Jerald nodded his head "Oh, alrighty, I'll give Aj her ticket and then we'll meet y'all at Rarity's" he said while walking back inside.

    Twilight smiled "Alright, now it's time for Justin and Fluttershy." She said while walking away.

    Xander sighed and followed her "This is probably the most boring thing I've done since I've got here." He said while walking beside Twilight.

    Twilight giggled I'm response to his comment.

    Twilight knocked and Fluttershy's cottage door, which resulted in it opening, revealing Fluttershy.

    Fluttershy spoke "Oh! What are you two up to?" She asked with her timid tone.

    Twilight smiled and gave her two tickets "We're here to give you and Justin some tickets to a Royal event up at the castle!" She said with a chipper tone.

    Fluttershy accepted the tickets and spoke again "What about Rainbow Dash?" She asked curiously.

    Twilight smiled "We've gotta track her down, we have one for her too." She replied nicely.

    Fluttershy turned around and called Rainbow Dashes name.

    Rainbow Dash revealed her self and spoke "Wassup?" She asked.

    Twilight smiled and said hello to Rainbow "Oh, hey Rainbow, it's actually good that you're here." She then gave her a ticket to which she accepted "You're invited to a Royal event up at the castle." She explained.

    Rainbow looked at the ticket and spoke "What's the event for?" She asked, not knowing about Xander's title.

    Twilight giggled "They're gonna announce the new hero." She stared at Rainbow.

    Rainbow tilted her head "No way! I never would've seen that coming." She claimed.

    Twilight giggled some more before sighing and turning her attention to Fluttershy "Justin needs some fancy clothing, so take him to Rarity's and the others will meet you there" she said before trading her goodbyes.

     Twilight walked with Xander beside her, she noticed he was deep in thought "What's wrong?" She asked with slight concern.

    Xander sighed "It's Justin, he hasn't really seemed to be around that much. It feels like I'm losing a friend." He said before looking at her.

    Twilight smiled gently "Don't worry, he's probably just been busy, so I'm sure once he has more free time he will come to hangout." She said while bumping up against him "Besides, you still have me and the others to hangout with." She said, trying to cheer him up.

    Xander sighed "Yeah, I guess you're right." He said while still thinking about it.

    Twilight and Xander arrived at Rarity's soon after the conversation. They both entered the boutique and were welcomed with the faces of their friends.

    Rarity walked up to the two and asked "What's this about a Royal celebration I've been hearing about?" She soon stopped when she was given a ticket "Oh, I see. There's a event going on at the castle?" She asked.

    Twilight nodded before speaking "Yup, the Princess is announcing a new hero, so these tickets will pretty much count us as being the new heroes friends." She said while smiling at Rarity.

    Rarity wore a wide smile "Now I understand why you all are here! You need fabulous new outfits for such a important occasion!" She exclaimed. She grabbed Xander with her magic and put him in the section where she had some tuxedoes made "I've been experimenting for a time like this." She then grabbed a classic black and white tuxedo with a red tie "Go and put this on, it should look great on you!" She then trotted off to the others to probably do the same thing.

    Xander went into the dressing room and put on the outfit, along with the dress shoes that he had received. He looked into the mirror and adjusted his collar and tie before exiting the room to get approval.

    Twilight saw Xander and smiled "You look great! It seems to fit with your body really well!" She complimented.

    Rarity nodded "I do agree darling, but perhaps before you go to the event, you should spike up your hair, and maybe try and find some sunglasses, it would definitely add some personality." She explained.

    Xander nodded before speaking "I can do that, I think I have just what you're talking about." He said with a smile.

    Twilight smiled and looked at Rarity before speaking "How much will the suit cost?" She asked.

    Rarity shook her head "Nothing at all, especially after you gave me a special ticket." She said with a smile.

    Xander had gone and changed while they talked, but he came out a few minutes later. He spoke when he came back "Thanks Rarity, this suit really does look great!" He complimented her skills.

    Rarity smiled "Thank you, darling. Nice to know you enjoy my work." She gave a nice smile.

    The others came and showed Xander their suits. Jerald had received a navy blue tuxedo with a white undershirt and navy blue tie. Austen got a red suit with a white tie and undershirt. Justin got a white suit with a red tie and white undershirt.

    Xander complimented them on their suits before having Twilight get his attention "It's starting to get a little late, we should head home now." She said while walking for the door.

    Xander said his goodbyes before following Twilight, he walked beside her and spoke "Today was kind of boring, but I guess I've never been one to really enjoy running errands." He said, finishing with a sigh.

    Twilight giggled before speaking "Don't worry, Saturday will be eventful enough for you." She said while walking.

    Xander smiled "I'm sure Saturday will be a good day." He walked with Twilight back home to retire for the day.
