To recap what happened, we had a dance in the school, a mad goddess lady that turned out to be a five-year-old cat Faunus battled me and Indigo until I slammed into her as a flaming golf ball, and now the Princess of Equestria is here to talk to Headmaster Zecora and Indigo as the rest of the professors are out dealing with Grimm. Indigo, on the other hand, wanted to go find that kid and before anyone could stop him he started his search. I went with him since he was going the same way to my room and I needed to change.

“I missed my boots.” I said happily as I walked down the hallway with Indigo.

“You really hated the heels that bad?” He asked, glancing at me with a questioning look.

“Yes, they’re really uncomfortable on my feet.” I told him with a frown as I crossed my arms. “My boots are more comfortable than those stupid heels. And I don’t trip in them as often.” Indigo chuckled at this before we stopped by my room. I ducked into before stopping as I was closing the door. I looked out of the door at Indigo before slowly going over to the bed. I bet he heard some odd sounds coming from my room as well as some yelling as I stepped out with that kid in tow.

“You’re mean.” She said.

“Well, you’re in my room, so there.” I said before putting her down in front of Indigo. “Stay.”

“I’m not a pet!” she said angrily. I simply stared at her.

“I’ll give you a cookie.” I bribed her. She stared at me as she gave it some thought.

“Viri no, we don’t need another cookie monster.” Indigo quickly said. The kid looked up at him with a frown. I shrugged as I moved into my room and closed the door. After a few minutes, I stopped out in my normal clothes. I was greeted with the sight of Indigo holding up the kid as she ate a rather large cookie. “She wouldn’t stop asking for one.” He said with a sigh. I chuckled a bit at the sight.

“So now we have the kid, should we go see this Princess lady?” I asked him. This caused the kid to freak.

“No! Don’t take me to her!” she yelled as she tried to break Indigo’s grasp. “Let me go! Please!”

“I don’t know what the deal between you and the princess but if push comes to shove, I’ll make sure you don’t get hurt.” He said to the kid, managing to calm her down a little.

“... She sent me and her to the moon a thousand years ago.” she said simply.

“Wait, you’re a thousand years old?” I asked.

“Well, more like nine hundred ninety-five years old.” she said before looking back at Indigo. “Can you put me down now, I won’t run. Promise.”

“Alright.” He said before gently placing her down. Once she was down, his shadowy arm dissipated having fulfilled its use for now. “Just don’t try to run.” He said.

“Okay…” she said before looking at me and then him. “You two… aren’t from here, are you.”

“We’ll tell you about that later, right now we have to meet with the princess and her sister.” He said, not sounding to overjoyed in meeting them. It seems like she wasn’t as well.

“Are you sure I can’t just hide somewhere? I know a lot of hiding places.” she offered.

“Kid, you tried to kill us not too long ago. I’d rather keep an eye on you than to let you anywhere out of my sight.” Indigo said, looking down at her as his indigo colored eye shone briefly.

“It was worth a shot…” She said before walking over and tapping on the wall with her foot. A section of the wall opened up as she did. “This way to the main room we were in before.”

“How…” I started to ask as she looked at me.

“I used to live here, I know everything about this place than anyone… okay that’s not true but… just come on.” She said before crossing her arms. Indigo rolled his eyes before glancing at me.

“Ladies first.” He said jokingly as he gestured towards the passageway. She frowned at him before walking through the passageway with me following behind. Literally ten minutes later we were back in the main room.

“Whoa,” I said as I looked around. The kid seemed proud of herself about this.

“Told you I know everything about this place.” she said as Zecora looked over at us.

“Who’s this child?” Zecora asked.

“This little rascal was the one causing us so much trouble.” Indigo said, gesturing towards the kid beside him. Zecora looked at the kid before glancing at us. “Don’t ask how it happened, we don’t know either.” Indigo quickly added. Zecora walked over towards us and looked down at the child.

“What’s your name child?” Zecora asked.

“I’m Nightmare Moon!” She exclaimed while crossing her arms. This caused Zecora to arch a brow.

“Nightmare Moon, as in the same that tried to bring endless night all those years ago?” Zecora asked curiously. The kid stared at her before looking at both Indigo and me slowly.

“Uhh, yes?” She said unsure if it was the right answer.

“Huh, I thought you’d be taller.” Zecora replied. The kid muttered angrily to herself about this. Indigo patted her head gently, quieting her muttering as he did. “Anyway, we should go meet up with the Princesses and the ‘Heroes’ of Equestria.”

“Lead the way, Headmistress.” Indigo said with a nod. She turned and headed off towards the door. On the way, I saw a number of students were trying to repair the damage that was done to the main room as well as getting some first aid to those that got hurt.

“Did anyone get…” I started to ask but Zecora cut in.

“Luckily no, after the flash of light the Grimm started to act oddly. At first, they were soul bent on attacking the school but again, after the light they became confused and some ran off.” Zecora explained.

“Crisis averted, I suppose.” Indigo said with a shrug. I frowned and looked at the kid.

“Don’t look at me, I was faking it when I said I was calling them to me. They were simply following me as I came here.” She said defensively. I shook my head as we came to where I guess we were supposed to meet these people.

“Princess Celestia, sorry for the long wait,” Zecora said to the tall pony woman. She had an aurora mane that seemed to move on its own with ivory colour fur. She wore a simple but very nice dress with gold filigree on it. She had a pair large wings on her back and a longhorn on top of her head.

“It’s fine Ms.” she said in a motherly tone. Before anyone could say anything there was a loud gasp.

“Evil Enchantress!” A Faunus said as she leaped into the air and floated down to the ground as if she was a leaf. She had poofy pink hair and wore a small shirt red with three balloons on it with some purple pants. Indigo blinked at this but said nothing.

“Diana…” A mare simply said. She had white fur with a horn on top of her head with a curly purple mane. She wore a designer gray shirt and black pants. Oddly her tail seemed a little shorter than the others. Along with her, there was two other ponies and three Faunus; another one with a horn only she had purple fur and a moderate purple mane with a pink strip with some dark blue strips in her mane. She wore what looks like a students uniform with an image of a sun with a pair of wings with it on her breast pocket. The last Pony was one with only wings. She had yellow fur and a pink mane that wasn’t poofy. She wore a green sweater and purple skirt. She seemed to be shy as she ducked behind one of the Faunus that was there.

Speaking of Faunus the one pony was hiding behind had rainbow coloured hair with wings on her back that were brown with rainbow tips at the feathers. She wore a track runners outfit that was a dark blue and black colouring. The last one was… Jacqueline? She was there wearing a brown jacket with a red plaid shirt and simple jeans.

“Jacqueline?” I said to her. “Is that you?”

“Sure am, hey there Viri.” she greeted, making the others look at her. “How ya been?”

“Wait, you know her?” the purple pony ask.

“Of course I do, she was with my friend Tak when they came over to get deliveries,” she explained before leaning over to look at the school. “I guess I know where all that lumber went to.”

“If you all don’t mind, I think we should continue please.” A voice said. I turned to see a woman standing behind the Princess. As she stepped out I saw that she looked almost exactly like the kid, only a little older and had light blue hair instead of black. She glanced down at the kid which she hid behind me.

“If you don’t mind me asking for each of your names.” the Princess asked. “I just want to be polite.”

“Indigo Parker, I’m one of the professors here.” Indigo introduced himself with a small bow.

“I’m Viri Mal Kun.” I introduced as well as bowing a bit. The Princess arch a brow at me.

“Well then, I’m Princess Celestia and this is my younger sister, Princess Luna.” Princess Celestia introduce them both. I tilted my head a bit in confusion as Celestia is a pony and Luna is a Faunus.

“Different moms.” the kid whispered to me.

“Quiet you.” Luna snapped at her, making her yelp. Indigo frowned at this but kept quiet.

“Luna please.” Celestia said softly. Luna only nodded a bit before frowning at the kid as Celestia gestured to the others. “And this is my student Twilight Sparkle and her friends.” The five of them other than Jacqueline introduced themselves as Rarity and Fluttershy as the other two ponies along with Skyler Dawn and Diana Baker as the other two Faunus. I waved at them. “I see you all turned our castle into something useful.” Celestia said as she looked at the school.

“Your castle?” I asked her.

“Yes, it used to be known as the Castle of the Two Sisters, as you can tell which sisters.” Celestia explained.

“Told you…” the kid said before shrinking back as Luna frowned at her. I shook my head at this.

“So… do you want that castle back?” I asked her, earning a stare from both Indigo and Zecora. Celestia pondered on the question for a moment.

“Sister, from my memory alone our old castle was in ruins yes?” she asked Luna.

“Yes, it was, just some abandoned ruins.” Luna said as she looked around. “I don’t see any ruins of a castle anywhere. Do you?”

“No, I do not. I see a school here.” Celestia said before I caught a glimpse of her smile faltering a bit. “The nobles aren’t going to like the idea of a Faunus school.”

“The nobles are a pain in the ass!” the kid yelled behind me. Everyone looked at her as she tried to hide. Only for me to step out of the way which she looked at me if I just abandoned her.

“Hey, you walked into this one kid.” I told her.

“You’ve already gotten into enough trouble as it is, kid.” Indigo said with his arms crossed. The kid looked at him and at me before Luna spoke.

“Sister, what should we do about… her?” Luna asked her. Celestia hummed in thought as the kid started to panic.

“Don’t send me back to the moon! I don’t want to be alone!” she said before looking around to see if she could make a break for it. Celestia glanced over at me, Indigo and Zecora before speaking.

“I believe we don’t have to do anything to her. I think she’s being handled already.” Celestia spoke simply, earning a frown from her sister.

“Are you sure sister?” Luna asked.

“Yeah.” Skyler flapped her wings over to the kid. “She did try to take over Equestria and plunge it into endless night.” The kid backed up a little with a frown.

“Beat it chicken wings.” she retorted. Skyler’s eyes widen at this.

“Chicken win- why you little.” before she could do anything Jacqueline came over and pulled her back as Skyler was thrashing about.

“Easy there partner, no point of fightin.” she said.

“I do believe you all could handle her, can you?” Celestia asked Zecora and Indigo.

“Yeah, she won’t be much trouble.” Indigo answered, frowning at the kid for having insulted someone. The kid shrank a bit at this.

“Yes, I believe with our watchful eyes would keep her under control.” Zecora told the Princess.

“Well, with that said I think we should be off.” Celestia said before looking at all of us and giving each of us a bow before looking at Zecora. “Have a good evening, Headmistress.”

“You as well, Princess.” Zecora said with her own bow. With that the others turned and walked off, Skyler looking back at us as if she wanted to say something before giving that up and flew back to her friends. As they left we all looked down at the kid.

“W-what?” she asked us. Indigo shook his head in silence. Zecora looked down at her and off at the castle.

“I believe we should allow everyone to rest after an eventful night.” she said before looking at Indigo. “I believe you can oversee everything from here?”

“Of course.” Indigo said with a nod. She smiled before walking off towards the school.

“So, what should we do with this one?” I asked Indigo as I gestured to the kid.

“You let me worry about that, you should go check on the rest.” Indigo said simply. The kid looked up at him curiously.

“Right, good luck.” I told him before walking off.

“You’re going to leave me with him!?” The kid yelled at me, clearly not liking the idea of being left with Indigo.

“Yup, night.” I told her as I continuing towards my room, feeling tired from the eventful night. When I got to my room I simply fell onto my bed and passed out.

The next week went by without a hitch with the repairs. Most of the classes were put on hold due to the damage and injuries of students for a few days. During that time I got around to showing Mother the state of the dress and told her that it got this way from fighting a shadow queen lady that turn out to be a five year old girl, and said that it sounded odd when heard out loud.

At the moment I was walking down the hallway reading through my book before I overheard something about beings out in the woods watching the school. I stopped and looked over to a two female Faunus talking.

“Excuse me, what were you talking about beings watching the school?” I asked.

“Oh, well just a few days ago we saw some ponies and other Faunus hiding in bushes watching the school.” one of them explained.

“Is this some sort of surprise test?” the other asked.

“I don’t know, if so then someone needs to be more clever about it.” I said, earning a laugh from them. “Do you know what they look like?”

“Umm, I believe one of them was a purple unicorn from what I saw.” one of them said. “Kinda looks like the same one that came a week ago.”

A purple unicorn? Twilight? Why was she sneaking around? “Thanks for the info.”

“No problem, so back to what I was saying…” I drown them out as I made my way towards the nearest teacher, which was funny enough Indigo. I found him with Blake and the kid who were in the library. The kid was putting away books and grumbling to herself.

“What did you this time?” I asked her.

“I don’t know! I was told to do this!” she replied to me.

“You’re not getting a free pass after what you did, missy.” Indigo said to her while Blake looked up from her and onto the kid.

“He’s idea was for you to clean up the mess you made at the gathering hall, I convinced him to make this your punishment instead.” Blake said before returning to her book. The kid continued to grumble as she climbed a ladder up a bookcase.

“Right, so I don’t know about you but I think we might have spies.” I told Indigo. He raised a brow at this, holding back a laugh as he did.

“Spies?” He said questioningly. I just shrugged, not knowing how to clarify.

“Don’t know, just was told some Ponies and Faunus hiding out in some bushes near here.” I told him.

“Maybe those same six that came here with the Princess last week.” the kid said as she slid down the ladder. I stared at her with a blank look before Blake spoke.

“How do you know that?” She asked. The kid rolled her eyes.

“Because I saw them spying.” She answered clearly annoyed. “I had time for myself and simply wander one of the many secret passages away that surround the area. I found them spying on the school and simply watched them until they left.” Indigo sighed and shook his head before looking at me.

“Come on, let’s go meet our spies.” He said with a mocking tone before looking at the kid. “You can take a break while I’m gone, Iilah.” He said, a smirk forming as he did. The kid frowned at him before we walked away from her.

“Iilah?” I asked Indigo.

“It means Moon in the weird dragon language of yours.” He said, waving his hand as he did. I looked at him confusingly, wondering how me knew Dovah. “I had plenty of free time back at your mother’s palace, eventually I found the library.” He said with a shrug. I arch a brow at him

“Oo? Ful hi vis mindoraan fos Zu’u los sahgaat?” I said in Dovah. This earns an odd look from Blake. With a chuckle, Indigo faced me and said.

“Geh tinvaak med daar wahl zey honaat zurun.” He said. I simply grinned at him.

“Hey, we all sound odd.” I told him with a chuckle. Blake just stared at the two of us.

“I just… I have no idea what you just said right now.” she told us.

“I’ll tell you all about it later, hun.” Indigo said with a smirk before glancing at the kid. “Keep an eye on her while I’m gone.” He said to Blake, earning a nod from her. The two of us headed out and, after some time looking around in some bushes we found where the spies are hiding. It wasn’t really that hard since there was a small hole where a stack of books, notebooks, and pencils were stored. I flipped open one of the notebooks and read through it.

“Day three: most of the Faunus at this new school look like they healed up as I saw more and more of them about. Day Four: Looks like classes are back and the man named Indigo, the one with one less arm, lead his class outside to do some sparing. Much like the Huntsman schools in Canterlot but it seems more… brutal?” I looked up at Indigo. “Someone doesn’t seem to know how you do your teaching Indigo.”

“Aww, sounds like they’re missing out.” He said jokingly before chuckling. He looked down at the hole before saying. “What else is in there?” He asked.

“Umm, a sewing kit, some apples, some more books and… a very fresh cupcake.” I said, pulling cupcake out of the hole. “It’s warm… like, sitting out of the oven for a few minutes warm. How?”

“I don’t know… you going to eat it?” He asked, glancing at me before back down at the cupcake. I stared at the cupcake before giving it some weird looks.

“I don’t think so…” I said slowly. He shrugged as I put it back down.

“Seems we’ve got some grade A stalkers.” He said, after giving the journal a quick look. As he did that I heard some rustling from the bushes. The two of us turned and looked at where it was coming from before I pulled Indigo into another bush. He gave me an annoyed look before I put my finger to my lips to say quite. The two of us looked out to see Twilight walking out of the bushies along with a Faunus boy. He had green spiky hair with some purple scales on his arms and sides of his face. It was lizard-like Professor Flae but I believe he was a Dragon Faunus with the horns coming out of his head.

“Again, this is a bad idea even for you.” the guy said, sounding young as he crossed his arms.

“We’re just making some notes on this Faunus school for future study.” Twilight said as she pulled the books out of the hole with her magic.

“This is definitely not stalkerish.” the Faunus Drake said in sarcasm. Twilight rolled her eyes as she looked down at her books.

“Hey! One of my notebooks are gone!” she yelled. I glanced over at Indigo as he was reading the notebook in question.

“Maybe one of the many animals took it while you were away?” Drake said.

“But they didn’t take the cupcake!” she said as she held it up. Drake took the cake in his clawed hand and took a bite out of it.

“Their loss.” he said with a mouthful of food in his mouth. Me and Indigo watched the two of them bicker back and forth before looking at each other.

“Seems we found our spies.” I whispered to Indigo. “Or mostly the most consistent one with Twilight coming back every time with one or more of her friends.”

“Seems that she’s the odd one of her group.” Indigo said with a whisper as he continued reading. “Hmm.” He hummed, gripping the notebook by a page before ripping it off.

“What’s that?” I whispered back to him.

“She doesn’t seem fond of us having kept custody over Iilah after what she did.” He said, crumbling the page into a ball. I frowned at this before looking back at the other two as Twilight was already writing stuff down with Drake sitting nearby.

“You know someone’s going to find out about you spying-”

“I’m not spying, I’m researching.” Twilight informed him. Drake rolled his eyes at this. “Besides, this spot is a great spot to hide in, no one would look here.”

I made a face before I looked over at Indigo, arching an eyebrow. He frowned at her words before glancing at me.

“Shall we?” He asked. With a nod the two of us stood up and stepped out of the bush where the two others are. Drake saw us and went wide eyed as Twilight was too busy with writing.

“Uhh, Twi?” Drake said.

“Not now Drake, I’m busy.” she said without looking up. Indigo shook his head at this.

“Twilight, this is important.” Drake said as he looked up at the two of us.

“So is this Drake.” Twilight respond. I looked over at Indigo and gestured if I should speak first or should be him. He looked down at the busy unicorn mare.

“I think this is more important than what you’re doing.” Indigo said with an annoyed tone. The mare stopped what she was doing and I swore I saw her fur turn a bit lighter. She slowly turned towards us and laugh nervously.

“Umm, hi?” was all she can say at Indigo.

“A little too late for a hello.” He said with an unamused expression. Twilight looked up at the two of us before I spoke.

“Why are you spying on us?” I asked.

“Ah well you see… umm, it’s really…” Twilight rambled a bit before Drake spoke.

“Blame her sense of curiosity.” he said in a flat tone.

“Noted.” Indigo said as Twilight slowly stood up.

“Why didn’t you just come and say you want to see the place?” I asked her. She gave me a look that said that I was missing something.

“Most Huntsman academies don’t allow Faunus to attend there so I figured it was the same here.” She explained. I blinked at her.

“That’s rude.” I replied, feeling a bit insulted by her explanation. Indigo nodded in agreement.

“It’s also very rude assume, miss.” Indigo said with shake of his head. Her ears flattened on top of her head at this.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to be rude.” she said sadly. He rolled his eyes, not accepting her apology just yet. He looked down at the discarded notebook before kicking it towards Twilight, the crumbled up page still in hand. The unicorn looked down at the notebook and picked it up. After dusting it off a bit and brought it close to her. I frowned and elbowed Indi.

“Was that really necessary?” I asked. He rolled his eyes before saying.

“Don’t, just don’t.” He said, pocketing the crumbled page as he did. He then rubbed his right temple before shaking his head. “Ma’am, what you’ve been doing is considered an invasion of privacy. A very big invasion of privacy” He said, pointing at the notebook she held close. Twilight didn’t say anything other then looking down at the ground.

“Hey look.” Drake said as he stepped in. “She didn’t know that what she did was bad but last I checked the Everfree forest didn’t have rules.” he then looked towards the school.

“Drake…” Twilight said before getting cut off by the Faunus.

“Not now- and from the looks of it we’re pretty far from the school.” he said before crossing his arms and glaring at Indigo. Indigo raised a brow at the boy.

“It doesn’t give her an excuse to document people’s lives, especially without them knowing.” Indigo said clearly annoyed.

“It was actually to document how a Faunus trains differently to become a Huntsman…” Twilight muttered but she shuts up when both Indi and Drake looks at her.

“Look she did something that looks bad, but you seemed to act she was going to something like blow up the school, which she’s not and-” he stopped when I groaned. I grabbed Indigos arm.

“I need to talk to my professor.” I said as I pulled him away from the other two. “Okay, what’s on that page that got you so bent about? You were fine before you read it.” He sighed before pulling out the crumbled page and straightened it out before finally handing it to me. I took it and read it, seeing that it talks about the mares thoughts on Nightmare Moon and that she thinks that she should be destroyed. I slowly frowned more as I read.

“You can see now why I’m upset.” He said just below a whisper. I simply nodded.

“Yeah, I do…” I said as I folded the paper. “I don’t know much about Nightmare Moon, but I guess she’s just scared about the worse outcome.” I point at Indigo as he frowns. “I’m not saying I agree with her but I can understand her view of things.” With a quiet sigh, he nodded understanding my point.

“Alright but she better not try anything.” Indigo said, glancing at the purple mare as he spoke.

“I don’t think she will.” I said as I glanced over to her. “But do you really think she’s going to sit back while her curiosity runs rampant in her head.”

“Look, the way she’s handling her research…” He said while making air quotes before continuing. “Is considered an invasion of privacy unless she gets the okay on the people she writes about. Not to mention the fact that if it weren’t us who found her stuff, she might’ve been mistaken with an actual stalker.” He said.

“Good point.” I said before glancing at Drake. “Although I believe Drake has a lot of back bone to stand up to you.”

“Sure the kid can talk back but can he stand a chance against me? I think that’s a more important question.” He said, chuckling as he spoke.

“Admit it, you enjoy someone one other than Blake that can talk back to you while not being scared of you.” I said with a smirk. He shook his head with a smirk of his own. The two of us walked over as the two looked at us.

“So, what’s the verdict?” Drake asked as he had his arms crossed.

“If you wanted to do some research, you should’ve asked the Headmistress for permission into the premises. Along with that, you will need the consent of the people you document and have already documented.” Indigo said, leaning onto the tree beside him. Twilight seemed to lighten up at this before Indigo mentioned the consent.

“Alright.” she said before Drake looked at her.

“Remember the time with the bug keeper.” Drake mention. Twi shifted a bit before nodding.

“I… don’t want to know…” I said before the two of them said they will come back to talk to the Headmistress tomorrow. As Twilight started gaither her things I looked at Drake. “You seemed to know how to.. Handle her.” he simply shrugged.

“One learns the ways when you spent most of my life with her as a younger brother.” he explained. I tilt my head as he continue. “Step-brother.”

“Ahh.” I said as Twilight came back and the two started to head off back to their home.

“Well now that’s handled, we should head back. Your next class starts in two minutes.” He said in a nonchalant tone, having pulled out his scroll to have checked the time.

“Oh… shit!” I said before I booked it towards my next class.
