I woke up early again. I didn't really want to wake up, but my body wanted to be active. I explored their home while being mindful of their privacy and found the bathroom to do my usual morning routine.

I noticed that there was a scroll on the couch when I woke up. It has a wax seal with a symbol of a crescent moon. Luna's official seal. I didn't want to open it yet, so I put it into a pocket of mine for later.

Once I finished in the bathroom, I went into the kitchen and began making some food. It was some very sweet oatmeal, along with a cup of juice, and began chowing down on it. It could have used more sugar, but it was fine.

I heard the sound of hooves and turned to see Amethyst in the hallway. She had a surprised look when she saw me and smiled nervously.

"Good morning." She said, noticing the ungodly amount of oatmeal I was eating.

"Morning." I replied simply.

She let out a yawn and stretched, sticking out her tongue slightly as she did so. I thought it was adorable, but didn't say anything as to not seem weird.

"So..." She said, looking over to me a few times as she went to the cupboard.

"Yes? You need something?" I asked, realizing how awkward she was being. Reminds me of my younger self.

"Can you turn into a Human, or can't you? Mom told me that she saw your Human form and since there's a show about it, I wanted to know what one looked like in person. So... could you?" She asked nervously. I pondered for a second.

"Is Dinky still asleep?" I asked. She nodded her head and I transformed back into my Human form. I noticed that I was still wearing the same clothes from when I first woke up, and they were a little dirty. I just quickly imagined them to be clean and it shone a little afterwards.

Amethyst looked a bit scared since I was taller than her by a foot and a half. When I was in my pony form, I was only several inches taller than her.

Then she saw my face and smiled.

"You look adorable." She said, easing her way over to me. I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"You would be surprised by how much we have in common." I said, looking back to the doorway. There wasn't anyone there, and I figured it was just my paranoia getting the better of me.

"Have you told anypony else about this?" She asked.

"Yeah. Both Princess Celestia and Luna know about this form. I only have five ponies I've told as of now. It worked out pretty good for the most part, but I'm just worried about what will happened to me if I go public with this." I said, remembering what had happened with The Foundation.

"Five?" She asked, not sure who the other pony was.

"You, Ditzy, Dinky, Celestia and Luna. I've thought about telling someone else, but I'm putting that one on hold for now." I said, a small frown on my face.

"Well, I think I know somepony. She's a huge human fanatic, and will do anything to meet one." She said. Really? Who?

"And that pony is?" I asked. She looked at me with a slight amount of worry.

"Do you happen to know who Lyra Heartstrings is?"

"No, not really." I said, my mind going blank for a second.

"Well, once mom gets better, I think we should give her a visit. She lives in Ponyville Apartments with her friend Sweetie Drops. But we just call her Bon Bon." She said.

Hold up.

"Did you say Bon Bon?" I asked. She nodded her head in response.

"Weird. I actually think I did meet her. On my way to find Silver Shot, I talked to her a bit. She seemed nice mare." I said. Amethyst looked surprised, and smiled.

"Then you know she likes Humans, right?" She asked.

"Not when I met her, no." I said.

"Morning." Said Ditzy, walking into the room and seeing me. Her eyes widened and she walked over to me and leaned out her head. Confused, I just began stroking her mane and dragging my nails across her scalp.

She shuddered from this, much to my confused amusement, and leaned into my hand more. Amethyst got a warm smile and grabbed some cereal and milk. It looked like it was oats and flakes.

"Any plans for today?" I asked, looking over her adorably melted form. She cooed and managed a whimpered 'no' in her voice.

"What about work?" I asked. She immediately pulled away and gasped.

"I've got work to do!" She yelled, dashing towards her upstairs room to get ready. I raised an eyebrow, at that. Was this a normal thing? Quickly finishing my oatmeal, I transformed back into my pony form and went into the living room. It had a few magazines here and there, so I could look at those for a bit.

"..."

"..."

"Nah. Not my style." I said aloud after reading the first few pages. They were science magazines and I had yet to find one on magic. Perhaps Twilight had a few books on the matter.

I heard Ditzy flying down the stairs in her uniform, wearing a cap as well. It looked cute on her, and I smiled.

"Heading out to work? It's only 7:35." I said. She noticed and let out a breath of relief.

"Oh, thanks. I thought I was going to be late again." She said, going into the kitchen and coming back with a protein bar.

She hopped next to me and began eating. I smiled at her as she ate and noticed that Dinky was getting up. She had brushed her coat, mane and tail, and was heading towards the kitchen, possibly for something to eat. I noticed that they didn't have a lot of food to spare, so I took the liberty of filling all of their open spaces with non-perishable foods. And if they are destroyed somehow, I made it to where they will regenerate after several seconds.

"Dinky, did you say good morning to Franz!" Called Ditzy through mouthfuls of multiplying food.

"G-good morning, sir!" said the little filly quietly. I smiled and got off the couch.

"Morning young one. How fares the day so far?" I said, heading into the kitchen. When she saw me, she had a look of fright and fear. It twisted my chest like a vise crushing a wet rag. That other guy must've done something horrible to make her act like this.

Or I'm reading too far into it and she's like a human kid and get's shy around new people.

"How are you?" I asked, in a gentle tone. She looked a little less scared when she saw me lower my voice. I saw Amethyst washing her bowl with her magic, and keeping a close eye on me.

"I-I'm good." She said, looking at all the cereal I had brought. I saw that I might have made a bit too much, since the entire top shelf was just filled with cereal. You couldn't put anything in there without the cereal getting in the way somehow. I saw her horn had the faintest of cracks on the tip.

"Are you scared of me? I don't think I'm scary. Am I?" I asked. She looked a bit nervous, but shook her head.

"Is it because I'm a Prince?" I asked. She gave a slight nod.

"Are you going to be our new daddy?" She asked. I blanked out for a second. What?

Amethyst stopped and I could hear Ditzy begin to cough out a piece of bar I assume she had choked on from hearing her.

"Well, uh... we're..." I said, feeling my face get warmer at the idea. Amethyst looked at me with a shocked look and I heard Ditzy let out a loud eep noise. Dinky giggled at that, and I smiled.

"Are you serious?!" Asked Amethyst. She looked shocked and I decided to be honest with Dinky.

"Well, Ditzy and I are... In the works, but if all goes well, it's possible." I said, a small, nervous smile ever present on my face. I was tackled from behind and found Ditzy with her hooves wrapped around my neck, nuzzling my back.

I gulped.

I didn't know what to do from here. I could see Amethyst smiling at me, and realized that this was a prank, or a weird test of sorts.

"She's not serious, right?" I asked. Ditzy spoke up with a hint of amusement.

"I took a risk and it worked out pretty good. It was nice to see you look flustered." She said, removing herself from my body.

"I... well I was being honest." I said, getting up. I looked at the time, and it was close to 8:00 now.

"It's almost eight, we should probably get going." I said. Ditzy had a look of realization, and grabbed the rest of her infinity protein bar, and made a mad dash for it, saying goodbye and to have a good day in school for Dinky.

"So, no plans besides taking Dinky to school?" I asked. We were at the door and I had put my cloak and armor back on.

"Yeah. Can you... walk us to the school?" She asked, a hint of fear in her voice. I could tell why she would want me to, and I was more then happy to escort them to school. Maybe even go on a mini-adventure with them if it called for it.

"Sure, no problem." I said, opening the door and walking out into the day.

We walked there in relative silence. I had a question, but decided to hold off until the right moment.

"So are you in a relationship with Princess Luna? You don't have to tell me, I'm just curious." Said Amethyst suddenly. I was taken off guard by this question, and frowned slightly. I looked around for any reporters or anyone in general. There were a few ponies a small distance away, well out of earshot.

"It's... complicated." I said. It was actually going fine, but I just didn't know what I wanted out of that relationship. I didn't want to break it off just because I wasn't sure, and not to mention about her being very starved of my past presence. I wanted everyone to be happy. That includes both Luna and I.

"I can tell. You look stressed." She said. I hung my head a bit lower. Was it really that noticeable?

"Well, if it makes you feel better, when I had my first coltfriend, he wasn't exactly the most generous pony. He would always try and start a herd with some other mares he had found randomly. He also told me that I was being a hindrance on his life, and decided to dump me for another couple of mares." She said. I noticed that Dinky was being neutral about this, putting on a blank face.

"How is this supposed to apply?" I asked. It sounded like it was some sort of life lesson she was trying to tell me.

"What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't always work out in the end. I thought I had found the one with him, and he had turned around and hurt me. Have you done that to Princess Luna before?" She asked. I remember Luna saying I betrayed her, but with who?

I tried to remember, but my head began to throb after a few seconds. I shook it off and looked at her and Dinky.

"I think I may have done so. But I don't remember how it all went down." I said. I noticed the Schoolyard and saw several foals and a cerise mare with light rose mane and tail. She had a trio of large smiling flowers on her flank for her mark, and grey green eyes.

We approached the school and she noticed us. She immediately waved at us and Dinky smiled and ran towards the school. Amethyst waved back and I hid under my hood. I didn't want her to see me just yet.

"Hello Amethyst! I was beginning to think that you weren't coming to drop off Dinky." She said, looking over her and my hidden form. I made my mask fold over my face as to not draw as much attention.

"Who might you be sir?" She asked, looking directly at me. I closed my eyes and thought about a name.

"I'm Streak Silverway. Nice to meet you." I said, changing my voice to Spiderman's voice. The Tom Holland one, not the original, unfortunately. She lifted her hoof for a bump and I did the same. I just made my armor form a realistic hoof for this occasion, and she didn't seem to notice.

"I'm Cheerliee, and isn't it a little too early to celebrate Nightmare Night? I thought that it isn't due for another few months." She inquired. What did she say?

"Well, I decided to try it a little earlier. Just to get it's issues out of the way and whatnot." I said. She looked at me with a smile, while Amethyst seemed a bit shocked at my voice changing.

"Well, it does have some similarities to Prince Franz's design of armor." She said, looking over my body.

"Especially that device on your ankle. What does it do?" She asked. I was beginning to sweat a bit, but my armor's cooling system kicked in to stop it.

"It's just for show. I wanted it to look like a ninja and see everypony's reaction. And to test it out beforehand" I said. Both Amethyst and Cheerilee looked at me with degrees of confusion. I had a feeling that they didn't know what a ninja was.

"What's a ninja?" Asked Cheerilee.

"It's just a concept I'm working on. It's basically somepony who wears all black and goes do some secret mission either in a group or alone." I explained. I thought they had ninja's here. Or at least stealth operatives. They had a look of understanding, and smiled.

"That does sound like an interesting topic. Maybe you would like to teach the class about it sometime?" Cheerilee asked. I got a look of worry, that was ultimately hidden with my mask.

"Well, I don't know. I was kinda busy this week. Maybe next week?" I inquired. She thought about it for a moment.

"That sounds like a great idea! When are you available?" She questioned. I thought about it for a second.

"I think a Friday would be ideal. To build up excitement on the little ones. I know somepony who has other topics that might interest the children." I said. I was referring to myself, but she didn't know about that.

"Great! I'll have the both of you come over! That way the two of you can teach the class while I supervise. It sounds like you guys have some really great ideas!" She said, getting excited. I decided to cut her off before she confirmed anything.

"Well, he can only be here if stay at his place and take care of his pet. Maybe I can get somepony to babysit it, but who knows." I said, digging myself a deeper hole. Why the hell do I have to be so friendly! Just say no!

"Oh, well that works out too. So who can I expect?" She asked.

"You can expect my friend to come. He's pretty nervous around crowds, but he gets his job done." I said, describing myself slightly.

"Perfect! I'll see you later Mr. Silverway." She said, heading back into the small school.

"Yeah." I mumbled. She didn't hear me, and happily walked in the building.

"I didn't know you could change your voice." Said Amethyst. I just let out a sigh. I needed a break. I remembered the scroll in my pocket, and decided that once I get out of eyesight, I can crack it open and take a look inside of it.

"I didn't know how big of a hole I dug myself." I said. I turned back around to her.

"What do you usually do this time of day?" I asked. She blanked out for a second, before a look of realization hit her.

"I have to work at ten to two. That's the most hours they usually give me for my workplace." She said. I nodded, not wanting to pry into her daily life.

"Well, I'm gonna go back to your place and grab a scroll I left behind. Maybe hang around town for a bit before heading back to Canterlot." I said, lying about the scroll to get away from where I was. I wanted to figure out where the last Storage Unit was. I knew the others were in the Canterlot Research and Development wing, but it was the last one that had me interested. Other bearers. What could that mean?

"Oh. Okay. I'll see you later then?" She asked.

"No, silly. I gotta grab my scroll and then we can say goodbye." I said, lowering my mask and turning around to their home. She let out a 'oh' and followed me.

Once we made it back to their home, I "grabbed" my scroll and some more food. I didn't think I had to worry about gaining any weight, so I could eat as much as want.

I looked to the necklace my two friends gave me. I felt it lightly vibrating and touched it with my hoof. It said that Luna was in Canterlot, around the the training room. I didn't question it, and opened the scroll, breaking the wax seal and looking inside.

It was a letter from Luna.

"Dear Franz.

I hoped thou has found the perpetrator who had taken Pen's mare. I await for your return to Canterlot so we may spend more time together.

Another thing I wished to discuss was about the audience from the match. Some of them were delegates from neighboring countries who had traveled from distant lands. Many of which were impressed by your duel and wished to speak with you.

However, I do not think they are here to congratulate you. I believe that they are here to try and offer sums of wealth for some of the technology you have created. They were delegates from the Griffon Empire, and they are very aggressive when trade and their interests are at play.

I hope thou are safe, and are not approached by anyone who wishes to do you harm.

Much Love,

Luna."

I reread the letter several times. Griffon delegates? Wanting my tech? I think I'll hold off giving Twilight her armor for a bit longer.

"Alright. See you later Amethyst!" I called from the door. I still had my cloak on, and after hearing her say a muffled goodbye back, I left to the town hall to pay Ditzy a quick visit.

And was stopped by a scene like no other.

There were bunnies everywhere, eating flowers and plants. They were in bushes, burrows, and in trees alike, speaking Vietnamese. Wait, they're speaking what?!

"What the hell happened?" I said to no one in particular. I began wandering around town and saw Roseluck and her squad. They were all laying on the ground, seemingly playing dead.

"Nani the fuck?" I said to myself, passing them as everywhere I looked, I saw bunnies everywhere/

'Reminds me of that one Hawaiian island.' I thought.

I saw Fluttershy trying to gather them all and trying to take them home, failing quite horridly.

"Fluttershy, what happened here?" I asked. She saw me and she looked desperate for help.

"F-Franz, please help me!" She said, trying to make the bunnies listen to her, and failing miserably.

"Hold on." I said. I went into my Data Pad and typed in a few key codes.

"Follow New Protocol: Collect Bunnies." I called out loud. Fluttershy looked at me with confusion.

"Don't worry, it'll just take a second." I responded.

Blueblood had managed to get back inside of Prince Franz's room. He was looking for any set of spare armor he might have left behind. And sure enough, there right on the bed, was the set that he had used to beat Shining Armor.

Blueblood smiled deviously. He could now get what he wanted the whole time. Just some extra bits he could spend on his plan to get a mare.

Yes, he could get any mare he desired, but he was after a specific mare.

"Fleur De Lis, you shall be mine after I beat that peasant of a stallion you call a husband!" Cackled Blueblood in a very villainous manner.

The armor suddenly sparked to life, and flew out the open balcony door, disappearing from his view. Blueblood only stood there, not sure what had happened.

"Am I cursed?" He said, getting agitated with a tint of fear.

After a few minutes of my armor arrived and started breaking off into small drones. I had to use both of sets I had on me to collect all of the small bunnies. It took over five hours to get them all, not counting the ones who were defiant. I heard that it was Applejack who had done this.

I wanted to go and tell her that she needed help and that she should rest, but Twilight was already on it. Apparently she managed to get the message across and Applejack accepted the help, for once.

"Oh, thank you Franz for helping me collect all of the brand new baby bunnies. I don't know what I would do if you weren't around to help." Said Fluttershy. Her presence was a nice refresher from being around Luna for quite some time.

"Again, it's no problem. I just happened to be in the neighborhood." I said, now wearing my original capsules. My stealth and sparring capsules being balanced on my back with my wings.

"Still, if you hadn't been here, these bunnies would have eaten all of the flowers Roseluck, Lily, and Daisy worked so hard on to keep in pristine condition. They would have put them out of business!" She said. Out of business? Wow. I didn't ever hear about bunnies putting ponies out of business. Actually, I don't think I've ever heard of ponies going out of business at all.

"Well good thing I was here then." I said, starting to feel awkward. I was currently heading to the Twilight's to spend the night. I hear that tomorrow, we were going to help Applejack with her work. It'll be nice, and I wanted to get more practice in getting my strength in check.

The next day came far too soon, and I heard Twilight downstairs, trying to get me out of bed.

"Come on, we're gonna be late to help Applejack! Just get out of the bathroom so I can get ready!" She called.

"No, I don't think I will." I said through the door. I had locked the door and put a Shielding Disk on the door to keep her out so I could do my morning routine undisturbed. I liked to have my privacy, and apparently Twilight didn't know that.

"Just open the door! I need to use the bathroom!"

"A small price to pay for salvation." I said, smiling as I brushed my hair for that shiny look it gave off. I'll never know why it does that.

"Please! I'm gonna burst!"

"You may think this is suffering. No, this is salva-" I was cut off as the door was blasted down by a large magic blast. I barely had enough time to move out of the way, since I just slowed time.

"GET OUT!" She screamed, her eyes glowing a fiery white. I complied and promptly jumped out the open window, not caring to listen to her surprised call.

I flapped my wings and landed, before walking back to the front entrance. Fun fact, which is pretty common knowledge to them, they have yet to invent locks. Most of the ponies in Ponyville didn't use them. Either latches or some form of small blockage spell.

I walked right in and Spike, reading a book about something. What it was, I didn't know. It was just a book, maybe a comic.

"Franz! Why did you jump out the window! you could have been hurt!" She said, glaring at me.

"The hardest choices require the strongest wills." I said, not paying attention to the mare who had just walked in. I think she was returning a book.

"I like that. Can I use that quote?" She asked. I turned around and saw Lyra Heartstrings.

"Were it so easy." I said in a low tone. She frowned and I laughed.

"Yeah, sure. I don't mind." I said, ruffling my wings a bit. They were a bit tense, since I don't use them very often. Maybe I should fly more.

"Come on. Lets go." I said, pulling Twilight and Spike towards the door. I was feeling pretty excited to help Applejack, since I used to work on a ranch for a while before coming to Equestria.

"Okay, lets go." She mumbled.

Five Hours Later

I wasn't even breaking a sweat. I thought is was summer, not fall! Although the same couldn't be said for the rest of the girls. Almost all of them were in some form of tiredness. Be it from physical work, to magical overuse.

"How bout ya'll take a little break. I got some fine apple juice waitin' for ya." Called Applejack. I saw that she had some bottles of juice, which was weird to me, since I was used to fizzy drinks. Not sparkling water, the other, better counterpart, soda.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked over. I was getting a bit thirsty, and I could use a break.

"Ah can't thank ya'll enough for the help. Ah was acting a bit stubborn." She said.

"A bit?" Asked Twilight. Okay, what the fuck is going on? Are they doing some sort of skit or something?

"Okay, a might stubborn. And I'm awful sorry." She added. I felt as though there was some sort of god, watching me make the mistake of being here, and laughing at me.

"Now ah know the town gave me the Prize Pony Award, but the real reward, is having the six of you as my friends." She said. It was kinda heartwarming to be included in a thank you, even though I wasn't here for the most part.

"Especially you Franz. I heard how you were telling everypony to look out for me, and I thank you, for trying to be there." She said. Everyone awwed at me, while I just folded up my helmet to save the embarrassment they were trying giving me.

"Thanks." I responded stiffly. They all laughed and we enjoyed our drinks.

"Whew, that applebucking sure made me hungry." Said Rainbow.

"And I've got the perfect treat." Said Spike, pulling up some half eaten muffins. I wasn't going to try them, since they were already partially eaten.

"Ew, Spike, I threw those away! Where did you even get them?" Asked Pinkie, looking at him with disgust.

"From the trash!"

I instantly thought of just taking them and incinerating them with my arc reactors, but that would be a waste of the power cells energy.

"Ew!" Cried the girls.

"Hey, Spike, toss me one." I said. I folded up my armor on my hoof, and readied my weapon. Screw it.

"No, Franz!"
"Don't eat them!"
"Yuck!"

Spike ignored them, and tossed one to me.

In an instant, I shot it out of the sky and watched it sprinkle into small bits about several miles away from us.

"Wow, lets do that again!" Cheered Spike. I rolled my eyes, and levitated the rest of the ruined baked goods and deleted them. The process took only a second, and they were gone.

"Thank you, darling. I couldn't stand to look at them anymore." Said Rarity, wiping a bead of sweat off her forehead.

"Anytime." I said.

I was beginning to enjoy Ponyville, even though I had limited access to it.

But it was worth it in the end.

Right?

Edit: More of the same, but better!
