"Wha? But, I told you before! I don't have a brother!", Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"You don't remember a brother, Rainbow Dash. You're going to go to Canterlot tomorrow and take a blood test. Their going to compare it to Corrosive's and see if they match.", I said.

"B-Blood test? Y-you mean with n-needles?", Rainbow Dash stammered nervously while slinking back down into the couch.

"Yes Rainbow Dash. Are you afraid of needles?"

Rainbow Dash looked down sheepishly at the floor and shuddered.

"Uh...no?"

I narrowed my eyes and she got right up.

"Alright! I am afraid of needles! Can you just...uh...not tell anypony else?"

"Of course Dashie.", I smiled.

"Anyways, the Nightmare Moon Festival is in a few days. What are you going to go as?"


Oh shit. I completely forgot about the festival when I was at the party and when Corrosive was beating the crap out of me. I just scratched my head nervously as Rainbow Dash smiled suspiciously at me.

"Let me guess, you don't know what you're going to go as."

"Well, what are you going to go as?", I asked Dashie.

"Well, I though about it for a while, and I think me being a Wonderbolt for the 5th year in the row has kind of lost its flare. So, I'm going to be a Shadowbolt!"

I immediately took a look of concern.

"From what I read recently at Twilight's library, when Nightmare Moon tried to cast Equestria in eternal night, aren't the Shadowbolts a trail to test if you would ditch your friends for your own desires?"

"Uh, yeah. But it didn't work! I just thought I would try something completely different this year. You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course not. Be who you want to be, Rainbow Dash. I've dress in some more offensive stuff at one point."

I once dress as a Viet Cong on a Halloween night when I was able to go outside. I think that was what I wore when me and my friends started the massive paintball fight.

"So, what do you thin you should wear?"

I thought about it for a solid 30 seconds and I pulled up my laptop from my duffle bag and turned it on. I went on Google and typed up "Samurai".

"What's a Sa-ma-rih?", Rainbow Dash tried to pronounce Samurai.

"It's samurai, Rainbow Dash."

"That's what I said."

I rolled my eyes.

"A samurai is a ancient warrior who fought in a different country called Japan a long time ago. I have some samurai heritage in me, and I even do a martial art that samurai use."

"Wow! That sounds cool!"

"Here's a picture."

Rainbow Dash looked at the picture a little confused, and she turned to me.

"Ugh, what he's wearing would probably give Rarity a heart-attack. If a samurai is a warrior, then where is his armor and weapon?"

"The cloths are armor. It's leather with metal scales interwoven between them. It doesn't sound like much, but it is very resistant. His weapons is the wooden looking thing on his side. It is a sheath that holds his weapon, the katana. Here, let me show you a picture of a katana."

"Doesn't look like it could do much. The Equestrian guards' sword are much bigger."

"The katana is not meant for its size, it is meant for its slicing ability. Believe it or not, this was one of the deadliest blades ever crafted. I even have a wooden model that i use for practicing my martial art, kendo."

"You do martial arts? I do karate!"

Karate? That is a martial art that humans practiced back on Earth. There is something weird about this world.

"Interesting. Ya know, I think I could be a samurai for the Nightmare Moon Festival. I would look so awesome!"

Rainbow Dash giggled a bit and I smiled.

"Well Ben, I think Rarity could probably help you with that. I mean, she's done all sorts of cloths, not that I'm really interested with it."

"Thanks Rainbow Dash."

I walked out the house and my wings shot out my back and sent my flying down towards Ponyville. I flew through a few clouds and touched down gently on the ground. I looked around and I set off towards the Carousal Boutique. I walked a bit and some white unicorn with a blue mane walked up to me and asked me for my time.

"Hello. Are you that guy from the party?"

"Uh, yes?"

"Oh, my name is Vinyl Scratch, and I just loved those songs that you played at the party! Did you make them?"

I scratched my head.

"Uh, no. Ya see, different artists produce different songs, and they realize the albums for people to buy and listen to. Hey, aren't you that DJ that everypony was talking about at the party?"

The white mare took off her goggles and I was a little shocked at the sudden red eyes. Looked a bit like Corrosive's.

"Sure am. Ya think you could probably show me some other songs at one point?"

I looked off into the sky and thought about it for a minute.

"Of course, Vinyl."

"Wow! Thanks! I can believe I'm going to to some mixing with a human!"

I smiled and bid her farewell. I continued my walk towards the Carousal Boutique and eventually, I got to the boutique and knocked on the door. I heard something get knocked over inside.

"Aw horsefeathers.", a voice came from inside.

The door flew open and I saw the familiar white unicorn with the purple mane.

"Welcome to the Carousal...Ben! It's so nice to see you! What brings you here?"

"May I come inside?"

"Certainly!"

I walked inside and Rarity used her magic to shut the door after me. I looked around and I saw every possible fashion combination that anyone could think of.

"So, the Nightmare Moon Festival is coming up and I was thinking-"

"Oh! You want me to make you a costume? Certainly! What are going to be going as?"

I opened my laptop and pulled up the same picture. I guess Rarity had her hopes really high for me, because when she saw the picture, her jaw pretty much fell to the floor and she was rubbing her eyes to make sure that they weren't deceiving her. After he was done, she loked at me with a look that said: "R u serouz?"

"Uh, what is that?", she asked with a bit of a worried and disgusted expression on her face.

"It is a samurai, an ancient human warrior that is part of my heritage. I thought that you being an incredible fashion designer would make an incredible production of this."

Suddenly, she snapped back to a more pride look and put her hoof to her chest.

"Well! I have never been given an order like this, but I am sure I could produce something wonderful!"

"Oh, I forgot. Rarity, thanks for the tux at the presentation. I really appreciate it."

Rarity blushed and she thanked me back.

"So, what am I going to be working with on this, uh, what is this again?"

"Samurai armor. It is made with leather and interwoven metal scales. The leather must be very heard, let flexible and I would really love the golden crest on the helmet."

"I'm not very good with leather, or metal in that case, and it looks a little boxy too. But nonetheless! I shall succeed!"

I reached for the bag of bits that Celestia gave me and I opened it.

"So, should I pay up front or..."

"Oh, that won't be necessary!"

"Are you sure? This looks a little expensive."

"Well, I am the Element of Generosity after all."

"So I have read. I turns out that you and your friends are some sort of heros. Correct?"

"Well, I'd hate to boast, but yes, that's correct. And I bet Rainbow Dash isn't making you hear the end of it."

"You have no idea."

Rarity walked away, and I thanked her for her time. I walked outside and I decided to head back to Rainbow Dash's house. My wings emerged and I rocked forth. I sailed through the sky and did a few loops and a corkscrew just for the fun of it. I saw Rainbow Dash's house come into view and I walked towards the door. I knocked a few times.

"Hello? Rainbow Dash?"

No answer.

"Hello?"

No answer still.

"Hmph, must have gone out."

I opened the door and I walked inside. I headed up to the couch and took out my laptop.

"Ugh, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored."

I got the laptop out and decided to go onto Combat Arms. I loaded it up, and it had to get another update. I groaned, as updates take hours, and it slows down my computer so I couldn't do anything else. Suddenly, the bar filled all the way in three seconds, and I just stared dumbfounded at the sudden loaded update bar, and I just shrugged. I got on the game and I rented a few weapons, such as the M416 with ACOG and Suppressor, and an M200. I joined the oil rig map and in no time, I was kicking ass. My skills were a little rusty, but I quickly recovered and I began killing everything I saw. Headshot after headshot, and spraying and praying. I looted an RPG from a guy I just killed and I replaced my M200 that was out of ammo. I launched the rocket and killed two snipers that were hiding behind some crates. I was about to put a bullet into some n00b's head, when I heard the door of Rainbow Dash's house open, and quickly bashed shut with a great "SLAM!" I jumped off the couch and I saw Rainbow Dash quickly fly to her room in a cyan blur. And, I think I noticed a tear on her eye. A tear? This can't be good. I walked over to Rainbow Dash's room and I knocked softly on the door.

"Rainbow dash? Are you okay?"

I heard some sniffling coming from the room.

"I-I-I Don't want to talk right now!"

I stepped back from the multitude of the voice.

"Rainbow Dash? Are you crying?"

"I don't cry Ben!"

I looked down at the ground and I looked back up.

"Come on Dashie. What's wrong?"

I heard some hoof steps approaching the door and it squeaked open. Rainbow Dash had a few tears trickling down her eye, and she tried to wipe them away really fast. She sniffled and I came inside her room and sat down on her bed. She climbed up and sat herself down next to me and leaned against my shoulder. She sniffled one more time and looked at me with her tear filled magenta eyes.

Dawwww.

Ben, it's me, your brain. This r no time for dawwwws.

Stfu brain. Ur an asshole.

Fuck you.

Rainbow Dash began.

"I-Its nothing Ben. Its just s-some pegasi being mean to me."

I opened my eyes wide and I suddenly blurted out.

"JUST some pegasi being mean to you? You were crying! What the hell did they do to you?"

"Well, do you know what someponies think of me?"

"What?"

"They think I like other mares.", she said with her head down.

I was completely baffled. LESBIANISM?! ON A WORLD OF HORSES?! Okay, calm the fuck down Ben. Just sort this out right now.

"Why would they think of you like that way?"

"Well, they say that I act like a boy, and they always see me with a tom-coltish personality so they think I... (She was going to continue, but her crying cut her off.) And...and I used to date Applejack."

I did not change the look on my face.

"I don't think that you'll ever look at me the same way again. I-I just want it to stop! And now some pegasi are calling me "Rainbow Dick" and "Fillyfooler.", she said with a sob.

"Ben? Do you hate me now? Because...I..."

I pulled her into an embrace and I looked into her eyes.

"Rainbow Dash. I don't care if ponies think you like other mares. I think you're beautiful. Don't think that I would hate you for telling me this."

"Thank you Ben. I never had somepony who cared about me so much."

I stared out of the window and the sky was turning into a orange evening.

"Neither have I..."


YES! I did it! I have actually gotten one more chapter done this weekend! Ya'll enjoy last chapter's video?Also, sorry about the shortness.
