Canterlot Courtyard / Princess Celestia, Luna / Time: 1 Month after Delta's Passing

"It's been a while since Delta's passing, hasn't it Lulu?" Celestia had asked Luna, therefore the mood had turned from calm, to sad.

"Yes, it has Tia, but I will miss them, quite dearly. I certainly miss Drew and his randomness, and Nick's sense of humor." Luna had replied back, with a calm tone. Then, she had sensed something the she had not sensed since the arrival of Delta, there was something out in the courtyard.

As they stood and stared at Delta's statue, it began to glow, it was so intense, Celestia and Luna had to conjure up sunglasses. They stood and stared at the statue as it began to restore in color, turned out they weren't dead, they just turned to stone, and for some unknown reason reanimated, bringing Drew, and his friends back to life.

"Ughh, you know, getting blown up by nukes, that's the shit I don't like." Drew said, while his team was nodding in agreement. He had noticed the Princesses standing there, Luna was in complete shock while Celestia was in tears.

"Uhmm, why the long faces Princesses? It look's like you've missed us." Jhon said, while the whole Delta Force fainted due to fatigue.

Knowing that Delta is back, the Princesses felt like a giant weight has been lifted, since they're alive, they could surprise the girls, but since the statue is gone, they needed to make another monument. Luna had tended to the newly revived humans in the hospital, while Celestia wrote a letter to the girls to come to Canterlot Hospital.

"How are they doctor?" Luna had asked with great worry, not wanting them to die again.

"Princess Luna, they are actually doing well, they should be discharged by the end of the day, they are just worn down from mysteriously turning to stone, and them changing back all of a sudden." the doctor had replied back, Luna understood as she went into Drew's room, wondering how he and Nick had managed to survive two nuke blasts, not knowingly how, but it's surely impossible to pull off. She left Drew's room to go check on the others, as their condition was the same, they all just needed some rest.

The Mane six had just made it to the hospital, as Princess Celestia pointed to a very large room, containing the members of Delta 0-1 alive and well, but very bored because they are under the doctors orders to stay in bed. Everypony was just so shocked to see Delta Team alive, it's been a month since the funeral, and the ponies just went back to their regular lives, but to see them again, it just blew their minds.

"Hey everypony, kept you waiting huh?" Drew just let out a chuckle, he said in a mocking tone as he was being squeezed to death, by Rainbow and Twilight. Once they broke the hug, the mares just squeezed every one of the humans until their faces turned purple and was gasping for air. Once they had been discharged Drew had challenged Applejack to a drink-off, Rainbow and his squad was giving Drew their full support, while Applejack was getting support from the ponies who knew her drinking skills and what she's capable of.

"Well Drew, you comin' back te life 'n' all, I'll gladly accept yer challenge, but be warned Drew, yer in fer a surprise, meet ya at the bar tonight at 8:30. We'll do it then." Applejack smirked and boarded the last train back to Ponyville.

Ponyville / Mane 6, Delta / Time: Thursday, 8:30 PM

"CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG!" Everypony was chanting while I had finished my third mug of hard cider, I knew I had this in the bag, all I had to do was drink more than her, and outlast her, AJ was already taking a beating, she had underestimated how much I could drink, I've been drinking moonshine since I was 18, yes, I drank illegally, so compared to moonshine, hard cider was nothing. Next thing you knew I just kicked back and relaxed as I finished my last mug of cider, I was still sober too, on the other hoof Applejack was really drunken and had passed out on her 15th mug. I didn't know ponies are such lightweights though, the hard cider didn't even give me a buzz. Once I had won, Rainbow went over to hi-hoof/fived me, and everypony that was watching our competition was just astonished on how I was still sober. I had told them,

"Well, to stay sober while you drink is an acquired ability for such an experienced drinker like me. The only drink that gets to me is Applejack Daniels and Luna's Moonshine." I had told the crowd, finally understanding my situation.

"Way to go Drew, you managed to beat the most hardest drinker in Ponyville, how does it feel to be called the new Hardest Drinker on Ponyville?" Twilight had asked with that gleam in her eyes.

"Well, it doesn't feel any different when I was the Hardest Drinking challenger." I had replied back with a sarcastic voice, I said picking up Applejack and giving her a piggyback ride back to Sweet Apple Acres, to be an Earth Pony, she wasn't all that heavy, maybe a little heavier than Rainbow knowing that she's a pegasus, but I now know ponies in general are relatively light. I heard AJ mumble something, "Thank ya kindly for taking me back home Drew." As i dropped her off with Big Mac, she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, and fell limp over Big Mac's back. As for me, I went back to the Library, I didn't need a job anymore since Celestia had paid me so much for stopping Lionwings, but I came to the spa or the bar just to work for free, from Celestia I had managed to get paid 50 Million Bits, I told her that I didn't need all of that, but she said it's the least she could do from putting us on the spot almost killing us, I felt happy, yet full of guilt taking that from her, but she insisted on me taking the money. Hell since I have so much I should buy a house for my squadmates and I, I figured that I should do that first thing when the shops opened up tomorrow.

The Next Day...

I had just woke up, getting on my newly finished civilian clothes, and went out the door, I was told by Twilight that if I want to stay here, I would have to go talk the Mayor Mare, so, she pointed into the direction of town hall so I could go speak to her.

"Uhmm, miss? Are you Mayor Mare?" I had asked the gray haired pony. She nodded, asking me what I wanted.

"Well, I was wondering if I can purchase a house, for five?" She just looked at me, in surprise, wondering why I wanted such a big house. She also said that it was very expensive, but I think I could manage.

"Would you like a mortgage or pay the house in full? The cost is 250,000 bits my good sir. With a mortgage its half that." she said, hoping that I would pay property taxes and the mortgage. I had told her that I would pay in full, she just stared at me in disbelief, until I showed her all the bits to pay it off. She said, "SOLD!" And then fainted, well, I had just got the guys and I a new house, apparently, it had four bathrooms, two kitchens, along with 5 rooms and closets. I swear this thing was a freakin' mansion, I had no idea why they had one built on the outskirts of Ponyville.

Me and the boys have decided to go check the place out, when we went inside, it was unbelievable, there was a huge living room, a basement, everything! We all went to go pick our rooms, all we needed now was to go buy some furniture. I had Pinkie Pie come along with me because she practically an get me a discount any store in town with her barter skills, every piece of furniture like 50% off too, which was a score for me, considering that I had to get five queen sized beds, towels for bathing, couches, stuff for our kitchens, stuff for our bathroom, and so on. It had been a few hours since we got back, to see our house fully furnished. I had thanked Pinkie for her usefulness.

"Oh no problem Drew, anytime, BYE!" As she left, she had already seen the inside of the house, before and after our furniture had been moved in. She had planned a housewarming party, everypony would be there of course, it has been a while since the party when we first came here, plus, she needed to throw Jhon and Kaptn a, 'Welcome to Equestria' party, she hadn't done that yet. I had just entered my room, it had been the master bedchamber because I was the one who bought the house, it was also so Twilight wouldn't have to put up with our shenanigans anymore.

"Well Drew, I see you have connections here in Ponyville huh?" Kaptn had asked, I nodded saying that it's good to be friends with the Elements of Harmony, you can hang out, talk, ask for favors, anything really. Once I had plopped myself on to the bed, I felt like I was at rest, until I heard a knock on the door. I moaned as I got out of bed to open the door, seeing that it was Twilight, I had asked her what she wanted.

"Well, I was wondering if I can cast a spell on you and your friends. There's no side effects, but the spell let's me turn non-ponies, into ponies." I really wanted to know what it's like to be a pony, so I immediately agreed to it, Twilight had never been happier, but my team wouldn't want anything to do with it. Well, at least she has one labrat to test on, and it was enough for her. So she and I went out into my front yard, a giant field, it was a perfect place for me to play some virtual TDM with my squad, but for now, it was Twilight's testing area. Once she had cast the spell on me, I felt like it was changing my form, because it was meant to. As I changed, it turned out I had wings, my cutie mark was Delta Force's Symbol on my butt. I had took to the air as Twilight just looked at me, stunned. Turned out I still had my blue eyes , but my skin and fur were completely different, my coat was grey and I had electric blue flowing mane. but once I looked on my forehead, I had a horn too, just like the princesses. I landed, just in shock that I had turned into an alicorn, I had no idea how, just like I didn't know how I survived two nuclear blasts, but the odds of turning into an alicorn?! That's just crazy, there's only a 0.05% chance of turning into an alicorn, but apparently, I was one of those 0.05%. I had learned to fly just like that, Twilight was just looking at me amazed that I learned to fly so quickly, but I didn't know I could manipulate magic yet, so I didn't learn any of that. A few hours late I had turned back into human form. I liked being a pony for a short time, but I had missed my fingers. The next thing I knew Twilight was gone, running back to her library, while I just walked nonchalantly back into my house.' I wonder if Twilight would let me prank a few ponies the next time she cast the shapeshifting spell on me, tricking some ponies into thinking that there's a new alicorn in town. ' I thought as I went back into my room, grabbing a beer on the way, as I started to read some books that Twilight had lent me.

Switch to Twilight's PoV

Twilight had just been so surprised that Drew had turned into an alicorn, so she immediately wrote to the Princess about her encounter.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I had asked Drew to let me use that spell that turned non-ponies into ponies, he had agreed, but when I cast the spell, something unexpected happened. He turned into an alicorn, a flipping ALICORN! I was just so speechless, so I had just stood there watching him fly around in his new form until he changed back into a human. I await your immediate response, maybe this was the cause for him and his friends surviving those nuclear blasts. Maybe this was the reason he had protected his friends by unexpectedly teleporting them away from harm, and then the second time he turned them to stone with a protected field so they wouldn't take in radiation.

Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle

While she was in the kitchen brewing tea for herself and Spike, she wondered what the rest of the team would look like in pony form, but for now, she waited for the princess to write back.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Your assumptions of what happened recently to Drew and Co. may be true, but I have yet to see Drew as an alicorn myself. Not to mention, I want to see the rest of the team in their pony forms as well. If the team wants, I have a spell that can give them the ability to turn into a pony and back into human at their own will. I will come down tomorrow to Ponyville to give them that option, in which I hope they will agree to it. Drew has to know what the costs of being part alicorn are before he makes this decision, because his friends will not survive as long as he will, so give him time to think about it. Also to note the fact that he's the only other alicorn besides me, Luna, and Cadence.

From, Princess Celestia

Drew's PoV. The next morning

I had told the team everything, all they did was let out the occasional chuckle, but they had believed everything, they all believed me because I had my 'I'm nothing but serious' expression, so they knew when I lied, and when I told the truth. as I finished up telling them about my encounter, it all made sense to me now, those nuclear explosions I survived wouldn't be possible, plus, I looked so young for my age, I am 36, but it looks as if I'm not even in my early 20's, no gray hair, no bags under my eyes, my hair color being so fresh looking. It just hit me like a pile of bricks, I wondered what the boys would look like if they were to be turned into ponies, but that would have to wait, because I heard a knock at the door, I answered the door revealing that it was Twilight and Princess Celestia. I had them come in inviting them to come sit on one of my three living room couches.

"So princess, I assume you're here about what happened yesterday evening?" I had asked, taking the words right out of her mouth, instead of speaking, she nodded.

"About that, if that causes any trouble, I'm very sorry and I won't ask Twilight to change me into a pony anymore." The princess chuckled, "Drew, I'm actually here to give you and your friends here the opportunity to be able to change from your human form to pony form at your own will, I have done this many times in the past 1,000 years, there are no known side-effects either." She said, the team and I was in shock. We all nodded our heads, wanting to be able to do that since I had told them about me being part alicorn. She was giddy like a happy school filly to see us nodding in agreement.

"Also, Drew, you know about being an Alicorn right?" I had told her what my age really was, she had told me that's natural for being part or full alicorn. She casted the spell on us, all we had to do was think about it in our brains. All of a sudden our human forms were no more, seeing that my squad were all now ponies. I tried to think of the reasons of why which one of my team was that kind of pony. Nick, was smart and had a sense of humor, so he turned into an unicorn, Jhon, for being so fast and agile, he turned into a pegasus, and Kaptn, for being strong and hefty, turned into an earth pony. We had decided to keep this between Celestia, The Mane 6, and ourselves so we wouldn't attract attention. With me being a male alicorn, I knew that was going to be hard to keep it a secret. Jhon had red eyes, and a blue coat, while Nick, had amber eyes and a black coat, and Kaptn had Green eyes, and a dark purple coat. Their manes stayed consistent to their hair style when they were humans, but the color changed. Jhon had a blonde scale mane like Rainbow Dash except it was yellow, Nick had a black mane with white streak highlight, and Kaptn had a black mane as well except he had a blonde highlight in his. As we all separated to explore Ponyville, as ponies of course, everywhere I went I was getting mixed stares of fear, and respect. Even some of the mares gave their stares that looked like that 'Dat Ass' meme back on Earth, but now I think it would be considered 'Dat Flank' here, in Equestria. As I started to look around town, Pinkie Pie tackled me to the ground, asking how I got my cutie mark, I had told her everything while whispering into her ear, I had made her Pinkie Promise that she would tell only the others besides Twilight about our situation, because she already knew. Just as she left, I took off into the sky, flying above Ponyville, deciding that I wanted to step on a cloud for the first time, and boy was it comfortable, I had fell asleep in an instant.

Rainbow Dash's PoV

I was there, trying to take my daily nap in the clouds. Until a seemingly familiar looking Pony flew up here to rest on the cloud I was originally going to rest on.

"Hey!" I tried to yell at him, but he was already fast asleep, I caught a glimpse of his cutie mark. In an instant the knife and the triangle started filling my mind with images of Delta. I went over to wake him up, but he was already awake, looking in my direction as I flew over to him.

"Oh hey Rainbow, how you doin?" The mysterious Alicorn had asked, I wondered how he knew my name, until it hit me.

"Drew? Is that you?" I had asked, he gave me a warm smile and nodded.

"Jhon should be here somewhere too, he's a pegasus now, you two will get along nicely, I know Jhon could easily match your speed, so it could give you some competition." Drew had yelled up to me, looking around for his buddy. As he changed back into human he was still standing on the cloud, bringing it down with him.

"How did you do that?" I had asked Drew, now back in human form. He told me everything about yesterday, and what happened this morning. I was now pretty much up to date, with the whole Alicorn thing.

"Y'know Drew, you look good with an electric, flowing blue mane, it suits you." I said, touching it, it really was made of electricity, because it gave me a little shock when I touched it, it wasn't much, but it was like when you rub your hooves on a carpet and then you touch somepony. That shock had given me a mini-massage, it calmed all my nerves, so I wasn't stressed anymore, or at least that's what it felt like.

"I didn't notice my new mane being made of electricity, I was busy flying around the place, but that figures out why I keep hearing a crackling sound when I get angry." Drew said in question.

"Good luck being the only male Alicorn in existence! You'll need it because the mares will be all over you!" I said while flying away.
I know you're all over him. Teehee!
' Oh shut up brain! I don't want to hear it! '
