Link was waking up from his nap. From what he could tell, it was the middle of the day, around lunchtime. He rubbed his eyes and got out of bed. The guest bed was rather luxurious, but it was a bit too soft for Link's tastes. Didn't matter though, he slept on much worse before. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up.

At the same time, Stryker had finished his shower, and was now brushing his teeth. He was just glad that dentistry still applied to ponies, he was not getting Gingivitis today.

Deadpool was still asleep, wearing nothing but his underwear and his mask.

Nighty, nighty, nighty.

Shh... come here.

He he...

Deadpool snorted and turned to his side.

Nikolai, Harry and David were dead asleep. Nothing really could wake them up.

"David?" Celestia walked up to the human.

"Mmm, five more minutes Mom, it's Saturday."

"I'm sorry David, but it's Sunday, and we need to discuss a few things."

David groggily got up with his eyes encrusted. He looked at the princess and spoke.

"You know, I hadn't gotten a full nights sleep in weeks, give me this, will ya Tia." David slumped back into bed.

"Fine, five more minutes." Celestia trotted out of the room and closed the door.

Wade woke up when Celestia decided to bring in some bagels with eggs. Wade claimed that he liked everything bagels, so Celestia noted that. Nikolai would wake up when vodka was involved, so she opened a bottle in front of the Russian.

"Thank you, this hangover die with vodka."

"I doubt it, but glad to see you're up."

"Ahh, not so loud, hangover sucks balls, like sixth wife sucks balls in good way."

Celestia shook her head and went to Deadpool, who somehow managed to get fully dressed before Celestia came in.

"3 minutes, a new record."

Fast to clean.

Mr. Clean would be proud.

"Yep, he would be. What is it Princess, am I wearing too much Old Spice? It is my religion!"

"Um, no, we have guests, so I need you to wait at the lobby."

"Cool, I'll go now."

"Really, that was rather effortless." Celestia said with opened eyes.

"Please, I can behave, sometimes. Just let me go now." And then Wade teleported out.

"Ha ha, Wade is really confusing, but he's a good man." Celestia decided to go see how Harry is going. When she got to his room...

"Oh my, he really enjoys sleep." Celestia decided to be a bit mischievous with Harry. "A little shaving cream, and a feather. Classic."

Celestia put some of the white foam onto Harry's open palm and tickle his nose with the feather. To her disappointment, he took care of the tickle with his unfoamed hand, so she decided to be more direct.

"Wake up Harry." Celestia shoved the young man a little, making the wizard groan.

"Oh, please tell me I didn't miss church, did I?"

"Only if we had one."

Harry woke up and moved his foamed hand to his face. The brief shock made him wonder how that get there, until he saw the princess giggle.

"Aren't you a little old to be playing cheap pranks like that?"

"Sometimes, we all need to be a little immature." Celestia said, remembering what Discord said, right before he went mad with power.

"Fine, I'm going to take a shower."

"Please, we have guests coming."

"And who are they?" A voice behind Celestia spoke. The princess turned around to see David fully clothed, and with arms folded.

"Oh, you know them already, just wait for them in the lobby."

"Sure, I'm just going to get some food first. Got cereal and milk?"

"We have oatmeal. Is that okay?"

"What kind?"

"Apple-cinnamon."

David scratched the back of head and rolled his eyes.

"Fine, better than nothing."

"Good to hear David."

"Yeah, I'll see ya in the lobby Tia. Haben Sie einen schönen Tag." David walked away. Harry then asked a question.

"You have any idea what he said?"

"He just told me to have a nice day. Rather simple really."

"Alright, give me some privacy please."

"Of course." Celestia trotted out to see how Stryker is. It only took five seconds to see him start a conversation with David in the hall. She also saw Link join the group shortly after.

You know, these are true fire-forged friends. I proud of them.

A few minutes later, all six humans were in the foyer waiting for their 'guests' to arrive.

"I'm guessing those mares are coming. We only separated just three days ago." Stryker said.

"Whatever you say, personally, Wade and I had managed to find a way to bring some fun here."

"Like what David?"

"Two words," David went up to Stryker's face. "skeet, shooting." David finished, putting up a finger for each word.

"Skeet shooting, you made a clay pigeon launcher?" Harry asked.

"Hell yeah we did. It's not quite done yet, but it will be in the end of the week."

"You crazy bastards." Harry said, shaking his head.

Everyone chuckled at that. After a few minutes, Celestia came in with the Mane Six.

"Called it!" Stryker said.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! Doesn't change fact that I am still drunk." Nikolai took another drink of vodka.

"Ah definitely had mah hopes a little too high there." Applejack said, chuckling.

"So, how are we doing this little visit?" Deadpool said, leaning against the wall.

"Well, we all agreed that we'll hang out with humans we know the best." Twilight said.

"Alright Rarity, you're with me then."

"Very well David. Lead the way." David let Rarity come close to him. He noticed how Fluttershy seemed very eager to hang out with Link.

Almost as if...

"Is it just me, or is Fluttershy a bit... excited to be with Link?" Stryker pointed out as Rainbow flew above him.

"Yeah, I have. I can tell why, but don't tell Link."

Stryker motioned Rainbow to lower to his head level. He then whispered into her ear.

"Let me guess, crush?"

"Yeah." Rainbow whispered back.

"I knew it."

Deadpool hugged Pinkie and spoke.

"Oh Pinkie, Yellow Caption Box missed you soooooo much!"

"I missed him too, and guess what?"

"Wut." Wade said in a silly tone.

Pinkie whispered into Wade's ear.

Huh, that's actually hot.

Yeah. I guess.

What ever happened to being a cultured dick?

We change with Wade as his brain dies and regenerates.

Seems legit.

Totally.

The duo laughed as Twilight acquainted herself with Harry.

"So, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know about you, but I'm relaxing."

"Wait, whatever happened to..."

"Listen Twilight, I've accepted the fact that only the princess is able to send me home, so I'd just rather relax when I don't have work."

"So, be lazy to be short?"

"You can say that."

Twilight groaned. He's starting to act like Rainbow Dash, small wonder I like him now.

Nikolai and Applejack seemed to have already left the room. Rainbow approached David.

"Hey man, you still play music on that machine?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"We're going to be here for a few hours, might as well enjoy relaxing with a nice beat." Rainbow gave a grin, David seemed to know what she meant.

"Alright, let's get to the car."

David, Rarity, Stryker, and Rainbow went to where David kept his car. Deadpool and Pinkie just dashed out to the castle gardens. Harry went to his room with Twilight. Link and Fluttershy also went to the gardens, but walked there instead.

"Okay Applejack, here is where I drink usually."

"In the water closet."

"Yeah, in the pisser."

Nikolai sat down on his private toilet and took out a bottle of vodka.

"And why do ya drink in this here place?"

"Because, if Nikolai get's nausea, he could just vomit in toilet here, simple. Это - большая вещь для меня товарищ."

"Of course it's great fer you, yer drunk."

"Da! I am... Oh shit, nausea." Nikolai lifted the seat of the toilet and vomited in it. Applejack just shook her head.

This drunk is gonna ruin himself soon.

David tweaked the knobs on the radio, trying to find a song. He had found a continuous mix by deadmau5, and played it.

"Aww yeah! This is awesome!" Rainbow yelled as she laid down on the hood of the car.

"Ja, it is." David said.

"What is with the German David?"

"Stryker, I'm keeping in touch with my heritage, I am 7/16th German, 1/16th Polish and half Jewish, on my father's side, I assure you. Why not?"

Stryker looked at David. He just shook his head.

"Humans have rather strange naming." Rarity pointed out.

"Yeah, well ponies have even stranger theme naming." David retorted.

"Well... umm... okay, you have that David."

"Of course I do."

The four listened in... and then noticed Wade and Pinkie sneak in the labyrinth.

"I better make sure they don't get near Discord." Rainbow said as she flew over to the insane-ish duo.

"Good luck!" Stryker yelled.

"Tell me, some of those weapons seem non-lethal..."

"Less-lethal!"

"Why less-lethal?" Rarity asked.

"Because these things can kill, it's just less often than guns and the whatnot."

"Oh."

"Yeah, pepper spray can irritate the lungs. Tasers can cause heart attacks if done on the right person. Nightsticks can cause serious head trauma."

"Wow David, you are... kind of disturbing." Rarity looked disturbed.

"I blame television."

"Really David, really?"

"Yeah."

"Wade, I don't think we should be here."

"Don't be a downer Pinks, be a little rebellious."

Pinkie was still nervous, but what could she do about Wade.

"Okie dokie lokie!"

"Hah, some demigod named Loki made me look like Tom Cruise."

"WHAT! That is absolutely horrible!"

"Well to be fair, I was indestructible."

"Aren't you already?"

"I just heal stupid fast."

"Oh."

Stupid Scientologists.

Yeah, stupid, stupid morons who made us a part of Anonymous just to screw with them.

"Hey guys!"

The duo looked up to see Rainbow fly to them.

"Hey Dashie!"

"Sup Pinkie. Listen guys, stay away from the center."

"Yeah, Discord is a meany, mean, meany-pants."

"Hmm, just like Taskmaster. You got it Rainbow. See ya on the flip side." Wade then jumped through a hedge, and came out with roses sticking to his skin.

"Shit! Thorny, thorny thorns in my bod!"

Rainbow chuckled at this embarrassing sight and turned to Pinkie. "Listen, I gotta go back. Later." Rainbow then flew off.

"Bye Dashie, see ya later!" Pinkie said waving her hoof.

"Okay, got the last rose off of my dick, let's move." Deadpool began to do his 'haters gonna hate' walk, Pinkie deciding to follow, did the same.

Harry and Twilight looked out the window, and noticed that it was getting dark out.

"My goodness, how long have we been reading?" Twilight asked.

Harry looked at the clock and answered.

"About 2 hours. Strange."

"Well, you did wake up really late."

"Very late. We really need to ween ourselves to daytime standards."

"Yes you do."

The two went back to their books, a fantasy novel about a secret group of unicorns being prophets.

"Really interesting." Harry noted about a specific scene to himself.

"Yep."

The two chuckled as they read.

It's almost time Fluttershy, do or die time.

Fluttershy took a deep breath, exhaled and looked at her crush, the one she had found to be quite attractive and kind and wonderful. She hoped that when she told him, he would say yes. She trotted over to him and spoke.

"Look at the sunset, isn't it beautiful?"

Link nodded while he smiled. He did think the sunset was rather nice.

Fluttershy didn't want to get too close, it might turn him off.

Oh dear, I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous. Oh pony up Fluttershy, a pony... erm... man like that only comes one in a lifetime.

Just. Say. The. Words.

Link, I love you.

Fluttershy took a gulp of air and looked at Link. The sun was almost set.

"Link..."

Link turned towards Fluttershy.

"Please listen to me, I have something important to tell you."

Link looked interested and moved a bit closer to listen in.

"Link, when I first truly met you, I knew that you were a nice man. But in the time I have spent with you, I learned more about you."

Fluttershy looked Link in the eyes.

"I found out that you were brave, that you were intelligent and... I also found out something too..."

Is she actually saying that to me?

"Link..." Fluttershy put on the biggest smile she could have and grabbed Link's hands lightly. "I love you."

And she did...

Link had a look of shock on his face. Fluttershy smiled and spoke again.

"Link, tell me, what do you say?"

Link had a stern look on his face.

"Fluttershy..."

He said my name! Fluttershy closed her eyes, expecting his response.

"I only have one thing to say..."

Yes, yes, yes!

"I'm sorry, but I don't think the same about you."

Fluttershy kept her look for a few seconds, before she widened her eyes and her smile completely wiped.

"W-what?"

"I already have someone back home." Link said as he moved his hands to his sides, slipping from Fluttershy's grip.

"You... already..." Tears began to form in her eyes.

"It's not that I hate you, it's just... I don't see us as anything more than close friends."

Fluttershy tears began to flow down her face.

No, no, NO! Link, NO!

"But I will tell you this, I admire you for at least telling me, face to face, about this."

Fluttershy opened her eyes and looked at Link. Her eyes were red from the tears, and she spoke.

"You really think so?"

"Yes, I do think you'll find some... pony, but I'm not the one for you. Whoever does, he'll be a lucky stallion." Link got up. "Still, we can be friends, right?"

Fluttershy smiled, she could never hate Link for anything. "Yes, we can." She got up and flew next to him. "Let's go back to the castle."

Link nodded and the two went to the castle.

David played music, Nikolai and Link were covering their ears.

"Seriously David, must you play shit music?"

Link nodded in approval with Nikolai, he found this noise very horrible.

"Alright, but I'll play it another time." David turned off the radio and looked at the six mares. "Great catching up with you girls, we should do this more often."

"Of course David, but next time, we should definitely not lay around all afternoon."

"You're right. Next time, we rock climb."

Rarity laughed a bit and David joined in.

"Seriously, good to catch up. See ya another time."

The others said goodbyes and the mares went out the door. The humans soon went to bed as well. On the train back home, Rarity spoke to Fluttershy.

"So darling, tell us, did you tell Link?"

"Yeah, did ya?"

"Yeah Fluttershy, did ya tell Link?"

Fluttershy looked at her friends and spoke.

"Yes."

"And what did he say?" Pinkie said.

"Oh... well he said... to put it simply... he said no."

"WHAT!"

"But he did it gently, I now know he's not in my reach anymore, but I at least know that he will be still be my friend, and that won't change."

"Oh, well, it was a good try Shy, and you should be proud." Rainbow said to try to comfort the shy pegasus.

"Thank you Rainbow."

The six soon arrived at Ponyville and they went home to rest up. They had a lot to look forward to.

And it was big.

Arc 4 (Fall from Heaven, Climb Above it)

And HA!, I totally got you on the shipping thing guys. Seriously though, it is a good ship that could work if you put in a good setting (and the right version of Link too.)
