"So, who is going first?" asked The Forgemaster, Twilight immediately raised her hoof.

"Fine, Twilight Sparkle, you may go first, but know that I have 9738 queries for Truths and 3682 Dares. These are arranged on a scale of 1 to 10 of difficulty, embarrassment, and awkwardness. Depending on what you do first determines how bad the rest of the night will go for you."

Twilight gulped, then asked, "Forgemaster, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"What is your real name?"

"I don't know."

"What! How can you not know your name?"

"Twilight Sparkle, it's not your turn. If you wish to ask you must wait until your next turn."

He turned to Rainbow Dash as Twilight grumbled, "Rainbow Dash, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!"

"I dare you to pour your drink over Twilight Sparkle's head."

"HAH! OKAY!" Rainbow does so, despite the pleading from Twilight. A very soaked Twilight now occupies her cushion, grumbling.

"Alright, my turn!" Rainbow looks around, then locks in on her target, "Applejack! Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!"

"I dare you to get a make-over from Rarity!"

Applejack angrily allows the squealing unicorn to 'fix' her mane and tail. "Hmmm, Twilight! Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Came the lavender unicorn's response.

"What do you think of The Forgemaster?"

She stole a glance at him, before saying, "He is more stubborn than a rock and twice as smart!"

All the ponies giggled at the lame attempt at an insult towards The Forgemaster.

"Alright, Forgemaster. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Why can't you tell us your name?"

The Forgemaster grinned, "I cannot tell you my name because I don't know it! Next time, phrase your question better!"

Twilight face-hoofed while all the other ponies were now laughing out loud, not even bothering to hold back their laughs.

"My turn! Due to the sensitive nature of your questioning, Twilight Sparkle, I have decided to use all my pre-prepared questions and dares against you! Verily, I ask you: Truth or dare, Twilight Sparkle?"

"Truth!" came the suddenly nervous unicorn's response.

The Forgemaster had a slight, sly smile on his face as he asked, "Twilight Sparkle, what is the nature of your sexual orientation?"

"WHAT!" said everypony in the room.

"It was a valid question, Twilight Sparkle. By the rules of the game; if you refuse to answer, you lose and cannot participate further."

All the ponies looked between both The Forgemaster and Twilight, as they just looked at each other. The Forgemaster with that same grin on his face. Twilight with a glare and a look that could kill. Technically, The Forgemaster was right: if Twilight didn't answer, she couldn't ask any of her questions until her punishment ended.

"21 days, 8 hours, 53 minutes, 27 seconds, Twilight Sparkle." Said The Forgemaster, apparently knowing what Twilight was thinking.

"Ugh! Fine, I guess I like….. stallions?" Twilight hesitantly replied.

"I don't know Twilight Sparkle, do you?"

"Yes!"

"Yes, what?"

"Yes, I like stallions!"

"You know Twilight Sparkle, lying is also against the rules."

"I'm NOT lying!"

"Then what's this?" his hand glowed with a silver light and Twilight's room's door opened. As the ponies watched, a small magazine came through the door and was drifting through the air towards The Forgemaster. Twilight's face instantly lit up with horror and embarrassment when she saw the magazine. She knew that there was only one solution.

She immediately yelled, "I like mares, too!"

As soon as she said that, The Forgemaster reversed his spell and put the magazine back under Twilight's bed and closed the door. All of the ponies were looking at Twilight now. All of them were grinning.

The Forgemaster spoke first, "You know Twilight Sparkle, it's never a good thing to hide things like this from your friends. Someone is bound to find out eventually and reveal your dirty, little secret. But that day is not this day; I'm sure your friends opinions about you haven't changed at all. In fact, some of your friends may like you just a little bit more, if you know what I mean."

Twilight's horribly embarrassed face slowly began to fade as all of her friends spoke up in support of her life choices. By the time she was over her embarrassment, she was grinning more than the day she became Celestia' student. The Forgemaster grinned at the moment in front of him, it was almost too sweet.

So he said, "Twilight Sparkle, I believe it's your turn."

The game went on for several more hours, until the party was over at the appointed sleeping time of midnight. Although he wanted to go home, the ponies begged The Forgemaster not to go home. So he stayed the night with the ponies. He slept in the middle of the floor on a small bed Twilight had managed to create out of nearly all the blankets in her home. The rest of the ponies had slept on their cushions, even Twilight. He gazed out at the sleeping forms of the tiny ponies, and smiled. The game had progressed smoothly after his question, although he always had the upper hand (Hoof?) when it came to the game. Several shocking secrets about the ponies and The Forgemaster were revealed. For instance; The Forgemaster is many centuries old, he fought alongside his battle-brothers at the Last Stand at Thermopylae and was the only survivor, he may or may not be worshiped as a god amongst some primitive tribesmen from his old lands, he is responsible for nearly all the technological advancements of his people and he worries over their continued progression, and he genuinely doesn't hate Twilight. The ponies had some secrets of their own; Pinkie Pie is actually a special type of creature only she and The Forgemaster know about, Rainbow is also bi-sexual, Rarity is not the lady she always appears to be, Fluttershy is shy around ponies because she was bullied as a filly, (A/N- Damn them straight to hell! I'll probably have The Forgemaster slaughter those bullies from flight camp!), and Applejack still hates him over his comments about her food.

The Forgemaster was content in this land. He doesn't even want to go back to his old land anymore! But, he was still concerned over Princess Luna. What did Celestia mean? What is up with Princess Luna? Why does she act so strangely around him?

With these thoughts in his head, The Forgemaster drifted off to sleep.
