Dave had only been here a few weeks and everyone was already having a party in his name. When Pinky spread the word it dident take long for it to get to the Princess who had decided to give him a award or something but thats not the crazy part, the party being held for him spread as far as Manehatten. No one told him if it went farther or not but he guessed it did. As always he was sitting by one of the meany punch bowls just watching the endless party go on. “Hey Dave.” Dave turned his head to Applejack and smiled. “Hey Applejack. Whats up?” She smiled and tossed his a rather HUGE apple. “Biggest apple this year. Hope you enjoy it.” He nodded at her as she walked back into the crowed.

Dave studied the apple and took a bite. “......My mouth just exploded with pure happiness.” He ate it slowly savoring every last bite. When he finished it he was upset, so to take his mind off of it he went to mingle with the crowd. He met the rest of the Apple family and somehow got a hug out of Rainbow Dash. He walked around some more until he saw Dipsy by a randomly placed muffin cart. He smiled and walked over to where she was and for a moment watched as she scanned the muffin cart. “Dang! No blue-berry again!” She pouted and almost walked into Dave. “AH!” She jumped back in surprise as a grin appeared on Dave’s face. “oh come on I can’t be THAT scary.” He teased as she recovered. “You big meany! I’ll get you for that!” Dipsy laughed and hugged him. “I havent seen you for a couple of days. How are you?”

Dave returned the hug. “Well i destroyed one of the most powerful beings in the world and am now having a world wide party in my honer. So not much.” They both laughed. “Im surprised these muffin carts don’t have any blue-berry.” Dave looked at the rather large muffin cart. “I know, iv looked at 5 of them and havent found a single one...” Dave sighed. “Well Pinky is baking for half the world, she must have forgotten.” Suddenly the got louder as Pinky Piecame rushing threw with random party objects. Dave had side-stepped another tackle and helped her up. “You ok Pinky?” She nodded happily. “So Dave how are you liking YOUR party?” She giggled and Dave laughed. “Its amazing how you do it Pinky.” Pinky jumped up and down. “Anyway i have to get back to spreading party cheer!” She zoomed out into the crowd. Dave sighed happily then noticed something was on his back. It was a rather large blue-berry muffin. “......You smart pink ball of hyper.” He giggled to himself then with magic held up the muffin. “Hey Dipsy i found a blue-berry muffin.” Dipsy turned to him with a wide grin. “OH MY GOSH YOU FOUND ONE!” She tackle hugged him and kissed him again but this time on the lips. It lasted a few seconds but seemed like forever. She got off of him her face almost as red as his. “S-sorry a-about that i-i...” Dave looked at her. “I-its ok, here.” He gave her the muffin.

“So um im going to go see what Celestia has planned. Talk with you later?” She looked up at him with those adorable eyes. “Come by my place later.” This made both of them blush even more. “O-ok then, see ya.” He began to walk away towards the center of town. “Man i sure do have my head in the clouds...” He smiled a small bit at the pun. He soon saw princess Celestia talking with Twilight and The Mayor. “There he is now!” Twilight noticed him walking over to them. Celestia turned towards him with a sweet smile. “The hero has come and fashionably late as well.” Dave shrugged. “I guess so, I don’t think what I did was very heroic.” He almost shivered at the memory. Even tho Discord was evil the terror in his eyes where all he saw. “Oh don’t be so modest.” Celestia laughed then turned and started walking up a stage. “Come on, i’ll get everypony ready.” When she made it to the top she shot out what looked like a fire-work up into the sky witch made everypony turn towards her. “Listen up everypony please!” She spoke into that mega-phone thing. “We are here today to celebrate something wonderful, the end of Discord!” Everypony cheered. “We will not have to ever worry about him ever again and because of one pony that was not afraid to stand up and face him!”

Again everypony cheered. Twilight patted Dave on the back. “You’ll be fine.” She smiled. Dave nodded and looked back up at Celestia. “Now we gather here to give him something back for going threw so much for us! The title of ‘Defender of Equestria’!” The crowd as they say ‘went wild!’. Dave walked up the stage and again everypony cheered as loud as they could. Celestia turned to him and with her magic lifted a golden medal off of the podium and over in front of her. Dave had stopped mid range of the princess and stood tall. She flouted the medal over to him and placed it around his neck. The medal wasint very heavy but still had some weight to it. Everypony cheered louder then they did before. Dave looked around the crowd. He made them all feel so safe and protected, he dident want to let them down. Celestia bowed her head to him and he did the same. Dave had walked off of the stage and back down to where Twilight was sitting. “You did grate for getting a reward for the first time.” Dave looked over at her. “That wasint the first time i got a reward.” She tilted her head at him. “Id rather not talk about it right now. I’ll tell you later.” She smiled and nodded as he walked off.

He had been wondering around until dawn witch dident kill the party. He finally found what he was looking for. He walked up to the door of Dipsy Doo’s house and kocked on the door. “Come in!” She called as Dave walked in. “Hi Dipsy.” He smiled at her. “Hey Dave.” He closed the door behind him. “So you wanted me to come ov-” She was suddenly in front of him with a red face and grin. “Um....Hi?” She kissed him flying backwards as if to drag him with her. ‘I think i know where this is going....’ Dave thought as they entered the back room.
