The group of scientist entered the room not knowing what to expect but kept up there guards. “S-so what do you think Dave want’s?” One of the younger ones whispered. “He more or less wants to fire us.” Everyone tensed up as they looked at the one leaning up agents the metal wall. “But the only thing i hope is that he doisn’t REALLY fire us....” Everyone but him started to panic a bit when the wall on the far side opened. Where it had split bullet-proof glass replaced it. Dave was sitting the room writing something down, he finally got up and looked at all of them. “Gentlemen, you are all here because of one thing, you are all being fired.” He sighed as if he was dissapointed. “It was a shame really. You all had a wonderful job here,” He looked over at a red button with a wild grin. “No! You cant do that we all have families!” Dave nodded. “Yes and they were all devastated to hear about that horrible explosion that killed half of my staff.”

Dave sat down in his chair. “They just got out of the morning part and are all going on with there lives.” More and more of the scientists started to panic except the man leaning on the wall. “Argh how did I know you had this planned and why diden’t I stop it?” He face-palmed. “Because no one,” He pressed the button and fire flooded the room. “Opposes me.” He laughed as the fire ate away at the mens skin. The crackling and pealing was very loud but not as loud at there screams. “Oh quiet its just a bit of heat.” He laughed un-controllably. Someone’s hand hit the glass and Dave looked up. “B-brother....You are a MONSTER.” The man sed before falling over dead. “Ya ya i heard it all before.” He giggled as the screams subsided.

Dave woke up in a cold sweat and a gasp. He looked around to see where he was then remembered he stayed at Dipsy’s house. He looked down and to his side to see her laying there sleeping like a rock. “Oh ya....Now i remember.” He smiled to himself as he got out of the bed without waking her up. “Right, breakfast.” He walked to the kitchen area and looked around in the frig for something to whip up for the both of them. What he saw half surprised him. “Muffins.....Wonderful.” He laughed and took out four, two for him, two for her. He walked over to the table in the kitchen and took a seat. He took a bite of one. “These are good.” He laughed taking another bite. After about 20 minutes he heard Dipsy get up and saw her walk up into the kitchen. She looked surprised. “Oh! You scared me Dave. I thought you left already.” He smiled. “I wouldent do that.” She blushed a bit and smiled walking over to the table with her eyes crossed again. “So by the sounds of it the party is yet to end.” He turned his head slightly to look out the window. Dipsy nodded taking a bite of one of the muffins on the table.

“I don’t know how long its going to last but at least i get some time off.” She laughed and Dave smiled. He finished his muffins and looked at Dipsy finish hers. “So where shale we go today.” He smiled at her lovingly. “Well we could go see what everyone in town is doing.” Dipsy got up and started walk towards the door. He got up and followed with a ever growing sense of dread. “Uh hey Dipsy do you have alcohol here?” She looked at him. “Ya why? You want to go out drinking?” He shook his head. “No i just wanted to know.” She gave him a confused look then opened the door. “Hey look its Derpy Hooves!” One very drunk looking pony pointed his hoof at her as the other drunk ponys around him started laughing. Dipsy tensed up. “So thats why you wanted to know.” She turned to Dave only to see his gaze of doom pointing at the pony that spoke first. “Dave please calm down its ok really they are just drunk.” Dave shook his head. “Not just drunk but stupid.” He walked past her and over to the ponys laughing. The main one looked at him. “Hey there bud! Did you see what i did there?” He giggled a bit but Dave just stared at him. “Yes, and your going to apologize to Dipsy.” The stallion looked at him. “And er going to make meh?” Dave nodded his horn started glowing a dark color. “Oh jeez!” He flinched. “S-sorry Miss Dipsy!” The whole gathering ran away and Dave sighed. “Sorry about that Dipsy i need to do th-” He turned and got a hug. “Thanks Dave.” He returned the hug. “No problem.” They had then began walking around town seeing how the party was going. Pinky was asleep on top of town hall with Rainbow Dash. Dave guessed she flew up there to get Pinky down but fell asleep herself. “Well thats safe.” Dave giggled a bit and with his magic got them down somehow without waking them up. Dipsy had decided to go talk with some friends and sed bye to Dave. “See later.” He sed with a blush as she flew off.

Dave had wondered around until he found himself in front of the library. “I might as well visit Twilight if she’s even in.” He walked up to the door and knocked. Spike answered the door and smiled. “Hey Dave! i havent seen you in forever! Twi’s out right now but you can come in.” Dave smiled and walked in. He took a seat by the table in the middle of the library. “So how have you been Dave?” Spike sat at the other end of the table. “Just peachy.” He laughed. “And you?” Spike shrugged. “Nothing seems to different other then i don’t have to worry about Discord anymore.” He smiled at Dave. “Nice work.” Dave lost his smiled. “I don’t feel as tho i did a nice job.” Spike seemed to be the only one to listen to him when he sed that and gave him a concerned look. “What do you mean?” Dave sighed. “Well before i got here i was a scientist in a lab. But i wasint a......pony.” He explained everything from the point of the portal exploding. “So you were something called a ‘human’? But you look like a pony.” Dave nodded and looked at himself. “I don’t know how that happened. But recently iv been remembering things from my past that im not proud of, it has affected my behavior when i become angry or very sad. When Discord attacked me was the day i had a nightmare about my past.” He then started describing how he beat Discord. “W-what? Y-you tore off his arms?” Spike got a terrified look on his face. Dave was on the verge of tears. “You see why it was so hard for me to accept this?” He looked down at the medal. “I just dont know what to do Spike, im scared of myself. I dont want to hurt anypony.” Spike tryed to calm himself down but failed. Dave got up. “I see i have made you scared of me... I’ll leave.” Spike couldent get the words out fast enough to stop Dave. Dave turned and looked at him. “Sorry Spike.” He then continued out. Next Chapter: snap Estimated time remaining: 7 Minutes
