After several rather uncomfortable tests done by several doctors and nurses, that took about an hour each mind you, the two human walked out feeling very awkward.

“Did we really have to take our clothes off?” Jed asked as he pulled his shirt back over himself. Celestia sighed and nodded again for the tenth time.

“If you didn’t, it would have caused some disruptions in the spells. And come on it wasn’t that bad.” Celestia said with a smile.

“You weren’t on a table naked with everyone staring at you.” Jed grumbled as he walked out into the hallway and stretched a bit. Mark just shuddered and put on his fingerless gloves.

“This felt so damn bad.”

“Tell me about it.” Jed said sighing and looking at Celestia. “What now?”

“Well... We actually finished early. So if you want we can get those blood tests out of the way.” Celestia suggested.

“.... NO.” Mark said looking at Celestia. “They use huge ass fucking needles for those, and they hurt and all that mumbo jumbo.... Also, I might be drunk. I have no idea.”

“You would do it if Twilight was here.” Jed snickered out.

“No-..... Actually yes, mom is very nice.” Mark said nodding.

“So if Twilight was here, you would go with the blood tests?” Celestia asked curiously.

“Yeah....” Mark said quietly puffing his cheeks.

“Seems like I have a letter to write then. Tah tah for now!” Celestia said turning and walking down a hallway. Jed just blinked before shrugging.

“What you wanna do?” Jed asked walking up to Mark.

“Daaaah.... Uh...... Eehhh..” Mark said putting a hand on his chin.

“We got options. Garden, videogames, pranks with Discord...” Jed suggested.

“Lets terrorize the population?” Mark said looking a bit stupid

“You want to cause a incident?” Jed deadpanned. “That will most likely end up with us in jail.”

“Say it was a accident.” Mark said shrugging

“Say Celestia found out different.” Jed said.

“So, no pranks? That's terrorizing the population?” Mark asked

“Oh... Well pranks are fine then. As long as you don’t go overboard. Again.” Jed said.

“FIRECRACKERS AHOY!”

“Noooo.” Jed said glaring at Mark. “I don’t want a repeat of last time.”

“Flaming toilet rolls it is then.” Mark muttered.

“Mark nothing involving fire.” Jed said rubbing his temples with his right hand.

“Liquid hydrogen then?” Mark asked.

“No fre-.. Just no chemicals that will combust or possibly maim someone.” Jed said.

“Chloroform it is then.” Mark said again.

“No kidnapping ponies and hanging them from flag poles.” Jed said.

“Eh..... Fuck this lets just go play a game.” Mark said walking off.

“... Okay then.” Jed said shrugging and following. “Video games ahoy!”

“No stealing my lines unless I get to prank people my way.” Mark said.

“Your way usually involved arsen.” Jed deadpanned.

“Yep.” Mark said.

“That’s not pranking. That’s simply destruction of property.” Jed deadpanned again.

“Yep.” Mark said again. “Then again..... You rammed my car into a house once.”

“Yes.” Jed said.

“Never again.” Mark said. “You aren’t driving for a long time.”

“Told you cool-aid, redbull, and vodka don't mix well.” Jed said shrugging.

“And you don’t drink either, so why did you drink that Vodka in the first fucking place?” Mark asked.

“You never told me it was in my cup.” Jed said plainly.

“I poured vodka in your drink? You know how strongly of alcohol it smells?” Mark asked.

“I was playing Mass Effect! Leave me alone.” Jed said slumping a bit.

“Crashy.” Mark said as he still was walking.

“God, crash once and look where it gets me.” Jed said shaking his head. “Why would you even let me drive your car if I was drunk? You know I don’t drink strong stuff. Beer is fine, but I don’t like anything stronger. Tequila is an exception. Vinyl made me get an acquired taste for that.”

“You stole the keys.” Mark deadpanned.

“Oh... Wait what? You guard those things like a freaking baby.” Jed said.

“When you are drunk you steal shit, you had fucking five hundred bucks when I found you crashed.” Mark deadpanned again.

“Huh... I get drunk then I develop kleptomania.” Jed said scratching his chin.

“Yeah, and you also, are really stupid because you had written down a lot of crap on a paper, that was in your note.... Sketch.... Whatever it was again.”

“I remember that actually... Well I burned the paper afterwards but I remember a splitting headache and getting extremely embarrassed. So I am just going to leave it at that.” Jed said shaking his head again. “Let’s just go to the game room... Or entertainment room. Whatever it is.”

“Don’t complain to me that you do reckless things when you are drunk, at least I can handle my alcohol better.” Mark said walking towards the entertainment room.

“I told you when we first met I didn’t drink.” Jed said plainly as he followed.

“And now suddenly you do?” Mark asked. “Tequila really?”

“Hey! Vinyl gave it to me. I couldn’t say no to puppy dog eyes!” Jed complained.

“Riiiight.” Mark said walking into a room, where a guard was sitting and relaxing. Upon seeing Jed and Mark he immediately stood up and became like a stone statue.

“Are they always going to do that around us? It’s not like we are going to report them or anything.” Jed said annoyed.

“You aren’t?” The guard asked, looking at Jed.

“Why would I? I’m not royalty. Even if I was, I could careless.” Jed said shrugging. “And to be honest it kinda pisses me off.”

“Oh.... Um.... Okay?” The guard asked, a bit unsure of himself.

“Just relax. We’re not gonna do anything to you for chilling.” Jed said walking in and sitting on the couch.

The guard just exhaled and sat back down again. “Man, this job..... Its so boooring... But the pay is well.”

“Hey, no having to do anything and get payed a shit load. Not to mention you get to sneak peeks at royalty's flanks. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.” Jed said shrugging.

The guard just stifled a laugh. “Yeah... True, but still.... I’m exhausted from a patrol....”

“Then chill. Come on Mark! Let’s show this guy how humans relax.” Jed said smiling as he picked up a remote.

“Get me alcohol then.” Mark muttered.

“Not that relaxed.” Jed said rolling his eyes.

“Buzz kill.” Mark said, causing the guard to laugh a bit.

“Alcoholic.” Jed said shrugging.

“Crashy.” Mark said picking up a remote and sitting down.

“Newb.” Jed sniffed.

“Can’t drink for shit.” Mark said pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Eh. Don’t really care.” Jed said shrugging as he turned on the X-Buck. “Can have fun and remember it without getting shit faced.”

“Scaredy pants.” Mark said grinning “Leading by two reasons right now.”

“Hey that one doesn’t count. I have a dangerous job.” Jed said leaning back.

“Drawing girls naked, don’t really count as getting laid.”

“Never said it did.” Jed said looking at Mark.

“Then what is this?” Mark said as he picked up his phone, and showed him a text, that was from him. “look there.”

“No. Let’s just play.” Jed said shaking his head.

“I win, you suck.” Mark said snickering.

“Minty lips.” Jed said.

“Damn they tasted good.” Mark said with a huge grin.

“And the double meaning is shown!” Jed said snickering. The guard just looked between the two, somewhat crazed humans, and blinked before laughing a little bit. “What is with you guards and never laughing? Not chuckling, like true laughing.”

“Uh, we just can’t do that during work.... Would make one look like a unprofessional.... That and it’s our job to be concentrated, except that guard that got taunted by a rainbow maned pegasus....” The guard explained.

“Oh... That bitch hates me for some reason.” Jed said hanging his head. “I don’t even know what I did!”

“Eh, she got randomly kissed by a guard. Should have seen the look on her face after that.... Thats what you get for being up in a guards face.” The guard said.

“You have no idea how much I would have payed to see that face.” Jed said chuckling. “So you guys never get to let loose? Just relax like you are now?”

“Uh yeah we do, just like during the night, when the night guard got the place.

“Well that sucks. I am sure if you asked Shining would give you some time off.” Jed said shrugging before he nudged the guard’s ribs with his elbow. “What’s your name anyway mister guard?”

“The name is Talon.....” Talon said. “Sharp Talon.... Just call me Talon though.”

“Alright well nice to meet you Talon.” Jed said smiling and holding out his hand. “Name’s Jed.”

“Plesure to meet cha.” Talon said shaking his hand, he then looked at Mark for a few seconds.

“You are Mark right?” Talon asked. Mark just looked confused at Talon.

“How do you know that?” Mark asked.

“Heard that you are getting adopted by Princess Twilight.” Talon said. Mark just blinked and looked around.

“Really?” Mark asked.

“Celestia did say that she was getting those papers.” Jed said shrugging.

“Huh.... Guess I’m going to be Royalty all of a sudden.

“And you are going to get a mom that is going to nag you worse than me.” Jed said snickering.

“Worth it....” Mark said, before looking at Talon. “Nice to meet cha.” Talon just nodded his head at Mark, with a small smile.

“Looks like we just made a friend.” Jed said smiling as the game in the console loaded up finally. “Finally, christ. Take longer why don’t ya?”

“That reminds me.... Who is this Christ guy?” Talon asked. “I heard you say his names ever so often.... But I don’t know who he is.”

“Eeeeeeh... Religious figure. Lots of stuff behind it. Pretty much think of him as some ponies think of Celestia.” Jed said waving his hand in the air.

“Oh....” Talon said and held up his right arm, which had a somewhat big blade attached to it. “Oh right.... I better watch where I wave this arm.”

“Please do. I’d rather not get my head cleaved in two.” Jed said nervously.

“Ha.... League references....” Mark said laughing. “Wait, hey Talon may I see your blade?”

“What? Mr.Stabby? Uh sure?” Talon said. In one swift motion he swung his right arm out in order to take the gauntlet off, but as he was doing it they both heard a loud ‘CLANG’.

“..... Ow.” Jed hissed. “Fuck, my nose....” Talon and Mark leaned over and saw a small indent in the edge of the blade as Jed was rubbing the bridge of his nose and hissing through his teeth.

“That hurt worse than the fucking corner of a opening door.” He said as his eyes were closed trying to not let tears of pain escape. Mark just started to laugh like hell, whilst Talon, let out a small laugh. “What is so funny about me getting hit in the face with a sword dagger thing?”

“Mr.Stabby isn’t a Sword dagger thing, its a arm blade also, your face is like really red, and you are crying.” Talon said.

“I just got hit in the nose by a arm blade. Don’t bitch at me.” Jed said as he shook his head a bit to clear the small headache he got. “Wait a minute... Is that thing sharp?”

“Extremely... Stabby can cut through steel.” Talon said.

“Then why isn’t my face in half!?” Jed shouted blinking a bit.

“Because you got hit with the flat side, not the sharpside.... But if you want I can just go ahead an-” Talon began.

“Oh just shut up...” Jed said shaking his head.

“Alright....” Talon said, laughing again, along with Mark who was rolling around on the floor dying from laughter. Jed just sighed.

“I hope you pop a blood vessel.” Jed said as he started up the game and leaned back in his seat.

“How mean....” Talon said shaking his head with a small smile, after a short while Mark came back to the land of the living.

“Well... That was fun.” Mark said chuckling.

“Yea I guess.” Jed said chuckling a bit. “Please don’t do that again though. That hurt pretty fucking bad.”

That was when Luna decided to scare the shit out of everyone in the room by bursting through the doors. “TALON! SO THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN HIDING!” She bellowed a bit angrily.

Talon just sighed deeply. “Yes, you found me Princess Luna.”

“So you thought you could hide from me huh?” Luna said walking in and staring at Talon before she gently reached out and tapped his nose. “Boop! You’re it!” And ran out of the room.

“It took her about thirty minutes to find me.... Not really sure why she wants to play hide and seek with one of the best trackers in the castle.” Talon said tiredly.

“Thrill of the chase?” Jed asked shrugging.

“Probably..... Well, off I go... I swear, if she develops a crush on me... I don’t know what I would do.” Talon groaned as he got up, and seemingly disappeared.

“... I feel as if I should... Not care at all.” Jed said turning back to his game. Mark just sat there trying to control himself. “Go ahead Mark. Just let it out.”

“PPFFFTT HA!” Mark began before collapsing again and laughing.

Mark and Jed were simply sitting there playing their game of Haylo 4 when there was a small knock at the door.

“You who~!” Celestia’s voice pierced the sounds of battle coming from the T.V.

“No! NOOO! ANYTHING BUT HER!” Mark said seeking immediate shelter under the couch.

“Wha?” Jed said looking downwards to see Mark’s shoes poking out. “What got you so worked up?”

“Roger usually said ‘You who’..... And I hate blood tests!” Mark said from under the couch.

“Huh... Come in Celestia.” Jed said as the door opened to reveal Celestia standing there smiling.

“Have you seen Mark?” Celestia asked smiling warmly as she looked at the shoes sticking out of the couch. “I have something I need to show him.”

“Eh... I dunno. He usually moves too fast for me to care.” Jed said going back to his game.

“Oh. I guess I can’t tell him that Twilight is here.” Celestia said shrugging and heading back out the door. “Tell him if you see him alright?”

“Yap.” Jed said not paying any attention. Before he knew it Mark had left the room, and catched up to Celestia.

“Jed said you wanted something?” Mark asked innocently.

“Oh yes. Follow me.” She said with her usual warm smile as she walked down the halls.

“Okay dokay!” Mark said following Celestia happily. After a few minutes of walking they arrived at a familiar spot.

“Here we are! The medical wing.” She said simply.

“The fu-..... Why you do dis?” Mark said as he was gonna run away.

“You aren’t getting a shot from me, Mark.” Celestia said as she put a hand on his shoulder. “In fact none of the medical personnel are going to give you a shot, okay?”

“Do I dare ask who would give it to me?” Mark said, reluctantly. Celestia simply smiled her same smile before going to the door and opening it revealing a certain lavender Alicorn.

“Hello Mark!” Twilight said waving and smiling.

“Mom?” Mark asked confused. “What are you doing here?”

“Well Celestia said that you were being a bit... Finkey with needles. So I came here to help you get through this faster.” She said warmly. “It was either me come here or they strap you to a table in your sleep.”

Mark just remained quiet, before saying. “That sounds so damn wrong.”

“Believe me, I know. Now come on Mark. This won’t take long at all.” Twilight said smiling again. Mark just sighed and reluctantly walked over to Twilight. “Come on don’t be so mopey.... Want Ice cream afterwards?”

“One does not simply resist the temptation of Ice cream.” Mark said a little more happy.

“There you go.” Twilight said happily before she looked to a door a beckoned a nurse in. The nurse came in with a small tray, a tube and a needle along with some antiseptic and a small numbing gel. “Now hold still and the nurse will be over quick.”

Mark just closed his eyes and looked away, breathing a bit unsteadily. Twilight simply hugged Mark and gently held one of his hands as the Nurse rolled up his sleeve and applied the necessary items in their corresponding order. Mark felt a very small prick as the nurse gently withdrew a small vile of blood and took out the needle before putting a bandaid over it.

“See? All done.” Twilight said patting Mark’s back. Mark just exhaled, before looking at the bandaid.

“Hey look it got hearts on it.” Mark said inspecting the bandaid. “My arm feels a bit numb.”

“Well she didn’t want you freaking out any so she numbed it a bit.” Twilight said plainly. “Now lets go get you that ice cream.”

“Yay!” Mark said happily standing up, and following Twilight.

Twilight entered the Entertainment room with Mark in tow. They walked in and sat down on the couch as Jed was sprawled out across half the couch watching some random show on the T.V.

“Hey Twilight. Sup Mark. How’d it go?” Jed asked looking to Mark.

“I have a horrible feel that they are going to suspect that I’m drunk all the time.... My blood alcohol level is like fucked.” Mark said.

“Hence why we aren’t letting you drink for a while.” Jed said as he pulled his legs out so they could sit more comfortably. “You have ice cream on your face by the way.”

“Mom could you pass me a tissue?” Mark asked. Twilight rolled her eyes as a tissue floated over to Mark covered in a magenta aura. Mark just took it from the air and wiped his face.

“Thank you!” Mark said happily.

“You are in a better mood than earlier.” Jed said looking at Mark. “What’s up? I thought you’d be freaking out over the needles.”

“Mom’s here! I’m happy now.” Mark said giving Twilight a hug.

“No wonder Celestia is giving me those adoption papers.” Twilight said smiling as she hugged Mark back.

“Oh yeah, hey Jed, do you remember the time when my team won the qualification tournament and won around a hundred grand?” Mark asked.

“Be more specific.” Jed said plainly.

“The time the crowd roared and we played up Levels by Avicii on stage.” Mark said.

“Again... More specific.” Jed said.

“Right after the teamfight with the other team... Can’t really remember the name..”

“Was it the one where I got hurled out a window by that bouncer?” Jed asked lifting his head.

“No..... It was before the one million dollar tournament.” Mark said.

“The one with the strange guy that kept mumbling to himself and screeched like a banshee when he lost?” Jed asked.

“Probably.... I remember the after party.” Mark said happily.

“Oh yeah... The one right before we got sent here.” Jed said suddenly crestfallen and laying his head back on the couch arm. “I miss my dad. And my mom. And my brothers.”

“I thought you were homeless.” Mark said.

“Yeah, my family lived in Texas when I left. I was in New York to get a art deal, but noooooo. That asshole had to get someone else.” Jed said a little pissed.

“Shit breh, didn’t know.... Least you had Team Clueless as your family.” Mark said patting Jed on the shoulder.

“Eh it’s fine. I gave them my goodbyes before I left anyway.” Jed said sitting upright.

“Which reminds me, during the after party... Do you remember Yonas as he went literally berserk? And started raving like fuck?” Mark asked.

“Yeah. He smashed a chair over my head by accident.” Jed said. “I swear, I would just get a tattoo of a crash test symbol on my shoulders.”

“Still remember when it switched song.... The whole dance floor started bouncing... And everyone was enjoying themselves.” Mark said with a smile. “Too bad I won’t be enjoying the one where we win a million dollars.”

“Hey. You’re gonna be a freaking prince. Don’t be bitchin.” Jed said chuckling a bit.

“Still, would be nice to see my friends one last time.... And probably play with them too.” Mark said.

“Heh. Least you had friends. Try being a bisexual in the middle of southern Texas.” Jed said laughing.

“That how it goes.” Mark said laughing too.

“God... I still miss them.” Jed said burying his face in his hands.

“No kidding... I miss Chiro’s constants screams of ‘I’M GONNA DIHEE!! DIIIIEEH! AAH!’...” Mark said sighing.

“I have to say. Although that house was filled with morons and idiots, no offense.” Jed said. “They were a nice bunch.”

“Yeah.... Hopefully they will stay together too... No telling what will happen when I’m not there.” Mark said.

“Maybe Chiro will become team captain.” Jed said shrugging.

“That guy? He barely has any coordination without me, I mean he fills the jungle role perfectly because of his excellent play as GP but... Without me to direct him... He’s pretty fucking clueless.” Mark said.

“Hey. Don’t worry about it. They will get along.” Jed said smiling somewhat.

“Then again.... Yonas might be able to fill it up.... If he didn’t forget to communicate sometimes.”

“Here’s a thought. What if Roger took over?” Jed said chuckling.

Mark just started coughing violently. “Of all the things... Do you have to scare me like that?”

“Well if I was going to break you out of your sour mood, I had to do something.” Jed said laughing and shrugging.

“.... Just her well formed body was one thing but she’s so mean sometimes.... Also a perfect AD Carry.” Mark said.

“What about her Ex? Rino was his name?” Jed said looking off.

“I feel bad for that guy.” Mark said.

“Did they get back together or... They just friends still?” Jed asked.

“Dunno... And probably never will.” Mark said looking at Jed before noticing that Talon was sitting in a chair next to the couch. “Aaaand when did he come here?”

“He has been doing that for the last twenty minutes.” Jed deadpanned. “Just popping in... Then out.”

“That guy is a freaking ninja.” Mark said.

“Don’t say that or he’ll-” Jed looked behind him to see he was gone. “Damn it... I hate it when he does that.” Jed sighed and leaned back in his seat before saying. “This is going to be a looooong week.”

It had been four days since the two humans arrived for their tests. All of which had been done rather quick. Typical check ups, a few blood tests, magic tests, spells used to study their anatomy and such. Today was the last day they were going to be at the castle and they were packing up and getting ready to go home. Also Twilight had a small surprise for Mark and Jed on the way home.

“Hey Mark! You good dude?” Jed shouted as he pulled his bag over his shoulder and zipped up his hoodie while he waked out of his room. “We gotta leave in like... A few hours!”

“Fuck.” Mark said as he came out of his room with his bags. “No, I’m not good at all, you see I’m still packing and all that crap.” He said as his words was dripping with sarcasm.

“Your sarcasm is quite necessary.” Jed said rolling his eyes. “Come on. Let’s go say our goodbyes so we can head out. And knowing us, it’s going to take a couple hours just to find them.”

“I hate saying goodbye, it feels weird.” Mark said, as he walked past Jed.

“Then don’t. Say ‘See you later’.” Jed said smiling as he followed Mark.

“Cya!” Mark said walking past Talon, whom just nodded at him.

“He’s such a nice guy.” Jed said chuckling.

“A bit quiet at times, but hes nice.” Mark said.

“Yeah... Oh god... I just remembered. Loidwick is going to give us his ‘Goodbye’ hugs.” Jed said cringing a bit and involuntarily clutching his ribs. “I don’t want broken ribs.”

“....Shit.” was all that Mark could say.

“Well at least he makes a damn good piece of meat huh?” Jed said nudging Mark with his elbow as they walked.

“Gon miss his cooking.” Mark said a bit sad.

“Yeah... Heh. Maybe we could visit?” Jed said snickering as they walked past a few guards and turned a corner. Soon they arrived at the Kitchen and with small sniff of the delicious scent that was creeping through the doors, they walked in were Loidwick was kneading some bread. “Hey Loid!”

“Heheh.... Sounded like you said Loins.” Mark said, with a small grin.

“Oh hush up.” Jed said tapping Mark’s side as Loidwick looked up and smiled.

“Hey! There are my two favorite Humans!” He said as he walked over and gave them both light and gentle hugs, as Celestia told him not to kill them with affection. “How are you two doing?”

“Good.” Mark replied simply. “A bit tired, but otherwise good.”

“Eh. Ditto.” Jed said shrugging. “Other than that we are leaving back to Ponyville today and just wanted to say goodbye.”

“Aw. Ah well, it was nice having you guys here! It’s not very often I get to actually cook some meat in this kitchen.” Loidwick said as he looked around before glancing at them. “Also you know what this mean don’t ya?”

Jed gulped a little and smiled sheepishly. “That goodbye hug Celestia warned us about?”

“Aye.” Loidwick said as he grabbed them both, and again, nearly crushed them with his overpowered muscle. Jed just gasped a little bit before tapping Loidwick’s arm and pointing to himself.

“Air...” He gasped out. Mark somehow managed to slip out of the grip.

“OOOOOH... GOD... Ahh... Fuck.” Mark said as he gasped for air. Loidwick let out a loud laugh before putting Jed on the ground and laughed again.

“Now you two know to come back and visit don’t ya? Lest I have to give you the ‘Goodbye forever’ hug.” Loidwick said with a wicked smile. Jed just held up a hand and nodded.

“Yeah... I got it.” Jed wheezed out.

“Yep.... I’ll come back sometime.” Mark coughed out.

“Good! Now I was saving these for when you left, so since you are leavin’ I guess I’ll go grab them!” Loidwick said as he walked over to the refrigerator and opened it up before pulling out two bags and hand one to both Mark and Jed. “It’s some of that ‘Beef Jerky’ you two told me about. Thought I would give it a try. Came out pretty good if I say so.”

“Well... Thanks Loid!” Jed said opening the bag to see a bunch of bits of jerky inside. He wrapped it up and put it in his bag before grabbing Loidwick’s talon and shaking it. “We’ll be seeing you around.”

“See ya!” Mark said before walking away. Jed followed him out and they walked out of the kitchen as Loidwick went back to work. After a few minutes of walking they found Celestia waiting for them by the carriage outside. They walked out and saw Luna leaning against the carriage playing on her PSvita again until she saw them and waved happily before going back to her game. They arrived before noticing one small detail.

“Hey where’s Twilight?” Jed asked looking around.

“Hmm... Seems fishy... Hehe... Fishy.” Mark said chuckling to himself.

“Oh she is just getting a few things.” Celestia said giggling. “You know her. She has to triple check everything before she even thinks about getting packed.”

“Yeah. I swear she is a little bit obsessive of having everything perfect.” Jed said snickering.

“Eh, can’t really complain now can we... She did give us a home.” Mark said.

“I wasn’t complaining!” Jed said in a mock mortified tone. “I was just saying she needs to take it easy sometimes.”

“Hey Luna wha’cha playin’?” Mark asked as he noticed that Luna was gaming away the day.

“Colt of Duty Black Ops two: Declassified...” Luna mumbled out as she was focused on her game.

“Even this universe has bad games....” Mark said facepalming.

“Hey Nazi Zombies is pretty fun!” Jed said. “Anyway... Where is Twil-”

“I am here! Sorry sorry! I got sidetracked!” Twilight shouted as she run up to the carriage and panted a bit as she stopped and stood up straight as she held the strap of her purple bag. “I forgot that we were leaving today...” She said with a sheepish smile. “Too used to staying here for a month at a time.”

“Ehehe.... Right.” Mark said shaking his head. “League is still better.”

“Honestly I am not going to argue.” Jed said laughing before walking over to the door of the carriage and pulling it open. “Anyway shall we go?”

“Yes lets. And I have good news for the ride home!” Twilight said happily as she walked over and got inside before sitting on the far end. Mark just got in and sat next to Twilight. Then Jed hopped in and waved at Celestia and Luna before closing the door letting the Pegasi in the front know it was okay to start moving.

A few minutes later, they were in the air as Twilight looked out the window a sighed before she looked at Mark and Jed and smiled before saying. “Okay you guys know how I said I had good news right?”

“Yeah you said you had some good news.” Mark said leaning back and sinking into his seat.

“Well I talked it over with Celestia, since most of the reason she wouldn’t let up about, and I got it official.” Twilight said as she pulled out a small envelope and handed it to Mark with a big smile. “You two are now officially part of the Sparkle family.”

Mark sat there for a few seconds before looking like he was thinking really hard. “My name then would be.... Mark A. Sparkle.... Hehe.... Sounds fancy.” he said with a huge smile.

Jed just snickered before giving a loud laugh. “Oh god... I just realized something fucking horrible about my name!” Jed said laughing and clutching his sides. “My name is Jed I. Sparkle. Now just take the initials.”

Mark just sat there before starting to snicker, then chuckle before breaking into a full laughter. “J.I.S!” Jed just burst into laughter as Twilight blushed a bit and joined in the laughter. The entire trip was simply them laughing and enjoying the new company of them all being family.

The trip was over pretty fast because you know. Time flies when you have fun. As they landed, Jed opened the door and hopped out and stretched before letting out a sigh. As they all piled out of the carriage, two certain mares came out of nowhere and tackled their respective Humans.

“Oh hai.” Mark said, before getting a deep and passionate kiss from Lyra.

“Wassup my little Goggles!” Jed said happily as he hugged the mare on top of him while Twilight sat there confused.

“Wait when did this happen?” Twilight asked scratching her head.

Mark just broke the kiss quickly before saying. “Oh snap... J.I.S, Mom is on to us.”

“Oh great, my name is J.I.S. now?” Jed said chuckling.

“Yes...” Mark said as he hugged Lyra.

“Ah... Welp, that’s fine by me. Anyway should we tell her or leave her in the dark?” Jed asked.

“Tell me what!?” Twilight said flustered and huffing a bit.

“Clam it mom!” Mark said. “Well thats up to you, but isn’t it obvious what's going on here?”

“Mark... It’s Twilight.” Jed deadpanned. “If she didn’t get it from them tackle hugging us, that kiss and all the nicknames, will she get it now?”

“Right here ya know...” Twilight said pouting a bit.

“.... I honestly don’t know what to say right now.” Mark said as he gently guided Lyra off him and got up, looking confused as fuck. Lyra just pouted a bit.

“Hmmm. This calls for my detective hat!... Wait I left that back on earth. Shit.” Jed said laying his head back in the dirt as Vinyl nuzzled him. “Eh just tell her. It’s not like she is going to ground us or anything.”

“You tell her!” Mark said stubbornly.

“Why do I have to do it?” Jed whined.

“Because you want to tell her... I’m not sure if want.” Mark said.

“Mark the only thing you ever are sure you want is Ice cream.” Jed deadpanned.

Mark just looked horrified for a few seconds. “Son of a bitch, forgot the Ice cream back in Canterlot.”

“Welp... To add onto the shit pile.” Jed began before he looked up at Twilight. “Twilight Vinyl and Lyra are our Marefriends and it happened around a couple weeks ago.” Twilight simply blinked and opened her mouth to say something, but stopped as she found nothing to say. “Uh oh... I think I broke her.”

“We are fucked.” Mark said, slowly backing away.

“Commence running?” Jed said standing up, much to Vinyl’s dismay.

“Dunno, she's a alicorn... Her speciality.... MAGIC.”

“Eh good point. Maybe if we had a head start?” Jed suggested as he saw Twilight’s expression contort a bit more, slowly changing to one of anger and frustration.

“... Maybe?” Mark said looking at Jed.

“Well there is one thing I know.” Jed said as he turned around and stretched for a second. “Cool guys don’t look at explosions. They RUN LIKE A BAT OUTTA HELL TO GET AWAY FROM THEM!”

With that being said, they both turned tail and ran like mad men to get away from the Twilight as her mane and tail burst into flames before her massive wings extended and took to the skies in order to catch the two humans. Vinyl and Lyra simply looked at one another before shrugging and following the chaos at a leisurely pace.

“Why do I have a feeling this is going to become a normality in our lives?” Vinyl asked Lyra as they walked down the cobblestone roads of Ponyville.

“Hey weirder things have happened to us.” Lyra said shrugging as Vinyl nodded in agreement.

“That is true.” Vinyl said snickering. “I mean we are dating Aliens for Celestia’s sake!”

The two mares laughed and reminisced as they followed the small Path of destruction that the flaming mare, known as Twilight, and two feeling humans left.
