We were flying down the mountain slowly. I landed in the gardens and looked at the place that I burst out of the statue. I slowly walked over to the pedestal and sat down and started to sing. There were no words just a sad and haunting melody. As I sang all the inhabitants of the castle walked out and sat in the gardens looking at me with tears in their eyes. Well Courage didn’t but that is because he didn’t have any eyes to shed tears with. As the last note flew past my lips I stood and looked over the whole of the castle and bowed. Octavia walked up to me and bowed, I shook my head and picked her up and put her down on her hooves.

“Don’t bow before me, I am not Royalty.” I said with sternness. I was able to hold it for a few seconds before I bust a gut laughing. She was shocked to say the least.

“I am not bowing because I think you royal. I am bowing because you are a master of the arts. Anypony who could sing a song so moving that he brought an entire castle to tears is worthy of that title.” She looked up at me with a smile gracing her muzzle. I leaned down and hugged her.

“Thanks for the compliment but I don’t deserve any title.” I said as I walked away from the now frowning pony and into the castle halls. After a few seconds of walking I pulled out a set of glow sticks and started to juggle them for no reason except to entertain myself. After a few minutes of Juggling I got bored so I made them disappear into thin air.

“So you are going to keep them in check right?” Said Luna as she walked out of a alcove right next to where I was standing. I just nodded and kept walking.We walking in silence for most of my walk but as we reached my destination Luna spoke up.

“I-I’m sorry that I jumped to the worst possible outcome without asking what your motives were.” Luna said with a blush. I just shrugged and turned her royal regalia into a banana suit. She was stound for a second but then she got really pissed so I teleported into my home and made it so that no non-chaos uses could get in. I hear pounding from the front door.

“Paradox you get out here and take you beating like a stallion.” Bellowed in a voice that could shatter windows. I laughed when Fear and Courage teleported into my rooms, but my laughter was short lived as the worked together to  undo my spell. Luna walked into my rooms with a triumphant look. I ran out of the house shouting obscenities back at the traitorous gods.

“Stop running it will only make things harder for yourself.” Luna bellowed as she flew after me shouting threats of what she would do to me if she caught me. I kept running like my life depended on it.

“I am not running I am advancing in the opposite direction.” I yelled over my shoulder as I teleported into Celestia’s bath. I jumped past a blushing Celestia and hopped out the window. I flew down to Canterlot and found myself at Doughnut Joe’s doughnut shop. I walked into the doughnut shop and sat down at the bar and ordered a chocolate milkshake and drank the glass and snorted the milkshake.

“That was some good stuff thank you Joe.” I said as I stood up to pay, and as I did Luna burst through the door. I left some coins on the counter and jumped out of the window. Joe looked at the money for a second and noticed that they were gold one-hundred bit pieces. He gasped in amazement and swiped the money into his coin purse.

“Alright I give.” I said as I suddenly stopped in the road making Luna fall into a mud puddle. She slowly stood up out of the water and walked over to me. She looked me up and down then nodded as she turned sideways, I waved my hand and the suit disappeared. She looked over her self and once she was sure that all the traces of that awful suit was gone she turned to me and hoofed me in the arm. I didn’t hurt but to make her feel better I rubbed the place with a salmon that I just found laying on the floor.

“Alright so what do you want to do now that I have dragged you down from the castle?” I asked as I pulled out my compass that showed me where everything I could ever want is at. It was pointing to the east. I put it away and walked out into the actual streets and started to look at the shops. I pulled out my compus again and it was still pointing east towards a single stall. It was purple and there was a Unicorn standing there. I walked over to the stall and found that they were selling hot sauce.

“Oh praise be to the old gods there is hot sauce in Equestria.” I cried with happiness as hot sauce is my favorite spice. I grabbed four bottles and put them in my shopping bag that wasn’t there a moment ago.

“How much do I owe you?” I asked as I shed manly tears of joy. The unicorn that I now saw was a mare so we will refer to her a she.

“150 Bits” She said trying to rip me off. I just made a gold and silver bit and placed them on the table. I walked away humming to myself as I reached Luna she had a hungry look in her eyes.

“Would you like to cook with that ingredient that you just bought with fake money?” She asked in a tone that said this if I didn’t comply I would be in trouble for making money. I nodded as I headed to the next thing that caught my eye. It was a fortune tellers caravan. No one was even looking at it. so I walked up and rapped on the door. The door had a sign on it that read. All that find my shop will find the path to the truth. Now I know this place is legit. The door slowly opened and a blind earth pony was standing there.

“Ah Paradox I was wondering when I would get to meet you.” Said the blind pony as he stepped aside so I could enter. I walked into the caravan and sat down on the throw pillow. The stallion walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a crystal ball. He set down the ball on the table and as he let it go it started to float on its own accord.

“You future is riddled with many twists and turns. You will find love but it will not be in the soil but in the stars. Also you will have to fight an enemy of your own making, and your greatest ally will be your greatest enemy. This is all I can tell you.” The Stallion started to fade away as did his shop. I stood up on the now empty cobblestone patch as the Luna stared at me with a look of concern. I heard the stallions voice on the wind.

“Let the spirits of the past be with you always.” The disembodied voice whispered in my ear as Luna walked up to me. I stood and dusted of my pants.

“Are you alright you have been sitting there for a few minutes with a look of complete concentration.” She said as she looked me over. I thought about what the Spirit Elder had said to me, and with a look of surprise I looked over at Luna who had a look of worry on her face.

‘You will find love among the stars.” I whispered to myself as I started to walk back to the castle. Luna silently followed behind me as I thought on what he had said. I looked over at Luna as we walked.

‘Surely she doesn’t like me like that.’ I thought to myself as we reached the gates of the castle. We walked through the halls in silence. We arrived at the throne room just in time to see the door that I made for Mecytoc open and the Rattilion walked through the door.

“Hello Paradox could you tell me where Fluttershy is?” Asked Mecytoc as he walked toward us with a hopeful look as he held a bouquet of flowers behind his back. I walked up to him and nodded and gave him directions to her rooms. After he was gone I caught Luna slowly tip-hoofing towards the door to the ship. I used my magic to shut and lock it. I walked to my door and leaned against the wall.

“Luna before I make you some veggie tacos I need to ask you a question. Do you like me in a romantic sense?” I asked while looking at Luna with a piercing look that would pick up and non-verbal signs.

“N-N-No what would g-g-give y-you that idea.” She stuttered as she blushed and backed away. I walked up to her and lightly kissed her on the lips she was shocked at first and she looked like she was going to hit me for a few seconds but she started to close her eyes and lean into the kiss. After a few seconds of kissing her I pulled back and she looked like she was in a dream come true. Or she was until she realized what happened then she was glowing she was blushing so hard.

“Oh just a guess really.” I said as I opened the door and swung my arm to invite her into the my room. She slowly walked past me looking at me the whole time. I looked back at her and after she was inside I shut the door. I walked behind her and ran my finger up her spine causing  her to shudder as I walked into the kitchen to start making tacos. I laughed as she walked into the kitchen and stood besides me with that same blush from before. She looked at me with tears in her eye.

“Why are you teasing me?” She cried as she fell to the floor. I used my magic to pick her up and have her face me. I looked directly into her eyes and kissed her nose. I continued to cook as she cried. As I was finishing the last of the food I spoke up.

“Do you know what I was doing today in that empty patch of ground?” I asked as I kept floating her around me and started to put the food on the table. After I was done I turned to Luna and she shook her head.

“I was getting my fortune told by a Spirit Elder. One of the thing he told me is that I would find love in the stars.” As I said this Luna looked shocked and then she hugged me. I hugged her back. She backed up a bit and looked at me she pursed her lips and leaned into a kiss that was light and loving. We heard a cough from behind us and I turned around to find Celestia looking at me.

“I think you have some explaining to do sister.” Said Celestia as she walked over to us with a frown on her face. I put her down and let them walk away from me and they started to have a heated conversation. After a few minutes of talking Luna was smiling and Celestia looked at me with a glare. She walked over to me and picked me up with her magic she held me a mere inch away from her face.

“If you hurt my sister I will use all my power to erase you from existence.” she said as she passed out from the strain of holding me up. I picked her up and teleported out to her room and put her in her bed. I teleported into my home. I walked over to the kitchen and hugged Luna from behind.

“Lets eat our dinner love.” I whispered into her ear as I kissed the back of her horn. I walked over to the table and puffed a single candle into existence and lit it with my lighter. I looked over at Luna who hasn’t moved since the kiss. She had a huge blush that went past her muzzle and went down her neck. I laughed as she fell over and made a sheep noise like Fluttershy did in the Dragon episode. Next Chapter: Chapter 6 Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 19 Minutes
