Walking outside, the black shoulder length shirt I wore easily stood out among the other many color ponies, many waving at me, seeming glad I were awake. I was on my way to the market to see if Twilight was indeed there, to find many of them closing already. This confused me greatly, and when I asked about why they were closing, they said something about Nightmare Night. I remember hearing about this holiday; it was like the Halloween of my world. I guess even though evil still ran amuck, they had to go on with there holidays; maybe they thought it would better help them think of other things? Shrugging it off as nothing I made my way toward the café, thinking she may be there just to have a light lunch, I was right, for there she was, her back to me of course, but there were two others with her.

The first one was a bit bigger than Twilight, not as big as Big Mac, maybe, but I couldn't tell since he was not around. His coat was a pure white, like snow in a way, his hair which reach to the end of his neck line was three shades of blue, well to me they were; I am somewhat color blind. As I looked at his hair, I noticed that he had a horn, so a Unicorn huh? The clothing he wore reminded me of a fancy sword fighter from the medieval time in the history books of my home world, a bit of red but more of a blue as the main color. When I saw his Cutie Mark it looked to be a blue Shield with the same mark of Twilight in the middle, three stars on the top. Light blue eyes looking at Twilight as well as the other, which I saw was a small Alicorn.

She seemed to have a pink coat, not as pink as Pinkie Pie to me, but still pink all the same. Like the other princesses I have met, she wore gold hoof shoes and wore a small crown and gold necklace, even her eyes seemed blue to me, maybe a little darker. Her hair and tail not flowing like that of the other three, but still it was long with many different colors. I truly couldn't see her Cutie mark because of the hair and wings being in the way. Walking up to them, I noticed the two look up at me for a moment, the white pony gave a small smile and nodded to me as I nodded back, not really sure who he was as Twilight looked to him.

"What are you nodding to?" she asked as she turned around and then her eyes grew wide. "Brandon! You're awake!"

"I sure hope so," I answered with a chuckle as she got off the hay she used as a seat as I jumped over the low railing and knelt down so that she could wrap her hooves around me. I saw the other two looking at us with smiles as we broke away. "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I know you two?" Twilight looked to me and then to them.

"Oh, I guess I didn't tell you about this,Brandon," she then went to the white one. "This is my older brother Shiny Armour, and this," she went over to the Alicorn. "Is my sister-in-law Princess Cadence!" ah, so family, I wonder what they were doing here then? Amour stood up and went over to me and brought a hoof up as I took it and shook.

"It is very nice to meet you," he told me while we shook. "Twilight told me a lot about you in her letter I received before coming here; and how you saved her from Darkness." I nodded to him as we pulled away from each other. "To think, the captain of the guards couldn't even help his baby sister..."

"Do not beat yourself up," Princess Cadence told him nuzzle his chin slightly. "You could not be everywhere at once." She looked to me and held her hoof out as I took it differently then Shiny Armour, holding the underside and shaking softly. "And it is nice to meet you tooBrandon."

"As to you Princess," she giggled slightly before waving her hoof.

"Just call me Cadence; will you join us for lunch?"

"I would love to; I hope I am not intruding though,"

"No it is quite alright, here sit!" she moved beside Shiny Armour as I took her old seat, to which Twilight moved closer as I took a menu and looked though it.

As I studied the menu, I felt myself being watched, looking up I saw Cadence looking at me as she blinked and looked away before looking back.

"Brandon," she started as the other two watched us. "Do you feel...any different?"

"Different?" I repeated as she nodded.

"Twilight told us how you fused with Moon," I was glad they were now using her new name. "And how you yourself turned into an Alicorn, I'm just asking...do you feel as if something changed within you?"

"Well..." I started while placing the menu down. "I did find something new this morning when I awoken."

"What?" asked Twilight with some worry as I showed them my Cutie Mark. I heard all three of them gasp slightly as they leaned in closer to look at it, I felt a somewhat blush coming on because of how close they were, but I didn't truly mind. "This looks like the one when you were Eclipse Brandon." I nodded my head at this as Shiny Armour also looked up to me.

"But what does it mean," he asked looking at it and then me. "Each Cutie Mark is to show a talent that a pony has."

"Not really Shiny," Twilight answered as we all looked to her. "Many times, a Cutie Mark can mean what the person is...hrm...and I think I know what each of those markings means."

"Oh?" I asked as she nodded pointing to the moon and sun.

"As we know the sun and moon means day and night, Celestia and Luna also bring us the night and day, which is why they have those Cutie Marks. But, a sun and moon could also mean good and evil." She took a deep breath and then went on. "Brandon, I know you are good that is most for sure, but also, the way you fight...can be a bit vile in a way." I rubbed the back of my head, so I was good and evil in a way. "The sword means that you will attack and protect the one you care for the most, kinda like Shiny Armour shield in a way. Though a sword is much deadlier." At last she pointed to the black eagle wings. "The eagle is a symbol of both spirit and the warrior; we know that you are a warrior Brandon, so that is what it mostly means." I looked down at my Cutie Mark, getting a pretty good idea on what it stood for, and it filled me with great pride to know I held such a powerful symbol on my arm. Thanking Twilight for telling me, I was about to reach for the menu once more, when it glowed a soft black color and floated into my hands.

No one moved at the table, I looked around thinking it was just Moon being helpful, but she was no where to be found.

"What the..."

"Brandon..." Twilight whispered. "Your...hand..." looking down, I found the same black glow around my right hand, as I blinked it went away, the aura around the menu also leaving as Cadence then nodded.

"I thought as much." I looked up at her in confusion and then back at my own hand. "Though you were only with Moon for such a sort time, you have gained the skill to wield magic now."

"Wha?" I asked looking at her and then to Twilight who was equally as shocked as myself.

"The magic that brought you and Moon to each own bodies, did you ever think of how they knew such a spell?" she looked between the two of us. "Brandon, you are not the first to share the body of an Alicorn, and no, this does not count Luna. You see, many earth ponies wished to use magic as well, so they, if proven worthy, fused with a Alicorn for a little over a week, and then was released, giving them ether wings, or the power over magic."

Let me tell you...I was...shocked, that was the only word I could use, well okay I could use a lot more but I can't spell for shit so I won't even try alright. Twilight was still as shocked as I was as she looked to me but then smiled.

"Hey, now I can teach you something now huh?" she answered with a sly grin as I only blushed and then laughed loudly.

"Twilight not at the table really," her brother answered as we all shared a laugh. Just then the sounds of wings were heard fluttering toward us, I thought it was ether Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash, but was surprised to see a grey mare Pegasus fly toward us. Looking at her, I couldn't help but see that she almost looked like Dash; I mean she did have the same body structure of my speedy friend, but the coat was grey as her hair was a dirty like blond. And where Rainbow Dash's Cutie Mark was of a rainbow lighting bolt in a cloud, hers' was of bubbles...yeah bubbles. When she landed and came closer with her mail bag over her back, I knew that was the mail mare Derpy I had seen flying around a lot, though I never got to meet her up-close. And when she was close as I stood up and jumped over to see her, her eyes...were crossed!

"You Brandon?" she asked as she sat down looking at me with unblinking eyes as I could only nod as she then went in the bag and pulled out a large box with a letter on the top. "For you!"

"Uh...thanks, here let me give you something." I turned around to grab some bits out of my back pocket, when I got ten I turned back to give them to her when I saw a large blue berry muffin in her hoof as she chewed on it. "Hey...where'd that muffin come from?"

"Muffin button," she answered taking another bite as I looked at her with a blank look.

"Uh...there no such thing as a muffin button."

"Then where did I get this from?" she asked me looking down at it as I only shrugged giving her the bits, when I turned to leave I was about to ask her something else when I turned back, she had...another muffin?!

"Now where did that one come from?" I asked her again as she looked at me with her crossed eyes.

"Muffin button," and then she took off and flew away.

After getting back with the other three I placed the box on the table and took the letter, seeing the Cutie Mark that was my own, I was confused and read the bottom of the scroll to see that it was from Princess Moon. Breaking the seal I opened it and slowly started to read.

Dear Brandon, Follower of the Night: As I told you early this morning, I can not use a lot of magic for fear that I may not be trusted, so that is why I have sent you this letter and package via mail mare. As you know, both Princess Luna and Celestia have their guards. Since I can not use a lot of my magic, I asked them if I could have some guards as well. They agreed, and when asked which of their guards I would like to have, I told them I wanted you.

I blinked as I read the later; the other three seemed to see my blank look as they came closer to read as I did.

I know this is coming a little too fast, and how I didn't ask you in person, but I thought what better pony to guard me then the one who showed me the new view of the world and how some pony may enjoy mine and Luna's nights. Within the package is your captain grabs, I do hope that you will become my captain Brandon, I feel no better then to have someone with such a strong heart and will to keep me safe should the need raise.

_ _

Your friend for all eternity: Princess Moon

_ _

Placing the letter on the table, I started to unwrap the package slowly, opening the black bow that was inside and saw what was within.

Within seemed to be a large black rope, the inside seemed to be a blood red, and around where my waist would be, it was cut straight down making movement very easy. The chest plate and other armour were within it as well, the design of the chest plate looked to be human size, wondering how she got my size; I picked it up as it glistened in the sunlight. Going down the middle was the outline of her Cutie Mark. The arm guards were also sliver, reaching up to where my shoulders would be, but ending where my wrist would start. On the shoulder parts, where my Cutie Mark would be on both side, where my own Cutie Mark craved within the metal. The metal boots were also within the package as I brought them out and saw how where my knee would be, were spikes much like when I was an Alicorn.

Shiny Armour was reading over the letter I had gotten again as he looked from it to me.

"You are going to take her offer to be her guard?" I didn't answer at first; just looking at the armour and rope she had given me. I wanted to be her guard really I did, maybe if ponies saw that I trusted her to much, that they too would start to trust her. But would that mean me leaving Twilight and Ponyville? "You know you don't have to leave Ponyville to be her captain guard." I looked up in confusion as he smiled at me. "I know for a fact that Moon already has some guards watching her, for I placed some to watch over her. Of course this was also made so that we would know if she did indeed try to turn back to her old ways." He looked at me as I gave him a wary look. "I'm just doing my duty of Princess Celestia, but if you are her captain, then you can stay here, and only leave to be by her side when the need is truly great, like if she was in grave danger." Closing my eyes and then crossing my hands over each other while placing them under my chin, I thought long and hard about my choices, I would be able to stay with Twilight, that was for sure, and I did want to...oh what the hell?

"Do you mind telling her I accept when you return?" I asked as he smiled and nodded as well as Twilight as I felt her hug me slightly as I hugged her back.

After we ate our lunch and said our goodbyes, I and twilight made our way back toward our place as I held the package under my arm.

"So this...Nightmare Night thing, you going out?" I asked Twilight as she looked to me and nodded her head.

"Oh yes, and I already have an idea of what I shall be!"

"Which is," I asked looking down at her as she smiled.

"Secret." She answered my question as I only rolled my eyes at her, I kinda did want to know right now what she would be, but I guess I could wait; I think. But on our way back, Twilight stopped as she looked ahead, I did as well to see that Princess Luna and Celestia were at our home, as if waiting for us.

"OhBrandon!" Luna cried out as she came over to us in haste. "It is good to see you awake and well, how do you feel?"

"Fine," I answered her with a nod. "Also check this out." I lifted my sleeve to show my Cutie Mark as she gasped, the white Alicorn also coming over to see.

"So you have gained a Cutie Mark Brandon...it looks like the one when you were an Alicorn."

"That is it," I told her. "Speaking of which...it seems I can..."

"Use magic?" me and Twilight looked to each other and then back to her as she smiled. "We thought you might...and we have other news as well."

"Which is?"

"Come inside so we may tell."

Following the two inside, me and Twilight sat down on the sofa as Celestia started.

"As you know, fusing with Moon allowed you to become an Alicorn," I nodded at this. "But it also did something else.

"Like what?" I asked her as Luna walked over.

"Do you know why Moon looks much like me?" she asked as I shook my head slightly. "It was because she was fused with me for so long, her now body look like me in a way."

"So?" I asked her as I blinked slightly.

"If you shared her soul and were giving a body like her, then some of her DNA as well as mine...were put into you."

"Say what?!" I cried as Celestia nodded her head moving closer.

"Brandon, there is a reason to why your Cutie Mark looks like a half moon half sun as well. It is because, in a way, you have become our half brother."

"What...I...and...Fuck?" I was still so confused, I couldn't' even use real words right! Me...Their half brothers...would that make me...?

"That would makeBrandona prince then?!" asked Twilight with shock in her voice as both of the larger mares smiled and nodded. "Wow...that is amazing...I'm dating royalty now."

This was...so much to wrap around in one go, I was...now their brother, I was now...prince of Equestria...unholy shit face cock master! I think my face gave me away for me being confused and shocked, for I saw Twilight wave her hoof in front of my face a few times as she clapped them together as I blinked and shook my head slightly looking at her and then to my...sisters.

"I know this is a lot to take in at once," Celestia told me. "But you don't have to worry about royalty work...well at least not now."

"Huh?"

"If you are our brother now, since you have Alicorn DNA, you may even be able to take your Alicorn sate once more in the coming years. Also you may live as long as we do, as you know; we are over a thousand years of age." You know...that does sound somewhat cool, but then that means... Turning to look at Twilight I think she knew what I was thinking, but I don't think the two older mares saw our looks.

"Well...we shall leave you two alone then,"

"Wait," I spoke up standing. "May I speak to you two...alone?" they both looked to each other and nodded as we went upstairs as Twilight went to do something else.

I sat down on the bed upstairs as my...sisters...ugh that's gonna take some getting use to; sat on the floor as they watched as I shook my head.

"Please tell me this is some sort of joke...not to be rude or anything, but...really; me getting the DNA of Moon and then me becoming all three of you princess brother!?"

"It may seem strange, but we did a test."

"A test?" I asked them as they nodded.

"You know in your home world, how if the male don't think that the child is theirs by blood?" I nodded my head. "We were able to go to your world for a moment to get such a test; we also went to our healer and asked her to change it up a bit. While you were sleeping, we took a bit of your blood, and then all three of our bloods as well. When the healer brought them all together, they matched as if siblings would." I looked down at my hands. So one day I would become an Alicorn, I'll admit, I kinda liked being an Alicorn, but still...wow... Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I thought what I was going to say next as I let a small smile cross over my face.

"Always wanted sister's truth be told." I said looking at them as they also smiled. "Does this mean I have to have guards around me?"

"It would be best yes," Celestia told me. "But we will not allow guards around you, if you wish not to allow more then the ponies you pick to know of what you are now."

"Please, thanks." I nodded to them as they nodded back. "Also...one other thing."

"Yes?" they both asked as I smiled.

"I know Nightmare Night is tonight, and I had this great idea...do you think it is possible to turn me into a Pegasus or pony for the night with my Cutie Mark?" my new sisters turned to each other, did I see...a smile from them.

"But of course, Luna told me with a smile. "When the night comes and the moon is rising, you shall change into your inner pony, not Eclipse, but someone else."

"Alright then, thanks."

"So how do you think they are going to react when I tell them?" after Celestia and Luna left, I thought it would be better to tell all of our friends at once about my Cutie Mark, and as well as me being a prince now. Prince...you would think that you could only be a prince in an old video game or the prince ofLondonor something like that. Twilight only slightly shrugged looking up at me as we waited at the door, Who had long since gone, maybe ten minutes to send a small note about me being awake.

"Well I know for sure Rarity might treat you differently," she told me with a nod. "She has tried to date a prince once before...didn't turn out so well."

"How so?" I asked as she chuckled.

"Seem he was more worried about him not being dirty then about Rarity, and if I'm not mistaken, she told him that the only thing royal about him was that he was a royal pain!"

"That reminds me," I spoke up looking down at her. "If I start getting a big head about this...hoof me in the head will ya?" Twilight giggled but nodded all the same as I smiled and looked forward once more; tilting my head when I saw a cloud of dust. "Hey what's that?" I asked pointing out as Twilight also narrowed her eyes to see.

"I'm not sure," she answered. Well I got my answered as a pink blur tackled hugged me hard, the force of the tackle sending me on my back and sliding along the floor as a very high and speed talking pony spoke.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh you're alright!" I groaned as I looked at my chest to see Pinkie Pie hugging me tightly as she then looked up at me. "I thought you would never wake up, you were not moving and sleeping it was like you were in a coma, or just having a nice dream. Oh I hope we didn't wake you when having a nice dream!"

"It's good to see you too Pinkie," I told my friend while petting her mane.

"Now we have to have a-." She didn't get too finished as I pinched her lips.

"Oh no, no more parties for a while had too many in the last month!"

"Aww..." she moaned as I let her lips go.

"Darling!" I looked over as I got up to see Rarity standing at the door, she came over as I went on my knee as she rounded up and held me in a tight hug. "Oh my stars, I thought for sure you would never wake, it felt like forever since I heard your voice...oh say something to me please..." I softly chuckled; I really hoped she didn't have a crush on me still.

"It is so nice to see you again Rarity." She somewhat cooed at my voice as I petted her back. "How was everyone?"

"How was everyone?" she asked as if I had hit her. 'What do you think? We were all worried sick about you! When you just collapsed like you did...we thought you've..." I sighed and hugged her all the tighter.

"Well I'm fine now...don't worry."

"Brandon!" I looked up to see Rainbow Dash fly down at high speed, Fluttershy right behind her as fast as she could go. When the two landed Rarity went to the side as me and dash bro-fisted as me and Fluttershy hugged. "I'm glad you're alright man, Twilight was a wreck without you!" I looked over for a moment to see twilight looking at me too, also looking down as if she was embarrassed that it was true.

After a while and a lot of questions, we were inside the house as we all sat in a circle. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were also with us as well, all three of them sitting ether on my knees or on my lap as I rubbed their backs slightly as they were the worst of my friends, the only one I had yet to see was Spike. Shrugging it off since I would tell him the very same thing later anyway, I looked at each of my friends as I let out a deep sigh.

"Okay, so I gather you all here today to tell you two things, well, one of them is to really show you." I slowly lifted up my shelve to show them my Cutie Mark as they all gasped, the three girls on me the loudest.

"No way!" Scootaloo cried. "You got one now?!"

"Does that mean..." Sweetie Belle asked looking up at me. "You're gonna leave the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" I laughed and shook my head.

"And let you girls search without me, fat chance!" I saw their once sad, upset faces turn into wide grins as Apple bloom and Sweetie Belle hugged me, seemed Scootaloo just placed the tip of her hoof in her mouth making gagging noises as I only chuckled, giving her a small nudgy.

"So what is the other thing you wanna to tell us all?" Applejack asked me as I looked to her. "Is there something ya'll keeping from us or something?" I and Twilight looked to each other for a moment. I really wanted to tell them...but I didn't want our friendship to be any different then what it was. I mean I was still freaking out about being a brother, even if it was half by DNA to Moon, Luna, and Celestia.

"Oh I know!" Pinkie Pie cried out while jumping up and down. "Twilight's pregnant!"

If me and her were drinking anything, or eating anything for that matter, we would've spat it right back out from what our happy go lucky friend just said.

"W...what?!" we both cried out. "No," I went on. "She is not pregnant!"

"Then...are you? But how is that possible, you're a guy!"

"I'm not pregnant ether!"

"Then...who's pregnant?"

"NO ONE!" we both cried at once yet again. After the laughers of everyone else died down I sighed while crossing my arms. "Listen...everyone please, can you promise me something?" they all looked to each other and then back to me, Twilight coming to sit by me as she laid her head on my shoulder. "You can not tell anyone, and I mean ANYONE what I'm about to tell you next...understand? Only the Princesses know of this...since they told us." Looking all around at each other once more, they all nodded their heads and then looked back to us. Taking a deep breath I exhaled and closed my eyes. "When I fused with Moon, I was given some of her DNA, this also giving me Luna's DNA as well."

"So?" asked Rainbow Dash as I gave her a stern look, telling her with my eyes to not say anything else.

"How much do you all know about the DNA structure?" the mutter of confusion answered my question. "Okay...lets say it like this, Rarity and Sweetie Belle, you two are sisters right?" they both nodded. "Well your DNA would be somewhat the same in a way, because of you being siblings." I think that got them thinking on what I was getting at.

"Does..." Fluttershy spoke in her whisper like voice. "Does that make you now...the brother of the princesses?" I softly nodded my head at her question as Applejack's eyes grew wide.

"Whoa Nelly!" she cried out standing on her hooves at once. "Then that makes you...you..."

"Prince Brandon now...yes."

At once, all but Twilight bowed down before me as I groaned.

"Girls please don't," I spoke out as they got back up. "I...I don't want this to change our friendship."

"But you are now a prince!" Rarity spoke up as she came up to me sitting before me. "Not only a normal prince, but prince of all of Equestria!"

"Celestia said I was only prince in title for now," I told her while looking away. "Saying that I didn't need to worry about the work that comes with that title for a while. And beside, I don't know the first thing on how to be a prince."

"What's there to know?" asked Rainbow Dash with a grin. "Just boss ponies around!" I gave her yet another glare as she only grinned and chuckled.

"But really...please, don't tell anyone else about what I am now, please?" they all looked to each other but smiled all the same.

"You can count on us partner!" Applejack told me while patting my back. "If you don't want anypony to know right now, then we'll keep it all hush hush, right ya'll?"

"Yeah!" Pinkie Pie chirped. "But when you do tell everyone I want to plan the party!"

"I'll keep your secret this timeBrandon," Fluttershy whispered giving me a smile as I smiled back at her.

"And since you're staying with us, we won't tell a soul!" Scootaloo answered as the rest of our group nodded their little heads.

"Thanks girls..."

Hours later, they had all left, leaving myself and Twilight alone in the library/home that we shared. Since not seeing Spike all day, I asked Twilight this time as she answered.

"Spike went though a small growing spell," she answered me. "He grew a bit, so did his lust for rubies, so he's out hunting, I guess he got better too because he went farther out of Ponyville."

"I see," I answered with a nod as we sat on our bed, her head on my lap as I rubbed her hair softly.

"Remember when Pinkie said about me being...pregnant?" I softly chuckled at this.

"Yeah; why?"

"Do you want children one day?" I looked down at her as she looked up. Was she truly asking...?

"Well...sure, but can ponies and human really have kids together?"

"Remember, you're not fully human anymore." She gave me a small smile as I laughed slightly.

"True dat...True dat." I sighed slightly while still looking at her. "But yes...I wouldn't mind having a foal one day."

"Well..." she answered looking away for a moment. "My heat is coming soon, since we ponies go into heat twice a year, one at the spring, and one as the fall starts."

"Hrm," I answered rubbing her neck and back more as the sound of the door opening downstairs and closing was heard.

"Twilight, I'm back!" it was Spike, but I noticed that his voice sounded a bit more...deeper.

"We're up here Spike!"

"We...ohBrandonis awake huh?" as the sound of claws on floor came up, I was shocked by how much Spike really did change. His face didn't really have that roundness anymore, but more of a triangle look. The green fins on his head, which looked to be soft and rounded, were now from where I was standing, more sharp looking, though he easily pushed them back as if they were his hair; the same with the yellow fins on the side of his head. When I stood up to go over to him, I noticed that he was now taller then my waist, the fins easily hitting my chest as he looked up a bit. His tail much longer and even he had tiny little wings on his back.

"Holy shit man!" I told him as he chuckled and once more rubbed his fins like hair once more.

"Yeah I know, I was surprised too as well, I mean, Twilight's magic did stop me from growing big...cause of something I don't wanna talk about, maybe the spell is slowly wearing down?" I softly nodded at this, bringing my hand to my chin.

"Well, you're looking more and more of a dragon...in fact...I think I have an idea for a Nightmare Moon costume for ya!"

"Really? What?" I grinned and then looked to Twilight.

"Hey, do you mind sending a letter to my s...I mean to the princesses?" I asked Twilight, almost forgetting that I didn't tell Spike yet. She nodded as I told her to say forget what I told them about the spell for tonight, I had something better.

"Whoa whoa...so...your a prince now?!"

"Hush will ya!" I hissed at Spike as we were on our way toward Rarity for her help. "I don't want Everypony to know just yet!" I watched as he waved his claws back and froth in a way of saying sorry as I only rolled my eyes. "I mean really...like I told the others, I don't the first thing of being a prince! I'm surprised that Celestia and Luna or even Moon if she knows hadn't sent a few guards to follow me around."

"I'm sure the reason why they didn't is because they believe that you can hold your own when the need comes." My dragon friend suggested as I only shrugged my shoulders.

"Or maybe since I told them not to tell anyone, they won't send me guards until they do release it to the public." Spike nodded at this, finding that bit of information I guess acceptable.

"So what is this idea that you had?" he asked as I smiled.

"You ever heard of cos-play?" I asked him as he softly shook his head. "Okay let's say this. Rainbow Dash is a huge fan of that Daring Do right?" Spike nodded his head slightly. "Well I'm guessing for Nightmare Night she will no doubt be her, that is cos-playing, being something that you would read or see on TV and video games and such like that."

"TV... and what?" he asked, not knowing what those things were.

"Never mind, anyway, you'll see...ah here we are!" finding our way to Rarity's place, I knocked on the door softly three times. After a moment the sound of clopping was heard as the Unicorn opened the door and gasped.

"Brandon!" she cried out and smiled. "So nice to see you again and...Spike is that you?" Spike smiled and brought his claws to his hips and nodded his head as Rarity looked him over. "My, you look more of a dragon now then you did before darling!" I saw the tiniest of a blush on his face as I softly chuckled. "SO does he know?"

"Yup," I answered. "Told him on the way down here."

"That is good, so should I call you my Prince, from now on?" I frowned as she just chuckled and led us inside.

"Well I will be more then happy to make you two customs for tonight!" Rarity answered as she brought her glasses to her face. "Brandon, I know you can draw pretty well, and I know you said you had an idea, so how about you start working over Spike's design while I go get some things." I nodded to my friend as I looked over to Spike, doing a quick doodle of him for the outline and started to draw the clothing. I grinned, it came out just as I saw it, no doubt he would like it and try to woo Rarity over. When she came back, I had to drawing down and showed it to her, but not Spike, making him grumble as he sat on the couch before dozing off. "My goodness! This is...unlike anything I ever seen before!"

"Well it is based off a Video Game character from my home world, so I'm not surprised that you haven't seen it."

"And these parts?" she asked pointing at the part she was talking about.

"If you have metal around here I can make it, trust me I have before."

"You're just in luck, another costumer wanted this metal for his suit that can easily bend, and when heated stays the way it is. It's upstairs I'll get it and then you can work on it!"

"Got enough for three of these?" I asked. "One goes with mine as well."

"But of course one moment!" as she left again, I went over to spike, taking the measurement I needed as I jotted them down. When she came back, she worked on the clothes, as I did for my own add on. I will not tell you what I made until I write how Spike would react and how I would show what he looked like, I know, I'm a prick.

After a few hours of working, I got mine down as well as Rarity as we went over to wake up Spike. He grumbled and woke up as I smiled at him, telling him that his was ready. As he went to try the suit on, I showed him how to put on what I made and what they could do, he grinned wide at this as he thanked me. As me and Rarity waited I started to draw what mine would look like.

"Alright, I'm ready!" we both looked over as the dragon slowly came out as I smirked. I just KNEW he would pull it off.

Standing before us was Spike; the clothing was a mixture of a grey like white and red. The cloak opened around his chest area, allowing another set of white clothing to be seen that went up to his neck. The flaps of the open part, showed a blood red color. The hood that he wore covered his eyes as he looked down slightly; the tip pointed giving him a more mysteries look. On the left side of his shoulder, a long white cape flowed down a bit to his waist, the inside being the same blood red as the flaps. His legs, the flaps opened and moved making it easier for him to walk. Though I did not have enough metal to make the armour of metal, I made the cape part of the metal leather as well as the waist part, but I had a little metal left to make the designed that went with it.

"My goodness Spike, you look very handsome and dashing in that suit!" The dragon smiled as he brought the hood off, the hood having some holes for his green fins to go though.

"Yeah but look at this!" he brought up the two metal gauntlets that I made for him just a moment ago, flicking his wrist, a blade came out of each, as Rarity jumped back in shocked. "Brandonthis is so cool though! Who did you said was the name of the character that wore this?"

"His name was Ezio," I spoke up while chuckling. "In the game Assassin Creed Brotherhood, he was the leader of a band of Assassins he made inRometo stop the man who wanted to take it over."

"Leader of the Assassins wicked sweet!"

"Just don't go around trying to stab anyone please?" I told him while crossing my arms. "I trust that you will use those blades in your hands for just show."

"You can count on me!" he cried giving me a small salute as I groaned slightly but laughed. Rarity walked over to Spike and started to walk around him, eyeing the clothing she made to see if everything was good.

"Well, for the first time doing this, I did a most dashing job, nowBrandon, for your one!" I smiled and nodded as I gave her the picture as she too started to work on mine as Spike played with the blades.

I left a little after that to get my own sword at my place, already seeing many of the children in their customs getting ready to get some candy. I had yet to seen what my friends would be, and Twilight was nowhere to be seen as well. I overheard Fluttershy saying she would not go, saying she was too freighted about ponies scaring her. I tried to coax her to come, but she denied my offer; oh well, I'll be to try again next year. Walking back with the sword in hand, I came to see Rarity working on the chest part of my suit. I went to the sofa to work on the last part of the metal that I had, I bet you all can easily guess who I'm going out as now huh?

"It is done!" she cried as she brought the long cloth out for all to see as I smiled and took it, the gauntlet now done as I went behind a curtain to change. After a bit of struggle I was done, and came out as Spike brought a nail to his chin as if thinking as Rarity only smiled.

Mine was much like Spike's in a way, but much older looking. The same like hood covering my hair and face. Though I did not have a cape or the metal on my waist I held a red cloth that went down between my legs my sword strapped to my side as the gauntlet on my left hand. On my back was a sheath for a long dagger that I could have, but forget to buy one.

"And who are you dressed up as?" Rarity asked. "A younger Ezio?" I shook my head and smiled.

"This is the suit of Altair, not the founder of the Assassin Brotherhood, but an old master that is Ezio ancestor and brought back the way of the Assassins."

"Whoa," Spike claimed coming up closer. "Mine looks better," he grinned as I rolled my eyes. "So Rarity, are you coming out too?" she nodded as well as she then looked upstairs.

"I'll be out in a bit, you two go on, the sun is setting so no doubt many ponies will be out and about, go on, I shall see you two later!"

"Come on, we gotta find Twilight!" I followed after the waist high dragon as we made our way back into Ponyville, many ponies even stopped us to ask us what we were, since I didn't feel like telling them the whole back story, I simple told them we were Assassins. I even told them to rest in peace the way Ezio would say in the game. Looking around, I saw Twilight, I was surprised that she was not in her own costume at the moment, so when I came up, I started to notice something, her hair seem longer, even her tail.

"Twilight?" I asked tapping her back, who I thought was Twilight turned around and jumped up high and cried.

"Hiya Brandon!" I jumped back, I knew that voice well.

"Pinkie Pie?!" I cried as the usually pink pony giggled while jumping up and down.

"Wow, I even got you, well then, Hiya I'm Twilight Sparkle! Student to Princess Celestia and Brandon Casey's girlfriend!"

"How the...what the?" I could only gawk as she looked almost like her, hell even her Cutie Mark was covered and matched my girlfriend's!

"Pretty cool huh? I've been everything these last few years, but not one of my friends, soooo...tah dah!" I sighed and softly chuckled as she then took into my own costume. "ButBrandon, that costume is so cool, you like some kind of old healer? Huh huh huh tell me what you are!"

"I'm Altair, Assassin."

"Assassin! Ohhh you gonna go stab someone if somepony pays you?!" still jumping up and down I only shook my head. "Oh is Spike one of your followers?"

"I guess I'm Ezio, leader of the Assassin Brother Hood inRome."

"Rome? Where's that?" she asked as I only chuckled.

"Pinkie, have you seen Twilight?"

"I'm right here!" she grinned while stopping her bouncing."

"I mean it Pinkie, where is the real Twilight?" she only giggled and shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know, but I just saw this pony a while ago that looked almost human!" I was surprised by this, but looked to where she was pointing.

"Alright, I'll go see, have fun you two."

"Okie dokie lokie! Come on Spike, lets see who else will think I'm Twilight!" shaking my head I left off to find Twilight, not even five minuets later, I found what Pinkie was talking about.

Whoever this Pony was, it did have a body of a human, though the foot still held the hooves, the hoof where the hands were be were human hands! Nails were black as night. A long purple like tail seen flowing behind the pair of blue jeans it wore, wide hips showing that this pony was female. The hair also seeming familiar to me as well as the coat as I made my way over and tapped the female's shoulder. When she turned around, I did a double take back as she smiled. Her purple horn easily seen as well as the eyes.

"HeyBrandon...what do you think?"

It was Twilight! Wearing my blue jeans and white shirt, I looked down at her chest to see...breast pushing out. She still held a muzzle and her purple coat, but she looked so...human like now. If any one is reading this, then let me tell you this...every...furry...lovers...dream...come...true!

"T...Twilight?" I had to shatter a bit as she only giggled slightly but nodded.

"Yeah it's me; I wanted to try something different. Believe me I tried the new spell I've been working on for a while to make me full human for the night, though I guess I still need to work on it since I still look pony in a way." She looked down to herself and then held the breast under the shirt. "And what the heck are these for anyway? I've seen the females in the old history books have them, but I have no idea what they are for!"

"Well uh..." I tried to look at her eyes and not the breast she was messing around with. "You see, when the human mother has children, the breast is filled with milk...so the child can breast feed."

"Really? I'll have to write that down later on!"

"Uh...yeah you do that...wait you've been trying this spell for a while now? How long?" She smiled slightly and brushed her hair back with her new hands.

"The day after we became an item, I kinda wanted to know what it like to be human." I could only blink as she told me this, seeing her like this, was very different. She was still shorter then me, but at least I didn't have to bend down to look at her in the eye. "So what do you think, do I look better as this or my old self."

"Hey I don't care what you look like," I told her as she blinked. "I love you for who you are, not what you look like."

"OhBrandon..." she smiled and moved closer, hugging me slightly as I hugged her back, I was blushing when her breast were pushed up to me. "Oh, did you see what Pinkie Pie was dressed up as!"

"Yeah," I answered with the shake of my head, I pulled my hood off so she could see me better. "I really thought it was you for a moment!" she chuckled as well as we started to walk.

"So what are you dressed up as?"

"Character from my home world," I told her. "An Assassin really; there even is this saying that goes with it...I think I can remember it all."

"Can I hear it?" she asked as I nodded clearing my throat.

"Where other blindly followed the laws of the land, remember; nothing is true. Where other follow the law of the world, remember; everything is permitted. We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are assassins." (Please be known, I do not truly know the saying, I just put what I can remember) at the last part I told her the 'rest in peace' in the language Ezio would say. "That means rest in peace."

"Why would the Assassins say that though to the one they kill?"

"I believe it is because even though the men and women they killed were vile and evil, they still have the right to sleep in peace for the next life on; that's what I think anyway." I then looked toward Twilight as we went walking down the street. "So does anyone else know that this is you?" she nodded her head at me.

"Yeah I told the other girls what I would be, just so there wouldn't be confusion, I guess Pinkie Pie forgot." I nodded my head, and as we went on I heard the sound of wings behind us.

"Hey you two!" we turned around to see...Derpy land before us, why wasn't she wearing something...wait a moment...her eyes...they were a different shade and not...walled eye. And her voice was different too, the hair a bit shorter then I remember. Wait a second...

"Rainbow Dash?" I asked as the mare smiled and nodded.

"Pretty cool huh? When I found out Pinkie Pie was going as Twilight, I thought, why not go as Derpy, I mean, we somewhat look the same!" I laughed at this and nodded, knowing it was true, her own Cutie Mark being covered and showed Derpy's own, the bubbles. "ButBrandonman, yours and Spike's Costumes are wicked sweet! He told me it was from your home world!"

"Yeah," I nodded to her. "The idea came to me when I saw how he changed and I thought that he may like it."

"I'll say; those blades he had were wicked!"

"Blades?" asked Twilight as I looked to her, brining my left hand up and flicking it, the same hidden blade popping out as she blinked. "He better not hurt anypony!"

"He won't I made sure of that." I hen looked to Dash...or Derpy and asked. "So what is everyone else?"

"Well howdy ya'll!" I looked over as well as the other two to see Applejack walk up.

Rolling my eyes, I kinda knew she would dress up as she was right now. Her hat having a star on it, and on her body was a old style sheriff vest, another star on it with 'sheriff Applejack' printed on it. her hair tied in a single pony tail as well as her tail as she trotted up to us.

"Well hello Sheriff Jack," I answered with a small salute. "Catch any outlaws yet?" she let out a short chuckle.

"Not yet, but 'all keep my eyes open for those dirty bandits, don't ye worry!" we all shared a laugh at this as I then felt something clamp on my head.

"Brainsssss, give me brainsssss!" I then heard a small giggle at that as I felt around and pulled whoever had bitten my head. I blinked when I saw it was Apple Bloom, the makeup she wore making it look like I was looking though her at times, seeing the bones of her insides, hair a mess, both eyes black with make up as her whole body was covered in filth.

"Why hello Zombie Bloom, sorry you can't have my brain, I need it!"

"Well I can't eat what you don't have!" I blinked at her remark as the other girls laughed as I smiled evil like.

"Oh really then...well did Sweetie Belle tell you what I did to her when she was bugging me and Rarity?" she blinked and then her eyes grew wide as I brought a finger in my mouth.

"No, no, no!" she cried wiggling in my grip before sticking it in her ear and wiggling it around.

"Wet Willy!" I cried out as she wailed slightly as I brought her to the ground as she groaned and tried to wipe the spit out of her ear.

"Gross thereBrandon!" she cried as I snickered as the other soon followed.

"Ha, he got you too huh?"

Looking over, I saw what seemed to be a small orange pony, I knew at once that it was Scootaloo were white cloth, did she hurt herself.er wings were white cloth, and did she hurt herself? I then saw a hat on her had, looking like something a...what's the word where a man or women digs up old fossils? Anyway, I knew who she was.

"Well if it isn't Daring Do!" Rainbow Dash called out and went over. "Nice some though Scootaloo, don't know why I didn't think of that!"

"Well I wanted to go out as you, but someone beat me to the hoof!"

"Who?" I asked looking around. I got my answer as I saw a Pegasus fly past us looking like Dash while crying out 'muffins'. "I had to ask."

The next group of friends we saw were none other then Rarity and Sweetie Belle, Rarity as I had no doubt guessed, came dressed as a princess. The dress was long and a shape of deep purple, gold trimmings, no doubt the real kind, outline the whole dress, while also making out a design I had no idea what it was truth to be. Her hair was different, a lot more classy look then from what she would always wear it, the hair save for one string that covered her eyes were pushed to the side of her head. Sweetie Belle, dressed up to what looked to be a flower girl outfit, one that would be seen at a wedding. Spike and Pinkie Pie came back a while ago, the whole group talking while the three young girls would go door to door asking for candy, I came up with them at times, almost scaring the ponies when I showed them my hidden blade. The foal's bags were almost filled when someone called out.

"It's Princess Celestia!" looking up at the sky, I could see that indeed it was Princess Celestia coming down, landing with grace as many came over to her to greet her and wish her a happy Nightmare Night. She only nodded to them all as she then made her way toward us. All of my friends bowed slightly at her as she only smiled and brought a hoof up.

"Do not bow before me, we are friends, are we not?" I got a good look at her, something was...off and when she looked to me, I knew right there, why she was off. Her cats like eyes were looking to me as I smiled to her as she winked toward me.

"Hey there Moon," I told her as the other looked to me in shocked. "Going out as Celestia this year?" she softly chuckled as the others also gasped.

"It is Princess Moon! Wow I swear I really thought you were Celestia!" Twilight spoke up while walking over to her.

"I couldn't really think of anything, and it seems I'm not the only one dressing up as other ponies tonight." Looking from Pinkie Pie to Rainbow Dash with a small smile. "It is strange now, in a way, a holiday made to try and say that I wouldn't find ponies if they clothed themselves. Quite silly, even the stories that went with them!"

"Not to be rude," I spoke up. "But...can you blame the ponies of old?"

"No...I guess not."

"Hey no frowny!" Pinkie Pie spoke while jumping in front of her. "Today is the day we all get free candy, so put that frown upside down!" I was amazed by how, the very same pony that made her into a ghost like sate, I mean one of the ponies that did, was trying to cheer her up. I would think it would take years for any of them to truly grow found of her. Her frown slowly turned into a small smile as Pinkie Pie smiled just as wide. "See? So what are you doing here anyway?"

"I thought I would come out and mingle with everyone else...truly see first hand how this night is brought about. Celestia and Luna will also come, for a little contest."

"Oh? What kind?" asked Scoot as she came up to her.

"A costume contest." She then looked to me. "AndBrandon, thank you for agreeing." I nodded my head, I guess now it would seem weird, her brother being her captain guard.

"A contest?" Spike asked. "What's the prize?"

"Anything the winner wishes...within the law I mean." I saw Spike eyes grew wide as he licked his lips, no doubt going to ask for a pile of gemstones no doubt if he won. "Brandon...may I speak to you for a moment?" I looked up at her and nodded, telling the others I would catch up with them soon after, they all left as me and Moon went toward a lone tree and sat under it as she looked toward all the ponies going by.

"It is nice...to walk among the ponies once more." she sated as if talking to herself as I looked up at her from where I was sitting. "I am also glad that they are enjoying this night."

"I told you," I answered her placing a hand on her shoulder. "Ponies can enjoy the night, like this holiday, it will never be on a sunny day, for what would the point be?" she smiled and looked down at me as I smiled back. "So...from what I've been told...I'm now your half brother?"

"Ah...so they indeed did tell you?" I nodded my head also looking ahead at nothing really. "Do you hate me for doing this?"

"Did you know this would happen?" I asked her as she shook her head. "Then I do not hate you, beside...I'll live longer, become a Alicorn on my own one day, and gained three new sisters." She smiled back at me as I smiled weakly, looking away again.

"But something troubles you?"

"It's...Twilight," I told her as I sighed. "If I'll live as long as you three will, since I am a prince...that's means I'll outlive Twilight and..."

"Yes...I see what ales you Brandon." I looked up at her as she looked back down at me. "Do you know what happens when a Alicorn and Earth, Pegasus or Unicorn marry?" I only blinked.

"They become husband and wife...?" I asked as she softly chuckled.

"Well yes, but also, the non Alicorn, he or she will also become one in the coming years!" I was shocked slightly by this.

"How is that...possible? I mean, does the marriage vows have like a magical charmed or something?"

"Truthfully, the way it is done is a mystery to us. All we know is that the non Alicorn when married to one will become one him or herself." So that meant that Shiny Armour would seen become an Alicorn as well. But marriage? I mean sure I did love Twilight; I doubt I would ever find a pony like her at all! And what would happen if we did break up, what if we...no, we would never break up; there was just something about her that made me want her. Bringing two fingers up to my nose, making sure not to flick my hidden blade out, I hummed to myself as I thought. "Well, that is all I have to say, and again, thank you for agreeing to be my captain." I looked up at her and nodded my head as we stood up and made our way toward where my love and friends would be.

We easily found them, they were all talking to...I chuckled to myself. I knew it was Celestia, simply because no other Alicorn I had met was that large, and beside, the eyes were a big giveaway. Seeing Celestia wearing the armour that Moon would wear, it seemed to make her more, fierce in a way, no doubt in her own, no one would dare mess with her. Her white coat, now black as night, as her Cutie Mark were also covered in replaced of Moon's.

"That's reminds me!" Moon looked down toward me. "How the bloody hell can everyone get new Cutie Marks?" she chuckle softly as she answered me.

"Just a prop, you see, say I wanted your Cutie Mark for the night, I would use this sort of paper that copies the mark, and place it over mine own. These making my own disappear for the night, while I hold the new one."

"Like one of those temporally tattoos," I muttered to myself as we made our way over. Once close enough, 'Moon' looked over at us and smiled coming over.

"Hello there sweet brother and sister, and how are we enjoying ourselves?" looking to Moon who was slightly shocked that she called her sister, I shrugged.

"Okay I guess," I answered. "Did the costume contest start yet?" Celestia smiled and nodded. "Who won?" I got my answered when I heard a loud crunch, looking over I saw that Spike had taking a huge bite out of what seemed to be a large red ruby, but when he swallowed, the ruby...returned to normal? "Heh...a ruby that is never truly eaten, nice."

"I think the crowd only picked him because of the blades he had," Celestia told me. "Nice work on them by the way, you should make hoof gauntlet versions for the guards."

"Maybe, but I only know how to do hands and claws, not hoofs."

"A petty, "

"So what is Luna dressed as tonight?" Rarity asked while walking up. "If you went as Princess Moon, and Princess Moon went as you, what would Princess Luna go as?"

"Oh she went as a human."

"Say what?" I was utterly confused as Twilight also looked over to me as Celestia nodded.

"Yes, you see, I knew Twilight was trying to make a spell that would allow her to go full human for a while, but it didn't work as you ca see." We all looked to her as she slightly blushed. "How it worked for Luna, it was because she had a picture to go by."

"A picture?" I asked as she nodded once more.

"Before the humans were...sent away," no doubt wanted to keep a secret on how the humans really left. "She had asked a very well known artist to draw her, if she was human. Now it was very difficult to do, the human had to look at Luna as a whole in a sense as he had said. Take her body and try to remodel it within the pictures. At last, he made it, after taking him a full year, and let me say...it was remarkable!"

"Is that her over there?" the voice of Apple Bloom was heard as we looked down to her and then followed with her hoof to where she was pointing. Sure enough, a human with a bluish like horn was walking toward us.

I was surprised by how human she truly did look! I mean, beside the horn and how her hair glowed slightly, not flowing like when she was an Alicorn. She still held her corn on top of her head, but she wore a long black dressed, almost as if she was still an Alicorn, the symbol of her Cutie Mark seen on her chest, perky breast easily seen. I had to blush; here I was almost looking at my DNA half sister's breast for god sake! Thinking about it for a moment, if she were to somehow cover her horn, I swear I would no doubt have known it was her, okay maybe I would've but since I was told that it would be her...oh screw it you know what I mean.

"Good even Everypony," she spoke in her own voice while smiling. "Are we all having a good time?"

Pretty much the rest of the time we were out was just having some fun, games and other sort of things of the sort. When it was time for us to retire to bed, Rarity came up and asked if I would like to come to the spa with her the following morning, I was surprised when Applejack was going as well. Before I could answer, Twilight answered for us. Saying we would be there, that the two should just come and get us. I shook my head lightly at this as me, Spike and Twilight walked back home. Spike giving me the hidden blades after Twilight told him to. Celestia using her magic to make them bigger so I could wear them and then outfitted them to my hands. Thanking her, we all left to ether keep having fun or go home.

After undressing, I was only in my boxers of grey, Spike just undress and fell asleep in his bed, which was now downstairs in a room I had yet to see before. Maybe Twilight made it for him, not sure. The magic of Twilight's soon faded, returning back to her old self as she yawned slightly. I smiled and picked up my girlfriend and brought her to our bed. Removing the covers and blankets and setting her on my chest like always. Her head under my chin, her eyes slowly closing as she took to sleep. Rubbing her mane, I too felt the sleeping spell of the night taking a hold of me. Slowly closing my eyes, I kept one hand on her lower back, the other behind my head; as sleep took me in.

(As you may have noticed from this chapter and the last, these were very, very long. I tend to make each chapter as long as possible, like this one was over 29 pages long! The last beign only 25 or so, so a new record for me for a chapter story huh? Well I hope you enjoy the next part for one of the five quest star characters coming into the story! Who shall it be? Find out next time on my story of My Little Pony!
