"Remind me again why I'm soaking in a bubble bath Twilight?" I asked my girlfriend, who was on the other side of the tub, up to her shoulders in the same bubbles I was, as I laid somewhat awkwardly in the tub. She grinned at me, her hair flat because of the water when I washed her hair. We were pretty much clean, now all we were doing now; was relaxing.

"Because you promised to spend some time with me any way I wanted to until we went to Applejack's place to spend the night; and I wanted a bubble bath!" it had nearly been two months since me and the other two, Devon and Mike went to the three old human cities to gain the power to stop the Dark Beasts in one go. Each gaining an element made by the humans known as the Element of Wisdom, Courage, and Power, or as Devon would call it the Element of Tri. I and Mike went back to each of the cities the day after, searching in the old temples for any sort of writing that we could bring back. We found many books, and were shocked to find we could read the runes, it was like a language we all forgotten, but was slowly regaining. Taking the books to Canterlot, all three of us spent many hours rewriting the books in the language that the ponies here knew, once we were done with a book, a pony came to take them to copy. My sisters promising us that the history of our race would not be forgotten like last time. When we went back to the city again, we each went to see the spirits that gave us our Element and our gifts and told them our plans to rebuild and reshape the cities. They all agreed and asked us each of what we wanted to do with the place they call home.

As Devon said, he wanted to make the city of Courage into a pony version of Los Vegas pretty much, a place where many could come and gamble and have a good time, a place to shop and other such things. She agreed, much to my surprise at this, her only request was that the temple, much like we said to each other, reminded as it was, and not to be changed other then being fixed.

Mike wanted to make the city that Nova stayed in, a place where many different types of food could be made. Mike and Applejack, as well as some of her family would come to live there, working on the food; the Apple family working on one section for the apples, while the other families would stay behind at their true home. Mike, since being a farm boy growing up could work on growing other food, and any other humans that would come, or other ponies would help him with growing the other foods. Nova seemed pleased with this; he found it very good that the city he used to live in would be used to make many lives happy with food in their bellies. I also noticed something different when Celestia saw him when she came to see if we were alright after we came to the castle to draw out the plans for each of the cities. At first it was the same as always, a friend coming to meet another friend, but when she gave Mike a good look, I saw something in her just stop. Her eyes went wide and when Mike looked away for a moment, I think I saw her tear up inside; what was wrong with her? I couldn't pry the information out of her when I asked.

Myself, I wanted to rebuild the city Wisdom stayed when he was human, as it used to be in its glory days. This would take much longer to rebuild, because we would have to study each of the buildings and try to draw it out on paper on how it would look, but Celestia ad Luna would help out greatly with this, since they use to visit these cities before they sent the humans away. Twilight was with me when I went to go see Wisdom and told him of my plan, and he loved the idea greatly, and thanked me for this, saying that I was honoring those of which I did not know. Twilight then asked if he could bring my mother back, like when he tested me, but he refused, saying that it would be better to allow her to rest in peace. This left her unhappy, really wanting to meet her, but he did tell her that he would give my mother Twilight's words of wish she wished to say to her, since he could enter the void of the dead and the living.

The ponies that were picked by my sisters were working hard on the blue prints, many times coming to me, Devon and Mike to see what we thought of the plans. They wanted to add a castle to the city of Wisdom for me and Twilight, this was when I asked if maybe the castle Celestia and Luna used many hundred of years ago that was in Everfree Forest could somehow be transported to the city. This was able, saying that we would just have to break down different sections and teleport them to the city and just rebuild it there. We would place it behind the Temple, making a door that connected to the temple in the back, this Wisdom approved of. Thinking back to this, I brought my soapy hand out of the water for a moment, lost in my thought until it went toward the force of evil we would have to stop before any of these plans would be put forward.

Darkness, an evil Alicorn and brother to Nightmare Moon, who killed her and allowed me to gain the power of a full Alicorn, powerful yes; but somepony we knew quite well now. Discord, the girls beat him once before, I'm sure they could do it again no worry. True he may be a bit stronger now, but the Element of Harmony would still have its effect on him. And then, there was Sinbad; my father; Master to the Dark Beast and no doubt having the Omega-Alpha within him to control those bastards. I snickered, once the Holy Sun Blade was brought into battle he would lose his army, and then; my sword would be bathed in his blood. Shaking that thought out of my head, I sighed as I cupped the water in my hand before pulling it over my face and head.

"Yeah," I answered Twilight's answer to me about going to Applejack's place. "But who's idea was it to spend Christmas (I'm not sure if in MLP world it's call this, but hey whatever, if you know if it has a other name, please give it to me so I may fix it) at her place this year?"

"It was kinda all our idea," she answered. "Me and the other girls were talking, and well since this is the first year you three would be here for this type of holiday, we thought, why not spend the night partying at Applejack's; since she can hold a lot of ponies at the barn."

"What about Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle?" I asked it was funny; I had met Bloom and Belle's family, but not Scoot's.

"They'll be there as well, but we won't have our REAL fun until they sleep, well you ponies will, I can't because of how cider and a filly carrying a foal isn't a good idea." I chuckled and went over, rubbing at Twilight's belly as she smiled and giggled at my touch.

"I won't drink if you don't want me to," I told her looking up at her while still rubbing her belly as she only shook her head.

"Brandon, you need to unwind," she told me softly. "As you said, even princesses need to let loose once in a while, and you haven't had any sort of fun since Nightmare Night."

"That's not true...there was...well there way...well fuck me sideways...you're right!" She chuckled at this before saying.

"Don't worry; there will be many there that won't drink, so nothing bad will happen alright? And anyway, what did you get me for a gift hrm?" I should've said this sooner, but today was really the eve of the holiday, meaning tomorrow we would be opening up gifts and such. I already had her gift hidden thanks to Mike's help, I knew if I told AJ about it she would no doubt tell Twilight. Mike had it hidden somewhere even I didn't know where it was.

"Now, now Twilight, you know the rules, no opening until the big day."

"Aw, not even a little hint?"

"Fine, it's new."

"Oh like that's a good hint,"

"You asked for a hint, I gave you it," I only grinned at her as she huffed and crossed her forelegs over her chest giving a pout look. "Okay, okay, one more hint, its thick."

"Hrm...thick and new...I'm glad Devon didn't hear that."

"Oh yeah," I nodded. "He would've had maybe three jokes on that line." We both gave a soft laugh at this as I sighed and leaned back in the tub, Twilight coming over and lying with her back on my chest, my legs slightly spread so she would have more room to sit between me as I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me. My eyes closed as I brought my chin down to her hair.

After a while I found myself out of the tub drying with Twilight behind me brushing her hair, making it the same as she always did. My hair since long since grown back so I went for some water and spiked up my hair, it was weird, I never did need to use gel to spike my hair, just a little water and it was good to go; I wonder why? Anyway, I also went to the bathroom once more and shaved some of my facile hair off, leaving the hair under my nose and chin and around my mouth. After done and cleaning my mess I made, I went to the closest and pulled out a long but small box, something for Scootaloo. I went to the others fillies and told them I couldn't think of anything to get them, so I gave them some bits that would last them for a while, of coarse I was only going to give it to them went tomorrow came, but this gift; I knew Scoot would love.

Once leaving our home, Spike catching up with us walking beside us after waking up from his little nap, I noticed how everything was blanketed under the thick pillow that was known as snow. We had ponies clearing the roads, fillies and colts playing in the snow, making snow-forts or snowmen, err...I mean snow ponies. While walking down the road, I noticed that I saw Mike walk up with Devon beside him, Devon was wearing a suit no doubt made by Rarity, in fact I noticed that he was dressing more and more classy, this time he wore a black tux with a red tie, though he still wore those headphones, kinda like a trademark for him, like AJ and Mike wearing their hats all the time. I wonder what they were doing out here for anyway, I mean I was going to go pick up Devon since it was on the way toward AJ's and Mike's place, but why did Mike come to get Devon, and walk all the way over here if we were all just going back anyway?

"Hey Devon, Mike, ready for this party thing?"

"Hell yeah," Devon answered with a nod. "This is a Christmas party; those are the best type's man! I'm just glad I was able to whip us up a Christmas tree and get it all nice and pretty before tomorrow huh?" I nodded at this, it seems the ponies here never had a Christmas tree before this holiday, well, that to my knowledge of course, I can't say that every pony did or did not now can I? But ether way, the tree was up, some gifts already under it, shiny with all the stuff placed on it.

"It seems even the princesses are going to be joining us on all as well," Mike spoke as he nodded crossing his arms. "That would be a hoot, seeing them ether being drunk or buzzed."

"I don't think they would go that far," Twilight answered looking up at him. "Of course, I never did see them party outside of the castle." I chuckled, I kinda hopped they would get somewhat drunk so I could make fun of them for the years to come.

"Yeah, they said something about giving me and AJ something that I needed to get and get you guys before coming back."

"Are the kids there?" I asked as we made our way toward the farm as Mike nodded.

"Yeah, they're all there, they want to go to bed early so that Santa Hooves will come and give them their gifts faster." I chuckled at this, ah, to be young again. Once the farm was in view, I could see that indeed some of the royal guards were outside. Once they saw me they stood straighter and gave a salute with their right hooves. Even giving one to Devon, since he agreed to be my captain. Already he made friends with the guards under his command, dear god I hope he doesn't allow it to go to his head. Once moving out of the way, I saw that the inside was all the same, just a few tables to the far side, food and drinks of the sorts there. Looking around hoping not to see Big Mac, I saw that he was out back with...was that the teacher at the school...and were they...cuddling? Huh, guess the strong silent type really do turns the girls on. I looked to Mike and nudged him with my elbow.

"Ready for operation Big Mac Shock?" He grinned and nodded as well.

"I got the veggie burgers out in the kitchen, I'll get to cooking."

"I'll help," he nodded as Devon went over to Rarity who placed three boxes under the tree, the two chatting with other ponies as me and Mike went in and got quite a shock.

Luna and Celestia stood there us, but what shocked us was who was standing in between them, it was Applejack...but as a humanoid pony! She stood maybe a bit smaller then Mike, only by a few inches, her coat looking like skin, maybe it was. When she looked over toward us, my eyes trailed down, her hips were wide, her breast slightly large and perky as I gulped slightly. She wore a red checker vest, a white shirt under it and short shorts cut blue jeans as she placed her now fingers on her waist, her feet still hooves as she smiled her ear flicking.

"Well howdy there boys, like what princess Celestia and Luna gave me that will last until after Christmas?" I only blinked and then looked toward Mike, his eyes were wide slightly, AJ still had her tail and her hair was slightly longer, still with the pony tail, her hat still on as Mike tried to say something, but nothing came out.

"Uh...AJ...?" I asked as she looked to me. "W...where did you get the idea for that clothing, and are you cold?" she laughed and shook her head.

"Nah, I'm toasty warm, and Devon drew it out as Rarity made it, why you like it?" Devon...damn horny bastard, no duh he would've made this!

"Applejack...why are you, well, that?" Mike asked as Applejack smiled and blushed slightly as Celestia spoke up.

"We know that you two will want a foal one day, and AJ thought of this gift for you and her. This way you two don't have to wait until spring to try,"

"So...ya'll saying?"

"Yes, if you mate with her while she is this; you will conceive with her and make her have your foal."

"Damn," I breathed as Applejack smiled and laughed.

"Brandon, are ya blushing over there?"

"W...what, no, I mean err, I..." she just started to laugh at my flustering as she grabbed a plate of food.

"Though it took me a while to get to use of walking on two legs, but I'm just dandy now, now if you excuse me?" she then left out of the room as maybe in the room behind us were slightly shocked about how she was looking, me and Mike leaning outside the door watching her, my eyes, sorry Twilight; was watching her ass.

"Brandon!" I jumped and turned around seeing Twilight slightly glaring at me. "Are you looking at another mare's flanks?"

"W...what, I err, I mean...I...I..." she then smiled and started to laugh at this as I only blinked.

"Hey its alright, I'm just playing with you," I only could laugh at this as I looked over to see Apple Bloom talking to her older sister as she looked both amazed and shocked. I think she said something about wanting to be a humanoid on Nightmare Night next time.

"You had to give her a freaking short shorts didn't you Devon?" Mike asked as he made the veggie burger as Devon leaned on the counter, I was working on the sauce for what we were going to do as Devon smirked.

"You know you love it how it hugs her flanks, and don't lie!"

"Okay...maybe I do..." Devon gave him a look, smirking with one eyebrow raised as Mike sighed. "Fine I love it; you are one evil little genius aren't ya?"

"Evil, yes," I answered out before I was almost done. "Genius? Now don't get him thinking he's something he's not."

"Hey..." he trailed the word as I shrugged softly at this; even Mike chuckled at this as I then looked over at him.

"So you done there?"

"Oh yeah," he answered with a smile as I grinned as well. After a few seconds of putting together what we had made, standing before us, was a sandwich from our home world.

Walking out into the main room of the farmhouse, I saw Big Mac helping Applejack with something, not really sure what.

"Hey Big Mac!" I called out to him as he looked over. "You wanna try something from my old home?"

"Eeyup," he answered as I looked over to Mike and waved him over, he came in with the large sandwich and placed it on the table as Big Mac looked down at it in slight confusion.

"Don't worry, it's a veggie burger, go on try It." it was weird watching him eat it, he sat down on his hunches and...used his hooves as if I would use my hands, taking a bite. Man, you should've seen his faces it lit up like the forth of July.

"This is very good, what's do ya'll call this?" he asked taking another bite.

"Big Mac," he looked at me.

"Yes?" he asked as if I said his name as I chuckled.

"No, that's what it's called, a Big Mac." He blinked, looking down and I swear, I think I saw a look of shock on his face as Pinkie Pie, who I guess just walked in laughed.

"Wow! A Big Mac, eating a Big Mac!"

Pretty much after that it became a little more fun, I mean, we couldn't drink until the kids were off to bed, but it was fun none the less anyway. Sitting on the sofa, Twilight beside me, Devon with Rarity on the floor and Applejack with Mike at her side by the wall near me, one foot on the wall as he crossed his arms as we all just chatted, that was, until a new pony I had seen a lot in Ponyville, but never talked to.

"Uh, excuse me?" we all looked over to see a unicorn with a coat being mint green and her eyes are a yellowish shade of orange. Her mane and tail are pale light grayish cyan with white highlights while her cutie mark depicts a lyre. She looked from me, to Devon and then to Mike, her eyes filled with wonder I could tell. "Hi there, my name is Heartstrings, but everypony just calls me Lyra." Even her Cutie Mark seemed to be a harp, golden one I think, or just yellow...not sure of the colors.

"Well nice to meet you Lyra," I answered with a smile. "My name is..."

"Brandon Casey, yeah I know." I blinked at this, not a lot of ponies knew my last name. "And he's Mike Stormwolf," she pointed to Mike with her hoof. "And you're Devon Jordan." All three of us turned to each other, was this mare spying on us or something?" "Oh, I'm sorry, it's just, I find humans so cool. Ever since I was a little filly I've always wanted to meet a human, and well, here are three now, well, as you would call Devon here a Humancorn right?" wow...this girl was like a furry back home, so I guess here she would be called...a fleshy? Huh...weird.

"Uh, yeah how did you know all that?" I asked as she looked around, finding a spot and asking if she could sit; we had no problem with that as she sat down.

"Well, you were easy enough to find out Brandon, I mean...I can call you that and not prince right?"

"Yeah, in fact I would like it more if you used my name and not my title." She smiled and nodded. "But how was it easier for me to learn about?"

"Well as you know some books have been updated, you remember a few mouths back when some ponies came to interview you?" thinking back on it, I guess that was true, I think they even had Mike and Devon as well. When I nodded she went on. "Well they placed you three in the Equestria history book, since you three are like heroes now."

"What do you mean?" asked Mike as he sat on the floor with AJ sitting beside him now.

"Well...you three have been fighting off the Dark Beast for a while now; Brandon here is now a prince so of course he would be put on record. And now since you three gained the Elements from the humans of The Old, which gave the ponies a little more to add. " as she went on about how she got our names and a little more information that she got from the books, she wanted to know a little more about how our world was, even the others girls seemed to want to hear this too. "So what do your world have that we don't?" she asked leaning forward. "I want to know everything!" I chuckled and rubbed the back of my neck as Mike seemed to find this amusing as well as Devon.

"Well guys, what do you say; you wanna talk about it?"

"Sure why not?" Devon asked shrugging his shoulders as Mike nodded.

"I'm all fer it, you wanna start it off?" I nodded at this as I leaned back for a bit to collect my thoughts before starting.

I started to tell the girls, and soon many other ponies came over to listen about life in my old world, even Celestia and Luna came over to listen. I spoke about cars, planes, the boats, and other such things. Lyra was listening on every world, her eyes widened at times when she heard about how humans could go into space and about how we went to the moon, or about the machines that we made that look almost humanoid. Devon then spoke about the different things I now know as being unneeded, like cell phones, or TV and such. Mike then giving out information about other things we may have left out. Lyra would ask many questions about what each thing would do and we would explain to the best of our knowledge, hey, even if we knew how to use it, we didn't know how it was made. After a while, I noticed that Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom yawned loudly. Knowing that the three were tried, I, Devon and Mike took each of the fillies off to bed, they complained of course, saying they weren't tried, but before we could even take them to Bloom's room for the beds were already in place for them for the night, they were already asleep in our arms. Mike and Devon kissing the white and yellow fillies on their heads, as I rubbed Scoot's hair softly, closing the door as slowly and without much noise, we made our way back downstairs, not until I placed a small spell that I've been working on, so that no sounds could enter that room, meaning we didn't need to worry about the noise so they could sleep. It would only work until the morning, which was all the time we needed.

By the time we came back downstairs, Applejack and Big Mac were pulling our barrels of their Cider, there was a lot that was for sure, seeing how there were a lot of party goers here. Dash wanted to get the first glass, but AJ pushed her aside and gave the first two glasses to the princesses. I have to admit right now, I really hoped that they got a little buzz as I said; this was something I needed to see! The music started to play thanks to Pinkie because she brought her music box thingy, many ponies dancing with each other, while I took a glass, leaning on the wall and drinking slowly, man, I still loved this stuff! Twilight was busy with something else, I think she was talking to some other mares who were looking at her belly as Twilight laughed and chatted with them, female stuff no doubt about the foal she was having. I watched as Devon, somehow she got his glass, and chugged it back in one go, banging the glass on the table and laughing slightly, old god...a perverted guy drunk...never good. Oh well, we were here for a good time I guess. Mike and Applejack just drinking with each other, the two seemed to be having fun, I saw Applejack lift her breast up with a look of confusion on her face as Mike's eyes grew wide and I could see even from here his face blushing. Oh Mike, I know you're gonna have some fun ether tonight or tomorrow.

"Dude...this stuff rocks don't it?!" I looked over to my right to see Rainbow Dash hovering beside me, well trying to, how many did she drink already? She was weaving side to side as she had a blush on her face before landing on the ground and tipping before leaning on me while laughing.

"How many did you have?" I asked helping her on her hooves as she looked up at me and shrugged.

"I don't know...five...six?"

"Dude...it's only been like five minutes, how the fuck does one down five drinks? The glasses are like a liter!" she only grinned at me as she then gave a hiccup.

"Simple," she said with a slur as she waved side to side. "You just fill yer glass, lift it up, and chug like no tomorrow!"

"Oh dear god..." I shook my head slowly before she smiled up at me.

"Hey Brandon?"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna see my flank?"

"W...what?!" I stammered as she gave me a lustful grin.

"Oh come on now," she spoke while grinning more. "I mean, Twilight's had that kid in her for a while, I know you didn't plug any of her holes at all, man you must be really backed up!" Really Rainbow? I sighed and rubbed my eyes with my right hand as she giggled.

"Dash, my love life is not for you to pray into, but you are right, I and Twilight haven't done anything since she's carrying my child, I don't want to harm the foal you know?"

"Oh you worry too much!" she slapped my leg lightly as she giggled. "Hey I know! How about you, I, in that closet and I give you a good old fashion ride hrm?"

"D...Dash?!" she then laughed loudly at my reaction before falling onto her side. Man...she was really drunk. "No, look it was bad enough that I cheated with Twilight with that damn Changeling, though she did save my life I guess in the end..." I shook my head. "Regardless, I will never do that to Twilight again!"

"But what if she says its okay hrm?" she asked hovering before me again as I went to say something but she stopped me with a hoof over my mouth. "I know that a lot of girls get turn on by watching their males do it with somepony else."

"I...don't think Twilight is like that..." I answered as Rainbow smiled almost wicked like.

"Wanna see?"

"N...no!"

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you haven't thought about any of us girls like that at one time or another right? Everyone has their kinks, I mean, remember with the hot tub thing?"

"Not listening!" I started to walk away as Rainbow Dash only laughed.

"Time for another drink!" oh god, I looked over and saw Twilight; I could see that her face was flustered as she giggled. Wait...did she heard what me and the drunk flying pony were just talking about?!

I think though after a while, I too started to get a little buzzed, I saw Luna look at me with a concern look and wanted to know if I wanted that Spell like last time, I shook it off saying this time I wanted the full feeling. After a while Pinkie Pie came over to me and pulled both me and Luna over to a small circle. We sat down next to each other, Twilight next to me as she seemed to blush at something I didn't know what was going to happen. Across from me sat Celestia, beside her Mike and Applejack, Big Mac, then Devon, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, who was weaving side to side a bit, and Pinkie Pie.

"Okay, what's going on?" I asked as I watched the other ponies grin and laugh, some no doubt drunk as well.

"Well!" the pink pony spoke up as she giggled. "Devon told me of this game that you guys did back home, we do it here as well and we thought it would be fun to do it here and now!"

"And what game is that?" I asked as I shrugged. "Truth or Dare?"

"Nope!" she then ran off and came back, placing something in the middle of the...oh shit... it was a bottle, a bottle with a heart right on the top as I looked up and around. "Spin the Bottle!"

"Oh hell no!" I cried waving my hands up. "Come on your joking right? I mean...what if I spin it and it lands a dude...fuck no!"

"Oh come on, it'll be fun!" she cried as she giggled. "And if you don't want to kiss that pony or human you don't have to, I swear alright?" I looked over at Twilight for a moment, she smiled and leaned closer.

"Come on, I think it might be fun to try this...truthfully I always wanted to try this game."

"You...sure?" I asked as she nodded. I looked up at the others as everypony around me started to lightly stomp their hooves on the floor saying my name over and over again. After a while when it was getting louder and louder I gave up. "Fine, fine, sigh me up." a cheer went all around as a chart came over with all of our names on it.

"Alright then, I call this version, The Lucky Lips, whoever gets the most kisses before the end of this game, for as long as we want to play, wins!"

"Oh dear god..." I sighed shaking my head lightly at this as Devon chuckled. "Shut it Devon..."

"Hey Brandon...what if you land on Celestia and Luna, some hot incest happening over here!" I gave him a stern glare as he only grinned as I flipped him the middle finger.

"So who's going first?" I asked as Pinkie then span the bottle.

"Whoever it lands on spins first!" I sighed as I watched the glass bottle spin before it landed on me, great...sighing I took the top and span, my eyes watching the top of the bottle as it span in a clock wise spin before slowly stopping in front of...Applejack?! I slowly looked up at my farm friend as Mike laughed as well as her.

"Well pucker up there B, unless you're too scared to kiss another filly?"

"Am not...it's just..."

"I don't mind ya'll," she told me as she smiled. "It's just in the fun of the game right Mike?"

"Yeah," he answered with a nod. "Come on, not like your gonna try and steal her right?" I chuckled softly at this and nodded. Sighing I leaned forward as well as she as our lips pressed for little more then five seconds. A loud cheer was heard as we pulled away, I was blushing as well as she as she then took the bottle and then span it, as Pinkie put a lip shape sticker under her name. We all watched the bottle, and it slowly stopped on Twilight. I tell you, her face blushed even brighter then mine did as I looked over at her as she looked back as Applejack blushed as well.

"Ya'll game for this Twilight?" she asked. Wait she was going to kiss her if Twilight wanted to? Twilight looked to think about it, before softly nodded as they leaned forward and kissed! Man...two girls kissing...so hot.

I don't know how long we did indeed play; all I know is that I had to kiss Celestia, Luna, and Rarity even Pinkie Pie. I had Rainbow Dash twice in a row, and each time she stuck her tongue in my mouth as I would glare at her as she laughed. Mike kissed every girl at least once, Devon three times. Twilight for some reason was getting only me, not that I minded, I kinda forgot what the others were. After the game was down, Devon won he had the biggest grin on his face saying he won because the universe knew he was sexy; I just slapped the back of his head for that. Many of the ponies that came for the party started to leave, ether too drunk to walk straight or just falling over, trust me it was a sight to see. Rainbow Dash was sleeping on the floor, a half empty bottle by her hoof as she snored slightly, I sighed and then placed my hand over her head, a light white light covering her body, it cleared her body of the cider so that she wouldn't be having a major headache tomorrow, but still enough to make her feel bad. Luna, wow, her cheeks were a little rosy from the drinks she had, not as much as Dah, but enough to make her a bit tippy. She ever had an arm around my shoulder one time, saying how much she loved me as a brother. Devon though...oh man that was too funny.

"Hey Devon are you...and you're drunk." He looked to me and took a deep breath with wide eyes as he went over and hugged me.

"Dude Brandon!" he cried as he laughed slightly. "Dude, dude, listen, listen, listen!"

"What man?" I asked pulling him off me, still eh said 'listen' over and over again as I started to get piss off. "What?!"

"Listen!" he gave a deep almost scary voice before laughing and hugged me again. "I love ya man!"

"Are you okay man...I think you had a little too much."

"Yeah right!" he cried looking at me. "I've never threw up from pukeing!" his eyes were glossed over as I sighed, shaking my head.

"You mean drinking?" I asked as he grew a wider smile while walking away pumping his fists in the air while chanting 'drinking' over and over again. "Oh god...where's Rarity when you...oh wait I have a idea!" man I must've been buzzed if I was talking to myself, going up behind Devon, I pinched his neck as he fell backwards, sleeping in my arms as I took him over to the sofa and laid him down. I was about to go to Applejack to tell her to put away the rest of the cider, when I noticed Celestia and Mike talking in the other room. This perking my interest I went over by the room and peaked in enough that they wouldn't see me as they spoke.

"What is it you like to talk to me about princess Celestia?" Mike asked as Celestia blinked once for a moment, I knew she was buzzed as well, the way she swayed a bit, was very clear as she went to sit down and patted the chair next to her as Mike sat down.

"Mike...dearest Mike...I have something I must tell you...for you have ever right to know."

"Okay?" he asked as Celestia sighed and looked down, placing her glass, which was floating on the table as she laid her head on her arms and closed her eyes.

"The one that you got the Element of Power from," she spoke. "His name was Nova...was it not?"

"Yes," Mike answered as Celestia sighed softly.

"Do you know why the humans attacked us in the first place?" she asked as Mike nodded his head.

"Sure...the human who was the leader said that the world was theirs."

"That...is only partly true." This shocked me; there was more to the story? "A thousand years ago, before the peace of our race was broken, I fell in love with a human, his name; was Nova." Celestia...and Nova...wow...I could see the shock on Mike's face as well as the white pink like Alicorn went on. "He loved me too you know...we spent many days together, we were going to be bounded much like Brandon and Twilight will be soon, but...another human also loved me."

"The same human who led them to fight you?" the cowboy asked as she nodded.

"Did Brandon ever tell you what Darkness said to him, about fighting for Twilight?" Mike shook his head, this was something I didn't want to remember, but I guess she would say it anyway. "Darkness told him that if two males wanted the same female, they would fight for her right hoof. Nova did not wish to fight, for he believe that I was not something to be won over by battle, but this was like a law back then, and when I told him this, he knew the only way for us to be together, was to fight this human.

"In the end, Nova did win, but the human; he wanted a rematch, and another, and another. At last I stepped in, saying I did not love him, that I loved Nova and I would never allow him to have me. This causing him to almost kill Nova, but Nova once more stopped him. I banished the human from Canterlot, but he swore he would return..." I think Mike knew where this was going as Celestia covered her face with her hooves and slightly cried as he leaned over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You blame yourself for what happed next...don't ya?" he asked as Celestia nodded her head softly.

"When it was time for me and Luna to send the humans to their own world, I did not wish for him to go, I wanted him to stay, and the only way for that to happen, was for he to become a Guardian of the Element which you now hold. What I did not know...was what it would turn him into as the years passed. I would always visit him, to talk to him, to be with him, at last he told me not to come back, that I needed to move on with my life...without him." She then turned to look at him. "When I saw you the first day after coming back to start plans on remaking the cities, I noticed how your eyes seemed...different. They were filled with power, love, something I seen in Nova all those years ago. I'll admit, it made me happy in a way, to know that there was somepony like you now...but..." she went silence for a moment. "I am happy for your lover Mike, please; do not let her go..." As I listened to my older half sister speak about her past, about why the human truly did go on his rampage and try to kill everypony in this world, I felt as though it was me talking. Remembering when I blamed myself for the death of my mother, for I couldn't be there to keep her safe. But I knew this was different, this was a whole race she felt she failed. But I knew, in a way, this was the same. Placing my back on the wall as I crossed my arms and brought my chin to my chest, I sighed softly so that they could not hear me. Maybe my mother was right, I shouldn't be beating myself up for what happened to her, she was trying to keep me safe and she did in the only way she could. And Nova, I wonder how he felt now after hearing this part of the story, he must've still loved Celestia he knew that he couldn't be there for her the way she wanted; and wanted her to move on with her life.

"Celestia," I heard James speak up, maybe he was hugging her, I'm not sure. "He did what he thought was right, he knew you needed to move on, even if it was without him. And do not worry princess; I will never leave Applejack, never." I left after that, going toward the sofa where I found Twilight knocked out on her side, sleeping, I smiled at this as I climbed up behind the sofa and lay behind her, spooning her in a way as I wrapped my arms around her lightly. I felt her shift in her sleep and cuddled up to my chest, but she did not wake as I closed my eyes to sleep. It took me a while to sleep, so before I did sleep, I heard the sound of Celestia and Luna speaking to Mike and Applejack.

"I am deeply sorry for asking this of you two," Celestia spoke, sounding a little better. "But do you two mind if we spend the night here?"

"That's not a problem at all princess!" Applejack answered with a chuckle. "Let me just get ya two a room, if you two don't mind sharing that is?"

"No we do not mind," after that, the living room me and Twilight were in went quiet, and soon, I too fell asleep.

I don't know what time it was when I woke up, or was woken up I mean, but I felt a hard hoof on my face followed by some happy laughter.

"Come on Brandon, wake up! it's time to open our gifts!" I slowly opened my eyes, ugh...head...hurting...pain...hangover... Scootaloo was on my chest, Twilight still on my side as she slowly moved and yawned softly as well, my eyes were half closed as I watched the tomcoat filly jump off me and onto the floor, Belle and Bloom also there as they grinned from ear to ear...I think I saw a halo over their heads.

"Ugh...what time is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes as I looked around, Devon was already up, rubbing his neck and his head as Rarity also woke up, looking around I heard the sound of throwing up in a nearby bathroom, with Dah coming out before coughing as I smirked at her.

"Not...a word..." she warned me and went into the kitchen to get some water, a little late for that Dash.

"Ow..." why does my neck feel funny?" he asked rubbing the spot where I pinched him to put him to sleep as I only snickered under my breath. Looking around, I noticed that Mike, AJ, Celestia, and Luna were no where to be seen, wondering where they were I asked as Apple Bloom answered.

"I think they're still sleeping, want me to get them?"

"Nah I will," I answered. "You guys get your gifts, but don't open them until everypony is here got it?" they moaned, not liking that idea, but nodded all the same as I went upstairs toward Mike's and AJ room first, knocking lightly I then went in, and stopped at what iw as seeing. Mike and AJ were indeed in the room, Applejack maybe a little too tried to remove her clothing, for she was on top of Mike, her hat off leaving her hair a mess without it being in a ponytail. They were not covered in any blankets, because even though it was cold outside, the home was very toasty inside, so he was wearing only his boxers on; one hand on her back, just above we waist line. But that was not what shocked me, what shocked me was who else was in the bed with them.

Celestia was lying just behind his head in a way, her head next to his side as Mike was using her side as a pillow, I never seen her slept before, so I was surprised to see that even while asleep, her mane and tail still flowed as if a wind was pushing on it. She had a small smile on her face as she moved a bit in her sleep, but did not move other then that. Luna was on the left side of Mike's body, her head and neck under his left arm as he had a hand on her upper back, her head resting a bit on his chest as she slept softly. I don't know why, but I found the sight somewhat funny in a way, so leaning on the open doorframe, I knocked softly on the wall three times, waiting for Mike to wake. I didn't have to wait long, for I heard him groan softly before blinking, knowing that AJ was on him, I saw him slowly move so not to wake her, looking at me with a half glaze look, I pointed behind and to the side of him. He gave me a confused look and looked at where I was pointing, the look on his face; priceless.

"Seems someone was busy last night huh?" I asked with a grin, oh god , I was becoming like Devon, he was like brain cancer...mind cancer maybe.

"B...Brandon, this isn't...this isn't what it looks like ya'll, I didn't...they must've just... just..." I brought a hand up to stop him while softly chuckling.

"No worries man," I whispered knowing the other three were still sleeping. "I know you wouldn't do anything, plus they were slightly buzzed last night, so they might have just came in here without you knowing, am I right?" he only nodded, looking around while blushing hard all the while, after a while the other three started to wake up as well. Luna was the first to fully awaken, looking around in confusion and then seeing Mike, she jerked away for a moment in shock as I only snickered, Celestia being next as she looked down at Mike, her reaction was pretty much the same.

"Oh...my...how did we...?" she asked as I only chuckled and then brust into laughter as I closed the door and left.

"Oh my, one hundred bits; thanks Brandon!"

"Yah, thanks you very much Brandon!" I smiled as Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom opened the box I had given them each, what they didn't know, or maybe didn't count it all yet, was there really was close to one fifty, I'm sure they'll count it all later on. Since some placed where I went to shop gave me no choice but to take free stuff, I had a lot of left over bits...a lot. Scootaloo was looking at her long tall box that I had gotten her, waiting nearly looking like she was going to jump out of her coat. I only chuckled before she then went over and grabbed it, I couldn't lie though, and you always want to get the big gifts first. Applejack and Mike had given Apple Bloom her very own hat, much like Applejack's was, only smaller so it would fit her head. Rarity and Devon gave Belle a bracelet with diamonds all around it; I saw Devon make it with his magic himself just the other day.

"Hey? Where are the wheels to this scooter?" I looked over to see Scoot holding up a long board, it was blue much like Rainbow Dash, in fact on the bottom was her Cutie Mark, something I made just last week in fact. I chuckled and stood up and knelt beside her.

"It's not a scooter, but a snowboard," I told her as she looked up to me. "I know you can't ride your scooter in the snow, so until the snow clears up, you can use this, also here." I went in the box and pulled out a handle that could come off and on. "In case you can't stay on your hind legs without help."

"Wow, thanks Brandon!" she then hugged my waist as much as she could as I chuckled rubbing her mane. "So who's next?" she asked looking around as Rarity brought out three bags with her magic, me, Devon, and Mike getting a bag.

"These are for you three," she answered with a smile. "Go on, look inside." We did as she was told when I pulled what was inside of it; i pulled out a short sleeve shirt. It was pale, much like my coat when I was a Alicorn, in the front of the shirt was a large print of my Cutie Mark, the sleeves of my shirt black like my hair with the Cutie Mark s on each sleeve. Devon and Mike got there same thing, only Mike's was a deep orange like Applejack with his Cutie Mark on the shirt and sleeves, and Devon was brown with zebra black stripes on it, with his Cutie Mark on the shirt and Sleeves. "Well, are they to your liking boys?" she asked as Devon looked up and then took off his shirt and placed the new one on, I swear, the shirt matched his shin color like it was made from his skin.

"Love it," he answered with a smile as me and Mike did the same thing nodding our agreement.

Mike and Applejack said something about wanting to give their gifts later on when everypony left, we understood that, I couldn't only guess why they wanted to, but I said no such thing outloud. I was about to grab the gift under the tree for Twilight, when I noticed something outside the window, looking over I slightly went wide eye as Twilight poked me.

"Brandon...what's wrong?" I said nothing for a while but then stood up.

"Hey Twilight, you mind coming with me, and you guys keep going, we'll be back in a bit; kay?" they all looked toward me and Twilight before nodding as I took Twilight outside, looking around, I heard the sound of a door closing as I then went toward the barn house with Twilight beside me.

"What's wrong Brandon?" she asked ass I said nothing again for a while.

"I think...I don't know, just stay close in case alright?" she looked to me and nodded her head, and when we made our way into the farm house, I saw what I had seen outside the window.
