"So why do you think Mike and Applejack want to see us?" even though two years had passed since marrying the love of my life, Twilight Sparkles. The unicorn that was y wife looked up at me, as she thought of my question. The pony held a pink six-pointed star Cutie mark on her flanks, a meaning I did not truly know, nor did I ask her on it. Her coat was a faded purple while her large eyes were a shade of violet, her mane seemed to always be styled into more of a human woman's hairstyle instead of an ordinary mane, something I always found to be great for her all the time, not to flashy; and not to plan. It was straight and well kempt and shared its coloration with her equally tidy dark blue, pink, and purple tail. Over the past two year, she slowly started to change, growing a little larger, but no wings grew from her back at all, but I knew in a few more years; they would come. I myself had not changed much in the two years, since I did have the form of an Alicorn; I also gained the power to live a much longer life, how long; I'm not truly sure. But if Celestia and Luna had yet to age within a thousand years, then I myself would be living long as well as Twilight and our son Sonic Flash. The Pegasus colt, now two years of age was flying in-between us, his hair growing a bit longer, he took the style of mine, slightly spiked but pushed back. His tail longer then most of his type, a coat of pure white, and eyes as green as mine, save for my left eye was still red.

"I don't know," Twilight answered my question as we made our way toward the farm. "From what Applejack told me...it sounded important."

"Hrm," I answered as I thought to my two friends. About a year after me and Twilight were married, they too married, the wedding just as grand as our own, Rarity and Devon had yet to be wedded; I don't understand why they were waiting. "Anyway, before I forget, where are Rarity, Devon, and their daughter?"

"They all left for Canterlot the other day," Twilight answered with a nod as we went on walking more. "Something about shopping for the very best."

I nodded at her answer as at last we came to the barn house, knocking on the door, it opened to see Apple Bloom. She had grown a lot in the last two years, where she used to be up to my knee, she was now up to my waist. Her body looking a bit more fuller with muscles since she still helps out on the farm, but her real job was to help us with the city, since her skills was for building things. She wore a brown hat, much like the color of Mike's and Applejack hat, in fact it looked much like their hats, but unlike their hat, this one had her Cutie Mark showed on the front, a red ribbon tied around it as the edges hung off the back as she grinned and looked up at me and then to Twilight.

"Well howdy guys!" she greeted us, her voice sounded so much different then the little filly I had known when I first came here. "And hello to ya too Sonic Flash, ya lookin' for Sapphire Bloom?" Sonic nodded his head as Apple Bloom pointed toward the old club house. "She's out there playing around,"

"Thanks Bloom, bye mom and dad!" Sonic then flew up a bit higher and then took off as fast as he could. "So what are ye two doing here?" she then asked as Twilight walked forward.

"Mike and Applejack wanted to see us for something, are they home?" Bloom nodded before letting us in.

"Ya hold on, Uncle Mike, Applejack, Brandon and Twilight are here!" as we waited, I caught my refection in the window a bit. The three scars over my left eyes were still easily seen, my blood red eye looking back to me as well as my right green eye. My skin started to get a bit paler, since winter had just ended, spring now just around the corner.

Soon the duo made their way down the stairs, Mike wearing a smile brown vest, no shirt under it his flaming shield Cutie Mark with the golden heart in the middle that almost looked like a huge necklace easily seen; as he wore slightly worn out blue pants, his hat always on as well as Applejack. His hair was brown and slightly long as always, his muscles easily seen as he was the strongest of the human group in raw power, since he was the Guardian of Power. His hammer slung around his belt, the marking of a flaming shield and a golden heart in the middle seen on both his chest and his hammer, his Cutie Mark. Applejack looked the same as she always did, smiling as she saw us as she waved to us both for a moment. Her coat was orange and her mane and tail were blond. She had a few freckles under her green eyes, something that suited the farm pony just fine. A brown Stetson hat rested atop her head as I said, and as always, I mean really, it was very rare when I saw her WITHOUT the hat on. Her mane and tail were tied at the ends with her mane hanging past her shoulders; her Cutie Mark consisted of three red apples.

"Howdy you two!" AJ spoke up once they were at the bottom of the stair. "Thanks fer coming, but we thought it would be better if ya heard it in pony, and not in a letter."

"Bloom," Mike spoke as his niece looked up at him. "You mind leaving fer a moment while we talk?"

"Sure thing Mike, see yer all later!" we waved her goodbye as it was only the four of us left, taking a sit in the living room, Mike and AJ sitting side by side as well as me and Twilight, Mike sighed and then smiled.

"The reason we called ya here, is something that we thought long and hard on." He started looking at Applejack and then to us. "It's about Sapphire Bloom,"

"Is she okay?" Twilight ask as Mike nodded.

"Yeah, she's fine, it just," Mike sighed once more before Applejack took over.

"Yer see," She stated while looking at us. "We don't know what the future holds fer us, and we want to make sure that she is gunna be alight if something were to happen to us. What we are trying to say here is that...we want ya'll to be her godparents."

Me and Twilight looked at each other at once at this, where was this coming from all of a sudden, I mean...there are times that me and Mike spoke about what would happen if Discord or my father Sinbad were to kill us, what we wanted the other to do; did...did they think they wouldn't stand a chance if Sinbad came back...WHEN he came back?

"Applejack...Mike..." Twilight whispered slightly as Mike spoke up.

"We trust you both, and believe me, we thought of the others as well, but well...Pinkie being...yer knows, Pinkie. Rainbow Dash living up in Cloudale; and she has Scootaloo to take care of now." it was true, a year ago; we found out that Scoot had no family at all, she was living alone. At first I and Twilight were going to have her live with us, but we had Sonic Flash to take care of. Rainbow Dash thought she could take care of her, but Scoot had yet to fly, even to this day. So what I did was add a little magic to her scooter that allowed her to fly while she was on it. That way she can get from her new home with Dash to here anytime she wanted to. "Rarity we thought could take care of her, but then there's Devon..." we all kinda snickered at that. "Fluttershy was our second choice, but I don't think Sapphire could ever truly stay there with her." I looked to Twilight, and I saw it in her eyes that we didn't need to think of our answer. Looking back, I smiled and nodded.

"We would love to," I answered as they both seemed to smile at this.

"Then I guess I better get to the mayor's place and get those papers; Brandon you wanna join me?"

"Sure man," I nodded as I stood up, we bid our wives goodbye as we started our way toward Ponyville.

"Again Brandon, thanks for agreeing to this,"

"Think nothing of it Mike," I told my friend while patting him on the back. "We're both fathers, and we have to think of our kids first right?"

"You mean our foals right?" I rolled my eyes, it was weird now. We were saying the term the ponies of this world used on a daily basic now, I guess because we've been here for so long, it kinda dawned on us now I guess. "So...your sisters, their going to send another human here soon huh?" I nodded my head, it was true, since it had been close to two years since we last saw of any sort of threat, they wanted to bring yet another human here, much like they did with Mike. I was speaking to them just the other week, since I was starting to take the role of prince a little more better now. There were times I had to go in place of Celestia or Luna for something, saying it would be better now that I start learning to be a prince. As we spoke, I was not on with their ideas at first of bringing another human here. Yes it had been only two years, but my gut was telling me something bad was going to happen...really...really bad. But in the end, we came to an understanding that this had to be done, if we waited until the war was over, the ponies would think something was up.

"I still don't truly know if this is the best time to do so," I told him with a sigh. "I mean...Discord and...Sinbad are still out there, plotting...I just know it. My father is not the type to just roll over and give up, he was searching for me for years Mike, years! He doesn't care what happens to the ones around him, he doesn't care what happens to him, all he cares about, is getting his goal!"

"Brandon, Brandon! Easy...take some deep breaths!" I sighed and held my chest as I took some hollow breaths, before shrugging his hand off my shoulder.

"I don't like not knowing where he is Mike," I spoke in an almost whisper. "It makes me uneasy, it makes my skin itch thinking that maybe...he's watching us right now."

We came in front of the mayor office, Mike went in to get the papers while I waited outside, looking around I watched as some ponies looked to me and nodded their heads at me as I nodded back or waved when they waved. The ponies here in Ponyville had long since stopped bowing before me, after the one hundred times of me telling them to stop treating me like one. Though they still gave me free stuff; that was something I was never going to make them change. After a while, Mike came out with a scroll in his hand, passing it to me as well as a feather pen, I read over it, this was the paper that would make me and Twilight his daughter's godparents. Putting my name on the paper I then passed it back to him as he rolled it up and placed it in his back pocket.

Pretty much after that I was left alone, walking though Ponyville for a while, wondering what to do, I had done my morning training, so that was off the list. I didn't work at Sugar Cube Corner any longer since I didn't really need the job; pretty much nothing was going on. The sun was shining, the sky were clear thanks to my rainbow colored friend Rainbow Dash.

"Hiya Brandon!" Looking over I saw the pony that had called my name. Her big eyes were a dark blue while her coat was a bright pink, her tail and mane were more of a magenta hue, and like always; poofy, her Cutie mark being that of three balloons with two blue and one yellow. As always she was hopping, maybe that was her way of walking; I rarely ever saw her just walk like the other ponies. Well...Pinkie was unlike any other pony I had met while living here in Equestria.

"Hey Pinkie," I answered back as she stopped before me. "What are you doing today?"

"Trying to think of what to wear for the party tonight!" party...what party, oh yeah that's right, I nearly forgot that today was Mike's birthday, it seemed that Devon would miss it, but no matter, at least I got a few days out of not hearing him calling me a prison bitch. A few days ago, when Pinkie came over to ask him what to do for his birthday, Mike thought it would be fun to cos-play, like me and Spike did on the first Nightmare Night. When we thought of the theme, the one idea that came, was dressing up as characters from our home world. I'm not sure if Mike and Applejack already had their done, only Rarity knowing what they would wear since she was making their one before she left; luckily they said the costumes were done by the time she left. Me and Twilight already had a pretty good idea on what we would wear, Sonic Flash and Sapphire Bloom, I'm not sure, they asked us many times what kind of characters came from our old home, so I would sit down with them, and draw many pictures of what I could think of at the top of my head. "What are you going to wear Brandon?"

"Oh I have an idea, but I'm not gonna tell ya just yet," I told her wagging my finger at her.

"Oh come on, tell me I won't say a word to anypony!"

"Nope," I answered with a smile. "You'll just have to wait to find out."

"Phooey!" she frowned slightly as I only laughed. "So what are you doing for the rest of the day Brandon?" I sighed and shrugged my shoulders slightly as we started to make our way though Ponyville, her hopping and me just walking.

"I don't know," I answered her once more. "Maybe go home and chill by my self you know?"

"Well I still have a cake to make; I was just going around for a little break!" I then turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow.

"How big is this cake this time?" I asked, when it was my first birthday being here, she made a cake so large that it had to be outside and I had to use a freaking ladder to climb up to blow out the candles, with the help of my friends of course. And then the wedding, not as large as the birthday cake, but still large all the same.

"Oh don't worry; this one is only three layers!"

"And how big are these layers?"

"Small, like your forearm." I thought about it and shrugged.

"Yeah okay, I guess that's good. I still can't believe Mike doesn't want anything for a gift though."

"Yeah, I mean birthdays are about cake and gifts!" I chuckled at her before we came to the café. "Hey Brandon, want to have some lunch?" I thought about it and shrugged.

"Sure, I could go for a sub, what about you?"

"Hrm, maybe some hay fries!"

"Man I guess it's true what they say," I chuckled slightly as we came to sit down at a table, the place had long since placed some stools at each table for me to sit or any other humans that would come.

"Oh what's that?" Pinkie asked as I smiled as we waited for the waiter to come.

"You can deep fry anything."

Still waiting, the sound of wings were soon heard, looking up I watched as a yellow coat was seen before landed beside us.

"Hi there Fluttershy," I greeted her as she smiled.

"Hello Brandon, Pinkie, do you mind if I join as well?" As always, her voice sounded far too gentle to be any sort of mean or evil, for as long as I known her, she never raised her voice at all. Feeling some of my nervousness fade away, I turned my head to look at the owner of the voice. A pair of folded wings at her sides the same color as her coat as she sat on the pile of hay next to me. Her coat was yellow and her mane and tail were pink, the mane was draped mostly to her right with it parting in two large bangs that curled at the ends; her tail was the same, being somewhat longer that most others with her mane even reaching past her knees. The Cutie Mark her flanks were a trio of butterflies with pink wings and turquoise bodies and antennae. Her large cyan eyes gazed at me for a moment before she smiled once more as I smiled back. Soon the waiter came, and asked us for our order for our choice of food as well as drinks. After giving our order, we waited while chatting.

"So what are you going as Fluttershy?" Pinkie asked, as I too kinda wanted to know what she would go as, I had given her many pictures of what somepony like her could possible be. They brought the tip of her hoof to her chin and tapped it, as if it was a finger before shaking her head.

"No, I don't want to tell anypony right now what I'll be."

"Aw..." Pinkie sighed as I laughed slightly as I crossed my hands over each other on the table.

"Pinkie, just wait until tonight alright; then you'll know what everypony will be."

"But I wanna know now!" she trailed the word off as I sighed and shook my head at the way she was acting, I swear, it was like having a little filly in our group with her around; but I guess that is just Pinkie for you.

The food soon came as well as our drinks, as we consumed our intake of foods and drinks, we chatted for a bit.

"So Fluttershy?" I asked looking over as she ate her food, looking like a garden salad maybe. "How was Sonic Flash when he came to help you the other day?"

"Oh it was so cute!" she smiled with a large grin as she held her hooves together for a moment. "All the baby bunnies were all over him, though I don't think he liked it that much, since when he tried to leave, the little ones would follow and pile on him!" I chuckled at this; it was slightly funny watching Sonic Flash try to do many things even at such a young age. Already he didn't want us calling him a baby, and thought to work with Fluttershy around her mini like zoo. The other day was his first day, and he came home with a few bits since all he did was feed a few of the little critters and such. "Will he and Sapphire Bloom be coming to the party as well?"

"Yeah," I answered with a nod. "It's a good thing it's at Mike's and AJ's place, that place can hold a lot of ponies."

"Hey Brandon, I got a question for ya!" I looked over at Pinkie.

"Yeah what is it?"

"Why are you always human and not your Alicorn self?"

"Yes...I kinda also wondered that myself Brandon?"

Even though I could now change into my alter ego at will without losing too much of my strength, I only transform when the need comes, like me taking the dirty of my half sisters...or me and Twilight want to do something different.

"Well you see, I'm not sure, I mean..." I took a moment to really think of my answer before giving it. "Yes it is cool how I can change forms at will whenever I want to, but I was born human. And really, I'm truly not ready to stay Alicorn all the time."

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked as I turned to answer.

"As you both know, I'm prince of Equestria, weird how it happened, but it happened. I know one day I'm going to take the role of being a prince, and when that happens I'll stay as Eclipse a lot more then how I am now; until then, being human is alright with me."

"I think I get it!" Pinkie Pie answered with a grin. "Be true to yourself right?"

"Pretty much yeah,"

"So since I got it right...can you tell me what you're going as, huh, huh, huh?!" she started to slightly hop in place as I sighed and shook my head holding my forehead.

"If I tell you, will you promise not to tell anypony?" she nodded while then making an X over where her heart would be.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" she then placed her hoof on her eye. I chuckled at this, I knew Fluttershy wouldn't tell anyone ether.

"Alright, remember that nickname I said people back home use to call me because of my spiky hair?"

"Yeah huh!" she nodded her head.

"Well, I'm going as the guy they call me, I'm going as Goku from the show Dragon Ball Z."

"Okie Dokie!" she then smiled and then started to eat again as I rolled my eyes.

"Dad, does this look right?" I chuckled as I helped Sonic placed the last of the coat color paint down as he looked to me. His whole body, even his mane and tail were a navy or dark blue, on the his hind legs he wore a pair of red and white shoes, his hair spiked backwards as he looked to me; his chest still had a bit of white in it. When I told him of a super fast hedgehog name Sonic, he wanted to be him because it was just like his name.

"Yes Sonic, everything is all good for you!"

"Wicked!" he grinned and started to hover up to my face and hugged me as I held him in one arm. It was weird, how he could fly and yet Scootaloo couldn't, heck I heard even the Cake's foals could've when Pinkie use to foalsit them. "I like your one though, you look like a fighter!" I turned to look in the mirror a bit, the main color of my suit was orange much like Goku's suit, the boots black with the laces, the under shirt being blue as well. The sigh I had on my back, though I never truly knew what it meant.

"Thanks son, now we just gotta wait for your mother and Spike."

"Here I come!" in the last two years, Spike went though one more growing spell, though he did not want to grow any larger, he asked Celestia and Luna to make him stop growing at his size he was now, which she agreed, but it would cost him his wings. Though he never did use them anyway, it was no problem for him to lose them. He was my size now, his green fins much larger, and his muzzle a bit longer. When he came out of his room he was a sliver suit of armor, but on the left side of the top part of the armor, a blood red dragon came over it. The helm he wore, which I wove to allow his fins to come out, the eyes glowing an almost creepy glow. "Dude this armor is wicked, though it is a little weird to walk around in it."

"I'm sure you'll get use to it as the party goes on right?" he nodded at this as he looked up at the stairs.

"Twilight, you coming?"

"Yeah, hang on...I can't believe I'm using something like this again!" I chuckled softly. After telling her all the different humans from my home world, I was shocked when she was at one time, one of the humans of which I loved the games. She came down wearing a black tight suit, humanoid, thanks to Celestia and Luna who would also be joining us in the party. As she came down, I blinked at how well the...what's the word, I think a gimp suit, well it did look like it; hugged her body. All of her curves could be easily seen, she wore this belt that went around her waist and well...around her...err...you know...inner thighs; the belt and the chest part, which looked almost like a bullet-proof vest with a light brown. The white headband she wore was long even as she tied it around her forehead, the two half a forearm cloth hung down her back, and her hairs spiked up a bit, a black eye patch over her left eye. When she reached the bottom of the steps, she crossed her arms over her chest while frowning at me and Spike. "If anypony think I went crazy again, I'm going after you two."

"But dad said you are like some sort of one pony army guy right?" Sonic asked hovering over to her and then back to me. "Mom looks better then you!"

"Of course she does," I answered with a grin. "She always does." I saw Twilight roll her eye for a moment before she answered.

"Let's just go,"

It was getting pretty dark, so not a lot of ponies saw us, and when they did they always asked us what we were dressing up for. Once we told them, they just left, sometimes asking what we were dressed up as. Coming up to the Apple's place, I knocked on the door; it slowly opened as we made our way inside. Before I could take a step inside, something blue, like a blur ran past me followed by a girlish laughter.

"Sapphire Bloom get back here!" I looked over to see Mike, what he was wearing was none other then a Captain America suit, from the movie. Around his back was even the blue, red, and white shield. Wait a second...did he just say that blur was Sapphire?

"Mike?" I asked as he stopped and looked back at me as he bent forward a bit, his hands on his knees and he panted. "Uh...what's going on?"

"Sapphire..." he panted before looking up at us. "Drank...coffee."

"Oh...how much?"

"The...whole pot." Oh shit, that kid has to be freaking high on the caffeine. I heard her laugh again as I looked down as she ran around my feet and then around the sofa, hopping around and bolting left and right before she then stopped; then falling over. A small sound of snoring was easily heard.

"I think she...burned herself out."

Being true to her name, Sapphire Bloom was as blue as any sort of sapphire you would've seen before, and the reason for her last name being 'Bloom' was that she had the same shade of red as Apple Bloom's hair. what she was dressed up as...you know what, fuck it, I'm not wasting my time telling you all what they look like, you wanna see it, look up the name I give you, or the hints, my brain hurts to much. Anyway, Sapphire was dressed up as none other then She-Ra, you know, the He-Man rip off? Anyway, she was knocked out cold, at least I hoped so, at times her hind leg would jerk before she then opened her eyes and groaned.

"And that's why I told you not ta drink any coffee yet Sapphire." Mike chuckled as he went and picked up his young foal as she just looked around for a moment, her eyes locking onto me for a moment before widening.

"Uncle Brandon!" Uncle? Did she really just call me Uncle? "Oh wow, that a mighty cool costume! Whatcha going as?"

"Uh...Goku, anyway, did you call me 'uncle' just now?" she smiled and nodded her head.

"Yeah-huh, cause I overheard you and daddy talking about how ya'll like brothers from another mother. So that makes ya my Uncle!" we all laughed at this as Mike her down, the young colt and filly greeting each other before running off to play.

The others soon arrived, Pinkie Pie going as...oh dear god, Strawberry Shortcake, why was I not surprised at this? I mean, she even had the large freaking hat on. Next to come was Fluttershy; her coat was that of pure white, even her wings. Her mane and tailed remind the same as she had a golden halo over her head. So an angle huh? Not that it was a bad idea, I mean; she was sort of an angle in a way. Rainbow Dash came in dressed up as, well this shocked me slightly; a vampire. She wore a deep black cape and around her muzzle was two pointed teeth, no doubt the fangs, and around her lips, faked blood. This was a birthday party, not scare you friends shitless Dash...I could only sigh at this as I looked around, I believe that AJ said that Big Mac would be busy and couldn't attend, and speaking of her, she just came down with a...whoa.

She was dressed up as Black Widow, you know, from the Avenger movie, like Twilight's slightly gimp suit, it hugged her body quite tightly too. When she came down as a humanoid pony, thanks to my sisters who had yet to show up, she went past me and Mike. Now I know this may sound perverted in a way, but when she walked past us, me and Mike slowly tilted our body watching her walk by.

"No doubt Devon's work," I spoke up as Mike nodded. "Nice ass though."

"Hey..." Mike glared at me as I chuckled.

"What? I'm giving a complement, not like I'm trying to get in your wife's pants...her flanks."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." We both shared a chuckle as the day went on pretty more smoothly afterward.

Celestia and Luna soon came, Luna dressed up as Minda from Twilight Princess, you know at the end of the game, and Celestia, what else, but as Princess Zelda herself. I was surprised to see that Nova also came, since we had not seen him or the other old Guardians after Celestia Knighted us. He took Mike away, wanting to give his gift alone to Mike, and when he came back a few moments later, I could see it in his eyes that the gift that Nova got him truly touched him. I would have to ask to see it later or tomorrow.

As it became darker, it was time for us to go, saying our goodbyes; we all made our way out, toward our homes for a good night rest. Sonic was sleeping in my arms, poor kid, ate too much sweets with Sapphire, but at least he's asleep now. once we got home, Twilight's body reverted back to her old self as we put our stuff away, saying goodnight to Spike, we placed Sonic in his own bed in his room; before going toward our bed as well.

"That was fun huh?" Twilight asked as she watched me drop down to my boxers as I nodded my head.

"Yeah, it was very fun."

"You okay?" she asked me as I looked back and nodded.

"Yeah I'm fine, just thinking on what Nova got Mike you know?"

"Yeah," she nodded her head as she removed the blankets and allowed me and her to climb in. I was on my side, having myself up by my forearm as she looked to me, in almost the same fashion. "I was slightly worried when I saw Mike's reaction after he came back with Nova, what do you think he got him?" I only shrugged.

"Not sure," I answered her as I lay on my back, she then snuggled under my arm, my hand on her back as I closed my eyes. "I'll have to ask him tomorrow, Devon, Rarity will be back tomorrow with their kid...and tomorrow is also the day Celestia and Luna bring here another human."

"Oh yes, I nearly forgotten about that," Twilight spoke as she looked away for a moment. "Well, I guess there will be another party tomorrow then huh?" I chuckled, knowing she was talking about Pinkie Pie and her parties.

"Yeah," I then softly yawned before closing my eyes a bit more. Twilight didn't say anything, no doubt guessing I was tried. I felt her lay her head on my chest once more; before her soft breathing was heard. Soon after that, I too slowly fell into the magic that was sleep.
