I woke up, alone... Or was I? The voices in my head told me otherwise. They said things, things that made me sink deeper and deeper into depression, more so every passing day from when my father was murdered, by his brother no less. It was traumatizing... Hearing their arguing, bickering and yelling. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but the voices told me it was my fault. Until a scream filled my ears, making them flick in the direction of my bedroom door. The scream became gargled as a smashing thud made the floor shake. I heard my uncle yell out into the usually quiet night. "I gave you everything! You bucking piece of shit!" I was scared, was he... All of a sudden, the sounds stopped, the dull sound of hoof steps heading towards the door to the apartment and it opened and slammed shut. I shakily got out of bed, tiphoofing to the door. I brought my hoof up slowly to the door knob, quietly opening it and I looked out, seeing nopony. I walked down the hallway and I reached the living room, the moon light coming in from the window onto the most horrible scene I have ever seen. I felt tears freely fall from my magenta eyes, there on the floor, sprawled out in a pool of blood was my father. He had a couple stab wounds in his neck and it was slit, from ear to ear. I saw bloody hoof prints go towards the door and I cried, not believing my eyes.

"Ticket please... Are you ok sir?" I snapped back to reality, shaking my head as I looked at the conductor.

"Yes." I said quietly, my horn glowing it's dark blue as I lifted the ticket to him and he used his punch out to punch a hole it it.

"Ponyville is a nice place to go to. Enjoy the ride sir." The conductor tipped his hat to me and I boarded the train, finding a car to myself.

I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Harley J Sellers, I'm from downtown Trottingham... Although I don't like to remember that part of my life. I was ten when I was diagnosed with split personality disorder, and bipolar schizophrenia. I seem to have periods when I black out, and when I awake, I am usually somewhere I do not recognize. I can usually keep both my conditions under control with the use of a spell, but sometimes it creeps up on me and takes over. Anyways, I am a stallion, I'm a bit taller then a average mare, but not the tallest stallion I have seen. My coat is a deep purple, and my ears are black. As I said before, I am a unicorn, my horn is the same purple as my coat. My mane is a bit longer then most, but I tie it up in a ponytail, it's mainly jet black with three dark purple stripes running down it and I braid it. As I said before, my eyes are a nice magenta, and my magic aura is a dark blue. My cutie mark was a yin yang symbol, but it seemed to have cracks in it. I earned it when I was still a foal, so I don't remember how I got it. I was only seventeen, my father was murdered last year, and I had to live the city. My uncle was caught and I testified against him, his glare from across the courtroom was burned into my memory as he was sentenced to life in prison, with no chance of parole.

I sighed, looking out the window as the train left the station, looking back at the city as the train pulled away. I never met my mother, she was forced away from me when I was born. My father told me she was only fifteen when I was born, her parents would not allow her to keep me, but told me her name long ago, but that was lost to time now as I can no longer recall what her name was. I felt sleepy, I haven't sleep a good sleep in a while, so I laid down, hoping that my new life would go a bit better. I heard the breaks squeal, waking me from my small slumber. I groggily raised my head and put my left hoof down onto the floor of the train car. I soon climbed down, stretching myself out and I shook my back a little, my ponytail moving around a bit and I trotted for the door. I opened it and hopped off the train, the bright sunny day and wonderful colours hit me like a sack of bricks. I was a bit speechless as the sight of Ponyville, it was small, at least compared to the city, but I liked it. I felt hungry, and put my right hoof to my stomach as it growled, demanding food. My horn glowed as I opened my left saddled bag, bringing my bag of bits out and looked inside. I had about four hundred bits, so lunch wouldn't be a problem. I returned the bag of bits to the bag and started to trot into the town. As I entered, I slowed to a walk to let me take in the sights of the town. The sky was a bit cloudy, what seemed to be a blue pegasus was relaxing on a cloud, her forehooves and rainbow coloured tail hung off the sides. I turned my attention back to ground level, the brightly coloured pony population caught me a bit off guard. There was some ponies walking, talking, and shopping! I felt no tension in the air, a weird sense I seemed to have. So I relaxed and walked past, getting a couple stares from the mares. I then realized, I have yet to see a stallion.. Do they not accept stallions? I thought for a brief moment when I noticed a light brown stallion earth pony with nice brown hair talking to a grey pegasus mare. I sighed, relaxing again as I soon found myself upon a cafe. I sat down at a small table, my ponytail going over my left shoulder, hanging down a bit. I looked over the menu, waiting a couple seconds before the waiter walked up and I put my menu down.

"I would like an order of hay fries, light crisp, and a daisy and lettuce sandwich, with some tomatoes please." He nodded, mentally taking my order and he walked off, leaving me to myself. I noticed a group of mares walking up. The one up front was an... alicorn? My eyes must of deceived me, so I blinked a couple times but no... she had a horn and wings. She was a light purple mare, her purple mane had a magenta streak down the middle in two different shades. Her eyes were an intelligent looking purple. Her cutie mark seemed to be a magenta star, with a bunch of smaller white stars around it. She also had a small purple and green dragon riding on her back. The next was bouncing up and down. She was a pink earth pony, her mane and tail was another shade of pink but really curly. Her bright blue eyes closed as she bounced, her cutie mark seemed to be a trio of balloons, two yellow and one blue. The other unicorn of the group was a pure white, her beautiful azure eyes looked where she was going, her indigo mane and tail was curled in a nice style, and her cutie mark was a trio of blue gems. I then looked at the orange mare, her blonde mane and tail was also tied back, kind of like mine, but less so. She wore a brown stetson hat, her emerald green eyes stood out more with her freckles she had. Her cutie mark was a trio of red apples. The last one that was with them was a yellow pegasus, her mane and tail was pink and pretty long, and it sort of dragged on the ground as she ducked her head. She seemed to be a shyer pony, her big innocent cyan eyes were nice. Her cutie mark was three pink butterflies. I turned my attention back to my table, putting my am on it and leaned on my hoof. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a blue pegasus swoop down from the sky and landed behind me. She seemed to be the pony I saw lounging around on the cloud when I arrived, her blue coat and rainbow mane stood out to me. Her eyes were the same colour as mine and that caught my attention. Her cutie mark was a cloud shooting out a rainbow coloured lighting bolt.

"Sorry girls, hope I didn't keep you waiting." She said as she trotted past me, giving me a quick glance before she walked up the others as they sat down. My food arrived, and I started eating, the girls at the table a stones throw away laughed, talked and shared funny things. They are laughing at you... I closed my eyes, ignoring the voice. They know what happened, how dad died, and they are laughing at it.

"That's not true..." I whispered under my breath, making sure no one could hear me. My horn glowed and the voice stopped, letting me resume eating in peace. Once I finished, I placed my payment on the table and got down, trotting beside the table of mares.

"And then I shot up!" The blue one was telling a story, her hoof sailing up and smashed me in the muzzle, making me tumble over as I was a bit dazed. "Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh." She said quickly as I heard her get up and put her hoofs on my side and I groaned, moving my hoofs to my muzzle and held it gently. "I'm soooo sorry! I didn't know you were behind me!" I moved my left hoof away, blood was on it and she gasped again. "Oh my gosh, I'm sooo sooo sorry! Here." She went to the table and picked up some napkins in her lips, offering them to me and I took them in my magic, putting them on my bleeding nose. "The name is Rainbow Dash, so sorry about that." She blushed in embarrassment, and I smiled.

"It was an accident. Harley, Harley Sellers." She stuck her hoof to me and I used my right hoof to shake hers. She put her hoof down and tilted her head, one eye half closed and the other eyebrow was raised.

"I don't think I've ever seen you before." I chuckled, checking the napkins to see if I stopped bleeding.

"I just moved here." But before I could let her ask why I added. "And I would rather not talk about my past if you don't mind." She just shrugged her shoulders and looked over her shoulder at the others. "Well I had better get going, nice meeting you Rainbow..." I looked at the others and took a step forward. "But what are your names?" I asked and the purple one spoke first.

"Newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle." She then went in a circle, telling me the others names. "That's Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy." They all nodded when their name was said, besides Fluttershy, she kind of huddled down as if to make herself smaller.

"I like your ponytail dear, it suits you nicely." Rarity said, making me blush and flip it to my other shoulder as the other girls slightly nodded with that statement.

"Umm, thanks. I should get going now." I waved goodbye and walked off, my ponytail returning to it's normal position on my left shoulder as I walked in the town, wanting to take in the sights of the town. After a couple hours of looking around, I arrived in what seemed to be the town centre, the town hall standing tall and proud of the small town, but it seemed humble and peaceful. "Now, to find a place to live..." I said to myself, not knowing somepony was behind me.

"You are looking for a place to live, no?" I turned my head, to see the unicorn from before named Rarity. She was a couple hoofs away from me and she walked, closing the distance. I blushed, flipping my ponytail with my hoof to the other side.

"Umm, yea. Any motels around here?" She raised her eyebrow and shook her head, making my heart sink.

"Nothing of the sorts in Ponyville. I see you are from the city." She smiled and I raised my eyebrow, about to ask how. "Oh, I can tell just by looking at you. You see, any stallions around here do physically demanding work, so long hair isn't something they usually have." She said as she put her hoof under my ponytail. "Also, just the way you walk gives it away." I blinked, taking what she said into consideration. "I am almost obsessed with living in the city of Canterlot, I can tell city ponies from country ponies easy. Anyways, I think I can help you with your living problem, you may live with me in my boutique." My jaw dropped, and I stammered to find something to say.

"Th- thanks Rarity, how much for rent?" She giggled and shook her head.

"No payment, you need someplace to live, and I could use an assistant for a little while, so helping me in exchange for a roof over your head, and meals, deal? Besides, I could use the company." I was speechless, but managed to nod in agreement. "Wonderful! Let's head there now and I can show you around!" She trotted off and I followed, my hair bouncing lightly as we trotted. We soon arrived, and I used my magic to open her door, letting her inside. I followed her and looked around the main room.

"You are a designer?" I asked and she giggled and rolled her eyes.

"Of sorts, a clothes weaver and designer! I create all kinds of pony fashion!" She said and I yawned, making her glance back at me and smile. "You must of had a big day, let me show you to your room." I nodded sleepily, following her up the stairs and to the second floor when we came to a door. "This is your room, the one across the hall is mine, and the room at the end is the bathroom. Good night dear." She said as I walked in, speaking aloud.

"Good night... Hey?" She stopped and turned around and I did the same, she was just about to enter her own room. "Thanks." She smiled and nodded.

"Sweet dreams Harley." She closed her door behind her and I closed the door to my new room. I undid my saddlebags, putting them on the floor and pulled back the sweet smelling blanked and sat down. I undid the ribbon at the end of my mane and my jet black silky hair went free, flowing over my shoulder.

"Much better." I laid down, closing my eyes and my horn glowed, casting a spell on myself to keep from... changing in my sleep. I felt safe, comfortable and I soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Rise and shine." I heard a voice sort of sing, and I rolled onto my back and opened my eyes. I saw Rarity lightly blush, staring at me and I scratched my head and saw what she was looking at. "My my, I never thought your mane was that beautiful." I felt my face get warm as I rolled out of bed and made the bed, my mane still down as I hoped to get a shower before I redid it.

"I only put it down when I'm sleeping, and in the shower. Speaking of which, would you mind if I took a shower?" I asked, making her giggle.

"My home is yours now, so of course. I will be down in the kitchen, towels are in the closet to the right." She said as she left my room and went down the stairs. I walked towards the bathroom, my hooves clicking all the way down the hall. Once I entered it, I closed the door behind me and took in my surroundings. It was mostly white, with purple towels around and some metal parts were gold.

"Nice..." I mumbled, stepping towards the shower. I turned on the water, making sure it was pretty hot, just how I liked to take my showers. Once it was a suitable level of warmth, I hopped in and let the hot water cascade down me, wetting my coat and mane. My mane draped over my neck, reaching down to the base of it and my horn glowed as I picked up some shampoo and conditioner, two in one. I squirted some in my hair and grabbed the brush and worked it into my dirty mane. While I usually kept clean, it wasn't my top priority, keeping sane was. I shook my head, getting those thoughts out of my mind and I then got some coat cleaner, putting some on the brush and started to scrub my body clean. It felt nice as the water washed the dirt away, the feeling of being clean soon coming over me and I smiled to my self. I used my magic to detach the shower head and moved it up to my hair and started to rinse it off. After a minute or so, I turned off the water and stepped out of the tub. My horn glowed as I brought a towel to me and started to dry myself off. I felt fresh and I smelled it too as I dried my hair out. After I dried off, cleaned up the water and put the towel in the hamper, I trotted back to the door way to my new room, my horn glowing as the small piece of black fabric floated over to me and I headed down the stairs. As I reached the bottom, I saw Rarity talking to Rainbow on the main floor.

"Thanks for patching it up, I guess we all went a little overboard last time." She blushed and Rarity nodded and giggled.

"Yes, we all had a bad night, but it's pretty funny to look back on now." Rainbow smirked and her eyes went over to me as I came down the stairs.

"Well well well, Harley! You livin here now?" She asked and I trotted up to them, my old ribbon was floating beside me as I was about to do my hair up when Rarity stopped me.

"You can't wrap your handsome hair with that dirty cloth, I will get you another!" She said and trotted off, leaving me and Rainbow. I lightly rolled my shoulders, and Rainbow looked at me, a blush in her cheeks.

"Handsome is right..." She muttered and I glanced over at her and asked.

"What was that?" I didn't think I heard her correctly and she jumped a little and stuttered.

"I said dirty is right! That ribbon, it was pretty dirty." She grinned, making me smirk and roll my eyes as Rarity came back in, another brand new piece of ribbon floating over to me. I took it and my magic started to do my hair back up as I looked at Rarity.

"So, about breakfast?" My stomach growled and she giggled, pointing to the kitchen.

"Breakfast is done, Rainbow dear, would you like to stay?" She asked the cyan pagasus and she put her hoof to her chin before nodding.

"Sure, sounds good to me!" She jumped up and started flying, hovering towards the kitchen, me and Rarity followed. Rarity looked over at me as we walked to the kitchen.

"Have you done that a lot?" She asked and I looked at her with my eyebrow raised, before realizing that she

"Oh, I guess I have. It's like a second nature." I said as it finished and I tied the new black ribbon to the end of it, my ponytail resting over my left shoulder. We made it to the kitchen and Rarity walked over to the stove, getting our breakfast on plates. I sat down as did Rainbow and I glanced over at her. "So, I'm guessing you like to fly huh?" She looked over at me and giggle a little, spreading her wings.

"I guess you could say that. Heck, I love flying! I am the number one flier in all of Equestria anyways, it's only a matter of time before I get into the Wonderbolts." She put her hoof out as if examining it, before scratching it against her coat. "So what do you do?" Her eyes trailing to my cutie mark but I just shrugged my shoulders.

"I dunno, I got my cutie mark when I was still a foal, so I don't know what triggered it. I have never really been to special in one thing ever, so I don't really know." She then gasped, looking at me.

"Whaa! Everypony is special at something! How about I help you try and find what you're most talented at?" She smirked and I felt my cheeks get hot and I nodded.

"I guess so, why not." I said quietly and she smirked and sat back, leaning the chair back a little as she eyed my cutie mark.

"Hmm, that's a yin yang symbol right? So maybe you are good at martial arts?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"I dunno, I've never been much of a fighter, so I doubt it." She then rolled her eyes and leaned back a bit further.

"Well it won't hurt to tr- ah!" She yelped a little as her chair tilted back a little too far and she started to fall backwards, her forelegs flailing a bit as she started to fall. I gasped and my horn glowed out of instinct and the chair glowed as I caught her in mid air and she gripped the chair, panting as she looked back, about an inch from the floor. She was wide eyed and I got out of my chair and hopped over to her.

"Are you ok?" She just nodded, panting a little. I stuck out my hoof and she took hold of it and I pulled her and lifted the chair with my magic at the same time.

"Thanks to you, man, you got some quick reflexes Harley!" I blushed and she got up, lightly hitting me in the shoulder. "Thanks for that, I owe you one." I blushed at her praise, scratching the back of my head with my left hoof.

"It was nothing really, I didn't even get time to think, I just reacted." She then smiled putting her hoof on my left shoulder.

"Well thanks." I blushed, and she giggled. "Well aren't you a shy boy?" I blushed a little harder and she giggled, turning a little and her tail flicked up and gently tickled my chin before it went back down and she went back to her seat and I did the same looking at the floor, avoiding eye contact.

"Sorry about that." Rarity said as she came trotting back into the kitchen, she must of left when me and Rainbow were talking. "I have a very important customer place an order." Me and Rainbow just nodded, Rarity's horn glowing as she lifted three plates and moved them over to the table. I seen what she made for us, each got a hashbrown, some hay, and a piece of toast with some peanut butter on it. We at our breakfast, Rainbow and Rarity were talking about something but I zoned out as they kept on talking. These girls sure are nice... I then felt a little weird. What do they want from me? There is no way somepony can be so nice to me, they want something from me... Free labour forever? All my bits? I opened my eyes wide, breathing deep as I stared down at the empty plate in front of me. "Harley? Are you ok?" I heard Rarity ask, her voice was light. I looked over at her, she had a concerned look on her face and Rainbow looked at me with wide eyes.

"Yea I'm fine." I said, not wanting to tell the my problems.

"Uhh, then why did you imbed the fork into the table?" Rainbow asked, her eyes trialing down the table and my eyes followed hers. My fork indeed was imbedded into the table and I blushed.

"Rarity, I'm so sorry." She put her hoof on my arm, gently rubbing it.

"What made you do that?" She inquired and I sighed. I had to tell them now...

"Well... you see." I then sighed, lightly tearing up. They are going to kick you out, once they know your illness, you are nothing but a- "THAT'S NOT TRUE!" I stood up and yelled, making both mares get out of their chairs, Rarity stepping back and Rainbow flew up a little. I panted, before I turned and ran towards the door, tears streaming down my face as I lost my cool and scared them both off.

"Harley!?" I heard Rainbow call after my but I ignored her and almost reached the door when I felt a weight on my back. I saw blue hooves go over my shoulders as Rainbow pinned me underneath her. I grunted as I felt to the ground and struggled for a few seconds before I stopped and buried my face in my hooves. "What's going... Oh..." Her voice in my right ear, and I knew she was looking over my head and at my face, at least, what she could see. I felt ashamed at my sudden outburst and felt a couple tears wipe into my forelegs. She tried to pull my hooves away, but she couldn't get a good grasp. "Come on Harley, it's ok... Just tell us what's wrong, please?" Her voice was soothing, a tone I have yet to hear from her and I just peeked out, looking up at her. Her face was really close to mine, allowing me to look into her beautiful eyes, I don't know how long I stared, but after a wait, I sighed.

"I'm a bipolar schizophrenic and have SPD alright..." I managed to say and she looked at me, clearly not understanding what I was saying. "I bucking hear voices, can't control my mood sometimes and have split personalities ok! Make fun of me all you want because I guess I'm just bucking insane!" I buried my arms again and she shifted, her breathing coming in a bit deeper as she took in what I said. She rolled off me, laying beside me, her hoof gently caressing my back while she gently said.

"Why would I do that? You seem like a nice guy Harley, I don't fully understand what you have, but I'm sure I can get you help." I stopped, lifting my head up and I looked at her.

"You... mean that?" I said quietly, breathing through my mouth.

"Yea, listen, I will get you help, I promise you." She then smirked. "I am the element of loyalty after all." I didn't understand what she meant by that but when she finished I jumped at her, wrapping my right hoof over her back and hugged her tight, making her yelp a little. My brain was swimming, nothing making sense as I tried to clear my mind. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't as the darkness surrounded me.

"Welcome Harley, you miss me?" That voice... My eyes shot open and I was staring at... me. But it wasn't me, his calm stare turned into a devilish smile. He looked exactly like me, but his eyes were a full pale blue, just a blue orb with a white light where his pupil should of been. And his cutie mark, the white part was a blood red. I snarled and put his hoof to his chest, dramaticly saying. "Why so hostile? We are one of the same anyways!" I snorted and shook my head.

"We are nothing alike Enoch, you are nothing but the dark side of me, something I wish would stay hidden." He laughed, but it was more of a crackling. He approached me and put his hoof on my shoulder.

"Oh but we are alike, I am you, and you are me. But it seems you have forgotten about me, leaving me to the corner of your mind, pushed like a runt, kept away from the world for so long!" He walked away. "And what about this rainbow pegasus hmm?" On cue, Rainbow appeared beside him, standing like a statue. "I will get you help, don't worry..." He said in a girly tone before running his hoof down her cheek. "It's like she cares about you, but that's a lie, the only one here who cares about you is me!" He back hoofed Rainbow and she shattered into a billion pieces. I gasped and ran over to the pile of blue and rainbow bits, tears falling down my face as I sat there. "Cheer up bucko, as long as you have me, you will be complete." I gritted my teeth and stood up and I charged at him and rammed him, missing slightly as he moved, seemingly without moving at all. He checked his hoof and scratched it against his chest. "That all? Puh lease." He grinned that stupid grin and I lashed at him again, missing and I kept going at it for a couple swings before I stepped back, panting as he giggled, flipping his own ponytail to his right shoulder, mirroring me. "Come on, is that all you got?" He yelled, his eyes going wide and I took a step back before my horn glowed and I closed my eyes. "See you next time, Harley!" He called after me as I pushed myself out of my mind and back to reality.

I took a deep breath of air, my eyes shooting open when I felt a hoof on my chest. I panted, looking down at the cyan blue hoof that was gently rubbing my chest. "Rainbow... I... I..." The hoof trailed up to my lips, silencing me and she spoke lightly.

"It's ok, Twilight told me in more detail about your, condition. Were getting you a psychiatric evaluation." She smiled, but my heart sank, I don't think she knew what could happen.

"Rainbow... do you know what could happen?" She raised her eyebrow and I continued. "If the doctor, deems I'm unstable, I will be locked up in an institution until they say I can leave..." She gasped, shaking her head, the colour draining from her face a little.

"You have to be... Harley... I..." She glanced over her shoulder and I looked that way as well, hearing trotting going down the hall. "I have to go, this is my fault." And with that, she dashed out of the room and down the hallway. I sat up, a chilling feeling running up my spine. Don't worry little one, everything will be fine... I gasped, that voice. "Heather?" I whispered. Yes, relax. Keep your mind off it, go ask Rarity if she needs your help. I nodded... She had never steered me wrong, acting like a motherly figure to me for years, always coming right before I felt like I couldn't take anymore. I hopped out of my bed and walked to the door, my hoof steps lightly clicking as I walked towards the door, a light singing filled my ears and I was intrigued to find out who it came from. I trotted down the stairs, stopping half way as I looked out onto the main floor, Rarity was attending to a dress on a mannequin, the threads, needles, ribbon were all floating beside her, her wonderful voice filled my ears. I made it the rest of the way down the stairs, my hoofs clicking on the hard floor startled her and she yelped, jumping lightly and she glanced over at me.

"Oh, Harley, I didn't hear you over my singing... Oh..." She blushed, turning back to her work, clearly embarrassed. I just smiled and trotted over.

"It's fine, beside, you have a lovely voice, anyways, need a hoof?" I asked and she glanced back at me, thinking about it for a minute and nodded.

"I have a very important customer coming in ten minutes at the train station. She is quite famous, and I need her to be escorted here without being caught up in the crowd. I nodded, it seemed like a simple task. "And be careful, paparazzi can be very dangerous." I gulped and nodded, trotting to the door and left, looking around Ponyville for a second, taking a deep breath of fresh air and I set off, heading for the station. It took me a couple minutes when I spotted it, a group of mares at it.

"Word must of leaked..." I muttered and trotted up, making my way through the crowd when a guard stopped me.

"Not a step further pal." He said gruffly, and I shook my head.

"I was sent by Rarity..." He simply nodded and let me in, the mares up front started groaning and shouting, trying to force their way past but he stood strong. Once I was at the front, I saw the train coming down the tracks, slowing down as to make the station. I looked back at the crazy fans, and gulped. My horn glowed and something teleported to me, and I picked both it up. It was a long sword, with a small bow staff attached to the scabbard. I was trained in the way of the sword as a means to protect myself and others, but I was also taught how to use a bow staff in case I needed something less lethal. I looked back, putting the sword strap around me and secured it to my back, the girls going wild as the train pulled to a stop and the door right next to me opened, a stunning earth mare stepped out, the crowd going even more wild. Her coat was a pale gold, her eyes were a amber colour, and her mane and tail were a brilliant cobalt. She wore a... I actuality couldn't tell what it was, although it looked nice on her. Regardless, I had a job to do and approached her. "Hello, I am Harley, I was sent by Rarity to escort you to the boutique." She smiled and nodded, putting her hoof out to me.

"Sapphire Shores, and I must say..." She eyed me up and down. "She knows how to pick em!" She smiled and I blushed, biting my lip as I tried to come up with something to say.

"Uh, thanks...?" I gulped and looked towards the boutique. "But we really must be going." She nudged me with her muzzle.

"Lead the way." I sighed and trotted towards the boutique, hoping to get there as soon as possible. We were followed, her fans were blabbering on, saying everything from...

"Can I have some of you mane?!" To... "Is he your new coltfriend? Did you buck him yet?" I blushed, my patience running thin and I turned around and walked backwards.

"Shoo! Scram! She isn't dating me, I just met her!" Sapphire giggled and the mare spoke up again.

"So your a pay stallion? Can I have a try! How many bits?!" I blushed furiously and stopped, putting up a barrier, the mares walking into it.

"Enough! I'm not a cheap fuck!" I lost my cool a little, making Sapphire almost burst out laughing, once again, that mare spoke up, pressed against the blue barrier.

"Sooo, you charge a lot?" I twitched, grunting and I took a staggered breath, turning back around and kept on walking.

"Not a word..." I said and I heard the mare call out behind me.

"Oh come on! I'm just as good as her! I could buck your brains out!" I felt a bead of sweat fall down my jaw and I kept on walking, my face flustered. We soon arrived at the boutique, and I opened the door for her and she couldn't keep a straight face, walking in and Rarity greeted us.]

"Oh Sapphire! Long time no see!" They did a one foreleg hug, before Rarity noticed Sapphire was trying not to laugh. "What's funny?" She asked, looking at me and I blushed, walking off.

"Nothing! Just had some problems with mares on the way..." I said, and she looked at Sapphire then smirked.

"Well, to be honest, they thought he was my coltfriend, then, you know what." Rarity blushed, giggling and I groaned, walking over to a wall to hit my head against a little.

"Well now, how did he react to that?" They walked over to the dress Rarity was working on.

"He kept his cool for a while, until one asked if he was a pay stallion, then asked how much he charged." I groaned, hitting my head into the wall again.

"I can still hear ya you know!" They both giggled, making me sigh and lightly hit my head into the wall again.

"Sorry about that Harley, Rainbow came back, she wants you to meet her just west of Ponyville." I was about to ask why and she looked over and shrugged her shoulder. "I have no idea, but she seemed to be in a hurry so I wouldn't keep a lady waiting. I nodded and trotted for the door and went outside, heading west. I went for a couple minutes before I slowed to a small walk, looking around and I saw that nopony was out here. I sat down, scanning the area for Rainbow, but I just couldn't see here. Was this a joke? After a minute, I got up to leave when I saw a glimpse of blue coming from Ponyville, heading in my direction. I smiled, waving my hoof to the flying pegasus and she soared down, heading towards me and stopped, about five meters off the ground. She had what looked to be a basket in her mouth? She landed, putting the basket down and smiled at me.

"Hey." Her eyes trailed to my sword and she smirked. "Well, I didn't know you had a sword! Wait, you said you weren't much a fighter?" I looked back, starting at the handle of it and noticed as well we were quite a distance from Ponyville.

"Well, I'm not. I was just trained in the way of self defence." I flipped my ponytail.

"Anyways, how about some lunch?" She motioned towards the basket and I raised my eyebrow.

"A picnic?" I looked up, it seemed to be a little late for lunch but I was kinda hungry. She sat down, opening it up and nodded, a faint blush on her face.

"Yea, not really my style, but I owe ya one. Oh and you don't have to worry about any doctors, I handled it." She smiled, grabbing a red and white checkered blanket and spread it out over the grass. I removed my sword, setting beside the blanket. She sat on it, patting the area next to her and I sat down, my cheeks getting a bit warm. She pulled out a couple sandwiches, they were grass and daisy sandwiches. They both looked good, and she offered me one on her up turned hoof. I took it, her hoof trailing down my foreleg a little but the retreated to hold her own sandwich. We ate in silence for a couple seconds, and I thought of nothing until I felt her tail flick and touch my thigh. We had some small talk between us, getting to know each other better. She told me about her different aerial tricks, and how she was crowned best young flier by none other then Celestia! She told me about her past adventures, although not going into detail. We both finished our sandwiches, the sun starting to go down, the orange glow on the horizon. I leaned back a bit, putting my hoof on the blanket and Rainbow did the same. After a couple seconds, I felt her shift then her hoof brushed mine. I looked at her, her gaze was glued froward and her cheeks were pink. I looked down, her hoof going around mine a bit and I spoke.

"Rainbow?" She jumped slightly, her hoof wrapping around mine and she turned to look at me.

"Harley... There's something I want to tell you." She blushed and I looked down at her hoof, slightly wrapping mine around hers as well. She put her hoof on my shoulder, making me look at her. "I really like you, and perhaps..." She sheepishly said, biting her lip. "Maybe you wanted to go on a date sometime?" I blushed, her hopeful look made my heart beat quicker and my breaths come in shorter. "Well?" She asked, pushing a little bit towards me. I thought about it for a moment and then nodded, making her eyes go wide. "Are you serious?..." She whispered, and I nodded again, wrapping my hoof tighter around hers.

"Sure, I like you too Rainbow." She smiled and I could see she was resisting the urge to prance around, shouting what happened to the world. Instead, she shot forward and hugged me, her hoofs wrapping around my back and I did the same to hers, her cheek was nuzzled into my shoulder. We sat there for a couple moments before I tried to break the hug, but her hoofs wouldn't pull back.

"Not yet..." She smiled, nuzzling into my coat and she took a deep breath. "This is perfect." She pushed me back, laying atop me and pulled her hoofs back, laying them on my chest. I brought my hoof up to go behind my head, my other started to stroke her shoulder, soon falling asleep myself. We slept there until the moon started to raise and I decided it was time to head home. I looked down at Rainbow, she was sleeping. She looked so peaceful, but once I looked closer, she as asleep! She seemed to be a rowdy pegasus, more tomboyish but right now, she looked perfect. Her side rose and fell with each breath, her calm expression on her face as she slept peacefully. I smiled, gently brushing her rainbow coloured mane out of her face. I gently shook her, trying to rouse her gently.

"Rainbow, time to get up." She rolled a little, mumbling after she stopped.

"Five more minutes..." I smirked and shook her a bit harder.

"Rainbow it's getting dark now." She slowly opened her eyes, staring into mine sleepily, a silly smile on her muzzle.

"Oh hey, guess I fell asleep." She yawned and smiled again. "Not that you can blame me, when you touched my back while I laid on you, knocked me right out." I blushed, making her giggle a little and we both looked up, the moon was a bit higher then it was. "Well I better get home, I have to work in the morning." She said, and I raised my eyebrow, wondering what her job was. "I'm on the Ponyville weather patrol, so it's up to me to make sure the weather is what it's supposed to be." I nodded, letting a yawn out and she smiled. "Tired?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yea, just a little." She got off me and I instantly felt cold, as did she as she shook herself out as I picked up my sword and strapped it to my back.

"How about we meet up sometime tomorrow?" I smiled and nodded as she started to pack up the basket. "How about we take a lunch break at the Cafe in town?" I nodded, making a mental note to ask Rarity where it was tomorrow morning. "Sounds like a plan." She smiled hugely and... Squeed? That's the best I can come up with describing the sound. "Ohmygosh this is awesome! I have my own coltfriend." I smiled, a nice feeling coming up inside me and she finished packing the basket, walking up to me. She blushed and leaned forward closing her eyes and kissed me on the lips, my eyes going wide and her wings shot open. I closed my eyes and pressed into it, gently tilting my head to the side. After a couple seconds, she pulled back and her face was a light pink. "I will see you tomorrow around noon ok?" She smiled and I did the same and nodded.

"Yea, noon." She picked up the basket in her mouth and flew up a couple feet, nuzzling my cheek with hers and she took off, waving before she zoomed away. I stood there, still on cloud nine from the kiss. I put my hoof to my lips, the feeling of hers was still there. My first kiss... I felt warm and fuzzy inside, my breaths coming in a bit shorter and I started to trot back to Ponyville, my mind swimming in thought about having a marefriend. Before I knew it, I arrived in the boutique, the bell ringing as I stepped inside.

"Harley?" Her voice came from up stairs.

"Yea?" I walked in, locking the door behind me and I walked towards the stairs.

"Get up here now!" She said with a hint of anger and I flayed my ears back, walking up the stairs to her room. Her door was slightly ajar and I knocked. "Enter." I did so, my head hung low, she was sitting at a small table with a mirror. "And why are you so late coming home? I thought something happened to you!" She turned around, staring me down and I rubbed the back of my head.

"Well Rainbow and me had a late picnic, and we fell asleep." I said and she raised her eyebrow.

"Picnic? Rainbow? She got a picnic ready for you?" She was starting to piece it together and I nodded.

"Yea, and were having lunch tomorrow as well." I could see the realization come across her and I nodded. "Yea, were going to start dating now." I blushed and she gaped, a smile spreading across her face.

"Well, isn't that a surprise!" She noticed how embarrassed I seemed to be and she squinted her eyes a little then smirked. "She kissed you didn't she?" My eyes went wide and I stuttered.

"Ho- how?" She giggled and approached me, putting her hoof on my shoulder.

"I could tell just by that look dear, you look memorized." I blushed, and yawned. "I think it's bed time, you had an eventful day." I nodded and she caught me off guard by hugging me with her foreleg. "Good night dear." I nodded and made my way to my room, closing the door behind me. I took off my sword, standing it up against my bedside table and climbed into bed. As I laid there, I flipped over and looked in front of me, an empty feeling going up through me and I hopped she felt the same way. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep, clutching my extra pillow to and I imagined it to be Rainbow in my forelegs.
