Foreword.

Before this story even begins, you need to know these things. Don't worry! Don't stop reading! Just hear me out.

don't you mean…read, me out? Snicker!

*sigh* no Mental, I mean hear.

Anyway, this story is dedicated to my girlfriend, Natasha Henningsen and also to my little brother, who died within his first hour of life, (on Feb. the 1st, 2007) I may not have known you very well, but I felt like you knew me already, I hope you can see me up in the clouds, and that you know this is for you.

Now with that out the way, you also need to know, that good things come to those who wait. Meaning I'm just on my 3rd day of year 9 at my school, so if you notice that chapters are coming quite slow, that's why. That, however is not the reason chapters might not be up to par for your standards as a veteran Fan Fiction reader and writer, that will be because this is my first publish, not story, but publish, but unlike the other 2 this one will be on the top of my to do list. However, please don't think this is an excuse to not review harshly, I love creative criticism and to just simply hear other peoples thoughts on the matter at hand. However, again, if you don't like the story for whatever reason, then please tell me, unless you don't like My little pony.

Seriously! Why read the first chapters of these fanfics if you don't even like MLP!? Because all your doing is writing mean reviews, hurting the MLP Fanfic community with they're loss of confidence!

Thank you Mental… but I was tring to take pity on them…

You're welcome!

This chapter will start with the descriptions of the conssions,

(A/N)

I'm sorry, I go through phases were I can't spell a word and this is it, the word I mean is a plural of your little voice that tells you things, makes you feel guilty and other stuff. That thing! Again, sorry

(A/N)

Will have the story prologue, a song and the first D'awwwwwwww moment in a mini adventure, and end with my favourite word.

(A/N)

Then in other chapters I'll have a quote and the author if known.

(A/N)

now that I'm finished with wasting your time, please enjoy!

Intro:
last chance of a man, and a new chance for a Pony

On the Coast of Cainge':

Rei'V had had it all planned out, and if you'd asked him, it was going along perfectly. The restaurant had been more than willing to reserve the best table, which had a beautiful mountainous scene that was spectacularly blended with the setting sun. 'Now was the time' Bend whispered in his ear through his sub conscience form, 'come on Rei'V! You can do this!' Easy continued, agreeing with bend which was a strange thing to happen.

However, before he could even move, Mental suggested, 'hey, if we walk out to the edge of the barriers, it would be a bit more romantic! Right?' Thinking for a second, Rei'V had to agree with Mental, after all, you can't argue with your own inventiveness. That was one of the emotions that Mental represented, the other two being humour and regret, a funny combination if you asked him, 'but that's not what I should be thinking about! I should be thinking about how to ask her to marry me! Not…'

Noticing how Rei'V was struggling on how to do this, Preach took over his body for a while, asking the quite petite girl if she'd like to go out to the barriers, protecting anyone from falling of the edge and into the small rock pools on the beach side, saying that there was a question he wanted to ask. He offered his hand to help her out of her seat, which was purely for show and a sign of respect, and they slowly walked, off towards the cliff edge.

While he was watching this Rei'V, from within his own mind, yet again noticed how the girls beautiful, flowing locks of hair seemed to glisten with a purity not even found in a freshly mined diamond, especially when the sun's setting rays gently bounced off her hair and seemed to make the anything around her glow with its reflection. Her beautiful rosy checks seemed to be extra rosy as her and Mental, who had taken over for Preach because he was in need of a rest, where slowly reaching they're destination.

On one of the sky scrapers towering behind the restaurant:

A simple rock, nope nothing else of interest up here, but that rock IS interesting. How? Why don't we ask the little bird who just knocked it off.

Oh no! It might hurt someone! Luckily it's nowhere near Rei'V! But the sponge it just hit off a window washers lift is a bit closer

…oh wait! Its gonna hit a road!

Whew! That's lucky, no ones going to get hurt. Except that bike courier who just fell of it! Well, the bad thing is that a few people will have to wait a bit longer for they pizza, but wait! Is that a pine nut that's flying towards Rei'V's open mouth!

He's allergi…oh! Looks like we're to late readers!

At the barriers:

Well, luckily the only thing bad happening was that something flew in my mouth, originally I thought it was a pine nut but Mental who had given me control again, assured me that it was a fly with this, 'why would a pine nut be flying through the air? It wouldn't! That's why!' well, here goes nothing! I thought to my conssions, who all stayed quiet for they knew now wasn't the time to talk, now was the time to do. I took a big breath and…? I took a big breath and…?! I can't breath! I finally felt my body SCREAMING for oxygen! I suddenly lost control of my legs and fell to the ground, coughing and gagging! Trying to breath through my now swelled lungs! The ring had fallen out of my pocket, but who cares!? I'm suffocating! I felt my self being rolled over, and saw a blurry version of the girl I was to suppose to be proposing to. "Rei'V! REI'V! it's me! Tina! I'm here! Come towards my voice! Don't leave me…" the last bit she practically mouthed it was so quiet, only to be followed with, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!" by now she was sobbing and I could, through my remaining furred eye's, make out a few more people who had stopped to try and help. I could also hear the sirens signalling that an ambulance was just around the corner, but it was to late, I had been to late to ask her. So, with my last bits of strength, and holding what little breath I had left in me, I reached over, and picked up the little box, and put it in her hand, and whispered in her ear, which was trying to find a pulse, "I'm sorry I was to late..." and left for good.

White…wait white? That wasn't the colour of the sky a few

"…oh"

And that's all I could say, as the memories started to come back, first as a trickle, then a as a full blown tidal wave of pure emotions. Rei'V couldn't remember the last time he felt these emotions like this, normally his conssions would control most but leave enough for him to be a normal… a normal…? "What was I? I can't remember anything about what I was?! Not even what Tina was!" what had started as a whisper suddenly turned into a roar even the king of the beasts would fear! When I had finally calmed my rage I decide that having no one to talk to would be like a death sentence, so I unblocked my mind, which I had done in the fear that my conssions would be hurt when I…*gulp* died.

"Hey guys, are you ok?" I asked out loud, hopping, no praying that I wasn't alone.

… No reply

"no, please no! don't you leave me! I need you guys!" by now, Rei'V was sobbing on the ground, trying to resist the memories from the first time he realised he could hear his conssions until now, but there was to many. One in particular stood out. One was of Preach, and he was talking to Rei'V after his first girlfriend had dumped him.

Flashback-

Rei'V was still sitting on the park bench, with his long, shining black hair hiding his face, on which were two symmetrical lines of 'liquid crystal' as Bend would describe. He couldn't remember how long he'd been sitting there, and all his consciences had receded into the very back of his mind to avoid the pure and raw emotions flowing through his mind. Even Mental had thought twice about trying to lighten his mood. They had all left him as he had asked them to…all except Preach, who sat on his shoulder slowly rubbing his back in a attempt to relax Rei'V. 'This was his first heartbreak' Preach said to him self. Finally, he spoke to Rei'V,

'Rei'V, a great love is like a good memory.

When it's there, and you can see it! But its just out of your reach,

It can be all that you think about. Sure, you may try to force it, push it pull it towards you, whatever, but in the end you see that your actually just pushing it further away from you. But! If you just wait, give it a little nudge, maybe, just maybe, it'll come to you and be even better then you remember.'

When he had finished, Rei'V had calmed down and the others had come back and where all sitting on Rei'V's head, listening to him.

There was a pause, and then Rei'V said to them,

"Would you guys ever leave me?"

to which Preach answered with,

'we will never say good bye to you, we may disappear for some reason, but we'll come back.

Never say good bye, if you don't say good bye you haven't really left, your just not there right now.'

Rei'V seemed to think about this for a bit, then his smile returned.

"I'll never say good bye."

'good boy' Preach had said with a smile that brought a special type of warmth to Rei'V's heart, a warmth that stayed with him all the way home.

End flashback-

Sitting in the white, Rei'V slowly said,

"never say good bye, if you don't say goodbye you haven't really left, your…your just not here at the moment."

By the end, he was crying again.

Then he started to sing

(Rei'V)

As they turn to see the new singer, and see Bend! Mental jumps on Bend and nearly breaks his back.

They all fell over from both exhaustion and happiness.

The first to talk was Preach,

"I told you Rei'V, I told you we'd find yo…"

"And I never doubted you" Rei'V interrupted with a hug.

'Erhem!'

"wait your turn Mental!" bend shouted, turning to face him.

"hey! It wasn't me! I swear!"

"well no one else did…" Rei'V concluded, slowly turning to where the voice came from, only to be blinded by a shining light of a pure white! So white you could see it clearly in the realm of white they where trapped in.

"It was not your time, and you can go back to your world or to a new one, start fresh." The thunderous voice said in a strangely calming and loving way.

But before Rei'V could answer he was interrupted by Mental.

"what like Equestria?" he said using the fact Rei'V was a brony against him without meaning it.

"yeaaaaah…drop us off there!" Mental continued with a snicker.

"very well then…EQUESTRIA IT IS!" he boomed, only then causing Mental to realise what he had done, used Rei'V's possibly last chance at getting back to tina!

"sorry Rei'V…" Mental muttered.

Rei'V could only stare at Mental with his mouth open, then mutter.

"it's okay…I guess" whispering the last bit as to not hurt the childish Mental.

"good bye, and good luck to you!" the voice said again and before anything else could be said, Rei'V had the shocking realisation that he was falling.

Chapter 1:

D'awwwwwwww, a puppy!

Listen to fix you for this:

Rei'V had fainted, but luckily for him, his conssions hadn't, and had used his newly formed wings and landed him just outside a town and in the tree line right, dead in the middle between a large forest and the town. By the time that Rei'V had finally woken it was already midnight so he went looking for a good place to rest up for the night.

Only now did Rei'V notice how he looked, he was a black Pegasus with a mane striped with yellow and red in shaped like some spines combed backwards.

It's a cold night. Even with this extra exercise, Rei'V is still becoming cold, though not very much because he was still waring his human clothes, a button up shirt and tracksuit pants, and though they were warm, Preach convinced him to take them off and carry them to be used later. However, while searching in the dark walks straight into a tree, but only then does he notice the strange sniffling sounds and the leaves rustling in the tree. Curiosity over comes Preaches warnings, and he jumps with the extra force of his wings and lands, not on a branch, but on a platform, and in the middle is a small orange Pegasus filly with a purple mane, shivering violently in the cold air without a blanket to keep her warm. Feeling a strong connection, and being urged on by his consciences, he removes his human clothes from his back, where he was carrying them, and lays the shirt on the small filly and the residual body heat heats her up almost instantly.

(A/N)

She was that cold! Wow! Rei'V probably just saved he life!

(A/N)

Deciding to watch over her, and having nowhere else to sleep that night, he sits on the trunk of the tree, and drifts into a sleep, freezing cold on the outside, but warm on the inside by the deed he had done.

Scootaloo wakes up a bit later, feeling warm, but confused because she didn't remember putting a blanket on or even owning a blanket. She gets up and notices what had woken her, a big stallion Pegasus laying on the tree, shivering violently. Compassion overcomes fear and Scootaloo, having a momentary brain wave, folds the shirt to make a pillow sort of thing, places it a few centimetres away from him, where his head would land if he fell, then jumps up, with a little boost from her wings like he had done before, and land just above his head. Giving it a little tap, this strange new pony's head, followed by his body, falls over…into the pillow that Scootaloo had very smartly in the right place, but doesn't wake up. She then goes about rearranging him in the middle of the platform she had been sleeping on, laid the blanket/shirt on top of him and ended up laying on the tree like he had been before, and fell asleep with a smile on her tiny face at her accomplishment and kindness.

'while it was a kind gesture, he needs to wake up to help!'

Mental argued

'our kindness will mean nothing if…if she…you know'

"what? Whats going on?"

a dazed Rei'V asked

"if she what? And who's she?"

Rei'V gets no response and so he opens his eyes to find the same filly from before, sitting up on the same trunk as before, asleep and shivering like before. Rei'V is only confused for a second, then puts 2+2 together, and quietly gets up. Standing on his hind-hoofs, and holding the shirt in his fore-hoofs, Rei'V tiptoes over to the sleeping filly,

(A/N) tip hooves?

Don't!

(A/N)

and goes to cover her in the shirt/blanket, but unfortunately, he wasn't as light as the little filly and his weight made the tree creak with the extra strain. This then woke up the little filly, and scared Rei'V into throwing the shirt over her, in his attempt to escape. However, just before he flies away, he hears a little voice that says,

"wait! Please don't leave me!"

Stunned from the sudden memories of Tina he turns around, expecting this to be a dream still, but finds just a lump under the shirt he'd just thrown.

'go see if it's alright! You did just throw a shirt over it after it just woke up!' Easy reasoned.

Edging slowly towards the lump, Rei'V gently grabed the end of the shirt in his mouth and lifted in up enough so he could see the filly, but leaving it covered enough for it to still be warmed up. But what he say just simply melted his heart. The little orange filly, sitting up like a little puppy dog her purple hair brushed back into a few spikes, looking up at him with big, round, confused and happy eyes.

'D'awwwwwww, a Puppy!' Mental purred with a happy glint in his invisible eyes.

"what are you doing here? How did you find me? Are you from the orphanage? Are you here to take me back? I don't want to go back! I'm happy here! You can't take me…!"

The little filly shot quest after question after question! Without even giving Rei'V a chance to answer any until he put his hoof over her mouth, to halt the assault of questions, then he began to answer them.

"Ok, in order, my name is Rei'V, I walked into the tree and I noticed it was shaking from your shivering, no I'm not from an orphanage, and no I'm not here to take you back. But if you really are happy here, why are you living in a tree, without a blanket or something to keep you warm on nights like these?" He questioned,

There was a long pause, in which even his conssions were silent. Finally she answered,

"I'm happy here because I have friends, unlike in the orphanage, where even the youngest of Pegasus can fly. I was bullied because of not being able to properly fly, or even hover! When I arrived here I made friends, went to school, and even found an idol to look up to. Rainbow Dash! The best flyer in Equestria! Someday I want to be just like her! And I thought that if I stayed here, one day she'd notice me and teach me to fly!"

Rei'V was stunned, a bit confused as well, but he listened to her explanation. He thought on this for a while, and then finally ask another question that he needed to know.

"What's your name little filly?"

"Scootaloo! At your service Mr Rei'V, and I wanted to ask you something, why are you in my tree?" the filly named Scootaloo answered and asked with a sudden expression change from sad, to happy and jumpy, with a slight tomboyish attitude.

"well it's a pleasure to meet you Scootaloo, and as I said before, I saw the tree shaking, jumped up, saw you shivering and laid my shi…I mean blanket on you to warm you up because you seemed cold. And then a whole bunch of stuff happened and now we're here talking."

Rei'V replied with a hint of humour in his voice.

Scootaloo began to shiver again, so Rei'V moved over to her, and before she could protest, picked her up and gently laid her down in the middle of the platform again. Scootaloo was so tired she fell asleep instantly, and began to softly snore, all while still in my fore hoofs and wrapped in the shirt.

'IT'S SO FLUFFY!' Mental yelled, only gaining blank stares from us.

'What? To soon?'

"What's the appropriate amount of time for that joke to be ok?"

'awww whatever you dirty rotten blue.'

"NO! how dare you use RvB quotes without even watching the show!"

but before Mental could even reply a soft chuckle sounded. Looking down, we all saw scoots with a large smile on her face.

"you five are funny! I could listen to you…*yawn*…all night long!"

what she said, cut me to the core. She had said you five

'shit can she see us? If she ca see us then she can…' Mental asked reading my thoughts

'If she can then she can hear us too…and you just swore in front of a child!' Bend concluded looking with daggers into Mental, who had moved to be hidden behind Rei'V's head.

Of course I can hear you and see you! Couldn't anyone else in your other world?

Ok! Now she is blowing my mind!

"how did you know about…?" I began only to be interrupted by Preach.

'No! DON'T!' but it was to late.

"…about me being from another world?"

"easy, you just told me" She answered with the cutest and most deceptive smirk I've ever seen.

'that was smart…and very cute…don't look at me like that! You were thinking it to!' Easy was saying, while we looked at him in disbelief. I had just noticed this, he was an exact copy of me, only smaller and partially transparent, in fact! They all were! This was all to much to comprehend!

I felt my head start to spin and my feet give way to me as I fell back into a slumber induced by both sleepiness, and mind overload, with a now peaceful Scootaloo laying on top of me.

Word:

Vuvuzela.
