There was a personal festivity in the Fudo household. It was Atticus's birthday and he was upstairs in his room, still asleep as everybody was preparing for his special day downstairs. Atticus tossed and turned in his bed however and seemed to be having one of his infamous vision dreams. Atticus soon opened his eyes to see he was somewhere else.

"Huh? Where am I?" Atticus asked. He saw darkness at first, but then bright and vibrant colors which took him to what looked like either another planet or another dimension. There was a kingdom with many dark, yet beautiful artifacts. "Whoa! What is this place?" Atticus smiled. "Well whatever this place is called they sure have some unique artifacts."

"You must be Atticus Fudo..." a female voice said.

Atticus looked behind him to see a white-haired woman in a pink gown.

"Who are you?" Atticus asked.

"I am the Sorceress of the Castle Gray Skull," the woman introduced herself. "You may call me 'Teela Na'."

"Um, hello, Teela Na," Atticus said with a bow. "Wait, am I having a vision dream?"

"Yes, you are," Teela Na replied. "This is also one of your many destinies, but it was decided since your birth, your birthright like with Prince Adam and Princess Adora, the twins of King Randor and Queen Marlena. Do any of those names mean anything to you, my child?"

"Um, I think so?" Atticus said, confused.

"I've had visions of the sword myself before," Teela Na said to him. "I found out late last night that it was time for you to go to Etheria with Prince Adam so you can both fight off the Horde."

"Okay, so how will I know when I find him?" Atticus asked.

"He'll arrive as He-Man when you arrive on Eternia." Teela Na said before smirking as she saw him getting excited.

"He-Man?!" Atticus asked.

Teela Na giggled to his excitement.

"Wahoo!" Atticus cheered.

"I take it He-Man rings a bell then?" Teela Na then asked.

"Yeah! I mean, who doesn't know about He-Man?" Atticus smiled.

Teela Na smiled. "Then this should be no problem for you."

"Oh, uh, big thing though, I have a birthday coming up..." Atticus said.

"That's why I'm here," Teela Na said to him. "It was said that for your sixteenth birthday that you would be sent to Etheria with He-Man himself and even with the assistance of Princess She-Ra to fight for the Castle of Gray Skull."

"Awesome!" Atticus smiled.

"Just inform him of this, so then he doesn't think that Skeletor sent you to attack." Teela Na said.

"Oh, you got it," Atticus agreed. "This is the coolest birthday present ever!"

"Ready to wake up?" Teela Na smirked.

"You know it." Atticus smiled.

"Happy Birthday, remember what I taught you..." Teela Na said as her voice faded.


Attiucs sat up in his bed, waking up once that ended and he had an excited smile on his face just as Emily was coming upstairs to wake him up for his special day. "This day is going to be the best." He smiled.

Emily gently knocked on the door. "You awake, dear?"

"Just a minute, Mom." Atticus said as he then decided to get dressed. He soon got dressed a super-speed, not wasting a second.

Emily walked in then. "Happy Birthday."

"Thanks, Mom." Atticus smiled.

Emily hugged her son nice and tight. They soon went downstairs to start off his special day.


Jessica sniffled as she was putting in sixteen candles in the cake, but she kept crying the flames out and had to keep resetting them.

"Jessica, why are you crying?" Patrick asked.

"I just can't believe my little brother is sixteen already..." Jessica blubbered.

Patrick soon conjured up a box of tissues for her. Jessica took them and sniffled.

"Aw, Jessie, it's okay..." Patrick cooed. "We felt the same way when you turned thirteen."

"Y-You did?" Jessica sniffled.

"Of course, you were our little girl," Patrick smiled. "You've grown up so fast, and look at you, getting married soon!"

"So then, it's normal to feel this way?" Jessica asked.

"Well, you're the oldest," Patrick smiled. "And you've been so attached to Atticus when he was a baby before those terrible people took him away from us."

"So, I'll take that as a yes." Jessica said.

"It'll be okay, Jessica." Patrick comforted. "What kind of cake did you make?"

"His favorite." Jessica smiled.

"Chocolate?" Patrick smiled.

"It's all nice and fluffy." Jessica squealed.

"Great." Patrick smiled before he lit all of the birthday candles.

Jessica wiped her eyes and smiled. "Perfect."

"It helps to have magic." Patrick said.

"Yeah, I suppose it does..." Jessica said. "I just never really had much of a use for my own."

"Didn't you always use your magic to clean your room?" Patrick smirked.

Jessica looked bashful. "That's different."

"How is it different?" Patrick smirked.

"Chores, silly!" Jessica giggled.

Patrick shook his head. "Did the same thing when I was your age."

"He's on his way downstairs." Patch informed them.

"Ooh!" Jessica grabbed the cake and went to hide it.

"What should I do?" Casper asked.

"You got your present for Atticus?" Patrick asked.

"Yep." Casper smiled.

"Why don't you wait in the backyard?" Patrick suggested.

Casper nodded and went outside with Jessica.


"I'm serious, Mom; I just know that this day is going to be the best birthday ever." Atticus smiled.

"Well, I'm glad you feel that way and I'm glad we get to spend this one with you." Emily smiled back.

"Same here." Atticus smiled.

Emily hugged him nice and tight. "Happy Birthday, honey, let's go in the backyard, I wanna show you something."

"Okay." Atticus smiled.

Emily smiled back as they then were on their way into the backyard.

'I wonder what she wants to show me?' Atticus thought to himself.

"Come on, Atticus, let's go in the backyard!" Emily said, slightly loud so the others outside would hear her.

'Oh, come on now...' Atticus smirked once he realized what she was doing. He still had to act surprised for their sakes.

Emily walked out and put Atticus up front.

Atticus put his hands in his pockets and everyone jumped out and yelled 'SURPRISE!'. "An early surprise party?" He guessed.

"I told you a surprise party wouldn't work on your son." Cherry said to Emily.

"Had to give it a try." Emily said.

"Happy Birthday, old timer." Jessica chuckled as she hugged Atticus.

"Oh, no, now I feel old." Atticus acted.

"Hey, don't say that," Jessica laughed. "I'm older than you are."

"Yeah, I know." Atticus smirked playfully.

Jessica ruffled up his hair and walked off with a laugh, putting her hand over her stomach slightly. "Ooh..."

"You okay, Sis?" Atticus asked.

"Yeah, I think something just disagreed with me that wasn't chocolate cake." Jessica chuckled anxiously.

"What'd you eat?" Oddball asked.

"I had a quick ham sandwich while I was helping Mom and Dad get ready." Jessica replied. "Must've eaten it too fast."

"Yeah, that must be it." Mo said.

"Anyway, let's party!" Jessica cheered.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered back.


Music then started and everyone started out the party by dancing. And where the party was starting off great without a hitch.

"Too bad Pinkie Pie's not here, she'd have a ball." Mo said as she held a cup of punch.

A portal soon opened up and where the Mane Six and Spike and Starlight Glimmer came out.

"Twily!" Atticus smiled.

"Hi, Atticus," Twilight smiled in her human form. "It's great to be back."

"I knew that there was a party!" Pinkie Pie smiled in her human form.

"Pinkie Sense?" Atticus asked.

The others nodded.

"Typical." Atticus chuckled.

Starlight wobbled as she walked on two legs for the first time. Her hair was up in a high ponytail and she had a violet jacket with a white collared undershirt, a black tie, a black skirt, and black boots.

"Don't worry; you'll get used to it." Twilight said.

"I hope so..." Starlight said. "Erm... Happy Birthday, Atticus."

"Thanks for coming, girls." Atticus smiled.

"We even brought you presents." Pinkie Pie smiled back.

"Aw, you didn't have to." Atticus replied, feeling touched by that.

"It's your birthday; what kind of friends would we be if we didn't come to your birthday party without presents?" Rainbow Dash asked in her human form.

"I still remember my first birthday in Ponyville, it was nice since my past birthdays, Twilight only gave me one present... A book..." Spike sighed.

"Yeah, but then you began to get greedy." Twilight reminded him.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault!" Spike replied.

"I remember in Magic School, we were warned about how dragons can get around treasures and we had to slow a baby down with a giant cookie to bring him back home." Cherry remembered.

"Yeah and where, let's just say, the mother wasn't too happy." Atticus said.

"I'm just thankful she didn't eat me." Cherry replied.

Spike looked rather soft and somber at the mention of dragon families.

"I'm sure you'll find your dragon family someday, Spike." Atticus said.

"I hope so..." Spike pouted.

"Do you remember anything about them?" Patch asked.

"I'm afraid I don't," Spike replied. "Princess Celestia's guards took me when I was just an egg."

"That's so sad." Mo frowned.

"I know..." Spike sighed. "For a while, I thought Twilight was my mother since she hatched me."

"In a way, she is your adoptive mother." Atticus said.

"Though she's more like a sister at times." Spike smirked teasingly up to Twilight.

"It's true." Twilight smirked back.

Spike and Twilight then shared a laugh with each other.

"So, this must be Starlight Glimmer..." Jessica walked up to the newest member of the Mane Six, or rather in this case, Mane Seven.

"That would be me." Starlight replied.

"I guess she's our universe's Sunset Shimmer." Twilight then said about Canterlot High's group.

"Yeah, I guess she is." Atticus smiled.

Starlight smiled bashfully.

"Hey now, you're our friend now, so, how's Sunburst?" Atticus soothed.

"Who said I liked Sunburst?!" Starlight asked before blushing.

"I didn't." Atticus smirked.

"Oh, um, he's fine..." Starlight said then. "He says hi."

"Enough chit chat, let's party!" Pinkie Pie smiled.

Cherry hid under a table. "No Pony Pokey... No Pony Pokey... No Pony Pokey..." Luckily for her, they didn't play the Pony Pokey. "Phew..." The perky goth breathed in relief.


After dancing for a while, it was time for cake. Everybody sang Happy Birthday while Atticus took his seat in front of it and once they finished singing, he made a wish in his head and blew out the candles.

"So, what did you wish for?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I can't tell you," Atticus laughed. "Otherwise it won't come true."

"Unless you know someone with chaotic powers." Discord's voice said.

Atticus looked around, then looked to one of his candles and narrowed his eyes. Discord was pretending to be one candle and he smiled once he was spotted by the boy.

"Discord." Atticus sighed.

"Hello there, Birthday Boy." Discord chuckled as he appeared next to him.

Atticus rolled his eyes, but smiled to the draconequus who was now a friend. "Nice to see you, Discord."

"It's nice to see you too, Atticus," Discord smiled. "Now what is your wish?"

"I'm not telling you, it won't come true." Atticus replied.

"Oh, but I'm one of your birthday candles." Discord smiled innocently.

"And besides, he has chaotic powers, so whatever you wish for, he can grant it with his powers." Patrick said.

"Well, I wished I could meet He-Man." Atticus said, not giving anything about his dream/vision away.

"Of course you did, I'm surprised it wasn't Superman." Cherry said weakly.

"Well then, if that's his wish, then I shall grant it," Discord said as he snapped his fingers on his lion paw and where it sent Atticus to Eternia. "Oops, I meant for He-Man to be sent to us, but instead, my chaotic powers sent him to Eternia."

"DISCORD!" the others yelled out.

"Sorry." Discord smiled sheepishly.

"Now what?" Cherry asked.

"Move the party to Eternia?" Discord smiled nervously.

"That actually sounds reasonable..." Drell commented.

"Yeah." Mo nodded in agreement.

"So, we shall all go to Ethernia..." Drell said before glaring to Cherry. "ALL of us."

"I didn't say anything." Cherry glanced to him.

"Let's find a way to get there because my magic can't get us all the way there." Discord said.

"Leave this to me, I'm a super genius when it comes to magic." Drell replied.

Patrick hid an eye roll.

"Why can't we just get there by spaceship?" Oddball asked.

"Is Ethernia lightyears away?" Cherry asked someone who would know. "If it is, then I agree with Oddball."

Oddball smiled bashfully as someone had agreed to one of her ideas.

"It actually is." Drell said.

"Unfortunately our magic isn't strong enough to go..." Patrick siad.

"Uh, right..." Drell smiled sheepishly.

"Can't we just take a shortcut through Sabrina's closet then?" Mo asked then, remembering how the Supernatural Realm could be accessed through the Spellman family linen closet since it was lightyears away.

"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that," Drell said. "The only way to Eternia is by a spaceship and going into light-speed."

"Oh..." Cherry said.

"Duh!" Drell hit the back of her head.

Patrick narrowed his eyes. "That's my son's best friend you're manhandling..."

"Oh, there's no need to tell Atticus about this!" Drell smiled nervously.

"Thanks, Mr. F." Cherry said to Patrick.

"No problem." Patrick smiled.

"I wonder how Atticus is doing on Eternia?" Mo said.

"I'm sure he's fine," Drell replied, sounding relaxed. "He's a strong kid, though right now, he's probably wondering what the heck just happened?"

"I know that feel." Twilight nodded.
