Chapter 3: Jealously turned to Troubling

On the next day...

Sun rose from the east of Ponyville. Rooster's cocking sounded. At the Rainbow Friendship Kingdom's, its sunlight hits on Twilight's window, lighting and shinning brightly as the stars in the room. It then hits on Nyx's head. She yawned loudly, like having troublesome in sleeping. She slowly got up from her bed. She stretched her legs out, grunted softly. She jumped out of it. She looked around of her surroundings, and found... Nothing...

Must have gone for breakfast or important council meeting to perform. Nyx thought.

Nyx came down the stairs, for the moment. She entered the kitchen. She gasped in shock, seeing a Dark Mystic Pony, sitting on the dinning chair.

Sam waved to Nyx, with his gentle smile, "Morning, lazy pony."

Nyx groaned angrily. She stomped and walked towards Sam, like a stomping elephant. She was about to say...

"Morning Nyx," The gentle voice spoke, shook Nyx up. She turned and found Twilight Sparkle, who brought the daffodil sandwich and pancakes out through her magical levitation. She approached to the dinning table, placing the foods on it. Twilight Sparkle smiled at her daughter. Nyx smiled back. Twilight giggled, "Nice to see you wake up. I was worried that you would wake up late again."

Nyx sighed in annoyance, "Not a problem. Where's daddy?"

Twilight nuzzled Nyx's head gently, answered: "Your father went out with Tao for some discussion. I hope Ben's not angry with this matter from yesterday." Twilight sighed, wanted to know what has happened from yesterday, asked: "Nyxie, what was that argument with Sam all about? It sounded like -" Twilight hesitated, "-you're having problem with Sam."

Nyx mumbled, "That's because he's Dark Mystic Colt."

Twilight sighed in concern, "I had the feeling you might say that..." She approached and gently patted Nyx's mane, answered: "But still, Nyx, you shouldn't blame on Sam because he wasn't involved in the battle with any of our enemies."

Nyx sighed in frustration, "I know, mom. But each time, I see him, I get frustrated and angry at him."

"Now, Nyx, I know how you feel," Twilight said, "But we are not enemies. Try to be friend with him. He maybe belonged to one of our enemies, but he's still a colt. And I need you to do this. Help us to reform him to good pony. Give him the chance."

Nyx thought of the moment, remembering the time when Twilight met her and helped her on the path of goodness, sighed in defeat, "Fine. I promise."

Twilight smiled, nuzzled her head, "That's my girl."

Nyx sat near to Sam since she was sitting close to Twilight Sparkle. She gave a glare and sticking tongue at him, who showed his annoyance. Nyx and Sam continued eating the food as quickly as they can. For a moment, foods eaten up.

Nyx turned to Twilight, "Hey mom, I'll go and help Spike and you in settling some books -!"

"No need, Nyx," Spike's voice spoke. Nyx turned to the entrance, found him coming in. He continued, "Sam helped me out before you came in. I could use some help. Better than Phobos."

"I heard that!" Phobos yelled in anger from his bed.

Nyx gasped in shock, looking at Spike, who nodded his head that everything Sam did was true and real. She groaned angrily. Heard of her groaning, Spike gave the concern looks at her. He sighed in concern.

Twilight took a sip of her tea. She then turned and smiled at Nyx, "Nyx, why don't you bring Sam to Cutie Mark Crusaders. It would be awesome and fun."

Nyx groaned angrily, "Do I had to?"

Twilight sighed, "Nyx, you promise me..."

Nyx looked shock and concern, realize the promise she made with her mother, sighed: "Fine..."

Excited and happy, Sam stood up and whistled out loud: "Alright! Tour for Ponyville!"

Nyx groaned angrily. Spike sighed in concern, worry for Nyx's behavior. She had seen this before, and never like what could happen next when he had this on Owlowiscious, hoping she's not doing something stupid.


Nyx took Sam to the Cutie Mark Crusader's Hideout, having some introduction about Cutie Mark Crusaders works and purposes, the remaining of their members were busy in their work and school stuffs. Cutie Mark Crusaders were pleased and happy with Sam's joining. Nyx became angry and annoyed of it.

Cutie Mark Crusaders: Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Jade Adventure and Nyx took Sam to Ponyville having both tour and explanation to do. Sam looked amazed and happy of it, smiling at it. Nyx glared yet spied suspiciously on Sam, felt, thought and suspected on his enemy's, suspected that he would up to something. Cutie Mark Crusaders continued ventured across the area, they stopped at once, spotted the familiar group in front of them.

Cutie Mark Crusaders took Sam across the Ponyville as they explained about it, its history as well as the ponies do. Sam looked amazed and surprised at it.

Apple Bloom groaned, "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."

Sweetie Belle sighed, "Of all the time, why does it had to be now?!"

"Tell me about it," agreed Scootaloo, "What a rotten of time and luck we had?"

"Tell me about it," Jade said in upset, "So, what's the plan?"

Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other, having some thoughts to deal with the situation. They shrugged. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon approached to Cutie Mark Crusaders, with their evil and cruel smirks of theirs.

"Well, Silver Spoon, if it isn't the blank flanks?" Diamond Tiara asked cruelly. "I wonder what Cutie Marks they're hunting for?"

"Geez," Silver Spoon asked in confuse as she puts her glasses properly on muzzle, "I don't know. Maybe becoming a Dark Mystic Pony?"

Both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed evilly, causing Cutie Mark Crusaders groaned and growled in anger.

"I'd sure wish I could give them a hard flank kick." Jade said angrily.

"You and me both, Heavy," agreed Scootaloo.

Sweetie Belle gasped in shock and concern, "Where's Sam?!"

Heard of what Sweetie Belle had said, Cutie Mark Crusaders looked around of their surroundings, found that Sam... went missing... again...

"I don't believe it," said Apple Bloom, "He tricked us. And we blew it up!"

"I knew it," Nyx said in upset and anger, "I knew Sam's up to no good."

"I thought he liked it. I thought we are best friends" Sweetie Belle said in sadness as tears coming out from her eyes, "We trusted him."

"Never mind about that, we've got some ponies to deal with," said Scootaloo.

"Yeah, you got it." Jade said in agreement.

Cutie Mark Crusaders turned and faced at both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who are coming and approaching at them, with their glee and cruel smile.

"It looks like you let the Dark Mystic get away," Diamond Tiara said cruelly, "You blew it big time. Or is it, you purposely let that prisoner go to get his father to help you out. Nice work, traitors."

"We are not traitor!" Apple Bloom said angrily.

"Yeah, Sam tricked us! How do we know he's actually lied to us and get away." Sweetie Belle said in upset.

"Oh, that's very simple, Sweetie Belle," Silver Spoon said cruelly, "Because blank flanks prove to be stupid and useless. They couldn't take the responsible of one single Dark Mystic. And they blew it this time."

Both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon giggled cruelly. Nyx groaned and growled in anger, refused to stand of ponies who blame her friends or family when it was Dark Mystic Pony who bail and leave them behind.

"Geez," Diamond Tiara said while showing her expression in concern, said: "How on Equestria are we gonna do? This must be it. The end for -!"

"YOU TWO! FREAKS!" The big, scary and loud voice said angrily and cruelly causing young fillies and colts gulped in fear and shock, "IT IS YOU WHO MUST PAY THE PRICE FOR LETTING DARK MYSTIC! YOU ARE THE TRAITORS!"

Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped in fear and worry. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had their eyes widened while pupils shrunk into small balls. They screamed in panicked and fear. Both of them jumped up high and grabbed on the tree's branches tight. Cutie Mark Crusaders looked up and seeing two bullies were in frightened and feared states.

Both bullies and Cutie Mark Crusaders heard the laughing from the familiar colt. They looked down and found Sam, who had his body shaken happily and crazily like there was a joke to make.

"Hold on the minute," asked Apple Bloom, in shock, "That was you?! You make the big scary voice?'

Sam stopped his laughing, wiping tears off from his eyes and got up. He nodded his head, "Yup. I noticed how angry you guys and girls are. So, I decide to scare those bullies off by using my special ability."

"Wait! You had special ability?" Jade Adventure asked in concern, "Strange, why not every one of us are informed by this?"

"Yeah, why?" Nyx asked suspiciously.

Sam looked surprised before he smiled, "That is nothing. That is the easy tspell for Dark Mystic Ponies."

"What would that be?" Nyx asked suspiciously while glaring at Sam.

Before Sam could explain, the shadow loomed over him, he turned his back and encountered the big pony, Maxin Talos, looked unamused and angry. Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped in concern while Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon smirked.

Sam looked at Maxin Talos, showing no fear or concern about him. He whistled in impress, "Cool. A sumo warrior. So who is this gorilla pony?"

"Sumo Warrior?" Maxin asked in surprise, and anger, "Gorilla pony?!"

Diamond Tiara groaned in anger, "Never mind that! Teach that runt a lesson!"

"Yes, Miss Tiara," Maxin said with a grunt. Maxin approached to Sam, with his legs stomped like an elephant, "I shall teach you a lesson."

Cutie Mark Crusaders looked and gasped in great concern and fear while Nyx did not show hers as they watched Sam was about to face Maxin Talos.

Sam smirked, turned to Cutie Mark Crusaders, "You guys want to know how I make the big voice?" Everyone nodded their head. Sam smirked, "See what I make next, gorilla pony. Fear Shape-shift!"

Sam transformed into a familiar pony. Maxin Talos gasped in fear and concern, looking at the big shadow figure while Cutie Mark Crusaders had their mouths opened in shock and surprise.

Sam as Brave Heart smirked, "Boo."

Maxie Talos screamed in fear. He turned and ran away from Sam. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon gasped in shock. They groaned angrily, quickly slide down the tree's trunks and chasing after Maxin Talos. Sam smirked, transforming back to his true self from Brave Heart. Sam chuckled lightly.

Sam turned to his Cutie Mark Crusaders, who looked shock and surprise of the ability. He smirked, "That's my favorite spell: Fear Shape-shift. It allows me to become or imitate the ones that you are scared the most. In fact, they don't call me King of the Pranks for nothing." Sam said proudly. Sam found his new friends remained silent and surprise of the event. He knew what happened, sighed, "I supposed you hate that?"

"Well," Apple Bloom smiled gently as she had hard time to say, "It's actually..."

"AWESOME!" Scootaloo said happily.

"Yeah, with that spells of yours," Jade said happily, "We can keep those brats off our backs for good."

"Yeah, are there any spells you had?" Sweetie Belle asked in excitement.

Sam shook his head quickly, "Wow, easy with that, girls," He said gently before Sam chuckled, "These are just basic tricks, and small fighting skills. Nothing more. But I can show you."

Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled and cheered loudly and happily, surrounded Sam closely. All of them chatted together happily. Nyx looked shock, yet upset and anger at the scene. How could her best friends easily make friends with him?! He was the Dark Mystic Pony!

Sam turned to Nyx, smiled at her gently, raising his hoof in front of her, "Wanna join in?" Responded his offering, Nyx groaned angrily, turned and stomped off. Again, she groaned. Cutie Mark Crusaders looked surprise, shock and concern on her best friend's behavior. Sam looked confuse and worry, turned to her, "What's with that all about?"

The Cutie Mark Crusaders shrugged, not sure of what had happened.

Nyx muttered angrily, "Just because Sam scare Maxin Talos all by himself, doesn't mean I had to like him. Mommy may have ask me to do it, but there is no way he and I are pals. He's the monster!"

While Nyx continued marching out, two ponies have watched the event from the balcony of Ponyville's Town Hall. Both Ben and Tao had watched the event.

"Did you see that, Tao?" Ben asked in concern while pointing at Sam, "Does this look hardly powerful?"

"Yes." Tao answered. Ben looked shocked and worried. He continued, "In fact, what you just saw is nothing but mere basic of Dark Magic and Spell."

"Really? But Sam said -"

"Sam said that he, colts and fillies are forbidden to be recruited in the military until they are teens. But it doesn't mean that they do not possessed the means of defense of themselves. In fact, what you saw is not very dangerous. Fear shape-shift is temporary spell effect on the victims. It is not dangerous. Ben, you should at least give him the chance, not against him."

Ben sighed, "I guess you're right. I'll give him that."

Tao smiled gently as he patted on Ben's back, "That's the son of Princess Celestia, willing to give chance for others."

Tao turned and walked away from the scene. Ben turned and looked at Sam who chatted happily with Cutie Mark Crusaders. Ben narrowed his concern eyes into determined and feared eyes. Ben sighed in concern about trusting Dark Mystic Pony in living among his hometown. Nyx sighed in upset and anger about having Sam in her life of what she knows: having fun with and loving her family and friends.

One thing is certain in their mind, both Ben and Nyx had some trust issues and liking with Sam's staying at Ponyville since he was the Dark Mystic Pony.


On the next day of morning, Ben and Nyx woke up from their beds while showing their distrusted and determined eyes.

Nyx got off from her bed. She headed downstairs, planning to help her family clearing and cleaning the mess of Library. By the time Nyx got down, she gasped in shock and upset. Upon seeing the library is fully clean as the whistle, but the worse for Nyx, seeing Sam nuzzled on Twilight Sparkle's leg. Twilight giggled as she patted on his mane. Sam departed, and looking at Spike and Phobos. Spike patted on Sam's head. Phobos gave the thumbs up to Sam, as well as both Owlowiscious hooting and Koga barking happily. Nyx groaned in anger. Sam smiled at her before passing by.

From the upstairs, Ben had watched everything, having some anger blazing fire in his eyes.

Nyx: First, I thought that Dark Mystics were so really, really evil
A new enemy to have and it seemed to be like a threat
But seeing him makes me angry; everypony is liking him than hating.
He went from Dark, yeah, to enter my very life I know
Everywhere I turn, he's just a step ahead

Ben and Nyx watched and observe on Sam carefully of what he's doing: helping Apple Family in apple bucking the trees as well bringing them drinks, and even helping Granny Smith to walk across the roads. Sam helped Rainbow Dash in training Scootaloo of flapping her wings hard. For the moment, Scootaloo smiled, finally flew up before she slammed on the ground hard. Scootaloo looked upset but Sam gave smiled, speaking comfortly and confidently to her to try and try again. Sam looked annoy, he and Sweetie Belle had to help Rarity to fix her dresses as standout, though he didn't mind doing it.

Nyx and Ben: Sam here, Sam there, what am I gonna do?
Got an intruder on my doorstep
Gotta solve, and deal this problem
Sam here, Sam there, if he's after you
Then, there's an evil lurking everywhere
Be careful of what you do
Sam here, Sam there, he can't be trusted

Sam then helped Pinkie Pie foalsitting on Pound and Pumpkin Cakes, who giggled at Sam's jokes when he made funny faces as well as making up a story for them to smile. Both Sam and Pinkie Pie looked at each other before they gave hooves-up. Sam also then helped Fluttershy in feeding the animals, though some animals kept on running away from him. Sam determined to feed them, even injured himself. Couple of scratches, Fluttershy helped to tend and cure Sam's wounds. Nyx narrowed her anger and jealousy eyes from Sam's back while Ben showed anger and hatred yet concern look on Sam from building's behind.

Ben continued to kept an eye on Sam who is helping Miss Cheerilee in cleaning and clearing the mess out of the classroom. Sam helped out with most of the ponies in dealing with problems such as moving the stuffs to one and another place, helping set the cakes with Cake Family, Sam cleaned the area and houses, and many more. Sam even help Flash polished and cleaned the armors and helmets of Royal Guards before passing to the Princesses' Royal Guards. Sam turned and waved to Ben. Ben quickly teleported and disappeared from sights. Ben looked very concern and worried.

Ben: I can't shake the feeling, I know something's not right
I can't break the promise, but I'll find the evident to prove
Oh, he'll go home soon, and then I'll have some peace again
But for now, I'm keeping an eye on my enemy 'til then
Everywhere I turn, he's just a step ahead.

Sam helped Dragon Kick on setting the Kung Fu gears up for him to practice and for students to learn and trained. Sam helped Mighty Heart in cleaning Tao's home apartment. Maxin Talos sneaked behind of Cutie Mark Crusaders while his client, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon watched the event. Sam was behind of Maxin, made the loud lion's wild and fierce roar at him, causing the bully butler to run away. Sam turned and gave the glaring at two bullies, who yelped in fear before they start running away from him. Cutie Mark Crusaders approached him and gave the high-hoof to him.

Nyx and Ben: Sam here, Sam there, what am I gonna do?
Got an intruder on my doorstep
Gotta solve, and deal this problem
Sam here, Sam there, if he's after you
Then, there's an evil lurking everywhere
Be careful of what you do

Nyx told her family and friends about Sam's doing by claiming he's evil, but they denied it as what they saw him as good pony.

Nyx: Why should I believe in you?

Ben and Tao talked about Sam as the young hero explained of his theory and concerns about Sam. Tao dismissed his concerns as he had seen what Sam is capable of.

Ben: Why are you pretending to be nice?

Ben and Nyx held their heads tight as they all see Sam everywhere and helped their pony friends and family in taking care of their home, situations and messes.

Nyx and Ben: Can't you all see? Can't you all understand?
Isn't it sad this is how it all ends?
Sam here, Sam there, he can't be trusted
Sam here, Sam there, he can't be reformed
Sam here, Sam there, he can't become a good guy.

Ben and Nyx yelled in anger and upset as they stretched themselves out high like they had gone crazy.


At Town Square, Sam made a small joke with his friends about Diamond Tiara being chicken than spoiled brat, Cutie Mark Crusaders laughed and chuckled happily. From the bushes, Nyx groaned in anger as he glared and glanced at his enemies from the small barrel, through the small hole.

"I can't believe it!" Nyx muttered angrily, turning away from the hole, in her darkness, "If this keeps up, mommy, my family, my friends and everypony will like and love him, more than I am. There is no way a Dark Mystic Pony like him can be reform like me. No way!"

"Nyx, are you in there, sis?" The familiar gentle and worry voice asked.

Nyx yelped in shock, upon hearing the familiar voice, she turned and peeked on the hole, upon seeing Spike, looking worry and concern.

Nyx sighed in relief, "Don't scare me, Spike. Seriously, that is annoying."

Spike rolled his eyes, "Yeah, never mind that." He said in concern, "Listen, Nyx, you've been like this, like for days. I am very worry about you, especially when it involved Sam's staying here."

Nyx groaned in anger, "Don't say THAT NAME, right in front of me!"

Spike yelped, "Wow, easy, Nyx. I'm just worry."

"Then, stop worrying about me! Leave me alone! I'm in big bad mood, and don't say another word about Sam."

"I'm just-!"

"Just leave me alone!"

Spike sighed, "Fine," The adopted older brother of Nyx hated her bad and tempered attitude. "But just promise me something. Don't do something stupid, especially when you had jealousy problem in you for Sam. Trust me, the last time I did for Owlowiscious, I got blamed for the mess I've made."

Nyx groaned in anger as she was about to lose her temper. Nyx jumped off from her barrel and screamed in anger at Spike who yelped in concern, "I'M NOT JEALOUS ON SAM, SPIKE!"

Her screaming in anger had caused everyone to yelped and gasped in concern as they turned to Nyx. Spike slapped his face with his claw while sighed in annoyance. Nyx widened her eyes in shock as she realized something. Nyx flapped her wings while she smiled and her face blushed in embarrassment. Nyx giggle uneasily. She quickly flapped her wings hard before disappeared.

"What was that about?" Sam asked in concern.

Cutie Mark Crusaders shrugged.

Behind the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon and Maxin Talos spotted and saw everything in sights. Diamond Tiara smirked evilly as she had plans for her enemies, especially involving both Nyx and Sam.


Nyx continued to mumble and mutter about Sam angrily and upset while walking away from her friends, family and others. Nyx spotted both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in front of her. Nyx gasped. She was about to turned away from two bullies.

"Wait, Nyx!" Diamond Tiara called out as she approached to Nyx from her back, "We just want to talk."

Nyx scoffed, "Yeah, like insulting me and my name."

"No," Silver Spoon said happily, "We just want to talk about Sam."

Nyx groaned, "What're about him? If you like him so much, just go to him now!"

"Yeah, right," Diamond Tiara scoffed, "Like we ever trust and like that monster. We just want to get rid of him."

"Yeah, no one like us likes him more than blank flanks." Silver Spoon agreed.

Nyx looked surprised and shock upon hearing of what two bullies had said, as well as being suspicious on their help. "What's the catch?"

"Nothing than just get him out of our home, that's all. After we dealt with him, we can go back the usual. What do you say, partner?" Diamond Tiara smirked in explaining. Nyx thought for the moment before smiling and nodding her head, "Good... here's how it goes..."

Diamond Tiara explained everything to Nyx of how they deal with Sam. Silver Spoon smirked.


At late afternoon, Ben and Twilight decided to have some break as they were prepared to head off from Golden Oak Library, along with her friends: Mane Five. Twilight turned to Spike, Phobos and Nyx.

"So, you sure you're taking care of him?" Twilight asked.

Spike smirked, "Piece of cake. This is just like taking care of Peewee and the pets."

Twilight rolled her eyes in amusement while smiling at Spike. She then turned to Nyx, said: "I hope you're not doing something stupid."

Nyx scoffed, "Me? Since when did I cause some troubles." She quickly put her hoof over Sam who looked shock and confuse. "Besides, Sam and me are great pals. I would never cause him a trouble since he's a good pony."

Spike widened his eyes in surprise, having suspicious on Nyx's being friendly with Sam.

Twilight giggled, "Okay, Nyx, I believe in you. Besides, your father go crazy enough about having 'problems' of his own. And of course, I wish to discuss with him about something important."

Spike nodded his head. Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Ben headed off from their home. Before the young dragons and ponies could do anything, Nyx stopped Sam from going in, causing Spike to be concern and worry about it.

"Sam," Nyx called. Sam turned to her. She said gently, "Me and Cutie Mark Crusaders got something to show."

"Really?" Sam asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it's gonna be best surprise you ever had." Nyx insisted with her smile.

"And what surprise will that be?" Spike asked suspiciously, not sure of what Nyx's up to.

Nyx rolled her eyes, said a bit of annoyance, "It's a surprise, Spike. It means no spoilers."

Spike sighed in annoyance, knew he can't find out, said: "Okay. Just be careful."

Nyx nodded her head as she took Sam out to somewhere else.

Within the Library of Rainbow Friendship Kingdom, Spike and Phobos dusted off the dust, putting some books back on the shelves and swept and mopped the dirt off the ground. For a while later, the Library was cleaned as the whistle. Spike and Phobos smiled.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Spike and Phobos turned and headed straight for the door. They opened it. They gasped in shock and surprise.

"Apple Bloom? Scootaloo? Sweetie Belle? Jade?" Spike asked in surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Phobos asked in concern, "Aren't you with Nyx and Sam for surprises?"

Four Cutie Mark Crusader members gasped and looked in confuse.

"Huh? Surprises? What surprises?" Apple Bloom asked in confusion.

"We didn't set any surprises for Sam." Jade said in concern.

Scootaloo nodded her head, "Yeah, we're just coming by to see Sam and Nyx."

"Speaking of that," Sweetie Bell said in concern as she looked around, "Where're Sam and Nyx?"

Spike and Phobos looked shock and worry as they looked at each other for realizing of what Nyx is about to do.

Spike gulped in fear and concern, "Oh no..."


For the moment later, Nyx took and brought Sam into deep and dangerous woods: Everfree Forest, heading straight to the big and wild cave-like. Nyx smirked secretly, following exactly of what she and Diamond Tiara had planned...

Nyx smirked, pointed at the cave, "Here we are, Sam."

Sam looked surprise, glanced at the cave. Showing concern and worry, Sam turned and asked Nyx, "So, what's in there?"

"I told you. It's a surprise, just for you."

"Really? Thanks." Sam smiled at Nyx, who showed her fake smile. Sam turned to the cave. "You know... You're not such a bad friend since the day we met. Besides, I hope I didn't make you jealous and upset just because everypony like me."

Nyx looked angered and annoyed by it but calmed herself down, muttered softly and angrily, "Yeah, you're right about one thing."

"Thanks," said Sam, he then turned to Nyx, continued, "Besides, I was hoping that you and I could be best pals or brother and sister. That would be awesome and cool."

Heard of what Sam had said, Nyx looked shock and surprise, questioned, "Pal and Sister to you? Why?"

"Well. First, I don't have much friends, but my mom and dad. Second, you and I maybe not quite good friends because of your jealousy issue," Sam smirked arrogantly, causing Nyx looked annoy. Sam continued, "But for the first time in my life, that you didn't do a bad thing about me, like you believe in me to be reformed. You know, being a Mortal Pony like you, are kinda fun. Besides... I think I kinda like you, sis."

Nyx looked shock and surprise of what Sam had said, "Really?"

Despite of what Sam did with her family and friends, he still consider her a friend as well as being mortal is good. Nyx felt her heart beating like she actually regret of what she had done. Did she actually did the right thing in setting a trap for Sam about this? Was it right? She really hated Sam's taking her family away from her.

Sam nodded his head, "Yeah. Let's go and check this surprise you had in the cave."

Sam was closed in entering the cave...

"Stop!" The familiar voice is heard in their ears. Both Sam and Nyx turned and encountered Spike, Phobos, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Jade are charging right at them. Spike looked upset and angry as he speaks, "Nyx! What are you doing?!"

Nyx gulped, "Well..."

"She's showing me a surprise." Sam explained. "I think this is reward for helping you guys and girls out."

Nyx gulped in worry, causing her friends glared at her.

"NYX!" Phobos asked in anger. "Is this true?!"

Spike slapped his claw on his face, "I thought I told you not to do something stupid!"

"Really?" Apple Bloom said in upset. "Nyx, what were you thinking?!"

"Yeah! How could you do something so stupid like this?!" Sweetie Belle asked in disappointment, "Getting rid of him is not gonna make you good. It's making you bad!"

"They're both right, Nyx." Scootaloo said in concern, "How could you send him to Ursas' home to get rid of him?!"

"WHAT?!" Sam asked in shock. He turned to Nyx, who nodded her head. Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Sam sobbed tearfully and upset, "How could you?! I trust you! I thought you were my friend! I helped you to clean the mess. I helped your family! I helped your friends! I even helped you deal with those bullies. And this is how I get repaid for helping you?!"

Feeling pain and upset of how Sam had said, Nyx sobbed in anger. She shook her head in refusing to let her pride off and let Sam get away with it. Nyx groaned in anger, "SO what?! Not after what you did to everypony I know and love." She said in anger, "You took them away from me! You took my very life I had known in my life! And you are... nothing but thief!"

Spike, Phobos and Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped in shock and upset, and even Sam. Nyx gasped in shock. How could she said that?!

Sam groaned in anger, "So this is how you want to go?! I stole your very life you had known because I'm Dark Mystic Pony and thief?! Well, guess what, Nightmare Brat?! I don't need a friend like you when you had some jealous issues, and couldn't let go of her pride to admit she's wrong to be jealous as well as not asking anyone, and even her own mommy to talk with her! You - are nothing - but SPOILED AND JEALOUS BRAT!"

Nyx groaned in anger and screamed, "I AM NOT!"

Nyx's screaming echoed across the land of Equestria, and even inside the cave.

The blue familiar Ursa Minor opened its eyes wide in anger and upset. Nyx and Sam glared and groaned in anger while others looked concern and worry as they continued to watch their pals glaring. Suddenly, the ground was shaken hard like there's an earthquake coming in as well as the sound of stomping. Everyone turned and saw the big angry Ursa Minor is marching at them.

Everyone gulped in fear and scared. Ursa Minor roared in anger.

"RUN!" Nyx shouted in fear.

Everyone screamed in fear. They quickly ran away at once while the giant Ursa Minor chased the poor fillies and colts.


At Ponyville's Cafe, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Ben have their dinner as well as discussing something important. Ben frowned, having great concern about it. He was not sure of it was great idea or not...

"Girls..." Ben said in concern, "I don't know about it..."

Twilight sighed, "Ben, you had suspicious too much on Sam. He's okay. Besides, he deserve someone to look after him. Unless we find his parents, we should take it. Right, girls?"

"You said it," Applejack said and nodded her head.

"Sam is indeed honest and noble Dark Mystic Pony," Rarity said gently.

"Yeah," Rainbow said confidently, "Not to mention, he inspire Scootaloo."

"Also, he made Pound and Pumpkin Cake smile." Pinkie Pie said happily.

"He even help feeding and taking care of my animals," Fluttershy said happily.

Everyone looked at Ben for his approval. Ben thought for the moment. Ben sighed, hated everyone to be right. Before Ben could say anything, the loud wild roaring is heard. Mane Six and Ben gasped in shock as they know what it was.


Spike, Phobos, Sam and Cutie Mark Crusaders continued running away from the Ursa Minor as fast as they can. For few meters and minutes away, the young ponies and dragons had no hope of outrunning the giant Ursa Minor. They gasped upon seeing something shocking: the wall edge ahead of them. The young ponies and dragons quickly stop, right in front of the mountain.

Spike, Phobos, Sam and Cutie Mark Crusaders gulped in fear as they turned and faced the giant Ursa Minor who snarled and growled at it. The giant bluish star bear roared in anger. The young ponies and dragons covered themselves together.

Before anything could have happen, the harmony music sounded. Both the little ones and big one heard of it. Upon listening to great harmonic and peaceful song, Ursa Minor smiled gently, his body wiggled. Ursa Minor was about to fall like it was about to sleep but got carried by pure purplish magic aura. Spike, Phobos and Cutie Mark Crusaders looked shock and surprise of it as they all recognize the tricks.

The giant water tank appeared in front of the young ponies and dragons. Its top of the water tank placed on the Ursa Minor's mouth as it sucked it gently like a baby drinking its milk. The baby Ursa Minor lifted up and headed straight back to its cave.

The young ponies and dragons sighed in relief from the attacks. They turned and spotted Mane Six and Ben coming and heading to them. Upon arriving at the location, Twilight hugged both Spike and Nyx hard while Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash hugged their sisters. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy sighed of relief. Ben patted on Nyx's head.

"Is everypony alright?" asked Twilight. The young ponies and dragons nodded their heads. She sighed in relief, patting on both Spike's and Nyx's manes, said: "Thank Celestia. But what happen?"

Spike glared at Nyx and said angrily, "Why don't you ask her? Nyx's got some explaining to do."

Twilight looked confuse and worry as she looked at her own daughter. Nyx gulped in worry as Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Jade glared at her for acting like a jerk and getting her pride and jealousy bested her, as well as nearly cost the lives of her very best friends. Sam looked away from Nyx.

Nyx sighed while looking down on the ground. Nyx is in big trouble for doing something stupid, dangerous and regrettable.

Author's Notes:

1) 'Sam here, Sam there' is inspired by 'Babs Seed' (MLP) which is based on Nyx's jealously and Ben's overprotective.

2) The Ursa Minor Spike, Phobos and Cutie Mark Crusaders had encountered is the same monster from 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 1 Episode 6: Boast Booster'
