Dirtfur watched from below. He survived the first frozen bomb because he was out of the radius of the blast. The same could be said about now except birds were frozen in time as well. What was it about this spot that saved him from being a frozen brown pony people would believe worked with pirates.

Brayneck put his hoof on Dirtfur's neck and sighed. "I'm sorry. I did a pretty terrible thing using you as a shield. I guess not being a soldier in the past makes me a chicken now. I won't make any excuses for it, but I'm sorry about it, brother."

"Twilight..."

Dirtfur was blind to Twilight's discreet following of him. Even at an altitude where the air dropped five degrees from being over five thousand feet off the ground, he could see three big and beautiful barriers. There was no doubt one of them belonged to his wife.

"My ship will ensure we can follow those scallywags before they freeze another city."

Dirtfur turned to the parrot captain with the big hat. Around the ship he saw a pink parrot, a parrot who seemed more happy than all the other parrots, and a strong parrot. The ship seemed to be stopped when no one onboard was steering the helm.

"Did they freeze any place you lived?" Dirtfur asked.

She moved her head right and down to her shoulder. When she came up with an answer, her head perked up. "No. I'm only here because of the adventure."

Dirtfur looked down. His poor wife was in a scary place, a crowded area that now felt like a ghost town. Dirtfur may not be the captain of this flying vessel with pirates, but he had to follow what his hearts orders were.

"Descend down. We need to help get all those mares into this ship." Dirtfur said in a deep voice that went down the sky and surfaced in Captain Celaneo's ears.

"Aye Aye. Next time I'll give the orders so you can use pirate tongue."

Dirtfur stood away from the railing so he would be afar but close enough to have something healthy for couples if it is done where the conflict is not turmoil they live with. Twilight got up last behind Princess Celestia and she froze seeing the puppy dog eyes of her husband.

"I try my best to get a hug out of you even when you say you're busy." Dirtfur said. "I want to go on a honeymoon. You said we couldn't because your a princess and your busy. I'm unemployed, I'm not of royal blood or even have a role, and I failed twice to stop a pony from freezing a town. You and I though agreed we would only take things to heart until the end of the day."

"Dirtfur, I think your a brave pony and a loving husband." Twilight said trying her best to smile even though it felt awkward to her. "When that pony attacked you...I saw the same kind of cutie mark on him that is on you, and I know that because I saw it every time I was lagging behind you."

Dirtfur wasn't sure if he should ask more about what the mark looked like or change the subject so he didn't have to imagine someone who was given a Cutie mark could be responsible for all the freezing.

"I have something I need you do do." Captain Celano said. "Put some decorations into a box downstairs."

"Aye Aye." Dirtfur walked away from Twilight. He didn't get far as she trotted after him.

"We need a miracle or a good idea from you." Twilight said. "I know you well enough to know you thought of at least one thing."

If was time for the mysterious pony to escape the ship before that loathsome Dirtfur caught up to him. He asked the captain, a cat like Capper but female and grey with green eyes, to let him down. She refused. He retaliated with the most spine chilling thing he had: song.

"Ghouls are near
Vampires will mesmerize you before pushing you into their castle
Cerberus won't be able to guard you forever...
Hurry and pick your enemy."

He didn't move with a melody in his heart or even moved a bone like the good ponies in Ponysville do. He stood still while a red silhouette of a dragon soared by, his eyes glowing red from the image.

"Aliens are a mystery not a scare
Leaves become boulders when wet
It's asinine how their in space or over our grass
When you get down to it...
This whole world of possibilities gets what it deserves,
It's comeuppance."

More red fog shrouded the ship. The captain, few ponies, one dog,and three cat crewman were trembling as if they were living their worst nightmare. The mystery pony lived its worst nightmare: seeing the ghosts of his past life.

"I'm not insinuating your crew is bad
I can be a very nice and funny guy
The problem is the scariest thing on this crew is your shadows."

The mist turned into solid statues too hard to see with all the dense mist. However, the captain could see it well and it was horrendous. It was a statue of Capper the cat.

"His shadow couldn't handle his transition to Mare Six
All it wanted was to help him pay off his debts
Don't sob over his unfortunate fate
Cats are selfish beings through and through
He thought he could get married later."

The mysterious pony turned around while strutting his legs and causing the fog to turn into something scary, the inside of a cooked pot.

"I'm giving you one last chance
Just a simple order you can't obey for the life of you
This is my stop and I demand to be put down.
Don't hesitate and don't dilly-dally...
Lolligaging is a sight I hate to see
I'm the head of this plan
The one you know is going to obey a demand to freeze towns because...
I came to see him after such a long time and I find myself...
Finding unfettered hatred for him."

The mysterious pony climbed down the ladder to the ground below. He knew none of the crewmates wanted him aboard their ship. His mission was to tell Dirtfur everything.

"Eventide, help your daddy get on that ship." He said.

The mysterious pony was talking to a unicorn. A unicorn the same age as Twilight walked to the mysterious pony. She had a small tear down her right eye but she was smiling for the reasons her father would soon explain to Dirtfur.

Her horn started to glow making the ladders drop down from the ship. The pony patted his daughter on the head before the ladder reached him. And then, he was lifted to the ship and made a great big landing on the ship.

"Let me make one thing clear before you jump: I'm here as a curtesy to one of you ponies."

"It's me isn't it?" Dirtfur asked the mysterious pony.

"What is your name?" The pony asked.

"Dirtfur. I guess I am a member of the Fur family."

The pony walked up to Dirtfur. His hooves pushed into Dirtfur's cheeks. Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Tempest activated their horns while Rainbow Dash flew over the two stallions.

"Your name isn't Dirtfur. It's Gravelfur. Dirtfur and Gravelfur are brothers. I am you but my name is Dirtfur. It's a long story and to spoil it...I'm from another time. Long ago, I was a good pony who was cast out from parents who only wanted to raise one of us. My well being meant nothing to anyone-and the ones who didn't care were my family and the villagers I stayed in, so I kept walking until I met a great place called Ponysville. I played tag, ate delicious pie, and one day I wake up feeling the courage to ask the princess of friendship Twilight Sparkle on a date. I was not living a lie, I was happy and was married to her. In three years we had a daughter named Eventide, word and name meaning end of the day, our hope that the sky reflects what makes us happy and strong."

All the ponies were completely in shock and not sure if they could attack this pony now. The Pirates lead by Captain Celano prepared to attack from the brig, mast, behind the helm, and from behind the door of the captwin courters.

"Do you know why they named me Dirtfur? It's because I was a big truck of dirt on my parents' name. They say Gravelfur got his name from the blood and sweat that helped build our family. They say I'm cursed and in a way they were right. A dragon that lives in a volcano was given energy to fly over the world and burn Ponysville to ashes."

"This guy just likes to talk about fake stuff." Rainbow Dash said.

"Fake? I wasn't talking to you, Rainbow Dash. I know your future but instead I'll just finish you with my daughters help. Eventide."

From the fields below a young unicorn leaped ontop of the ship garnering everyone's attention. She sort of looked like Twilight with her face, nose, and the way her hair looked but the color of her hair and fur were dark black with white speckles and she was a unicorn instead of an alicorn.

She appeared docile until she had a big scary looked on her face and materialized a giant black knife in her horn. She swung the blade at Tempest who was agile enough to backflip away from the blade.
