Hey guys, it's me again. Here's chapter eleven, blah, blah, blah you know the rest. Nothing happened over the course of the few days I uploaded the last chapter so here it is. Enjoy.

Nick's Point of View:

After our early morning wake up call, courtesy of Twilight and her levitation magic, the seven of us made our way to the breakfast hall. We all took our seats as a side door swung open with a half a dozen ponies consisting of Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth ponies scrambling around the long table, placing: dishes, silverware, and glasses to the sides of every one of us. Within seconds of arriving the group vanished through the now swinging side door. Everyone's reaction to the group was different: Isaac and Jeremy had their eyes wide with awe, Fluttershy was cowering with her eyes peeking from beneath the tablecloth, and Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Twilight, and I all just sat there with blank expressions as if we've seen it a thousand times.

In front of us were eggs, toast, and a glass of what looked like orange juice. As I looked to my left I saw Luna gracefully pick up her fork with a sky blue glow that covered it. To my right I saw Isaac with a very irritated look in his eyes.

"Dude, are you ok?" I asked as I leaned in towards him.

"Where's the fucking meat?" Isaac said in an annoyed tone.

"What?"

"I said 'where's the fucking meat?'"

"Are you kidding me? They're ponies, they don't eat meat." I said frantically trying to end the conversation.

We must have been talking louder than both of us expected because Celestia looked up from her plate and towards us.

"Nick's right, Isaac, we are all herbivores here. I apologize that we cannot serve you your preferred meal but this is the best we can do for you and your friends." Celestia said as she returned her gaze to her half finished plate.

With a slump in his chair Isaac knew he was in defeat and went to eating his already cold meal. For the rest of the breakfast everything was uneventful save for the fact Fluttershy jumped under the table when Jeremy dropped his knife.

Breakfast ended and the servants took the dishes back through the side door. We all stood up out of our chairs and walked down the halls back to the throne room.

Inside the throne room Twilight, Celestia, and Luna all stood in a small circle talking amongst them selves with Fluttershy standing silently outside of the group. Isaac, Jeremy, and I were a few feet away in our own somewhat of a huddle. Talking about what happened to the each of us last night.

"Wait, wait, wait, did you say that you made out with Luna?!" Jeremy asked in a hushed tone, trying to keep our conversation just between us.

With me being the center of attention between the three of us I quickly regretted mentioning the topic at all. Jeremy continued to ask questions while Isaac stood to the side with wide eyes. Jeremy was out almost out of breath when Isaac interjected.

"Jeremy, calm down. Ok, Nick, did you really kiss Luna?"

"Yes."

"Well there you go. But dude, you can't just drop a bomb like that on us. Next time think how you're going to say something."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"What do you mean 'next time'?" Jeremy asked frantically as he regained his breathing.

"Dammit dude, we all know it could be anyone of us saying it next time, don't argue with me."

Jeremy was about to say something but Isaac leaned in towards him with a look of hate, cracking his knuckles, trying to prove his point. It obviously worked with Jeremy quickly closing his mouth and remaining quiet for the next few minutes. The rest of the time Isaac and I talked about what happened to him. We just finished our conversation when the group with the two princesses dispersed and Celestia began to speak up.

Celestia's Point of View:

The conversation between my sister, Twilight, and I began to die down to an end. Once it ended completely the three of us turned around to see the three males bickering about who knows what. I stepped forward towards them and began to speak.

"I regret to inform you all that my sister, Luna, and I have to attend to our royal duties and that I advise you to return to Ponyville, your friends must be worried about you after all."

I looked to see Nick and his friends give an affirmative nod, Twilight responded with 'yes, princess, Fluttershy managed to get out a silent whisper, and as I looked to Luna her eyes fell to the ground as she let out a deep sigh.

"Twilight, would you care to do the honors?"

"Actually, Princess, I think you should do it. I didn't get much sleep last night and I wouldn't want us to be teleported to the Everfree Forest like last time." Twilight said, giving a nervous chuckle to ease her embarrassment.

"You're right. Alright, everpony gather around and I'll start the spell."

They all stood in a small group as I closed my eyes and focused on Ponyville, more specifically Twilight's home. With my eyes shut now my horn began to glow the usual golden color, a flash of light filled the room then quickly faded out to reveal that they were now gone.

"Well sister, shall we go?" Luna said with a sigh.

"I suppose. And Luna, one thing,"

"What would that be, Tia?"

"I'm glad Nick was the one to meet you last night."

"W-what do you mean?" Luna frenetically asked.

"I know about you and Nick last night. I was going to go to your room but it appears Nick got to you first. I think it was best that he was the one to talk to you."

Luna was now flustered to no extent, sputtering out nonsense as her eyes darted across the room.

"Now Luna, you don't have to keep any secrets from me, I know what happened and I'm glad you found somepony to help you in your time of despair. So, shall we proceed to our duties?"

"I think that's a good idea."

I couldn't help myself but I decided to make one more comment as we were walking down the hall.

"Oh, Luna?"

"Yes?"

"Was Nick a good kisser?" I jokingly asked.

Luna's eyes widened as her face flushed with red. Once again she went into a hysterical fit, rambling about gibberish. I on the other hand tried to suppress laugh with the exception of a few giggles slipping out.

Nick's Point of View:

I opened my eyes to see we were all back in Twilight's house. As everyone adjusted to the light we heard footsteps coming down the stairs. To our right was the familiar small purple dragon walking down the stairs. Since Isaac and Jeremy haven't met Spike yet they naturally freaked out, each in their own way. Isaac looked at Spike in confusion while Jeremy seemed fascinated by him.

"Hey guys, thanks for ditching me yesterday." Spike said seeming rather annoyed.

"Sorry about that, Spike. We had to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna because of an emergency. Anyways, this is Isaac," Twilight said, motioning towards Isaac and then motioning to Jeremy. "And this is Jeremy."

Spike walked up to the two of them with a large grin, he extended his hand towards Jeremy, offering a handshake.

"Hey, Jeremy, the name's Spike."

Jeremy shook his hand still in awe at the sight of a talking dragon.

"You're a dragon, that's amazing. Can you breathe fire?"

With a cocky grin, Spike turned his head and exhaled a small amount of fire, it wasn't a lot, as a matter of fact it was sort of pitiful but Jeremy was ecstatic.

"Of course I can, I'm a dragon aren't I?" Spike said as he turned towards Isaac, still having his grin plastered on his face.

"I'm guessing you're Isaac."

"Yeah that's me."

"Glad to meet you."

"Uh yea, you too." Isaac said in a displeasing tone.

After an awkward silence, Twilight recommended that we have a day to relax and that the pond by Sweet Apple Acres was a perfect place to go. We all agreed and walked out the door to be met by the incredibly bright light. Each of us squinted our eyes as we walked down the cobble path.

While walking towards Applejack's farm we spotted a familiar cyan mare lazily drifting off to sleep on a cloud, I was the first to notice and had thought of something to get her attention. As we walked directly under the cloud I stopped underneath while everyone else continued. Jeremy turned around and saw I was a bit behind, with Jeremy stopped everyone turned to see both of us left behind.

"Nick, what are you doing?" Jeremy said, waiting for me to catch up.

"Just give me a second." I said as I took a deep breath and at the top of my lungs I barked towards the sky. "Hey, Rainbow Dash, wake up!"

As my voice blasted to the clouds, Rainbow Dash jumped quite literally sky high. The angered mare descended slowly to the ground with an irritated look on her face. Glaring at me, she walked towards me as the others came back to where I was.

"Nick, is everything ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine, Twilight, I just gave Rainbow Dash a good scare. Anyways, want you go swimming with us?"

"Yeah, sure thing, I wasn't doing anything anyway."

"Great, let's go?"

Once again we all continued to walk down the road to the farm. After a few minutes we could see Pinkie Pie sitting on a bench bouncing up and down excitedly.

"Hey, Pinkie Pie, want to go-"

Before Twilight could finish her sentence Pinkie Pie rushed up to her while hopping around the group.

"Go swimming? Ok, let's go, I could bring my beachball, umbrella, some snacks, or my party cannon. It's not a party without it."

"No, Pinkie, you won't need to bring anything."

"Okie dokie."

Walking down the road I remembered someone we forgot.

"Um, guys, I think we forgot someone."

The group looked around trying to figure out what I meant until.

"Oh yeah, we almost forgot to get Rarity. I'll go get her; we'll meet you at the pond." Rainbow Dash said as she flew off to Rarity's boutique.

Everything was now sorted out and we made our way down to Applejack's to pick her up. As we neared her house a loud crack could be heard in the orchard of trees. Soon after, an orange mare came marching down the trail with two bags of apples over her back. We all have and said hello as Applejack heaved the apples down on the ground next to a pair of wooden buckets.

"Well howdy, y'all, what cha all doin' here?"

"We were thinking of going to the pond. Want to tag along?" I said.

"Of course I can, I needed a break anyways."

"Well what are we waiting for, let's go!" Jeremy cheered as we all followed with our own cheer.

When we finally got to the pond we saw Rainbow Dash and Rarity already there, relaxing in the sun.

"Looks like you beat us."

"Well we could've met up with you but somepony had to pick out a bathing suit."

"Is it wrong for a young mare to look gorgeous?" Rarity argued with a quick flip of her mane.

"Now that we're all here I say lets go swimming!" Jeremy yelled. With that the three of us men dashed to the water, took of our shirt, and jumped in.

As the next few hours past we spent the time swimming, tanning, having fun, and just hanging out. With the night promptly coming upon us everyone all swam to shore.

"Hey, guys, I forgot to ask you this. Where are you going to stay?"

"Shit, you're right, Nick."

"Aw man, this is going to suck."

The three of us stood there for awhile, trying to think of a solution. Twilight walked up to us and stood there a little confused, we all told her about our predicament and she asked the others what to do.

"W-well, Isaac, y-you can come stay at my house. T-that is if you don't mind?" Fluttershy squeaked out as she hid behind her mane.

"Really, Fluttershy, you'd do that for me? Thanks, you're the best."

"Jeremy, darling, would you like to stay with me?"

"You mean it, Rarity? Wow, thank you so much."

"It's nothing really, darling."

With everyone designated a place to stay we parted our separate ways and left for the night.

Fractured Monocle's Point of View:

Discord, Shadow, and I all sat on the floor of Shadow's duplex with a tarp in the center of us. Backpacks spilled out over the plastic blue sheet containing: cell phones, a knife, a pair of sunglasses, a few packs of gum, books, and keys.

When we all returned to Discord's the day before he told us to go home and bring everything we thought was useful to Shadow's. We all met here at around 1 pm and began to sort through the contents.

"What have the two of you brought?" I asked.

"I brought knives." Shadow said with a smug grin as he crossed his arms triumphantly.

"Of course, you of all would bring the most juvenile thing here. Did you find anything else, perhaps something that we could use?"

With a devilish grin Shadow reached to the middle of the scattered items and took a small ring with a single silver key attached to it. The look in his eyes was all I needed to know he was up to something.

"See that thing out back?" He asked as his thumb jerked out towards the window facing his back. "This is the key to it."

Discord and I both stood on our knees as we peered over the sill, there on a path of gravel was a large box like object, it had four wheels and a pane of glass on the front. From research I believed it was called an automobile or car.

With a smug grin Shadow twirled the key around his finger and said: "So what do ya say, want to-"

"I'm quite sure you have no clue how it works so I'm going to deny you on your offer, right now we have to prioritize what we're doing right now." Making sure he knew I was serious I snatched the key from his hand and put it in my pocket.

"Fuck you." He mumbled as he folded his arms across his chest.

With that we continued on sorting through what we had, each of us finding something from the pile that we thought we could use I the future, needless to say it wasn't a very productive hour.

Everyone was getting bored of just sitting around so Discord gave the idea that we check out the thing Shadow was talking of before. Knowing what was bound to happen I pleaded to not, unfortunately they didn't listen to me.

We walked out the door and around the house to see the car: it was pure black with tinted windows of the same color; silver metal casing surrounded the lower part which added to the affect that it resembled a monster.

Our jaws hung low as we approached the beast. In my mind I wondered how a small key could start this. I reached in my pocket and took out the key with my index and thumb. Still curious on how it works Shadow crept up behind me and stole the key; he quickly ran up to the car and swung the door open.

His eyes widened as he marveled over the glimmering interior with Discord and I approaching behind. The two of us both got inside the car, Discord took the other front seat and I sat in the back.

"You ready for this?" Shadow asked trying to get us pumped.

"Hardly."

With my uninterested response going unnoticed Shadow put in the key and turned it, the car started up with a vicious roar. All eyes widened as Shadow slammed a foot down on the floor and we sped off down the alley.

Each turn we came across shadow spun the wheel and veered a different way. Left, right, and left again we raced down streets, sometimes swerving to avoid other cars. Shadow shouted in thrill like he found a sack of bits on the road, Discord sat there with a large smile stretched over his face that contemplated if it would stay that way, and as for me I was seated wide eyed in horror with my fingers clutching the front seat.

"When did you ever learn to do a thing like this?!" I yelled in panic over the car's howl.

"Who said I learned anything, its instincts and adrenaline."

Oh this is just wonderful, now we're for sure to die. I thought to myself as we continued down the road. Unluckily Shadow, being the stallion that he is, looked away for a second and when he looked back a car started to back up into our path. The car lurched forward as we braked before impact, to our luck we didn't hit the other car but the three of us were thrown forward. Three simultaneous dull thuds were heard as we smashed to the thing in front of us: Discord jammed both of his legs as he sprawled out over his seat, Shadow flew to the wheel and was draped over it, and I struck the back of Shadow's seat with my chest and head ricocheted back.

As Shadow snapped out of his daze his eyes narrowed as he leaned out the window and yelled: "Fuck you, asshole!" Still infuriated, Shadow slumped in his seat and mumbled to himself about the other driver suffering. When the commotion settled down Discord noticed a small compartment in front of his seat that was now open. Inside was an intricate silver device with a wooden handle; Shadow stared in puzzlement at it as he cautiously grabbed it by the handle. He picked it up and turned it around, inspecting it thoroughly.

"Hey, Fractured, what's this?" He asked.

I quickly skimmed through the pages looking for anything that resembled what Shadow had. Pages flipped rapidly as my eyes scanned the writing and pictures I had scribbled in earlier. Finally, on picture caught my eye and I ceased looking, the title above was written in red. "It's called a gun, a revolver to be exact. The gun is a weapon used by igniting black power and propelling a small mass of metal at high speeds." I read aloud as a messily written sentenced stopped me from reading any further. My eyes strained to understand what I wrote as I carefully tried to read aloud the rest.

"Well, what else does it say?" Shadow asked, now entirely eager to test it out.

"I think it says 'don't give one to Shadow Flare, ever.'"

"What's that suppose to mean!?" Shadow retorted.

"You know exactly what it means."

"Even I agree with that." Discord said, finally injecting himself in the conversation.

"Too late, I'm keeping it anyways. Now let's get back."

With our little argument over, Shadow, once again, slammed on the pedal and sped towards his duplex. The sun shined a fiery orange over the tops of trees as it drooped down to the horizon; through the blinds the three of us sat around the duplex, Discord stretched across the floor, Shadow lying down on the couch, and myself writing in my journal with my back propped up against the wall. Discord and Shadow stared at the television as they clicked through shows playing, each few seconds the screen turning black then lighting up again with figures moving on the screen. I stared at them in bewilderment at the two, observing them doing only one thing, nothing. Their eyes never twitched, their chest never rose for each breath they took, and they never even moved once. As each second passed I wondered more and more if they weren't just hollowed out version of themselves.

I snapped out of my trance as I slowly concentrated on the television plug, my hand just barely began to glow a faint dark silver color as the plug did as well. One quick snap of my wrist and the cord yanked from the wall with a dying sound of the electrical current ceasing. The screen blacked out and the two morons blinked furiously with a confused look.

"Fuck you, Fractured, we were watching that."

"You'll turn into walking corpses if you continue this nonsense. Why don't you make yourself useful and do something, I am quite famished."

A few low mumbles escaped his lips as he turned at headed to the kitchen. Discord quickly looked around to see that Shadow had now disappeared and not thinking twice he snapped his fingers, causing the cord to be plugged back into the wall and the remote to fly into his hand. He continued to watch television as I went back to my journal. I feverishly scribbled with my pen against the paper not taking my eyes off of the page. Minutes passed of pure silence as Shadow leaned into the doorway and yelled for us to 'get in here and eat'. I set down the journal on the table as Discord and I stood up and walked into the kitchen.

With the fourth day now passing as I write this we have made tremendous progress on our task at hand. Some misconceptions contributed by Shadow Flare set us back many a time, although in certain moments he is a blemish to us he still is an asset for us most of his time. Before the day is up I write this last part to remind myself for the future. I plan to steal the gun Shadow possesses while he is unaware; it's the best for all of us, safety wise.
