The next day, I woke up and kissed Twilight's forehead. I did my usual morning routine, and I went to the kitchen. I saw the burnt remains of my microwave and I made myself a mental note to buy a new one. I began to make breakfast for Twilight, Christopher, Celestia, Luna and me.

While I was preparing it, I heard a moan coming from my living room. Considering there was no risk of fire, I left the breakfast and went to see what it was. I saw Luna slowly waking up, probably sore from sleeping on the couch. I also saw Celestia and Christopher hugging each other on the other couch.

"Can I help?"

I came back to the real life. Luna was standing in front of me.

"Can I help?" She asked again.

"Sure." I said, and we headed to the kitchen.


After the breakfast, Cadance and Shining Armor came. We talked about he wedding and family stuff when my residential phone rang. I grabbed it and answered.

"Yeah?"

"So? How was the night, ya lucky bastard?" Jacob's voice asked from the other side of the line.

"What ya mean?"

"I mean, how was the first night as future married couple?"

"So ya know?"

"Rare saw ya yesterday. Apparently, Twi cried of joy, right?"

"Since when do ya use that nick? Ya usually just call her Rarity."

"Nevermind that. We're comin'."

Jacob then hung. I put the phone down, and I explained that Jacob, Nikki and Twilight's friends were coming.


Later that day, we met up with Jacob, Nikki, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. We sat around the picnic table in the park that was in front of the apartment building in which I lived.

"Apparently, Nik's hospital file doesn't match her. She was supposed to have had no surgery, according to her medical file. But they discovered she underwent at least one." Jacob explained.

"And?" Twilight asked.

"The medical record is wrong. It was altered several years ago." Nikki said.

"A file-stealing op, right?" I asked.

Jacob nodded. I got up.

"Who's on the team?" I asked.

Jacob got out a file. He opened it, and there were five pictures inside. Me, Jacob, Applejack, Nikki and Twilight.

"You and your stupid obsession with old spy movies." Nikki said.


After the sunset, Jacob, Nikki, Applejack, Twilight and I went to one of the government's facilities. It was one of the DNA-altering labs, the one in which the 'Perfection' program was held, as well as where the 'Pegasus' program was created and ended.

I flew up to the roof. I was wearing black clothes, a harness and a headset. Jacob, Applejack and Twilight were waiting further down the street in a rented truck with computers and radios. Actually, I think there was all the stuff they had in a similar truck in some of Jacob's favourite spy movies. Nikki snapped her fingers, making me focus.

"Are you ready?" She asked me.

"Ya bet we are!" Jacob said in the radio.

"I was not talking to you, idiot!" Nikki whispered in her own headset.

"Don't mind him. Good luck, Jo. And come back alive." Twilight said over the air.

"Copy. I love ya, Twi." I said over the air.

Nikki then booked the harness to the line. She also hooked a safety line just in case. I took a deep breath, and I went in the building through one of the light pits.

Once I reached the floor, I un-hooked myself from the lines, and I began to move.

"Alright. You're in now. Where does he need ta go?" Jacob asked.

"That's mah job, Jake. Yah need tah turn left in thah next corridor." Applejack said.

"Roger that." I whispered.

When I saw the end of the corridor in which I was, I turned left.

"What next?" I asked over the air.

"Seventh door on yer right." Applejack answered.

I counted the doors. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. When I reached it, I stopped to look around me. I saw nobody, so I tried to open the door. Locked.

"The door's locked." I said over the air.

"No prob. Leave that to the pro of computers." Jacob said.

I then noticed a small pad on the wall just beside the door. It had a red light on. After a few moments, the red light turned green.

"There ya go. I hacked in the system. Ya can open the door now." Jacob said.

I tried to open the door again, and that time, it opened. I went inside. It was a common office with drawers on one wall. I went to a drawer and opened it. I searched through the files, but found nothing. I did the same thing with the same results for every single drawer, except the last one.

I opened the last drawer. I looked at the files it contained until I found something. I took the file out. It was a fairly big file labeled 'Project Pegasus'. I looked back in the drawer where I took the file. The next file was as big as the one for 'Pegasus'. It was labeled 'Project Perfection'. I took it as well.

"SHIT!"

"What's going on, Jake?" Nikki asked over the air.

"My lil' invasion of their system has been discovered. They're sendin' guards your way, Jo. GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!" Jacob answered over the air.

I quickly went for the door, not even bothering to close the drawer nor the door. I heard people shout from behind me, but I didn't care. I reached the corridor from where I came, turned in it, ran as fast as I could, hooked myself to the lines, and wait for Nikki to reel me back up.

Unfortunately, she was not fast enough. Two guards showed up when I was halfway back up. The took their guns and fired. I took my own gun and fired as well. I hit them both, making them fall to the ground. When I was finally back on the roof, two more guards showed up. They fired as well, but Nikki and I had already taken off with everything.

We landed beside the truck. Jacob was already in the driver's seat. Nikki and I climbed in, and Jacob took off before any guards could see the truck.


The next day, we met in my apartment. We were all sitting around the table. I had the two files in front of me. I knew what was inside, but I said nothing about the content of those files.
