After making sure Spike knew what he did wrong he was now cowering in the corner of the bathroom afraid of every single noise being made out here. I was sitting and reading my book once more while Rose just walked around… "Daddy…" does it begin?

"Yes Rose?" I asked looking up from my book.

"I don't… feel so good…" she said walking over. It begins!

"This is what happens from eating too much ice cream. Spike get out of the bathroom!" I yelled hearing no response except for the door opening and then him running upstairs. Quickly ushering her into the bathroom.

Several hours later she was feeling much better after using the bathroom several times. Spike was back to normal against my wishes and was currently making lunch. Rose was playing with the toys we brought for her while I started thinking about tomorrow night… Lightcrest's heat… this is going to end horribly isn't it? "Hey daddy." I turned my head to look at her. "Can you come outside and play with me today?"

"Sure I can. Let's wait till after lunch alright?"

"Yay!"

"Luke! Can you come up here please!" I heard Shadow yell from upstairs while the other three girls walked down the stairs. I set my book to the side after book marking the page. Then I walked up the stairs and entered the upstairs bedroom… Shadow was sitting on Twilights bed looking out of the window that was up there.

"I think I should just leave…" was what I could hear her say.

"Why?" I asked her as I walked up the steps beside her.

"Cause you don't want a broken mare… and I've been broken…" she said still not looking at me as I stood at the other side of the bed.

"Shadow…" I started.

"I've already talked about it with Twilight and Lightcrest and they eventually agreed after arguing with them. I'm returning to Canterlot to be in the day guard positions…"

"I'm not going to be able to talk you out of it am I?"

"This is why I want to ask you to never talk to me when in Canterlot." I clenched my fist.

"Very well… hope you do well Shadow…" I walked down the steps and then down the stairs… the girls looked at me with saddened looks.

"Daddy… what's wrong?" Rose asked as I walked off the final step.

"Just… don't worry Rose." I said crouching down and giving a small smile. "Don't worry."

"Lunch is finished everypony!" we all heard Spike yell as I stood straight back up.

"I'll be back soon… I… need to go onto a walk." Twilight nodded as I put on the jacket that was made for me before we came here… grabbed my sword and connected it to my side… and then left the house.

Rose's POV

"What's wrong with daddy?" I asked Twilight.

"Just some… love problems Rose. You don't need to worry about them…" was her answer as the three of them walked into the dining area. I stared up the stairs before I trotted up them and popped my head into the large open room.

"Shadow?" I saw her head dart towards me with widened eyes as I walked in.

"Rose? What are you doing up here?" she asked as I walked up the steps and then jumped onto the bed.

"Why is daddy sad?" I asked her with a tilt of my head.

"He's sad because… I'm going to be leaving for Canterlot…"

"But why?" I asked her.

"Because I need to Rose. Things happened last night that can't be taken back." She put a hoof around me. "So you won't be seeing me as often as you used to."

"But why?" I asked her as tears started to go into my eyes.

"Rose please don't cry."

"Why are you leaving daddy? I thought you liked daddy!" I jumped out of her grasp.

"Rose…"

"No!"

Luke's POV

Walking through the streets ponies were leaving their house after eating lunch to play in the snow once more. I couldn't help but smile at the happy families. Ponyville was a really peaceful town. Not many bad things happen that twilight couldn't take care of with the rest of our friends. I soon reached the other end of town before I began my journey back… only to spot a rainbow tail in a cloud above me as I smirked. "Hello Rainbow!" her head popped out as she smiled when she saw me.

"Hi Luke!" she jumped off the cloud and landed in front of me. "I didn't know you were here!"

"Well to be honest I didn't want to come in the first place." I said with a groan.

"Why not? Why didn't you want to come see your friends?" she asked annoyed.

"Caused I hate the cold!"

"Then why are you out here?" she asked with a smirk as a saddened look came onto my face.

"Let's just say I was given some bad news about Shadow… news that I wish not to tell."

"I read yeah." She said with a smile. "Hey want to have a snowball fight?" I raised an eyebrow at her. "Come on! Everypony loves snowball fights."

"I hate the cold. I was born in a place of a lot of heat known as California. Cold and heat don't mix!" I said as she laughed.

"Come on… just a few throws?"

"You know my legs Dash."

"So what? You can walk!" she said with a smile. And that's all the complaints I got…

"Fine. So when do you want to have it?" I asked as she smiled.

"How about in an hour so I can gather up some other ponies to play!" she said flying into the air.

"Fine. Rose wants to play in the snow so meet us in front of the library alright?"

"K!" she then flew straight into the air as I frowned a little and put my hands back into my jacket and then begun my journey back to the library.

I could feel your heart break a little in here Luke. Just what happened?

"Shadow believes she's broken and is leaving."

Ouch. For an emotion named Love that's a big hit to us both.

I sighed at his response. "Yeah. I just hope she thinks that she's wrong and will come back."

You were always horrible with Love even when I was made. And I was supposed to make it so you weren't so dense all the time!

I smirked. "Just shows that I can't be changed by one."

Well let's see if you change once another emotion comes into play. So what are you going to do about the snowball fight?

"So you heard that and not the discussion with Shadow?" I said with a smile and slight annoyance in my voice.

Hey! I was fixing up my body again remember?

"Forgot about that. Well at least you can keep it this time right?"

Damn right I better.

I smiled as I passed the town hall. "So any idea for how to unlock our wind magic?"

So far no. but wind is sometimes connected to a wisdom trait from what I'm seeing from past memories. So unlocking it will unlock some form of brain in your head.

"Wow… thanks for the compliment asshole." I stated.

Hey! Just doing my job here! Plus also annoying the hell out of you! In fact we need to start training tonight.

"I can accept that." After about 10 more minutes of talking we soon reached the library as I scraped the snow off my shoes and then walked in. taking off my jacket I heard talking going on upstairs as I sighed. Hearing Shadows voice just broke my heart still. Walking into the dining area I found that only spike was in here eating.

"There you are!" he said.

"Not afraid of me anymore?" he froze.

"I learned my lesson…" he then said plainly.

"Thank you." I sat down and begun to eat my salad. After several minutes of eating he spoke up.

"So what's going on with Shadow?" I froze. "Rose had yelled earlier and had ran downstairs crying and then straight into the basement. Twilight was able to talk her out of there but just what is going on?"

"You know how me, Shadow, Lightcrest, and Twilight are together right?" he nodded. "Shadow… she's leaving to get away from me… she thinks she broken and that I won't accept her. I know I can't argue with her when her mind is made up."

"I wonder why the girls are up there then. She hasn't left yet." This surprised me. "They went up their after Rose ran into the basement after Twilight was able to get her out from down there. They have been up there for like… 10 minutes." I turned around in my chair towards the door. Just what were they doing? "Its probably not important at the moment. Knowing twilight she isn't that good at keeping special secrets." He returned the eating as I turned back around and started to eat my food.

Soon as I finished in walked Twilight with a smile on her face. "Luke…" I turned my head and looked at her. "Shadow wants to see you again." I raised an eyebrow as I stood up with my plate. Put it over to the sink I then walked out of the dining room and then up the stairs. I walked past Lightcrest and Dracul who were both smiling… wait smiling and they were both next to each other?

This has to be good… entering the bedroom Shadow was sitting next to Rose talking to her. "Hi Shadow." She stopped as she looked at me with a neutral face. She got off the bed before she walked down the steps and walked over to me. She then stood in front of me… before she hugged me after several minutes of awkwardness.

"I'm so sorry!" she then yelled as her hug surprised. "I was being selfish…"

"To be honest Shadow I expected you weren't in your right mind." She stared up to me with tear filled eyes. "You were… Raped…" I whispered that word due to me knowing Rose was in the room. "So I know that you aren't feeling alright…"

"I… just don't feel myself after what happened last night…" she let go and took a few steps back. "I just felt so weak after what happened. I was subdued as if I was an average mare. I was weak."

"You are never weak." I crouched down after walking forward a few steps and hugged her. "It must of taken so much willpower to just admit that you were weak." She hugged me back.

"You know I so want to hurt you right now right?"

"Yeah but let's just let the moment last…" I said. "And I want the moment of you admitting something to last for a while…"

"Yay!" immediately I felt an added addition to our hug as Rose snuggled up between us.

"She's the one that put your mind right?" I asked as she giggled between us.

"Yes…" Shadow said.

"Yay!" Rose yelled again as the both of us laughed.

"Just know I won't think any different of you." I said as I let go as Rose continued to giggle her head off.

"And just know I won't stop threatening you at times…" I froze a little as she put a hoof to her mouth to stop herself from smirking.

"And I expected that." She smiled. "Well Rose did you eat already?" she nodded. "Well you know Rainbow Dash?" another nod. "Well I couldn't tell her no to a snowball fight." She started to jump and down in excitement while Shadow looked like she was going to burst from amusement… she knew how much I hated the cold. "So go and get ready Rose." She darted out of the bedroom as I smiled.

"Want some help watching over her?" Shadow asked.

"Knowing Rainbow Dash… she's going to team up with most of the town to get me…" I said with a sigh. This was going to suck greatly… luckily she didn't say if I couldn't use my magic or not. Walking down the stairs the girls saw us as Shadow nodded as their smiles got bigger. Soon meeting up with Rose at the door I opened the door and froze… the entire library was surrounded by a large wall of snow with many ponies holding snowballs… even Applejack was out there.

"Sorry Luke but I wanted revenge for what happened a week ago!" Rainbow Dash yelled with a laugh as I immediately closed the door causing the girls to jump.

"Um Twilight…"

"Yes?" she asked putting down her tea.

"All damages to the library will be paid for by Rainbow Dash." I stated as she looked confused before looking out the window as her eyes widened and jaw dropped. I gave a sigh as I opened the door and allowed Rose and Shadow out so they could get away a little before I walked out and immediately snowballs filled the air.

Knotting my hands together I fueled them with dark magic before slamming them into the snow. Causing the snow to rise in an explosion as most of the snowballs got caught in the flying snow. As most of the snowballs missed me I charged around the eruption. "Get him!" I heard Rainbow yell as I stomped my foot lightly causing giant amount of snow to rise into the air before straightening my right arm and then swinging it forward without bending it.

Sending the large amount of snow towards the wall. "look out!" the ponies dove out of the way in time for the giant snowball to crash straight through the wall creating an opening of escape as I charged straight for the opening. "Don't let him out!"

Luckily… I had wings… that could give me the lift I needed to get over the wall. Pegasus flew in and dropped off snow which blocked the entrance as my wings spread themselves and I jumped giving a single flap of them which barely gave me enough lift to get over the wall but I managed… rolling on the ground as well as putting my wings away to find myself surrounded at all angles by ponies in the air and on the ground.

They were all smiling as they thought they had me trapped as they let snowballs fly straight at me. Using a sweeping maneuver in a circle a shield of light formed around me as the snowballs hit it. Quickly letting the shield drop I stomped my foot once more created this time three large snow balls which I sent flying with a dark magic filled punch on each.

As each one crashed into different ponies they popped their head out with a laugh as more snowballs went flying. Dodging what I could I caught a few from the air and threw them straight at their leader who proceeded to swiftly dodge them as I pointed forwards with my right hands index and middle finger together before bending them and my arm upwards as the shadows under the snow erupted around me to protect me from another barrage of snowballs.

Using that moment I darted out of the circle of ponies as the pain begun to make itself known in my legs. That took longer than usual so I got more endurance up in my legs at least. Hearing an order to come after me I jumped into the air and turned around with the same motion I just used with my right arm I did it again as snow erupted in a massive wall catching quite a few of them in the blast except for many Pegasus and Unicorns that teleported past it.

That was until the pain in my legs caught up with me when I landed that I stayed there sitting. Knowing I was done for I just sat there… as the final barrage of snow was thrown…

Yay! Chapter done and working on the next… the next chapter will most likely be the one with a Lemon or in other words Clop! In it so just a warning. So the chapter is going to be longer than usual! But onto the riddles!
