I walked slowly out of the Everfree, and draped my hood low over my face. The moon was out now, and most of the lights in the town were out, except a small one that I presumed to be the library.

'She's always up late with her studying' I thought chuckling. I started to think about where I would be heading first, and Tein gave her input.

Why not go pick up that cute filly Marrisa that you had told me about? Her voice sounded in my head.

I thought back 'Well the main problem is, she's staying with a pony named Fluttershy at the moment, and I don't know where she is. I told her to stay with one of her friends until I told her that she could go back, but I don't know which friend she's staying with' The spirit just responded with a quite oh.

I looked up at the starry sky and saw a crescent moon, "ah well at least Luna has recovered enough that she was able to raise the moon again." I said to no one in particular.

"I must agree with you on that, it took her a while to recover, but by the time it was needed, she thought she was ready" I heard a calm voice from behind me, a voice that I had heard many times.

I didn't turn to look behind me, I just continued to stare up at the sky, knowing that the solar Princess was behind me.

"That's good to hear, so how've things been since I went in to 'defeat all the evil in the forest'" I said, waving my hooves sarcastically.

The princess came over and sat down next to me, "Not bad, most of the ponies thought you died a month ago when the castle collapsed, so they held a funeral session" she said looking at me, "Luna was, like I said, very saddened when she heard, and she attended the funeral."

I looked at her through the corner of my eye and started to laugh. "Let me guess, she was the only one attending the funeral of a crazed pony who got himself killed?" I said, with a wide smile on my face.

"No, actually I was surprised how many showed up. You saved many ponies that day, and more were still pouring out of the Everfree. The reason I was here, was to check if there had been any stragglers, and that's when you wandered out." Celestia said.

I looked away from her and back up to the stars, making a slight "hm"sound. A star flashed and shot across the sky, and I chuckled. "A shooting star, better make a wish Celestia" I said getting up. She looked at me oddly, but I ignored her and just started to walk away. "Oh, I forgot to ask, is Fluttershy still staying with one of her friends, or did she move back to her cottage?" I said over my shoulder.

The princess still had a confused look on her face, but recovered "She's still over at Twilight's house. I told her she could've moved back to her cottage, but she said something about you telling her not to" She said, so I changed my direction towards the town, without another word.

That was cold of you. Tein said into my mind. "Well you don't know the whole story, I think you might be just as cold if you had been put into an asylum for almost three years" I said, and she grew quite, "I'll tell you what happened later"

As I grew closer to the town, I noticed that it had grown considerably. Many more houses reaching out almost to the old 'welcome' sign that marked the outskirts of the town.

"how much progress that can be made in such small amount of time" I said walking past a rather large house on my way to the library.

It did not take me long to get to the library seeing as how it was the only place with any light on. As I approached the tree house, I noticed that the lights went off, so I hesitated at the door.

What're you doing, knock on the door. I heard Tein's voice in my head.

I stopped in front of the door and knocked lightly, hoping not to piss off the residents in my head. A rather frizzled Twilight answered the door with her horn glowing for light, she looked as though she was just about to get into bed.

"Yes, what do you need?" She said with drooping tired eyes. I smiled to myself seeing as how she didn't recognize me.

"Oh, is Miss Fluttershy here? I am here to pick up my daughter" I said removing my hood.

Twilight just looked at me for a second with a blank stare, but then her eyes widened with recognition. She turned her head behind the door and yelled "Fluttershy! Someone's at the door to talk to you!"

I heard a slight groan, and the clomping of hooves on Twilight's wooden floor as the pegasus approached. Twilight stepped back so that her friend could see me.

She looked like she had just gotten up from a nice dream, and had the same drooping eyes as her unicorn friend. She yawned a bit "Yes? What can I help you wi-" She cut off mid sentence as she recognized me. She fell back onto her flank, and almost screamed at me "You're Dead!"

I thought for a moment and poked myself in the chest with a hoof, then looked back up at her. "I don't feel dead." I said with a slight smile on my face.

I immidiatly heard soft clopping on the floor again and Marrisa jumped clear over Fluttershy and through the doorway shouting "Daddn!"at the top of her voice. I grabbed her out of the air and caught her in a big hug "Hello Marrisa" I said, trying to fight back tears, and failing miserably.

I loosened my grip and looked her in the eyes. She had grown a lot since I left, and her horn had started to come in just like her wings. "You didn't get into too much trouble while I was gone, now did you?" I said raising an eyebrow. She put a hoof up to her mouth and nodded with a goofy smile on her face.

I looked back at Fluttershy and smiled, even though she was still cowering on the floor away from me. "Thank you for taking care of my filly, Miss Fluttershy, and you're cottage should be safe to go to seeing as how the problem with the shades has been dealt with." I said, causing a shiver from Twilight.

I put the filly on my back, wrapping her up in a set of my wings, I started to walk away. I heard a small "Wait" from behind me so I turned my head and smiled. "Yes ma'm? Is there a problem?" I asked.

Marrisa started to squirm a bit so I took my wings away and she flew over to Fluttershy and wrapped her hooves around her.

I felt a sharp stab in my heart when I saw this, but the filly turned around and waved for me to come closer. As I approached she pulled one of Fluttershy's hooves up and one of mine when I stopped in front of her, she then proceeded to put the hooves together. I looked down questioningly at the hooves, and then up at Fluttershy's face, she was blushing a deep red and I realized what Marrisa meant.

Quickly, I pulled away my hoof and backed up, "I suppose, I should be going now then, if you're not coming" I said looking down at the filly.

She frowned and pointed at Fluttershy and back at me.

I just sighed. "no" I said flatly. I looked up at the shy mare and smiled nervously, "Sorry about bothering you at this time, in this case, Miss Fluttershy. I hope you raise her well" I said as my voice started to crack, she looked up with a surprised look on her face, but I had turned away.

"Not that, you're not attractive, but I'm just one of the type of guys who was made to be alone." I said, as I started to walk away. I heard a bit of an angry yell from Marrisa, but I ignored it and teleported away to somewhere I could be alone.

"So... What should I do now?" I said laying down in a large field, I had found on the other side of the Everfree.

Go back and apologies to Marrisa and Fluttershy. Tein said, she had been saying the same thing for almost an hour now.

"Why? What I said was true, I was made to be alone." I said out loud.

Then feel loneliness The spirit said before, an odd sensation began in my head. It didn't hurt, but it felt like someone was pulling on my head.

"Wha?" I managed to blurt out before the second presence in my head disappeared. I sighed quietly to myself.

"Why do I always mess things up?" I questioned the stars.
