Hey, guys welcome to the first major upload of the month which will happen on the first of every month! I am for once letting my ADHD out of its restraints which means I will type whatever is on my mind and make up new stories whenever they pop up! so be warned I could post like let's say 10 chapters for one story one month but type none the next month for said story! the only stories that will certainly have chapters every month will be Equestrian Ranger and Derpy Sunrise. Equestrian Ranger because it is a story I am making alongside a friend I would gladly call my brother in all but blood and Derpy Sunrise due to the fact it is a story request by someone I would call a friend as well!

now then at the moment, i am currently unemployed which is why all these chapters were uploaded today because I have had a lot of time on my hands. although I did take a few days from typing to play video games lets get back on track! point being I would just like to remind everyone that I am an IMPROVE WRITER! meaning I barely plan any of my writing besides major events and ideas that just pop up in my head that very same day I am typing up the chapters!

so please bear with me here as I upload chapters every month instead of when I have them finished. since its a new year, and a partially new me, I try to respond to all reviews and all PM's that I get and since in the beginning I despised being flamed I am all for it now as it would help me improve my writing!

there are a few regrets I do have such as the halo & my little pony crossovers on my account as they were a prime time I didn't reign in my ADHD well enough... another reason is the only story I have ever adopted and attempted to continue writing only to utterly fail... the story called Becoming a Wonderbolt. regardless of the follows and dislikes it has I know I have utterly failed just trying to continue the story and if someone doesn't adopt it there is a small chance, and I mean a very small, chance that I will retry continuing it.

well... now that I have all of that off of my chest I got one last thing to say! uploads will start United State's, Oak Harbor, Ohio time at noon exactly every month so you all have a time frame of when I start uploading. I will upload new stories first every time so I can quickly convert any chapters I have over the 50 document limit and prepare them quickly for upload before uploading rewrites and new chapters for current stories. I will try to rewrite all of my My Little Pony stories, except for the ones to do with Halo, so I hope you can all bear with me... i wish you all good luck and know I am on Fanfiction constantly so if you ever need to ask anything don't be afraid to PM me or leave a review although I might be late seeing reviews as I check my emails every couple days which I am trying to turn into a daily thing.

have a good one everyone! LONG LIVE THE HERD!

I watched with Octavia as Canterlot guards were all over the Guard Barracks... taking ponies away in chains as they were convicted if framing Octavia's group. "thank you for helping... Alex. If you didn't come I fear that my career would never happen again." I gave her a nod of my head as Twilight walked over.

"Well you two should be good to go... the lieutenant of the barracks give his condolences for not seeing the bribes his guards were getting." I gave a nod of understanding. "they are still trying to find out who hired them to frame them though."

"would it be possible for us to be let known before they do anything else?" Octavia asked as Twilight nodded. "thank you. Would we be free to go... I must go tell Vinyl the good... and bad... news." Twilight nodded. "thank you for coming to give me support even though it was a farce." Twilight smiled.

"no problem. Ill come by once we have all this sorted out. Have a good day." she began to walk away as I followed Octavia through the now busy streets. Once we got back home Vinyl greeted us.

"so how did it go?" she asked not looking away from the TV that had shows in black and white.

"thankfully Alex came. Or else it would have ended horribly." Octavia started to explain everything that occurred while I casually turned my acoustic guitar. Once Octavia was finished I was finished tuning it and thinking of which song to play.

Once I began playing though they stopped talking as I got caught up in the music I was making. It was a song I made a long time ago when I started my lessons with my grandmother... it was named Heart Restart after I first fell in love. I continued to play the full song as memories poured through my head. When I stopped I could swear I was crying a little as I opened my eyes and saw both Octavia and Vinyl looking at me. Vinyl was filled with excitement and had a smile on her face. Octavia had a look of amazement in her eyes with a face full of awe. I simply put my guitar back to where I once had it "that was amazing!" Vinyl yelled out as jumped slightly hearing her yell. "have you been playing for a while?" I simply gave her a nod. "you should play more often." I gave her a shrug. "I'm serious! Maybe a pony might recommend you for a bar or something. Then your career would jump start. Even if you cant sing bars and restaurants all over are always looking for entertainment." Vinyl jumped off of the couch as I put the guitar back on its stand.

Soon there was a knock on the door as Octavia went over to answer it. "oh hello... how may I help you?" I heard her ask.

"Um... is Alex currently here?" I heard a very familiar voice ask.

"yes, he is," Octavia answered in a flat tone.

"could we see him please." I walked over as Octavia was about to answer. I put a hand on her raised hoof as she stared at me. She soon saw the smile on my face as she nodded. Looking out the door I saw three people I remember from way back then. "hey Alex... been a while hasn't it?" I gave him a nod. "so you really are mute..." I remember these three from waaaaaaay back then. We were a band together when I used to sing and talk. But they moved out of town together and due to money problems I've never been able to move with them. I would have happily moved away with them if I could. "can we come in so we can explain how we are here?" I looked towards Octavia who nodded.

I stepped to the side to allow them to walk in. they walked in as Octavia asked them if they wanted anything to drink. "sorry but we just need to ask a favor of Alex here..." she looked confused as Carl looked at me. "first though I guess we should explain how we got here. Basically, the same way all of you got here." I sweat dropped at how he said it while Harrison smacked him in the back of the head. Harrison then fixed his glasses before he started to explain.

"97 other people along with us were chosen to come to this world. When we came here just today we heard the rumors about you and immediately figured out it was you... and considering that we knew you we just knew that they weren't true. We had an idea though." Carl cut him off.

"We want to do one last show together!" he yelled as I stared at him wide-eyed. I could see Octavia and Vinyl share a glance at each other. "so we were hoping you would be willing to sing one last song... considering we don't know if you are a permanent mute or not." I looked down as I began to ponder their favor. Remembering something my grandmother told me and the event that took place soon after.

"you need to find a way to control your voice once I am gone Alex..." she started as she began breathing heavily. Her weak form lying on the bed. "because once I'm gone you won't be able to control yourself..."

"what do you mean grandma?"

"find my journal... it will explain everything to you... the true Dewain history... not the shit that your mother has been told... just please promise me you'll find the journal..."

"I don't see why-"

"Promise me!" I stayed silent as I nodded.

"I give you my word... Grandma..." she smiled weakly as she slowly moved her arms around her neck and took off her gem and handed it to me.

"know that this will now be yours... do not take it off until you read the journal..." she let go of it as she put her arms over her stomach... before a loud beep of her heart monitor sounded and I began to cry into my hands.

The next memory was me preparing to sing in the music room. As I was about to sing I began to feel very weird... once I began to sing through many strange things began to happen. The very walls, windows, ceiling, and floor began to rumble as I hit the higher pitches of the song I was singing... until they just shattered. Then when I put it down as me just being tired and it being a figment of my imagination I sung again... but this time things appeared and I swore I saw a clone of myself start to appear before I stopped singing...

that was what caused me to just stop singing and to try and find grandma's journal.

"Alex?" I jumped with a start as Octavia put a hoof on my shoulder. I looked around and remembered where I was as I also noticed that Carl, Harrison, and Joseph were no longer here. "they left while you were having a 'rerun' as Carl called it. Said it happened to you during big decisions." I chuckled at how he named my small flashbacks. It happened every so often he gave a name for it.

I never did find her journal... I guess I now never will. "did you make your decision?" I looked up for a few seconds before looking her straight into the eyes... and gave her a nod.

They were my best friends... although I will warn them that strange things might happen as a just in case. She smiled at my answer. "then I guess I'll go get them for you. They wanted me to find them so you could tell them your answer." I nodded as she walked towards the door and left the building. I looked down at my hands as I began to wonder if this was the right decision... considering after the incident of destroying the music room I tried to talk but could only sing... singing that caused more problems than good. Its why I just stopped talking.

Soon Octavia returned as they stood there waiting for an answer with a hopeful look on Carl's face... before I gave him a nod. "yessss!" he yelled as the other two smiled. "but... did I forget to mention that I want to do a whole concert?"

he never saw the guitar coming for his face...
