Thank you Han-Ko for being my fist review of this story! I was feeling a little down because no one reviewed but you made my day! Also I'll try to take your advice to make the chapter's longer, it's just sometimes I'm bad with details (or I'm just lazy, whichever comes first), hope this chapter was worth the wait though! Finally I will be using some headcannons of mine for Is This A Zombie throughout the story, so if there's any detail I got wrong feel free to correct me.

The rain finally stopped and the sun was out, good news for most but bad news for a certain zombie. Ayumu was ducking for trees, rocks and any source of shade he could find. Aw man why can't those pegasi Spike told me about keep the sky cloudy…? Ayumu thought to himself.

"Uh Ayumu, what are you doing?" Spike asked him watching him going through another set of tree's with a confused and somewhat concerned look.

"Oh, sorry Spike. I just really can't be in the sunlight." Ayumu apologized.

"Why?"

"I uh, have a really bad skin allergy, so if I'm in the sun I break out in hives. It's not pretty." Ayumu answered. It wasn't a total lie but he didn't want to explain the whole zombie thing just yet.

"Is that why you were in the water back at the forest?" Ayumu nodded "Oh, you should've said so! Sorry, I don't have anything to protect you from the sun. All I have is this blanket, but it's not big enough to cover you." Spike said pulling out an apple patterned blanket he got from Applejack on his last birthday.

"It's okay kid. You didn't expect me." Ayumu said all sparkly again.

"Well since I have this out already, wanna take a lunch break?" Spike said already setting his blanket on the ground and taking out the sandwiches and cookies, placing them under a shady tree for Ayumu.

"Sure" the older dragon said. Since becoming a zombie Ayumu hasn't felt the sensation of hunger; he can actually go days without eating if he felt like it. He really eats more out of habit (probably a placebo like thing, he thought) and to blend in at school, but he didn't want to turn the baby dragon down on his offer.

Ayumu sat down as Spike cuts a sandwich in half with his claws. "Want half? It's got lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise" Spike asked with a smile and Ayumu nodded a response. As the two ate the ponies were not too far away watching them but remained out of sight.

"Fascinating… I thought all dragons were heat-proof, but I guess not." Twilight said with gears turning in her head already wanting to ask Ayumu everything she could think of. "I feel kinda bad for the guy. I mean he's straight up allergic to the sun, who can live like that?" Rainbow Dash added, sure she still didn't exactly trust Ayumu, but she still felt sorry for him. "I think I have a little solution for his problem." Rarity said looking through her saddle bag and taking out a fabric large enough to cover Ayumu completely. The three ponies all packed saddle bags with a few necessities and food since they don't know how long they'll be gone. They also told the rest of the gang not to follow because there movements would be restricted with a big group and Spike would probably notice them quicker (especially Pinkie Pie).

"Just a little thank you gift for Mr. Aikawa for looking after our little Spikey-Wikey." Rarity said

"But how are we gonna give it to Ayumu without them noticing us?" Rainbow said

Twilight thought this over, then had an idea "Rainbow, fly as quietly as you can to the mountain without those two noticing and turn that fabric into a tent. That way they'll think it's an abandoned camp site and use the fabric"

"Do you think that will work?" Rarity asked

"It's worth a shot. Be right back." Rainbow shrugged and headed towards the clouds to cover her as she flew ahead. Meanwhile down below…

"If you liked the sandwich Ayumu, you should try my world famous chocolate chip cookies!" Spike said as he handed out a plate of cookies.

The zombie dragon took a cookie and as he ate it he had an ecstatic look on his face. "Dude, these are delicious! This is almost Haruna's rolled omelets level good!"

"Haruna… She's one of your roommates right?" Spike asked with a mouth full of cookie

"Yeah… eggs may be the only thing she can cook but those things are like eating happiness." Ayumu said as suddenly adopted a somewhat sad look on his face. Spike noticed this so he tried to recover.

"Don't worry Ayumu. We'll find a way back to your world, I promise." The baby dragon comforted the older one. Ayumu had to smile a little, this kid barely knows him and he was trying to make him feel better. "Thanks, kid. I needed that."

Unbeknownst to the both of them the ponies listening in smiled too.

"So Ayumu, what are your roommates like? I've told you about my friends, now it's your turn." Spike asked curiously. Since Ayumu already told him about his world's magic he didn't have to hide much of his friends' identities so he decided to talk.

"Well my first roommate was Eucliwood Hellscythe or Eu for short. She's a necromancer."

"What's that?"

"She's got magic that deals with death and spirits." Ayumu say nonchalantly (N/A: I think that's what a necromancer is. If I'm wrong please correct me and I'll fix it)

"Sounds scary…"

"Actually she's really nice if you get to know her and she's pretty sensitive about death. Eu's had a pretty rough life before I met her. She's got so much magic that she's forbidden to talk because her words can affect reality and she can't show her emotions either because even a smile can cause a splitting headache so she communicates by writing on a notepad." Ayumu said as he thought about those months Eu ran away from home to protect him, Haruna and Sera from the King of the Night. He never felt more awful in his life and it didn't help when he found out her wish on the Chrismaween Tree to stay with him and the others forever, especially when his wish was "may none of these wishes came true", because all he saw the stupid wishes the others were writing but didn't see the good ones (like Haruna's wish to see snow or Sera's wish to improve her cooking).

Ayumu knew it wasn't his fault Eu ran away, but he still felt guilty. So after the King was defeated on Tokyo Tower he wanted to tell Eu how he felt about her right then and there, but Eu decided to do something he didn't expect: speak. And she even smiled; he didn't say everything he wanted to say to her then because so many emotions were happening at once (Not to mention Haruna literally dropped in unexpectedly and kinda killed the mood), also he didn't ask or cared why she didn't look like she was in pain when she smiled, but it was still the best day of his afterlife. (Seriously, that moment almost made me cry)

"She can't even smile? Wow… that's awful. How did you guys meet?" Spike said breaking Ayumu from his train of thought

"She was sitting alone by convenience store; I kinda started flirting with her and failed miserably. So tried to impress her by break dancing…" Ayumu started to demonstrate by showing off some moves.

"Whoa, sweet moves Ayumu!" Spike said clapping.

"Yeah, it worked now but back then I also failed near the end of it. But Eu seemed to think I was funny so we started to converse with each other. After sometime she moved into my house and I became her guardian, though in all honesty she probably doesn't really need one." Ayumu relayed his story while conveniently leaving out a certain detail.

"Maybe she was just lonely. And Haruna?"

"She came about a month later. I was in a graveyard minding my own business-"

"Wait, why were you in a graveyard?" Spike asked

"Uh, I find it calming. Don't judge me! Anyway… I was just chilling out when I hear chainsaws and roaring nearby suddenly Haruna showed up nearly cutting me in half going after a Megalo. She was going to have my memory erased because normal people aren't supposed to know about magic, but I ended up accidently stealing her powers."

"You stole her powers?"

"Turns out I have this ability to absorb magic. So Haruna ends up living with me and Eu, and I had to take her place as a magical garment girl until she got her powers back. Even though she did she still hasn't left…" Ayumu trails off suddenly thinking about that. Haruna had her powers back she still insists on staying. Even though he didn't mind and considers Haruna a good friend he was curious about that.

"You become a girl?" Of course Spike only hears that part.

"Not physically! I… just… wear her outfit" Ayumu muttered the last part and couldn't believe that Spike was holding back laughter (and failing).

"Spike!"

"Oh! *Ahem* Sorry, but you got to admit that's hilarious!" Spike said as he tried to wash down his laughter with some tea.

"Says the dragon drinking from a tea set"

Spike noticed and instantly threw down the teacup embarrassed Aw, man! This is why I went on this quest in the first place! To toughen myself up! Like a real dragon!

"Hey… sorry. Back home we drink tea all the time, I didn't mean to embarrass you" Ayumu said sincerely. He's a zombie who wears a magic dress, he knew better than to judge Spike on being "girly"

Spike saw that Ayumu meant what he said and soften his gaze a little "Yeah I'm sorry laughing too. Well enough of that finish your story! "

"Okay, well a week after I killed my first Megalo the three of us were eating dinner when Sera suddenly showed up"

"She showed up… just like that?" Spike asked "Yup, and asked for miso soup." Ayumu recalled that little moment while Spike just blinked in confusion what's miso soup?

"Anyway Sera's a vampire-ninja…" He paused to see Spike giggling "Yeah I know it sounds silly, but roll with it. She showed up to take Eu to her village even be her servant if necessary but when Eu refused she challenged me to a fight and I won. But Sera still ended up staying to serve Eu and even though I beat her she's technically my servant I have no authority what so ever on her, especially since she always calls me a maggot"

"If she's so mean to you why you didn't just kick her out?" The baby dragon asked, thinking why he would live with someone like that.

"Oh we're on better terms now, well better than before, she still calls me maggot but she does show respect for my fighting skill." Ayumu said but honestly Seraphim confuses him sometimes like he told Spike they're on better terms than when they met, but she still acts like she hates him and sometimes he's not sure if he should consider her a friend. And he knows Sera isn't heartless either, after she told the others her mission was to kill Eu because her village thought she was the cause of increase of Megalo attacks he thought that was probably the real reason Sera stuck around. When he asked if she was okay with it, not as a vampire-ninja but as herself, and she said no he could tell she was telling the truth. Ayumu has always wondered that the reason she never left after was because of some of the vampire-ninjas crazy rules, maybe if you failed your mission you can't come back. He made a mental note to ask her when he gets back.

"Ayumu I think we've been here long enough. We gotta catch up to the migration!" Spike said as he was putting his things away.

"Yeah and the sun is setting so I don't have to duck through trees!" Ayumu said absolutely being giddy.

As the two walked away the ponies behind them made sure they were far enough to follow without being spotted.

"Rainbow did you set up the fabric?" Twilight asked. The pegasus simply nodded her head.

"Good"

…

Spike and Ayumu were walking in the forest following the migration. The two were still making small talk.

"So are there dragons in your world Ayumu?" Spike asked

"Only in mythology." The teenage zombie dragon answered. "But you said there was magic in your world even before you knew about it, maybe there are dragons in your world and you've just never seen them" Spike replied back.

"You know, I've never thought about that…" Ayumu said leaving another mental note to ask the girls later.

"Hey look!" Spike broke Ayumu's train of thought as the two of them were walking at what seemed to be like an abandoned campsite. Whoever was here seemed to leave there tent behind too.

"That's odd. Why would they leave a tent behind?" Spike said curiously. "Well there long gone now, judging by how dirty the tent looks." Ayumu added. Spike nodded and suddenly an idea hit him.

"Hey, since nopony's gonna miss the tent maybe you can use it to cover yourself! That way you won't have to keep looking for shade!" Spike said as he took down the tent and gave it to Ayumu. Ayumu took it from his hands and made the fabric into a makeshift poncho; it fit him perfectly. But he couldn't help but notice something. He was no camping expert but he was pretty sure they don't make tents out of this material, but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. No pun intended.

"Finders keepers." Ayumu mused to himself.

"Come on Ayumu, let's go!" Spike shouted already at the base of the mounted starting to climb up

"Oh come on Spike, wait for me!" The older dragon said as he ran up to him.

Not too far behind them…

"Wow Twilight, your plan actually worked!" Rainbow said to the lavender unicorn. "I'm just glad they didn't get to suspicious." Twilight said noticing how carefully Ayumu was feeling the fabric.

"But darling are we really going to climb the mountain?" Rarity complained (Yes complained, not whined) as she looked up at the mountain.

"Sorry Rarity there doesn't seem to be another through to get the migration. We have to climb if we want to keep up with them." Twilight explained.

"Oh alright then. It's a good thing I brought scarves" Rarity said as she took three from her saddlebag and handed them out.

"Well girls, let's go!" Twilight said as the three of them walked forward. As they walked Twilight thought about how Ayumu described his friends. As incredibly silly some details were, she felt that he really cared about them and she couldn't help but think that maybe he was telling the truth about from another world. Twilight also couldn't help but wonder about this "Eu" person, she's never heard of somepony having so much magic it affects reality and to withhold your emotions just to keep it in check. It almost reminded her of when she was filly when she lost control of her magic briefly, but to half no control over your magic at all must be horrible.

But something seems fishy here… Twilight thought to herself He doesn't seem to be lying but it seems like Ayumu's holding something back when he was talking about how he met his roommates, like there's a really big detail that he doesn't seem to want to tell Spike. Absorbing magic, can't stand sunlight, feels comfort in graveyards, Ayumu Aikawa… what are you hiding?

Phew… that took a while to get down. Also can someone answer me this, did Sera ever get in trouble with her village for not killing Eu? I can't seem to find anything on that. If Is This A Zombie ever gets a third season (LIKE IT SHOULD!) they should show more of Sera's back story because as of now she's one of the least interesting characters, which is too bad because she has so much potential! Haruna too, for the some of the same reasons as Sera. Speaking of the girls next chapter will focus on them, as soon as figure out whether or not to use Tomonori aka Yuki aka Mael Strom (why does she have so many names!) not that I don't like her it's just I find the whole "we must be together cuz we kissed" thing annoying. I know that's one of the vampire-ninja rules, but Ayumu doesn't seem to see her as anything beyond "friend".

Like what you see? Anything needs improving? Comment below and let me know! See ya!
