Ponyville:

The next day was a huge shocker for all the citizens. Celestia made an appearance to make an announcement. "Citizens of Ponyville, you all know of the two strange beings known as Laharl and Issac?" The were murmurs among the crowd, all were about the two guys. "Well," she continued on, "Due to a magical incident, their bodies have changed and I sorry to say I don't know when they will return to their pony forms."

The murmurs turned to worried concerns, 'Wow, that's strange.'

'I wonder what they look like.'

'I hope their still friendly to us.' Celestia held out her left hoof, "And here they are, Laharl and Issac!" Both guys came out in the outfits they came in this world with. They had big smiles on their faces in hopes of not freaking out the ponies, but the town started to back away slowly.

The boy's smiles slowly disappeared and Laharl muttered, "Oh god this is going well."

Then the Cutie Mark Crusaders came on stage and Scootaloo yelled, "HEY, these guys saved us one time." The town folk stopped to listen.

Sweetie Belle spoke up, "Yeah, we were caught in a small town full of monsters that were gonna eat us."

Apple Bloom spoke up, "These fellas who didn't even know us, risked their lives for us."

Twilight and the others came on stage and spoke up as well, "You all remembered that creature that Trixie unleashed," the folks started to murmur about that incident, "Laharl took care of it."

Rainbow interrupted , "And those punk dragons that swooped into town," more murmurs came from the crowd, "they sent them home crying to their mama's."

Luna came forward, "There was an incident in Bright City where horrible vampires were planning on taking over Ponyville and these two young lads vanquished the head vampire and stopped the assault."

The crowd started cheering and started stomping their hooves on the ground. Laharl put his head down to the girl's level and asked with a smile, "Have I ever told you girls how much I love you?" They all shook their heads. "Well I really love you all right now."

"Me too," Issac said with a smile of his own. The cheering subsided when Celestia started flapping her wings.

"Alright my little ponies," she said getting everyponies attention, "I'm sure the lot of you have questions for these fine young men, but my sister and I must depart with them and discuss business matters at hand." With that, Celestia and Luna disappeared into a ball of light, everypony was amazed by this, they didn't notice that Laharl and Issac was gone as well.

Sweet Apple Acres:

It was night time at the Apple family farm. Applejack finished tucking her sister in and was about to go to bed herself when Apple Bloom asked a question, "Hey sis... um... what do y'all think of Mister Laharl?"

She turned to her with a confused look on her face, "What do ya mean?"

Apple Bloom rubbed her hooves together, "Ah mean, you and the other girls hang with him all the time, is he a good guy or a bad guy like other ponies say?"

Applejack sighed and walked over to her sisters bed and placed her forelegs up on it, "Well sugarcube... he is arrogant, stubborn, says bad words and has a very cocky attitude." Apple Bloom didn't like what she was hearing. "But," Applejack continued on, "he can be sweet at times, very helpful, saved yours and m'ah bacon from bad folk and is very smart." Apple Bloom smiled again. "One thing that does bother me, are those freaky powers of his."

Applejack remembered how he twisted that dragon's arms with his black claw things, how he grew that giant claw and grabbed the bat creature the same night and that red object in his hands in Bright City. She shook her head trying to get back to reality and looked at her sister again, "Anyhoo, why did you want to know about him?"

Apple Bloom turned red a little and started fidgeting with her hooves, "N... no reason."

She thought for a moment and smiled a little, "Apple Bloom..do y'all have a little crush on him?"

Apple Bloom started whimpering a little, "Your not mad... are ya?"

Applejack smiled a little more, "Naw sugarcube, it's understandable. Ah will admit he has a sort of... handsomeness to him and all but theres noth'in wrong with a little crush."

Apple Bloom started shaking a little, "Ah just don't want to seem like a freak to others... Ah mean Ah ain't got no cutie mark and Ah like some big guy from another world."

Applejack started stroking Apple Blooms mane, "Now now, don't be talkin' like that now. Ah bet your not the only gal who thinks he's handsome and has a little crush on him. Ah know a gal who really likes him."

Apple Bloom sat up, "Who, who, who?"

Applejack kissed Apple Blooms forehead and started out the door, "That's a secret sugarcube and it's time for little fillies to be in bed."

"Fine," she grunted and laid down to sleep.

Applejack closed the door and headed to her room, 'Poor Laharl, that feller is gonna have a hard time now.'

Cantorlot Castle:

A giant fancy carriage just left with Issac and the Cantorlot Symphony. Laharl just stood there watching as they departed and Luna looking at him with a worried look. "Are you not worried about him being out there on his own," she asked him.

He smiled, "No, he's a big boy, he can take care of himself and anyone else."

She was taken back by this answer, "But what if he gets hurt, gets lost on the way or even worse."

He turned to her with a plain look on his face, "If I started to worry, I would go after him and do the job for him. Then he will think I don't trust him or have any confidence in his abilities. The best thing I can do for him now is just relax and let him do his job," he sighed and looked away, "besides, if he wants my help, he can call and ask for it."

She shook her head and sighed herself, "You two are strange creatures to us."

He chuckled a little and patted her head, "And you are strange to us as well."

He started to walk away, "Where are you going," Luna called out.

Laharl waved his hand as he continued to walk off into the distance, "I'm going home, it's late and I'm tired." Luna looked sad at how he just acted. Suddenly a white wing wrapped itself around her and she looked to see her sister smiling at her.

"Celestia, why does he act like that," Luna asked.

Celestia turned to see Laharl walking away, "He does care but doesn't show it. It is a male way of acting and we can't change that."

Luna looked sincere, "Do you worry about me dear sister?"

Celestia rubbed her head against Luna's, "Of course I do and I show it. But Laharl think by showing that he worries, it will make him look weak. He needs to stay stay strong or he will lose focus in his tasks." Luna still didn't get it but she understood him a little more.

Next day, Ponyville Square:

The girls and Spike were sitting down to lunch during the afternoon. The restaurant they were at wasn't that busy, so getting a table and food wasn't a problem. Spike was staring at Rarity while she was busy talking to the others. Pinkie looked really sad today and her mane and tail was straightened out and not poofy as it usually is. Twilight noticed this, "Pinkie Pie, what's wrong, why do you look so sad?" Everybody stopped to find out.

She looked up with a sad face, "I had a pinkie sense last night..and it wasn't a good one."

The girls looked worried and Rarity asked, "Whatever do you mean darling by 'wasn't a good one'?"

Pinkie looked around at them, "Like... somepony or someone is going away for a while."

Fluttershy looked worried, "You mean like Laharl or Issac?" She didn't say anything and looked down again.

Rarity went over and put a comforting foreleg around Pinkie, "Don't worry yourself dear, they are strong boys who can take care of themselves."

She still looked sad, "Okay."

Rarity smiled, "How about you come with me and Fluttershy next time we go to the spa and have a girls day together."

Pinkie smiled, "Can I have the deluxe treatment?"

She giggled, "Of course darling, anything you want." Fluttershy smiled as well, "Yeah, the more, the merrier." Pinkie was so happy, her color and mane turned back to the way it was.

Rarity looked off and saw two mares walking by. One was a light blue with a pink mane and tail and the other mare looked the same but the colors were reversed. They both had white headbands on and their cutie marks looked the same, but different colored. She waved her foreleg and yelled, "Yoohoo, Aloe, Lotus darlings!"

They smiled, came over and the blue mare spoke in a strong European accent, "Miss Rarity, you've been gone for a long while, you will be coming back for treatment, yes?"

Rarity looked proud, "Of course Lotus dear and do you think you can include Pinkie here with me and Fluttershy as well?"

Lotus closed her eyes and chuckled, "Yes, the more, the merrier."

The twin pony spoke in the same accent but sounds older, "You all hang with those Grimm boys, are they handsome yes?" The girls were a little taken back by the question and started to stutter for an answer.

Pinkie spoke first, "I like the way Izzy stretches."

Applejack was next, "M'ah little sis has a crush on Laharl."

All the girls but Rarity went "Awwwwe".

Twilight spoke up, "I think that's sweet."

Rarity huffed, "Well I don't really see the handsomeness in Laharl at all." The other girls gasped and Rarity went on, "He is rough, wears strange garments, swears and is the most... oh... my... " She went wide eyed and the other girls looked in the direction she was looking in and went wide eyed as well.

Laharl was walking in their direction sporting an open black suit shirt, white shirt underneath, red tie, black slacks, black dress shoes with black socks, a black fedora and black sunglasses on. He had a smile on his face as he was strutting a little. As he approached them, he grabbed a nearby chair and sat on it right at their table. The girls kept staring at him and he just continued to smile, "You can put you eyes and tongues back in your head now."

They all start to turn red and Applejack spoke, "Woowee, ain't you a handsome feller."

Rainbow eyed him up and down, "Yeah, you look twenty percent more awesome!" Laharl then felt a pony on each of his shoulders. It was the twin mares, looking at him with big eyes.

He touched each of them and sighed, "Oh thank God, for a moment I was going mad."

They giggled and Lotus spoke, "Such a funny creature, right Aloe?"

The pink mare, Aloe nodded, "Yes and so handsome too." They got off and both looked at him and Aloe asked, "You come to our spa for relaxing time, yes?"

He didn't know what to think so he blurted out, "Uh... yes?" They giggled and walked off, talking about him.

He seemed confused and looked at Pinkie, "Did that just happened or am I hallucinating?"

Pinkie giggled, "Silly billy, thats Aloe and Lotus, they run the spa in town."

He looked more relaxed, "Oh good, for a moment I thought I might have really gone mad."

Fluttershy stuttered, "Um... y... you... look... very... handsome... today."

He smiled and petted her head, "Aren't you a sweetie." She blushed a little more. Then he looked at Rarity with an amused look on his face, "And what were you going to call me?"

She straightened up and looked around, "I... I don't know what your talking about dear."

He put on a very coy smile, "Oh you do, I think you said," then he spoke in the same voice and tone she spoke in, "He is rough, wears strange garments, swears and is the most... ," he made a hand gesture to her to finish the rest. She looked down and started sipping her tea.

Spike stood up and spoke, "Hey pal, how do even that she said that."

Laharl still smiled the same way and spoke like Pinkie, "I like the way Izzy stretches," and then spoke like Applejack, "M'ah little sis has a crush on Laharl," then spoke in his voice, "Which I admire by the way."

Twilight looked amazed, "How can you do that?"

He took off his hat and started rubbing his head, "I can't thoroughly explain it, but I can hear things from faraway, even whispers and I remember every voice and sound I've heard and I can reproduce. Only me and my dad can do it."

"You shouldn't make fun of us and especially Rarity like," said Spike pointing a claw at him.

"Yeah, but I just wanted to know what she was going to call me."

Rarity pulled Spike close, "Don't talk like that to my Spikey-Wikey."

Laharl started snickering, "Spikey-Wikey," then he made an evil grin, "Oh I just got ammunition." Rainbow and Pinkie started snickering as well.

Spike stood up, "Hey, it's a respectful name."

"Yeah, it sure is," the Laharl started snickering again, "Spikey-Wikey," then started laughing a little. Then Spike started pouting. Laharl sighed and got up, "I'm going to walk around some more, see ya later," and started walking off.

Applejack shook her head, "I wonder if he's acting like that because he can walk around in that form thing of his."

Pinkie looked sad again, "I guess my pinkie sense was about Izzy."

Applejack turned to her, "Or he might be acting like this because Issac's not here."

Central Park:

Laharl was walking around the park, taking in the sites. As he was doing this, he was hearing all the conversation about him, 'He sure is very handsome.'

'What a strange creature.'

'I wonder if he has a very special somepony.'

'I don't want him near my children.'

'What a horrible monster.' It didn't bother him that much. He keeps saying that to himself, but it still hurts. But the thought that Apple Bloom has a little crush on him made him happy. It was good to have fans. What she saw in him was unknown to him but he didn't care.

'At least she doesn't think of me as a monster', he thought. That was the last thing he wanted her to think of him as. Normally he never cared what others thought of him but on this world, it was different.

It was changing his thoughts and feelings. He sat down to think about everything that has happened. Saving kids from zombies, killing vampires and showing ponies something they've never seen before takes it's toll on him. His train of thought gone when he felt something on his leg. It was Silver Spoon, looking up at him with a smile. Her smile made him feel better as well.

"Can I help you," he asked.

She stilled looked at him, "I'm just enjoying the view." He started petting her and her tail started wagging. Suddenly her smile faded and Laharl stopped. She looked away, "My family doesn't like you. They say your bad."

He looked a little angry, "Well you can't please everypony."

She looked at him again with a smile, "But I still like you."

This made him smile, "Nice, one more little fan for me."

"SILVER SPOON," yelled a tall, yellow stallion with a black mane and tail and blue eyes. He had a picture of a platinum spoon on his flank. Silver hopped off the bench and started to walk away when Laharl stopped her for a moment.

She looked at him and he made a serious face, "If something goes wrong, come to me for help if you need it." She smiled and went off into the crowd. He got up and started to walk away.

Peace Valley:

It was the twilight eve when Laharl was coming to the cliffs of the valley. He sat down to get a better view of the valley down below. It was lush and green and full of wildlife. He inhaled and let a deep breath of air. "You know you can come out and say hi," he said still looking out into the valley. Trixie came out of a nearby bush covered with bruises and cuts. She looked a little pathetic but full a fear.

"How did you know The Great and Powerful Trixie was there," she asked trying to be brave.

He breathed through his nose, "Why do you look like that?"

She shrunk back and was about to cry, "When Tri... I mean when I was under the control of the vampires, I had to kidnap griffon's and now some of them found me and want to... really hurt me." He extended his hand out to her and she really shrank back and started whimpering. She was expecting him to strike but he was gently petting her.

It felt really good and she came closer to him but was still fearful of him. She looked at him and cocked and eyebrow, "Why are you being nice to Trixie?"

"I believe in giving second chances to others who deserve it," he answered.

"I found him," yelled Pinkie bouncing towards him with the others following behind.

Applejack saw Trixie and became a little hostile, "What is she doing here?"

Trixie started to back away slowly and Laharl angrily said, "Be nice dammit." The girls went over to comfort Trixie but she backed away further. Suddenly, three griffon's swooped down landed near them. All of them had black and red feathers with green eyes. Laharl took off his hat and glasses and set them on the ground. He got up and walked towards the griffon's who looked at him with murder in their eyes.

The biggest griffon stood up and was as tall as him. He spoke in a deep voice, "I see you found that little killer for us... just hand her over and we'll be on our merry way." Laharl didn't say anything and the griffon started pushing him a little.

Pinkies hooves started getting a tingly feeling, "Uh-oh, my pinkie senses tell me somepony is going to get many ouchies."

Fluttershy looked fearful, "Oh no, poor Laharl."

Pinkie gave the girls a small worried look, "It isn't Laharl that I'm worried about."

Small black flames surrounded Laharl, Black Vulcan Blaze: Laharl started punching and kicking the griffon and continued to do so until they were up in the air. The griffon fell to the ground and Laharl started once again pummeling it and flip kicked him in the air. Laharl landed on the ground, made a fist with his right hand, emanated black lightning and jumped up and uppercut the griffon.

He landed, clenched his right fist and the griffon erupted in a black flame. The griffon landed on the ground, burnt up. Laharl walked over to get his hat and glasses and the other griffon's charged to the girls. Just as Laharl was picking up his stuff, he said in a threatening tone, "You birds do anything to those girls and I'll be having fried chicken for dinner tonight."

The griffon's stopped, turned around, took their burnt friend and flew off into the sunset. Laharl walked by the girls and threw a small container at Trixie, which she caught with her magic. "Where are you going man," Rainbow asked.

He yawned and just walked on, "Home, it's been an eventful." Trixie opened the container and there was blue goo with a letter that said, 'Apply to wounds to heal by tomorrow!'.

'Why does he help Trixie', she thought.
