Warning: Contains fight scene (which I'm not good at writing)...

I opened my eyes with a head full of pain.
'What in the name of Celestia?' I thought as I opened my eyes to see nothing but blue and black.
After a few seconds and the sound of a gasp the odd shape dissaperad from my nose and I was able to see. I looked around to see Daybreak and I in our human forms while everyone else was still pony. I looked closely at Dash to see her blushing.
"Heh," she nervously giggled "sorry about that Twix," I shot her a confused frown "for landing on your face." When the thought ran through my head that it was Dash's flank on my head I smiled embarrassed.
I looked back at Daybreak to see a smaller version of myself. Dark ginger hair, brown eyes and naked...My eyes flashed back to his face.
"What's this thing?" Daybreak asked as he started fondling with his larger genital "I haven't seen something this small before."
I looked towards Bill who was on the ground laughing while Dash looked as dumbfounded as Daybreak.
"BILL," I screeched causing him to stop laughing and sit upright "that's not funny and Daybreak," he turned to face me while still having his hand on the growing muscle, not that I was looking. "I would rather it if you stopped playing with that!"
"Look, you've got one too dad and it's bigger than mine," I looked down to see myself naked too. I gaped from embarrassment. "Is that the true colour of your fur," Daybreak said as he fell towards me nearly face-planting on my crouch. I jumped back in shock of what could have happened if he had gone further. I covered myself up with my hands while Bill was again laughing his flank off. Poor Rainbow Dash didn't have a clue what was going on, so she sat in the corner with her head tilted to the side.
'So,' I thought 'we have two ponies and two humans...seems legit!' I smiled.
I quickly ran to an old dresser I never used that I stashed small shorts in and grabbed two pairs of pants.
"Here, these should do," I said as I threw one pair to Daybreak who was slowly standing up on two legs, and slipped on a pair myself.
"What are these things?" He asked looking at me as I put them on.
"Human clothes," I smiled. "You wanted to come here, well here you go."

After a bit of struggling helping Daybreak put shorts on I was surprised that he managed to do a fair amount of it himself. 'Quick learner, just like his father,' I gulped mid-thought.
"Are you alright dad?" Daybreak asked as Bill and Derpy walked out the bedroom door smiling to eachother.
"Yeah," I grinned "I'm fine…son," I looked over to Rainbow to see her smiling her silly cyan head off, "what are you giggling at?" I asked suspiciously.
"You told me you weren't ready to be a father…looks like you proved yourself wrong," Dash replied holding back more laughter.
I squinted my eyes in deep thought "What do you mean?"
"You just called him son."
"Well he's my son…isn't he?" I asked smiling myself.
"Ahm," Daybreak cleared his throat. "I'm right here ya know!" He said leaning against the wall.
I looked at Dash to see her smiling, I just shook my head laughing, "Come here Day," I said as I picked him up.
"Whoa," he flinched as I lifted him onto my back.
"It's alright, I'm not gonna drop you…or am I?" I tilted my head to see him looking at Rainbow with a worried expression. Dash was simply smiling. "Do you think I'm that mean?"
"Dad," he implied "I barely even know you."
"That's going to change," I said while feeling more ready to be a father.

We were walking into the main city, me holding Daybreak by the hand and the others waiting back at the house.
"So Daybreak, what do you think of my home world?" I asked knowing his reaction was going to be pleased.
"I like it! I don't know what you were saying about every pony wanting to kill each other!" He said excited.
"You just wait Daybreak…you better not want to find that I was right the hard way," I said with a deeper fatherly voice.
He smiled.
I looked around in thought about what to show Daybreak but as I did something caught my eye. Something that seemed familiar…someone. I approached the figure that was standing in a shadow. With a dark hoody on.
"Hello Twix," he said happily.
"Aspire," I smiled. "I'd like you to meet my son, Daybreak."
"I already know Daybreak," Aspire smiled and giving me a pat on the back and walking away.
"How?" I asked following him with Daybreak trailing behind.
"Oh, Matthew Alan Chase, you'll find out soon enough…turn around. This is an open opportunity for you," I turned around to see another familiar figure walking down the street with a clenched fist and an angry expression. "Daybreak you better come with me…you're going to find out the hard way as to why this is a bad world." Aspire said as he grabbed Daybreaks hand, I let go by surprise.
"Aspire," I said slowly taking a few steps into the shadow backing away from the figure that got closer. "Is that Tan…." My voice faded leaving me speechless.
"Yes, it's Tank. Your high school bully. He knows you're here and he's not going without a fight," Aspire smiled. I faced Aspire with a scare expression.
"Wha?" I said as a loud voice boomed throughout the ghost street.
"MATTHEW ALAN CHASE, PREPARE TO BE TANKED! YOU'VE INSULTED MY MOTHER FOR THE LAST TIME!" I turned around again to see Tank right behind me.

I felt a fist to my face and a blood mist flew through the air.
"Tank," I groaned holding my jaw "what did I do?"
"I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" He screamed.
His words were accompanied by a kick to my chest throwing me metres into the air. I landed hard on my back. I slowly made my way back to my legs but I was met by a foot to the face knocking me back to the ground again.
He put his foot to my chest making it difficult for me to breathe.
"Awww, look at you," his voice full of anger and cheek "alone without your mummy and daddy, aren't you? BITCH," he kicked me again winding me.
"My father is dead," I protested "and he was a bastard of a man…no worse than you," I smiled with blood dripping out of my mouth.
I was met with another foot to the face, turning my neck. Facing Daybreak and Aspire who were showing faces of courage and worry. Aspire was nodding hinting me to retaliate by nodding at him with a face full of 'show him what you've got'.
"Tank," I groaned gaining his attention "You clearly don't know me anymore," I smiled with a trickle of blood running over a burst pimple on my chin. The pain was unbearable I let out a small tear mixed with pain and anger.
"You're right, because you're still alive….but that's going to change. You might be able to skip school, but I'll always find you," he landed a fist to my face and spat in my eyes.
I was sure that that broke my nose.
"C'mon Matt, you can do it," said a voice that I last heard before performing the sonic rainboom.
I felt my chest get lighter. But as soon as it did I felt a solid contact with a red blur to my face. Everything started going round in circles and began to darken. I felt my muscles slowly retracting.
'I failed you Rainbow Dash, Daybreak, Aspire, Bill, Derpy, mum and Scootaloo….I'm so sorry,' I thought as I felt another solid contact to my face.
"Ge….o….im…" I heard a faint voice say as my conscious faded in and out.
"Ga….You lit…..fucki…cu….nt," said a voice that sounded like Tank in ….pain?
"D….Ge….Up," said the faint voice, "DAD," my focus came back into view "DAD, GET UP," rang out a high pitch sound similar to shellshock.
"Day…break?" I groaned.
"YES, Dad please, get up no…aghhh," Daybreak's voice cut out to a painful groan followed by a loud thud.
"FUCKING LITTLE BASTARD," said a dull voice known as Tank.
I opened my eyes to see a blinding light. I blinked, my eyes slowly adjusted and I was able to stand up. I looked behind me to see Daybreak being beaten up by Tank.
Anger, pain and rage simply passed through my veins.
"TANK," I screamed that loud that tears flowed out of my eyes. "Get the fuck off of off him!" Determined courage pounded through my voice.
I started feeling my hairs raise on their ends. I flashed my eyes down to my hands to see a black glow forming. I started walking forwards and stumbled on a brick dripping with blood. It simply filled me with more rage seeing my blood spilt on a sidewalk.
The black glow around my hands instantly spread around the rest of my body and adrenaline pumped gold streaks throughout my black aurora.
I looked up again to see Tank running at me screaming. I refused to stand down, I didn't want to… this bully was going down. He was centimetres from my head before I jumped at him with a fist knocking him down to the ground.
"Tank, things are different. I'm different, I'm more powerful," I gloated feeling like the bad guy in the fight. "Nobody hurts my son!" I screamed. I looked a Daybreak laying on the ground crying. I became even more enraged. I looked down at Tank, he was trying to stand up, but my foot, with the adreneline surge, was too powerful for him. I looked deep into his eyes, "you ruined my life in high school...that's going to change...NOW!" I screamed as I dropped onto his nose with my fist. A huge shockwave flowed through the ground knocking Daybreak into the air himself. I took a step back with a breath to see what damage I caused to Tank. What I saw amazed me to the point of being disgusted… his face was flat with a large fist imprint embedded in his nose.
I looked back at Daybreak "Oh shit, quick," I picked him up and looked around to see Aspire smiling in the same shadow as before "Aspire! RUN" I screamed. Aspire smiled, waved and walked away. I turned around and ran back to the house.

I slammed the door shut and looked around hurridly. Dash was the first to appear from the kitchen.
"Hey guys," she flashed her confident smirk "how did it go?"
I dropped Daybreak on the floor and threw my arms around Dash "I think I seriously injured someone Dash, why is it that every time we come back to Earth someone always gets hurt?"

10 minutes of explaining later

"It's ok Twix, you were defending yourself…it can happened to any pony"
I looked up "Rainbow, I probably killed another human being!"
Suddenly I heard a voice overpowering whatever it was Dash tried telling me.
"Twix, it's ok," I recognised it as Aspire "you've done nothing wrong. Don't feel bad for it."
Dash looked at me confused "Twix, did you hear what I said?"
I shook my head and smiled "let's go back home."

I hit the button and as usual everything faded out. I saw Aspire again. As soon as our eyes came into contact I looked straight down to the black emptiness below me. "I killed him didn't I?" I dropped to my knees "I killed Tank."
I felt a hand on my shoulder "Twix there are more things to worry about. This isn't one of them. I know it's not really a good time to bring this up but…are you surprised of the mark you left in his face?"
I slowly nodded feeling a bubble in my throat. "Why Aspire? Why did I do it?"
"Twix," his voice sounded more curious "why do people get bullied in high school?"
I spoke harshly "because we're different?"
I felt a smile look upon me "exactly!"
"So what?" I turned, face full of guilt and confusion "I was always different then everyone else!"
"Twix, I think that there's something that you need to know. Well two actually," his voice became more distant.
I sighed "what now?"
I understand you're aware that the six ponies you've spent time with, even if not as much as you wish, are the Elements of Harmony," he paused until I nodded "well, you're not really a true pony," I nodded again "so you have humanity in you. Am I right?" We sat in silence until I nodded again "take an element, add magic to it, mix it with humanity and what do you have?" I shrugged not following his statement "a new element. The Element...of Humanity."
I turned around, my face turning into more confusion "so you're saying that I-"
"You're an element. You're the Element of Humanity." Aspire finished my sentence as I slowly made my way to my feet again. "now, there was something else I wanted to tell you," I snorted "your life isn't what it seems."
I grew frustrated and put my hands to my head "what do you mean?"
His voice became mumbled and static as everything became a dull white "your life….my…tion….."
I felt like I hit the ground face first as my eyes closed themselves. I slowly opened them again to see my reality-jumping buddies peering over me.
"Hey beautiful," I smiled putting a hoof on Dash's cheek. I looked over to Daybreak who had a small smile on his face "Daybreak, you're my saviour." I remembered that Daybreak pushed Tank off of me to save me...what a good kid.
I looked back at Dash, her face turned into one of amazement "Twix...what's that?"
I followed her eyes down to my chest to see that I had a small necklace on with a badge saying "ST" on it. It had a neon blue glow on the "S" and a neon yellow on the "T". Behind the "ST" had a symbol that looked very similar to Earth.
"I…" I stuttered "I dunno," my mind retraced back to Aspire's words "I think it's an element."
I was rewarded with a lot of confused faces "C'mon," Dash said as she opened the front door "let's go and see Twilight. Maybe she can help us find out what it is."
I nodded and looked towards Bill "you can do whatever…It's not up to me to make sure you stay out of trouble anymore." I smiled.
Bill chuckled and agreed.
"When do you wanna see your mum again Twix?" Dash called out in front as Daybreak and I flew close behind. "You haven't seen her in a while."
I smiled. I forgot all about her "I dunno, maybe when we find out what this badge is. By the looks of it she seems happy with Big Mac," Dash looked back perking up a grin "we'll see her then."
Dash nodded as I turned to Daybreak "so kiddo, what did you think of Earth?" he frowned as he dropped back a bit "Daybreak, c'mon man, that stuff happens every day there."
"So you're not mad at me?" His voice made me feel terrible. I showed my son violence, I beat another of my own kind in front of him. My only son, which I don't really know, but still love.
I slowed down to let Daybreak catch up, I waited until he was by my side then I lunged towards him, wrapping my hooves around his wings. "D…dad!" He screamed as I embraced the moment.
"Daybreak, you know just as well that I'd never be angry at you." I smiled.
"Dad, get off me! WE'RE FALLING!" he screamed.
I smiled "I know."
I looked down to see the ground coming up faster and heard Daybreak's scream get louder.
As we were metres above the ground I flared out my wings and we glided. Our hooves only centimetres from reaching the ground.
I threw Daybreak into the sky and watched as he flared out his own wings and caught up with Dash. I smiled as I caught up.
I looked further to see Dash already on the ground outside the huge tree-house while Daybreak was just landing next to her. I smiled at the scenery as I landed next to them with the treehouse door open and my two new family members inside.
"So where is he?" I heard a familiar friendly voice say.
"Right here," I zoomed in a flashed to Twilight's field of view.
"Good, now let's begin. What's the story behind this…thing?" She asked looking at the emblem on my chest.
I told her what Aspire told me and how it randomly appeared on my chest. Twilight's reaction surprised me.
"No," she took a few steps back "this can't be…this is impossible!"
"Twilight," I walked over to her "what is it?"
She backed away from me very slowly with her head suspiciously low "this is an element."
"An element? What do you mean?" I took another step forward.
She looked scared "You're the Element of Humanity!"
"Oh cool," I looked down admiring the medallion "so I'm like one of you guys?"
"NO!" Twilight snapped "The Elements of Humanity were created by Discord and Nightmare Moon themselves. I thought they were rumours, but apparently not."
"C'mon Twi," Dash said putting her legs around me "so our two enemies created them? What's Twix going to do? Use them against us or something?"
Twilight's face turned into one of evil. "Princess Celestia would like an Element of Humanity in a display cabinet," a devil smile appeared on her face as her horn started to glow and she took a few slow steps towards me lowering her head as she did.
Suddenly a bolt of purple flew towards me, my high school instincts kicked in and I managed to dodge it, while keeping momentum I flew over to Dash and landed next to her.
"What the hell was that?" Dash ran to Twilight and bucked her in the face, knocking her to the ground with a grunt. "Twilight Sparkle, have you lost your mind?" She pinned her to the ground.
"It's too late to do anything now. The princesses are on their way!" Twilight groaned.
I walked over to the two mares and looked down at Twilight "what for?"
"To turn you into stone of course."
Why did Twilight or the princesses want to turn me into stone? What did I do wrong? I was confused and dizzy. "What are the princesses angry at me for Twilight?"
"The Elements of Humanity have ruined their power in the past, she won't let it happen again and I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen either."
Another bolt of lightning flew towards me, I did my best to dodge it but as I did I smelt something burning. I took a deep sniff and saw that my mane was one fire. I quickly shook my head and it went out. I looked up to see a bright flash out the front door.
"Here they come, you bearer of evil," Twilight's voice started a manic laughter "here come the princesses!"
"Quick Twix," Dash pushed me towards a flight of spiralled stairs "We've gotta move now!"
Twilight just jumped up, galloping to the front door.
I started to panic, then again…why wouldn't I? I had two princesses trying to kill me as well as some maniac unicorn…I don't even know what I did wrong.
Dash and I fled out a window on the second floor as the princesses walked in so we were unnoticed.
The flight was intense, why we were being chased I had no idea for but I'll be honest…It was scary. I didn't want to die. I didn't want my life to be meaningless and be killed by royalty. I wanted to make a difference. I looked ahead at Dash, watching her nervously look around making sure no pony was following us.

We finally set down at the entrance to the Everfree forest. Dash wrapped her hooves around me "Twix…" I stopped her, putting a hoof to her mouth.
"Dash," I took my hoof away and put it on the necklace "this thing might have been from an evil creature but I promise you that I'm not one of them."
Dash didn't say anything but instead hugged me again. I rubbed her shoulder "I want you Dash."
We stood there for what seemed like minutes in silence, embraced in a hug until she finally whispered "I want you too."
I looked up and into the distance of the Everfree "what's so scary about this palce?"
Dash gave a nervous chuckle "Twix…don't be silly…you know what's in there."
I squeezed her tighter "but with you it couldn't be scary!"
She broke the hug and held me at legs length and just stared into my eyes. No words were said, just her beautiful pink eyes filling my heart with love and trust. That knowing smile, eating away at my anger and anxiety. I didn't know what to do other than look back into her eyes, I just wanted to hold her and never let go, I wanted to be by her side and never a minute alone, but most importantly, I wanted to be a family with her and Daybreak.
Staring into her eyes seemed to tell the story of her childhood again, about her parents kicking her out of home, abandoning her when she needed them most. They told me why she acted the way she did, the thoughts she said aloud and the actions she took. She was a unique mare who couldn't have better friends than anyone would ask for. Her attitude towards life made me smile, living for today and wanting to win.
I whispered "Dashie," I smiled even more "I want you to know that if anything happens to me, I love you and Daybreak."
"Twix," she gave me a playful smile "you're the longest colt I've ever stayed with at one time."
I pulled her closer "What do you mean?"
She blushed and tried looking away, but I caught her face with a hoof and pulled it back to me. She sighed "Well, I used to be a….flick."
I knew what she meant, but I wanted her to be more open about it "What do you mean flick? You're a beautiful mare, and anypony who's not willing to see that...they're just blind to the trume meaning of love and affection."
She looked down at the ground then back up to me "I was always the kind of mare to rush ahead and get involved in relationships without ever thinking about it. Gilda was only with me for sex. That relationship only lasted a month at most. I dated another guy from Canterlot who seemed to enjoy taking advantage of me. No matter how much I wanted to spend time with him, he always ended up doing something to me that…I'm not the same mare since."
My heart melted a little "Dash, I promise you that I won…."
I was interrupted by her planting her lips against mine. I closed my eyes knowing that I could trust this mare with anything…after all she was my fiancée.
"Twix," she broke the kiss. "You're the only colt who has ever carried me to bed, who has ever cared about me to an extent I told them about my childhood...Twix, you're the only colt who has ever tried spending real time with me, but it's sad that everything we do together, always gets interrupted...But I guess if something does get messed up by something, I'm glad I'm doing it with you."
I looked down at the ground, thinking... Staring into the grass I saw a tiny piece of littered plastic. I just stared at it, a bit of rubbish in such a wonderful place, one small thing can harm so much. It's just like humans, they're sorrounded by forests and oceans...but they ruin it, they spoil their own beauty...but not like Equestria. This one piece of plastic is just a reflection of Dash and I. Sorrounded by gergous trees, lush green grass and friendly ponies everywhere. I smiled and looked at Dash "I honestly can't believe how stunning you truly are," I smirk as she blushes "your eyes, just glow in my heart while your looks keep drawing me in," she looks at me and smiles "you're one beautiful mare, Rainbow Dash. I love you."
She leaned in and kissed me on the neck, her main just rested against my chin as we sat, facing the Everfree Forest, not caring about the world around us.
"Twix," she whispered "I love yo-"
"Sunflower Twix!" a loud voice echoed throughout the opening, I turned around... Of fuck off.
