i'm back... that's all there is to celebrate about. equestrias most beloved hero is back and stronger than ever. and apparently i'm the god of balance right now... so yeah, i've got that going for me right now. i haven't told anypony this yet for fear of their reaction... i might never tell anypony. i just plan on using my powers in a subtle way and help ponies out with my powers. i resolved to fix any problem big or small... after all the evil i've witnessed with scar i only wish to do good now... and i want everypony to be happy.

for a little bit i could tell my life was returning to normal... or at least as normal as my condition allows it to be. but i also knew that this wasn't going to last forever... there will always be problems in the future and i'm sure that my new powers will help out a great deal with those problems so that there are fewer consequences. but for now i'm at a party with my friends not only celebrating the death of scar but the return of me. technically i'm celebrating my own death along with being reborn... but i haven't told anypony i was scar yet... and i don't plan to, but i'm sure it'll come up at some point... all my secrets find a way of getting out.

i also came to the horrible conclusion that immortality might not be as cracked up as i thought it would be. i knew that there would be a point where me and dash would be sitting on our front porch enjoying the sunset, except dash will be 80 years old and be senile. and i'll be as young and full of energy as i am today. and that will go on and soon i'll watch my children grow old and die, along with their kids and on and on... and my friends too. this was an unsettling thought for me. but i tried to enjoy it as much as i could and i would keep my friends living as long as i could... but i can't save their souls when its their time.

for now i smiled and laughed as i enjoyed the party going on with my friends. all my friends were there, even mystee and her family were there and we caught up and it was a flurry of emotions. that what it was like meeting old friends. it started out as a flurry of happy emotions that subsided into just pure fun and joy as we enjoyed ourselves at the party. i got smiles and praises from all kinds of ponies and me and my friends including the princess all kept together and shared stories. i was mostly the one telling the stories about what it was like being dead... and that kind of stuff. they told me stories about their horrible experiences with scar even though i knew, i just acted like i didn't.

"we really missed you crimson..." said twilight.

"i missed you guys too." i said. "i'm just glad to be out of that hell... literally." they all laughed softly and i just chuckled a bit at my own clever joke.

"so crimson... you actually came back with good timing." said the princess. "not only did you make you're arrival at scars execution... but tomorrow is hearths warming eve."

"that can't be..." i said. "it's not looking like winter at all."

"yeah it has been strangely warm this winter." said dash. "the ponies at cloudsdale can't transport snowflakes without them melting... all we've had is rain here and there..."

we continued to discuss the weather and soon moved onto different subjects like what the others did while i was gone that didn't have to do with scar. they informed me that equestria has become the center of adventure and discovery. so now things have much more interesting, and are definitely going to change things for ever. i think it's about time something like this happened to equestria. i know ponies around here are very friendly and kind and there aren't too many problems, all the time. i can still fire off a few, this is the kind of jolt the world needs.

soon enough the party had started to die down and it was just a few of us left. me the princess, my friends, and even the head of the crimson order stayed. but her remained somewhat distant just standing off in the distance admiring me. i could help but noticed he kept staring. pretty much all the nameless ponies had left and it was just us now. we carried on our conversation for the rest of the night.

"crimson... can you stay here." said the princess. "i want twilight and the others to come with me for a second." and by others she meant the elements of harmony.

"of course." i said. she smiled and the seven of them got up and they followed the princess. dash gave me a big kiss before flying off to join them and they disappeared behind the door. soon it was just me and my other friends... thunder rush was there, mystee was here with jericco, the other half of her family wasn't here though. even black hoof was here too.

"it's great to have you back crimson." said black hoof.

"things just weren't the same without you." said mystee.

"next time you die make sure to tell us when you're coming back." said thunder punching me playfully in the arm. i just laughed a hearty laugh.

"i'll make sure to do that... and it's really great to be back..." i said.

"uhm... mr... mr. crimson blast." said a voice behind me. i looked back in confusion and saw the leader of the crimson order standing behind me with his head lowered as if he would be destroyed if he gazed into my eyes. "it's an honor to meet you face to face.". i just looked at him and chuckled a bit. this guy needs to chill out and not be so uptight around me... i'm not that kind of pony on the outside... though my new title easily demands it... but they don't know this yet.

"well i wouldn't call it face to face if you won't look up." i said. he seemed taken back by this. "i'm not going to smite you if you look at me... you can look up." i said. he looked up at me and i met his eyes and smiled. "see... now we can meet face to face..." i said. "i've heard much about you're order."

"it is an honor to fight in you're name." he said bowing a bit again but pulling his head up. "and i hope you don't mind if you keep fighting in your name."

"i don't mind." i said. he smiled and i just gazed back at him with my own smile. "but i have to ask... why must you fight in my name?" i asked. "why do you need a cause to fight for what's right... shouldn't you do that anyway."

"yes... you're right i'm sorry." he said.

"now why are you sorry... you haven't done anything wrong." i said. "i'm not going to undermine you're cause nor will i support it on my own time... i'm going to let you do whatever it is you would wish to do... just know that i'm flattered you would fight in my memory."

"yes... thank you." he said leaning his head down and walking away. he was a bit of a awkward pony. but i guess that can be expected when you meet you're personal hero. the guy was pretty funny and i didn't hold anything against him even though i had encountered many of his followers along my journeys as scar... but i'll just keep that in the past.

before i got back to my friends the room was suddenly lit up in a bright light. the bright flash didn't catch me off guard in the slightest but the same can't be said for the others. i looked over and there was a small spark which burst into a small nova blast of flames. the flames subsided to reveal an alicorn. i knew who it was... the fiery hair was enough of a dead give away. it was nightflame. upon seeing him i smiled and he looked around and scoured the room.

"where is that tricky bastard." he said. it didn't take him long to set his sights on me and smile. in a burst of fire he teleported over to me and gave me a hug. i just smiled and hugged back. he let go and sat down with the rest of us. "sorry i'm late for the party... took me a few tries to get here."

"it's good to see you nightflame... how's it been for you." i asked.

"good." he said. "it's better seeing you crimson..." he said. "i'm sure you've heard this from literally everypony but, i missed you... had me scared for a while there..." he said. he started to laugh a bit and try and talk through his laughter. "you... you should have seen my face when i heard you were alive... oh god i wish i could have seen my face." he was laughing his ass off and i let out a soft laugh too.

"been up to any trouble lately?" i asked.

"no... i've been all around... in fact i'll be in canterlot staying with celestia for a while so we can get together every now and then." he said.

"sounds like fun..." i said. "but i think i'm going to take it easy for a while." i replied. "after half a year in hell i think i could sleep for a week." the others laughed and i chuckled a bit with them. before i could make another comment or remark there was a small puff of green smoke next to derek and a little scroll fell to the floor. we all looked at it in confusion as derek picked it up. he read over it and smiled.

"who's it from?" asked mystee.

"it's from red wing... he said he can't make the party because he's caught up with something but he sends his regards... and also he apologies again for throwing that knife into you're neck." said thunder rush. i just laughed a bit.

"next time you see him just tell him not to do it again..." i said.

"i'll make a note." said derek. we laughed a bit and continued our conversations and had more fun and laughs. i did notice it was taking celestia and the others a while to talk or whatever it is they were doing. i wonder what they could possibly be doing.

To my surprise the next thing I saw was celestia and the other six walking back into the room smiling. I looked back at them smiling. They walked over and they all sat down around us. I could tell they were up to something and I think I knew what it was. And by the floating box behind celestia which she was trying to hide I had to guess they had something for me. Even though I knew I acted normal anyway.

" crimson we have a surprise for you." Said twilight smiling. The others spread out and dash walked over and sat down with me again. It felt a bit awkward being at least two feet bigger than her but I could fix that later. Right now I just want to be with my friends.

" how can you possibly have a present for me?" I asked. " later today you thought I was dead." The others laughed a bit.

" we know... I was planning on awarding this to you after the wedding... I did plan for it to go... Nonviolently... If I should say"said celestia. She levitated the box from out behind her and it flew over to me. I managed to grab it with a white magical aura which emanated from nowhere and held it up to my head. It was a long golden box that was well decorated with sun designs and other patterns. It was also jewel encrusted and very ornate.

I opened it up to reveal a sword. It was the most golden and beautiful sword I've ever seen. It had a golden hilt with a bright shining blade... Literally the blade gave of pure white light. The hilt was decorative and ornate. It was golden and jewel encrusted. It was spiked like a sun and the blade was long and sharp. I looked at it and smiled brightly. It was a beautiful sword and probably one of a kind.

" this is a beautiful sword..." I said.

" it was my fathers..." Said celestia... Her fathers. Everypony in the room seemed a bit disgruntled at the statement but hid it pretty well.

" your father?" I said.

" yes..." She replied. " me and my sister never knew him... I can't remember what he looks like anymore...after Luna was born he just seemed to stop existing. And when we where old enough our mother soon seemed to stop existing too... We were alone."

" that sounds rough... I don't think I can really relate." I said

" don't worry about it..." Said celestia. " me and my sister at both at peace with their passing." I just smiled lightly and she did too. I closed the case to the box and set it down at my side. We all continued with our little conversations and catching up. It wasn't too long that princess Luna had appeared and she was happy to see me too.

We all sat together and talked about different things. My friends helped me catch up on what was new and what their lives have been like since I was gone. I had known to an extent but it was good to know what was happening. After a while it had started to get late and twilight decided that we should all go home. I looked at dash and smiled.

" ready to go home." I asked. She smiled and gave me a little kiss on the nose which made me chuckle a bit. I looked at the others. " I can teleport us all home from here." I said. " Is that alright." I asked looking at the others.

" that would be nice." Said twilight. The others soon agreed.

" just warp me to the bar we usually go to." Said thunder rush. I first recognized the bar to be the one I went to when I was scar and I knew the place. I can already remember where the others live and I concentrated on those places. You would think it would be hard to concentrate on eight places at once but I found it all too easy. And in a flash and a short boom we were gone from the castle in canterlot.

There was another flash and me and dash both teleported to the front of our house. There were a few black clouds and lightning struck down where we teleported to. In another flash we became solid and soon enough we were at the house. I looked at the house and smiled at the old sight. It was a really nice sight to see after such a long time. I looked at dash who seemed a bit disoriented. She was a little dizzy but i gave her a big kiss on the top of her head and it set her straight. She smiled and looked at me and we both looked at out house.

" you would think with my title and wealth we would be living in a huge castle like celestia." I said. Dash giggled a little and smiled.

" that would make sense... But what on earth would we do with a huge castle... I can't even imagine what celestia does all day in the empty castle..." Said dash.

" I can't argue with that... A big castle would be too lonely looking... I'm just glad I have a nice big house to share with my family."I said. Dash looked over to me and I looked at her. She smiled and went over to kiss me. She couldn't reach up to me so I had to lean down and give her a kiss back.

" you need to stop growing..." She said." You'll get too big for the house... Again" she was right... I was stiller try big... I guess now would be a good time to fix that.

" yeah... Hold on." I said. I concentrated for a second and I started to grow smaller and smaller until I was just half a foot above her height... Much better. Everything was still proportional...I was just smaller now. She looked at me with awe and then smiled. "There... How's that?" I asked. She leaned over and she could reach up and kiss me now.

" much better." She said smiling. I laughed a bit and we walked over to the house we walked over and I got to the door. As I reached over and opened the door I couldn't help but wounded how excited my kids would be. I'm sure dawn isn't really a baby anymore and Is probably just a young filly at this point. And scoots will definitely be excited about seeing me. I turned the knob and pulled open the door letting dash inside first.

" kids I'm home... I've got a surprise." She said... She made me smile. I could hear the slight sound of little hoofsteps as a small filly with a mane similar to the sunset ran out into the hall. It was my little baby Dawn and she was adorable. She wasn't in diapers anymore and she seemed to be walking around normally. She should be four years old now if I'm not mistaken. She had an excited and ecstatic look on her face.

And quickly behind her ran an orange filly with purple hair. It was scootaloo my other daughter. Even though she is adopted I don't like to see it that way. She had the same ecstatic look on her face too. They both ran out into the hallway to see me and dash standing there. They stopped and looked confused for a second. But then I could see scootaloo smile and well up with tears.

"DADDY!" She shouted out as she quickly sprinted over to me. I let out a playful laugh and leaned down to pick up my daughter. I sat down as dash closed the door and held my daughter who clung to me as tight as she could. She was crying with tears of joy and they where staining my coat. I just smiled and hugged her.

"Daddy..." Said little dawn running over and crawling up me. She was so adorable and innocent. I laughed again and picked her up. She didn't have tears in her eyes like scootaloo but she hugged me and smiled nonetheless. She was too young and innocent to understand what happened. But scoots was old enough to know what went on... She knew I had died... Technically.

" I thought you were gone forever." Said scootaloo.

" I love you and your sister too much to leave you alone forever." I said. She cried a bit more and hugged me. I just smiled and held her tight for as long as I needed to. It wasn't long though until dawn had fallen asleep in my arms and scootaloo as well had cried herself to sleep. It was late after all and dashed ably woke them up... But seeing as how they ran into the hall with a lot of energy suggested that they were staying up late.

I smiled and stood up holding them in my wings. I carried them off to their bedrooms. I went into scootaloo's room and set her down in her bed and pulled the covers over her. Dash watched with a smile on her face. I have her a kiss on the forehead and left the room. I did the same with dawn.

She no longer needed to sleep in a crib and had a room just like scootaloo's except the walls were painted like the sunset and the bedding was a bit more subtle when it came to color. Scootaloo's room was a very girls room with stuffed animals dolls and pink everywhere. I didn't mind though... She was my daughter and I didn't care how she expressed herself. I laid dawn in her bed and gave her a kiss too. I pulled the covers over her and flicked the lights off.

I walked out of the room to see dash smiling and giving me a sexy look. I walked over to her and nuzzled up to her. She giggled and we both walked up to our room. The bed was still pretty big from the last time I slept in it. We both crawled into bed and dash snuggled up to me. I looked at her and she smiled.

" I love you..." I said.

" I know... I'm glad that you're back... I never gave up hope that you would come back." Said dash.

" I promise that things are going to be different now... I'll make sure everything is alright..." I said.

" I know you promise that... And you always keep your word... You said we would meet again and you were right."

"i don't know how you put up with me." i said chuckling. she just laughed and rubbed her snout against mine and we shared a smile

"it isn't easy..." she said. "i'm just glad dawn is old enough to finally function on her own and scootaloo watches her with her friends... it really lets a load off my back."

"well i'm here to help... just ask." i said.

"could you try you're best not to leave for long periods of time." she said playfully and batting her eyelashes. i just laughed and she smiled.

"i'll do my best..." i said. "in fact next time i go on a super important quest i'll take you and the kids."dash just laughed and nudged me on the shoulder.

"like hell i'll let you drag my kids into one of you're crazy adventures." she said.

"oh so they're you're kids." now i said pulling her closer and nuzzling my head in her mane making her laugh.

"yes they're my kids..." said dash. "you left for two years and then died." she said. i burst out laughing.

"hey... the two years wasn't my fault... and i have a good reason for dying." i said. she just laughed and i chuckled a bit too. we just laid there and i held her close as we shared a smile.

"so what are you going to do now?" asked dash... that was a good question that not even i could answer.

"i don't know... i guess tomorrow is hearth's warming eve somehow... i guess we're going to celebrate that..."

"yeah... twilight said she was going to have a party at her house... she had that planned in advanced but then she got kidnapped by scar... so i'm not sure if she's keeping those plans."

"we can stop by tomorrow"i think its time to get some sleep now." i said. she just hummed in agreement. i smiled and rested my head on the pillow and hugged dash. i closed my eyes as well and slowly drifted off. i slowly slipped away into the darkness of sleep and soon i was in my own world of dreams and fantasies... though when you living a life like mine there is a very thin line between fantasy and possibility. there isn't much difference between what's impossible and what's not for me.

then again, nothing's impossible...
