Chapter 1

"Yui," I said softly, opening my eyes to the bright, pastel-like sky above my head. "Uh?" I blinked, and looked around, my neck all stiff and my body hurting all over. I laid on the back of a grassy plain, with trees stretching high towards the sky, as far as I could see.

I blinked again, and then tried to stand up, only for my hooves to fail me and send me tumbling downwards in a comical way. I rolled down the hill, and growled softly as I landed in a heap near a river of water.

"Yui," I snarled with a bit of an angrier tone, gazing flatly at my reflection in the water.

I received no reply.

Of course. Why would I?

I exhaled loudly, and shook my head as my mane fluttered in the breeze.

I was lacking a light saber.

I was utterly devoid of the powers of the Force.

This felt like the start of a second season of pokémon, where Ash Ketchum forgets about having super-pokémon and drops them at Oak to get new ones.

"If I end up with the powers of friendship and love," I remarked dryly, "I will burn the universe down."

I looked up at the pastel-colored sky. "If you can hear me, Yui, know that I will make you pay for this."

I received no reply.

I wobbled back on my feet and sighed, giving a last look-over at my form. Traveling through dimensions wasn't really all that difficult. Finding a way back home, on the other hand, was. There were just 'so' many dimensions, you know? But by that same logic, out of infinite dimensions, the one where 'I' was missing had to be out there.

However to find it, there was a bit of a complicated process involved, even for a highly intelligent Artificial Intelligence powered by Black Holes like Yui was, 'Higher Being' and all that included, she still needed time, a time that stretched towards infinity.

So, in the meantime, I had time to spend idly by. The 'Limbo' dimension wasn't that bad, mind you, but it just didn't have what I-

"You're just running away from Elsa's feelings, Shade," Yui beeped from the air around me.

"So you are listening in on my thoughts," I snarled back.

"Who? Little innocent young me? Tee-Hee-Hee~"

"Don't you Tee-Hee-Hee me," I snapped. "Well? You're not coming?"

"It's going to take me a long time to find out your specific 'home' dimension, Shade. Just go and have fun while I look through it. Think of it as rediscovering your roots."

I began to trot by the river's side. "And you couldn't give me my lightsaber back?"

"How am I going to find out where the hell you come from if you [Annul] everything? But don't worry, you aren't really powerless. I just toned your power down a bit. As the God-Author would say, 'This is just to keep things interesting'."

"Yeah, he'd say that, wouldn't he?" I snapped dryly. "Can you tell him to go die in a molten lava pit?"

"He probably heard that," Yui said. "But think of the readers' feelings, Shade."

"I am," I replied softly. "That's why I'm keeping the insults clean."

Objective Found.

My hooves, damn it, I wanted legs and feet and arms and hands, took me across a nice stretch of land before I finally grumbled out, "Why am I not in human form?"

"You'd scare the ponies," Yui disembodied voice came through the side of my ear. "And you don't want to scare the poor ponies, right?"

"Ponies," I grumbled. "Why ponies?"

"Why not?" Yui said. "Friendship, Love, Happiness, Cheerful Hugs and everything nice. I say you needed a vacation, and what better way than spend it in a place where you cannot absolutely f.u.c.k things up?"

"Woah. Such Trust. Much Faith. So Happy."

"Stop being Doge-Like, Shade. It doesn't suit you."

I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not even an Unicorn," I said dryly. "Or a Pegasus."

"You'd zap things, or conjure clouds to zap things," Yui replied. "This way, the worst you can do is...kick things."

I sighed. "I'll let you know I wouldn't zap things."

"You're the one who went lightsaber-ish murderous the last time."

I sighed once more. "You use a lightsaber and force powers once, and they never let you hear the end of it."

"Fluff, happiness and everything nice, Shade. Can you do this, for me, this one time?" Yui pleaded through my...let's call it 'earphone' even though there wasn't actually one.

"Fine," I said. "Happiness and everything nice."

"By the way, you're going in the wrong direction," Yui said.

I emitted a half-strangled curse to the heavens and turned around.

"No, you need to cross the river to reach Ponyville."

"Yui," I said calmly, gazing at the river. "You're not seriously telling me-"

"Come on, the river's not even very deep."

"Yui."

"Shade."

"Yui."

"Shade."

"Yui!"

"I can always bring Elsa over-"

"I'm going," I said quickly, trotting back to take a running start and then rushing ahead, the entire thing instinctive -at least I had to thank Yui for that- before sailing through the air and landing on the other side.

"What should I say when she comes over? 'Sorry, but in order to avoid answering your feelings, he went on a journey across the Multiverse again?'"

I took a deep breath as I squared my shoulders -horse or pony shoulders- and kept trudging forward, on the cobblestone road in front of me.

"Tell her I'm busy fixing the causality around the universes, that should work."

I heard Yui sigh. "So, jargon-talk some nonsense to tell her it's a very important thing? Basically, ignore the issue and hope it goes away, Shade?"

"Indeed!" I said with a light nod of the head.

"Never change, Shade, never change."

I bristled. "I changed a lot, I'll let you know. For one thing, I'm no longer scared."

"Course you aren't. I'm here to keep an eye on you, there's no way you'd be scared with my tremendous powers at your disposal."

"And secondly, this is My Little Pony," I quipped. "The worst that can happen here is solved the next episode with a hug...I think."

"Your favorite place to be then!"

"Yui, sarcasm doesn't suit you."

"I am just another form of you, Shade. So yes, it does suit me."

Apply Logic.

I g.r.o.a.n.e.d. "Why are you making me remember that!? Can't we talk about something else?"

Yui hummed. "I think I'll go back to crunching out thousands of billions of numbers. You need a hand, just cry out my name like 'By the Power of Yui! Heed my call, supreme and beautiful being of knowledge and power!'."

"IF you think-"

"Sorry, you haven't used the proper invocation, Yui-Chan is currently unavailable for comment."

I grumbled. You give power to an AI, and this is what happens after giving them the internet. Never give an Ai access to the internet, or it will turn them rotten.

I remained quiet as I finally saw the start of the 'Pony' village. It was at the end of the road, and everything looked cartoony enough to make the bile in the back of my throat start to rise, if slightly.

I wasn't different from the majority of ponies, actually. The mane was a dark shade of grey, my eyes were brown, and looked haggard by the side as if I suffered from sleep-loss, and I apparently had a...'cutie' mark. It was a crimson lightsaber, but it looked more like a 'baton' the kind of which you find in the hands of traffic aides or the type used by people who have to guide airplanes in the airport.

Redefine Causality.

Well, I had to give it to Yui. Ponyville seemed pretty normal, all things considered, and since I wanted a vacation with happiness, fluff and everything nice tucked away in a corner, this wasn't all that bad. There was nothing wrong going on, and there were no screams, suffering, elder gods, or anything else. It was nice.

Sort of.

I was vaguely aware of the 'Hammer-Space' as it is called in nerd-jargon that seemed to be placed somewhere by my side that contained 'money' and 'stuff'. Yet, no lightsaber, because Yui didn't trust me with the blade of [Annulment] capable of removing reality and everything on its path.

Seriously Yui, you're no fun when you get pushy like a nagging mother.

A sudden shower sprayed on my entire body from above, and as I blew the wet mane off my eyes, I looked up and growled as a pony had apparently been pouring water on a few vases, and had aptly forgotten of people passing by below him.

Of course, that was Yui at work with her probability changes from the Limbo dimension.

I was so going to have words with her when I came back...meanwhile, the pony who had 'doused' me in water gasped and retreated abruptly, closing the windows behind her.

Restart In Progress.

As it was, I ended my nice, normal, vacation-like walk at a large building that worked as the town hall of the place. I stepped inside, trudged up a couple of steps, and came short of the mayor's desk, where the Mayor seemed busy behind it. There was no secretary of sorts, but again, Ponyville was more of a town than an actual city.

"Ahem," I coughed politely, trying to catch the mayor's attention and failing miserably at that.

"Ahem!" I coughed a bit louder.

That got the Mayor's attention, who dropped the parchment and looked up at me, with a puzzled look. "Oh my! May I help you?"

I inclined my head to the side and sighed. "I am Shade Neight," I growled my surname and felt the burning d.e.s.i.r.e to burn Yui to a stake, which soon passed as I remembered I was here for a vacation, a happy, fluffy, comedy filled vacation of friendship and happiness and burning people to the stake wasn't in the program...yet. "You should have received a letter about my arrival today?"

Hoping Yui did everything properly, of course.

"Of course, of course Mister Neight!"

"Shade, please," I replied dryly. If I heard my surname pronounced like that one more time, I'd swing my lightsaber-right, right, that explains why she didn't give me my lightsaber. Damn you, Yui. I want my lightsaber back, do you hear me?

"Mister Shade, I am Mayor Mare, nice to meet you," the Mayor replied. "I'll show you to your house immediately."

"You look busy, and I wouldn't want to impose-"

"Nonsense, young colt! These can wait," I just had to smile and let it be, then. I was the one who had insisted on going somewhere else, and Yui had found the perfect place to drop me, where even my angst-driven and hatred-filled self could not worsen things up.

I didn't know where or when exactly she had dropped me in the timeline of the show, but it didn't matter.

I just had to take a vacation, and everything would be fine.

A vacation away from the Limbo dimension, because I couldn't stand punching Cthulhu in the face one more time.

Really, how hard is it to remember taking the sleeping pills every new moon?

Detachment Start.

The blood drained from my face as I realized there were quite less pony hanging around Ponyville than I imagined. It was...clearly, it could only be one thing.

"There's a surprise party waiting for me at my home, perchance?" I asked offhandedly, as the Mayor skipped a couple of steps in shock.

"W-What brilliant idea! Ah! I do not know what made you think such a great-"

"Feigning ignorance will not work with me, Miss Mayor."

The Mayor looked sideways and coughed politely with a hoof to her face. "Could you please try to look surprised?"

"Of course," I dryly retorted. "Wouldn't want to hurt Miss Pinkamena's feelings."

"You know of her?" the Mayor asked, and I nodded grimly.

"She is quite...famous for her parties. I will live through this headache, provided it is the only one I have to suffer through."

"Certainly," Miss Mayor said. "I'll make sure to warn Miss Pie you do not wish to be disturbed."

"Shade!" Yui grumbled in the back of my head. "You've got to take it nice and easy and have a vacation! You can't act like an anti-social jerk from the get-go! Go out, have fun, go to parties!"

I will rip your spleen and feed it to the dogs, Yui.

"Shade, I know you don't really mean that," Yui replied with a giggle.

Try me.

Separate The Masses.

The house was a normal, pastel beige colored, house on one floor with a pair of windows, a small garden, and nothing more. It looked like the poster-card of coziness and peace and tranquility, and...and yet I dreaded the first step inside as the Mayor handed me the key...to turn into the key lock with my mouth, of course.

It wasn't really that difficult.

What was difficult was keep a straight face as I stepped inside, in the dark room, and wait.

Two seconds later, the Mayor turned on the lights.

One second later, after I barely had the time to gaze at the words 'WELCOME TO PONYVILLE, SHADE NEIGHT!' written on a large piece of cloth hanging from the ceiling, I was assaulted by loud noises, confetti, party-stripes and whatnot that somehow managed to cover me into them as Pinkie Pie emerged with a bright cheerful voice from behind a sofa, yelling at the top of her lungs.

"SURPRISE PARTY! HELLO! I'M PINKIE!"

Die in a forest fire, pink pony of hell and doom.

"Shade!" Yui chided me.

You can follow her fate, Yui.

I was lifted by strong hooves, Pinkie's hooves, and literally sent tumbling through a hundred and more presentations. I felt kind of sick by the time we were done, especially because I somehow ended up with a party hat, a cake in one hoof, and a party-flag in the other.

And my ears were being talked off by the never-ending stream of questions Pinkie seemed to be sending my way.

Defy His Will.

"I reckon ye can give the guy a breather, Pinkie," Applejack said, an amused expression on her face. "He hasn't gotten a word in yet."

Pinkie's eyes widened, and she quieted down and looked at me. "Oh gosh! I'm so sorry! You wanted to say something!?"

I looked at Applejack, and then at Pinkie Pie, and I nodded once. "Thank you for the party," I said calmly. "The cake look's nice, but I don't eat chocolate."

Pinkie literally disappeared with a 'OH MY GOSH!' and I blinked at the spot she had been a moment before. I was no longer holding the platter with a piece of cake in hand, so I reckoned she had gone...to bake another?

Applejack laughed nervously. "Pinkie's a bit excessive, hope yer not offended."

I shook my head. "I came prepared for this," I replied. "Her...fame is well known."

"Even in Canterlot?" Twilight Sparkle asked, coming in from the side of my vision. She had the unicorn horn and nothing else -not yet an Alicorn, then.

"Yes," I nodded. "Even there," I added with a sigh. "You are Miss Sparkle, am I right?"

I could do polite.

I always could do polite. Lacking a lightsaber, I could be the picture of politeness.

"Yes, Pinkie presented us," Twilight Sparkle replied.

"You oversee the library of Ponyville, correct?" I asked again, "I might be visiting it."

"Then I will be waiting," Twilight replied.

"Hey, you work with Pegasus?" Rainbow Dash asked, nearing me.

"Oh no, I'm a teacher," I replied with a small smile. "The Cutie Mark's not a light baton. It's a red marker."

"Yer the new teacher then!" Applejack said, thumping her hooves slightly on the ground. "That's what Applebloom was saying. Ye start next week!"

Refuse His Words.

I nodded, and smiled lightly. "What can I say," I said trying to keep my voice light. "I love teaching."

"You love traumatizing people to the point of breaking their minds. Now I dare you to traumatize kid ponies. I dare you to try that," Yui remarked with a triumphant tone. "We'll make a normal person out of you Shade, don't you worry!"

Yui, I am always willing to start a fire, and cook you over it.

The party dwindled down a few hours later, if with a brief spark of interest for Pinkie returning with a vanilla frosted cake without chocolate.

That was a good cake. Yep. That was a very good cake.

I concede the point that the cake was really, really good.

And Pinkie, always the party planner, also cleaned the place up before leaving with a cheerful goodbye.

I sighed and trotted towards the bed.

I had a dreadful day ahead of me, and it wouldn't do to go at it while sleep deprived.

The Project Shall Never Be Halted.

Vacation time...

Well, what could possibly go wrong?

I Shall Find The Answer.

Author's notes

...

I regret nothing.

I never did a proper 'Sequel' story after a 'Happily Ever After' so...why not?

There will be fun, happiness and much more, I swear!

Paranoia here I come, right right where we started from, paranoiaaa~
