Chapter 50 - Gabby Gums

Onyx looked at the slowly completing book and realized that he only had two left. He sighed as he left the library and was surprised that his Magic was even looser than before. 'I guess every chapter is making my magic better and better.'

Onyx slowly started testing his Magic and was happy that he had roughly ¾ his Magic back under his own control and slowly started laughing before looking at the ceiling and looked out the window towards the sky and winced. 'Still, the sun and brightness are hurting me but not as much before.'

Onyx was wondering how well his opposite was doing before snickering. 'I wonder what he is going to call himself? Maybe something like Thungni… no way he would take that name. It would be highly messed up but didn't Thungni have a kid if I remember right, or maybe I am wrong because I do not know here, I heard that information?'

As Onyx made his way down the stairs, he heard Pinkie humming away extremely high-pitched. Before he made it to the bottom of the stairs, he felt something touch his house wards and caused him to investigate the distance in surprise. "What the hell was that?"

---Inside of Onyx's heads---

He snorted at Onyx's thought process and could not help but snicker that Onyx thought he would name himself after one of the Runesmiths from that land. As he spoke out loud to himself and named himself for the first time. "Asmund after the rune maker from Onyx's previous life Asmund Karesson."

Asmund felt something touch him, most likely Harmony magic, and smiled as he looked around him. He knew what was most likely happening and decided to give his thanks. "Thank you for welcoming into the world honored Magic."

---Onyx house---

Onyx slowly walked into the kitchen and watched, surprised that Rarity was also there and singing with Pinkie. "What on earth are you doing here so early, Rarity? Also, I am surprised that Applejack is not here."

Rarity smiled at Onyx, leaving Pinkie to finish up breakfast. "I had to get out of the house for a little bit. Sweetie Belle is staying over, and you know how she is Onyx."

Onyx nodded his head and smiled at Rarity and was surprised that she was hugging him surprisingly tight. "Are you alright, Rarity?"

"My parents are staying with me right now." Rarity complained out loud with a false woe-is-me tone of voice. "Would you be willing to allow me to stay over until they go on another trip? They think I can take care of her, so they are selling their house and are starting to take longer and longer trips."

Onyx was surprised because it sounded like her parents were giving up on Sweetie Bells, which was extremely weird. "Rarity, what is going on with your parents because? That is really strange."

Rarity smiled up at Onyx with a watery smile. "My parents have a problem with responsibility, and you know it was rare for them to go on trips, but now it has gotten much worse."

Onyx was confused because that was not normal at all for ponies. He was trying to think about if there was a mental disease or condition before remembering the Anti-Social was technically a thing that caused ponies to become farther and farther apart and leave the herd that is Equestria. "Are they falling, Rarity?"

Rarity had slight tears in her eyes as she realized what Onyx was really asking and smiled at him teary-eyed. "Yeah, they are falling into becoming more and more Anti-Social tendencies. Onyx and I can not stop it, and I think the only reason they were not before is that they had children in their home but now that I can take care of Sweetie Belle… I do not know what do Onyx?"

Onyx rubbed Rarity's back and could not help but sigh because it was looking like Rarity has always known that her parents had been falling deeper and deeper into a hole. "Rarity, it is going to be fine, I promise."

Pinkie watched and looked at Onyx and smiled at him, comforting Rarity, and could not help but sigh in sadness that her herd mate was slowly losing her family into the Anti-Social tendencies. "Is there anything we can do to help her family because I know ponies that fall into Anti-Social tendencies slowly stop considering other Ponies and the community?"

Onyx sighed because there was no real reason for the Anti-Social to exist, but it was a problem that slowly broke Ponies' minds. It was not Filth, and it was not Chaos. There was no explanation on what caused a pony to become Anti-Social, and there was no way to tell if a pony would become one. The reason there was no way to tell was because it was an insidious thing that caused ponies to become more and more withdrawn, and even then, the most outgoing of ponies could fall to it while someone who was already withdrawn would be fine. As he slowly patted Rarity's back, he spoke to Pinkie. "Pinkie, you know as well as I do that there is no real way to save a pony that has fallen into the Anti-Social. There is not even a known reason why Ponies slowly fall into it, not even in the Rune Society."

Pinkie nodded, not at all surprised that this was such a problem that no one knew what was going on with it. Rarity cuddled herself in her boyfriend's arms and sighed in happiness. "What about Sweetie and I. Will we be affected by this at all?"

Onyx shook his head and smiled at her, and kissed her cheek. "You will be fine, and you can stay over tonight, and any night you want to."

Rarity nodded and gently pulled herself out of Onyx's arms and pulled plates out so they could enjoy the food.

---Time Skip---

Onyx sat in the cakes bakery reading the new things' Gabby Gums' was saying and could not help but snort in laughter at the way the girls were acting about what was printed. "This is a gossip column pretty much."

Rarity was reading and was shocked to see her diary along with her thoughts about Onyx and whatnot being printed for all to see. "How on earth did this Gabby person get my diary. There are things in there essential to my work."

Rarity flipped through many pages, making sure there was nothing there about her work, and sighed in happiness. Before blushing about some of her thoughts about her hardship with the girls. "At least none of my work is on here, and I truly mean about my writing about the hardship girls."

Pinkie and Applejack smiled as they read that Rarity was quite happy and that, yes, there were a few problems, but they each had a couple of things they did not like about each other. "Onyx?"

Onyx slowly read about what was printed about him and could not help but snort. The 'Gabby Gums' think that he was an extremely withdrawn pony and that I was probably a pony with mental problems. "This is hilarious because they got the withdrawn part, but I am not really having many problems mentally."

The girls snickered about Onyx's portion and realized that he is not really withdrawn. He just enjoys family time more than anything else. Twilight looked at Onyx and smiled at him. "Can we talk in private, Onyx?"

Onyx nodded and started walking off with Twilight while his herd mates watched them leaving Fluttershy and Rainbow. Applejack looked at the two of them. "How is the relationship with Comet Rainbow?"

Rainbow smiled happily. "Everything is going excellent, and I am trying to get Fluttershy to join me in a relationship with Comet."

Fluttershy slowly lowered herself into a crouch hiding her face from everyone. Pinkie smiled at the shutting down Fluttershy. "And how is that going, Rainbow?"

Rainbow sighed as well, looking down at the Fluttershy that is currently freaking out. "Surprisingly enough, great Comet is open to it, and Fluttershy and him are having their first date in a few days that is why she is acting like that."

After she had finished reading, Rarity quickly put down the newspaper showing that she had not been paying attention. "I have to do something at home, girls. I will see you later."

The 4 remaining girls watched Rarity leave quickly in surprise before the other two went back to teasing Fluttershy. Pinkie smiled down at her. "Finally, you have found a relationship, Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy nodded her head and watched them interact and could not help but smile. She spoke up, sounding extremely shy. "I trust Big Mac, Onyx, Comet."

The girls nodded their heads and smiled at Fluttershy because it looked like Fluttershy would never make an attempt at a relationship. "Well, we are all rooting for you, Fluttershy. You know that, right?

Fluttershy nodded her head and smiled at them before peering at Rainbow. "Thank you, Rainbow, for helping me and inviting me into your relationship."

---Onyx and Twilight---

Onyx watched as Twilight led him to a seating area so they could have a talk in private. He could not help but slowly plan out his money if she was going to be asking what he thought and could not help but sigh. 'I have just enough money to make this relationship to work, and I can support each of them and have enough left over for courtship gifts. I would love to take Fluttershy, but I just do not have the money right now to support each of the girls I am currently dating and Twilight.'

As Onyx walked up behind her and saw the prepared booth, and sat down across from her. He watched as she fidgeted and could not help but sigh while watching her. "Everything will be alright, Twilight. Just speak your mind, alright."

Twilight nodded her head and flattened her outfit out. She slowly opened her mouth and slowly explained. "I have Spoke to the three girls, and they have agreed that they would be willing to allow me to join your herd. If your offer is still you know on the table?"

Onyx was about to answer before he felt magical eyes on him before they disappeared and realized that she might have told Celestia about what she was going to be asking. "I would love to have you, Twilight. When would you like to have our first date?"

Twilight took Onyx's hands into her own and could not help but smile at him. "Whenever we have time for it… I am not in a mega rush Onyx you know that."

Onyx nodded his head and kissed her hand, and smiled at her. "Let us move at our pace… I mean, Applejack likes a slow relationship while Rarity is all about the glamor and whatnot, and Pinkie is surprisingly moving faster than we expected."

---Canterlot---

Celestia Watched as her student and Onyx slowly formed her entry into his herd and could not help but smile before hearing Luna speak up behind her. "You know that this would be considered quite rude, Celestia."

Celestia looked at Luna and scowled playfully at her. "You and I both know that I am watching my student start her first real relationship."

Luna snickered and pushed Celestia magically and could not help but wonder. "If Onyx ascends, what is going to happen to the girls?"

Celestia could not help but grimace because that is a truth she had not thought about in a long time. "I try not to think about it, sister, you know that."

Luna nodded and sat next to her. "I wonder what the children would be like?"

Celestia blinked because neither she nor Luna had children, and they would not have any because they did not wish to watch them age and die on them. Celestia hummed and looked at Onyx. "If he ascends and they have children together would they be Alicorns or strong require ponies."
