Last Chapter:

"Alright, but don't think I won't completely let her go. I'm still looking after her." Midnight stated with a strong nod.

"Okay." Buttons said smiling.

Now:

Next Day: Maria yawned as she woke up, and stretched, before looking at Raiden and smiling. He was sleeping peacefully on the other bed, and that made Maria smile. She got out of bed, walked toward the table downstairs, and grabbed paper and pen. After writing a quick note, she left to go get some groceries.

Later: Maria smiled as she entered the market and walked around. There were more stuff on sale than usual, and that made her happy. Maybe she could try a new recipe? Suddenly she saw somepony familiar out of the corner of her eye, and smiled. It was Buttons, and this was certainly a first, considering Buttons usual slept in very late. Buttons saw Maria as well, smiled and walked toward her.

"Hey Maria." Buttons greeted before Maria could, and Maria smiled.

"Hey Buttons, how are you?" Maria questioned, and Buttons smiled.

"Good, how about you? Heard you meet a colt-friend?" Buttons asked, and Maria blushed.

"Um...y-yeah! Raiden is a really nice pony, but for some reason the others don't really like him." Maria said, her blush and smile fading away.

"Hm...hey Maria?" Buttons asked, making Maria look at her.

"Do you think I could come over, and meet him? You know, see what he's like for myself?" Buttons questioned, and Maria smiled.

"Sure, but you'll have to wait for me to call you. He's asleep at my house right now." Maria said, and Buttons face paled.

"What? He's...at your...house?" Buttons asked, dread overcoming her features.

'If Breeze find's out, she'll kill Raiden, and probably scold Maria for this!' Buttons thought, and Maria nodded innocently.

"Yeah, he got in a bad fight with Boom, and Breeze kicked him kinda hard, so he's resting up at my house." Maria explained, and Buttons sighed.

If Breeze found out about this, it would be horrible, but she would need to know either way, or find out hard. And that would put both Maria and Raiden in trouble with Breeze.

"Maria, are you sure that's a good idea?" Buttons questioned, making Maria look at her confused as they walked around the market, gathering food.

"What do you mean?" Maria asked.

"Well, I mean...it seems as though you barely know him. Your letting a stranger into your house, you don't know if he's evil or not, and from the way the others talk about him seem's as though this could go downhill fast." Buttons explained, and Maria sighed.

"Buttons, please don't be like the others." Maria said sadly.

"Well, shouldn't you at least let them know?" Buttons asked.

"No, and don't tell them. It'd be better for them not to know, at least...not until he continue's his journey." Maria said and walked off, leaving a worried Buttons at the market.

"If only she would understand they worry." Buttons said to herself, and walked away.

Later: Maria smiled as she walked in the house, and laid the groceries on the table, before she began cooking. Suddenly, somepony came up behind her, and wrapped their fore-hooves around Maria, making her gasp, and look behind her, only to see Raiden hugging her.

"Oh, hey Raiden." Maria said, and smiled at him as he smiled back.

"Hey, where were you?" Raiden asked, and Maria tilted her head a bit.

"You didn't read the note?" Maria asked, and Raiden looked at the table, before chuckling.

"I didn't think you left a note, and began reading books." Raiden admitted, and Maria giggled.

"That's alright, besides, I'm making breakfast. I'm sure you're hungry, so I'm making us something to eat." Maria said, and began cooking again.

Raiden smiled and watched her for a bit before going upstairs, and grabbing the book he was once reading. Before his eyes suddenly widened when he felt a wave from Maria.

'No, no, no! Not her!' Raiden thought, panic settling in.

He felt the love she was emitting, but for what reason? What pony did she love? He looked at her from over the railing of the upstairs room, and his face fell more. Whatever pony she was thinking of was making her happy. He sighed and flopped down on his side, on the bed he was using, and began reading the book again.

With Buttons: Snackpack watched with dread as Breezes' face went red with anger.

"HE'S WHAT?!" Breeze shouted, and Buttons sighed.

"He's living with her at the moment. I thought you would be calmer about this." Buttons said.

"You think I'd be calmer?! Buttons, he is in her house, sleeping under the same roof, possibly sleeping in the same bed!" Breeze said, and Buttons sighed, looking away.

"Well, what do you except we do? Trot in unannounced? Make her even more angry at us than she already is?" Buttons stated, and Breeze sighed, before slamming her hooves down.

"That's it, she crossed the line. I was gonna give Raiden a chance, but now he's living with her!" Breeze said, and opened the door, now that night had fallen.

"Breeze, you really are over-reacting." Buttons said, hoping Breeze would reconsider.

"No I am not. She could be in danger." Breeze said, and the three ponies ran to Marias' house.

With Maria: A bright green light flashed, and suddenly a black pony that looked a bit like a insect walked toward her. His shell was red, as were his wings, and his eyes. He had a dark grayish/black body, and a short gray mane and tail. His legs, mane and tail had holes in them.

'Even as a changeling, I still feel this feeling inside of me.' the changeling thought and sighed looking at Maria, a frown forming.

"What am I going to do? She loves somepony, but I'm feeding off it. Maria..." The changeling lowered his head with a sigh.

Suddenly the door at the front creaked open, and the pony gasped, before going into the bathroom to hide. He looked out through a crack, and gasped. What were Marias' friends doing here? Breeze looked around, before flying gently up to where the two beds were, and saw Maria, but not Raiden. She looked under both beds, and looked around, leaving the bathroom untouched. She flew down to the others, and sighed.

"Are you sure he's really here?" Breeze asked Buttons who nodded.

"Yes. Maria told me he was staying here until he began his journey again." Buttons said, and Breeze sighed.

"I wonder where he is then." Breeze said, and Snackpack sighed.

"Breeze, you are being overprotective, and this is proof. Being in her house without her permission, looking through things that aren't our business. It's just not right." Snackpack said, and Breeze glared at him.

"I won't let my friend be used like this. He might do something to her." Breeze said, but Snackpack sighed, and left with Breeze and Buttons.

"Seriously, we are all over-reacting. Let's give him a chance." Buttons stated, and everypony nodded.

"Yeah...your right. Sorry I got carried away. I'm just worried for her." Breeze said.

"We all are. We don't know what will happen next." Snackpack said, and they headed back to Buttons house.
Okay, so as we can see, Maria decided that Raiden will be staying with her from now on. And we now find out the truth. He's actually a changeling, but Maria doesn't know that, as she is asleep while he transforms back. Raiden hasn't transformed into a different pony because the pony Maria loves is Raiden, but Raiden doesn't know that. Besides, he's a very skilled Changeling, able to stay in his transformed state, and feed off somepony's love, while staying the way he is. The reason his shell is red.

Anyways, Raiden wanted to look at Maria through his actual eyes, not his ponies eyes, and see's that maybe he should leave, but he doesn't...obviously. The next chapter might be a bit more...intense.
