I was standing on the balcony of which I first encountered Twilight. I was looking up at the certainly beautiful night made from one of the princesses. Pinkie Pie perked up immediately after I fixed the book for her. Twilight was also happy. She said she could have fixed the book as well if Pinkie told her right away. She said something about learning to ask or tell someone what you did and if it was bad or not. Then Twilight said she needed to write a letter to Celestia about learning that. She must be studding something to do with friendship, but I was to busy thinking to ask. Me and the whole group except Pinkie started to walk back to the library to put the book back. Pinkie said she needed to get something ready for me. I didn't know she wanted to throw a party for me. Me and the five friends arrived to the library with a stunning surprise of a party already set up. I will never understand the physical impossibilities this pink one could manage.
The party was still going on inside the hollowed out tree house. I partied a little bit enjoying the music and tasting some of Pinkie's treats she had made for the party, again with a surprising speed that I could not even do. I decided I should go and see what a beautiful night on this planet looked like. As soon as I looked up, I was stunned with beauty. Stars all aligned and placed in what seemed to be mystic signs. The moons full glow and stunning shadows across it made me gasp. This princess Luna was simply ingenious with her nights. I will have to find the time to see if I can meet the royal sisters.
I could not focus on the real problem here on this planet. I have helped the six friends and fixed the book, but something was keeping me here in their dimension. Usually once I complete the job, I am able to go back to my sanctuary and meditate. Something was keeping me here. Something, or someone...
I hear the glass door behind me open and turn to the noise. Twilight walked through and smiled to greet me. I smile to show I am okay. I know she is smarter than that.
“Assistant, what's wrong?”, She said tilting her head in a sympathetic manor.
I sigh and turn up to look at the beauty of the night. I take a deep breath before speaking.
“Something is wrong. I am not supposed to be here. I should be back at my sanctuary waiting for my next job. Something is keeping me here, but I don't know what.”
She walks over to me and sits by my side looking up with me.
“Is it really bad that you have to stay some more and make friends?”
I look down at the now smiling pony with intent in her eyes. She wanted me to stay and become her friend. That I could see, but the price of that on my conscious was to heavy. I sigh.
“I wish I could stay, but the longer I stay, the more I grow attached to places. And worse, attached to friends.”
I look back up to think of my next response when I was interrupted by a bouncing pink pony.
“Grow to attached to friends!? Never! You can never have to many friends!”, Pinkie said as she bounced through the open door.
I look over to her as she comes through the door with a smile across her face. I feel sorry for myself that I can never feel the same way as the pink one. She was almost always smiling, unless she loses a friend or disappoints one. I also fear that if I stay to long, I will make this one depressed from my departure in the future.
“I can't stay to long. I need to leave so I don't leave a huge impact on your lives. I could hurt you like it does me to leave a friend behind.”
I look down to the wooden deck and think.
“I need to talk to the boss. It is the only way to find out why I am still here...”
“I am sorry but I need to be alone right now.”
With those words, I teleport to the open fields where I arrived in the first place on this planet.
I start to meditate in the middle of the open fields finding the openness and gentle breeze of the wind calming and helped me concentrate. I focus on my sanctuary where it would be easiest to find him. I looked all over in my head for what seemed like hours before giving up. I decided to see if I could sense his unique energy near by. I clench my fists in my folded arms and intensify my thinking. I see no sign of his energy near by or far away.
“I don't get it! He should be not this hard to find! Where is he!”
“Right behind you...”
I am shocked at the sudden voice and fall to the ground again. I look around quickly to see my boss standing right behind me and looking down upon me. He stood at over seven feet tall and had a very deep noble voice. He wore a white cloak that surrounded his entire body. The only thing visible was his head. He had long flowing white hair and a beard to match. His face was one of absolute knowledge and experience with many ridges and brows. I quickly get up and bow at his presence. He replies with a simple nod.
“M-master! What are you doing here!?”
“I am here to answer your question.”
I look back up from my bowing position and realize he has accepted my greeting. I stand straight and begin to speak.
“Right. Well master, I don't understand why I am still in this dimension! Why do you leave me here?”
He smiles as he quickly answers the question.
“To finally teach you to find your inner peace.”
I was stunned at this. Learn my inner peace here? In this happy go lucky pony world!? His smile remains as I look up confused by his words.
“How? Why here?”
He looks over the vast fields scanning them for some reason unknown to me. Then he speaks.
“This place is a planet based on the love and kindness towards others. You have shown that you can make friends with the six most known for being friends. Now you must learn what it means to let go.”
“Let go!? What does that have to do with peace!?”
“You will see in time. When you find it, you may return to your sanctuary. Farewell.”
With those words, he disappeared in a big white cloud of smoke and left me alone to just regret what he had said.
“WAIT! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!”
It was to late. My master had left me here to find peace. How could I find peace if it involved friends? He knows that I can't make friends or it will leave me in a slump for more than time itself can count. I just sigh as usual for I cannot argue with my boss. He was wise and always knew the best. I guess I will have to try and enjoy my time here as much as possible.
I arrive back at the library where the friends were still partying strong. I just stared at the house before I entered through the front door, ducking to fit. The six ponies who were dancing stop as I enter.
“Where did he go?”, Rainbow questioned.
“I don't know. Lets ask.”, Twilight answered.
The six ponies trotted over to where I was standing and surrounded me. They were all wonder what I was thinking. I just looked at each one of them to see what they were thinking. Twilight walked over to me and out her hoof on my leg.
“Where did you go?”
I look down at her with my same glum expression as I sigh.
“To talk to my master.”
I look away from the pony and at the others. They seemed to be curious about this “boss” of mine. Not much to tell about him to them. Just an older taller version of me, but at peace where I was still chaotic in my head and body.
“What did he have to say?”, Rarity questioned.
I look over to the fashion pony and answer her question.
“He said I have to stay here until I find my inner peace. I don't know how long that will be, but I hope not to long.”
Rarity looked more sympathetic as I realized she didn't know I didn't have a home to go to after this. I look away from her as I focus on the next pony with a question.
“What in the hay is inner peace?”, Applejack asked me.
I look to my right at the cow-pony with her stetson hat.
“It is when I finally accept myself for who I am and what I do.”
She looked down like Rarity earlier as Pinkie Pie intervenes.
“You haven't accepted yourself for who you are?”, She asked looking in disbelief at me.
I look a little right of Applejack to lock eyes with the pink pony.
“No. This job is to sacrificing on my feelings and friends I make. It only makes me hurt when I leave them.”
She looked down as her hair deflated a little from the answer.
“It is really that bad?”, Rainbow asked.
She was flying over Pinkie with a weary expression and tired looking eyes.
“Yes. I haven't learned to let go of those lost. I have to learn that here somehow.”
Rainbow still kept her expression as she descended a little from her previous position.
“That's so sad.”, Fluttershy said.
I look over to the small yellow Pegasus. I could do nothing but nod at her statement.
Then something happened. Something I will never forget. They all hugged me. Ever single one of the six closest friends in this dimension hugged me. I was at first shocked by there quick actions towards me, but I quickly settled down. Then they all spoke at once.
“Don't worry Assistant...”, Fluttershy began,
“We will help ya...”, Then Applejack,
“Find your inner peace...”, Then Rarity,
“And be your friend...”,Then Pinkie,
“And you will see...”, Then Rainbow,
“Friends are the meaning of everything!”, Twilight finished.
I was stunned by there speech. It almost seemed unreal the way they said it, but they meant every word of it. I just look down and smile at the six ponies. They are defiantly the meaning of true friends. I began to get teary eyed from there actions toward me. As they depart from my body, I look at each one and give them a warm welcoming nod. Each one smiled as I look at each one. I then walk over to where the balcony lies and step out. Each pony looked confused as I did this. I sit down and begin to meditate. I look up to the stars. Each one looking as beautiful as the last. In my head I think of the possibilities I can do on this planet. All the adventures. I look back at the six ponies who are now crowding the door. I smile as I say the words I mean the most.
“These are going to be the best moments of my life!”
(This is not the end. It is the beginning :D )
