Once the introductions had been made, the Real Life Friends and the Mane Six, including a now recovered Spike, sat down together to discuss how they were going to advance. "So," Reggie began, "You have a princess that's coming here? Sweet."
Twilight nodded. "Two of them, actually."
"How did you contact them?" Nikolai asked, "E-mail?"
Spike shook his head, a coky smile onhis face. "That," he thumbed to himself, "is my job."
Rarity leaned to him and rubbed his head. "Isn't he just the most hardworking dragon you've ever seen?"
Sych's casual expression turned into a scowl as he stared death wishes at Spike, who nodded his head confidently. "Yep, I just breath some of my fire onto it and poof! The letter is sent directly to her, wherever she is." Sych humphed.
Al, ignoring Sych's satan-look, asked, "So when are they gonna get here?"
Twilight shrugged. "I don't know. She hasn't replied yet. She usually replies rather quickly. Must be a busy night at the castle..."
"Hm," Matt agreed. There was an awkward silence. Both sides looked at the other, except Sych, who still death-stared, waiting for them to continue their convorsation. Al could hear the grasshopers chriping outside and, in the distance, he thought he heard the dead-air wolf. Finnaly, Nikolai broke the silence.
"Sooo," he drew out, "Any ideas where we might be staying? I mean, this library is nice and all, but It can barely hold all of us now, let alone us living here for however long getting us back takes. We gotta think long-term."
Applejack raised a hoof. "I got the barn."
Al retracted, a disgusted look on his face. "Ew! I'm not staying there! It probably has cow shit all over the floor!"
Sych, also alarmed, broke his unnoticed-by-Spike glare and turned to the group. "Yeah, man. I can't sleep anywhere near goats. They got them eyes, man."
Matt nodded. "Agreed."
Nikolai threw his hands up defensively. "Okay, okay. Is there anywhere else we can stay?"
The girls took a moment to ponder this. Suddenly, Twilight's face lit up. "I got it!" she cried. "What if each of you stays at one of the girls home's individualy? There'd be enough space for each of you!"
Al raised his hand and said in a monotone, "Dibs on the pink one."
"Dammit!" Reggie shouted.
"Yay!" Pinkie cried triumphantly, "It'll be a human party at my place tonight!" Suddenly her eyes grew huge and she gasped.
"OhmygoshIalmostforgottothrowyouguysawelcometoequestriaparty!"
"WaityouthrowpartiesthatssocoolIcanspeakwithoutspacesaswell!" Al replied excitedly.
"Youcanthisissocoolweshouldtalklikethismoreoften!"
"Iknowweshould!"
"Does anyone know what they're saying?" Nikolai side-whispered to Rainbow Dash. She shook her head. He shregged and turned to her. "Well, do you mind if I crash at your place?"
She turned to him, smirking. "Can you walk on clouds?"
Matt looked quizical. "You live on a cloud?" She nodded.
"I think I can help with that," Twilight said to him. "You don't mind if I cast a spell on you, do you?"
He looked slightly troubled at the thought."Um, sure?"
She smiled. "Great! This will just take a second." She focused her eyes and began to charge her horn. "Now, stand still." More and more light was pouring from her magical appendage. Right when her horn was peaking what looked like it's magical capacity, a flash of white light filled the room for just a second, and there stood Matt, slightly somking.
There was another silence as all beings present looked at the Bear-Man. His eyes were clamped shut and his face scrounched up. They all waited in anticipation for his response. Finally, he spoke. "Shit, that felt weird."
Twilight gave a satasfied grin, despite the vulgar human's words. "Now you can walk on clouds with ease!"
Matt opened his eyes and began to walk dizzily toward the cyan pegasus. She laughed. "Looks like you're just getting your could-legs." She saw his look of confusion on his face. "It's and old pegasus saying."
Nikolai turned to Applejack. "You're a farmer you say?" The farmpony nodded and he shrugged in response. "Count me in," he said casually. He turned to the two remaining. "Well. Sych? Reggie?"
Sych had not-so-subtly scooted over to Rarity and gave his best puppy-dog eyes, unnoticed by the Fashionista. Nikolai simply nodded and Sych, still in begging-dog form, panted happily.
Finnaly, that left Reggie and Fluttershy. She turned to her. "Well, that just leaves just mme and you..." The bag-faced human tried to remember her name. There were so many and they were all so strange. "Flutterscoot? Fleetersham?"
"Um, it's Fluttershy," the yellow pony squeaked behind her hair.
Once all of them had been aquainted, Twilight spoke up merrily. "Okay, everypony and... everyhuman."
"We say everyone!" Al shouted quietly as if he was at the back of an auditorium and, indeed, he had somehow made his way to the back of the room.
Twilight continued as if she didn't notice Al's interuption. "Now that you've gotten to know each other, how about we meet each other at Sugarcube Corner tomorrow at around lunchtime?"
They all agreed, though the Real Life Friends knew not of this... Sugarcupe Corner of which they spoke. Nonetheless, once they had agreed, each of the ponies and their respective human left the small Library, leaving Spike and Twilight alone in the living room with all of the weapons that they had brought with them, for they had also agreed to leave them here for the time being.. She turned to the drake, now letting her tiredness show.
"Well," she began wearily, "What did you think?"
"Honestly?" he asked, giving her an are-you-sure look. She nodded in resonse. He looked down in thought, and then back to her. "They're idiots."
Suddenly, Al sung the door open. "Oh yeah!?!" he yelled. "Well, You're a FUCK!!!!!!" He slammed the tiny pony door.
The pony and the dragon just stared at each other.
