Twilight stared at the paper that was given to her, she looked up to the creature staring at her, awaiting her to respond

"Uh...Hello?" asked Twilight

Ashley gave a small smile as he walked back up to the creature and picked up the paper, he proceeded to write on it before giving it back to the creature about 10 seconds later

Twilight read the message aloud "Great, I can see you understand me, are you okay? did he hurt you?" she looked back up to the creature before her "i'm fine, my head is a little sore from it hitting me which what I assume knocked me unconcious"

Ashley clenched his fists and looked towards his friends tied up body "Fucking asshole" he thought to himself, he walked forwards to pick up the paper, he wrote another message and put the paper back infront of the pony-thing  before taking a couple of steps back again.

"I'm deeply sorry what my friend done, I will talk to him about it when the time is right. Can you tell me how i got here? all i remember was a lion like creature hitting me into a tree and then darkness before I woke up here" Twilight was silent as she thought through what she was going to say next "Well, I didn't find you, my two friends did. They saw your injuries and one of them came here to ask me to help them move you out of the forest" She looked towards the tied up creature "I tied you up in case you were dangerous as I have no record of whatever you are in my books"

Ashley was shocked to hear that he was tied up, a small gasp slipped through his lips, he stood there in silence. Thinking through the situation but in the creatures perspective "creature never seen before, tie it up incase it is dangerous...can't blame it for being cautious" thinking to himself

"Can you talk like the other one can?" she asked pointing towards Callum's unconcious body

Ashley nodded his head, he walked over to pick up the paper once more and wrote on it, doing the same as before

"I can talk but I choose not to right now" Twilight read aloud before responding "What are you?"

Ashley decided to take a seat on the table, he pulled out his knife before quietly saying "a human..."

Twilight's eyes gleamed, a entirely new creature was having a conversation with her, she had alot of questions to ask it but she didn't want to overwelm it

"Where am I exactly?" the creature asked Twilight

"You don't know where you are? what are you? an alien or something? You're in Ponyville, Equestria"

This grabbed Ashley's attention fast, he heard those names before but can't remember where from...it only occured to him that this "Ponyville" is inhabited by ponies and that they must be the dominant species seeing as they are sentient beings from what he can see before him. He sat in silence while looking at the floor. The room was silent for a few minutes

Twilight broke the silence with another question "So...Where are you from exactly?"

"Well..." Ashley replied in a quiet tone "judging so far, this must be an entirely different planet since ponies don't talk from where I come from." He stood up and gave a salute "Planet Earth, Willing to die for Great Britain" He turned the hand used to salute into a fist and held it across his chest, looking down with his eyes closed "For queen and country"

"Quite the dedicated one isn't it?" Twilight questioned herself in her head before asking in a curious tone "Earth? Great Britain? Queen? you MUST tell me more soon" giving the creature a small smile "Do you mind if I ask what your name is? that is if you have one..."

"Name's Ashley, Ashley James Cook, but you can call me Ashley" he knelt down next to the pony and held out his hand "What's your name?"

Twilight stared at what Ashley put towards her and put her hoof on it slowly, its skin was soft. Ashley started to shake her hoof before taking his hand back "Atleast it has manners" she thought to herself before holding a hoof to her chest and saying "My name is Twilight Sparkle, Ponyville libarian and the princess' faithful student" she put her hoof back down and tilted her head slightly "So...um...do you have a gender?"

Ashley gave off a small laugh "I am a male and so is my friend here" turning his body slightly to look at Callum's body "His name is Callum...now before you ask questions about him i'm going to say one thing. The reason why he must of hurt you is most likely that he was trying to protect me"

Twilight felt pity for Ashley, he had a close friend who was willing to do anything for him, even kill.

Ashley lowered himself down, taking a seat by leaning his back against the wall, he patted the floor near him with his hand

"Um...that's okay, I think i'm going to stay here" rejected Twilight with an small smile

"Alright, I understand, you want to keep your distance as a new creature you dont know much about is right next to you and its friend was about to kill you. Boy do i know that feeling of about to be killed" a grin started to emerge on his face

Twilight was getting a bit scared and took a step back. Ashley saw this and stood up "if i'm making you uncomfortable then please say so" trying to apologise

Twilight returned to her spot "No...it's fine. i do however have another question for you"

"Ask away" replied Ashley with enthusiasm

"Well...you see...usually when you see a creature with sharp teeth--"

Ashley interupted "they eat meat?" Twilight responded with a nod "Well, yes we humans do eat meat. Our world has alot of different societies and some do eat animals the rest wouldn't eat, for example, dogs, shark and im sorry im going to have to say this..."

Twilight grew curious of the next reponse but was quite disgusted on the animals humans eat

"but some do eat horses"

Twilight's eyes opened wide, she took a couple of steps back, Ashley saw this and tried to apologise "Wait! let me continue...The society I come from does not eat horse due to it being highly frowned upon and even so, humans are in fact omnivores" he opened his mouth wide and pointed to teeth that were flat, he closed his mouth "so we do eat both plants and animals. Just to reassure you, the only animals I eat are pig, cow and chicken. Same with Callum here. Animals on our planet are not as sentient to you ponies when compared and seeing that you are very kind and are handling this situation very well not to mention helping me when I needed it..."

Twilight started to slowly feel comfortable towards Ashley, she took a step forward and sat down. Staring at Ashley's face "Well...I only believe you because you saved me"

"I only trust you because you helped save mine" he gave her a reassuring smile

Twilight's horn started to glow, the quill was dipped into a pot of ink as a piece of paper floated infront of her. She looked towards Ashley who was gobsmacked

"How the heck are you doing that!?" he asked

"Magic...why? do you not have magic where you come from?" Twilight asked as she wrote notes from things they discussed earlier

"Nope, instead our race relied on technology and we are quite advanced if say so myself" Ashley raised his chin up slightly

"can you tell me some of the things your species has done with technology?" Twilight was very interested in this discussion now all because where there is technology, there is SCIENCE!

"Hmm...what to choose? Airplanes...I think this will interest you. As you can see, we humans do not have magic nor wings so we built airplanes. These are giant metallic vessels that are designed to give us flight and to transport supplies. one of my favourites is a jet. These types of airplanes are designed to go at very fast speeds to drop bombs, fire missles. Basically provide air support on the battlefield. Specially designed jets have been confirmed to break the sound barrier and are known to create the Sonic Boom. Thats all I really know about this subject, sorry"

Twilight's quill was scribbling as much down as it could "Oh its fine! what you just said is very interesting, if you have another examples then please do go on!" her tone was filled with excitement.

"Oh boy...this is going to take a while, you know what? instead, im going to show you a personal favourite piece of technology I own" Ashley put his hand into his bag and pulled out his MP3 and the earphones for it.

This grabbed Twilight's attention "What's that" she pointed towards what he held with her hoof

"This" plugging in the earphones "this is a MP3, when you turn it on and have this cable plugged into it..." he put one of the earphones into his ear and held the other towards Twilight who tilted her head in confusion "just put it into your ear, its better to show you"

Twilight walked over to Ashley and sat down next to him, she levitated the small piece into her ear "I dont hear anything" she responded

"Thats because im choosing something for you to listen to" Ashley responded with a cheerful tone, his attention focusing on the MP3's small screen "Ah, here we go!" he hit play

Sound started to come through the small thing Twilight put into her ear, it sounded like a song due to drums being struck fast as well as words being sung "What does this do exactly?" she asked

"It plays music no matter where you are, all it needs is a charge, these earphones, some music stored onto its memory and there you go. Music. I dont really understand it much as I dont really pay attention to all this technical stuff, I only use it for its designed purpose"

Twilight levitated the "earphone" out of her ear, scribbling down more notes onto her paper via magic. "I have many many more questions to ask. Care to ask in a more...well lighten environment?" she stood up and walked towards the stairs, followed by the quill, books that she brought down with her, the small bottle of ink and paper.

"Sure why not?" Ashley stood up only to hear a loud rumbling sound emmiting from his stomach

Twilight looked back  "you can tell me more about your diet while we grab some food" giving a smile

"That'd be nice, thank you for your hospitality" Ashley responded, he put the MP3 and earphones into his bag and followed Twilight.

"Maybe if we could keep this trust going, maybe I will make a new friend" smiled to herself at the thought

Oh mah gawd will you look at that! 2 chapters in one day!? somethin' aint right!

Anyways, I'm really enjoying this part of the story and hopefully so do you. Dont forget to comment / rate!
