His has been by far one of my worst first impressions. I'm usually a sociable kind of guy, but this is by far the worst introduction I have ever made. I thought to myself as I watched the shocked six ponies and the baby dragon with caution now that I don't have splitting head ache.

Now that I can take a good look at my surroundings, from what I can see, I may be placed pre-season five, I think. I feel like it's safe to assume that it is, seeing as there's chairs but no map, table, thingy or something. I thought as I looked around, still somehow invisible. I think I may be a few days after season four, or maybe a few weeks, and why did turning invisible feel so natural to me, like it's second nature to me, like I've been doing it all my life, like it's-

My thoughts suddenly stopped when my ears rang due to the sounds of accusation from a certain rainbow maned pegasus.

"Show your self you scaly coward! I won't let you harm any of my friends! Come out here and fight me, I'm not afraid of you! -WOAH!!!" My ears were ringing since her shout was right next to my ear when she flew up, fortunately she was cut off from her rant by a certain purple princess.

My ears were still ringing that I failed to notice that I was no longer invisible. I don't know why, but I was annoyed at the yelling and the voice of the mare. So I did the one thing I always do best, talk back.

"Three moons! You don't have to yell at me like that! And why do you sound like Tsunami every time I don't do anything right during combat training! I'll have you know, us RainWings are pacifists well, mostly, and we don't even like fighting others......and......we-" I suddenly stopped at what I was saying and looked at the six ponies and one dragon in-front of me with a face of confusion and them with the same face and a slight shock mixed with it.

"What tsunami? RainWings? What combat training are you talking about?" Purple pony princess asked me, but I didn't answer.

Instead I thought about what I just said, really hard. One, I was planning to say 'My god' instead I said 'Three moons'. Two, why do I know the voice of Tsunami? And three, why did I specifically say 'when I don't do anything right during combat practice'?

My thoughts were interrupted again, but this time it was a cream coated, pink maned pegasus that stopped my train of thought by putting a hoof on one of my talons. The sudden contact shocked me and turning my scales blue, but when I looked who it was touching me, I calmed down.

'Don't worry, you're just confused, we won't hurt you' Fluttershy thought. Although she didn't say anything I herd her thoughts loud and clear in my head.

"See girls, he's not dangerous, he's just a little confused and scared." Fluttershy said to the rest of her friends as I listened to them converse. Although RD is giving me the stink eye, also AJ, but not that much.

This might be my one chance to clear things out and explain myself, so I visibly relaxed my body, though I didn't hear their previous conversation due to the questions lingering in my head, the others looked less tense thanks to Fluttershy that defused the situation before any more conflict rose.

Do I even tell them my real name?.....hmmm. I think I don't think so, I mean I'm a bit freaked out that I'm not human anymore, and given the chance, do I even want to go back? Eh...fuck it, life on earth was pretty boring and uneventful, this is a nice to have change of pace in life. New possibilities now available to me. I just wish nothing bad happens.

So I sat down like a dog, which...actually feels quite comfortable and spoke. "We may have gotten on the wrong talon here, but I'll introduce my self again. My name is Stargazer, nice to meet you." Where did that confidence come from?



After my calm introduction, they see that I have no ill intent to them, so they relaxed as well, mostly. AJ and RD still look skeptically at me, mostly Rainbow, but as I read into their thoughts, they trust their friends enough to let me off the hook, for now. Sure enough the started introducing themselves, even though I already know who they are, I kept quiet, just so I don't reveal anything important that would make them suspicious of me. Especially around the lie detector.

After they introduced themselves, I just noticed how small I am, like I know from the books that even for a dragonet, WoF dragons are supposed to be huge, but my size and height can be measured through these ponies. I mean like, their height, standing, is the height of my forearm. I am really small. My attention was then taken by Twilight as she moves forward in-front of me.

"I'm really sorry for my reaction while ago, I may be sociable but I panic a bit when startled, eh...hehehe." I told her apologetically while chuckling, as she looks at me with curious eyes. "Please forgive my actions, I was having a really hard head ache." I said as I scratch the back of my neck.

"OH! No, no, no, we're the ones who should be sorry. I guess we should have seen that you were having a rough time. I guess we were also startled by your changing colors, since I haven't seen any kind of dragon like you." She said looking up at me with a small smile. And your probably one of the nicest dragons I've seen since then. She thought, but I clearly understood what she thought. And that probably solves one of my theories, that thoughts about you are harder to block or silence when mind reading some one.

"Just, don't worry too much about me, I'm fine and all, well...except for the head ache, BUT other than that I'm fine" I said assuring them, but then I said something else that I didn't think of in my mind. "It's just weird on how pray can talk, I mean, it's not like I don't like meat, it's just I prefer looking for fruit more than hunting." After I said that, they backed away slightly in fear of being eaten. I had to think of something quick before they start running, so I said nervously "WE....probably....don't know much about each other. Eh...hehehe. Em.....how bout we ask each other questions so that we could know each other a little better? What do you say?" 

"Ummm....." Twilight thought for a moment then looked at her friends. Them on the other hand feel uncomfortable on the prospect of talking with a "large" dragon that think of them as pray, but I couldn't blame them. After a few minutes they agreed on asking me questions and answering them and me doing the same to them, just to know me a little better. "Sure, why not?"

I sighed in relief and laid down. Making myself feel comfortable, I looked straight at them and said. "Ask away"
