Chapter II
Slowly buy gradually; he saw the sun bearing on his eyelids, prompting to lazily open them. He managed to stretch but hit his hands on the roof since he fell asleep upright and extended his arms by the sides of the head rest to complete his top stretch. Wondering how tired he must have been to not even adjust his seat back and down to a flat position, not even the back seats of his wagon to have a fully sized flat surface to sleep on.
As he realized how full his bladder was from the day prior, he pressed the unlock button to the doors, getting no response to the familiar unlocking mechanism. “Oh shit, battery’s dead”, he said to no one, and made his way to the ignition switch, “Good thing this is a manual”, he said in a low voice with no worry and resetting the key to the Off position, seeing as these types of cars are easy to get going again with just a push.
He then reached for the lock poking out a bit on the top of the door and manually lifted it up with his right hand and left hand on the handle to open the door. With his eyes the size of coin slots, he stepped out of his car and fully stretched one more time, curving his back and lying on the curvature of the car’s side. Satisfied with his stretch, he then unzipped his pants for his daily morning twinkle facing nowhere, completely unaware of where he actually was. Enjoying his business with a smile, he twitched from the last drops. With a sigh of relief, he packed his belonging and re-zipped his trousers up. He yawned and looked about his surrounding, noticing various old-styled houses close by. “Uh…”, he heard and looked to his left expecting someone to kick him out of the side of the road, all he saw was a small lavender horse and more behind its back of various colors.

Twilight Sparkle woke up early thanks to Spike’s curiosity about what will happen today, she didn’t blame him, she was just as curious as him. Getting out of bed and making her way to her mirror, she grabbed a comb with her magic and groomed her mane. She then heard a knock on her door, she then made her way downstairs to answer the door when Spike got to it first.
From the other side of the door was Rainbow Dash looking at the weird wagon, she then heard the door open and saw Spike with a smile. “Heya Spike, what is that thing?” she said while pointing to the strange cart.
Spike then walked out to have a look at it, he couldn’t understand its purpose, “whoa” he said. “I don’t know, Twilight was working on a new spell until I heard an angry noise, not sure if it was that thing.” He said confusedly, trying to think of other possibilities for what could have produced that noise, because carts and wagons don’t make loud noises.
Twilight then approached the door to see Rainbow Dash and Spike looking at the heavy looking contraption.
“Oh hey, Twi”, said Rainbow Dash, “what is this thing?” she added, hovering and flying on top of the wagon, examining it’s shiny black surface, wondering why they would paint it all black, even the wheels.
“I’m not sure, my Remote Object Teleportation spell didn’t pick up what I had in mind and brought back this thing” Twilight said, joining them in studying the vehicle.
Spike then made his way to what looked like the back of the wagon, looking up to see some letters and numbers. “Hey Twilight, look at this”. Twilight then made her way to where Spike was to look at a strange rectangle which Spike pointed to.
“What does it mean?” she said, getting a close look at it.
“You tell me.” Spike said with a shrug.
Rainbow Dash then flew above the wagon and said, “I’m gonna go tell the others, be right back”, with that, she flew into the direction of Fluttershy’s cottage.
Twilight then put her forelegs on the side of the cart to get a view inside from a window, but she couldn’t manage to see anything due to the windows being black.
After a few minutes from trying to find out its purpose, Rainbow Dash returned flying with Fluttershy on tow and the rest of her friends walking below. As they approached it, Fluttershy then said, “It looks kind of scary” hiding in her mane at the thought of who would paint a cart all black.
Rarity then made her way to the back of it, examining the logo above a rectangle with numbers and letters, “By the look of this emblem, it must resemble luxury.” She said, “Could this come from Canterlot?” she added, wanting to know to whom it belongs to.
Pinkie Pie then joined Rarity and made her way to one of the holes poking out the back. Leaning in to sniff it, her eyes closed with disgust, “Eww, it smells bad” she said.
Spike then came and inserted his right arm to one of the silver holes, trying to find what was in those holes. “There’s nothing in here.” He said, getting shocked looks from everypony. “What?” he said.
“Spike, your arm!” Twilight said, “It’s covered with black spots!”
“Gah! What is it?!” He quickly said, using his other hand to remove the weird buildup inside the hole. He managed to get it all off and with a sigh of relief he said “whew, never doing that again”.
All of their ears perked up at what they thought they heard a knock from inside the wagon. Watching and hearing in complete silence, they heard a voice from behind the front left door and made their way to it by just a few feet. Another voice was heard, a click, another, and the door opened, seeing as an arm pushed the door open, wondering what kind of creature was inside. Then a long leg came out and using the same arm that was used to open the door, it placed it to the side of the wagon and out rose a tall, slim creature. They stared at it with mouths ajar, thoughts raced through their minds trying to find out what kind of creature was this. Only few creatures use their back legs for walking. Seeing as it didn’t notice them, it started to what looked like stretching by lifting its arms and curving its spine, then it laid himself on the side of the wagon, taking the curvature of the cart. The ponies looked in astonishment at what might the creature do next.
Then it proceeded to do something by its waist and they heard the sound of a zipper, they were staring at [it]it, all their minds turned blank as Spike turned to cover his eyes. It then put it back inside and just stared off into the distance. Twilight tried to say something but couldn’t. “Uh…” her mouth slipped; having no idea why she just said that. It then turned to look at her direction; she tried to read its facial expression and knew it was that of confusion and some embarrassment.

He just hid his face inside his palms, “Ohhh my goodness” he said with a small chuckle, looking away from the ponies and try to think of something to say. Knowing fully who they were, he uncovered his face and turned to look at them, “Forgive me if you witnessed me doing… what I had to do” he said with a calm smile and the last part slowly. “Why am I here?” he said as he put his fingers on the bridge of his nose.
“Don’t worry, it was kind of…” Twilight Sparkle said with a confused look, trying as hard as possible to push that thought away. “I’m Twilight Sparkle, you’re in Ponyville, and you’re here because my Remote Object Teleportation spell didn’t go according to plan” she said.
“And these must be your friends…” he said with a chuckle, covering his face with a hand at the thought of them watching him do his business. “Again, forgive me”, he added.
“Oh no, it’s okay” “Don’t worry” “I won’t tell” was all he heard at the same time with weird looks on their faces, “it was…nice”, he thought the yellow one said it in a low voice, but just let it slip.
“So…” he said after a moment of silence, expecting to leave the weird thought behind. He then was quickly approached by the six of them, stumbling back inside his car, he was then flooded with questions.
“Where are you from?”
“What are you?”
“What kind of wagon is this?”
“Why is it all black?”
What bla bla bla?”
And so on.

The ship is turning.
Spike will not ingest anything, he's too young.
