Dear Diary
Bons brought home a HUMAN today. She’s the best marefriend ever, she knows exactly what to bring me to make me happy. Here I was thinking that she couldn’t stand my research of humans, whatever could have given me that idea?
Did I mention he’s a new human? That means I don’t have to share him with Rainbow Dash or any of the other “Elements of Harmony” Those greedy mares have their own human, they’d better stay away from mine. I’ll defend him from them any way I can.
He scratched behind my ears too, oh sweet Celestia how heavenly it felt. I’ve wished for that ever since I witnessed him doing the same thing to Rainbow Dash, I can see why that jealous nag won’t let him out of her sight. Someday I’ll have hands like those and scratch Bons behind the ears too.
Humans look a lot alike both of them have dark manes and light colored skin, neither of them have cutie marks and aside from their clothing they look very similar. But they do have their differences. Alex Roberts has small creases around his eyes, his skin is slightly darker and he’s taller.
My human, Matthew Brennan is shorter with lighter skin and darker hair, he looks like he weighs more but I can’t tell how much of that is him and how much is that shell that he wears everywhere. Speaking of that shell, I don’t like it, he can use it to hide his face from me, I tried to get him to take it off but he gets aggressive if I even suggest it. Bons says I just need to be patient and more importantly remain calm, that he took off that helmet when he was alone with her. It’s not fair, he’s supposed to bond with ME! He’s mine not hers, it’s just not fair. I’ll figure out how to tame him yet, it’s just a matter of time.

Dear Diary
Is my research into humans more dangerous than I thought? Matthew said something that really scared me today. When I asked him if he was going to eat his arm (due to hunger of course) he laughed and replied “It’s either that or a horse.” He bared his teeth when he said it. I know humans are omnivores so the fact he eats meat is established and as I said in my research notes that may include ponies and other living creatures. I prayed to Celestia and Luna with all my heart to have a human of my own, I’m afraid I’ve eaten more hay than I can stomach. If he wants to eat me that’s fine, but I couldn’t live with myself if he ate Bons. But I must endure if for no reason other than the fact that only I can see the promise involved with researching humans.
Of course it was explained to me that both of the expressions “I’m so hungry I could eat my own arm.” and “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse” are supposed to be comical exaggerations of hunger, he promises me that no one would do either of those things. But I’m not so sure, I’ve been hungry enough to consider eating grass that has been trampled on, is eating your own arm or an intelligent creature that different for something that eats meat?

I may have discovered a new ability, but before I commit it to paper I must be certain. This field of research is still too new and fragile to suffer falsehoods.

Intrigued
Dear Diary,
Matt must be a different subspecies of human, he can fly. That would make him the pony equivalent of a pegasus. How I missed this is beyond me, he has no discernible flight limbs or organs. In fact I wouldn’t even know this if I hadn’t asked Derpy if she’d seen a human. Of course she assumed I meant Alex, he is the popular human but my Matthew will be the favourite human soon enough. I just have to discipline him not to talk about anything that will scare the other ponies away. But she was able to confirm that she had flown into him after making a delivery. Normally I would not trust an eyewitness report from a visually challenged pony such as her but upon close inspection of the area I was able to locate paint from his unusual clothing on the side of a building and a human shaped impression on the ground, I made a cast of the impression on the ground and shall save it for further analysis.

Looking forward to training
Dear Diary,
Bon-Bon continues to search for my lost human, I think that we’re better off waiting. He knows where his home is and will come back to me when he gets hungry or tired, just like a dog. I shouldn't say that, Bons gets mad at me when I treat him like a snuggly wuggly pet. He's a person, just like any pony. No matter how dextrous his hands are. In the meantime I’ve had a chance to examine the casting of the imprint he left behind after being knocked out of the sky. The clothing Matthew wears looks like a material that mixes rubber and some tough fabric with oddly positioned lumps in the middle of gaps between the metal plates. These plates are symmetrical on his body although the right forearm seems much thicker than the left (almost 2 whole centimetres). They resemble in some ways the armor worn by the Royal Guard, but seem designed for something other than pastries the paint on the metals is scratched, burned and otherwise worn in a way that suggests that he’s been attacked by something very dangerous. Unlike his limbs his body is completely covered in metal plates, all perfectly crafted and interlocking, I can’t believe the workponiship that must have gone into it. I have yet to touch it but if it’s as common as Alex says then it may be made out of aluminum, if so he is wearing more bits worth of noble aluminum than all the noble ponies in Canterlot could afford.
As for the ability to fly, I theorize at this point that human flight is a fragile ability, it may be that Alex was capable of this at one time as well, I believe that the scarring on Alex’s back or his age to be the reason he is unable to fly anymore Perhaps I should cut short my inspection to find him, the poor little guy could be hurt.

Suddenly concerned
Dear Diary
I know I should be focussing completely on finding my Matthew but I can spare enough attention to write this as I trot. I found blood on the ground near the impact crater, I can only summarize that it belongs to him and he is in fact injured, close secondary examination shows that it is from his left leg. How that could be injured with the shell of metal that surrounds it is beyond me, I will have to examine him carefully after he goes to sleep tonight for any injuries. Anyways I should focus more on finding him, he unknowingly seems to be headed right for the Everfree Forest, even worse he’s headed for the entrance that is in sight of both the library and the shut in Fluttershy’s cottage. I won’t lose my Matthew to either of them.
