It had just been another day for Slycraft, Ponyville's resident Changeling spy, when he received a message from Queen Chrysalis telling him to be on the lookout for something called, a 'Human' as well as a vague description of the being.
And so he began searching. About this time, William had gotten hungry, and was  looking for something to eat. 
He decided to go on and try asking Twilight first rather than go yell at one of the townsfolk, who still looked at him with worried faces when they passed him by in the street. He walked back to the library.

"Hey uh Twilight, do you know anywhere around here where I can get some food?"

"Sure, Follow me." Responded Twilight.

Slycraft happened to be passing through town square, under his usual disguise as a unicorn stallion. When he caught  eye of  William exiting the library. he remembered the description that his queen had given him about this so called human, and was about to attack when he saw Twilight step out after him.

"Hmmm, Queen say not to attack when elements nearby, me wait."

Slycraft followed the two, Blending in with the crowd as he did.

Twilight led William down main street to what appeared to be a restaurant. William walked over, and sat down in one of the nearby chairs and was Greeted by a waiter, Who first looked at Him nervously, then at Twilight.

"Uh, Twilight, who-what is this thing? And What Is it doing at my restaurant?"

"Hi, There...This is William, He's...Uh...New to Ponyville, And he would like something to eat."

"So long as your paying Twilight, I left the gold bullion back in my home dimension, and I don't suppose you take Dollar bills?" Looking at the Waiter as he did, who gave the grumpy teenager a nod.

"So, Sir, what would you like?"

"Well, nothing with Hay, or flowers for that matter. Can't eat either. So, spaghetti and grilled Cheese?" Asked William.

"Coming right up!" Responded the waiter, who rushed inside the building.

William rolled his eyes, "Wow, This place has every stereotype imaginable, The 'Wired Italian Chief Guy' Included."

"What Do you mean by 'Italian'?" Asked Twilight. 

"You know what, nevermind. I'll Just wait for my food in silence."

But I still have so many questions!, What are your parents like?, Does your Hometown have to deal with villains every other week as well?, How long do humans go to school for..."She trailed off. And William sat there in silence, ignoring any attempts for her to get any thing out of him. Eventually the food came, and he buckled down, and had devoured the entire plate in all of 3 minutes, despite it still being steaming hot. Much to the horror, of Twilight and The waiter.

"Sir, You shouldn't eat that fast!, You'll burn you're tung-"

"MFFFF!, What were you saying about the food being hot?"


"Are the rest of your species as uncivilized as this?" They Both asked.

"No, And neither am I.I was just hungry, I suppose that sums up  lunch for me. Thank you for the food."

Well... You're welcome."

"Great!" He exclaimed, jumping up from his chair as he did. "Now, That That's out of the way, I Need do figure out a way to kill time before the sun goes down, after tha-"

"Hi, There Again Mister Human!, I'm finished Setting up you're welcome party! "Causing him to groan in frustration.

"Aright ,first of all, Pinkie, I told literally told you just a few hours ago not to jump scare me. Are you def or something?"

"Hey! Don't talk to her like that!" Responded Twilight.

"Eh, don't care."

"And listen, both of you. I know this is going to sound weird, but I hate parties. Like with a passion."

"Then I guess we'll have to change that!" Replied Pinkie.

"Not a chance in hell, I hate Chang- Woah!" Before he could say anything else he found himself being dragged along by that  little pink abomination. And he was not happy about it.

"LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE ####! Put me down or I WILL shoot you!!!" Manifesting an m1911 into his hand.

"Okie dokie!!!"   She said to him, Right before Setting him down, somewhat gently on the ground. Emphasis on somewhat.
William dusted himself off, and got to his feet. Meanwhile pinkie, in her hyperactive party state, continued on down the road with a crazy look in her eye.

"You and I are officially enemies!" He shouted out "ever liked her much to begin with. 

"You aright?" Asked Twilight trotting up to him.

"For the most part... Yes, only thing that's hurt is my pride. Can't believe I got downed by a #### magic pink horse. "
Grumbling out the last part.

"Sorry about that, Pinkie can get a little, Intense at times. If you know what I mean."

"Indeed I do." Replied William.

"So, anything else other than going to that 'party' With that pink abomination?"

"First of all, that is my Friend, not an abomination, I could show you around town if you want."

"Sure, just keep your 'Friend' away from me."

Over the next couple of hours Twilight led William all over Ponyville, explaining its history, and introducing its residents to him. Now he stood at one of its many open markets, tapping his foot waiting for Twilight To convince Doctor Whooves over there that William wasn't going to eat him. At this point, he was once more fed up with conversing with other sentient beings, Pony or not. Just then, He heard a cracking noise. Followed by a what appeared to be the equestrian version of a 2 by 6 come crashing down on his head, knocking him to the ground. 

"Oww!, Who hit me with that?!" If it hadn't been for the Kevlar helmet, he would most likely have a concussion right now, be bleeding out on the the ground, and be a hell of a lot more pissed off. 

"Sorry, mister. Didn't mean to knock that over." He'd recognize that voice anywhere. He spun around, to see the Familiar face of a certain grey retarded Pegasus .  

"Derpy! Now There's one pony I don't mind looking at, how are ya?!"Pretending to forget what had just happened. 

"Uh, I'm alright, but how do you  know my name?"

"That is a secret, hey twilight, Do have any extra paper on you?"


"Sure William, here you go ." Pulling a extra sheet of paper out of her book pouch. He took it from her, and walked over to Derpy.

"It's an honor to meet you mam, can I have your autograph?"

"Sure, Why do you need it?" She asked.

"Well, as it happens, I happen to be a fan of you're, and in my opinion  you're the only one around here with any sense."

"Well thanks mister!" She took the paper from him, and signed her name on it.

"No, Thank you mam." He ruffled her mane. Causing her to only look more confused.  She waved goodbye and flew off. 

"Ah, she doesn't even know it but that 'accident' of hers made my day."

He turned and looked off into the distance. 

"Hmm, the sun's going to go down soon, Hey Twilight, do you know any where I can sleep?"

Well, lets see, I'm not leaving you alone in my library, Fluttershy's to scared of you, Pinkies clearly off the table, and so is Rarity, considering the way you reacted to Pinkie Earlier. That leaves Rainbow dash and Applejack.

"Does it look like I have Wings?"

"Fair point, Applejack it is-. Wait. How did you know that Rainbow Dash Lives in Cloudsdale?"

"I Have my ways." 

"Hmmm..." Twilight looked at him with skepticism. But otherwise said nothing.

"I hope she's not onto me." he thought to himself. 

"Follow me." Said Twilight.

"Alright."

The walked out of town , and Towards Applejacks farm. all the while Slycraft followed all the while. William noticed this of course, but thought nothing of it. 

"Hey there Twi, hello again William. What brings you here again?"

"Well, I need a place to sleep for the night and none of your other friends where 'suitable' so to speak."

Well, I don't got space in the house for you big fella-" 

"Say no more, I'll be taking the barn for a while."

""Don't you want a blanket or something?"

"No, I Have it 'covered' so to speak."

"well, ok." 

"Thank you very much. Good night to both of you." He gave them a solute and then proceeded to make a 180 turn on his heel and walk of towards the barn. 

"Sure is an interestin' fella, ain't he Twilight?"

"He sure is, I just hope He doesn't hurt anypony. That reminds me, He asked For Derpy's autograph earlier."

"Now why in tarnation would he ask for hers of all ponies?"

"I have no Idea, See you tomorrow applejack."

"See ya tomorrow Twilight."  

William walked over to of of the apple trees, and plucked one off. 

"They won't miss one, Besides I Haven't even had dinner, so this technically counts as it."

He took a bite into it and continued walking into the barn.

"MHFFHFHF!, Damn best apple I've ever had, might grab some more later." He entered the barn, And manifested a sleeping bag for himself, as well as  a pillow. and reclined back on them.

All the while, Slycraft the changeling continued watching from the edge of the apple field. 

"Yes, I'll wait until the human is asleep, then I'll pounce!"

Oh boy was he in for a surprise...
