Chapter 2: A Kind Friend (Rewritten)

Spike: Geez, why couldn't he be smaller...

Twilight: Well it's not like that's his fault, Spike. We're almost there anyways.

The male alicorn continues to groan in pain. Twilight could've sworn she saw tears on his face. Was it from the pain or is it something deeper? Just who is this pony and why did he come here? There's certainly going to be a lot of questions, but first he needs help. They make it to Fluttershy's cottage, set him down gently, and Twilight knocked on her door.

Knock knock

Fluttershy: Y-yes hello? Oh Twilight, Spike it's you. Why are you two out so late?

Twilight and Spike both look at eachother, wondering what to say as to not frighten her.

Twilight: Okay, Fluttershy, you need to keep calm when I show you something or somepony in this case.

Fluttershy couldn't help but feel nervous when she heard somepony. Why does Twilight want to introduce somepony to her this late at night? However she is the element of kindness might as well meet them, right? Twilight then directs her attention to the alicorn stallion, that's laying on the ground.

Fluttershy: Gasp Twilight is-is he a-

Twilight: Yes, an alicorn. I thought I was dreaming too, but I need your help. He needs your help...

Fluttershy looks at him more closely, she can see the cuts and bruises that is practically all over him. She wasted no time as she finished examining him.

Fluttershy: Oh no. Hurry let's take him inside.

Fluttershy hovers and lifts one end of the stretcher, as Twilight lifts the other end with her magic. Spike was relieved from having to help carry a pony of that size. They make their way into Fluttershy's cottage.

Fluttershy: Okay, let's set him here. Easy now. I'll get the first-aid kit, keep an eye on him for me please?

Fluttershy goes upstairs to receive the first-aid kit.

Spike: Huh, maybe that was the right call bringing him here, Twilight.

Twilight: I knew I made the right call, Spike. Fluttershy is kind to not matter who or what needs help, and I'm sure she'll be a good impression for him.

As Twilight was telling that to Spike, Fluttershy came back down the stairs with the first-aid kit in her hooves, she overheard what Twilight said.

Fluttershy: W-wait, a good impression? Oh, I don't know, Twilight. You know I am when I meet somepony new...

Twilight: Futtershy, there's no time for that right now. We need to help him now!

Fluttershy: Oh, right.

The two of them got to work on helping there new supposed friend. Fluttershy first applies disinfectant, just in case he came across something that would later make him sick. Twilight gently moves him around, so Fluttershy can mend his wounds. Then Fluttershy places bandages on his cuts, being care not to not be rough. Spike assistants with handing her the bandages from the kit. Lastly Fluttershy places an ice pack on his head for good measure.

Fluttershy: Whew, that should do it.

Twilight: I hope we're not interfering with any of your plans Fluttershy...

Fluttershy: Oh, don't worry about it, Twilight. I can always manage later tomorrow.

Twilight: Okay, do you think he can stay here for a bit? I mean look at him, he's not exactly a normal pony. He's not even- He's not from around here. He has nowhere else to go...

Fluttershy takes another look at the alicorn stallion, that is now resting on her couch, covered with bandages. Now that she has time think about it, she realizes what the stallion is. A male alicorn, how is it even possible? From what she knows, alicorns are made and not born. Given the fact that he's not from here, does infact make the born part a possibility. As she continued staring at him, she suddenly felt an intense feeling resonating off of her from him. It was clear, something had happened to him, like he had lost something or somepony that was so important to him. Was it loneliness? Whatever it is, he needs more then just healing his wounds.

Fluttershy: Yes, I can help keep him here.

Twilight: Okay, we'll come by to check up on him tomorrow. Spike and I are very exhausted from all this craziness we went through. It's not everyday a weird flying craft almost lands on you. Ahehehe...

Fluttershy: What?

Twilight: It's a long story. We'll explain it tomorrow morning. Anyways we're going to head back home, goodnight Fluttershy.

Spike: Goodnight!

Fluttershy: Goodnight.

Twilight and Spike head for home.

Fluttershy took a heavy blanket and draped it on the sleeping alicorn stallion.

Fluttershy: I sure hope he'll be okay in the morning...

A little bunny comes out of his hiding spot, curious about the newcomer.

Fluttershy: Shh, try not to wake him up, Angle.

Angle hops on her back to get a better look at the stallion.

Fluttershy: Alright, we should get to bed, I have funny feeling our new friend is going to be bit, well, iffy...

They both head to the bedroom.

Back at the golden oak library, Twilight didn't waste anytime after entering the library. The princesses needs to know what had gone down tonight, it's also very urgent.

Twilight: Spike, I need you take a note!

Spike was quick to grab a quill and parchment.

Spike: Ready.

Twilight: Dear Princess Celestia, as you may already know, the unpredicted meteor shower has just recently past. However something else has happened, we found something that isn't of our world. More importantly, we found somepony, a male alicorn of sorts. He's possibly not from our world at all. He's currently now under the supervision of the element of kindness, Fluttershy. I hate to say this, but this probably something you and princess Luna must see for yourselves. We should keep this under wraps for the time being. I await your response. Your student, Twilight Sparkle.

The next morning, Princess Celestia had already received the urgent letter her student had sent to her late last night. She finishes raising the sun, not long after, she teleports to her sister's room.

Celestia: Luna, it's happened!

Luna: Mmm, what has happened... I can deal with it when I'm awake...

Celestia: That somepony you told me about that night, he's here!

That woke her up and she struggles with her blanket to get out of bed. Thankfully her blanket fit didn't take too long.

Luna: WHAT!

Celestia: Luna, calm down. You know you'll blow out a few windows doing that...

Luna: How can I be calm when, when I knew I felt something that night!

Celestia: Well anyways, I received an urgent message from Twilight. She said we must meet with her in secret, so that the public won't know.

She held the letter in her aura that Twilight sent. Princess Luna takes it and reads the letter, the words that catches her eyes are...

Luna: A male alicorn, not from our world, currently where the element of kindness resides.

Celestia: That is what got my attention as well, Luna. We should get going right now, sister, this is urgent!

Luna: I agree, lets us make haste!

They make their way to meet with Twilight at Fluttershy's home.

Meanwhile at Fluttershy's cottage, the stallion who is resting on the couch, with morning sunlight entering the room, was beginning to stir awake.

???: Oh, my head...

The stallion wakes up with minor headache. He opens his eyes but then shuts them, due to the bright sunlight entering the room. He closely opens his eyes to let them adjust. When they finally did, he started to look around where he currently is.

??? What is this place? I don't remember coming here, this is nice though.

He tries to get up and notices the bandages that wrapped around his torso, his limbs, and even a cold pack on his head. Now he definitely has to thank to someone, because they clearly saved his life. He then sits up right on the couch, letting his eyes wonder. Until he thought he saw something move in the corner of his vision.

???: Okay, I know your there no need to hide.

A little creature with a white coat and long ears, stepped out of it's hiding spot. With what looked like a judgmental look and crossed arms, the stallion couldn't help but be fascinated with how this little creature can be so expressive.

???: Well, hello there little one.

He got up from the couch wanting to meet the little guy, but then how can a little creature like him carry someone that is a tower in comparison. Then he heard a bag drop to the floor and looked at the direction of the noise. He sees another creature that has a yellow coat, a long pink mane and tail, teal eyes, and wings. It looked female, infact it looked almost like himself, just smaller and missing a horn, but what got his attention was the expression on her face as she looks up at him.

Fluttershy: Uhh-uhhhh ummm...

She couldn't say anything, when she can sees that he has quite some height compared to her.

Valiant: Uhh, hi there. I'm Valiant, umm, what's your name?

Fluttershy: Quietly Umm, m-my n-name is F-fluttershy...

Valiant: Fluttershy, that's a nice name.

He smiled at her.

Fluttershy: Gasp Wait, you heard that?!

Valiant: I think I did.

Fluttershy: O-okay, but you should at least sit on the couch, your still healing.

She guided him back on the couch not wanting him to get hurt more.

Valiant: If you say so.

Then he remembered something as he sat down, did she save him? If she did, then she must be a strong pony.

Valiant: Um, hey Fluttershy-

Knock knock he was cut off by a knock at the door.

Fluttershy: One second, Valiant.

Fluttershy opens the door. She couldn't help but be surprised who's visiting along with Twilight and Spike.

Fluttershy: Oh, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna. I wasn't expecting you to visit, please come in.

Luna: We've heard about somepony that is not of our world. Here is he?

She looked at Valiant as he was sitting on her couch, curious to who's visiting. The princesses looked at his direction and were surprised to see an alicorn, a male alicorn no less. He too was in surprise, they look just like him. They were something familiar to him. Twilight was the first to speak.

Twilight: Hello there, I'm Twilight Sparkle a student of Princess Celestia. And this here is Spike.

Spike: Hello!

Then the two sisters made there introductions.

Celestia: Hello, I am Princess Celestia, ruler the day and co-ruler of Equestria, it is an honor to meet somepony from another world, no doubt.

She introduced herself giving him a welcoming smile.

Celestia: And this my sister. Sister?

Princess Luna however, seemed to be entranced by the sight of his eyes. Those pure blue eyes look so inviting, she could get lost in them. It's as if they were pulling her in.

Celestia: Sister? Sister!

Luna: Oh, I apologize. Clears her thought I am Princess Luna, ruler of the moon, the stars, and the night. Co-ruler of Equestria. What is your name, sir?

Valiant: My name is Valiant, I believe you can call me a friend from another star.
